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

Let's rewind to half an hour ago...

Between the sea and the sky, the battle between the Thunder Drum and the two divine clouds was extremely fierce. The wind howled, and the lightning collided constantly with the energy of the ground.

Their battlefield was very close to the area where the North Wind God had awakened, and the water energy in this location was unusually active.

Zhang Lei stood atop the giant electric goat, his brow furrowed. The enemy's coordination was extremely difficult to deal with.

"Tornado, tailwind!" Kim Jae-hoon gave the first order.

Thanks to the Mischievous Heart ability, the Tornado Cloud's tailwind is generated almost instantly, with a strong airflow surrounding the Land Cloud and itself, causing their speed to increase dramatically.

"Land Cloud, Power of the Earth!" Jin Xuanyu's attacks came one after another.

The earth cloud's heavy hooves stomped through the void, not directly on the ground, but rather drawing upon the immense earth energy hidden deep beneath the seabed!

Suddenly, the sea surface beneath the Thunder Drum and the Giant Electric Petrel bulged up, and a torrent of scorching dark red energy burst forth from the sea like an awakened volcano, carrying the power to shatter everything and crashing into them!

"Great Electric Seagull, ascend rapidly!"

"Thunder Drum, 100,000 Volts to withstand!"

Zhang Leiyuan issued the order at lightning speed.

The giant electric gull narrowly missed the edge of the energy field as it ascended.

The Thunder Drum roared, releasing thick arcs of electricity that collided with the power of the earth. In a deafening roar, the energy was violently annihilated.

The land cloud was forced to retreat, clearly suffering a loss in the direct confrontation of energy.

Because the Thunder Drum has already activated the Ancient Active trait, which increases the base stats of the race rather than the ability stats, it will not recover in a short time, rather than disappearing when the Sunny Day is lost.

Furthermore, after increasing the Special Attack value, it can further increase the Special Attack value by six levels, which is a relatively overpowered way to improve it.

In addition, Landorus is not good at special attack moves, and it cannot use physical attack moves like Earthquake on the vast ocean.

Therefore, when facing off against special attack moves head-on, Thunder Drum is in no way inferior.

But that's not all! "Tornado cloud, blow it away!" Kim Jae-hoon said with a sinister smile.

Once again, the tornado cloud used the [Mischievous Heart] to stir up a strange and strong wind with its wings. This wind was not used for attack, but contained a powerful force of repulsion!

The Thunder Drum felt an irresistible force acting on it, trying to forcefully push it away from the battlefield and disrupt its attack rhythm!

"Hold on!"

Zhang Leiyuan shouted, and the Thunder Drum was surrounded by bursts of lightning, forcibly resisting the effect of being blown away, but his movements were obviously stiff for a moment.

"Now! Land Cloud, Rockfall!"

Countless enormous rocks, manipulated by the earth cloud, coalesced and, taking advantage of the moment when the Thunder Drum was stunned, crashed down like a meteor shower!

Zhang Leiyuan is facing the biggest trouble since the start of the war: the various transformation skills of the Tornado Cloud.

The harassment and weakening effects of the Tornado Cloud, coupled with the opportune and fierce attacks of the Land Cloud, kept him and the Thunder Drum busy, forcing them to constantly defend and dodge, facing numerous perilous situations. The scales of victory seemed to be tipping in their favor.

"This can't go on..." Zhang Leiyuan's gaze swept across the battlefield, finally settling on the tornado cloud that was constantly circling and harassing the area with the help of the wind.

"We have to deal with that annoying guy first! Alola Reichu!"

Alola Reichu, which had been moving at high speed across the electric field, waiting for its chance, immediately understood.

"Smear your cheeks!"

Alolan Raichu unleashed the ultimate speed granted by its "Surf Tail" ability, transforming into a golden bolt of lightning and instantly closing in on the greatly accelerated Tornado at an incredible angle!

Its adorable cheek, brimming with electricity, gently brushed against the base of the tornado's wing with a soft "smack"!

Paralysis status triggered!

"What?! What?!" Kim Jae-hoon was shocked!

The tornado's peak state was instantly halted by this sudden paralysis, causing its body to stagger in mid-air, its movements becoming stiff and sluggish!

The benefits from the tailwind are still there, but its own body can't keep up with the pace!

"A golden opportunity! Thunder Drum!"

Zhang Leiyuan was waiting for this fleeting, perfect opportunity created by Alola Rechu!

"Thunder!"

【Thunderbolt】—An Electric-type Special Attack move with a power of 70 and a priority of +1! It is an extremely rare Electric-type priority move! Currently, it is also the only Electric-type priority move!

The Thunder Drum didn't even need to adjust its posture; it struck the very moment when the tornado cloud, paralyzed, revealed a huge opening.

A lightning bolt, so condensed and fast that it left only a blur, burst forth from its tip, striking the tornado cloud with perfect precision!

"Clap!"

Outstanding effect!

"Roar!!"

The tornado cloud let out a shrill scream as the intense pain and numbness from the lightning instantly spread throughout its body, causing its wings to twitch.

Unable to maintain flight any longer, its massive body, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted erratically towards the sea!

The battle turned in an instant! Zhang Leiyuan relied on Alola Raichu's crucial interference and Thunder Drum's exclusive priority move.

Having successfully eliminated the opponent's support core, the Tornado Cloud will be unable to pose a threat, at least for the time being!

Kim Hyun-woo and Kim Jae-hoon's faces turned ashen; their greatest advantage had vanished.

However, just as Zhang Leiyuan was preparing to press his advantage and sweep away the Earth Cloud—

High above in the clouds, a violent, wild, and ominous dragon-like pressure descended like the eyes of a colossal beast from the abyss!

A deep, dark purple, compressed dragon energy, like a venomous snake from the shadows, tore through the clouds with terrifying power at the master level.

The precise and ruthless attack landed on the Thunder Drum, which had just finished its burst of power and was in a state of brief exhaustion!

"boom!!"

“Roar!!”

The Thunder Drum let out a painful howl, its scales shattered and arcs of electricity crackling as it was struck by the pure dragon energy. Its massive body crashed heavily onto the sea, creating towering waves!

Although it struggled to resurface, it was clearly injured!

"Who?!" Zhang Leiyuan was both surprised and angry, and suddenly looked up.

As the clouds parted, a gigantic, eerie pale green dragon, with dark red vein-like patterns shimmering on the edges of its wings and ear canals, slowly descended.

The energy fluctuations it emitted had clearly reached the master level!

On its back stood a blond, blue-eyed man wearing a black high-tech combat suit, with a cold face and a slightly cynical smile.

Upon seeing this person, Zhang Leiyuan instantly understood the mastermind behind everything! Rage burned in his eyes!

"Arthur Kirkland!"

Zhang Leiyuan's voice was icy cold as he said, "The so-called champion of defection from the United States has indeed been doing these despicable things for the United States all along!"

He knew the other party's background well—nominally a defector, but actually a black glove for the United States to handle shady affairs, because his signature Pokémon, Shiny Noivern, was too obvious.

It was impossible for him to hide his identity, so he might as well leave the United States under the pretext of defection.

Even if this defector champion has a conflict with other countries, those countries cannot use this as a pretext to demand an explanation from the United States. They can easily distance themselves from the situation once something goes wrong.

Arthur Kirkland, the nominal "champion of defection," wore a contemptuous sneer on his face.

"Hehe, Zhang Guanjun, don't put it so harshly. I'm just a free mercenary; I work for whoever pays me. But... your strange Thunder God is worth a trip for me."

Arthur Kirkland's flippant words still echoed in the air, carrying a sense of superiority that came from complete control.

However, what responded to him was not Zhang Leiyuan's roar, but the raging thunder from the ancient times, which was completely enraged by the Thunder Drum!

"Roar—Awooo—!!!"

The Thunder Drum, which had been suppressed and even ambushed, could no longer endure it!

No more hiding my talents!!

The majesty of a master-level legendary beast, combined with the primal wildness of an ancient species, erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years!

Every lightning pattern on its ancient armor shone with a dazzling, almost incandescent light!

The thunderclouds in the sky were drawn together by the divine intervention, and the sky seemed about to collapse!

"Thunder Drum!" Zhang Leiyuan's voice seemed to merge with the roar of the Thunder Drum, filled with an undeniable determination. "Dragon Hammer!"

Dragon Hammer! A Dragon-type physical attack move with a power of 90. This can be considered a semi-exclusive move for Thunder Drum.

Because besides Thunder Drum, only Exeggutor can use this move.

At this command, the massive head of the Thunder Drum, covered in thick hair, suddenly rose up!

The immense dragon energy, mixed with its own thunderous divine power, was being compressed and condensed at an unprecedented speed between the jagged horns on its head!

It doesn't take shape slowly, but manifests instantly!

An enormous ancient warhammer, entirely composed of raging, electric blue dragon energy, seemed to have been forged directly from a thunderous purgatory. With terrifying power, it tore through space and smashed fiercely towards the Flash Sonic Dragon high in the sky!

Wherever the dragon hammer passed, the air exploded under its strain, and even the light was distorted and swallowed up!

Arthur Kirkland's contemptuous smile froze instantly, replaced by a look of astonishment: "A desperate struggle! Sonic Dragon, Dragon Pulse!!"

"Roar…"

The Flash Sonic Dragon also sensed the deadly threat, letting out a sharp hiss. It opened its huge mouth and spewed out a dark purple dragon wave that was thicker and more condensed than before, like a roaring demonic dragon, heading towards the Thunder Hammer!

"boom!!!!!!"

The collision of the two ultimate dragon-type energies produced an earth-shattering roar!

However, the result made Arthur Kirkland's pupils shrink!

His Dragon Pulse, unleashed at full power by the Sonic Dragon, was easily shattered and annihilated like fragile glass before that Dragon Hammer, which contained the endless fury of the Thunder Drum!

The dragon hammer's momentum had weakened considerably, but with its remaining force, it struck the Shining Sonic Dragon's massive wings, which were blocking its attack, with solid force!

"boom!!!"

A dull, thud that made your teeth ache rang out!

"Ouch!!"

The Flash Sonic Dragon let out a painful howl, as if its incredibly hard wing bones were about to be shattered by this hammer blow!

Its massive body was utterly unable to withstand the terrifying impact, as if it had been struck by a giant wheel traveling at full speed.

It flew backward in a sorry state, tumbling several times in the air before barely managing to regain its balance. Its wings were trembling violently, clearly indicating that it had suffered a serious injury.

Arthur Kirkland stood on the back of the sonic dragon, gripping its wings tightly. He swayed slightly, and the astonishment on his face had completely turned into a dark rage and a hint of disbelief.

Since Shiny Noivern reached Master-level strength, it has never been this badly defeated, even when facing legendary Pokémon.

He never expected that this strange-looking thunder god could unleash such terrifying power beyond the norm when enraged!

Below, Zhang Leiyuan rode the Great Electric Seagull, his robes fluttering in the sea breeze. His eyes were as cold as ice, and his aura, far from weakening due to this outburst, became even more surging and passionate!

"White-haired pig! Prepare to die!"

The Thunder Drum beside him raised its head again. Although its breathing was a little heavier, the fighting spirit burning in its thunderous eyes was even more intense!
