"Don't worry, I know you, so there won't be any underestimation." Natsuhiko said with a smile.
If Dan Emperor swept across the Kanto Region because he wasn't very famous, and he caused a huge stir there,
then by the time he entered the Hoenn Region, some Dojo Leaders should already know of him, and would no longer treat Dan Emperor as a regular Initial Trainer.
Even so, Dan Emperor still won all eight badges and smoothly obtained the championship, showcasing his outstanding strength.
Moreover, Natsuhiko knows what heights Dan Emperor will reach in the future, so he could certainly not underestimate him.
Besides.
Natsuhiko, although borrowed Hilona's Quasi-God Pokémon Garchomp,
he is after all not Hilona, and the coordination between him and Garchomp is virtually zero.
Even if Natsuhiko uses Telepathy with his psychic abilities to a certain extent to compensate for these deficiencies,
it still cannot reach the level of coordination between Hilona and Garchomp.
Unable to fully unleash Garchomp's full potential.
Under such circumstances.
How could Natsuhiko not be serious.
"Thank you very much then!" Dan Emperor politely placed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly.
"Let's begin then."
Saying this, Natsuhiko squeezed the Pokeball in his hand and threw it out.
The red light flickered.
Boom!!
A huge cloud of dust rose.
"Roar——!!"
Covered in hard purple scales, filled with serrations all over, with scythe-like arms, the fierce Garchomp made a strong entrance!
A dragon roar mixed with a terrifying momentum.
Quasi-God Pokémon.
When it evolves to its final form, it is a symbol of strength.
Hilona's Garchomp is naturally excellently trained without a doubt.
Now it's about how much of its power Natsuhiko can utilize.
Garchomp looked back at Natsuhiko, letting two streams of white smoke escape its nostrils.
Garchomp was familiar with Natsuhiko, after all, they had fought together before.
However, he is not Hilona, not its Trainer, Garchomp held a certain degree of skepticism towards Natsuhiko's ability to command it.
But it also did not want to disobey Hilona's orders.
Just hoped Natsuhiko could let it perform normally.
Otherwise...
Garchomp couldn't guarantee it would completely obey Natsuhiko.
Seeing Garchomp appear, there was quite a stir in the audience.
Some were astonished at Garchomp's ferocity, some were surprised that Natsuhiko just started a Dragon Dojo and already had a Quasi-God Pokémon, and some had already discerned a clue from Garchomp's appearance.
"I wonder if Senior Natsuhiko can command Hilona's Garchomp." Kona said while adjusting her glasses.
"Natsuhiko will be fine."
Hilona hadn't spoken yet, but Lance spoke first.
He had 100% confidence in Natsuhiko's ability.
"Actually, the key to this battle, I think, is not whether Garchomp can defeat the opponent, but whether Natsuhiko can utilize several parts of Garchomp's strength." Flint said.
Hilona took a deep look at Garchomp on the field, then at Natsuhiko, who was calm and confident.
Seeing her Pokémon in action under someone else's command, this feeling was quite novel.
But Hilona still nodded in agreement, "Natsuhiko knows Garchomp, it will be fine."
On the other side.
Seeing the appearance of Garchomp, Dan Emperor's eyes lit up.
He had heard of Sinnoh Region's Quasi-God Pokémon long ago, and today was his first time witnessing it.
"Seems Mr. Natsuhiko is truly serious, so we can't fall behind, right, partner?"
Saying this, Dan Emperor also threw out his Pokeball.
"Roar——!!"
A roar that wasn't too inferior to Garchomp's, accompanied by high temperatures as it appeared, with two streams of hot flames emerging from its nostrils, came Dan Emperor's ace, his Initial Pokémon.
Charizard!
Garchomp VS Charizard!
Both Garchomp and Charizard felt considerable pressure from each other.
When the gazes of the two Pokémon crossed in the air, the tension instantly intensified.
"It truly is a Gym Leader Level Charizard, huh?" Natsuhiko nodded to himself.
Feeling relieved for not underestimating Dan Emperor.
"Garchomp, give me one minute of your time, after that you can decide whether or not to continue following my commands, but for this one minute, please listen to what I say." Natsuhiko whispered to the Garchomp in front of him.
Phew——
Once again, two streams of white smoke emitted from Garchomp's nostrils as it nodded heavily.
One minute was just right.
If after one minute Natsuhiko's abilities don't satisfy it, facing such a strong opponent, Garchomp would take matters into its own hands.
"Begin the battle!"
Once the referee confirmed both parties were ready, he quickly waved the flag in his hand.
"Charizard, Dragon Dance!" As the challenger, Dan Emperor issued the first command.
Charizard began to flash with a blue-purple shadow, as its body moved swiftly, Charizard's aura began to rise quickly.
"Sword Dance!"
Natsuhiko's command was belated, but his tone was steady and calm.
Garchomp was not slow.
In terms of speed alone, comparing with Charizard, before any amplification, Garchomp had a slight advantage.
"Roar——!!"
With a low roar, Garchomp's body glowed with a dark red halo, an upward air current like blades encircling it.
