"Hagaaa!!!"
Roars rang out continuously as Steelix's body grew larger and larger within the light!
"Rumble..."
The enormous black mountain range in the air grew increasingly solid! Arcs of electricity coursed through its peaks, and a savage, ancient presence bore down relentlessly on Heatran's position!
"Shidaaa..."
With a low growl, Heatran sent a tremor through the groundfire, dispelling the oppression, restraint, and suffocation brought on by its opponent's "force domain power." Although it could not completely resist that crushing force, Heatran did not care. At that moment, its eyes held only the opponent before it-one that, after a sudden transformation, radiated the same kind of power it possessed, as though its very level of existence had risen!
"Hagaa-roar!!!"
The giant beast roared and finally emerged from the light!
Mega Steelix!
A distorted, rainbow-colored diamond materialized in midair, only to flash away an instant later! It then vanished into its body.
Energy from almost the same source now carried an even more violent pressure! Mega Steelix gazed at its opponent with blue eyes, opened its enormous jaws, and gave a silent grin...
Heatran lowered its body slightly, bracing itself.
At that moment, it finally felt the pressure of facing a worthy opponent!
Meanwhile, as Yong reached the final moments of his Battle Tower challenge, Mr. Scott arrived at a villa in the Survival Area.
In the reception room on the first floor.
An elderly woman and a young man sat on the sofa.
Mr. Scott, his mouth feeling rather dry, lifted his teacup and took a great gulp!
Silence lingered for a while. The only sound in the quiet room was Mr. Scott swallowing his tea...
After a long while,
The elderly woman, Bertha Grandmother, the longest-serving member of the Sinnoh Region's Elite Four, finally spoke with a solemn expression.
