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

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

Zhang Heng was not intimidated by the pressure from the Master-level Legendary Pokémon at all, and simply stated his requirements.

Because he sensed Heatran's resentment, which was the initial manifestation of the power of the Overpower—sensing the memories and emotions of Pokémon!

Zhang Hengming understood everything. Sidora was not born weak; in fact, she was exceptionally powerful.

However, it was suppressed by the more powerful Volcanion, which seized the core area of ​​the secret realm, preventing its strength from increasing and locking its potential.

It gathered a host of Fire-type Pokémon, including Anteater, Lava Snail, and Camerupt, not as a simple act of worship, but as a desperate act of resistance!

He hopes to break free from the shackles that bind him with the power of other Fire-type Pokémon, allowing him to challenge Volcanion once again.

Polden keenly sensed the peculiar divine fluctuation emanating from Zhang Heng, as well as the invisible connection that instantly formed between him and Sidonia.

Its blue-yellow pupils suddenly contracted, and the indifference in its gaze turned into vigilance and hostility, locking onto this seemingly weak yet eerie human.

"Human...you possess strange powers." Polcanion's telepathic message sounded again, carrying a strong warning.

An immense pressure, like a mountain, crashed down on Zhang Heng, causing the surrounding steam to become violent and the temperature to rise sharply.

Zhang Heng showed no fear. Instead, he stepped forward, shielding the weakened Sidora behind him, his eyes icy, and spat:

“tui…”

"Stubborn fool! A frog in a well who only reached the master level by stealing the power of a secret realm, letting you solve this is already giving you face, and you still don't know what's good for you?!"

Before he finished speaking, he swung his arm and hurled a Poké Ball like an arrow into the field!

"Bang--!!!!!"

A heavy, deafening explosion rang out, and thick, hot white steam billowed out like a bomb exploding, instantly spreading outwards!

The space, which was already shrouded in steam due to the presence of Bolkenion, now saw its visibility drop even more drastically, as if it had been plunged into a sea of ​​thick fog.

"Roar--!!!!!"

A desolate, ancient dragon's roar, seemingly traveling through time, pierced through the thick fog of steam, causing the entire space to vibrate and hum!

The pressure and power contained in the dragon's roar were in no way inferior to the two divine beasts present!

Polcanion paused slightly as he ejected steam, his sharp gaze piercing through the mist and locking onto the gradually becoming clearer, massive figure.

The steam slowly dissipated, revealing its presence—a dragon-shaped Pokémon covered in deep blue scales, with a head resembling an ancient warrior's helmet, and white, cloud-like fur growing on its neck, back, and tail.

It was naturally enveloped in moisture and dragon might, its thick tail slamming heavily against the ground, and its red pupils burning with fierce fighting spirit as it fearlessly met Bolkenion's gaze!

Rippling water, here we come!

Two Pokémon, one is an Ancient Paradox species combining Water and Dragon, and the other is a Steam Giant combining Water and Fire.

Scorching steam is their common and signature attack method;

Whether it's sunny or rainy, they can draw strength from it, making them favorites of both weather conditions;

Their bodies contain the dignity and vast energy of mythical beasts.

But before they could launch an attack, an invisible, suffocating sense of oppression began to spread and collide wildly around them!

"Roar--!"

The rippling water was the first to let out a deep dragon roar. Its thick tail slammed heavily onto the ground, and the aura of a champion-level divine beast was released without reservation, advancing forward like a tsunami.

The naturally pervasive moisture around it was drawn in and transformed into a white mist vortex, swirling around its slender body, attempting to carve out its own domain in this space dominated by fire energy.

"Humph!"

Polcanion let out a dull snort, full of disdain.

It didn't even make any obvious movements; the huge circular device behind it simply accelerated its operation slightly, and an even heavier and more violent master-level pressure, like an invisible mountain, crashed down!

This oppressive aura contains absolute power that has been honed over the years, and the arrogance of someone who controls the core power of the secret realm!

"Chichichichi——!"

Two powerful auras clashed and compressed fiercely in the center of the space!

The water vapor ring propelled by the undulating water, upon contact with the oppressive force of Polcanion, which was a mixture of heat and humidity, was as if it had crashed into an invisible wall of copper and iron, its momentum being forcibly stopped and crushed!

The white mist began to evaporate and dissipate violently, and the water vapor field around the rippling water was visibly compressed and forced back!

Its massive body even slid slightly backward a short distance under the impact of this terrifying pressure, carving two shallow furrows in the ground.

The vast difference in skill between champions and masters is clearly revealed in this pure clash of auras!

A hint of seriousness flashed in the dragon's eyes, which were rippling with water, but it still raised its head and stared intently at its opponent, without the slightest sign of backing down.

Zhang Heng frowned deeply; he could feel the immense pressure the rippling water was under.

However, just when the momentum of the surging water was completely suppressed and it seemed to be in imminent danger.

“Duh…”

Zhang Heng snapped his fingers! It was as if he had activated some kind of special mechanism!

In this space, the fire energy that was originally extremely dense and almost entirely biased towards Polcanion suddenly became restless, as if it had been summoned by some ancient and mysterious force!

Strands and wisps of crimson energy no longer surged toward Bolcanion, but instead, like rivers flowing into the sea, converged from all directions toward the rippling water!

These intense fire energies, instead of scorching the water dragon's body, nourished it and continuously flowed into its body!

"Om-!"

An ancient, primal, and vibrant aura suddenly awakened from the rippling water!

Its deep blue muscle lines became more knotted and thicker at a visible speed, as if the hidden power was instantly activated and expanded!

The bushy purple mane around his neck moved without wind, fluttering and dancing like burning purple flames, exuding a terrifying aura!

In its red pupils, ancient runes seemed to flash by. The water vapor surrounding its body was no longer suppressed, but instead formed a strange balance and resonance with the surging fire energy, becoming more solid and turbulent!

Ancient vitality!

Its characteristics were fully activated at this moment by this unusually active fire energy environment!

The power from ancient bloodlines is roaring, and its special attack ability is rapidly increasing!

The momentum that had been crushed by the waves was suddenly injected with a stimulant, and it began to rebound and rise wildly, its combat power reaching the near-master level and approaching the master level!

The compressed water vapor field suddenly expanded, actually withstanding the master-level pressure of Polcanion, and gradually transformed from a one-sided disadvantage into a situation of equal strength!
