Volcarona's overwhelming performance had undoubtedly stunned everyone.
Especially when Kiawe unleashed the Alola Region's unique "Z-Move." Its terrifying power had shaken even a Trainer as formidable as Master Wallace, yet it had still fallen to Volcarona fighting at full strength!
Although he had successfully left Volcarona with "no other choice" and forced Yong to switch him out, that performance had placed enormous pressure on Kiawe, who was facing Yong head-on...
And now, Yong's decision to withdraw Volcarona brought not a momentary reprieve, but an even more intense sense of pressure!
Like a towering mountain of immeasurable weight! Bearing down upon heaven and earth!
"So this is the power of a Z-Move? It really is an incredibly powerful move!"
Yong toyed with the Pokémon Ball in his hand, a confident smile spreading across his face.

Hummm!
The air trembled! A heavy, mountainous presence swept across the entire arena! An invisible force scattered the black grit, sending a rolling ripple outward!
A great bluestone millstone abruptly appeared behind the boy, turning slowly, its engraved patterns gleaming with mysterious light. His will merged into an inexplicable force field, vast, heavy, desolate, suppressing everything!
The air hummed like the heartbeat of the earth. With every pulse, an unnatural flush rose on Kiawe's face...
His heart beat to that rhythm, threatening to burst out of his chest!
Yong's "Battle Will" spread unrestrained across the entire battlefield, even reaching the surrounding spectator stands.
A suffocating
