Chapter 27 - ch-27

Spectators at the Palace Gate Stadium—

"It's Charizard!!"

"It came from Charizard Valley to save Ash!"

"Just in time!!!"

"So reliable!"

Seeing Charizard appear again at such a critical moment, the audience couldn't help but cheer.

"It's so cool!!!"

The scene continues—

[Charizard takes Ash and Pikachu back to the Crystal Tower.]

[At this moment, Charizard and Entei confront each other.]

"Who are you?!"

[The phantom Entei roars.]

"These are my companions—all the friends I've met on my journey."

[Ash's expression is unusually firm.]

"No matter how many come, it's useless," Entei says confidently. However, it senses that Charizard is stronger than the Pokémon it had previously faced.

[Immediately, Entei gathers energy and fires a dark purple energy wave.]

"Flamethrower!"

[A fierce column of flames burns brightly within the Crystal Tower, colliding with the dark purple energy wave.]

[The clash of two powerful energies creates a massive shockwave.]

[Facing Charizard, the phantom Entei's expression becomes serious.]

[Previously, all of Ash's Pokémon, including Pikachu, were unable to withstand its attacks.]

[To avoid harming Mitsumi, the phantom Entei leaps out of the Crystal Tower.]

[Charizard carries Ash and engages in an intense battle with Entei.]

[Fiery flames burn brightly.]

[Shadowy energy waves rage fiercely.]

[Charizard uses its flight advantage, continuously firing flames, causing significant trouble for the phantom Entei.]

[But this is Entei's home turf.]

[Crystal energy activates, and materialized crystals appear one after another. The phantom Entei uses these as springboards to evade attacks with incredible agility.]

"Roar—!!!"

[With another roar, Entei launches a concentrated dark purple Energy Ball, unleashing devastating power toward Ash and Charizard.]

"Dragon Rage!!!"

[A blazing fireball, trailing a gorgeous flame tail, streaks through the sky and collides with the dark purple Energy Ball.]

[A massive shockwave spreads in all directions.]

[The hard crystals shatter!]

[The intensity of the battle is breathtaking.]

Palace Gate Stadium Audience Seats—

"Oh my gosh, Charizard is amazing!"

"This strength, gained through training, can go toe-to-toe with Entei."

"Did you notice? Charizard is still carrying Ash while fighting!"

"Right! Charizard couldn't even carry Ash in the valley before, but now it's fighting Entei while carrying him. The improvement is insane!"

"Come on, Charizard!"

[The audience cheers loudly for Charizard.]

[Even the Dodrio referee nods in approval.]

"I didn't expect Charizard to improve so quickly."

"That's because of its hard work—not wanting to disappoint Ash," Cynthia says with a soft smile.

The scene continues—

[The battle between Charizard and the phantom Entei continues.]

[Blazing fire clashes with surging shadow energy.]

[The phantom Entei roars, summoning crystal energy to block attacks before launching another dark purple energy wave.]

[Charizard flaps its wings and dodges with ease, then inhales deeply.]

[A dark green beam of light bursts forth—Dragon Breath!]

[The strong impact of Dragon Breath shatters the crystal defenses.]

[Entei leaps to evade, quickly forming tall crystal structures to use as cover. It closes in on Charizard with incredible speed, launching another energy wave at close range.]

"Charizard, now's the time! Fire Spin!"

[Charizard, glowing with fiery determination, creates a massive vortex of flames.]

[The scorching flame vortex swirls around the towering crystals and engulfs the phantom Entei completely!]

[Entei roars in pain as the flames tear through its defenses.]

[The audience erupts in cheers.]

Palace Gate Stadium Audience Seats—

"It hit! The Fire Spin hit!"

"Phantom Entei doesn't have the Flash Fire ability, so this is a direct hit!"

"Charizard is amazing, fighting Entei while carrying Ash and still gaining the upper hand!"

"Charizard, you did it!"

Palace Gate Stadium Champion Guest Seats—

"Wow… incredible. It's temporarily suppressing Entei!" President Damalanchi exclaimed in surprise.

"And this isn't an ordinary Entei—it's a creation of the mysterious Pokémon Unown," Professor Oak added. "With materialized crystals, hypnotic powers, and shadow energy, it's far superior to a normal Entei."

"But Ash's Charizard, after training in Charizard Valley, can fight it head-on without being at a disadvantage. That's remarkable!"

Team Rocket Headquarters—

"No! Impossible! How did they do it?!" Executive Archer shouted in disbelief.

"The once-weak Charizard… is now fighting the phantom Entei evenly?!"

"This is absurd!"

Sinnoh Region, Veilstone City—

"Tch…" Shinji clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Even a regular Entei is a legendary Pokémon, but Ash's Charizard is actually suppressing this phantom version? That's ridiculous…"

The scene continues—

[After briefly suppressing the phantom Entei, Ash begins trying to reason with Mitsumi, urging her to reflect deeply.]

[The phantom Entei, a manifestation of Mitsumi's inner desires, should be invincible within its crystal form, with unlimited stamina.]

[However, to resolve this, Mitsumi must make the decision herself.]

[After an intense battle, Mitsumi, now regaining clarity, orders the phantom Entei to stop and pleads for the fighting to end.]

[Ash and his friends persuade Mitsumi to leave the Crystal Tower. Entei admits it was created by Unown to Role Play Mitsumi's father.]

[Convinced by their words, Mitsumi agrees to leave the mansion.]

[But just then, the Unown lose control, creating chaos and trying to trap the group inside the mansion.]

[The group flees to the hall where the Unown are concentrated. Pikachu and Charizard attempt to break the force field protecting the Unown but fail.]

[At this moment, the phantom Entei arrives. Supported by Mitsumi's belief, it successfully breaks the barrier. As it thanks Mitsumi for calling it "Dad," the phantom Entei disappears back into Mitsumi's dream.]

[The Unown return to their dimension, undoing their influence on the real world.]

[Professor Hideki is returned to the ruins where he originally disappeared.]

[The group exits the Crystal Tower and reunites with Professor Oak and Xiaoling.]

[In the end, Ash and his friends bid farewell to Xiaoling.]

[Mitsumi, now reunited with her father, receives a Teddiursa as a gift and later reunites with her mother.]

It's a standard fairy-tale ending.

Looking Ahead—

Charizard returns to Charizard Valley to continue its training.

With its strength now at an all-time high, carrying Ash while fighting legendary-level opponents like the phantom Entei, its potential seems limitless.

What feats will Charizard achieve next?

The audience can't wait to find out!
