"That kid... is he going to pit Steelix against Zekrom!?"
Among the members of Team Plasma, Ryoku's eyes filled with shock.
Yes, he admitted that this Steelix put immense pressure on him. But could a Pokémon of such an ordinary species, however extraordinary it might be, really hope to challenge the legendary Black Dragon of Truth that had once brought destruction and rebirth to the Unova Region?
No one could answer his question.
Despite standing on different sides, everyone wore almost the same expression-a mixture of shock and disbelief!
Only that boy knew the answer.
Yong gazed at the figure in the sky, his eyes burning.
"Rock Solid" manifested behind him. His calm aura flowed, merging with Steelix's "force domain power." Right from the start, Yong intended to give it everything he had!
"Steelix! Let's say hello! Flash Cannon!"
"Hagaaa!!!"
Steelix twisted its body, dense black arcs of electricity clinging to its surface. Silvery-white radiance gathered from every direction. Amid the shimmering light, concentrated Steel-type energy burst forth in a torrent with Steelix's furious roar, surging toward the sky!
Wherever it passed, the air churned and parted to either side.
Rumble...
Above the clouds, lightning spread!
Azure thunder seethed.
Rather than retreating, Zekrom advanced. Lightning exploded all over its body, and a dazzling bolt gathered into a pillar, weaving and darting like a serpent. Azure-blue brilliance painted the entire sky before thunder descended like divine punishment!!!
Thunderbolt!
Crackle!!!
Boom!!!
In an instant, the silver torrent collided with the azure lightning!
Blinding light erupted. The clash of energy overturned the surrounding air, their overwhelming forces pushing against each other as the glare obscured everyone's vision.
Before the aftershocks had faded, the boy's voice rang out again.
**"Opening with Thunderbolt! Zekrom! Lightning like that won't satisfy Steelix! Go, Steelix! Serpentine Impact! Use
