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

The aftershocks of the earth-shattering explosion had not yet completely subsided, and the turbulence generated by the energy collision was still hissing and surging in the air.

The two mythical beasts' signature moves: water vapor and the immense power displayed by steam explosions.

After a brief period of extreme brilliance, they canceled each other out and annihilated each other, leaving behind only a desolate and suffocating battlefield ruin.

In this shattered space, fragments of space drifted down like snowflakes, reflecting the solemn figures of the two opposing sides.

This heart-stopping silence was finally broken by Zhang Heng's calm yet powerful voice.

"Rippling waters! Now's the time, Dragon God, dive down!"

“Ouch——!!!”

Upon receiving the order, the rippling water roared to the sky, its roar piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks!

With the unique majesty and ferocity of the dragon race, the sound waves spread out as if they were tangible, causing the surrounding air to ripple with transparent waves.

With this roar announcing the attack, visible indigo dragon energy, like boiling steam, burst forth from every pore of the massive body of the surging water!

This energy did not gently cover, but rather violently coiled and condensed, emitting crackling electric arcs.

In the blink of an eye, the immense dragon energy was no longer just a wisp of flame; it rapidly shaped and solidified in the air.

Ultimately, it transformed into a semi-transparent phantom of an energy dragon, several times larger than the original body of the rippled water!

The dragon's phantom was covered in ferocious scales, with its neck and shoulders covered in huge, shield-like white armor.

A pair of enormous, emotionless dragon eyes burned with eerie blue flames, fixed firmly on Bolkenion in the distance.

It was not a complete physical entity, yet it exuded a terrifying killing intent that sent chills down one's spine. It was a dual pressure of spirit and energy, like the gaze of someone at the top of the food chain.

"This ghostly figure... seems somewhat familiar..."

Zhang Heng stared at the phantom, and the name of a Pokémon popped into his mind.

"Boom..."

The water surged and the four feet stomped on the ground, causing the ground to crack!

Its entire body, enveloped by the majestic and terrifying phantom of the dragon, transformed into a blue torrent of destruction, launching a desperate charge towards Bolkenion!

Dragon Dive is a Dragon-type physical attack move with a power of 100, but its accuracy is not high. When it hits an enemy, there is a 20% chance that the enemy will be intimidated.

However, there is a very interesting setting in the encyclopedia, which describes it as releasing a terrifying killing intent, intimidating and ramming into opponents at the same time.

Therefore, in actual combat, this skill has a special effect, becoming a move that boosts morale.

What's even more chilling is that with each step it takes forward, the dragon phantom becomes more solid, and the killing intent and power emanating from it suddenly increase!

Its momentum is unstoppable, rising higher and higher as if there is no end in sight!

At this moment, the surging waters, with the potential activated by ancient methods and further enhanced by the Dragon God's Dive skill, have reached their peak in terms of fighting spirit and morale.

Although its energy level has not yet truly reached the master level, its resolute will to challenge stronger opponents has already given it the qualifications to shake powerful enemies!

Facing the swooping dragon god carrying overwhelming killing intent, Polcanion's face, made of special metal, showed no emotion whatsoever.

However, seeing the phantom of the dragon gave him a somewhat strange feeling, but the difference in their levels made Bolkenion fearless.

He merely let out a muffled, thunderous snort from his nose:

"Humph!"

It dared not be negligent, its huge body slightly lowered, assuming a posture of gathering strength.

The two iconic, massive red tubes on its back, resembling volcanic craters, rapidly closed and joined together to form a ring amidst a series of clanging mechanical sounds.

From within its body, which was covered in solid metal, came a muffled, thunderous roar, as if molten magma was churning and reacting wildly within it, accumulating destructive power!

"boom--!"

The next moment, a scorching wave of air suddenly erupted from the center of Bolkenion!

Steaming, golden-red flames erupted from every crevice of its body, instantly engulfing its massive form!

Instead of defending, it transformed itself into a burning meteor and unleashed a fire-type physical attack move—Charged Flame Strike!

Facing the roaring energy dragon head-on, they launched a fierce counterattack!

“Rumble——!!!”

Dragon and fire, two extreme energies, the full-force attack of two divine beasts, once again collided fiercely and without any fancy moves in the center of the battlefield!

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

The point where the energy converged emitted a light more dazzling than the sun. Immediately afterwards, a destructive shock wave spread wildly in a ring, lifting the earth layer by layer and crushing it into dust!

The stalemate lasted for less than two and a half seconds.

Burning with intense light, Volcanion withstood the dragon's attack with its unparalleled force!

The phantom of the energy dragon opened its massive maw and bit down hard on Bolkenion's body, attempting to tear it apart and devour it.

However, the flames surrounding Bolkenion were far too domineering, with extreme heat and violent energy constantly scorching and melting away the dragon-type energy.

The surface of the dragon's phantom began to fluctuate violently and evaporate, becoming blurry and unstable, as if it might be completely evaporated at any moment.

“BOOM——!!!”

Finally, with an even more violent and deafening explosion, the phantom of the energy dragon could not withstand the pressure from both inside and outside and shattered!

It transformed into countless indigo light spots and chaotic energy flows scattered across the sky.

Meanwhile, Volcanion, whose core was bitten by the dragon, used the reverse shock force generated by the explosion, along with his superior absolute strength, to violently send the ripples, which had lost their energy protection, flying away!

With a muffled groan, the water rippled and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, leaving a messy trail in the air.

All of this was within Zhang Heng's expectations.

Volcanion is a typical well-rounded dual attacker, with a base Attack stat of 110 and a special Attack stat of an astonishing 120, far surpassing the mere 83 Attack stat of Waterpunk.

Given the objective difference in their levels, it was only natural that Bodangshui would be defeated in a direct clash of forces.

However, thanks to its Water/Dragon type, which grants it four times the resistance to Fire-type moves, Ripple was knocked away.

Although he looked disheveled, the damage he actually suffered was far less severe than it appeared.

Zhang Heng's true purpose was not to decide the outcome with this one strike.

What he wanted was for the surging waters to unleash the indomitable spirit of "I will go even if there are thousands of people against me" through the Dragon God's swooping attack!

Overcoming the enemy with momentum and intimidating others with your spirit can often achieve twice the result with half the effort!

"Waves! Surfing!"

Zhang Heng's instructions flowed smoothly and precisely, like a pre-arranged musical piece.

At this moment, the ripples that had been knocked away were in the process of falling rapidly. Its tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and there was no trace of the confusion of frustration in its eyes, only an even more intense fighting spirit ignited by the dragon god's dive!

At the same time, the water droplet stone slab floating beside it seemed to sense its shared will with its trainer, and suddenly lit up with a soft yet profound blue light.

"Whoa!!!"

It was like a call from the ancient ocean, or like the sea god stirring up his power.

Just as the rippling water was about to crash heavily onto the ground, a sudden change occurred!

Even though the ground beneath my feet was dry and broken, a vast sound of tides suddenly arose!

Endless water elements surged forth from the void and from the water droplets on the stone slabs, instantly converging beneath the rippling water!

A colossal blue wave, over a hundred meters high, rose from the ground like a majestic mountain range rising out of nowhere!

The waves were so magnificent that they seemed to have stood the entire ocean upright!

The waves rolled and churned up thousands of piles of "snow," which were white foam composed of the purest water energy.

The plunging water was gently yet powerfully caught by the towering wave.

Its hind legs are firmly planted on the highest crest of the wave, and its body rises and falls slightly with the surge of the waves, just like a king who personally leads an expedition and commands the entire sea!

This is also a method of controlling surfing that I learned from the master-level Kingdra.

It looked down at the much smaller-looking Pulcanion with a cold gaze.

"Whoosh...whoosh..."

The next moment, a destructive wave a hundred meters high, with a crushing force, crashed down on where Polcanion stood!

It blotted out the sky, leaving no way to escape!

Bolcanion's speed has always been its weakness, and it has no way to dodge this area-of-effect attack that covers almost the entire battlefield.

However, it does not require dodging.

Despite the terrifying attack that resembled a natural disaster, Bolkenion remained as steadfast as a rock.

Its metallic face even revealed a hint of human-like, almost mocking composure.

It simply and steadily raised the massive, converging red columns high, their openings aimed at the crashing waves, as if they were not a destructive attack, but rather a gentle rain from heaven.

The hundred-meter wave, containing terrifying kinetic energy, vanished without a trace the instant it touched Polcanion and its pillars. Its power, capable of destroying cities and fortresses, disappeared as if it had sunk into the sea.

It was as if they had encountered an invisible, bottomless deep-sea whirlpool, where the vast seawater was being frantically and continuously sucked into the two red tubes in a way that defied the laws of physics!

“Drip! Drip! Drip!”

As the seawater was rapidly absorbed, a row of yellow indicator lights on the red column of the Polcanion lit up one after another, flashing a steady but rapid light, as if a fast-forward button had been pressed.

The water-based energy stored within its body is rising at an astonishing rate, rapidly approaching a critical point.

This powerful, terrain-altering attack was effortlessly neutralized by Volcanion's "water storage" ability, leaving not even a ripple.

"I don't believe it! How much can you drink! Water splash! Water cannon!"
