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

The situation began to swerve towards chaos. The elite team's tight formation showed signs of weakening under the dual pressure of the berserk beast tide and their own Pokémon gradually going out of control.

"Now!" The helmeted man's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he growled at Electric Fury.

"Hahahaha! Good! It should have been done long ago!" Dian Sha let out an excited, strange laugh.

The Night Demon that had been hovering nearby made a move again.

Its enormous single eye locked onto the sturdy prison cart below, and a ghostly claw rose up, slowly but with a tearing force like tearing cloth, and slashed to the side at the location of the prison cart!

"Tsk-!"

A brand new spatial rift, its edges crackling with unstable purplish-black lightning, ignored the thick alloy armor and energy barrier on the outside of the prison van and was forcibly torn open in the cramped space inside!

The crack was initially only the size of a palm, but under the continuous infusion of ghostly energy by the Night Demon, it rapidly expanded as if it were being violently pulled to both sides by two invisible hands!

Through the internal crack, the helmeted man and the electric shocker could clearly see everything inside the prison van.

The guards on both sides were on high alert, including the real Liao Tianhao, who was disguised as an elite and looked dazed, as well as the "Liao Tianhao" who was handcuffed to the central chair, looking "terrified" and seemingly stunned by this sudden supernatural phenomenon!

A surge of ecstasy and unbelievable relief swept through both of them at the same time.

Did it work? !

They bypassed all external defenses so easily and appeared directly in front of the target? Is this all the Huadong champions' setup is capable of?

"Take care of him! Don't give him any chance!" the helmeted man urged urgently.

"I don't need your nonsense! Mama Eel King!" Electric Fiend grinned and waved his hand.

The space around him rippled slightly, and a huge eel-shaped Pokémon, with an eerie dark green body that looked as if it had been soaked in venom, silently appeared.

It has a slender body, a flat head, and a wide-open mouth filled with fine, sharp teeth. Its dorsal and caudal fins resemble tattered flags.

What is most striking is the constant, unstable golden currents that emanate from its body, and its tiny eyes that are completely filled with violent electric light.

Above his head was a shimmering, round stone—a true Mega Evolution Stone.

Moreover, it possesses buoyancy and in the spiritual energy environment, Si Yi floats and swings its body with extraordinary agility, like a fish entering the sea, moving swiftly!

Its color was clearly unusual, exuding an even more dangerous aura; it was a shimmering, shimmering eel king!

"100,000 volts! Maximum power!" The electric shock was directed at the "trembling" "Liao Tianhao" on the other side of the crack.

“Zizizizi——boom!!!”

The dark green eel king suddenly arched its body, and dazzling, almost blinding golden lightning surged and gathered wildly on its body surface, condensing into an extremely unstable ball of lightning in front of its wide-open mouth, so powerful that it distorted the surrounding light!

The next instant, the lightning ball exploded!

A massive beam of lightning, as thick as a bucket and brimming with destructive power, shot straight into Liao Tianhao's chest like a lightning spear hurled by a god. Ignoring spatial distance, it pierced through the rift in the spirit realm and carried the force of purifying everything.

This attack was unrestrained, determined to vaporize it instantly!

The air inside the prison van seemed to be ionized, filled with a burnt smell.

At this critical moment——

"Roar--!!!"

A deep, rumbling roar, like the tremors of the earth, suddenly resounded from behind "Liao Tianhao"! It did not originate from the rift in the spirit world, but from beneath the floor inside the prison van!

"Boom!"

The sturdy, specially made alloy floor suddenly bulged upwards and cracked! A pink giant arm covered in hard mud, like the awakening of a sleeping giant, burst out of the ground and stretched between the golden lightning pillar and "Liao Tianhao" at a speed beyond the reach of sight!

It's a Shiny Swampert!

It had somehow gotten up and was lying in wait right under the prison van!

"Sizzle—Boom boom boom!!!"

The devastating 100,000 volts slammed solidly into Swampert's broad, shield-like arm!

However, the expected carnage or carbonization did not occur. The Swamp Monster growled, its right arm firmly blocking the impact of the lightning bolt, while its left hand slammed into the cracked floor below, making direct contact with the metal chassis of the prison cart.

An astonishing scene unfolded: the raging golden current, upon striking the Swamp Monster, seemed to encounter a flood of its natural enemy.

Following its highly conductive body and the metal-inserted left hand, it was rapidly guided to the chassis of the prison van, and then, through a specially designed alloy frame, it surged into the earth as if it had found the best flood discharge channel!

"Sizzle sizzle—plop..."

Smoke rose from the ground around the prison van, and several small craters appeared, caused by excess electrical energy being channeled underground. The Swampert itself, aside from a few scorch marks on its arm, was completely unharmed!

Ground type, perfectly immune to Electric-type moves!

"what?!"

"Where did this Swamp Monster come from?!"

The helmeted man and the electric demon on the other side of the crack suddenly narrowed their eyes, their ecstasy freezing in an instant, turning into incredulous astonishment.

"We've fallen for their trap!" The helmeted man reacted extremely quickly, almost shouting it out.

"Night Demon! Forget everything else! Drag that swamp monster and Liao Tianhao into the Spirit Realm! Quickly!"

The Night Demon's single eye shone brightly with purple light, and the giant mouth pattern on its chest, which resembled a black hole, suddenly twisted and expanded!

"Woo——!!"

Countless translucent yet incredibly solid shadow tentacles, composed of the purest ghost energy and resentment, burst forth from the "black hole" in its chest like a swarm of venomous snakes emerging from their lair!

These tentacles moved so fast that they left afterimages in the air. Their sharp tips were like spears. They pierced through the cracks in an instant and grabbed at Swampert, which had just withstood 100,000 volts and seemed to be adjusting its posture, as well as "Liao Tianhao" behind it whose disguise had not yet been removed!

Their intention is clear—to forcibly pull them into the spirit world, where it will become their home turf!

Before the tentacles even touched you, the cold, deathly, ghostly aura that seemed capable of freezing your soul already rushed towards you!

In that split second—

"laugh--!"

A blazing, domineering, orange-red line of fire, seemingly capable of burning away all the darkness in the world, like a crimson meteor streaking across the night sky, slashed diagonally down from the damaged top of the prison cart at an even faster speed!

The fire was incredibly precise, striking first even after being delayed, slicing through the shadow tentacles at the last second before they touched their target!

"Awooo—!" The illusory, mournful scream seemed to resound directly at the soul level.

Those dozens of solidified shadow tentacles were instantly severed, ignited, and turned into wisps of smoke by this extremely refined flame strike, just like ice and snow encountering the blazing sun!

The remaining flames even surged upwards, scorching the Night Demon so much that it groaned and withdrew its claws.

The intense heat dispelled the chill inside the prison van, and the firelight illuminated the bulkhead.

A massive figure, exuding unparalleled power and majesty, stood before the rift in the spirit world, completely obscuring the figure of "Liao Tianhao" behind it.

Its entire body is orange-red, its muscles are bulging as if cast from lava, and even when its wings are folded, they cannot hide its breadth. The tip of its thick tail burns with an eternal flame.

It simply stood there, and the scorching and violent dragon's might and fire breath crushed down like mountains, making even the rifts in the spirit realm appear unstable.

The dominant Charizard!

"Holy crap! It's Zhang Leiyuan's Charizard!!"

The voice changer on the helmeted man's device cracked due to extreme terror, producing a sharp and piercing sound.

"Fuck! What is he doing here?!"

(Damn it! How did he get here?!)

Electric Frost was so shocked that he blurted out his native tongue, his eyes behind the yellow mask filled with horror and disbelief. The dominant Charizard was here, so its trainer…

As if in response to their fear—

"Hey!"

Inside the prison van, the "guard" who had been lounging lazily by the hatch from the beginning suddenly moved!

He reached out and grabbed the front of his combat uniform, then yanked it sharply to the sides!

The specially made fiber combat suit was torn and thrown around like paper!

Beneath it lay the champion's attire, a silver-white base adorned with golden lightning and dragon patterns, symbolizing the highest combat power and glory of the Chinese Alliance!

At the same time, he casually took off the ordinary tactical helmet on his head and tossed it aside.

A face with sharp features, weathered yet still exuding an arrogant and domineering aura, was exposed to the interplay of the eerie light emanating from the rift in the spirit world and the crimson glow of the fire-breathing dragon's tail.

A cold and violent smile played on his lips, but his eyes were like ice that had stood for ages, piercing through cracks and nailing straight into the souls of the helmeted man and the electric demon!

The person who arrived was none other than Zhang Leiyuan, the champion of East China!

He disguised himself as a member of the escort team and personally guarded the "bait" like the most patient hunter, finally waiting for the moment when the venomous snake would come out of its hole and show its deadly fangs!

“Haha ...!!!”

Zhang Leiyuan let out a burst of exhilarating laughter, yet it terrified his enemies. His laughter was filled with an overwhelming confidence in his absolute control and a long-suppressed, surging killing intent.

He took a step forward, his aura exploding without reservation, merging with the aura of the dominant Charizard!

He raised his right hand, his index finger pointing straight at the two enemies standing frozen in the crack. His smile vanished abruptly, and his voice, like a thunderous judgment from the heavens, resounded in both the spirit world and reality:

"get ready--"

"—Are you ready to die?!"

"Watch me..."

"With thunder... shatter the darkness!!!"

The final roar, along with a deafening thunderclap, exploded simultaneously!
