Chapter 883 876: The Art of Explosion

"Magmortar, use Flamethrower!"

After hearing Ethan's words, Magmortar raised the cannon on its right arm.

Amid rumbling sounds, the mouth of the cannon began to shine with red light.

Boom!

An explosion sounded.

A thick column of scarlet fire roared forward, pressing directly toward the Feraligatr on the other side.

Seeing this, Feraligatr also opened its mouth and launched a spiral-shaped stream of water.

In midair, the two attacks collided.

But there was no explosion from a violent clash.

The instant the two attacks met, the Flamethrower move suppressed the Hydro Pump move as if crushing it effortlessly.

The flames swept through everything in their path. Under the terrifying temperature, the Hydro Pump move was directly evaporated, turning into mist.

Amid the diffuse haze, a rumble was heard, and then everything became calm.

When the white mist dispersed, Feraligatr's body was already sunk into the protective wall behind it, having lost the ability to battle.

With just the Flamethrower move, Feraligatr, which had considerable resistance to the Fire type, was instantly defeated!

Everything happened too quickly. The spectators opened their eyes wide. Just from the result, the difference between the two was truly far too great.

The Magmortar on the field was definitely not a simple Quasi-Elite-level Pokémon. It was evident that it had reached a peak.

"That Pokémon resembling Piloswine and this Pokémon have far too great a difference."

"It seems this Magmortar is this challenger's ace Pokémon!"

The spectators reached a conclusion and looked back at the field. Now things were getting interesting.

Before, these spectators had watched Ethan's performance only because a Pokémon they had never seen before had appeared.

But now their ideas had already changed. They began to talk about Ethan's strength and speculate which floor of the Illusory Tower he could reach.

Boom, boom, boom!

While the spectators discussed, the battle on the field continued.

After Magmortar defeated Feraligatr, the illusory Trainer released two other Water-type Pokémon.

Without any doubt, all of them were easily defeated by a single Flamethrower attack from Magmortar.

In this 3-on-3 battle, Magmortar did not encounter the slightest obstacle.

"It seems the special training in the Fire Domain gave good results."

"Before, although Magmortar's strength was also very great, it was manifested mostly in the development of explosive flames."

"Now, relying only on the pure intensity of its flames, Magmortar's strength has also entered the ranks of peak Quasi-Elite-level Pokémon."

On the field, seeing Magmortar's excellent performance, Ethan nodded with satisfaction.

In this Champion Road challenge, his original goal was to check the strength of his Pokémon.

Now it seemed that, whether Mamoswine or Magmortar, the results of their special training were very good.

On this Champion Road, Ethan began to feel anticipation. With these six Pokémon in his hands, he did not know which floor of the Illusory Tower he could reach.

As for failing the first challenge of the Champion Road, he did not care too much.

After all, as long as he obtained enough challenge points, he could challenge the Champion Road again.

According to the statistics, he only needed to reach the eighteenth floor of the Illusory Tower to accumulate enough challenge points again.

Of course, the points obtained by successfully clearing each floor of the Illusory Tower could only be received once. One could not obtain points repeatedly to challenge the Champion Road without limit.

"Next comes the twelfth floor."

After successfully clearing the challenge, Ethan withdrew Magmortar and walked toward the twelfth floor of the Illusory Tower.

On the twelfth floor of the Illusory Tower, seeing Ethan come up, a large number of Misdreavus immediately gathered.

However, none of those Misdreavus acted impulsively. They only looked at Ethan silently.

Just at that moment, a group of Misdreavus could be seen slowly moving aside, and a Mismagius appeared in front of Ethan.

In front of Ethan, Mismagius nodded slightly, indicating that this battle would be directed by it and Ethan.

"It is an honor."

Ethan smiled slightly and closed his eyes.

Under Mismagius's illusion, he entered the illusory world.

It was still the same battlefield, but this time the floating figure on the opposite side had changed from Misdreavus to Mismagius.

"It's that Mismagius!"

"It's the only Mismagius on the twelfth floor of the Illusory Tower!"

"It seems this challenger has attracted the attention of the Misdreavus and Mismagius of the Illusory Tower."

Seeing that the one floating on the field was Mismagius, some spectators showed expressions of taking joy in another's misfortune.

Although both belonged to the twelfth floor, the illusory Trainer created by Mismagius would surely be stronger than the one created by Misdreavus.

"This is how it becomes interesting."

"I'll leave it to you again, Magmortar."

Ethan released Magmortar once again, and flames burned on the field.

Seeing this, Mismagius also began to transform, becoming a young man with a very calm appearance.

"That is... Dorian Rockwell!"

Seeing that figure, some spectators exclaimed in surprise.

Dorian, an expert in Rock-type Pokémon, was very famous in the Trainer circle.

And on the Champion Road, Dorian was also someone more than well known to everyone.

Because Dorian was one of the few Trainers who had reached beyond the twentieth floor of the Illusory Tower, possessing Elite-level strength.

"I didn't expect an illusion of Dorian to appear on the twelfth floor of the Illusory Tower."

"Although the Dorian created by the illusion only has Quasi-Elite level, he still cannot be underestimated."

"Now we only need to see how much of Dorian's strength this Mismagius can simulate!"

While the spectators discussed among themselves, the illusory Trainer created by Mismagius also released his Pokémon.

A Golem with an extremely robust body appeared, stepping on the ground with rumbling sounds.

"Golem!"

"Magmortar, this time let's use close combat."

Seeing that the opponent was a Rock-type Pokémon, Ethan gave the order.

Magmortar understood. It stepped on the ground, flames erupted, and it executed the move Explosive Step. With the propulsive force of the explosive flames, its figure shot out.

In just an instant, Magmortar arrived in front of Golem. Its fist, wrapped in terrifying flames, descended forcefully from above.

Boom!

A rumble sounded.

Magmortar directly used Explosive Punch, condensing and compressing the power of the flames in the cannon mouth of its hand.

After making the terrifying flames that had already been compressed explode in an instant, an astonishing destructive force immediately erupted and sent Golem directly into the ground.

Not only that, under Magmortar's terrifying Explosive Punch, cracks like a spiderweb appeared across the entire ground, and the whole field trembled, leaving those watching it completely shocked.
