Junzhi pointed at Swampert and shouted,
"Don't give it a chance! Haxorus! Finish it with Giga Impact!"
"Raaaar!!!"
A dragon's roar rang through the entire arena!
At that moment, Haxorus drew everyone's attention!
White energy formed its base, with a gleaming sharpness enveloping its body! A crimson whirlwind swirled around it, bursting wildly into the air! Violent, razor-sharp currents kept spinning, fueled by Haxorus's ever fiercer fighting spirit and aura! It strode forward and charged at Swampert!
Yong watched the distance between them intently...
Only when the two Pokémon were just a few steps apart did he shout,
"Swampert! Icy Wind!"
"Laa-chii..."
Faced with Haxorus's overwhelming assault, Swampert remained unfazed!
Its chest swelled slightly! Then it opened its mouth and compressed its lungs in one fluid motion, sending a freezing blast howling out!

Both Yong and Junzhi remained calm until they saw Haxorus push through Icy Wind and slam heavily into Swampert!
Delight spread across Junzhi's face, while Yong's eyes flickered!
"BOOM!!!"
A violent explosion erupted alongside the freezing currents scattering in all directions! Energy burst outward in an instant!
Almost as soon as the roar faded, the freezing currents began to disperse! Warped air tangled with turbulent energy, lingering at the center of the explosion...
After a long while, the dust cleared, revealing the scene in the arena to everyone!
Junzhi's expression changed drastically.
"Impossible!"
Below the stage, Kofu grinned.
At the entrance to the arena, Argenta looked thoughtful...
Yong, meanwhile, remained utterly calm!
Amid the rubble, Haxorus stood motionless in its charging stance! Swampert knelt on one knee, its arms raised protectively in front of it!
Two skid marks trailed behind its feet!
It had withstood the attack!
Haxorus had used Giga Impact without defeating its opponent... which left it
