Chapter 587: Evolution in a Morning, Instantly Becoming an Alpha
The white light dispersed.
The over five-meter-tall flaming red giant dragon stretched his wings with a wingspan of over ten meters and let out a long sigh.
With just a casual breath.
Streams of scorching flames flowed from his mouth.
Kazuya lowered his head and scanned the dragons below.
He saw their bodies tremble, and they all involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to meet those majestic golden pupils.
Then.
Kazuya astonishingly discovered that his perspective was constantly rising.
The Bastiodons and Hakamo-o below were all getting smaller.
"Roar! Roar!"
Charmeleon was incredibly excited on the side, spinning around him.
Kazuya also understood at this moment.
He had obtained the [Alpha] designation.
He didn't even need to fight the two patriarchs to prove his strength; just by evolving into a Charizard, he gained the recognition of the entire clan.
'Panel.'
Seeing the height and weight on the panel, Kazuya couldn't help but widen his eyes.
32 tons.
(PS: Calculated data.)
Without using moves.
Just relying on weight alone, he could crush some weak Pokémon.
A height of 12 meters went without saying.
Now, even if the Alpha Rampardos stood in front of him, it would have to look up at Kazuya.
Even though Kazuya's level was actually not high.
But with this height placed here.
No Pokémon would think he was weak upon seeing him.
It could be said.
Just by Kazuya standing there, few Pokémon would dare to make a move to measure his true strength.
'The energy in my body is very exaggerated.'
Kazuya patted his stomach.
Then he raised a claw and scratched his throat.
He always felt his body was full of attribute energy; if he didn't vent it a bit, he felt somewhat stifled.
Aside from the abundant Fire-type and Dragon-type energy, there was also the Flying-type energy generated along with the evolution.
Sufficient Flying-type energy.
Allowed Kazuya to recall all the Flying-type moves he had mastered when he was a Dragonite in his second life.
"Phew, next is to cultivate the energy of other attributes and expand my coverage."
Kazuya raised his arms and stretched.
Because he didn't have the corresponding attribute energy in his body.
Not to mention the Sea Crown, Kazuya couldn't even use Hydro Pump and Ice Punch right now.
Wasting the inherited moves from his previous lives.
But this wouldn't stump him.
Cultivating these types of attribute energy was very simple for him; it wasn't the kind of difficulty from 0 to 1.
"Bastio?"
The Bastiodon patriarch stepped forward, straining to look up.
Kazuya was too tall and big.
Standing there.
His shadow could completely envelop the over four-meter-tall Bastiodon patriarch.
The Bastiodon patriarch was only one-third of his height.
"We act today. I reckon the Rampardos won't dare to come again in the short term; we will take the initiative to attack."
Kazuya extended two fingers and sharpened his claws, making a decision.
What he was waiting for was the moment of his evolution.
There was no need to keep waiting.
He had the confidence to defeat the Alpha Rampardos.
Not to mention the Alpha Rampardos' rough combat style.
Even with its Lv. 45 level, it was only 7 levels higher than Kazuya.
What created a huge gap between the two sides was the [Alpha] designation.
Right now, Kazuya also had this designation.
His physical quality and internal energy had both been greatly strengthened.
There was nothing left to worry about.
At this time.
Kazuya turned his head to look beside his leg.
Brother-kun was hugging his thigh and drooling.
Kazuya reached out and flicked brother-kun away.
He knew.
Seeing him looking so cool, brother-kun also wanted to evolve into a Charizard.
But this matter was still far off.
How could Charmeleon's leveling speed catch up with Kazuya's?
Even with Kazuya's help, if he wanted to evolve, he would still need at least half a month to settle.
"Haka."
The Hakamo-o patriarch stepped forward.
The way he looked at Kazuya was completely different from before.
In the past, Hakamo-o.
Always had a glimmer full of fighting intent in his eyes.
He wanted to fight Kazuya at every moment to improve his strength and learn more powerful combat techniques, but at this moment, that glimmer was gone.
Hakamo-o completely didn't want to challenge Kazuya.
It wasn't that he didn't want to become stronger.
Or didn't dare to challenge.
Rather, he knew his place.
The boss of a clan cannot be challenged casually.
Unless a member wanted to take over the boss's position, thereby initiating an irrevocable challenge where the loser was doomed to scram or even die.
This wasn't the rule of the Hakamo-o clan, but the law of the entire Pokémon world.
Hakamo-o subconsciously realized this point, so he would no longer randomly challenge Kazuya.
That would be an action detrimental to the boss's dignity.
"Mm, let's set off."
Kazuya nodded slightly.
To prevent other Pokémon from attacking their rear, they brought all the Shieldon-kuns and Jangmo-o-kuns along.
Not leaving a single cub at home.
If the territory is gone, it can be snatched back.
If the cubs are gone, they can't be brought back to life.
With the breeding speed of the Bastiodons and Hakamo-o, it would be tough to even have two or three newborns in a year.
So the cubs must all be brought along.
They must constantly stand behind the Bastiodons so their safety can be guaranteed.
Now.
The offense and defense had swapped roles.
The ones taking the initiative to attack were no longer the Rampardos.
But this bizarre alliance of theirs.
When there were only a few hundred meters left from the Rampardos clan's territory.
"I will go deal with their boss; you guys just need to help me keep an eye on the other Rampardos, don't let them cause trouble or escape."
Kazuya turned his head and said to the companions beside him.
Once he beat the Alpha Rampardos to the ground.
Absorbing the Rampardos clan would be very simple.
"Bastio."
"Haka."
The Bastiodons and Hakamo-o nodded.
Making them pursue might be somewhat troublesome, but blocking the way would be very easy.
Just like how they would consider the cubs when taking action.
The Rampardos would also consider the slow-running Cranidos.
So stopping them would be a very easy task.
"Mm!"
Kazuya nodded forcefully, then flapped his wings and soared high into the sky, letting out a roar at the Rampardos clan that could already be seen.
"Roar——!!"
The wild-filled roar resounded across the entire sky.
The Rampardos were startled.
They hurriedly turned their heads to look at the horizon.
When they saw Kazuya flying from the horizon, their eyes nearly split open in shock.
Why would the overlord clan of the volcano run to the northernmost part of the grassland?!
The reputation of the Charizard clan was incredibly massive.
Even a group of reckless hotheads like the Rampardos were terrified upon hearing it.
However.
The Rampardos clan quickly calmed down.
Because there was only one Charizard flying over...
Moreover, they also saw the Hakamo-o clan running over on the ground.
As for the Bastiodons.
Their speed was relatively slow.
They hadn't run into the Rampardos' field of vision yet.
The other Rampardos might still be a bit dazed.
But the Alpha Rampardos had already reacted.
That Charizard in the sky.
Was evolved from one of the two Charmeleons in the Bastiodon clan.
Then there was nothing to be afraid of!
"Pelu!!"
The Rampardos let out a roaring challenge to Kazuya soaring in the sky.
And what answered him was a surging and sharp gale.
Invisible wind blades, like lawnmowers, leveled a large patch of grassland, and scraping against the Rampardos' bodies, they cut out shallow trails of wounds.
If it weren't for the Rampardos' level being high enough.
With their clan's Special Defense shortcoming, they would probably be dyed red with blood all over by now.
Facing Kazuya's attack.
The Alpha Rampardos truly had absolutely no countermeasures.
He couldn't hit Kazuya flying in the sky!
As said before.
The only ranged move Rampardos could learn on their own was Ancient Power.
And it could only be learned relying on the Rock typing after fossil resurrection.
The Rampardos of this era could not learn it.
They also hadn't learned Dragon Breath.
So they had completely no means.
Placed in his first or second life, Kazuya would definitely choose to kite the Alpha Rampardos to death from the sky.
Because back then it was for leveling up.
But today was different.
Today was to subjugate the Rampardos clan.
It was best to openly and fairly eliminate the Alpha Rampardos head-on with an irresistible force, so as to make the other Rampardos sincerely convinced and generate a sense of awe.
So.
Kazuya used Extreme Speed and Aerial Ace to dive down.
With astonishing momentum and swift speed, he crashed headfirst towards the Rampardos' abdomen.
The Alpha Rampardos subconsciously thrust his head forward.
But right before crashing into the Rampardos.
Kazuya stretched out his arms, hugged the Rampardos' long neck, and carried him high into the sky.
"Pelu!"
The Rampardos' feet left the ground, and he swung his body uneasily.
For their clan.
The importance of having both feet on the ground was no less than the scales on the Hakamo-o's body.
Any of their attacks required stepping on the earth with both legs to exert force.
Just like right now.
The Rampardos' feet couldn't push off the ground, causing his head to be unable to issue a powerful Headbutt, only able to watch helplessly as Kazuya carried him into the sky dozens of meters high.
When Kazuya felt he almost couldn't fly any higher.
He decisively removed all his force.
Hugging the Rampardos, he spiraled straight down, doing the most straightforward free fall.
That wasn't all.
"Roar!"
Kazuya opened his mouth and spewed out intense streams of flames.
Fire Spin!
The streams of flame enveloped Kazuya and the Rampardos, wrapping them into a giant cocoon of fire.
Finally.
Boom!
Kazuya crashed into the earth holding the Rampardos, who was dazed by the heat of the flames.
In the blink of an eye.
A rectangular conical pit with a radius of five meters and a depth of five meters was smashed into the earth!
Kazuya crawled out of the giant pit with his body trembling.
He actually didn't suffer much injury.
After all, the vast majority of the impact force was absorbed by the Rampardos' head.
His body trembled.
It was because the Rampardos was too heavy.
Carrying him into the sky dozens of meters high truly took a lot of effort.
Coupled with the fact that he did suffer a considerable impact when hitting the ground, it was completely normal for his body muscles to be unable to recover for a while.
The crucial point was.
The result was satisfying.
Charizard couldn't learn the move Seismic Toss in the games.
But Ash's Charizard in the anime indeed used this move more than once.
So.
Kazuya also tried to imitate and use Seismic Toss.
It had to be said.
It was super effective.
It fully utilized the combined weight of the two dragons, which was dozens of tons.
Dozens of tons, doing a free fall from dozens of meters high.
The resulting impact force was simply immeasurable.
To the point that the moment the Rampardos landed, it immediately suffered massive damage, fainting on the spot and completely losing its combat ability.
The powerful Alpha Rampardos.
Was harmed by its own weight just like that.
