Chapter 241
That was Scizor, Pokémon with both Bug-type and Steel-types.
"Such a powerful aura... This guy... is even stronger than before."
Looking at the majestic Scizor, its entire body seemingly radiating surging fighting spirit, Mei couldn't help but sigh. Guzma's strength was much greater than she remembered, which was probably one of the reasons why he was so Power Trip.
However... when he pointed at Qiao Ran, things might change.
Looking at him, Mei couldn't help but silently mourn for him in her heart.
"Come on! Send out your Pokémon!"
Guzma's smile became increasingly healthy, radiating an incredibly positive and sunny energy.
"OK."
Qiao Ran had already seen the opponent's level in the Rotom Dex, giving him a clear understanding of the Competition.
However, he had no intention of changing his mind. If he wanted to make this kind of thug submit, he had to show him what true strength was.
"Come out!"
In an instant, a huge, pure white figure appeared before him.
"Reshiram!"
">

Scizor: Level 45
Through Rotom, Qiao Ran had already observed the opponent's level.
This level hasn't yet reached the Elite Four level, and the gap between Pokémon haven't reached the Elite Four level and the Elite Four is still very large.
"..."
Qiao Ran already had a basic understanding of the situation.
"Come out!"
This time, let it come!
"Reshiram!"
With a resounding dragon's roar, a real-life hero has arrived in this world.
She opened her blue eyes, her three-meter-tall body looking down at the Scizor in front of her.
Her pure white fur swayed like flames on her body; just looking at her unique figure was enough to evoke both immense beauty and Pressure.
"What... is this...?"
Guzma's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped, his cheeks twitching violently twice.
What is this?
What is this?
Although he was Alola and didn't know much about other regions, as the apprentice of Hala Island Kahuna, he could already be considered an elite in Alola. From his Master, he had also learned a lot about other regions and their legends.
For example, this one in front of me...
It's related to the region in his memory that has the largest film industry in the entire Pokémon World.
"Ray... Hiram..."
Guzma had never seen Legendary Pokémon before, not even one from the local Alola region. But this time, standing before this Pokémon, he experienced for the first time a sense of holiness and majesty.
The pure-colored dragon raised its head, which resembled a white wolf, and gazed at him with its blue eyes.
His eyes held a deep disdain and disappointment.
As the embodiment of reality, Reshiram despises anything that escapes reality—like the "King of Destruction" before him, Guzma.
"Wh... what is that?! Even Legendary Pokémon must be destroyed by me! Destroyed!"
Guzma paused for a moment, then his expression grew increasingly vicious, like a wolfhound whose tail had been stepped on.
He waved his right hand, sending his Pokémon to attack.
"Scizor, Night Slash!"
The Scizor's gaze sharpened; even when facing such a colossal creature, it faithfully carried out its Trainer's commands.
It flapped its wings and flew toward Reshiram's location, a dark light shining from its massive pincers, drawing a jet-black line across the sky.
"Well done!"
Qiao Ran couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Although Guzma on the other side seemed to have lost its mind, as a Trainer, it made a relatively correct choice— Scizor was undoubtedly at a disadvantage against Reshiram. Neither Steel-type nor Bug-type moves could deal more than half the damage to Reshiram. Therefore, Dark type might be the best choice than Steel-type or Bug-type moves.
"But that's all."
When Reshiram first arrived in this world, her level might not have been very high, but through her continuous efforts in the Wild Area and the battles she fought during that time, Reshiram's level has increased to a considerable level.
It's more than enough to deal with a Scizor that's not even at the Elite Four-level.
After all, she is a Legendary Pokémon of the highest tier, no matter what.
"Reshiram!"
"Roar!!"
Reshiram roared, and intense orange-red flames erupted from her tail like a spinning, accelerating turbine. In just an instant, the temperature in the entire room seemed to rise several degrees.
"Blue Flare!!"
As Qiao Ran spoke, Reshiram opened her mouth, and a torrent of eerie blue flames shot out from it, spreading to an unimaginable size.
"So strong...!"
Mei and Lillie couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Every time they saw these Legendary Pokémon launch an attack, it was like a performance and a treat for the eyes. They were like born "masters," with unparalleled control over their own domains. Most Pokémon needed to reach the Elite Four or Champion level to comprehend and access the Rules, but they had already reached the pinnacle from the very beginning.
This is perfection.
"Reshiram..."
Mei's eyes were sparkling. This was the legend of their Unova, the legend of their Unova!
This is the strongest legend of Unova, one of the Tao Trio, representing a true hero, a dragon that has influenced all eras of Unova.
"Get out of the way!!"
Guzma's eyes widened as he stared at the ever-growing blue flames. A profound fear gradually gripped his heart, overshadowed by the alluring beauty...
The flames contained powerful energy, and most importantly—he had never seen any other Pokémon use such a skill.
Could this be... a move exclusive to this Legendary Pokémon?
"Dodge! Dodge now!!"
Guzma was only focused on getting Scizor out of the way; the Scizor, familiar with both Steel and Bug types, was simply unable to withstand this attack.
However, Scizor's speed is not fast, and it is far inferior to Reshiram. When Reshiram uses its Turboblaze to accelerate its attack and adds Qiao Ran's Aura Power to target it, even if Scizor's speed were twice as fast, it would not be able to dodge this attack.
With just their first strike, Qiao Ran and Reshiram unleashed their full power.
"Break it down!"
Qiao Ran had completely Lock-On onto his opponent—in the horrified eyes of the Scizor, the blue flames had already enveloped its entire body.
Blue Flare, one of Reshiram's two signature skills, not only has a unique form but also unparalleled power—an attack that deals a staggering 130 damage and, according to legend, once burned the world.
"&*!&@!!!"
Amidst the flames, the Scizor emitted a mournful Bug Buzz.
It didn't fall immediately; it seemed to still want to fight for Guzma. However, under the suppression of its attributes and the overwhelming attack, it gradually lost the power to resist.
As the blue flames gradually subsided, turning into specks of light and disappearing, and the Turboblaze behind Reshiram also calmed down, Scizor lay completely on the ground, seemingly incapacitated.
"... ah."
Guzma stared blankly at the scene before him, and it took him a long time to utter a single syllable.
Am I... am I dreaming?
">
">
">
With just one move, Guzma's Scizor was rendered unable to fight.
Some of the Team Skull members who had been secretly watching the battle from the doorway couldn't help but tremble, Plumeria was equally astonished, her mouth agape.
They knew Guzma's strength. The reason why Po Town was able to survive the attacks of Ultra Beast was not only because of its terrain, but also because of Guzma's strength. With his leadership and the efforts of many Team Skull members, Po Town has achieved what it is today.
So it's not that Guzma was too weak, but rather that his opponent was simply too outrageous.
Reshiram unleashed its full power, entering overclock mode and spewing forth Blue Flare. Combined with the directional Lock-On created by Qiao Ran using Aura Power —although on the surface Qiao Ran's side didn't seem to be using their full strength, merely releasing a casual attack—only Qiao Ran and Reshiram themselves knew that achieving such an effect and coordination was truly something no one else could Mimic.
"... We lost..."
After howling on the ground for a while, Guzma stood up somewhat dejectedly.
He stomped his foot angrily.
"Guzma! What are you doing, Guzma!"
If in his previous matches against Mei, he could still see a glimmer of hope for victory, and even dreamt countless times in his sleep of whether the outcome would have been different if he had made different decisions, then today's Competition, the one he just witnessed, only revealed an immense gap, like a chasm or an insurmountable chasm... He simply couldn't even begin to imagine it.
Throughout the entire ordeal, he only gave one command, and his Scizor didn't make any unnecessary movements before it lost its ability to fight.
His opponent Defeat him, which had nothing to do with anything he did.
