Rhyperior attacked without defending, relying on its outstanding defenses and completely ignoring Tyranitar's attacks. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it was determined to defeat Tyranitar here.
Tyranitar did not have physical defense as high as Rhyperior's, but both its defenses were excellent. Although its attack power and stamina were slightly inferior to Rhyperior's, the difference was not great, leaving the two Pokémon evenly matched once they clashed.
Tyranitar's roars and Rhyperior's bellows filled the arena, mingling with the explosions produced by their colliding moves.
At this point, the Pokémon's own experience and fighting ability, along with their Trainers' commands and competence, would have a major influence on the outcome.
And in this respect, Xia You undoubtedly held the lead.
Rhyperior was certainly one of Palmer's main Pokémon, but just like Scizor earlier, Tyranitar had traveled with Xia You for a long time. It had experienced plenty of battles, large and small, and was no less capable than Rhyperior.
Of course, the most important factor was that Xia You was better at commanding!
Under his direction, Tyranitar met force with force. In their final clash, it seized an opening to knock Rhyperior to the ground, then used Hyper Beam at extremely close range before its opponent could get up. The overwhelmingly powerful energy struck Rhyperior and defeated it completely.
Although that might sound straightforward, the process was nowhere near that simple.
It had all been earned through Tyranitar's hard-hitting exchanges and Xia You's keen perception!
And although Tyranitar had defeated Rhyperior, its body was covered in injuries. Clearly, the victory had not come easily.
The Battle Tycoon's ace Pokémon certainly lived up to its reputation!
It really did have some skill!
Fortunately, Xia You had still proved the better of the two!
"Two to zero!" The announcer's voice echoed across the
