Chapter 555: Speculations About Zoroa's Non-Evolution

Listening to the words of his friends, Charizard blew out two streams of white air from his nostrils and strode toward the battle site with his head held high.

"The battle begins!"

As Kakashi shouted "Start", Charizard and Lucario quickly condensed chakra to use their respective moves.

'smokescreen! ’

Charizard quickly flapped its wings and flew up, while condensing chakra in its mouth and spitting out black and gray smoke.

The battle just now was also interesting. Most of Lucario's fighting methods are close-range physical techniques, and its flying advantage can largely render the opponent's physical techniques useless.

Coupled with the smoke screen that can obscure the sight, Lucario has no way to know its location and use long-range attacks.

‘There was a flash of lightning! ’

Lucario gathered all his strength and rushed out quickly, but he didn't have time to hit Charizard before it took off.

At this time, the black and gray smoke that the fire-breathing dragon continued to emit shrouded the open space, making it difficult to see the specific situation.

"It seems that Obito and Charizard don't know that it has sentience yet." Kakashi shook his head upon seeing this.

It's not that there are no ninjutsu that can hinder sensory abilities, Kirigakure's Kirigakure no Jutsu can, but Charizard's Smoke Screen obviously does not belong to that type of ninjutsu.

But this Kakashi can understand, Charizard has never fought Lucario before, and Lucario's usual training is similar to that of Metkai, all kinds of physical exercises, and it is really difficult to see that he has sentience. ability.

If Kakashi didn't know enough about the shadow clone of the Mane Rock Werewolf, coupled with his meticulous observation of previous battles, it would probably be difficult to discover this information.

‘Wave missile! ’

Losing his vision, Lucario simply closed his eyes and felt the power of the waveguide.

Lucario felt Charizard's wave guide while condensing wave missiles on his claws.

Sensing Charizard's offensive intention, Lucario, with his eyes closed, dodged the incoming fire pillar and released a wave missile towards the sky.

boom!

The wave missile hit Charizard, causing Charizard's flight to become shaky.

Since Charizard did not continue to use the smoke screen, the gray mist dispersed at this time, revealing the slightly embarrassed figure of Charizard.

"Ouch?" Charizard was a little surprised, not only by being hit, but also by the power of the missile.

It saw the Mane Rock Werewolf being knocked unconscious by a wave missile and thought it was very strong, but the result was that the pain was only average.

"It seems I'm really strong!" Charizard became more confident.

It felt like it couldn't fall down even if it took two more wave missiles.

Rounding it out doesn’t mean it can fight three Mane Rock Werewolves.

The confident Charizard regrouped and quickly flapped its wings to fly around Lucario, looking for opportunities to attack.

‘Wave missile! ’

Lucario continued to gather the power of the waveguide without changing his expression.

If one wave missile can't defeat Charizard, then two, three or four!

Anyway, Charizard has absolutely no way to avoid the wave missile by flying.

‘Spray flames! ’

Seeing Lucario firing wave missiles at it again, Charizard opened its mouth and spit out flames at the incoming wave missiles.

Although he won't be seriously injured, being hit by a wave missile will still hurt.

Boom! !

The thick and deep pillar of fire submerged the blue energy bomb, an explosion sounded, the wave missile disappeared, and the pillar of fire also dispersed in the air.

"Ouch!" The fire-breathing dragon raised its head and roared.

The wave missile used to defeat the Mane Rock Werewolf is nothing more than that. Offense is the best defense!

‘Air Blade! ’

Charizard concentrated a large amount of chakra on his claws and threw several wind blades at Lucario in one breath.

Swish! !

The wind blade is extremely fast, and the fire-breathing dragon is released while flying around Lucario, blocking Lucario's dodge space from multiple angles.

Lucario still maintained his previous indifferent expression. He quickly stretched out his claws, and then metallic luster appeared on the claws.

‘Metal claw! ’

Lucario waved his claws covered in metallic luster and forcefully scattered the incoming wind blade.

Whoops! !

The fire-breathing dragon's attack did not end here, and then another stream of heat accompanied by flames hit Lucario.

‘Hot air! ’

This time, Lucario failed to dodge perfectly, and the hair on his chest became a little burnt.

Although it had a premonition of the incoming attack, the range of the hot wind was much larger than the previous move, so it could not completely dodge it.

‘Spray flames! ’

Charizard was unyielding when he gained the upper hand, and immediately sprayed out a thick pillar of fire at Lucario.

Lucario knew he was invincible and immediately mobilized all his strength to dodge.

The expression on Charizard's face became arrogant.

It is known that the Mane Rock Werewolf was beaten by Lucario, and now Lucario is easily suppressed by it. It can be said that it is greater than Lucario and is greater than the Mane Rock Werewolf.

Now Charizard just wants to say, Lucario, you are just a challenger.

Even if its fire-breathing dragon has inferior intelligence, it can't be defeated even if there are multiple Obito oil bottles.

When Charizard realizes it has the upper hand, it wants to end the fight in one fell swoop.

Just like how Lucario defeated the Mane Rock Werewolf.

Charizard can already imagine Menas's admiring expression when the time comes. After all, it will definitely be very handsome then.

In order to make it easier for his attacks to hit Lucario, Charizard lowered its flying height.

The high flying height allows Charizard to not worry about Lucario's physical attacks, but it also makes Charizard's attacks more difficult to hit.

A large amount of chakra was condensed in Charizard's throat, and a thicker column of fire than before was ejected.

But Lucario, who noticed this scene, was instead bright-eyed.

‘Bone sticks hit randomly! ’

Lucario clenched his fist in the air, and the earth attribute chakra condensed in his hand to form two bone-shaped chakra sticks.

Whoosh! !

At this time, the hot column of fire ejected by Charizard attacked.

However, Lucario had already planned everything in his mind.

It suddenly jumped back to the tree behind.

The flames maintained by Charizard continued to sweep towards the trees behind.

Crash!

Lucario used all his strength to jump up with the help of the tree.

Charizard was a little panicked when he noticed Lucario's actions, but at this time he certainly couldn't rise to a distance that Lucario couldn't attack in one breath, so Charizard could only fly sideways to dodge.

However, what Charizard didn't expect was that Lucario was just a feint, and didn't jump towards it, but jumped to another tree.

Bang!

Lucario, who had successfully tricked Charizard, suddenly jumped up again, swinging his bone club and hitting Charizard hard.

Charizard's eyes widened, and the huge force from the hit instantly made it know why the Wolf Man was knocked down in two hits.

The Charizard, which was hit, could no longer keep flying and fell to the ground hard.

At this moment, the flame on Charizard's tail burned fiercely.

'Spray the flame! '

The Charizard, who fell to the ground, didn't have time to think too much and immediately sprayed a large amount of flame to stop Lucario from continuing to attack him.

If Lucario was impatient, perhaps Charizard's merit would have a miraculous effect.

But Lucario didn't rush ahead. After using the power of the waveguide to detect Charizard's intention, it chose to condense the wave missile on the spot.

At the moment when the flame stopped and Charizard took off, the blue energy ball hit Charizard again.

Boom!

Charizard fell to the ground again, and this time it turned into a circle-eyed and fainted on the ground.

"Huh." Lucario breathed a sigh of relief.

It is much harder to defeat Charizard than to defeat Garou.

If Charizard had not given it the opportunity to lower its flight altitude, it would have been difficult for Lucario to inflict heavy damage to Charizard in one go.

Because its most effective move against Charizard at present is to hit it with its bone stick, but if Charizard flies high enough, it can't hit it at all.

"Lucario wins!" Seeing that Charizard was unable to fight again, Kakashi announced the result of the battle.

The process of this battle once again verified some of Kakashi's previous assumptions.

The Chakra system between Pokémon has a great influence on victory or defeat.

According to Kakashi's understanding of Charizard and Garou, the two are almost the same in terms of hard power.

In the actual battle, Garou was suppressed by Lucario, and Charizard could suppress Lucario in turn, and lost the battle due to carelessness.

"It has tried its best. Although it lost, it also caused a lot of damage to the opponent." Obito said with a look of pity.

Garou:? ?

You say yours, why do you keep looking at it and Kakashi?

Seeing the unhappy face of the Wolf Mane, Obito felt happy.

Although it was a bit uncomfortable to praise his own dragon against his conscience, as long as he could fight against the evil white-haired forces, it would be worth it.

"Another victory, I'm right, the body that is exercised day and night will respond to you." Might Guy laughed and was happy for his Pokémon.

So far, Lucario has fought three battles with other Pokémon, one loss and two wins, which means that the winning rate is 66%, which is a very high winning rate.

In the first two years of Might Guy's Ninja School, his winning rate was pitifully low, almost in the single digit, which means that he could only win once in dozens of times.

In the battle with a genius like Kakashi, the winning rate was even lower, which was zero percent.

"Luo!" Lucario recalled Might Guy with a smile, and then looked at Milotic.

It had the urge to challenge Milotic.

Because Might Guy is the strongest disciple among all the disciples, then as a Pokémon that has signed a contract with Might Guy, it is natural to become the strongest Pokémon.

But Lucario suppressed his desire to challenge Mienshao.

The battle with Charizard consumed a lot of its mind and physical strength, and even injured it.

If it wants to recover to its peak state, it needs a lot of time to rest and recover.

It is now dusk after the training, and Lucario does not want to waste too much time for others because of himself.

Finally, Lucario turned his eyes away from Mienshao and began to condense chakra.

"Although it seems that there is no problem, let's treat it." Nohara Lin split a shadow clone, preparing to treat Charizard with the main body and Lucario with the shadow clone.

Mienshao also came to Nohara Lin's side to condense chakra to help Nohara Lin with treatment.

Lucario shook his head and quickly changed the nature of the condensed chakra.

'Life Drop! '

A blue-green water ball was generated above Lucario.

Then the water ball quickly exploded in the air, and drops of blue-green water fell on Lucario and Charizard.

When the water droplets containing healing power fell on his body, Lucario's injuries, which were not serious to begin with, recovered rapidly.

Milotic looked at Lucario in surprise, not expecting that Lucario, who looked like a ruthless warrior, also had the same healing skills as him.

Nohara Lin's healing combined with Lucario's life drops quickly woke Charizard up.

Feeling the coolness and comfort brought to his body, and looking at the Milotic next to him, Charizard cried out with emotion.

"Awoo!"

"Goddess, your healing ninjutsu is so powerful. I feel that my body and mind are completely healed in an instant. This is what it said." Zoroya translated accurately.

At this moment, the scene fell into silence.

"How did I hatch it? It really doesn't look like me at all." Obito covered his mouth and worried that he would laugh out loud.

If it weren't for his summoning beast, Obito would have laughed crazy. After all, it was his summoning beast, so he had to save some face.

"Aww." After a long silence, Milotic explained.

"The life drop just now was cast by Lucario. This is what it said, hehe." Zoroya couldn't help laughing after translating.

It is professional and usually doesn't laugh unless it can't help it.

Charizard was stunned, looked at Milotic, and then at Lucario.

Bang!

Charizard fell down again, as if the battle just now had left it with serious injuries, causing it to only stay awake for a moment.

No one tried to wake up Charizard, and they all assumed that Charizard was unconscious at the moment. After all, the damage caused by the incident just now might be greater than the bone stick that Lucario hit it with.

"It turns out that Lucario has mastered medical ninjutsu. In this way, even if Akai does not team up with us in the future, he does not have to worry about the problem of treatment." Kakashi felt that all the Pokémon eggs sent by Mu Yue were the result of careful selection.

Due to the special nature of the Eight Gates, Kakashi has always been worried about Might Guy.

The Eight Gates are strong, but once the number of gates increases, even if the body is very strong, it only reduces damage, not immunity to damage, so injuries are commonplace.

If there is no good medical ninja, it is easy to leave sequelae due to untimely treatment.

Kakashi has personally experienced the effect of the Life Drop, which is also considered advanced among medical ninjutsu, and is absolutely sufficient in most cases.

After returning home, Zoroa hummed a little tune and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Looking at Zoroa who looked happy, and thinking about the other disciples' Pokémon that had evolved, and thinking about Zoroa's previous complaints about evolution.

Shisui had a guess in his mind.

However, he was not sure whether his guess was correct or not, after all, Pokémon were very different from ordinary summoned beasts in the ninja world.

"Let it be." Shisui smiled helplessly. Even if he guessed right, it would be useless. Would he force Zoroa?

PS: The two chapters together are 8k, which should be okay in terms of quantity.

In addition, it's the end of the month, so I'll ask for votes.
