TYRAN!
Wild roars echoed through the mountains.
The Tyranitar King and Diancie, who had been fighting, couldn't help but stop their battle.
Before Diancie could react, a dark and majestic Lugia landed in front of her. There was an equally impressive young man on Lugia's back.
The young man's eyes swept over her form and he said immediately, "Stand back and leave this to me."
Although Diancie didn't know who this person was, since someone was willing to help her fight the terrifying Tyranitar in the distance, she was naturally very grateful.
"Thank you~" Diancie grabbed the hem of her dress and curtsied like a dancer taking a bow.
John didn't respond, but turned around and gave Diancie a confident nod.
Ahead, the battle between Tyranitar and Tyranitar was about to begin.
As usual, John didn't intervene directly, but MEGA evolution was essential.
John's Totem Tyranitar completed MEGA evolution the moment it appeared, transforming into an even more ferocious and massive Mega Totem Tyranitar!
The Tyranitar King wasn't a Totem Pokemon, but individually it was comparable to one. Even so, it was still much smaller than Mega Tyranitar.
Looking at this fellow who was bigger and radiating powerful dark energy, the Tyranitar King hesitated slightly and didn't attack first, wanting to understand the newcomer's intentions.
However, while the Tyranitar King didn't take initiative, John's Mega Tyranitar wouldn't wait or hesitate.
The earth shook as spreading shock waves enveloped the entire area.
This was the Ground-type move Earthquake!
As a Rock-type Pokemon, Tyranitar took double damage from Earthquake.
Therefore, this battle had to be decided quickly.
John couldn't figure out why Tyranitar, obviously a Rock-type Pokemon, had a domain like a Ground-type.
TYRAN!
Mega Tyranitar roared to the sky, and a massive portal immediately opened above them.
Countless rocks fell from it, raining down on the Tyranitar King.
This was Stone Edge!
Seeing its own species take the initiative to attack, as a "King," this was a challenge to its authority and throne.
TYRANITAR!!!
The Tyranitar King roared and rushed toward Mega Tyranitar.
Body Slam!
As a large and slow Pokemon, Tyranitar didn't know what dodging meant, the only way to fight was head-on collision.
Ignoring the rocks constantly falling from above, it simply used its body to tank them.
Although Tyranitar was also a Rock-type Pokemon, it didn't have resistance to Rock-type moves. Against Mega Tyranitar's mastery of Rock-type attacks, the heavy stone rain was enough to inflict serious damage.
Mega Tyranitar also immediately rushed toward the Tyranitar King, using the exact same move, Body Slam!
Soon, the two behemoths collided!
CLANG!
The sound of heavy collision resounded through the mountains, like two massive bells or chariots crashing head-on.
The earth shook.
There was no stalemate as expected. In just one moment, the Tyranitar King was pushed back dozens of steps and finally sat down hard on the ground.
Victory decided!
In terms of pure power, it was significantly inferior to John's Mega Tyranitar!
But in reality, the Tyranitar King's actual strength might be stronger than Tyranitar under normal conditions. This result was entirely due to John's Tyranitar's MEGA evolution and the "Strength Training" technique it had mastered.
Even though Tyranitar was reluctant and had no natural technical talent, John had supervised it to fully master the most basic "Strength Training" skill that brought the greatest combat increase.
Now it seemed the results were remarkable!
After knocking down the Tyranitar King with one blow, Mega Tyranitar immediately pressed its advantage.
Heavy tank mode activated!
Boom, boom, boom!
Mega Tyranitar came to the Tyranitar King, raised its claws, and pressed down hard.
Focus Blast!
A bright, dazzling energy sphere appeared in Mega Tyranitar's palm and was pressed hard into the Tyranitar King's chest, light bursting out!
Focus Blast, the ultimate Fighting-type move with power reaching 120.
For Tyranitar, which had both Rock and Dark typing, this was a devastating four-times-effective attack!
This move would be extremely difficult for Tyranitar to learn naturally.
But John had TMs, and Focus Blast was the strongest Fighting-type move he could buy that was within Tyranitar's learning range.
John had originally thought it would be useless for Tyranitar to learn this move. He'd just figured that if it didn't learn it, that would be the real waste. Since he wasn't short on money, he'd had Tyranitar learn it anyway.
Unexpectedly, it proved crucial during this "Battle of Kings."
The Tyranitar King, suffering heavy damage repeatedly, glared with wide-open eyes.
'Traitor! How could you use such a devastating technique against our own kind!'
Focus Blast wasn't the end. Mega Tyranitar's mastery of Focus Blast was only basic level.
But the damage was explosive!
One blow, then another, like war drums beating on a fortress tower.
TYRANITAR!
Feeling the surge in its own power, Mega Tyranitar roared to the sky in excitement.
Mega Tyranitar's eyes flashed with fierce light, its aura becoming more violent and manic. Seeing that the Tyranitar King hadn't lost its fighting ability, it immediately leaned forward for another punch, then another.
A golden crown condensed on the fallen King's body and quickly flew into Mega Tyranitar.
After a minute, Mega Tyranitar stopped its assault.
Boom!
In the sunken earth, the Tyranitar King had lost its ability to fight.
Just as John had suspected, this Tyranitar was indeed the Tyranitar King.
But what was going on? Why had the earthquake frequency suddenly doubled?
The defeated King didn't have a chance to understand. It had tried to stand up but was immediately blasted back to the ground. Along with its spreading earthquake shock waves, there was a brief pause and then silence.
However, even normal attacks, combined with Mega Tyranitar's terrifying physical attack power and the blessing of its massive frame, were more than enough to finish the job.
