A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

"Heat up Rotom, be on guard, and prevent a surprise attack!"

As Zhang Leiyuan's command was clearly delivered, the heated Rotom activated its floating ability. It hovered lightly above the electric grid covering the entire ground, a faint electric glow surrounding it, like a spirit messenger controlling lightning.

Rotom's unique Float ability is a must-have for all Electric-type Pokémon trainers, as it provides excellent defense against Ground-type Pokémon and their attacks.

What's more, since Heat Rotom is a Pokémon with both Electric and Fire attributes and is four times weaker to Ground-type moves, once it is hit by a Ground-type move, even if its double-defense racial stats are particularly excellent, it may not be able to withstand it.

The heated Rotom followed the intricate patterns of electricity on the power grid, patrolling the area at breakneck speed like nimble lightning.

Every movement it made was precise and swift. The flashing lightning echoed with the electric grid, illuminating the entire arena like a magical electric field.

The reason why Zhang Leiyuan issued such an order and asked Rotom to act in this way was very clear, that is, to prevent the Flame Lion from launching a sudden attack from underground at this critical moment.

After all, Infernape's previous fighting style and various signs indicate that it is very likely to use the concealment of the underground to launch a surprise attack on Rotom.

Therefore, be prepared in advance. As long as Rotom is freed from the provocative state, he will still be able to fight and gain the upper hand in this fierce battle.

"Dong dong~"

Without warning, the ground of the arena trembled slightly. The subtle movement was like a barely perceptible ripple on a calm lake.

But Rotom, with its keen electrical senses, instantly detected this anomaly. It immediately stopped its wandering movements, and the electricity surging through its body intensified. The crackling sound was incessant, even ionizing the surrounding air with a pungent smell.

The spectators in the stadium also noticed this change. The originally quiet stadium became even more silent. Everyone held their breath, staring at the seemingly calm ground.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, every second was infinitely stretched, and the tense atmosphere was like an invisible net, covering the entire stadium.

"Fire Lion, charge up the flame attack."

Suddenly, a Flame Lion burst from the ground not far from where Rotom was heating up. Its body was engulfed in blazing flames. The moment it burst through the ground, these flames spread outward like surging waves, scorching the surrounding earth and rocks red.

Immediately, raging flames enveloped Infernape's body once again, and with a roar, it charged towards Heating Rotom.

"Heat up Rotom and shrink the grid."

The heated Rotom also reacted extremely quickly. The moment Flame Lion rushed out of the ground, it immediately controlled the power grid to quickly shrink in the direction of Flame Lion.

Dense currents rushed towards Flame Lion like a swarm of snarling electric snakes. Simultaneously, Rotom Heating itself unleashed powerful currents, combining with the shrinking grid to trap Flame Lion once again.

Heated Rotom was like a tireless generator, launching fierce electrical attacks again and again.

Thick electric currents, like living snakes, rushed towards the Flame Lion with sharp whistling sounds.

Wherever the electric current passed, the air was ionized, making crackling sounds, as if turning the entire stadium into a sea of ​​electricity.

The Fire Lion was like a fearless warrior. On this battlefield ravaged by lightning, it used the charged flame attack again to increase its speed to a higher level.

Its body twists flexibly, and every turn and every change of direction is full of power and skill.

In its rapid movement, Flame Lion was like an unpredictable whirlwind, deftly dodging wave after wave of seemingly impenetrable fierce attacks from Rotom.

The flames burning around it grew more intense, as if declaring its unyielding spirit and fighting spirit to its opponent. It charged steadily towards the direction of the heated Rotom, step by step.

However, the massive electric grid beneath its feet was like a shadowy demon, constantly dragging the Flame Lion down. Every time it set foot, it had to endure the stinging pain of the electric current from the grid.

The electric current was like a sharp steel needle, piercing into the Flame Lion's paws, inevitably slowing down its speed.

Electric Grid, an electric-type special attack move, has only 55 points of power in the game, but it has an additional effect, which is that it can slow down enemy Pokémon.

Therefore, Zhang Leiyuan used the electrical field and the electricity generated by the power increase in the actual combat power grid to cover the entire power grid on the battlefield, which could effectively reduce the speed of the Fire Lion.

Even so, Flame Lion endured the excruciating pain from the electric net beneath its feet. Every step it took felt like its feet were being pierced by countless needles, but the fighting spirit in its eyes grew ever more intense. With its tenacious will, it continued to charge towards Heat Rotom regardless of the consequences.

It was burning with flames all over, as if it was going to set the entire stadium on fire.

In a flash, there was a loud "bang" and the sound of fierce collision of skills resounded in the center of the field.

Using the power of its charged flame attack, Flame Lion, engulfed in billowing flames, slammed heavily into Heat Rotom like a burning cannonball. The powerful impact caused Heat Rotom to fly backwards instantly.

However, Flame Lion itself is not good at physical attacks, and the Charged Flame Strike it uses is not a powerful move. In addition, Heat Rotom itself has a certain resistance to fire-type moves, so this collision did not cause it much damage.

In reality, Li Guanjun's strategy was a foresighted one, and his intentions were far more complex than they appeared. Using Charged Flame Attack wasn't intended to overwhelm the opponent with damage, but rather served as a subtle tactical prelude.

In this lightning-fast battle, every command held a hidden meaning. Li Guanjun was well aware of Flame Leo's limited Attack stats; relying solely on brute force wouldn't be enough to pose a substantial threat to Rotom.

It approaches its opponent step by step, shortening the distance between them, just to launch a fatal blow at the most appropriate time that could change the situation of the battle, letting everyone understand that the real contest has just begun.

Just when everyone thought the situation had reached a stalemate, Li Guanjun decisively issued a new order: "Fire Lion, find a partner."

Upon hearing this, Flame Lion's eyes instantly shone with a pale blue light, and a strange signal drifted towards Rotom like an invisible thread. Shockingly, Rotom seemed to be assimilated by this mysterious signal, and its originally lively electric light became somewhat disordered.

At this moment, the old man in the commentary booth excitedly said: "Li Guanjun is using his old tricks again! Whether it's Alolan Raichu's Surf Tail or the heated Thom's floating ability, they are both excellent characteristics. Once assimilated... the consequences..."

Xiaoyu quickly chimed in, "Yes, our challenger was too careless. He was actually hit by the same move again. Heat Rotom, having lost its floating ability, is quadruple countered by ground-type abilities."

The audience in the stadium was also shocked by this sudden change. They were whispering to each other and guessing the direction of the next battle.

At that moment, the heated Rotom, which was suffering from the fierce impact of the charged flame attack, lost its magical floating ability in the air without any warning.

Before this, it was able to float steadily in the air, but now, its originally still and stable body seemed to have suddenly lost its support and fell rapidly towards the hard ground below.

"Bang~" Rotom's microwave-like body slammed heavily onto the ground, creating a loud bang and a cloud of dust.

The people around couldn't help but hold their breath, staring at the scene with wide eyes, their hearts filled with tension and worry.

Li Guanjun's urgent command sounded again, "Fire Lion, stomp again!"
