[Holy shit, is this really something I get to see in a Contest Battle?]
[So badass! Mega Tyranitar has to be the most imposing Mega Evolution we've seen so far!]
[Can you believe it tanked a Solar Beam without losing a single appeal point?!]
[Can't blame the system. That whole reborn-in-the-light moment was so damn cool, even it couldn't deduct points!]
[Mega Tyranitar is huge! Almost four meters tall, right? Feels like a couple of steps could cause an earthquake!]
[Probably not because of Mega Evolution. Xia Chi's Meowscarada is huge too. Another plus-sized version.]
[Got it. Lao Shui likes them big and fierce! (Magneton_side-eye_grin.jpg)]
[Big is justice!]
Before the cries from the stands and the frenzy of comments had subsided, an even more terrifying sight descended.
Boom-
With nothing more than a low breath from Mega Tyranitar, a sandstorm that blotted out the sun instantly swallowed the entire battlefield!
Coarse sand and gravel battered the energy barrier separating the audience like billions of bullets, unleashing a heart-stopping barrage of crackles!
The barrier shook violently, visible ripples of energy spreading across its surface!
Without that protective barrier, this apocalyptic dust storm raised by the will of the "Sandstorm Sovereign" could surely have turned the entire Sootopolis Arena into a lifeless desert in an instant!
Xia Chi gazed at the towering silhouette looming through the raging sand, his heart brimming with emotion.
Who could have imagined that the dying little Larvitar he had brought home from a corner of the Breeding Base a year ago, the one deemed unlikely to survive even six months...
Would truly shatter the shackles of fate today, rise from the ashes, and reign here as a Desert Tyrant whose presence transformed heaven and earth?
Clearly, as long as you persevered through every setback, refused to bow
