"Tyranitar, Mega Evolution!"
"Dynamax!"
The opponent had already opened fire, there was no need for him to hold back anymore.
Time to meet force with force!
Mega Tyranitar was Tyranitar's most ferocious form. The once-smooth armor had transformed into menacing spikes, and a cold, grimacing face had emerged on its chest. Whether Pokemon or humans saw it, they were already intimidated before the battle even began.
And if this terrifying image was further enlarged...
It was like a Pokemon version of Godzilla! Whether in terms of destructive power or appearance, the comparison was well-deserved.
Mega Glalie, which had originally looked terrifying, now seemed almost pleasant to the eye compared to Mega Tyranitar.
"A giant Mega Tyranitar? Isn't John's trump card a bit too much?" Sidney's body trembled slightly.
He'd thought Mega Blaziken was John's trump card, then came Mega Gengar.
He'd assumed John only had two trump card Pokemon, but now there was a Mega Tyranitar.
"So... John has three trump card Pokemon?"
"Is there a possibility that every main Pokemon on John's team has the strength of your trump card Pokemon?" Phoebe quietly interjected.
"No, every main Pokemon on John's team is stronger than your trump card Pokemon."
"That hurts, old woman," Sidney clutched his chest dramatically.
On the battlefield, Glacia looked up at Mega Tyranitar, and she had to admit she'd still underestimated John a little.
She'd thought John would use his fire-type Blaziken to counter her ice-types with double effectiveness.
She'd never imagined there was another Tyranitar that could both Dynamax and undergo Mega Evolution.
Now, she was extremely grateful for her decision to only battle once. Otherwise, even if she managed to defeat Mega Tyranitar, there would still be that terrifying Blaziken to face.
What's more... she really might not be able to defeat Mega Tyranitar.
"Glalie, Snow Warning!" Glacia commanded.
Countering Sandstorm weather was crucial against Tyranitar.
In Sandstorm weather, Tyranitar's special defense increased by 50%. Although Glalie used both special and physical attacks, how many Pokemon dared to fight hand-to-hand with a Tyranitar that had completed Mega Evolution?
"Hoooo!" Mega Glalie snarled, its dry, hoarse voice like an old man shouting loudly.
Heavy snow began falling from the sky, covering the battlefield that had been shrouded in yellow sand.
Glacia was quite confident about her Glalie's ability to control the weather... wasn't she?
But Glacia wasn't finished yet. The flying snow was suddenly caught and worn away by the wild sand swirling through the air. The cold, low-temperature ice and snow weren't as tough and enduring as imagined. It took only a few breaths before everything disappeared, and even the dark clouds were swept away, leaving only the oppressive and violent khaki sandstorm.
Where was there any ice and snow?
Glalie wanted to compete with Tyranitar for weather control.
Ridiculous.
"Tyranitar, end it."
"Z-move, Continental Crush!" John declared. While Glacia was trying to control the weather, he directly pulled out his Z-Crystal.
Sorry, but trying to compete with my Tyranitar for weather control is nothing but wishful thinking.
There was no need to lay groundwork. As a Tyranitar famous for its destructive power, let's end the battle in the simplest and most direct way.
"Roar, the beating of life!"
"Through sky and earth, let the rock vibrate!"
Reciting his dramatic lines and striking a commanding pose, ugly yellow power shot out from John's body and landed on Mega Tyranitar.
"TYRAN!!!"
Mega Tyranitar roared in fury, the sound of rage echoing throughout the battlefield. Even Drake, who was waiting in the fourth chamber, heard it.
Watching the scene on the monitor, Drake fell silent.
The old captain's hand holding his cigarette trembled slightly.
Is this the "monster" I'm going to confront?
The battlefield had entered "extreme daylight."
The sky turned into pitch-black chaos, blocked by a giant rock sphere that covered everything above.
Continental Crush?
John preferred to call it "Planetary Devastation", he'd used it with Aggron last time.
And compared to Aggron, big brother Tyranitar was stronger!
Not to mention Mega Tyranitar under Dynamax. The Planetary Devastation was also dynamaxed.
If this were real, this Continental Crush could genuinely destroy a city!
No wonder, this was Dynamax plus Mega Evolution plus Z-moves, the absolute strength of three forces combined! The user was the pseudo-legendary Pokemon Tyranitar, and its destructive power could definitely be ranked in the top three among non-legendary Pokemon.
Plus, John also had a Hard Stone that boosted Rock-type Pokemon's stats by 25%...
Now, in the arena where the size was restricted, Mega Tyranitar compressed and condensed the terrifying volume, so that the Planetary Devastation, which could have covered an entire city, was compressed to only cover the entire arena, making its power even higher.
The eyeballs of the three Elite Four members present were about to pop out.
Sidney and Phoebe quickly retreated to the player area and sent out Pokemon to defend. They had reason to suspect that standing in the audience would also be affected. As for the referee, he had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Glalie, use Ice Shelter!" Glacia commanded loudly.
This was the dynamax move "Max Guard" based on "Protect."
"Huh!!" Mega Glalie snarled.
Immediately, white ice crystals were swept around its body by the gust of wind, quickly condensing into a blizzard that dyed the originally transparent "Max Guard" above its head into a solid ice defensive wall.
It was as if an ice fortress had been erected on the ground.
Glacia named it "Ice Shelter."
But could it hold off Mega Tyranitar's "Planetary Devastation"?
The results came soon.
The rock that covered the entire battlefield fell, and the scene was like a broken mountain with the sky collapsing.
The rest was subsidence.
BOOM!
The world shook.
As for the result, John already knew, the Planetary Devastation was firmly embedded in the ground, even deeply sunken into it, which showed that the Ice Shelter hadn't held.
Waiting for the rock to be pulled away by Mega Tyranitar revealed Glalie, who had been knocked out of both Dynamax and Mega Evolution.
"Glalie is unable to battle, Tyranitar wins!" The referee, who had appeared out of nowhere, announced the final result of the duel.
