At this moment, the two skills of Overlord Charizard and Mega Houndoom were colliding violently.
After hearing Uncle Luo's explanation, Zhang Heng was even more shocked as he murmured, "So it's an Overlord Charizard with a hidden ability, plus it used Fire Blast, which is more powerful than Flamethrower. No wonder it could temporarily stand its ground against Mega Houndoom."
Rumble~
The collision of the berserk Fire-type skills continuously produced violent explosions in this space.
In the end, it was clear that Charizard was the first to lose strength. Charizard immediately stopped releasing the skill, shook its wings, and quickly adjusted its body to dive down.
Flamethrower, freed from the restriction of Fire Blast, shot straight into the sky like a fire dragon. After all, Flamethrower, with its double power boost, was still extremely powerful.
When Charizard landed, Zhang Lei Yuan leaped from Charizard's back and walked over to Li Guanjun and Luo Hong, saying, "Li Guanjun, Brother Luo. You've worked hard taking care of my son. I hope he didn't cause you any trouble."
As he spoke, he extended his hand to Li Guanjun, who didn't hesitate and shook hands with Zhang Lei Yuan.
Zhang Lei Yuan spoke with a gentle and refined tone, making people feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze. Unlike Li Guanjun, who had the imposing aura of a superior, Zhang Heng's father, Zhang Lei Yuan, had more of the scholarly demeanor of a teacher.
Li Guanjun and Zhang Lei Yuan looked at each other, seemingly calm. The atmosphere between the two was a bit strange. But don't forget, Zhang Lei Yuan had consecutively defeated eight of the region's strongest Elite Four Trainers within five days, earning him the right to challenge the regional Champion.
Originally, incidents involving international thieves like this could have been resolved by sending out the region's strongest Elite Four Trainers. However, the main Pokémon of these eight Trainers had all been defeated by Zhang Lei Yuan alone and had not yet recovered, which meant only the Champion could personally intervene.
Moreover, Zhang Lei Yuan had done this intentionally, deliberately suppressing the eight Elite Four Trainers to create a shortage of personnel for the Alliance, and then publicized the information about challenging the Champion across major forums and domestic news headlines.
This left Li Guanjun stretched thin. To achieve his ultimate goal of concealing the secret of the legendary Pokémon on Lake Heart Island and providing his son with an opportunity to capture it, his plan was meticulous, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed to capture the legendary Pokémon.
Li Guanjun spoke, "I've heard that Zhang Lei Yuan, the helmsman of the Zhang Corporation, is a Trainer skilled in using electric-type and Dragon-type Pokémon. Seeing him today, he actually brought out a Charizard. Could it be that you also dabble in Fire-type Pokémon?"
Zhang Lei Yuan merely smiled indifferently upon hearing this and said, "Who would have known that Charizard could change its type after Mega Evolution?"
Upon hearing this, Li Guanjun narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Lei Yuan's Overlord Charizard. An armlet was embedded on its arm, and inside the armlet was a mega evolution stone with a blue spiral pattern.
"Oh? Is that so? That's interesting then. I look forward to our battle."
At this moment, Mega Charizard Y and this Overlord Charizard gazed at each other, their eyes filled with intense battle intent. As expected of an Overlord Charizard, its physique was even larger than that of a regular Charizard.
Even when compared to Mega Charizard Y, which had undergone Mega Evolution and significantly enhanced its physique, it was only slightly smaller by an inch. It was unknown to what extent the Overlord Charizard's physique would become robust after Mega Evolution.
Liziji, who had been left ignored and unnoticed, now had an even gloomier expression than before. Above his head, veins like earthworms gradually appeared and became increasingly dense, finally forming a terrifying and hideous sight.
Just then, Liziji could no longer suppress the surging rage within him. He suddenly opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar, "Enough! You detestable fellows, do you truly think we don't exist? Zhang Lei Yuan, if you have the guts, get out here and have a proper head-on confrontation with me! Don't hide like a coward! Hmph, you despicable, shameless, insidious, and cunning Huaguo person!"
On the other side, upon hearing Liziji's roar, filled with anger and provocation, Zhang Lei Yuan not only showed no fear but instead, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward, forming a smile full of disdain and mockery.
He looked back at him and said, "Mr. Liziji, I express my deepest regrets regarding your physical disability. Our Zhang Corporation has also been researching the success rate of such surgeries. I believe that in the near future, I will definitely be able to cure your infertility."
Li Guanjun: "Infertility?"
Zhang Heng: "Sterility?"
Luo Hong, seeing their confused expressions, also spoke up to explain, "Previously, the Zhang Corporation had business concerning Pokémon medicinal ingredients in the Thousand Island Country. The Water Blade Gang's stronghold was also in the Thousand Island Country, so our merchant ships were constantly harassed by the Water Blade Gang. One time, Lei Yuan personally led the escort team and had a conflict with Liziji."
Zhang Heng, like a curious baby who had opened a floodgate, pressed further, "And then? What does this have to do with infertility?"
Luo Hong clenched his fist, brought it to his mouth, and lightly coughed, then continued, "That day, Lei Yuan, by means of a sneak attack, sank two of the Water Blade Gang's pirate speedboats. Liziji was on one of those speedboats. Immediately afterward, he ordered his Pokémon to unleash indiscriminate Discharge attacks. Although Liziji was rescued in time by his Pokémon, that instant of high-voltage current caused irreversible damage to his body."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng couldn't help but cross his legs, "All the Water Blade Gang bandits fell into the sea, and then my dad had his Electric-type Pokémon use Discharge into the sea?"
"Mm, yes."
A chill ran down Zhang Heng's spine. He thought, "Water is highly conductive, and facing a group of bandits who had fallen into the water, my dad's powerful Discharge attack essentially left them no chance of survival. Even if they survived, it would likely result in some kind of disability."
Li Guanjun enjoyed the show, not caring about the trouble. Anyway, this was within Huaguo territory; what more could these bandits possibly do?
He said, "Tsk tsk tsk, so that's how it is. No wonder a thief who values his life so much would come to Huaguo territory for the safety of his child. I initially thought highly of him, but now it seems he's just impotent."
Liziji, hearing these Huaguo people discussing his most unwanted past, immediately burst into a rage.
"Mega Houndoom, Flamethrower! Burn them all to ashes with your scorching flames!"
Mega Houndoom was rapidly gathering the dense Fire-type energy from its surroundings, and the energy fluctuations it emitted were incredibly shocking.
"Now! Rescue Dr. Chen!"
Upon hearing Zhang Lei Yuan's words, Liziji had been on guard because Dr. Chen was now their bargaining chip, and he quickly reacted.
"Malamar, Protect. Don't let anyone get near you."
Just as the words fell, no one noticed Li Gusi, who was standing behind Liziji. From the shadows beneath his feet, two eerie, shadow-like hands suddenly shot out!
