The air was continuously compressed under the force of Rage Fist, layer upon layer, filling the entire space with an overwhelming sense of oppression.
“Protect!”
Faced with such a powerful Rage Fist, Julian dared not be careless.
ltal didn’t have ti to get back on its feet, but it could still use Protect even while lying down.
Rage Fist slamd against the protective barrier, like a teor crashing into an overturned energy shield. The mont they collided, a terrifying shockwave exploded outward in all directions.
The air was filled with violent roars, one after another.
Yet, despite the force of the impact, the Protect remained unbroken.
The red, fla-like aura around Rage Fist began to dim, and its power was instantly halved.
“Flash Cannon!”
Before Protect faded, ltal turned its massive body and fired a silver-white beam of light from its head.
Flash Cannon struck Priape square in the abdon, driving it backward and slamming it into the top of the protective barrier. The continuous energy beam caused Priape to let out a pained screech.
It struggled to break free, but the impact force of Flash Cannon was too overwhelming—it couldn’t escape.
As the Flash Cannon finally ended, Priape crashed heavily to the ground, Julian thought the battle was over. However, in the next second, Priape trembled and staggered back to its feet.
When it ca to willpower, Fighting-type Pokémon were undoubtedly in a league of their own.
“You did amazing, Priape! I’m so proud of you!”
Bruce, the muscle-bound man, was unexpectedly brought to tears.
Watching this scene made Julian shudder. 'Does this guy have so kind of issue? Is that kind of reaction really necessary?'
“Priape, show them our fighting spirit—Reversal!”
A forty-year-old man, yet his words were as dramatic as a teenager’s.
Cringey as it was, Julian didn’t dare let his guard down.
[Reversal: The lower the user’s HP, the more powerful the move.]
Seeing Priape’s battered state, its HP was clearly near rock bottom. That ant the Reversal’s power would be monstrous.
Just as Julian expected, once Priape used Reversal, its aura surged to the level of a peak Elite Pokémon, nearly reaching pseudo-champion.
A powerful sense of pressure radiated from its entire being.
ltal felt as though the air around it had beco abnormally heavy, almost like liquid rcury.
Protect would probably no longer work.
After all, Julian knew his luck.
“ltal, High Horsepower!” Julian commanded.
ltal charged forward like a wild behemoth, its heavy footsteps causing the ground to quake, each step accompanied by a resounding roar.
The two moves clashed head-on.
BOOM!!
The deafening sound of the collision rang out, so loud that even through the protective barrier, Julian’s ears were left buzzing.
At the mont of impact, both Pokémon were sent flying backward.
However, ltal quickly stabilized itself after being blown back dozens of ters. While, Priape slamd into the protective barrier with a heavy thud.
This ti, Priape didn’t get back up.
“tal!”
Having defeated its opponent, ltal struck a bodybuilder-like pose, flexing its arms triumphantly, though its body was still marked with so battle wounds.
Before ltal could flaunt any further, Julian recalled it into its Poké Ball.

Julian’s second Pokémon was the dominant, Totem Aggron, and currently it stood at nearly seven ters tall.
Previously, it had been around 6.5 ters, but over the past three months, it had grown to its current height.
However, its growth rate had slowed significantly. It would likely stop growing soon, reaching its final size.
Totem Aggron, with its massive fra, exuded a crushing sense of pressure simply by standing still. Combined with its fierce and nacing appearance, it was enough to make timid Pokémon lose their will to fight on the spot.
Bruce’s expression grew serious as he sent out his second Pokémon.

Hariyama might not have even been half as tall as Aggron, but its broad hands could unleash incredible force.
With a single palm strike, it could send a ten-ton truck flying.
In other words, Hariyama was fully capable of sending Aggron soaring with just one powerful slap—after all Aggron didn’t weigh anywhere near ten tons.
Hariyama swung its massive, fan-like hands casually through the air a few tis, creating a sharp whooshing sound with each motion.
“Aggron, Stone Edge!”
Julian was the first to launch an attack.
Aggron stomped its left foot heavily onto the ground, and in an instant, jagged stone pillars burst out from the earth, surging toward Hariyama.
“Hariyama, Arm Thrust!” Bruce commanded.
Hariyama swung its broad hands forward, striking the oncoming stone pillars. Its powerful, calloused palms shattered each one into rubble.
Advancing with a series of heavy swings, Hariyama steadily closed the distance between itself and Aggron.
“Keep using Arm Thrust!”
Arm Thrust was a continuous move, but unlike Rollout, its power didn’t increase over ti.
“tal Claw!”
As Hariyama pushed forward, Aggron raised its claws, now coated in dense, steel-type energy.
The shimring claws clashed repeatedly with Hariyama’s Arm Thrust. The two Pokémon seed evenly matched, neither was pushed back.
However, the ground beneath them didn’t hold up nearly as well, the rocky terrain fractured and splintered with every impact, and in the next mont, the powerful shockwaves pulverized the stone into dust.
“Hariyama, Force Palm!”
Realizing that Arm Thrust alone wasn't enough to push back Aggron, Bruce quickly changed tactics.
Despite its stocky build, Hariyama’s movents were fluid and agile—typical of fighting-types.
Even if it looked like a bulky heavyweight, it moved with the nimbleness of a seasoned martial artist.
The transition between moves was seamless, flowing as smoothly as water.
Force Palm struck Aggron square in the abdon, and the powerful force tried to hurt Aggron from the inside.
But it's a pity that Aggron’s defense was nearly maxed out.
In Secret Realm No. 98, ga Aggron had withstood the combined assault of over a dozen Elite Pokémon—so of them even at the peak of the Elite tier.
