Primary confrontation between strength and strength!
"Arcanine incapacitated!"
In the huge arena, the referee suddenly raised the flag high, and the loud voice broke the deathly silence.
After a moment, when the Arcanine Poke Ball logo suddenly appeared on the large screen, the entire Square Garden exploded instantly.
"Damn it,
"Report! Bruce will fall first!"
"Ah, my favorite Gardevoir!"
"Gardevoir also took a lot of damage, and Liam's second Pokemon will be crucial."
Viewing area of the Metropolitan University team,
All the members of the school team didn't shout as loudly as the rest of the audience, and their reactions were relatively calm.
The main reason is that both players are team members from the school, and it is hard for them to completely favor one side.
Only Surge smiled from the corner of his mouth to his ears and clapped vigorously: "Bruce is incredible!"
The gym-level trainer, William, looked at Gardevoir's figure from a distance and couldn't help but say: "The competition condition is not very good."
Agatha and Colin also saw this issue, but their expressions remained the same, their eyes calm.
The first Pokemon that could defeat Liam, Bruce already has the advantage, and the rest is to gradually expand that advantage and turn it into a victory.
On the battlefield,
Liam raised his hand to recall the Arcanine that had fallen to the ground, then lowered his gaze and softly said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Then, he looked at Bruce and said slowly: "Brother, I want to see how you deal with my second Pokemon."
He paused, took the second Poke Ball from his waist, and threw it into the sky with piercing eyes:
"Go, Rhyperior!"
Boom!
"Rhyperior" fell to the ground with a flash of red light, as if the entire battlefield trembled for a moment.
The audience was stunned, their eyes wide, their bodies leaning forward as they looked at the huge Rhyperior, resembling a monster, that landed on the field.
Rhyperior's body is mainly black and orange, the metal protector is integrated with the bones, the body is robust and strong, and there's a Horn Drill on the bridge of its nose.
Liam's Rhyperior is of an astonishing size, a full circle bigger than ordinary Rhyperiors, and the muscles that contain explosive power shine with a black and golden glow.
[Pokemon: Rhyperior]
Ability: Solid Rock
Qualification: Elite
Level: Lv 49 (Ace)]
Rhyperior, a typical example of exchanging appearance for strength.
Rhyperior is known for its high physical attack and low speed, making it suitable for space-based teams. Even without strengthening, it can still perform well, using sheer power to turn mediocre attributes into sky-defying ones.
On the railing of the stands, Maxwell's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Hmph... Rhyperior is finally here."
In the semifinals, this Rhyperior was severely beaten, which caused a significant psychological shadow on him.
Binning stared fixedly at the imposing Rhyperior and introduced the three people next to him: "Liam's starting Pokemon is Growlithe, and this Rhyperior is the second Pokemon captured by Liam, known for its violent nature when it comes out."
"You also saw Liam's match, Rhyperior's strength is terrifying."
Speaking of this, Bin glanced at the fragile Gardevoir and whispered, "Based on Gardevoir's current condition, it's estimated that it won't be able to withstand a hit."
On the battlefield,
"Brother, you shouldn't be a stranger to this Rhyperior."
Liam spoke calmly, once again lifting his eyes and looking at Bruce fiercely:
"Since its birth, I've been by its side, progressing with it.
"Now, this is going to win me this match."
"Roar!"
Rhyperior raised its head and roared, the deafening sound stunning the audience on both sides of the stands, as if responding to the forbidden words.
Bruce seemed calm and raised his hand to return Gardevoir to its Poke Ball.
Now that Gardevoir had taken so much damage, the failure tolerance against Rhyperior was very low, so it wasn't a smart choice.
His eyes flickered, thinking for a moment, then he threw the second Poke Ball: "Go, Metagross!"
-Metagross!
A white light blossomed, and the silver-white Metagross appeared boldly. Its eyes were scarlet, and its entire body was filled with an aura of excitement, not falling behind in front of Rhyperior.
Metagross' Steel type can effectively contain Rhyperior, and its rough, tough skin is enough to face Rhyperior head-on.
"Let the battle begin!"
Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee lowered the flag and said loudly:
The next moment, both voices sounded at the same time.
"Earthquake!"
"Jump and use Iron Defense!"
[Earthquake]The power of the center is astonishing. If a shockwave is formed, under the impact of the energy, it can affect Pokemon in the air.
And [Earthquake]restrains Metagross twice, which will surely greatly weaken its physical strength.
"Roar!"
Rhyperior clenched its fists tightly like a heavy hammer, striking the ground recklessly. The force suddenly sank, and the earth cracked into pieces in an instant, piercing through the Rock Smash formation.
An explosive power surged from beneath the earth, turning into cracks that spread in all directions, and the entire place was roaring and shaking!
The face of the staff in charge of the site renovation changed slightly.
Countless small stones flew into the air with astonishing power, sweeping almost the entire battlefield.
Metagross' eyes froze, it bent its limbs and flew into the sky at high speed. It immediately increased its altitude, suspended above the dust and smoke, and escaped the terrifying shockwave of the earthquake.
At the same time, the silver-white body radiated a similar glow, completing Iron Defense.
Liam watched this scene, his expression unchanged, as if he had expected Bruce's reaction long ago. Liam said: "Rock Slide."
"Roar!"
When the words hit the ground, Rhyperior looked up at Metagross in the air and let out a furious roar. Then, its eyes widened and huge rocks flew from the ground.
"What?!"
"The number of rocks is a problem!" The commentator suddenly exclaimed.
The next moment, his pupils contracted and he shouted in disbelief: "When Rhyperior used Earthquake, countless rock formations and stones rose from the ground.
"And when Rhyperior uses Rock Slide, these rock formations and stones become the best weapon."
After hearing the commentator's explanation, countless spectators understood why so many huge rocks were flying.
"Damn it, is this the quality of the finals?"
"So Earthquake was just a feint, and no one knew it couldn't cause substantial damage to Metagross."
"The truly lethal move is Rock Slide, with so many rocks attacking at once. Even if Metagross has double resistance to rock, it's still a bit overwhelming."
"This is a high-level battle, each link is closely connected and there's almost no unnecessary command."
Immediately, enormous rocks flew in from all directions, completely surrounding Metagross in the air, making it impossible to dodge!
"Psychic."
Bruce frowned slightly and immediately shouted.
-Metagross!
Metagross' eyes were calm, a faint blue light shone in front of its eyes, and growing psychic energy fluctuations spread from its body to the surroundings.
Metagross used Confusion to control the nearest huge rock, trying to make it fall to the ground.
There were too many huge rocks to be attacked, and Psychic simply couldn't control so many rocks at once.
With a loud 'boom,' a massive rock hit Metagross' back, and Metagross suffered an instant pain, crossing its arms and bracing itself.
Boom!
Large chunks of massive rock completely surrounded Metagross and fell on top of it, producing continuous roars.
Countless spectators looked up one by one, eyes filled with surprise.
"It's over, Bruce is done for," some spectators muttered when they saw this scene.
"Earthquake and Rock Slide are really a good combination," some spectators sighed.
"Metagross with its tough skin can't withstand this type of attack," someone whispered.
A trace of nervousness flashed in Emma's eyes, and she unconsciously clenched her fists.
With a calm face, William sat to the side with his arms crossed and lightly shook his head: "Just this, not enough."
In the sky,
-Metagross!
Accompanied by Metagross' roar, enormous rocks suddenly crumbled, turning into stone shards and falling to the ground one by one.
Looking closely, Metagross' fists flashed with lightning, sparks crackling and an aura of pulsating terror emanating from its entire body.
The commentator jumped and passionately said: "Metagross used Thunder Punch and shattered all the huge rocks."
"Rhyperior, use Rock Wrecker." Liam looked at the nearly unscathed Metagross and said resolutely.
Rhyperior's palms have two holes, each filled with three blocks of rock, and it can tighten its muscles to launch rocks. Sometimes it shoots Geodude, Roggenrola, which forms an interesting symbiotic relationship in the Pokemon world...
Rock Wrecker is surprisingly powerful, but after firing, Rhyperior is frozen for a while.
Compared to the uncontrollability of Earthquake, Rock Wrecker is one of Rhyperior's few ranged attacks
.
There was much discussion in the live broadcast room.
"First the wall, then the Rock Wrecker, and Metagross, with double rock resistance, says 'please hit harder.'"
"No way, Metagross can fly."
"Rhyperior's remote abilities are very few, so we need to find a way to lure Metagross."
On the big screen, Rhyperior's black and golden muscles bulged, and its entire body hit the palm of its hand, aiming at the figure in the air. In an instant, an explosive roar shook the entire place.
Boom!
Propelled by the strength of its muscles, the massive rock exploded in an instant with a Sonic Boom, hitting Metagross, which was defending with its crossed arms. The rock shattered with a 'crack!'
"Hit!"
"Rock Wrecker strikes Metagross with precision!" the commentator passionately said.
But under everyone's watch, Metagross slowly extended its arms, its eyes sharp and it let out a muffled roar at Rhyperior on the ground.
"Didn't you suffer too much damage?" Liam looked up, only to see that there were superficial marks on Metagross' arms, and that was all.
In fact, this is true—Metagross' double resistance to rock, coupled with the enhancement of Iron Defense, makes it reasonable that the effect isn't as strong.
But at this moment, Metagross' offensive round has arrived!
"Metagross—"
Without hesitation, Bruce seized the rigid period of Rhyperior and decisively commanded: "Meteor Mash."
Metagross was like a meteor falling from the sky, its silver-white body shining brightly under the spotlight, darting quickly.
Rhyperior was adjusting its breath when it noticed the sharp whistle, raised its eyes, and the shadow of a fist pierced the air!
-Metagross!
Metagross roared, and its iron fist dragged a long, sharp white light, striking Rhyperior's side face with a 'click.'
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed throughout the arena, and the audience barely dared to breathe.
Rhyperior staggered back a few steps, shaking its large head.
The scars on its face were fierce, and its eyes were cold and cruel.
—"This punch hurts a bit." Maxwell put his hands in his pockets, though smiling, his eyes were very serious.
Meteor Mash is Metagross' signature move, and in addition to its double resistance to rock, it caused considerable damage to Rhyperior.
If they continue being attacked at this level, Rhyperior will be in danger.
Liam looked at it with a serious expression.
The injured Rhyperior suddenly spat out: "Execute!"
Metagross didn't retreat; instead, it stared at Rhyperior in front of it with piercing eyes, never showing any nervousness.
"Metagross—" Bruce said 1.1, "Meteor Mash."
Accompanied by a huge rumble, Rhyperior took heavy steps and immediately spun its body at an astonishing speed.
Meteor Mash unleashed a bright white light and raced toward Rhyperior.
Bruce and Metagross, Liam and Rhyperior. The eyes of both groups of companions, like the four frames on the left and right, blazed simultaneously.
The next moment,
The two Pokemon collided with each other, the ground sank, cracks broke, and rocks protruded.
"How is this possible!" Some spectators stared at the spot in disbelief.
Metagross held Rhyperior's arms with both fists, and an indescribably majestic energy instantly bound it, making it unable to move even an inch closer.
"Roar!"
Rhyperior's face was fierce, and its black-golden muscle arms tensed, showing all the strength of its body.
But Metagross remained motionless, like a silent guard, never retreating.
This is the clash between pure strength, this is the primal, passionate showdown.
"It's incredible that Metagross can withstand Rhyperior's power!" The commentator was astonished.
Rhyperior is a truly powerful Pokemon. Few Pokemon are stronger than it, and it's always been dominant in head-to-head matches.
But at that moment, Metagross not only withstood Rhyperior's powerful force, but it also suddenly launched Meteor Mash, throwing Rhyperior several meters backward!
Boom!
"Ey..."
Rhyperior roared in pain, and its feet opened up two deep trenches!
Suddenly, the entire audience erupted.
