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

"Roar-!!!"

Just as Regischiru's cold steel body and the tornado's raging wind wings stirred the world into a doomsday furnace, a dragon roar, far more powerful and ancient than before, erupted like thunder and fire accumulated over millennia!

It's the Thunder Drum!

The clear sky and blazing sun seemed to infuse it with boundless divine power. Its enormous body was like a red-hot iron, and the lightning patterns on its body and the crimson flames flowing between its mane were so intense that they were almost blinding!

The air crackled and popped from the intense heat, and the ancient, vibrant power, supported by its formidable foundation, finally came to fruition.

The final, complete transformation—a soul-shaking experience, a significant boost to special attack stats, and energy surging like molten lava within its ancient shell!

This dragon's roar was the horn of ancient thunder! A visible sonic wave, mixed with crimson-gold thunder and fire, exploded out like a world-ending tsunami, with the Thunder Drum at its core!

“Buzz——!!!”

The space shook violently, like fragile glass!

Regischiru's steel-type Kamui, heavy as an abyss and capable of crushing mountains, seemed to be struck head-on by an invisible divine hammer!

Seven crimson dots flashed wildly, and the massive metal body emitted a piercing metallic scraping sound. It slid back half a step, and the reef beneath its feet instantly turned to dust!

The storm vortex caused by the tornado cloud was torn open by this tyrannical sound wave, creating a huge rift!

The sharp eagle cry was swallowed back down its throat, turning into a muffled groan of shock and anger!

The magnificent wings fluttered wildly in the shockwave, and the newly formed storm field was violently torn open, creating a brief but deadly vacuum!

The power of its roar actually suppressed the raging flames unleashed by the two divine beasts working together!

Under the clear sky, the ancient Pokémon, empowered by ancient vitality, finally revealed its power, enough to shake even the legendary Pokémon!

Zhang Leiyuan and Li Xingeng's eyes met briefly in the air, like two drawn swords colliding and sparking invisible flames!

Without a word, a shared thought instantly formed in their minds, like a lighthouse in the darkness—the battlefield must be divided!

This is the only way out in this desperate situation! Only by cutting the enemy apart can we break the deadlock of being surrounded and make the most of every bit of our strength!

This was a last resort, as Rotom, with its versatile attributes, and Ampharos, the strongest beast below the legendary level, in Zhang Leiyun's team had lost their ability to fight.

Mega Charizard X, with the blessing of sunny weather, is the absolute main force to fight Zarude and should not be easily withdrawn!

The remaining Pokémon of Champion rank or higher are only Drummer and the unreleased Alolan Raichu and Dratini.

However, once the old dragon's "weather-independent" ability is released, it will immediately negate this crucial sunny weather, greatly reducing the power of Li Xingeng's main fire-type attack!

Therefore, they must act separately from Li Xingeng!

Li Xingeng's thoughts were equally clear: the Flame Lion was his absolute core! And the scorching hot Master Ball in his hand would be the ultimate trump card to break the deadlock!

As for the land cloud and tornado cloud, they are Kim Jae-hoon's henchmen, and at this moment they are forming a deadly noose together with Sarud and Regischiru!

Lei Yuan must be sent to sever the "divine cloud" that is stirring up trouble in South Korea!

With the blessing of clear skies, Lei Yuan's Thunder Drum posed a deadly threat to Tornado. Although the Ground-type Landorus could effectively resist Electric-type attacks, a stalemate could be achieved as long as the situation was settled.

The optimal solution would be for Li Guanjun to quickly defeat Regischiru and Zarude, who are countered by fire-type attacks, and then combine his forces to defeat the two Divine Clouds.

“Lei Yuan!” Li Xingeng’s voice was like the clash of metal, resolute and decisive.

"Leave that madman Zarud and Sakura's Regischiru to me! And those two 'divine clouds' floating in the sky, you're in charge!"

"Good! That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!"

Zhang Leiyuan's eyes were blazing with a frenzied fighting spirit, and without the slightest hesitation, his right hand shot out like lightning, sending two Poké Balls hurtling out like meteors!

"Bang! Bang!" A burst of white light erupted, and two agile figures made a sudden appearance!

The Great Electric Petrel! Its streamlined body, with its yellow and black stripes, resembles a spirit born from a storm. The edges of its broad wingspan gleam with a cold, razor-sharp light, and its tail feathers are like two short daggers poised to strike!

It let out a clear, resounding cry that pierced through the clouds and split rocks, its wings flapping fiercely, the swirling air carrying an indomitable spirit!

Alolan Reichu! Beneath its deep brown fur surges a powerful electrical current, and the electric sacs on its cheeks glow blindingly!

The most astonishing thing was its huge, flat, surfboard-like tail! When the end of the tail touched the electric field on the ground, which was still jumping with golden arcs of electricity formed by the residual power of Mega Electric Dragon.

"Sizzle—BOOM!!!"

A dazzling golden bolt of lightning shot up from the ground like a living thing, instantly enveloping the entire Alola Raichu!

Surf Tail ability activated!

Under the powerful resonance of the electric field, its speed instantly soared! Wrapped in raging golden electric snakes, it seemed to transform into a brown phantom that roamed freely through the pool of lightning!

Its terrifying speed made it impossible for anyone on the battlefield to track its trajectory; even divine beasts were left behind in that instant!

At this moment, it is the undisputed "King of Speed" in this sea area!

"Let's go! Target—the scruffy birds and muddy clouds in the sky!"

Zhang Leiyuan let out a low roar and leaped onto the broad back of the giant seagull like a hawk.

Sensing the trainer's surging fighting spirit, the giant electric sea lion unleashed even greater power from its wings, shrieking as it tried to tear through the encirclement and rush straight towards the swirling tornado cloud!

"Don't even think about it!" Suzuki Chiyuki's icy rebuke was like a polar wind, instantly freezing the air!

She would never allow Zhang Leiyuan, the most threatening of them all, to escape the direct confrontation with Regischiru with that terrifying Thunder Drum!

"Sarud! Leave him here!" Mad Vine's hoarse voice carried a cruel pleasure, like a viper spitting its tongue.

"Regischiru—Gravity!" Chiyuki Suzuki's command was like a cold judgment!

On the smooth metal surface of Regischiru's upper body, three crimson dots suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!

An invisible yet overwhelming superpower, like a collapsing sky dome, crashed down on the area where Zhang Leiyuan and Da Dian Haiyan were!

"Eh-?!"

The sharp cry of the giant petrel instantly turned into a painful wail! It was as if countless invisible chains had bound every single one of its feathers in an instant!

The air was no longer a light and airy companion, but had turned into a thick and heavy mercury swamp! The wings that were flapping with all their might became extremely sluggish, and every struggle consumed a huge amount of energy. The whole body felt as if it was being grabbed by a giant hand, and it plummeted downwards uncontrollably!

The gravitational field distorted the light, making that space look like an invisible vortex, mercilessly dragging the bird into the abyss! Zhang Leiyuan felt his body suddenly sink, as if he were carrying a mountain on his back, almost crushed by the bird's back!

At the same time, Zarude let out a savage roar!

Its newly regenerated vine whip, covered in thick black resin and shimmering with a deadly venomous light, tore through the air like a hellish dragon, lashing out fiercely at Mega Charizard X and Moltres, which were locked in combat with its main body!

This attack was ruthless and cunning, with a flash of dark green poisonous light. Its purpose was not to inflict serious damage, but to force them to defend, creating greater chaos and openings!

Charizard X roared and swung its claws to block, while Moltres nimbly dodged to the side, both of them losing their rhythm due to the sudden attack!

In that chaotic, lightning-fast moment, Zarude's other intact vine whip, like the most insidious venomous snake, took advantage of the gravity field and the moment when Charizard X and Moltres were restrained, to silently and swiftly coil towards the claws of the falling Giant Electric Swallow!

The dark vines surged with malevolent energy. Once entangled, the deadly poison and terrifying brute force would instantly end its flight, dragging it into Zarude's gaping maw of fangs dripping with foul saliva!

"Damn it!" Li Xingeng witnessed this intricate and vicious trap, and a surge of fury rose to the top of his head!

The perfect teamwork between Kuang Teng and Suzuki Chiyuki instantly pushed Zhang Leiyuan, who was trying to break the deadlock, to the edge of a cliff!

"Your opponent is me!!"

Li Xingeng's roar was like a volcano that had been suppressed for ten thousand years finally erupting, containing a fury that could burn the entire world!

Fire-type trainers are known for their fiery tempers; they'll fight to the death at the slightest provocation.

He held nothing back, and with all his might, he hurled the ball, which was already scorching hot as if he were holding a Master Ball, into the sky!

"唳——!!!!!!"

A majestic cry, seemingly capable of igniting the soul and tearing apart the heavens, resounded throughout the world as the Master Ball was activated!

Instead of a blinding burst of light, a condensed, intensely red pillar of light, as fiery as the core of lava, appeared.

Like a torrent of flames rushing against the heavens, it crashed into the thick clouds above, which had been scattered by the thunderous drums and stirred up into chaos by the tornado clouds!

The red light did not dissipate, but instead exploded and spread violently deep within the sea of ​​clouds! In an instant, the surging dark clouds were stained with a layer of boiling, flowing blood!

It was as if the entire sky had been thrown into a giant furnace, and the clouds themselves had turned into burning charcoal!

The unimaginable high temperature instantly evaporated the water vapor rising from the sea surface. The air twisted and exploded due to the extreme heat, emitting a dying groan. The entire sea area was as if it were being roasted on a blazing inferno!

Deep within the clouds, painted crimson like a painting of purgatory, shrouded in churning heat and flowing, molten gold-like flames, the outline of a huge, hazy wing appeared and disappeared amidst the rising steam!

An ancient, sacred majesty, transcending all understanding and capable of burning everything and causing souls to tremble in the heat, crashed down from the heavens like an invisible tsunami of flames!

Although its true form was firmly shrouded by churning crimson clouds and surging waves of destructive heat, the mere glimpse of its aura was enough to make every living being on the battlefield feel the apocalyptic heat and oppressive force deep within their souls!

The vine formed from grass-based energy in Zarud seemed to be countered by something, and it began to spontaneously combust...
