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

"Plop...Plop..."

Zhang Leiyuan's heart pounded wildly in his chest, each beat pumping out a torrent of raging fury!

The excruciating pain of the dragon's uncertain fate, and Rotom's mournful cry as it was pierced before his eyes, were like venomous snakes gnawing at his soul!

He suddenly looked down at the ball in his arms—the pure light of resurrection prayer on Babuto had finally been fully injected into the blood-stained Poké Ball!

The sphere instantly became scalding hot, bursting out with dazzling rainbow light!

"roar------!!!!!!!"

A dragon roar, far more ferocious and furious than before, as if it wanted to burn away all the accumulated pain and humiliation, tore apart the oppressive air on the deserted island!

White light exploded!

The massive figure of the dominant Charizard has descended once more! No longer weary and battered as before, it is now covered in intense, almost blinding blue-white flames!

The flames were no longer burning, but boiling and exploding! Every patch of crimson skin shimmered with a lava-like luster under the high temperature.

The horrific wound that had pierced his left shoulder had healed, leaving only a hideous scar. At this moment, the flames around the scar were the most violent, as if what was gushing out of the wound was not blood, but raging flames that would burn everything!

Its dragon eyes were no longer crimson, but burned with an incandescent light like molten gold! There was no reason within them, only endless killing intent towards those who had harmed Rotom!

Its domineering aura was stronger than ever before. The invisible pressure mixed with the actual high temperature scorched and distorted the surrounding air, and the reef under its feet melted and vaporized instantly!

A narrow escape from death? No! He returned from hell with the blood feud of his brothers, in an even more ferocious manner!

"Charizard!" Zhang Leiyuan's voice was icy cold, each word carrying a killing intent capable of freezing steel, "Flame Fist!!"

The target was the Dream Song Cactus, which had just successfully launched a sneak attack from behind and was about to disappear back into the shadows of the jungle!

"Roar!!!"

The dominant Charizard doesn't even need to flap its wings; raging flames erupt from beneath its feet, propelling its massive body into a burning comet!

The giant claws, capable of tearing through mountains, no longer contained ordinary flames, but rather extremely compressed, blindingly white-gold, ultra-high-temperature fire energy! The air was instantly ignited, emitting a shrill scream!

"Dream Song Cactus! Abyss Thrust!"

That chilling voice rang out again, carrying a hint of barely perceptible solemnity.

The Dream Song Cactus's dark eye sockets locked onto the incoming fiery comet, and its withered arms once again gathered dense, inky black evil energy, the tips of its poisonous spines gleaming with a deadly eerie light.

Instead of retreating, it let out a piercing shriek, crossed its arms, and fiercely met the Heaven-Burning Fist!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A deafening impact and explosion instantly reverberated across the island!

However, the anticipated stalemate did not occur!

The domineering Charizard's fists, wreathed in flames of rage that could burn everything and power beyond limits, slammed down like two red-hot giant hammers onto the Dream Song Cactus's "Abyss Spikes"!

The jet-black evil energy only lasted for a moment before being completely devoured and evaporated by the raging platinum flames, like fragile thin ice!

"Tsk-!"

A piercing scorching sound rang out! The tough, seam-covered, withered arms of the Dream Song Cactus, upon contact with the Flaming Fist, began to char, carbonize, and disintegrate like rotten wood! The highly poisonous spines instantly melted into drops of venom, only to be completely vaporized by the intense heat in the next moment!

"Ugh?!!" The Dream Song Cactus let out a terrified and painful scream!

The dominant Charizard gave it no chance to breathe or change its moves! Its fists transformed into a raging storm of fire, with countless fist shadows, each strike carrying the ruthlessness to wipe the opponent completely from the world!

Flame Fist is no longer a skill, but an extension of its rage and a manifestation of its vengeful will!

"boom!"

A punch slammed into the trunk of the Dream Song Cactus, shattering the withered wood and leaving deep scorch marks!

"Oh!"

With a single punch to its lower body, the thick root snapped in two!

"Sizzle!"

The flames brushed against its "stitched maw," melting the stitches and revealing the twisted interior!

The Dream Song Cactus was completely suppressed and retreated step by step!

Its prized Grass and Dark-type energy appears so pale and powerless in the face of the Overlord Charizard's attacks, which transcend limits and are driven purely by ferocious power and raging flames that incinerate the world!

It can't even get close; it can only parry and dodge awkwardly, and every contact brings devastating damage!

"End it!!" Zhang Leiyuan's voice was like the pronouncement of death.

The domineering Charizard's eyes flashed with incandescent light. It pulled its right fist back, and the platinum-gold flames, condensing all its power and fury, instantly compressed into a blinding point of light. Then—

"Boom——!!!"

Like a volcanic eruption! A massive fist of fire slammed into the crossed arms of the Dream Song Cactus!

"Snap! Pfft—!"

The withered wooden arm was completely shattered! The fiery fist continued its momentum, striking the core of the Dream Song Cactus's trunk squarely!

The dark green figure was struck as if by a battering ram, flying backward like a cannonball amidst a shrill scream and a sky full of burning wood chips and charcoal, crashing heavily into the dense jungle behind it!

A series of loud crashes as trees snapped rang out, sending plumes of smoke and burning leaves soaring into the sky!

At the edge of the jungle, the figure draped in a dark black hooded cloak and wearing a strange black and white spiral mask was finally fully revealed.

He seemed completely unconcerned about the severe injury to the Dream Song Cactus, and didn't even glance in that direction.

He simply strolled out of the shadows of the dense forest, his steps unhurried, and he even clapped lightly.

"Crack...crack...crack..."

The applause sounded particularly jarring on the now-silent island.

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant." A deep, hoarse voice came from behind the mask, carrying a nauseating mockery and admiration.

"As expected of China's border defense champion, he was able to unleash such amazing power even in such dire circumstances. This willpower, this 'bond' with Pokémon, is truly... awe-inspiring."

Zhang Leiyuan remained with his back to him, not even fully turning his body, as if the person behind him was nothing more than a noisy mosquito. His cold voice carried clearly in the sea breeze:

"The rats of the Temple of Creation should stay in the sewers forever, eking out their own death." His words were filled with undisguised contempt. "Take one more step and I wouldn't mind sending you back to the stinking ditch where you belong right now."

The spiral mask paused slightly, seemingly surprised that Zhang Leiyuan had revealed its identity so readily, but then let out a low chuckle of ambiguity.

He did indeed stop and did not continue to approach, but his gaze beneath the mask was as cold and sinister as a venomous snake, fixed on Zhang Leiyuan's back.

The dominant Charizard roared, its fiery dragon eyes fixed on the mysterious figure, its violent pressure crashing down like a tangible wave of fire, a clear warning.

The messenger from the Temple of Creation stopped; he was waiting.

Waiting for the final force that will decide the outcome—the arrival of the five champions!

Rumble…

On the distant sea, the terrifying energy turbulence that had been ignited by the Mega Electric Dragon unleashing its potential and using its life as a medium—an energy capable of annihilating everything—finally subsided and dissipated.

It revealed the huge crater blasted out below and the still surging waves.

Five figures exuding powerful auras, along with their main Pokémon, broke through the remaining energy storm and waves, like death gods, rapidly approaching the isolated island!

Kim Hyun-woo (Mega Salamence)

Kim Jae-hoon (Mega Absolu)

Chiyuki Suzuki (Mega Mouth Kid)

Park Chang (Armored Bird)

Kameda (Mega Bulbasaur)

Their faces bore a heavy, deep-seated hatred, especially Suzuki Chiyuki and Kim Jae-hoon, along with a hint of cold indifference as if the situation had already been decided.

Park Chang and Kameda's eyes revealed an undisguised mocking and cruel pleasure, as if they were watching a beast that had fallen into a trap and was covered in wounds struggle in its final moments.
