"Kuu-ba!!"
In the arena, Donphan, pinned beneath Bold and taking a relentless beating, suddenly roared.
In nearly twenty years of battling, she had never endured such a humiliating match.
Furious, Donphan ignored everything else. She drew on the last of her stamina and unleashed her most devastating move—
Giga Impact!!
Giga Impact was one of the most powerful Normal Type moves, surpassed only by the mutually destructive Self-Destruct and Explosion, and equal in power to Hyper Beam.
"Kuu-ba!!"
(I'll skewer you, you bastard!!)
Driven by sheer fury, Donphan miraculously held firm against Bold's frenzied assault. Through practiced control of her energy, she forced out Giga Impact.
And then...
"Bang!!"
To Donphan's bewilderment, Bold casually raised his left hand and stopped the Giga Impact she had poured everything into.
With one standing two meters tall and the other just one and a half, it looked absurdly like an angry little girlfriend trying to ram her boyfriend with a rocket-powered Headbutt, only for the burly man to hold her back with one hand on her forehead.
"Roar!!"
(That's power!!)
Bold grinned. With his free right hand, he formed another Razor Shell and brought it down on Donphan's skull with a clang.
Their brief clash had already built his Berserk stacks past thirty, multiplying his strength, speed, and defense more than tenfold.
Forget this weakling Donphan—even if Teacher Dugu were here, he wouldn't be scared in the slightest!!
Of course, another few dozen stacks would be even better. Not because he was afraid, naturally. He simply wanted to show the utmost respect to Teacher Dugu, who had taught him so much!
"He stopped Donphan's Giga Impact at point-blank range with one hand???"
Gym Leader He Youliang stared at the flash of white light in the arena and finally cried out in shock.
