Chapter 63: ch-63
The audience's excitement reached its peak as Ash and Professor Kukui prepared for their first Pokémon battle.
Scene Continues—
Alola Islands, Manaro Stadium.
[When powerful rivals meet, the intensity burns red hot.]
[No matter the outcome today—]
[Torracat will do its best to defeat Professor Kukui's Incineroar!]
[It will never give up until victory is secured!]
---
Ash: "Torracat, use Flame Charge!"
Professor Kukui: "Incineroar, use Bulk Up!"
[At the Alola League Stadium, Ash gave the command, and Torracat let out a determined meow.]
[The next moment, Torracat's entire body was engulfed in orange-red flames, transforming into a fiery blur as it charged at Incineroar with lightning speed.]
[Meanwhile, Incineroar's body began to glow red as it bulked up, its muscles bulging as both its attack and defense stats increased significantly.]
[The fiery collision occurred, but Torracat's full-force Flame Charge barely caused a scratch on the powerful Incineroar.]

Palace Gate Stadium: Champion Guest Seat—
"Using a fire-type move against another fire-type Pokémon halves its power," Chibana analyzed calmly.
"Flame Charge is also a speed-oriented move with low base power. Against an opponent like Incineroar, who has increased its defense with Bulk Up, it won't be very effective."
Chibana's commentary was spot-on. From his perspective, Incineroar's overwhelming strength made it difficult for Torracat to gain any meaningful advantage.
Chibana: "For Ash to have a real chance at victory, Torracat must evolve. Unevolved Pokémon are at a significant disadvantage against their evolved counterparts."

On the Field—
Ash: "Torracat, use Flame Charge again!"
[The flames surged again, and Torracat dashed toward Incineroar even faster than before.]
[Ash seemed to be employing a strategy similar to when Pikachu defeated Lt. Surge's Raichu at Vermilion Gym—using superior speed to outmaneuver the opponent.]
[However, Kukui remained unfazed.]
Professor Kukui: "Incineroar, use Darkest Lariat!"
[Incineroar spun its massive, flame-covered arms with devastating force, aiming for the oncoming Torracat.]
[Torracat's quick reflexes allowed it to dodge at the last second, but the attack narrowly missed.]
Ash: "Torracat, use Revenge now!"
[Torracat's body glowed with fighting-type energy as it charged at Incineroar.]
[But just as Torracat closed in, Incineroar swiftly dodged and countered with Throat Chop, a dark-type move that landed squarely on Torracat's midsection.]
[Torracat was sent tumbling across the field, finally coming to a stop at the edge of the stadium.]

Palace Gate Stadium Audience—
"Wow! Incineroar is so powerful!"
"That strength could rival Bruno's Machamp from the Kanto Elite Four!"
"Torracat doesn't stand a chance unless it evolves. The gap is just too big!"
---
Despite the devastating hit, Torracat rose to its feet, its eyes burning with determination. Its unyielding spirit mirrored Ash's resolve.
Ash: "Torracat, Fire Blast!"
Professor Kukui: "Incineroar, Blast Burn!"
[Both trainers commanded their Pokémon to unleash two of the most powerful fire-type moves.]
[On the field, Torracat's flame bell produced a fiery "大"-shaped blast of energy, while Incineroar's flame belt glowed with intense heat before erupting into a blazing inferno.]
[The two attacks clashed in a fiery explosion that sent waves of heat across the stadium, illuminating the entire battlefield.]
[The flames burned so brightly that the audience could feel the heat from their seats.]
[When the smoke cleared, both moves had neutralized each other, resulting in no damage to either Pokémon.]
---
Ash: "Torracat, return. It's your turn, Lycanroc!"
[Ash recalled Torracat, knowing it couldn't take on Incineroar head-on. He threw another Poké Ball, and out emerged a wolf-like Pokémon with orange-yellow fur and striking green eyes.]
---
Alola School—
Kiawe: "Wait… What kind of Lycanroc is that? I've never seen anything like it!"
[As Kiawe scanned his Rotom Pokédex, it displayed the three known forms of Lycanroc: Midday, Midnight, and Dusk.]
[The Midday Form had light brown fur, blue eyes, and sharp rock-like protrusions around its neck.]
[The Midnight Form had red fur, blood-red eyes, and a more menacing posture, standing on two legs.]
[But Ash's Lycanroc was different—it had orange-yellow fur, green eyes, and traits that seemed to combine features of both the Midday and Midnight Forms.]
---
Palace Gate Stadium—
[The audience and even the champion trainers were puzzled by the unusual Lycanroc. However, it was Professor Kukui, a local expert, who recognized its uniqueness.]
Professor Kukui: "My goodness… Your Lycanroc… It's a Dusk Form! It must have evolved during the rare 'Green Flash' sunset unique to the Alola Region!"
[The audience gasped in amazement. Ash's Lycanroc wasn't just rare—it was a phenomenon!]
Professor Kukui (to himself): "Ash… You never cease to surprise me. Let's see what this Lycanroc can do!"

The battle intensified as Ash's rare Lycanroc prepared to face off against Incineroar, setting the stage
