Entei Statue

Blaziken's legs, incomparably slender compared to Snorlax's body, lashed out with afterimages.

"Boom—"

A deep crater appeared in the ground, accompanied by dense cracks.

At its center.

The simple and honest Snorlax had already fallen unconscious, losing its combat capability.

The gap between an ordinary wild Elite Four Level Pokemon and the current Blaziken was simply that great.

In other words.

Type advantages sometimes truly proved nothing.

But more often than not, they were something that could not be ignored.

"Sizzle—"

Countless clouds of steam surged wildly where water and
