Its excellent resistance to Fire-type and Water-type attacks had allowed Swampert to endure the aftermath of Steam Eruption. But as it unleashed its strength, Lysandre began to feel that the situation was slipping out of his control.
As for Metagross, in his eyes, it was nowhere near the level of the Swampert before him...
While he was thinking,
"Laa-chii!!!"
An enraged roar erupted through the steam.
Looking more like a deity than even Volcanion at that moment, Swampert was enveloped in scarlet-gold and azure radiance. It clasped its hands together and raised both arms high!
Its body became the beam, its fists and arms the heavy hammer!
Scarlet Fighting-type energy was wrapped in Earth Power. The aura of nature stirred the surrounding air, drawing it all around Swampert's fists and unleashing a crushing edge! With enough force to cleave a mountain, it hammered down!
A Control Class Hammer Arm, infused with force domain power!
At the same time, invisible power twisted in midair. Psychic fluctuations spread overhead, shutting out the scalding steam. Then an enormous hammerhead emerged from the void, formed from thought, filled with spatial power, and condensed into solid form!
Purple fluorescence lent it a dreamlike hue, while a dense silvery-white glow wound around it, reflecting a metallic sheen!
As Swampert's heavy fists smashed down, the Great Sumeru Hammer followed close behind!
Bang!!!
Boom!!!
The earth shattered like tofu beneath the impact of that immense force!
The upturned ground was pulverized in the surging tide of energy, every blade of grass torn to pieces!
A grating roar accompanied the eruption of the energy field. A powerful shock wave swept through everything nearby, obscuring the figure amid the rubble.
Lysandre narrowed his eyes slightly, unmoved by the sight before him.
Though this was a tremendously powerful Fighting-type move combined
