The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"Very good, go, Gyarados, use Ice Fang."

A-Du immediately ordered Gyarados to launch a counterattack. Gyarados concentrated its ice-type energy on its sharp teeth, opened its gaping maw, and roared as it charged towards Charizard.

But Emperor Dan revealed a smug expression and said,

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Charizard unleashes Thunder Punch.

"what!"

To Adol's astonishment, Charizard gathered Electric-type energy in its right claw, raised its fist, and delivered a powerful punch to the charging Gyarados, slamming it heavily onto Gyarados's head.

"Ugh!"

This move, with its fourfold super effectiveness, was incredibly powerful. Gyarados was electrocuted and howled in agony, screaming repeatedly.

Even so, the damage wasn't actually that bad.

On one hand, Charizard was just intimidated by Gyarados, and its Attack stat is currently -1.

On the other hand, Charizard is a special attacker, but its physical attack is not high.

Even Charizard with its maximum physical attack, after being intimidated once,

Even though the Thunder Fist has a four-fold advantage and a power of 300,

But a single Thunder Punch can only take away half of Gyarados's health at most.

Moreover, Leon's Charizard isn't Mega Charizard X, so it couldn't possibly have maximum physical attack.

Apart from Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y and regular Charizard are basically just 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, and 4 HP. Some even aim for 0 Attack to defend against the "Transplant" move.

Charizard, which doesn't usually boost its physical attack, would need about three Thunder Punches to defeat Gyarados, even with Thunder Punch being four times super effective, since it's been intimidated.

"This move is incredibly effective against Gyarados!" the host exclaimed excitedly.

"So my brother had been saving his trump card all this time! That's amazing! He truly is worthy of being my brother," Hep exclaimed excitedly.

"Charizard, unleash Thunder Punch repeatedly."

"Gyarados, use Water Tail repeatedly to counterattack."

Charizard unleashed a barrage of Thunder Punches, pressing forward relentlessly, but Gyarados quickly countered with its Aqua Tail. The two were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand for the time being.

"This battle is not over yet, it won't end like this," said Dan Di.

"That's right, that's what I'm planning too."

"Let's go, Gyarados, Dynamax!"

Lance was the first to recall his Gyarados into its Poké Ball. He then sensed the Dynamax Band on his wrist, and the crimson Galar Particles formed Dynamax Energy surged through his arm, flowing into the Poké Ball. He then hurled the enlarged Poké Ball with tremendous force.

The moment Gyarados emerged from its Poké Ball, a surge of Dynamax energy swept across the entire area.

The red Gyarados's body visibly expanded and grew taller, its original several-meter-long form instantly filling the entire battlefield.

A colossal, dark red cloud hovered above its head, its scales grew thick and heavy like steel walls, its massive tail swept up a gale, and with each breath it spewed out a mist of water carrying a chill.

This is the Dynamaxed Gyarados, like a prehistoric beast awakened from the deep sea, its ferocious power awe-inspiring the entire scene!

"Dynamax, that's impressive. Well then, let me show you Charizard's true power!"

Charizard, Gigantamax!

Leon also recalled his Charizard into its Poké Ball, injected Galar Particles through the Max Bracer, and then hurled the now-enlarged Poké Ball.

A second later, a dark red energy storm shot into the sky, and Gigantamax Charizard reappeared in front of the audience.

Its fiery power went completely berserk, its tail flames surged like a torrent of lava, and its mouth, horns, and wings were all engulfed in flames. Its wings transformed into pure fiery wings, burning and tearing through the air.

As if a god of fire had descended, the intense heat caused the battlefield to almost glow faintly, and the air to twist and vaporize.

Two colossal red figures faced off, the immense pressure emanating from them causing the entire battlefield to tremble slightly.

The icy aura of Dynamax Gyarados and the fiery flames of Gigantamax Charizard created a terrifying energy clash in the center of the arena, with the air currents swirling up rubble and light fragments, transforming into a visible energy storm.

"They've appeared! It's a Dynamax Gyarados! And a Gigantamax Charizard!"

"This battle has evolved from an ordinary battle into a truly epic Dynamax battle!" the host exclaimed excitedly.

"Even though I've seen it once before, seeing it again now still makes me think that Dynamax battles are so spectacular," Xiaoyou said.

"Gyarados, use Max Water Stream."

This is a massive water jet from the tail of a water stream, with a power of 130.

"A Water-type Dynamax move? It's only natural that you would use this move."

Charizard unleashed Max Lightning to counter.

This is a giant lightning bolt from Thunder Fist, with a power of 130.

The Dynamax Gyarados roared, opening its gaping maw, and a massive, azure-blue column of water energy condensed, crashing down on the Gigantamax Charizard with overwhelming force.

Where the water flowed, even the air frosted over, and the ground was eroded with deep marks.

Gigantamax Charizard was not to be outdone. It flapped its wings and took to the air, golden lightning rapidly gathering on its body, transforming into a purple-gold lightning pillar that pierced the heavens and earth, tearing through the black clouds covering the battlefield and slamming down on the Dynamax Gyarados.

To Ash's surprise, even with the +1 Speed ​​boost from Dragon Dance, Gyarados was still slower than Charizard.

Max Lightning struck the Dynamaxed Gyarados first, a move that was four times super effective against it!

The damage was explosive. The Dynamax Gyarados was once again shocked and howled. The Dynamax Water attack, which had not yet hit Charizard, was also interrupted and turned into water vapor that dissipated into the air.

In this exchange, it can be said that Dan Di's side gained a huge advantage.

Furthermore, the field changed from a state of having no weather and no playing field to a rainy day and an electrical field.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, while golden lightning flashed across the ground.

"Only by using highly effective techniques can we win," Dan Di said smugly.

Ash had no idea what Leon was so proud of. Lance had also used a very effective move, but it was interrupted and missed.

After being mocked like this, A-Du got angry and immediately spoke up.

"Gyarados, use your Max Attack to kick it away."

This is a Dynamax attack from the Destruction Beam, with a power of 150.

The Dynamaxed Gyarados slammed its tail into the ground, creating a powerful earthquake shockwave that propelled it forward with immense force.

"Charizard, use Max Airstream."

This is a Max Air Rush from the Air Blade, with a power of 130.
