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

The massive body of the dominant Charizard, raining down blood, crashed heavily into the cold, churning East Sea.

That muffled "thump" sound was like a death knell striking Zhang Leiyuan's heart.

His usual refined demeanor vanished completely, replaced by an unfathomable coldness, as if frozen solid by millennia, obscuring all expressions.

The air seemed to freeze because of his silence, and even the howling sea breeze seemed to stagnate beside him.

"Whoosh!" The Poké Ball emitted a red light and recalled Charizard.

Zhang Guanjun's trembling fingers traced the smooth surface of the Poké Ball, and the red light silently engulfed the crimson dragon's body floating in the sea.

The sphere, which had witnessed countless battles fought side by side, was now so hot it almost burned his palm.

Charizard, one of his irreplaceable trump cards, fell to protect him.

"Your turn, old pal." The whisper that bobbed in his throat was torn apart by the howling wind. Without the slightest hesitation, another Poké Ball was thrown decisively!

"boom--!"

A blinding white light exploded, dispelling a small patch of the battlefield's gloom.

A bipedal electric mouse-like Pokémon stands proudly on the ice—Babutop!

Its orange-yellow down danced wildly in the sea breeze, dangerous golden-blue arcs of electricity pulsed in the electric sacs on both sides of its cheeks, and its beige fleshy body was clenched into a fist. Its small body exuded an undeniable and determined aura.

Zhang Leiyuan bent down, his movements gentle yet undeniably urgent, and gently placed the Charizard's Poké Ball into Babuto's arms.

A bloodstained hand covered the tuft of hair standing on end on his forehead, and his voice was deep but clear: "Little Ba, you're going to have to work hard again."

Without the slightest hesitation, Babu Tubo strained his head!

In an instant, its furry body burst forth with pure white light like billions of fireflies!

These particles of light, imbued with the miracle of life, surged and converged towards the Poké Ball in my arms like a reversed galaxy—the special move [Resurrection Prayer] activated!

Revive Prayer is a very special move that can restore a Pokémon that is in a near-death state to its full strength. However, this move also has a limitation: it only has one PP.

Moreover, only two Pokémon can learn this move. Besides Groundhog, the other is also a Generation IX Pokémon—Bugstalker.

"—Buzz!!!"

Just as the light of life began to flow into the Poké Ball, a sudden change occurred in the sky!

Above the clouds, two breathtaking torrents of energy erupted without warning! The pressure was so intense that it instantly calmed the churning sea below, as if it had been held down by an invisible giant hand!

"Click——!!!"

The thick thunderclouds, like a fragile curtain, were forcibly torn apart! Two figures, carrying destructive pressure, descended onto the battlefield through the shattered clouds, instantly locking onto Babu Tubo, who was performing a miracle!

Two figures rode on Pokémon atop the clouds, overlooking the battlefield below.

One of them wore a jet-black cloak that seemed to absorb all light. His face was cold and stern, as if carved by a knife and axe. The killing intent between his brows was almost tangible, causing the surrounding air to groan under its weight.

His very existence is a moving shadow of death.

Beside him, Absol, having completed its Mega Evolution, stood proudly!

The scythe-shaped horn symbolizing calamity on its head extended to an almost exaggerated length, and pitch-black energy coiled around its body like hellfire. Its single, scarlet eye looked down at the tiny Babutu below without any emotion, announcing the arrival of death!

That's Kim Jae-hoon, the champion of the Korean evil system!

The other one had long, silvery-white hair that danced wildly in the sea breeze like a cold waterfall. Her delicate face was covered with frost, her eyes were sharp as a scalpel, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a cold and cruel arc, as if she were watching her prey's last struggle.

Beside her, the terrifying form of Mega Mawile was chilling! Its enormous steel jaws opened menacingly, pink fairy energy flowing wildly between its sinister steel teeth, emanating a terrifying aura capable of instantly shredding steel!

That's Suzuki Chiyuki, the champion of the Sakura National Steel Series!

Zhang Leiyuan frowned slightly when he saw the two newly crowned champions suddenly appear above him.

In addition to the original Park Chang, Kameda, and Kim Hyun-woo who ambushed Jang Rae-won.

—Five against one!

—Five champion-level trainers standing at the pinnacle of the world!

—The overwhelming killing intent, like a tangible, blood-red net, tightly enveloped Zhang Leiyuan and his companions!

The combined pressure of top-tier combat power caused the space in this area to distort and groan! The ice surface cracked silently!

"Prayer of resurrection? Hmph... a dying trick!" Kim Jae-hoon's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a dangerous aura like a viper's hiss, every word striking Zhang Leiyuan's nerves.

"Unfortunately, you won't have the chance to finish it." His gaze, like a cold blade, locked onto Babu Tubo.

"Zhang! Lei! Yuan!" Suzuki Chiyuki's shrill cry pierced the wind and thunder, filled with deep-seated resentment. This was the steel-type champion of the Sakura Country, and the goods she had plundered last time were supplies collected by the family behind this champion.

"The cargo ship you plundered, the hard work you destroyed... today you will pay for it a hundredfold with your life and the secret that made Pokémon Gigantamax!" She stared intently at the inconspicuous ring on Zhang Leiyuan's wrist, greed and hatred burning wildly in her eyes.

The killing move is complete! There was no probing, no holding back! The five champions unleashed their deadly attacks the moment they appeared! They didn't want victory, they wanted utter destruction!

"Mega Absol, a sneak attack on vital points!"

Mega Absol's crimson eye locked onto Babu Tubo, and his figure instantly transformed into a black blade that blended into the shadows!

The scythe's curved corners tore through the air, carrying the power to cleave space, and pierced straight into Babu Tubo's heart!

Swift! Ruthless! Vicious! The goal is to extinguish any hope of resurrection!

"Mega Mawile, Iron Hoof Ray!"

Mega Mawlet lets out a piercing scream, and a silver storm appears out of nowhere!

The death storm, brimming with destructive energy, instantly covered all the space where Zhang Leiyuan and Babu Tubo could dodge!

Wherever the silver light passed, even solid ice was crushed into dust!

"Skunko, Hurricane!"

Park Chang also gave the order along with the two newly debuted champions. The armored bird flapped its wings angrily, and a hurricane that was more violent and had a wider range than before swept across the sky. Countless sharp air blades were mixed in and attacked from the side, completely blocking the retreat!

"Mega Salamence, Dragon Star Cluster!"

The Mega Salamence, suspended high in the sky, let out a deafening roar and spewed out destructive Dragon-type energy!

The energy exploded in the air, turning into dozens of Dragon Star meteorites burning with purplish-black flames, bombarding the area where Zhang Leiyuan was like a divine punishment!

"Mega Venusaur, the insane plant!"

Kameda grinned maliciously, and the flower on Venusaur's back burst forth with a blinding green light! The ice shattered with a deafening roar, and countless terrifying vines, as thick as giant pythons and covered with sharp wooden spikes, burst forth from the ice, swarming upwards with brute force capable of crushing everything in their path! A deadly trap, with no way out!

Five Champion-level Pokémon representing different attributes, their skills intertwine to form a destructive web that covers the sky and sea, devouring everything!

The shrieks of colliding energy, the tearing of space, and the shattering of ice mingled together, forming a symphony of destruction! The white light on Babu Tuoba's body swayed violently under the violent energy impact, as if it might be extinguished at any moment!

"You scum!" Zhang Lei roared from the center of the destructive storm! He suddenly raised his left arm, and the crimson giant wristband on his wrist suddenly burst forth with a rainbow-colored beam of light!

The beam of light, like a bridge connecting heaven and earth, instantly engulfed a Poké Ball!

"Roar------!!!"

The powerful, ancient, and infinitely majestic roar of the dragon drowned out all the destructive rumbles!

Within the rainbow light, the old dragon's body expanded wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Its neck was wrinkled in layers, forming a rocky ridge as majestic as a mountain range; its snow-white beard was like a sea of ​​clouds falling from the heavens, and its wild dance attracted thunder and lightning; its originally gentle dragon eyes were now open, filled with thunderous rage looking down on all living beings!

Dynamaxed Gigantamax! Its massive body resembles a moving mountain, casting a shadow that covers the shattered ice surface!

"Max Air Strike!!" Zhang Leiyuan's command boomed like thunder!

The Dynamaxed Old Man Dragon's massive, sky-covering wings suddenly flapped!

In an instant, the world changed color! An unimaginably violent hurricane was formed out of thin air. This hurricane was not just a simple airflow, but a destructive storm carrying thunder and lightning!

It was like an angry god wielding a giant hammer, crashing fiercely into those five champion-level killing moves that were capable of destroying everything!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!

An unprecedentedly terrifying explosion! At the center of the energy collision, space resembled crumpled paper, displaying unstable, pitch-black cracks!

The blinding light instantly turned the night into day, even briefly overshadowing the sun!

The shockwave swept out in a ring, instantly tearing up, shattering, and vaporizing the tens of meters thick ice layer below, like a fragile biscuit! Revealing the churning, roaring black seawater below!

In this cataclysmic collision:

The storm whipped up by the armored bird was forcefully pushed back, and its steel feathers melted and flew everywhere in the gale!

The rampaging plant vines that Venusaur strangled upwards snapped inch by inch, turning into wood chips everywhere!

The meteorites falling from the sky were swept up by the hurricane and detonated prematurely, turning into a sky full of purplish-black fireworks!

Absol's deadly sneak attack was forcibly deflected by a hurricane containing spatial power, narrowly missing the old man's dragon rock ridge!

The Big Mouth Baby's beam slammed into the old dragon's body, which was covered with ancient rock skin, but it produced a piercing, metallic clang, leaving only a few white marks!

However, the old dragon's massive body also trembled violently, and fine but shocking cracks began to appear on the dragon's body where it was torn and bombarded by various energies!

"This...this is the power that makes Pokémon gigantic?!" Kim Jae-hoon's pupils contracted to their maximum size in shock and greed, and his voice became hoarse with excitement.

"I must get it! The corpse! The wristband! Take it all back! This power belongs to the Republic of China!" He saw the possibility of world domination!

"Kill him! At any cost!" Suzuki Chiyuki was like a madwoman, her silver hair dancing wildly.

"For those Steel-type Pokémon that were stolen! For the power of the Titans! Crush him!" Her hatred for Zhang Leiyuan and her desire for the power of Dynamax had completely consumed her reason.

Despite the excruciating pain coursing through its body, the old dragon's enormous eyes burned with an indomitable flame.

Zhang Leiyuan raised his hand to wipe away the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth due to the violent shock, and looked down at the Pokémon in his arms—Babu Groundhog was still holding the Poké Ball of Charizard tightly. The white light that had gathered had become even more dazzling and solid after being baptized by the destructive storm!

The flame of hope has never been extinguished!

He gently stroked the scalding hot Poké Ball, and when he looked up again, his gaze was like a cold, sharp iron blade tempered millions of times, piercing straight at the five people and five beasts who had gathered their killing intent once more.

"Hold on, old pal," he whispered, his voice not loud, but it pierced through the roar of the remaining energy and echoed clearly across the battlefield. "The second round... is coming!"

The shattered ice groaned beneath our feet, and five terrifying black shadows rose into the air once more, their killing intent solidifying into a crimson web of blood, even more frenzied and deadly than before!

The towering, mountain-like Gigantamax Old Man Dragon let out a powerful dragon roar that shook the universe, proudly raising its scarred body.

Like ancient guardians, they resolutely faced the overwhelming wave of death unleashed by five of the world's top combatants!

"Boom!"

It let out a deep, painful roar, its breathing as heavy as rolling thunder. It had withstood the full force of five champions simultaneously; even in Gigantamax form, it had reached its limit!

The Dynamax energy then dissipated rapidly, and the Dynamax move, which could originally be used three times, was canceled out after only one use.
