Rumble—!!
A black storm wreathed in crimson light ravaged the arena.
The terrifying shockwave from the burst of energy swept up smoke and flames. They billowed across the field, making the surrounding barriers shudder and obscuring everyone's view.
"What is..."
Everyone knew that a normal Dark Pulse took the form of a continuous sphere or a series of interlocking rings.
This Dark Pulse looked nothing like the usual move. It was almost unrecognizable, and even the well-traveled commentator struggled to identify it.
Just as he began to speak, the surging black-and-red flames in the arena abruptly died out, revealing Hydreigon wreathed in fierce fire.
Beneath Hydreigon, Metagross lay limp in a dark crater left by the impact.
A one-hit knockout!
Mega Charizard X had at least been strong enough to trade a few blows with Aggron. Alain's Metagross, by contrast, had been utterly helpless against Hydreigon.
"Shaaah—!!"
The Black Dragon spread its six broad wings, and all three heads roared at the sky, displaying its fearsome might!
The roar sent chills down everyone's spines and shook them to the core.
What a terrifying Pokémon!
And what a—
Cool Pokémon!
As Hydreigon gradually reined in its imposing stance, cheers erupted from the stands and surged skyward like a tidal wave!
How many battle fans could resist a Pokémon so powerful and confident?
One of the main reasons Hydreigon was so popular was its sheer arrogance. It struck a chord with many young people.
Admiration and longing were a major part of why they idolized Baimu and Hydreigon.
After today, Hydreigon's fanbase would surely grow again, as would the number of trainers raising Deino.
The commentator sighed. "Any Pokémon that's defeated a Legendary Pokémon is bound to be too much for most competitors to handle. This one's a force of nature!"
"Alain..."
