The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

The same goes for Qibana. Instead of using its own Dragon-type Special Attack moves, it forces Duraludon to use its own Physical Steel-type moves, which is ineffective and unlikely to win.

"Aluminum Steel Dragon, unleash your metal claws once more."

"Charizard, use Dig!"

Kibana continued directing Duraludon to give Charizard a scald massage, but Leon wasn't going to keep up the act any longer.

Faced with the Duraludon charging at it with its claws raised, Charizard, following Leon's instructions, folded its wings in mid-air, curled its body into an oval shape, and began to spin rapidly.

As if transformed into a dragon-headed gopher, it swooped down, burrowed a large hole in the ground, and disappeared underground.

The aluminum-steel dragon's metal claws also missed.

To be honest, when Xiaozhi first heard Leon's instruction, he was stunned for several seconds.

No, what kind of kind person would let their Charizard learn to dig burrows for no reason?

If you, Dan, want to target Qibana's Aluminum Steel Dragon, just say so.

At the same time, Charizard emerged from underground, right behind Duraludon. Charizard shattered the ground where Duraludon was standing with a single punch.

The digging of the tunnel directly hit the aluminum steel dragon, with outstanding results.

However, physical attack moves now deal very little damage to Duraludon. The effectiveness of these moves is offset by Duraludon's significantly increased physical defense, resulting in a power of only 80, which is not enough to damage Duraludon at all.

"Hit! This move is incredibly effective against aluminum-steel dragons!" the host exclaimed excitedly.

"Charizard, use Brick Break."

"Aluminum Steel Dragon, unleash the Sharp Stone Attack."

Charizard's transformation was incredibly swift; it quickly adjusted its position in mid-air to absorb the momentum from its initial burst of speed as it emerged from the ground.

He immediately raised his hand, gathering Fighting-type energy, and slashed at Duraludon.

Unexpectedly, the aluminum steel dragon lay down on the ground and gathered rock-type energy.

One after another, stone pillars burst forth from the ground, their long arms striking the short arms, hitting the Charizard's chin head-on before it could even reach the Duraludon, twisting its neck.

Four times the restraint, outstanding effect.

This attack dealt extremely high damage to Charizard, interrupting its Brick Break attack.

The fire-breathing dragon was shot down and crashed heavily to the ground.

man!

However, it did not give up. It stood up with its battered body and continued to fight.

"Alumina Steel Dragon counterattacks Charizard with a highly effective Rock-type move!" the host exclaimed excitedly.

"Aluminum Steel Dragon, your strength has indeed not disappointed me." Dan Di still maintained a very confident smile as he spoke.

"Only now can you smile so calmly."

"Let's settle this, Aluminum Steel Dragon, unleash the Iron Hoof Ray!" said Chibana with a wave of his hand.

"Charizard, use Flamethrower!"

The Aluminum Steel Dragon seemed to transform into a turret, once again crouching forward on the ground, gathering steel-type energy in its mouth, which transformed into a silver-white beam of light that roared and shot towards the Charizard.

Charizard tried to block with its own flames, but it couldn't stop it at all. After the flames neutralized some of the power, the remaining force of the Iron Hoof Beam also hit Charizard, with little effect.

"Aluminum Steel Dragon unleashed its strongest Steel-type move, Iron Hoof Beam."

The two sides clashed fiercely, and the Iron Hoof Beam struck!

However, the Charizard was still standing. "The host exclaimed excitedly.

"Thank you very much. Thanks to you, Charizard's fighting spirit was finally ignited," said Dan Di.

“Then let’s get the atmosphere even warmer,” said Cibana.

Xiao Zhi simply couldn't understand this move.

Although the Iron Hoof Beam has a power of 140, and even higher at 210 with its STAB boost, it can drop to only 105 if the effect is poor.

The key issue is that this move has a fatal side effect: it will reduce your maximum HP by half.

Even if a Pokémon doesn't take any damage during a battle, it will still fall down after being hit by two Iron Hoof Beams due to depleted HP.

Why would someone sacrifice half of their maximum HP just to deal a hundred or so points of damage?

That's such a bad deal!

Furthermore, the Aluminum Steel Dragon now has half its health lost due to the Iron Hoof beam attack.

I just took a hit from Dragon Claw and Dig a few more times. Even though the damage was minimal, it still took some health.

The aluminum steel dragon probably only has about 30-40% of its health left.

Can you believe it?

So far in this battle, the highest damage dealt to Duraludon was actually half of its own health that it lost due to being hit by Ironhoof Ray!

Both of these special attackers only have one special attack move each, and Charizard doesn't have a STAB Flying-type move, while Duraludon doesn't have a STAB Dragon-type move.

Ash was speechless. What a terrible moveset!

Now, it seems that the two of them have remembered that they still have the Dynamax battle system to use.

"Here we go, Duraludon, Gigantamax!"

Kibana was the first to recall Duraludon, letting the Duraludon's Poké Ball sense the Maximal Bracelet on his wrist, before throwing the Poké Ball, which had grown larger due to the infusion of Galar particles.

In an instant, Duraludon sprang from the Poké Ball, its body expanding at a visible speed.

Its silvery-white scales extended and hardened, its dragon wings blotted out the sky, and its towering body appeared on the battlefield.

Its metallic body radiated an intensely powerful, deep blue aura; each scale appeared to be forged from a massive alloy.

The dragon raised its head high, its roar making the stadium windows vibrate.

Several dark red clouds swirled above its head.

The colossal aluminum steel dragon descended, its chilling steel aura causing the entire audience to hold their breath.

Although it looks a lot like a television station building.

"Very well, this battle is not over yet, and I will not let it end. I will show you the true power of Charizard."

Charizard, Gigantamax!

Leon also recalled his Charizard, sensed it with his Max Bracer, injected Galar Particles, and then threw the now-enlarged Poké Ball.

Charizard sprang out of its Poké Ball, its flames surging like wildfire, and its body expanding wildly.

The orange-red dragon scales grew thicker and thicker, its wings spread like a burning sky, and its tail flames transformed into a pillar of fire reaching the heavens.

The dragon's head stood majestically, its scorching aura melting the surrounding air. The Gigantamax Charizard roared, head held high.

Flames and Dynamax energy intertwined, golden Dynamax patterns wrapped around his body, as if a god of war of fire had descended, and his burning fighting spirit instantly swept across the entire Mech Arena.

"They've appeared! It's Gigantamax Duraludon! And Gigantamax Charizard!" the host exclaimed excitedly.

The two Gigantamax Pokémon faced off on the battlefield, and the audience had long forgotten to shout, their eyes filled with shock and awe.
