Mega Latios was incredibly powerful. If Zhang Cheng only had two ordinary Pokémon left, defeating Mega Latios would have been virtually impossible.
"If I've made it this far, of course I have a trump card. How many Trainers would reveal theirs ahead of time?"
Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Since I sent Zeraora and Moltres out this early, naturally, I have a powerful Pokémon saved for the finale."
"Diancie, get ready to battle!"
Zhang Cheng took out a Poké Ball and tossed it onto the battlefield. A small, adorable figure appeared.
Zhang Cheng still had two Pokémon capable of battling: Poliwrath and Diancie. But he wanted to end this quickly rather than let Mega Latios stay in the fight too long.
So he chose to send Diancie straight into battle. If he sent Poliwrath out first, at best, it could wear Mega Latios down, but it could not defeat it.
That could leave room for an unexpected turn. If Mega Latios seized the opportunity to greatly boost its stats, Diancie would be at an even greater disadvantage when she finally took the field.
"Oh? A Fairy-type Mythical Pokémon!" Sun Hai had extensive experience and recognized Diancie the moment she appeared.
Now Sun Hai looked decidedly uncomfortable. Mega Latios's strongest moves were Dragon-type moves. Against a Fairy-type Pokémon, not only would it be at a type disadvantage, but its own Dragon-type moves would have no effect whatsoever.
"I didn't expect this. I really didn't!" Sun Hai had long since acknowledged Zhang Cheng's strength, but he had never imagined that Zhang Cheng had so many Legendary and Mythical Pokémon.
"Diancie, Mega Evolution!"
Zhang Cheng immediately took out Diancie's Evolution Crystal. Exceptionally pure Fairy-type energy and Rock-type energy surged out together and poured into her body.
As the energy empowered Diancie in midair,
