Advancing to the Aspertia Tournament Finals

"Now!"

Seeing the opening, Gary immediately seized the opportunity and shouted to Tyranitar.

"Tyranitar, use Dark Pulse!"

Upon receiving the command, Tyranitar gathered energy in its mouth and immediately fired a purple-black beam at Charizard.

"Charizard!"

At Ash's call, Charizard, which had come to a stop, immediately responded with Dragon Claw and met the incoming Dark Pulse head-on.

Although Charizard used Dragon Claw to fend off the Dark Pulse, the impact still forced it back a considerable distance.

"Next, Earth Power!"

As soon as Gary finished speaking, chunks of rock appeared around Tyranitar without warning. Under Tyranitar's control, they shot toward Charizard like a barrage of arrows.

"Charizard, use Protect!" Seeing the overwhelming attack hurtling toward it, Ash anxiously shouted to Charizard.

At that critical moment, Charizard promptly used Protect. With Protect's powerful defensive force, it blocked all the incoming rocks.

"Now it's our turn!"

Accompanied by Charizard's roar, Ash spiritedly commanded, "Use Dragon Pulse!"

The beam released by Charizard transformed into a white dragon and lunged at Tyranitar with bared fangs and claws.

"Tyranitar, Dragon Claw!"

Before Dragon Pulse could reach it, however, Tyranitar swung its Dragon Claw to meet the attack.

Tyranitar put all its strength into it, viciously tearing apart the incoming Dragon Pulse with Dragon Claw and causing it to completely collapse from the middle.

Yet the impact of Dragon Pulse still forced Tyranitar back several steps.

"Now, Dragon Tail!"

Seizing the moment, Charizard immediately beat its dragon wings and flew before Tyranitar. With a turn of its body, it slammed its Dragon Tail into Tyranitar.

The sudden attack caught Tyranitar completely off guard, making it cry out in pain.

"Tyranitar, grab it!"

After hearing Gary's voice, Tyranitar endured the damage from Dragon Tail and grabbed Charizard's tail, preventing it from retreating for the moment.
