Boom!
Boom!
Monferno's fist smashed into Blaze Chicken's abdomen, while Blaze Chicken's fist also smashed into Monferno's face.
The unyielding close combat made the audience swallow their saliva.
But now, it should be that Blaze Chicken is in a better state.
Monferno's eyes were already half-closed, clearly in bad shape.
"The rage is gone..." Fang Yuan's mood was heavy.
The emotion of rage had disappeared from Monferno's heart.
Or rather, Monferno was now in a semi-conscious state.
This situation was very bad, the sooner it received medical treatment, the better.
Admit defeat?
Fang Yuan didn't care about winning or losing, but seeing Monferno like this, he couldn't bring himself to admit defeat on behalf of Monferno.
Because Monferno did not want to lose, because Monferno was still fighting.
This kind of cross-tier battle was still too hard, even with the Lightning Armor and Rage, both sides had only managed to fight to a draw.
Right now... Monferno was about to lose consciousness, Fang Yuan could no longer feel any other emotions from Monferno; the current Monferno seemed to only want to prove itself when everyone didn't think well of it.
Can't lose!
Fang Yuan took a deep breath, "Monferno, don't give up, hang in there!!!"
Bang!
Monferno finally couldn't hold on and fell down.
The venue fell silent.
Fang Yuan: "..."
However, as Monferno fell, Blaze Chicken, who had been on tenterhooks, let out a sigh of relief and also collapsed to the ground.
Both Pokemon fell simultaneously...
A few seconds later, the host exclaimed, "Monferno and Blaze Chicken have fallen together, can they still muster the strength to stand up again???"
"Is it a tie, or!!" the host's voice pierced through the venue, leading the audience to look towards the two Pokemon.
Inconceivable... they had fought to this extent.
"Monferno!!"
"Blaze Chicken!!"
The host was shouting, the audience was shouting, both Trainers were shouting too.
Amidst the loud shouts, Monferno and Blaze Chicken's bodies twitched at the same time.
They... slowly stood up together.
Currently, both Monferno and Blaze Chicken felt their eyelids and bodies were very heavy; standing up was undoubtedly very difficult.
But at the moment, as long as they stood up, held on for a while, they could become the victors.
Under a strong desire to win, Monferno and Blaze Chicken slowly stood up together, but then, the sound disappeared, and the venue fell silent once more.
Blaze Chicken looked at Monferno, who was using the Bone Club as a crutch and standing steadily, rolling his eyes, and felt a sudden tightness in its chest, collapsing once again.
Why... why did Monferno fall next to the Bone Club... was that also the opponent's tactic...
"Bwoo..." In the audience seats, looking at Monferno who used the Bone Club as a crutch and struggled to stand, Eevee's mouth curled up in a smile, impressive indeed.
Choosing this Bone Club for Monferno was indeed an inspired decision.
After sighing, Eevee took out its phone and started taking pictures of Fierce Fire Monkey. Despite its bruised, swollen face and white-rolled eyes, Fierce Fire Monkey looked particularly handsome right now, having conquered its opponent through sheer willpower.
In the phone, Eevee also captured Fang Yuan, who was showing a relieved smile.
It was a close call, but they won in the end, a result clearly no one could have predicted.
"My impression of you has changed, Fierce Fire Monkey..." Fang Yuan said with a sincere smile as he watched Fierce Fire Monkey's actions, noticing it had developed its own style, worthy of a Pokemon he had trained.
Blaze Chicken completely fell, Zhou Jiakai was silent, and the whole arena was wordless. Meanwhile, the host and referee, a middle-aged man, announced the result of the battle.
"In this battle, the victory goes to Trainer Fang Yuan and Fierce Fire Monkey!!"
Just then, Fierce Fire Monkey's half-closed eyes began to open a little, and Evolution Light permeated its entire body.
Fierce Fire Monkey, after winning the battle, evolved.
Fang Yuan's original intent was for Fierce Fire Monkey to evolve during its battle with Blaze Chicken under the pressure of the match.
With the boost in strength from evolution, to defeat Blaze Chicken.
However, contrary to expectations, Fierce Fire Monkey did not evolve according to Fang Yuan's original plan.
After a grueling battle, Fierce Fire Monkey had won by relying on its willpower.
"Evolution, huh..."
Having just lost the match and with mixed emotions in his heart, Zhou Jiakai looked at Fang Yuan, who was several years younger than him, and then at Fierce Fire Monkey, speechless. They had won, and yet they were still flaunting their victory, provoking them...
The audience, immersed in the aftermath of the battle and yet to calm down, also showed surprised expressions upon seeing the Evolution Light on Fierce Fire Monkey.
Fierce Fire Monkey, evolved.
"Incredible!!! Trainer Fang Yuan's Fierce Fire Monkey has evolved after struggling to defeat its opponent!!" The host too acknowledged the rarity of such a situation, speaking with intense emotion, especially since Fierce Fire Monkey seemed to lack even the strength to stand now.
Evolving in this state was truly unbelievable.
"Bwoo!!!!" With the Evolution Light spreading through its entire body, Fierce Fire Monkey reopened its eyes and let out a mighty cry to the sky.
Boom!!
Intense golden currents and scorching dark red flames enveloped Fierce Fire Monkey's body in the Evolution Light. The Pokemon, which had been completely drained of energy and physical strength, erupted with an astonishing aura under the stimulation of evolution.
Under the gaze of thousands, the form of Fierce Fire Monkey began to change gradually.
Soon, its height started to increase, stopping only after a growth of one and a half times, a rare proportion of growth for Fierce Fire Monkey.
Finally, as the Evolution Light dissipated, the figure of Monferno, standing about 1.7 meters tall, appeared.
Compared to Fierce Fire Monkey, Monferno's tail flame had disappeared. In its place was a long-burning flame atop its head.
Monferno's body was predominantly reddish-brown, with white fluff growing on its head, chest, and lower legs. Its shoulders, chest, the back of its hands, and knees bore spiral-shaped golden scales. Like Fierce Fire Monkey, the facial markings above Monferno's face were retained, but had changed from blue to red, becoming even more formidable.
Its eyes were spirited, with blue irises set in yellow sclera, exuding sheer Haki.
Its limbs were long, fingers and toes colored blue, and deep red flames wrapped around its hands and feet, making it look imposing.
At that moment, golden currents and deep crimson flames still played around Monferno's body, with thunder and flame intertwining to reveal the full image of Monferno to everyone present.
Seeing this special Monferno, the reporters frantically clicked their cameras.
In this regard, Eevee was not to be outdone, capturing this heart-stopping moment.
As one of the few dashing moments for Monferno, Eevee intended to print out this photo and sell it to Monferno for a high price.
"Congratulations..." Fang Yuan was about to step forward to congratulate Monferno, but in the next moment, Monferno's spirited eyes closed again.
Bang!!
Monferno fell unconscious, collapsing backward onto the ground, its hands unable to even grip the Bone Club any longer, completely losing its combat capabilities.
Even evolution couldn't reenergize it, it seemed that Fierce Fire Monkey had truly given its all in the fight.
At the same time, the audience began to applaud for the battle, a spectacular competition that was no less exciting than any that had come before.
