Tyranitar, Unstoppable!

Throughout the entire tournament, Tyranitar had rarely appeared. The only time it had, it had been indiscriminately blown unconscious by Magnezone's explosion, leaving all its strength with nowhere to be used.

And now, Tyranitar faced the panting Torkoal.

Lose? Was that even possible?

"Tyranitar, Stone Edge!"

Sharp stones thrust up from the ground, perfectly countering a Pokémon like Torkoal, whose belly had little defensive power.

So Torkoal took to the air, its body gleaming silver as it slammed toward Tyranitar.

Crack!... Crack, crack! Torkoal, transformed into a Gyro Ball, was like a massive grinding stone. Even after Tyranitar caught it barehanded, it refused to give up, continuing to spin as it constantly ground away at Tyranitar's rocky armor.

"Ban!"

Then Tyranitar roared, its hands suddenly exerting force as it forcibly brought the spinning Torkoal to a stop!

"Woo!"

Held high in the air, Torkoal helplessly flailed its limbs and head. Just as it tried to launch a Flamethrower at Tyranitar, Tyranitar exerted force and smashed it straight into the ground.

"Boom!"

Smoke and dust rose everywhere. Tyranitar calmly released its hands, then slowly took two steps back and silently waited.

"Torkoal is incapacitated. Tyranitar wins! Contestant Ryoko, please Switch Pokemon!"

Tyranitar stood indifferently on the field, not even sparing the Torkoal at its feet a glance. Yet no one wanted to mock its arrogant posture, as though that was simply how things should be.

Indeed, Tyranitar had easily received the attack without using a single skill, then used nothing but pure strength to smash its opponent down.

Clean and decisive, violent and powerful! After recalling Torkoal, Ryoko let out a soft breath.

She knew clearly that Torkoal could not possibly defeat Tyranitar. She could only hope to
