Lol, how is bro gonna win the tourney?

 

[es_kan]

These are all characters i've beat up without a second thought in my playthroughs. Seeing them hyped up like this is absolutely peak.

 

[elroid]

That subtle jab on indian elephant lol.

I love that Xatu air slash moment and also those marowak expressions and the Z move page in the end

 

[KurABOBA]

This shit is so peak, i can almost forgive the fact that chapters are yearly

Agatha flipping off Oak was pure cinema

Few cool things I noticed:
1. I almost thought Agatha was stupid, using ground type bonemerang into Xatu, but it was actually shadow bone which was super effective. It’s not meant to pass through stuff unlike a certain protect-bypassing urshifu, but this is a manga so it gets a pass. (Pun not intended)

2. Claire’s Kingdra knows Scale Shot despite this manga starting from before Scale Shot was even invented (i think), which means the artist is actually keeing up with recent Pokemon games and adding new stuff accordingly, which is fucking amazing.

3. I like to think that Claire knew about multiscale on dragonite because she went for scale shot before the 4x super effective ice beam, unless Lance’s dragonite doesnt have multiscale.

4. Just when i thought peak art couldn’t be topped from previous chapters, the mangaka hit us with scaled kingdra, dragonite and hyper realistic alolan marowak. Year long waits between chapters are justified because of this

every time i see a new chapter of this show up on my feed it feels like christmas. this one is made even better because i pulled a full art card right before seeing this chapter show up. peak pokemon energy rn

also loving dragonite's rendition here

 

[Acrelorraine]

Absolutely peak. Seeing classic characters use new techniques and these prequel plot points are just full on awesome. These Pokemon are absolutely terrifying and you can absolutely understand why everyone in historic times were wary. Even Xatu, man. How do you make Xatu look cool?

 

[Erbakhan]

Peak

 

[Omniracle]

Peak is back on the menu, boys.

 

[ItsTikki]

Dragonite in any other media: Cute, big and fluffy dragon, very docile looking, absolutely harmless


Dragonite in Festival of Champions: Fucking Dark Souls boss that 1hit KO you

Holee Shite! I love the Pokèmon Adventures manga, but this...

This is the Mount Olympus Peak!

 

[cromat]

is that a mistranlation early on? pikachu shakes his head when ash asks if he wants to evolve into a raichu, then says i see u want to become a super awesome raichu who will beat him up! is it supposed to say super awesome pikachu?

 

[hlben10]

I guess Red's getting Gigantamax somehow then? Otherwise how does he convincingly become champion?
I love all the extra mechanics (Mega Evolve and Z moves) added to this tournament btw. It just makes sense for the world of Pokemon that they already exist during this time.

 

[solchimes]

Thank you for the translation! I have to point out that there were a couple of empty bubbles and spelling mistakes though :')

 

[Oberon-056]

I can guess why she flipped him off.

The OG Japanese version likely had Oak call her a "Gorilla".

 

[Oberon-056]

Interestingly enough, we can see Ash's eyes seemingly glowing when he understands his Pokemon... Which may imply he had Aura Potential.

I get the feeling he will have a LOT of Lucario and Riolus being VERY interested in him.

Also, I LOVE how Dragonite is portrayed here. Rather than the Overly Cutesy tiny wings on the back, we get Charizard sized wings that, while still Small COMPARED to Dragonite, are CLEARLY able to allow it to FLY.

Adding to that, this Manga REMEMBERS Dragonite Lore, that at Cruising Speed, a Dragonite can circle the planet Three times in the span of a few Hours... Extreme Speed on a Dragonite would be so fast, that in the time it takes to BLINK, Dragonite could cross a fifty foot gap and be bashing your face in!

I mean, it Clearly shows that outside of Battle, Dragonite would be a Goofy Goober (Especially the part where while using Barrier, Dragonite is seen to be casually scratching it's chin as if saying "Hey, did you get that itch?")... But IN battle? Dragonite is TERRIFYING.

Should we get to see MEGA Dragonite in this, I hope Dragonite will actually have TWO Sets of Angel Wings... Or if we go full force with it? THREE Sets of Angel Wings, giving it a Dragonic Archangel look.
