Wyndon Stadium.
A sandstorm swept across the field, engulfing Kommo-o and Tyranitar.
Close Combat collided with Ice Punch.
Neither Kommo-o nor Tyranitar would back down. They traded blow for blow, and every collision shook the earth.
Tyranitar's armor cracked, while Kommo-o's scales were covered in wounds.
Both were battered and bruised.
Jason exclaimed, "This is intense! Both sides have abandoned fancy techniques for a straight-up clash of power! Cool!"
On the field, the battle had reached a fever pitch.
The two seemed evenly matched.
Mallow said excitedly, "Tyranitar is amazing! It's holding its own even against a Fighting type!"
Professor Kukui explained with a smile, "For one thing, the sandstorm has been wearing down Kommo-o's stamina.
"And Clangorous Soulblaze also took a toll on Kommo-o's stamina."
"The Close Combat that followed lowered Kommo-o's defenses considerably, too. At this point, it's a battle of wills."
"One last strike!"
Li Wei and Lance called out in unison!
"Tyranitar, Aerial Ace!"
"Kommo-o, Clanging Scales!"
Kommo-o let out an ear-piercing noise.
Tyranitar neither dodged nor flinched, channeling all its strength into Aerial Ace.
BOOOOM!!!
All the spectators could see was Tyranitar and Kommo-o crashing into each other within the sandstorm.
At the center of the explosion, dust and rubble shot skyward, completely swallowing both Pokémon.
The sandstorm gradually subsided.
Tyranitar and Kommo-o lay motionless on the field.
The referee cautiously approached to check on them, then raised both hands.
"Tyranitar and Kommo-o are both unable to battle!"
"A draw! An incredible draw!"
Announcer Jason declared, "Both Pokémon gave it everything they had! This showdown was more intense than anyone could have imagined! Cool!"
Lorelei nodded slightly. "Tyranitar made up for its type disadvantage with the sandstorm and its tenacious will."
"Both fought to the very last moment. There were no losers."
