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

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

The moment the Flame Lion received the order, its aura suddenly rose, its muscles tensed, its huge body rose from the ground, and it flipped around in the air at an astonishing speed, bringing up a strong airflow and diving downwards.

At the same time, the Flame Lion's limbs quickly absorbed the ground energy in the air, and a rich ochre light gathered at its limbs like a surging tide. The light contained terrifying power, as if it could crush everything.

The Flame Lion was like a giant cannonball falling from the sky, carrying with it surging ground energy and smashing straight down to the ground.

Its eyes burned with a fiery fighting spirit, and it kept its eyes fixed on its target from beginning to end—heating Rotom.

"Boom~"

A deafening roar erupted, as if the very heavens and earth were trembling. Terrifying ground energy, centered around the Flame Lion, fanned out across the field.

In the blink of an eye, thick, ochre-colored energy waves surged in all directions, causing the ground to crack and dust to fly wherever they passed.

Wave after wave of these energies washed over the heated Rotom as it fell to the ground.

Rotom, already at a disadvantage due to the loss of its floating ability, was now even more shaky under this powerful ground-based energy attack.

The impact of the skill caused the stadium to be filled with dust, as if a sandstorm had erupted at this moment.

The Rotom's electric oven, which had originally shone with a dazzling metallic luster, was quickly enveloped by the rolling dust. The fine dust seemed to have found a place to live, clinging tightly to it, completely obscuring the shiny metal surface in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the seemingly hard metal shell of the Heating Rotom began to collapse slightly under the impact of this powerful ground energy.

The shell, which originally had sharp edges and smooth lines, now had irregular dents, as if it was being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.

Fortunately, Flame Lion's physical attack is too low, so the damage it causes is not fatal, but any small base number can still cause considerable damage when multiplied by four.

Old Kuai quickly followed up with the explanation, "There are even a few tiny cracks on the metal surface of the heated Rotom, as if to tell of the immense pain it's currently enduring."

Xiaoyu followed up, "That's right. With Rotom Heating losing its floating properties, its combination of Electricity and Fire makes it 4x more susceptible to Ground-type moves. The damage isn't promising."

Zhang Leiyuan's gaze was fixed on the arena. At this critical moment, he issued an order that shocked the entire audience: "Rotom, get out of the oven!"

In an instant, the electric oven, which was originally dented by the impact and covered with thick dust, began to tremble slightly.

Then, an orange light slowly floated out from the inside of the oven, and a Pokémon gently wrapped in a layer of blue translucent plasma appeared in front of everyone. It was Rotom in his normal form.

Pokémon like Rotom are very special. They don't have purifying or degenerating forms. They simply change their form by attaching themselves to various household appliances.

The last time they robbed the Sakura Country freighter, they used the Cleaning Rotom in the form of a washing machine. This time, in order to fight against the Fire Champion Li Xingeng, it possessed an electric oven.

However, having lost its levitation ability, Rotom's lithe, ionized form could only rely on its arms, crouching awkwardly on the ground. Its body trembled slightly, as if struggling to adapt to this sudden change.

In the commentary booth, Old Kuai exclaimed, "This is beyond everyone's expectations! Zhang Leiyuan actually managed to get Rotom out of its Heating Rotom form. This is a gamble!"

Xiaoyu quickly echoed, filled with excitement and nervousness. "That's right! While Rotom's normal form may no longer possess fire attributes, its mobility and skill set might change. Could this be the key move that helps Zhang Leiyuan turn the tide of the battle?"

Inside the arena, the audience was also in an uproar of shock at this sudden turn of events. Some excitedly discussed the upcoming battle, while others nervously held their breath, their eyes fixed on Rotom lying on the ground.

However, Zhang Leiyuan had his own plans. He knew that if Rotom continued to hold the oven shell in its current state, it would only suffer more damage from ground-type attacks.

Now, the Electric and Ghost attributes that allow Rotom to break free of his restraints and return to his normal form, although he has lost his floating characteristics, are only twice as weak to Ground-type moves.

Unlike the four times weaker ground that heats Rotom, it also loses resistance to fire-type moves, so it has both advantages and disadvantages.

However, the Electric and Ghost-type regular Rotom and the Electric and Psychic-type Alola Raichu have two common weaknesses, which are Ghost-type and Dark-type skills. It just so happened that when Infernape defeated Alola Raichu, it used two Dark-type moves, Loud Roar and Dark Wave.

Therefore, you cannot choose Pokémon in this way when building a team or playing zone defense, but there is no other way now.

Seeing Zhang Leiyuan make quick adjustments, Li Xingeng, the active champion, naturally reacted quickly.

"Fire Lion, Wave of Evil!"

The Flame Lion received the order and roared towards the sky. Its mane danced wildly under the stimulation of this power, like a burning flame.

A strange purple light flashed in its eyes, and then a ball of thick black energy gathered in front of it.

This ball of energy was like a small black hole, constantly spinning, swallowing up the surrounding light and emitting a terrifying aura.
