"Zen Headbutt!"
The shockwave had barely settled when Julian's command rang out.
A surge of Psychic energy enveloped tagross's body. With the help of its electromagnetism, its speed skyrocketed.
Boom!!
A sharp pain shot through Tyranitar's abdon as the powerful impact landed. Still reeling from the previous shockwave, its massive body was once again sent flying nearly a hundred ters.
"Tar!"
Digging its heels into the ground, Tyranitar forcibly stopped itself from being pushed back any further. With a deep growl, it launched a ga Punch, its fist roaring through the air with an explosive force.
tagross plumted like a teor, crashing into the battlefield with a deafening impact. The ground trembled as if struck by an earthquake.
Tyranitar glanced down at its own abdon. Despite the tough armor protecting it, cracks had ford where tagross's Zen Headbutt had landed.
A wave of intense pain pulsed through its body—so intense that it almost made Tyranitar throw up its previous al.
Seeing tagross buried in the crater, Tyranitar's eyes glead coldly. It raised its massive left foot, an imnse energy surging through its body.
Stomping Tantrum!
The foot ca crashing down with incredible force. The ground fractured in an instant, pieces of rock protruded from the deepening fissures. Cracks spread outward like a web, and at the center, the earth caved in by dozens of ters.
A violent shockwave erupted, turning shattered stones into fine dust.
"He lost! Uncle, I told you he couldn't beat Grandpa!"
Ethan grinned excitedly. Julian had won two battles in a row, but now he was finally defeated.
And with Tyranitar' strength, defeating the two Pokémon from before must not be a problem.
"Good! Serves him right for bullying my idol!"
The little girl clapped her hands in delight. "Sister, you said he was strong, but he doesn't seem all that impressive to ."
"Considering his age, the fact that he defeated two of gym leader Fred's Pokémon is already remarkable. Even if he loses here, do you really think that makes him weak?" the older woman replied calmly.
Though she was speaking to her sister, her eyes never left the battlefield—or Julian. Sothing about the situation felt off. It didn't seem like it was over just yet.
"Tch, what an act. tagross is about to be stomped to death, and he still won't recall it?" Ethan sneered. Julian remained expressionless, showing no reaction to tagross being pinned down.
That only made him seem even more infuriating.
His words, however, made Frank and the older woman pause.
Julian's face was too calm—if tagross had truly lost, there was no way he would look so indifferent.
"Ty?"
Tyranitar looked down. It had thought the battle was over, but suddenly, a powerful force surged from beneath its foot.
Its left leg was slowly… being lifted.
That guy still wasn't down.
"Tar!"
Realizing this possibility, and feeling the force beneath its foot, Tyranitar imdiately pressed down harder with its left leg, trying to stomp tagross back into the ground.
But no matter how much strength it used, its foot refused to go down any further. Tyranitar clenched its teeth so hard it nearly cracked them, yet all it could do was watch as its left foot was slowly lifted.
Boom!
Before the stunned eyes of the onlookers, Tyranitar—who had been standing firmly—was suddenly flipped over, its massive body crashing heavily into the ground.
From beneath it, tagross slowly rose. A cloud of dust cascaded from its sleek, silver-white body. As the dust settled, tagross stood there—completely unscathed.
"Impossible!"
The older woman's pupils shrank in shock.
Tyranitar's Stomping Tantrum was strong enough to shatter a small mountain, yet tagross had taken it head-on without a single scratch.
Ethan stood with his mouth agape, too stunned to speak.
Only Frank remained unsurprised. As Julian's teacher, he understood better than anyone just how absurd tagross's durability was.
He had explained before—tagross's shiny coloration gave it a unique trait: its natural defense was twice as strong as that of a normal tagross. For most physical attacks, it was like being tickled.
On top of that, its defense had been further enhanced through extensive investnt. Taking Tyranitar's Stomping Tantrum head-on without injury? It actually made sense.
The spectators: 'Makes sense my ass!'
"Tyranitar, ga Evolve!"
Fred sighed inwardly. Julian was far too monstrous. Even after bringing out his ace, he still couldn't take down tagross—forcing him to be the first to use ga Evolution.
As the evolution completed, the battlefield trembled.
Standing there now was ga Tyranitar, even more imposing, ferocious, and powerful than before.
"tagross, ga Evolve!"
ga Tyranitar had reached level 82, which was early pseudo-Champion-level.
Julian wasn't reckless enough to have a peak pseudo-Elite tagross fight an early pseudo-Champion-level opponent.
With ga Evolution, tagross's level increased from 70 to 73.
"He actually forced the old man to use ga Evolution," Frank muttered.
The distance between ga tagross and ga Tyranitar was less than 100 ters.
Fine grains of sand swirled around ga Tyranitar. Within monts, the entire battlefield was shrouded in a raging sandstorm.
Sand Stream had been activated.
The ability had no effect on Rock-, Ground-, or Steel-type Pokémon, but all other Pokémon would take continuous damage in this environnt.
Since ga tagross was a Steel-type, the sandstorm didn't affect it.
Fred knew this, of course, but he still activated Sand Stream—not just to strengthen ga Tyranitar, but also to disrupt ga tagross's vision.
The fine sand constantly struck against ga tagross' body, yet it caused no damage. Instead, it polished its tallic body, making it shine even brighter.
"TAR!"
ga Tyranitar roared. After ga Evolution, both its stamina and energy had recovered to so extent, but more importantly, it had temporarily broken past its previous power limit.
A scorching fla erupted from ga Tyranitar's mouth. The flas clashed with the swirling sand, turning the airborne grains into tiny droplets of molten rock.
From a distance, the battlefield looked like it was engulfed in a fiery rain of magma, swirling within the raging sandstorm.
ga tagross fired a Shadow Ball, intercepting the incoming Flathrower mid-air.
Just as the two attacks collided, a sudden tremor spread across the battlefield.
Using the sandstorm as cover, ga Tyranitar had already closed the distance between them.
It wasn't running—it was using Giga Impact.
Even before the attack landed, the sheer force of the compressed air in front of it pinned ga tagross in place, leaving it with no room to dodge.
Then, like a falling teor, ga Tyranitar's Giga Impact ca crashing down. The ground beneath it crumbled into powder as the force of the attack ripped through the battlefield.
"Protect!"
In this situation, ga tagross had no ti to counterattack, nor could it evade. The only option—the best option—was to use Protect.
"Taunt!"
Fred's voice rang out.
Julian froze for a mont, then looked at ga Tyranitar in shock.
Using Taunt while locked into Giga Impact?
