Su Tian rode Pidgeot air above the Arena, and the moment the four Pokémon appeared, he became completely energized.
The current battle between these two is in no way inferior to the most difficult duel in the Gym.
Things are getting interesting.
Su Tian, with an expression that suggested he was enjoying the show, immediately blew the whistle from his chest.
As soon as the battle began, Cynthia produced a lipstick. This lipstick was a replacement given to her by Roy, and it had a special slot for embedding Key Stone.
She raised her hand and gently applied the liquid to her lips, her fingertips lightly touching the Key Stone embedded within.
As Cynthia entered battle mode, her long Golden hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her gaze turned serious, and she slowly spoke, her voice carrying clearly throughout the entire arena:
Garchomp, Mega Evolution!
The Key Stone suddenly burst forth with a dazzling iridescent light, and an Illuminate energy thread extended from the Key Stone to Garchomp's body.
An evolutionary glow emanated from Garchomp.
Within the light, Garchomp's body began to transform. The bones in its arms extended, its body swelled, and its arms transformed into giant blood-red scythes. The horns on its head became even sharper and more ferocious.
After the light faded, Mega Garchomp appeared in the Arena.
"Dusclops, activate Trick Room!"
"Night!"
A pink Psychic type glow appeared on the Dusclops's body.
Cynthia knew how disgusting this Dusclops was; if it used Trick Room, both of her Pokémon would be affected.
So that's what Roy was thinking.
"Lucario, use Dark Pulse! Garchomp, use Helping Hand!"
Mega Garchomp and Lucario exchanged a glance; as Cynthia's Pokémon, they cooperated very well.
Lucario Lock-On his eyes on the one-eyed fat man next to the Golurk, and gathered his palms in front of him, condensing a burst of dark energy.
A black Energy Ball, radiating an evil aura, continued to condense in Lucario's hand, growing larger and larger.
Mega Garchomp swung its two enormous red scythes, and a mysterious energy flowed from its body into Lucario.
With Garchomp's "help," the black energy in Lucario's hand solidified, transforming into a massive black Energy Ball.
Seeing that the black Energy Ball was already much larger than itself, Lucario pushed with both hands, and the Energy Ball, which was about 2 meters in diameter and contained Dark type energy, slammed into Dusclops, which was casting Trick Room.
Just as the black Energy Ball was about to hit the Dusclops, the Golurk stepped forward and blocked it, a bright green energy shield appearing in front of it.
The Energy Ball containing the Dark type energy was firmly blocked outside the energy shield.
With a loud "boom," the black Energy Ball exploded outside the energy shield, and powerful energy fluctuations spread throughout the entire Arena.
An energy shield instantly rose above the Arena, containing the fluctuations within its range.
After the energy fluctuations subsided, Lucario found that the Golurk was standing steadily in front of Lucario, completely unharmed.
Golurk just caught Lucario's attack.
The next moment, Mega Garchomp charged towards him, enveloped in a Golden dragon phantom.
The Golurk had no time to react defensively and could only raise its hands to brace itself.
The Golden dragon phantom slammed violently into the Golurk.
Mega Garchomp's Dragon God Dive didn't do much damage to Golurk. Golurk was only knocked back two steps by the dragon's phantom, and its two giant hands grabbed the giant scythe that Mega Garchomp was about to bring down.
Seeing frost forming on the Golurk's fist, Mega Garchomp immediately retreated.
With her four times weaker ice resistance, she dared not take the punch from the Golurk.
At this moment, Lucario charged over again, but her target wasn't the Golurk. She wanted to bypass the Golurk and rush straight in to interrupt Dusclops's skill.
However, two enormous rocks materialized from the Golurk's two giant hands and hurled towards Lucario.
Seeing two rocks, each larger than himself, hurtling towards him, Lucario abandoned his attack and leaped backward, barely dodging the two enormous rocks.
Seeing that they couldn't break through the Golurk's defenses, Lucario and Mega Garchomp exchanged a glance.
Their desire to quickly eliminate the Dusclops vanished.
Mega Garchomp stomped its right foot down hard, sending rubble flying and a gust of wind carrying sand that swept across the entire arena. Mega Garchomp stood at the heart of the Sandstorm.
"Roar!!"
The Sandstorm is a pure buff for the Mega Garchomp, which possesses the Sand Force. A deep dragon roar explodes from Garchomp's throat, and its dragon scales surge with violent air currents.
Fine sand and rock fragments rose rapidly with the whirlwind, and in an instant, a sky full of yellow sand swept across the entire battlefield.
The fine sand and pebbles hit Lucario nearby with a "ping-pong" sound, but they couldn't cause any damage.
The Ghost type and Ground type Golurk took no damage during the Sandstorm.
Only Dusclops, a pure Ghost type Pokémon, suffered damage from the sandstorm.
However Dusclops's Trick Room had also been released, and the entire Arena was covered by the Dusclops's Trick Room.
Lucario and Mega Garchomp felt their legs sink instantly, but because their levels were higher than Dusclops's, the impact was limited, though their speed was still reduced.
The Golurk felt that its speed had increased considerably.
"Garchomp, use Brutal Swing!"
Cynthia, sitting on the command platform, gave the order.
Amidst the Sandstorm, Mega Garchomp's two massive scythes, imbued with Dark type energy, slashed at Golurk.
The massive, blood-red arm blade spun at high speed, leaving a dark red arc-shaped afterimage, with dark energy of Dark type coiling around the blade's edge.
Golurk reached out and caught the two scythes, but the Dark type energy on the scythes caused Golurk pain, and unable to bear the pain, it released the two scythes from Garchomp's arms.
Two scythes carrying Dark type energy struck the Golurk, knocking it back.
Seeing that its attack had worked, Mega Garchomp swung its two blood-red scythes again, spinning them outwards.
The giant scythe slashed repeatedly, sweeping across the entire area around it. The blade tip scraped several deep cracks in the ground, and fragments of rock flew out along with Dark type energy.
The two giant scythes were about to strike the Golurk again.
Cynthia was inwardly cheering for her Mega Garchomp, but then she suddenly saw Roy across from her smile at her.
At first, Cynthia didn't know what Roy was laughing about, but when she saw a Pocket Watch appear in Roy's hand, and then touch the Pocket Watch, a dazzling light burst out from Pocket Watch.
Mega Evolution!
Cynthia was startled by Roy's actions.
This means that one of the two Pokémon on the field can Mega Evolution, but she had never heard of Golurk or Dusclops Mega Evolution.
"By a thousand years of time as a pact, with the earth's soil as proof, slumbering guardian, heed the call, break the limits, Golurk — Mega Evolution!!"
An evolutionary light erupted from the Golurk's body.
The Golurk, which was already nearly 6 meters tall, grew to almost 10 meters, exuding a powerful aura.
After Mega Evolution, the runes on the Mega Golurk's body changed to "Ω", and two bands of lava energy appeared on its chest.
Mega Golurk appeared in the Arena.
Seeing the Mega Golurk in the Arena, Cynthia wondered if it was an unknown Mega Evolution Pokémon.
Moreover, Cynthia sensed that the aura emanating from the Mega Golurk was almost at the level of High-level Elite Four.
This filled Cynthia with despair. She was already difficult to fight, and now the Mega Golurk's strength was almost at the level of High-level Elite Four.
I've really fallen behind Roy.
Mega Golurk grabs the giant scythe in Mega Garchomp's hand.
This time, Mega Golurk didn't flinch despite the Dark type energy on its scythe; it easily Mega Garchomp away.
Mega Garchomp's eyes widened in surprise, clearly not expecting that the power of the Mega Evolution Golurk would become so great.
However, now is not the time to think about these things. Mega Garchomp struggled to stabilize itself in the air, and when it landed on the ground, it slammed its two huge scythe-like arms into the ground, carving a huge trench in the Arena.
When it finally stopped, the Mega Golurk was already charging towards it.
Mega Garchomp's entanglement was not in vain; Lucario had already bypassed Mega Golurk and charged toward Dusclops.
However, Dusclops became incredibly fast in the Trick Room, its two short legs moving like a motor, giving Lucario a real headache.
Lucario could only use Bullet Punch to quickly approach Dusclops, but Bullet Punch did little damage to Dusclops was carrying Eviolite.
Before Lucario could gather Ghost-type energy in its hands to use Shadow Claw, Dusclops didn't retaliate. Instead, it quickly ran away on its short legs, putting distance between itself and Lucario.
They gave Lucario absolutely no chance.
