The moment the boulder was shattered, Mudkip stepped on the gravel and rushed forward. Water Pulse's concentrated palms slapped Larvitar's chest hard.

In the shocked eyes of Eguchi Enichi, Larvitar once again wielded the same left hand as Rock Smash, and punched Water Pulse to pieces. Water Energy washed over its body, but did not cause it any discomfort, as if it had not attacked it.

"Larvitar, use Earthquake!" Panshijian's voice was as cold as ice.

"Yoji--"

Larvitar roared, smashing the ground with its right foot, and the entire arena suddenly shook violently. Spider Web-like cracks spread from its feet, swallowing the entire venue instantly, and even the energy protective wall rippled, as if it would break at any time.

"Mudkip!" Seeing the changes in the arena, Eguchi Enichi shouted with panic.

At this moment, Mudkip, who was at the center of the earthquake, was staggered by the invisible shock wave, with a look of pain on his face.

"It's amazing!" The host's voice was broken, "Larvitar is indeed the initial form of the desert tyrant Tyranitar. The power of one blow to Earthquake actually shattered the entire arena into several pieces. This power is really terrifying!"

At the judges' table, Mr. Suzuki looked at the torn-up arena, his mouth twitched, and he looked at Trainer Morisaki standing aside with some resentment.

Trainer Morisaki felt Mr. Suzuki's gaze, coughed, and said, "Mr. Suzuki, don't look at me, I didn't do this! If you want compensation, just go to the kid who destroyed the ring and ask for it. It has nothing to do with me!"

Nurse Joy covered his mouth and smiled, looked at the two of them and said, "It's just an arena. You two are richer than the other, but you still care about the maintenance fees!"

Mr. Suzuki was about to speak when he heard Trainer Morisaki say, "Nurse Joy, don't you know him yet? He is just a pure Skarmory, nothing!"

Mr. Suzuki said with an angry look on his face, "You have the nerve to accuse me. You were so aggressive in bargaining for your Gym order some time ago. I think you are Skarmory! Your whole family is Skarmory!"

While everyone at the judges' table was having a heated discussion, the battle in the ring was already heating up.

Before Mudkip could stand firm, Larvitar had already rushed forward under the cover of vibrations, its engine-shaped tail wrapped in the energy of Iron Tail sweeping towards it with a sharp sound that tore the air.

"Mudkip! Protect yourself with Liquidation!" Eguchi Enichi's roar mixed with the exclamations in the venue.

Mudkip was quickly surrounded by azure water flow Barrier. Although Larvitar was still sent flying away, Iron Tail's force was barely relieved, but before it could land, Larvitar's palms had already been slapped heavily to the ground.

The cracked arena collapsed again with it as the center, and it grabbed several boulders and threw them towards Mudkip who landed on the ground.

"Use Rock Smash, Mudkip!" Eguchi Enichi shouted anxiously.

Mudkip stood up quickly, a scarlet Fighting type light glowed on his right hand, and he made a fist with one hand like a machete, smashing the oncoming rocks.

The moment the gravel splashed, Larvitar bullied it again. It didn't worry about the sharp stones hurting itself. The strong armor on its body was enough to withstand most of the damage from Novice Pokémon.

Larvitar's right hand used Rock Smash again, hitting Mudkip in front.

Eguchi Enichi looked at Larvitar who was rushing towards Mudkip. He was really firing and shouted to Mudkip, "Use Double-Edge!"

Mudkip shouted "Crack!" The whole body was covered in white Normal type energy. Without any hesitation, it rushed towards Larvitar.

The momentum of Double-Edge brought the roar of the wind, and Larvitar's right fist, which was holding Rock Smash, collided hard.

"Bang!"

In the dull collision sound, Mudkip was knocked backwards and rolled two meters on the ground before he stabilized his body; Larvitar was also knocked to the ground by the impact, and the red Fighting type energy in his right arm slowly dissipated.

"Amazing, it's really amazing!" The host's voice was almost broken, and the hand holding the microphone was shaking violently, "Two Novice trainers' Pokémon actually broke out in such a fierce skill confrontation! It's really exciting!"

Panshijian looked at this scene and frowned. "What a great effort! Larvitar's weight of 86kg was actually overturned!"

Larvitar stood up, looked at Mudkip in the distance with some annoyance, grabbed a rock and threw it towards Mudkip.

"Mudkip, get out of the way! Use Water Gun to fire continuously!" Eguchi Enichi shouted.

Mudkip endured the dizziness caused by the collision, quickly climbed up from the ground, jumped sideways to avoid the flying rocks, and headed towards Larvitar Spit Up five Water Gun.

Panshijian ordered again, "Use Rock Throw!"

Larvitar punched a piece of ground that was shattered by Earthquake, directly interrupting it. He raised the boulder twice as big as himself with both hands and threw it at Mudkip.

Water Gun hit the boulder, causing a large splash of water. However, the boulder was too heavy, and Water Gun's impact was unable to shake the boulder at all.

The shadow quickly enveloped Mudkip, and Eguchi Enichi's roar rent the air, "Turn to the left! Use Mud Shot to interfere!"

Mudkip jumped and rolled against the broken ground, dodging the flying Rock Throw. He condensed two balls of sticky mud with his hands and threw them towards Larvitar.

"Use all your strength Rock Slide! Larvitar!" Panshijian looked at the opponent Mudkip who was still capable of fighting, frowned and shouted.

Larvitar received the order and stomped on the ring. The rock energy in its body surged violently. The gravel around it seemed to be pulled by invisible giant hands, instantly suspended, surrounding its head, condensing into a large sharp stone cone in the air, and smashing towards Mudkip.

As soon as Mudkip threw the mud, he saw that the opponent was controlling Rock Slide, which was blocking the sky and the sun, and pressed down. The mud was also blocked by the sky-filled pitons.

Eguchi Enichi swallowed, quickly glanced around Mudkip, and finally looked at Lock-On at the huge rock behind and to the right of Mudkip, which was the huge Rock Throw that Larvitar had just thrown over.

"Mudkip! Hide behind the rock on your right rear!" Eguchi Enichi roared Infiltrator the noise of the stadium.

Mudkip ran behind the boulder like an arrow from a string. The sharp stone cone crackled against the rough rock surface, and gravel splashed everywhere.

Panshijian stared at the boulder, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he remembered that he had commanded Larvitar to throw it out. He scratched his head and commanded, "Come up and use Take Down!"

After Larvitar received the order, he let out a deep roar in his throat and quickly ran towards the boulder that Mudkip was hiding from. Its body, Stomping Tantrum, which was as heavy as a mountain, raised a cloud of smoke and dust on the shattered ring.

Its whole body glowed with white Normal type light, its whole body was covered with a layer of flowing energy, and it rushed towards the boulder.

"Mudkip! Use Mud Shot to slow down its action!" Eguchi Enichi Frisk shouted loudly when he felt the crisis.

Mudkip quickly gathered a ball of mud on the ground, and kept grabbing the sticky mud with both hands and throwing it towards Larvitar.

"Lift the rock! Block the attack!" Panshijian quickly gave the order.

Larvitar did not stop. It picked up a rock the size of a washbasin with its little hands, held it in front of it, and continued to rush towards Mudkip.

Without waiting for Mudkip to adjust his position, Larvitar, which was blocking all Mud Shot, quickly threw the rock, blocking Mudkip's retreat.

Mudkip turned around and saw Larvitar who was about to rush in front of him. He wanted to go around the rock and avoid the opponent's attack from the side.

"Don't panic! Use Water Pulse!" Although Eguchi Enichi was sweating profusely from being suppressed, he knew it very well.

Letting Mudkip continue to hide is not an option. Now the opponent has transformed the arena into an environment that is most suitable for them. The large rocks make his winning rate in a protracted battle very low.

Mudkip condensed a basketball-sized Water Pulse in both palms, and struck Larvitar with a bang.

However, Larvitar did not dodge, and with the protection of [Take Down]'s Normal type energy coat, he directly attacked with his right fist wrapped in light.

Water Pulse collided with [Take Down], Water Pulse was blown up again, and the air wave pushed Mudkip backwards, hitting the rock that was thrown just now.

"Don't give it a chance, keep attacking!" Panshijian shouted loudly.

Larvitar stopped briefly in the collision, and the Normal type energy in his body became more intense, and he continued to attack Mudkip who had no way to retreat.

"Mudkip, Rock Smash with all your strength!" Eguchi Enichi clenched his fists and shouted.

With no way to retreat, Mudkip exploded with all his strength, and his hands were covered in scarlet Fighting type energy, which empowered his own Rock Smash skills.

Without waiting for Larvitar to approach, Mudkip stamped on the ground violently, using the reaction force to rush towards the opponent. His right fist carried the fierce momentum of Rock Smash's skills and hit Larvitar directly.

"Bang!" The energy of Fighting type collided with the light of Take Down. Larvitar was shaken slightly by the impact, while Mudkip was knocked back a step.

Mudkip did not retreat but advanced instead, blasting out scarlet fists one after another, with explosions in the air like Thunderclap; Larvitar relied on the energy of Take Down to become more and more courageous as he fought.

Mudkip was continuously repelled in the continuous collisions, and soon it retreated in front of the rock, completely unable to retreat.

Larvitar grabbed the gap between Mudkip and punched out. Mudkip quickly blocked Force Unloading with his arms. Finally, Larvitar hit the rock behind Mudkip, and the rock shattered instantly.

"Give it the final blow, Larvitar!" Panshijian ordered, looking at Mudkip who was almost exhausted.

The Take Down energy around Larvitar surged like fire. It rushed forward on the gravel, and its right fist blasted towards Mudkip with the force of breaking mountains and rocks.

"Mudkip, Counter!" Eguchi Enichi shouted loudly.

Mudkip's whole body glowed with scarlet light, converting all the damage it had just suffered into the energy to fight back. Regardless of its shaky body, it hit Larvitar with its right fist.

The scarlet light collided with the white energy, and the air waves exploded in all directions centered on the collision point, causing cracks like Spider Web to appear in the center of the broken arena again.

Mudkip flew backwards like a thrown stone, hit the energy wall hard and fell to the ground. His arm twitched slightly and then stopped moving, and the scarlet energy on his body completely dissipated.
