"The two Pokémon collided fiercely! Both unleashed moves they developed themselves! Which one was stronger-the blazing Dragon Claw or the unstoppable Confusion vortex?"
"There it is! Charizard and Claydol have both been knocked to the ground by the energy blast!"
Seeing that neither Pokémon got back up, the referee quickly entered the field and carefully checked their condition. As everyone waited, he finally announced the result.
"Charizard and Claydol are both unable to battle! This round is a draw!"
The spectators erupted into enthusiastic applause, clearly delighted by the spectacular clash.
"Ding! Claydol drew an official battle! Earned 200 Training Points! Gained a large amount of experience!" "Ding! Sandstorm! Trick Room! Rock Slide! Ancient Power proficiency increased!"
Heross still wore a smile, but there was a vicious edge to it. He recalled Charizard, casually returned its ball to his belt, and snorted.
"What a useless disappointment!"
Yong's expression chilled, but he remained silent and quickly sent out his next Pokémon instead.
"Wooooh!!!"
The ground shook as Rhydon's silver-gray body slowly emerged from the light.
At the sight, Heross raised an eyebrow and spoke with a hostile expression.
"Are you looking down on me?"
Yong's voice betrayed no emotion.
"I don't underestimate any opponent, especially a poser like you... Every Pokémon is unique. Even with a type disadvantage or a lower level, even when the odds are against them, the weak still have a chance to defeat the strong."
Shaking his head, the boy looked at Rhydon and smiled faintly.
"Rhydon is strong. Apparently, you never learned that at school!"
Heross's gaze changed, and he spoke viciously.
"Very well. Let me see just how strong it is!"
With that, Heross took out a Pokémon Ball and hurled it, laughing loudly.
"Go! Trample your opponent underfoot!"
"Aha!"
