Noticing the change in their expressions.
Aoki smiled, "Kommo-o, it seems they don't recognize you. Show them your strength and broaden their horizons!"
Hearing Aoki's words, Kommo-o narrowed its eyes and exhaled two thick breaths from its nostrils.
Steven only reacted at this moment, "Aoki, this… Pokémon is, Kommo-o? Never seen one before, a Dragon-type Pokémon?"
Given Steven's family's conditions and circumstances, he believed that there were very few Pokémon he had discovered that he didn't recognize.
But this Kommo-o was something he had never seen before, and it was also the first time he had ever heard of this name.
Aoki glanced at Steven, who was still a little confused, and explained, "Kommo-o, a Dragon-type and Fighting-type Pokémon, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon!
Although I caught this Kommo-o, we are more of a cooperative relationship. I can't command it to fight, so it's up to it to perform.
But… let me show you a surprise."
Hearing Aoki's explanation, Steven said he was even more confused.
A pseudo-legendary Pokémon?
A Dragon/Fighting type Pokémon?
I've never heard of it before.
Am I really that ignorant?
And what's with the inability to control it?
But actually, just one look at Izumi Himura's expression was enough to tell him that he wasn't the only one bewildered.
Izumi and Himura indeed didn't recognize this Pokémon.
But from his Pokémon's reaction, he sensed a hint of fear!
Fear?
The Kommo-o clenched its fist and slammed it against its chest, producing a loud "thud" as scales collided.
It lowered its head, rapidly inhaling a large amount of air through its nostrils.
Then, Kommo-o opened its mouth, and a white light began to emanate from the center of its mouth. Immediately afterward, the white light shot out from its mouth, transforming into a ring of sonic energy just before leaving its mouth.
"Roar!!!"
In an instant, the Pokémon standing opposite Kommo-o felt the entire world suddenly fall silent, without a sound.
But the next moment, the next instant, a tremendous roar resounded, and rings of terrifying sonic energy erupted from Kommo-o's mouth.
Wherever the sound wave reached, the rocks in all the tunnels first shrank from large pieces to smaller pieces, and then from small pieces to powder.
All the rubble and powder were thrown into the air by the sound wave.
These were just the aftershocks.
Those directly hit by Kommo-o's deafening roar were the Pokémon of Izumi and Himura, along with Crobat from Red Pine and Sharpedoed from Archie.
Without exception, they were all sent flying and blasted back!
Even Maxie's Crobat tumbled dozens of times in mid-air before barely stopping, staring in horror at this Pokémon it had never seen before.
Tabitha and Izumi were relatively safe with their Pokémon protecting them.
But those people and Pokémon behind them were not so lucky.
Many trainers and Pokémon felt pain emanating from their seven orifices, their heads buzzing, as if they had lost all sensation. They collapsed to the ground, piece by piece... like straw being cut.
Only after the deafening sound waves subsided did those who felt deaf hear again.
Boom!!!
A massive explosion roared!
The entire tunnel seemed to expand.
Clang—
Kommo-o slammed its chest again, letting out a powerful roar.
It was as if to say...
I'm Kommo-o, a pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon!, And a Champion-level pokemon,You ignorant humans and Pokémon, listen up!
"Gulp—"
Steven, standing behind Kommo-o with Aoki, swallowed hard.
He turned his head with difficulty, looking at Aoki, unsure what to say.
After a moment of silence, Steven's voice was somewhat dry, "This...this is...your trump card? Do you have any more trump cards like this? Let me..." He finished, staring blankly at Kommo-o.
Its scales seemed so dazzling.
Aoki grinned, "This is something you can only hope for once. I can't keep Kommo-o fighting for me forever, otherwise I would have been a member of the Elite Four long ago."
Actually, Kommo-o's Roar skill shouldn't be this exaggerated; the terrain also played a significant role.
This is a tunnel, so sound has no chance to spread. Concentrating it in such a small area makes the attack of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon seem so terrifying.
Although it is inherently strong, it isn't that powerful.
Seeing the power displayed by Kommo-o, Daigo felt relieved and recalled all his Pokémon.
He was at ease.
With such a Pokémon around, they were truly invincible!
Izumi and Himura's face was slightly pale.
Although they had Pokémon protecting them, unlike the group behind them who were all lying motionless on the ground with their eyes rolled back, the sound was still penetrating, and they had suffered considerable shock.
More importantly, facing this Kommo-o, they didn't know how to attack.
Their Pokémon seemed to be on a completely different level.
However, their inaction didn't mean Kommo-o would just stand there waiting for them to attack.
Picking its nose, and finding that its opponents were all frightened, Kommo-o was quite satisfied with its display.
It lashed its massive hammer-like tail across the ground, then pushed off with its legs and leaped away.
Surprisingly, although Kommo-o normally makes a rustling sound with its scales when it moves, when it enters battle mode, all its scales seem to receive a command, taut and pressed together, making its movement incredibly quiet except for the sound of its feet hitting the ground.
Seeing the charging Kommo-o,Izumi gritted her teeth, knowing that fighting was the only option.
She commanded her Pokémon to prepare to withstand the impact.
*Boom!*
Kommo-o's fighting style was very simple: punches and tail sweeps, unadorned movements, but the opponent's Pokémon couldn't withstand such attacks.
As the battle unfolded, Himura and Izumi was being overwhelmed by Kommo-o, but they discovered that Kommo-o wasn't as terrifying as they had imagined.
It was indeed strong, overwhelmingly so,
but it wasn't a one-punch-one-kill situation.
At least they could still barely defend themselves.
However, although they were barely holding on, their fear had dissipated considerably.
The unknown is the most terrifying.
They believed that with such a commotion, Maxie and Archie must have already rushed forward.
As long as they could withstand this impact...
BOOM!!! BOOM!!!
The two Pokémon from Himura and Izumi were sent flying backward, unable to battle!
The Kommo-o's scaled fists crackled with ice and lightning—it had used a move!
The opponent was overwhelmed again!
