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

It remained calm and ruthless in the face of Sidson's relentless offensive.

As the lava storm swept in, Polcanion's massive twin pipes intersected in front of him, unleashing even more condensed and incandescent high-pressure steam jets!

This steam beam was not a single beam, but rather dispersed and coiled like a serpent, actually tearing apart and disintegrating the raging lava storm!

"呲呲呲..."

Steam and flames collided violently, triggering a series of energy explosions that evaporated large swaths of magma into nothingness!

Facing the incoming cannon beam, Polcanion neither dodged nor evaded. It opened its massive yellow beak-like maw, and a more powerful, water-attribute-containing, blazing white breath—hot water—gushed out!

The two energy beams collided in mid-air. The cannon was only held for a moment before it was completely submerged and destroyed by the even more violent steam and hot water!

With its forelimbs raised high, Heatran leaped down and slammed down. From beneath the magma, one after another, solid rocks stained with magma thrust forward, attacking Volcanion.

This is a Rock-type move that incorporates terrain features - Stone Edge. The lava on top of it also has considerable power.

The dense pillars of fire were so powerful that Polcanion didn't even use its main abilities; it simply crossed the two giant steam pipes behind it.

One pipe holds water-based power, while the other holds fire-based power; the two powers collide.

A ring of shockwaves, a mixture of water vapor and flames, erupted from his body, shattering and annihilating all the nearby stone pillars!

"madness!"

A voice like muffled thunder exploded in Zhang Heng's consciousness; it was Bolkenion's disdainful telepathic message towards Sidranion.

"You think you can challenge me just because you've stolen the fire energy here? Let me show you what true power is!"

Before the words were even finished, the halo of light behind Bolkenion reached its peak! It was no longer on the defensive, but had launched a devastating counterattack!

Its enormous arms plunged violently into the sea of ​​lava below!

A shocking scene unfolded—it forcibly propelled and compressed the endless magma, mixing it with the immense water energy within its body.

Beneath its arms, energy fluctuations from the extreme reactions of water and fire constantly occur within the magma, spreading continuously like ripples in real water.

The magma seemed to come alive, boiling and churning incessantly, eventually forming a colossal wave of magma.

"BOOM————————!!!!"

The lava wave was violently unleashed by Volcanion, like a pair of giant hands slamming down on Sidora!

The pupils of the Seadraon contracted sharply as it sensed a deadly threat. It roared and concentrated all its energy in front of it, forming an unprecedented lava barrier!

However, everything is in vain!

The moment the lava wave hit the barrier, a tremendous explosion occurred!

The extreme conflict of fire energy produced destructive energy!

The lava barrier that Shidoran had condensed shattered like paper, and its massive body was violently blown away by the shockwave of the explosion.

Seadra was swept away by the waves, but heard a roar like a steam engine starting up.

"Pfft... hiss..."

In the blink of an eye, Polcanion appeared before it like a steam-powered fighter jet, moving at incredible speed.

One of the giant steam pipes, resembling a long, slender arm, had a metal hook-like structure on top that was firmly embedded in and pressed against the top of Sidson's metal head.

"Pfft... Sizzle..."

Then a dense energy began to gather around him, and scorching steam and gushing water energy continuously washed over Sidson's body.

“Ah…”

Heatran let out a wail as his body was constantly being washed by high-temperature steam. Large pieces of his silver-gray carapace shattered and peeled off, and lava-like blood sprayed out, turning the sea of ​​magma below dark red!

This is not just a crushing defeat in strength, but an absolute restraint in attributes and strength!

“Trash…you are not worthy to fight me…”

Polden has declared victory; now it's time to punish the losers...

"Om-!"

Just as Siddon was critically injured and on the verge of death, his consciousness fading.

A strange chain of energy, woven from aquamarine and fiery red runes, shot out from the ring behind Bolkenion.

Like a venomous snake, it coiled around Heatran's body and finally branded itself fiercely onto it!

Zhang Heng clearly "saw" the moment the shackles were formed, the originally surging aura on Xidorlan's body was about to break through the master-level barrier.

Now, like a punctured balloon, it deflated instantly, its aura rapidly weakening, and was ultimately firmly suppressed at the champion level!

"From now on, you shall linger here in misery, and never again covet the fire power of the core area of ​​the secret message!"

Polcanion's icy voice, like a final judgment, echoed across the shattered battlefield.

The scenes in his memory flashed by quickly. Zhang Heng saw Xiduolanen dragging his broken body, fleeing in a sorry state to this relatively peripheral area, licking his wounds like a wounded beast.

Unwilling to accept defeat, it began to use its remaining influence to gather Fire-type Pokémon from the outside world and perform an ancient ritual.

In an attempt to draw upon the faith and energy of numerous fire-type beings, they gradually try to wash away and weaken the primal shackles that have seeped into their souls...

This is the truth behind the "pilgrimage" scene that Zhang Heng saw earlier!

……

The scene stopped abruptly.

Zhang Heng suddenly opened his eyes, his consciousness returning to reality. Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his chest heaved violently from the lingering effects of that divine battle.

He not only witnessed the battle, but also deeply felt the despair of Sidran in that crushing defeat, as well as the humiliation and indignation of being suppressed and driven away over the long years!

His hand, which was resting on Sidson's skull, unconsciously clenched.

He could vaguely sense that clear, deep-rooted shackle.

Polden clearly also sensed the peculiar divine fluctuation emanating from Zhang Heng, as well as the instantaneous, linguistic connection that had been established between him and Sidonia.

Its blue-yellow pupils suddenly contracted, and the indifference in its gaze turned into extreme vigilance and hostility, as if it were looking at a thief trying to steal its treasure.

"Human...you can actually peek into the memories of a god?!" Polcanion's telepathic communication was filled with shock and intense killing intent.

Zhang Heng slowly withdrew his hand, but his gaze became even more determined and sharp. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb Xidoran's indomitable will into his body.

He met Polcanion's imposing, condescending gaze and said, word by word:

"It is now my partner."

"The shackles you've placed on it should be removed."
