He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Henrir, now's the time! Use Rock Slide!!"

Douzi quickly gave the order, and Yanwu Wang naturally did not miss the opportunity to use Flash Flame Ace's block. He also jumped onto the top of the carriage and threw a void punch towards the sky.

Rumble rumble rumble!
Suddenly, several huge rocks fell from the top of the two cloud gods' heads, which were all dangerous moves that were extremely effective against them.

The surprise attack did manage to hit a few rocks, but Shuangyun quickly recovered and swept his arm across, using brute force to clear away all the falling rocks.

The Three Cloud Gods are not ranged "magicians," but rather beings that possess both melee physical attacks and ranged special attacks.

"Tornado cloud, use the weather balloon!"

The tornado cloud gathered a pure white sphere of light, which fell to the ground and, aided by the rain, transformed into a massive water sphere.

If something of that size were to crash down, it would probably create a huge wave that would violently wash over the second half of the train.

Just as the two Pokémon were about to dodge, Nanxia spoke first:

"Thunderclouds, tie the grass into knots!"

Thundercloud raised its palms and exerted force from a distance. Despite being a metal train, energy vines sprouted from the floor and carriage walls, directly entangling half of Flame King and Flame Warrior King's bodies.

Lightning clouds have a habit of randomly striking lightning all over the Unova region, but after each lightning strike, new shoots will grow on the ground.

It can use knotted grass, which makes perfect sense.

However, now is not the time for deduction. The Water-type Weather Ball is rapidly approaching, posing a considerable danger to both of the Fire-type starter Pokémon.

In normal weather, a Flame Kick would be enough to tear the grass knots apart, but with the heavy rain pouring down, the power of the Flame Kick was reduced, and it was unable to untangle the vines that had bound the grass.
Wait a minute, the vines are entangled?

Xiao Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he commanded:
"Flash Ace, break free with Triple Spin!"

Flame Ace reacted instantly, its feet covered in frost, and it began to spin rapidly in place.

The "high-speed rotation" motion is extremely effective against this type of entanglement and restriction technique.

Not only that, Flame Ace inverted his body and spun around to kick the falling water bullet.

First kick, second kick.
Sizzle—!
The third kick of the Tri-Spinning Strike actually froze the Water Flow Weather Ball into a large ice block, greatly reducing its power. When it landed on the ground, it merely shattered into ice shards and scattered, without causing any dangerous surfing.

"And then it's you, Haenil, use hot water!!"

Douzi also seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack. With its flashy Flame King drawing fire in front, its Flame King could safely deal damage from behind.

Fire-type moves don't deal damage in the rain.
However, the hot water attack benefits from increased damage on rainy days.

Despite the rain, it seemed to raise the temperature of hot water, causing the tornado cloud to quickly rise into the air to avoid it.

Puff-!
Lei Dianyunhai, still holding up his hand to tie a knot in the grass, was caught off guard and splashed with hot water in his face, immediately letting out a series of screams in mid-air.

"Thunderous shout! Thunderous shout!!"

Even legendary Pokémon will grimace in pain if they are drenched in boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius.

Thundurus, its beard bristling and eyes wide with rage, lashed out forward with its spiked tail without waiting for its trainer's command, and then raised its arms.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, a spiraling hurricane swept up from the rear of the train, threatening to engulf both Flame Ace and Flame King.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!
Not only was it a hurricane, but the airflow was also filled with constantly exploding electric currents, forming a massive lightning tornado!

Signature move: Thunderstorm!
Ash still remembers this signature move; it's an Electric-type move that has a 100% hit rate in the rain and has a high chance of paralyzing the target. Paralysis is the most deadly condition!
"Ace Flame, use Scorching Sands!"

Ash instantly came up with a strategy and shouted loudly.

Flame Ace stomped the ground, and countless scalding sands surged up from beneath his feet. As he switched to ground-type immunity to Thunderstorm, the hot sands also poured over Flame King.

Although it's impossible to directly transform Yanwu King into a ground-type character, at least with this layer of mud and sand protecting him, he won't fall into a paralyzed state so easily.

"Playing doubles with Ash is really enjoyable!"

Douzi couldn't help but glance at his partner beside him, thinking to himself.

Xiao Zhi came up with a solution immediately, and she only needed to cooperate.

Sizzle—!
The thunderstorm was a step too late to completely engulf both, and the hurricane was accompanied by blue lightning strikes, creating a spectacular scene.

However, the next second, a dark shadow suddenly shot into the sky, bursting out of the thunderstorm and rushing towards the tornado cloud.

King Yanwu!
"How is this possible?!"

Nanxia's expression changed. Emboar is not a Pokémon with amazing jumping ability. It's impossible for it to be almost as tall as Thundurus!
However, Ash and Cinderace in Thunderstorm both grinned at the same time, the latter still maintaining its high-knee pose—

In the hurricane, Flame Ace used a "throwing" footwork to send Emboar into the air.

If we get close to the lightning cloud, then that move can also be used!
Douzi pressed his fingers down and shouted loudly:
"Shoot it down now!"

Yanwu King's right arm glowed white, and he slammed his blow into the chest of the thundercloud, which was still in the "summoning wind and lightning" gesture and had no time to defend itself.

boom!
He took a heavy blow to the chest, and the effect was outstanding!

But more importantly, the gray cloud beneath it seemed to lose power all at once, and the tornado cloud's entire body fell straight down, landing awkwardly on the roof of the other carriage.

The thunder and storm vanished in an instant!
Xiao Zhi also spoke in a high-pitched tone:
"That's not enough, we'll shoot them down too!"

Flame Ace was already prepared. He leaped towards the tornado on the adjacent carriage, raised his leg high, and then slashed down!
boom!
The latter quickly raised his right arm to block, but his shoulder slumped as he was hit by the Flame Ace's downward kick. He managed to withstand it.

But the damage isn't the main point right now—

Having been "shot down" twice in a row, even the legendary Pokémon Tornado couldn't take off again for a while and could only struggle frantically on the roof of the carriage.

Douzi glanced at the time and gradually felt a sense of urgency.

In short, take one down first!
"Henrir, use the double-edged mace!!"

Douzi immediately shouted out a powerful move.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi didn't intend to steal the spotlight from the opponent; in terms of raw power, this Emboar was still the strongest.

"Flash Ace, use Triple Spin to cover!"

Flame Ace immediately hung upside down, spinning rapidly to launch the first attack.

"Thunderous shout!!"

This forced Thundercloud to use its arm hammer to forcefully knock Flame Ace backward. However, just as it had just managed to get away from Flame Ace, another, even more powerful and fierce figure rushed up.

The Flame King was bathed in brownish-gray energy light, and charged forward with its head held high, with a pair of long, thin, sharp energy horns extending from its front.
