After the battle.
The dark clouds slowly receded, and the rain gradually subsided.
A ray of golden sunlight pierced through the dense clouds and shone down upon the square.
The crowds attending the Burning Festival before the Burned Tower, the many investigators who had rushed over, the four Gym Leaders, and even Team Rocket's elite members were all unable to recover from their shock for a long while.
Before their eyes—
Was the devastated, wreckage-strewn Ecruteak City.
Just from the destruction around them, one could imagine how earth-shattering the battle had been.
In terms of destructive power over the battlefield, the Sandstorm Team was absolutely in a league of its own.
The Rain Team, which stood alongside the Sandstorm Team, might have been slightly inferior.
But with the destructive power of Blaze's Pokémon, the damage they caused had not been much less.
It was foreseeable.
Once this incident in Ecruteak City came to an end—
The Pokémon League would likely be shaken, perhaps even enraged.
Two Elite Four going all out within a city brought catastrophic destruction.
However.
As everyone remained shocked, they could not help but reveal looks of admiration when they looked at the figure standing bathed in sunlight.
The title of Elite Four was more than deserved.
"Executive Yan Xia, can you... stop them?"
Matori, standing beside "Yan Xia," was deeply shaken as well and could not help asking.
From what Athena had said earlier, it was clear that she could not stop them.
If even Executive Yan Xia could not stop them, then Team Rocket's situation today might become rather unfavorable.
Athena could not help looking toward "Yan Xia" upon hearing that.
She thought of "Yan Xia's" savage and violent Charizard.
Someone capable of commanding a Charizard with such strength and temperament should be very powerful
