The remaining Charizards, from weak to strong, came to challenge Ash's Charizard. In fact, those powerful Charizards actually wanted to fight Ash's Charizard earlier. They didn't want to take advantage of Ash's Charizard's exhaustion but wanted to battle him at his fullest state.
But there's no way around it. That's just how the rules go normally. While there's no need for rules during the big brawls earlier on, later, the stronger the Charizard, the later it comes out.
So, the next battle featured an Elite Advanced Level Charizard. This level of Charizard already exceeds the Level of Ash's Charizard without MEGA Evolution. However, in terms of Ability Value, Ash's Charizard without MEGA Evolution is still superior to that Charizard.
But that was previous Charizard; Ash's Charizard has already become stronger now!
After consecutively defeating over two hundred Charizards, even though most were taken out in seconds and were lower in Level compared to Ash's Charizard, these Charizards still provided considerable experience for Ash's Charizard,
and now Ash's Charizard is no longer at the Mid-Elite Level, but— Elite Advanced Level!
The Level upgrade also restored some of Ash's Charizard's Physical Strength. Although his current Physical Strength is not as good as at his peak, it's still over a third remaining.
Moreover, with the Level upgrade, the battles are becoming more effortless.
In the face of a Charizard of the same Level, even without Ash's Aura Power enhancement, he is confident to take it down within three minutes!
However, what he's facing now isn't just one Elite Advanced Level Charizard, but a total of seven Charizards registered above Elite Advanced Level. If relying solely on his power to battle, even if he wins in the end, he might not have the strength to face that strongest Charizard.
So, there must be…
'The Aura is with my heart!' Ash's Aura Power surged into Charizard's body once again. This time, there's no need to retract the Aura Power because these Charizards are the last battle. As long as he defeats them, he can meet the strongest Charizard.
"Roar!" That Elite Advanced Level Charizard let out a roar as its wings swung sharply, sending multiple pale white blades of light toward Ash's Charizard. This is a Flying Type Move, Air Cutter!
Facing the densely packed blades, Ash's Charizard still opted to use that most commonly used move— Dragon Claw!
Emerald green sharp claws extended from both hands, then Ash's Charizard flapped his wings, his silhouette rushing out like a black lightning bolt, and the emerald green Dragon Claw cleaved through the Air Cutters in its flight path!
This violent approach nearly instantaneously brought Ash's Charizard in front of the Elite Charizard, slashing down with a Dragon Claw!
The sound of flesh being torn echoed, and the Elite Charizard that just took the field arrogantly collapsed just like that.
Still a one-hit kill, no different from the initial Charizard.
Except when facing some speed-type Charizards that took a bit more time, other Charizards were basically defeated with one move. Even when it comes to Elite Level, it's no exception.
After all, Ash's Charizard, bolstered by Aura Power, has almost reached Champion Peak level!
Don't even mention Elite Advanced Level; even Elite Peak can't withstand a Dragon Claw from Charizard now.
If this trial wasn't a gauntlet match but a group battle, Ash and his Charizard could unleash their full power and settle the battle within ten minutes.
In the face of absolute numbers, all tactics and numbers are in vain. No matter how varied, it's not as good as my one Dragon Claw!
But perhaps the Charicific Valley side considered this situation and thus did not choose to make the trial a group brawl but a gauntlet match instead.
No matter how powerful you are, releasing moves will inevitably consume Physical Strength to a minimum. Consecutive skills use will surely wear you out, even if you're a champion-level Pokemon.
This kind of battle is actually much more unfair than the championship challenge over at the League. After all, in a championship challenge, you can switch out to other Pokemon. Even if you have six exhausted Pokemon, you can switch in another six for the next battle.
In other words, as long as your Pokemon reserves are enough, there's no facing a gauntlet situation.
But the trial at Charicific Valley isn't the same; here, you really have to rely on one Pokemon to clear it!
For a Pokemon's Physical Strength, willpower, and strength, it's a massive test.
After the Elite Advanced Level Charizard was one-shot, subsequent Charizards also came up one after the other to challenge, but unsurprisingly, they were all knocked out in succession by Ash's Charizard.
It wasn't until the Champion Junior Level Charizard took the field that it barely manages to exchange a few moves with Ash's Charizard. It's the strongest Charizard apart from the Charizard residing in the valley, not one housed here by any Trainer but one that grew up in Charicific Valley natively.
The talent and abilities are imaginable.
But in front of Ash's Charizard, it's still somewhat inadequate. In just three minutes, it collapsed, unable to rise again.
Thus, all the Charizard in Charicific Valley were knocked out by Ash's Charizard, except for Liza's Charizard Little Liza.
Little Liza wasn't sidelined because Liza was favoritistic and didn't want her to get hurt, but because Little Liza took on the job of carrying the fainted Charizards.
