Lance's six Pokémon were Dragonite, Charizard, Salamence, Gyarados, Goodra, and Altaria.
Xia Yan's Pokémon, meanwhile, were Beedrill, Alakazam, Togekiss, Zorua, Latios, and Dragapult.
Judging by their lineups alone, Lance's was clearly more luxurious.
But once compatibility and various other factors were taken into account, Xia Yan's lineup was obviously more balanced.
However.
Given Lance's personality and battle habits, he had never been the type to rely on special tactics in battle.
With his strength, he could simply bulldoze or crush his opponents outright.
That was different from Steven, who excelled more at defense and counterattacking from a defensive position.
As the referee's voice fell.
"Roar—!!"
The first thing everyone heard was two dragon roars brimming with Intimidate.
They carried an overwhelming sense of pressure.
They came from Salamence and Gyarados.
Two Pokémon with the Intimidate Ability gave Lance an absolute advantage in presence right from the start.
"Dragon Dance!"
Lance swept out his arm, his voice cold and commanding.
He skipped straight past the probing phase and opened with his ultimate move.
Just imagine it.
Who had ever seen five Pokémon use Dragon Dance at the same time?
And now.
It was happening right in the arena.
"Roar—!!"
Roars rose one after another as the auras of the five Pokémon surged sharply once more. The sheer force of their presence was evident from the violent currents battering the barrier.
Other than Goodra, which could not learn Dragon Dance, all five of the remaining Pokémon used Dragon Dance in perfect unison.
Watching this spectacular scene, the audience fell silent beneath that terrifying pressure.
But in the next second, thunderous cheers erupted like a tidal wave.
It was too spectacular!
Even Xia Yan could not help twitching at the corner of his eye when he saw it.
Very good.
This was such
