Captain Latveria's Ace! Gym-Level Haxorus!

Upon seeing that Camerupt had lost its ability to battle, Bruce secretly breathed a sigh of relief, ceased enhancing his psychic powers, and felt his heartbeat gradually calm down.

Maintaining psychic enhancement for long periods consumes physical strength and energy constantly. Fortunately, his psychic level had reached mastery, so Gardevoir wouldn't drain him.

"Gardevoir defeated Camerupt!"

"Bruce from Team Avalon is temporarily in the lead!" the commentators from various countries exclaimed enthusiastically.

Suddenly, the atmosphere reached a new peak, and cheers erupted from all directions, akin to a mountain roar and a tsunami.

"Mega Camerupt vs. Gardevoir, what a spectacular showdown!"

"The players on both sides exhibit exceptional command skills; it's thrilling to watch."

"It's over; Bruce continues his dominance."

"If you want to defeat Bruce, you have to look out for the Trainer specializing in Ghost types."

"Are you treating Blaziken like a mere display?"

On the field,

Anton ignored the noisy stadium, focused on Bruce across from him, and smiled: "Not bad."

He immediately raised his hand and recalled the fallen Camerupt into its Poké Ball, falling into brief thought.

Now, he had two Pokémon left, and the order of appearance was crucial.

"Hmm..." Anton pondered for a moment, glanced at Gardevoir, whose condition had deteriorated, and gradually made his decision.

The next moment, he took a Poké Ball from his waist and tossed it into the air: "It's your turn, Dusclops!"

Now that Camerupt had fallen, Dusclops wouldn't be able to assist, and the spatial system had collapsed.

Thus, he would let Dusclops use its remaining heat to try to deal with Gardevoir.

The main point is... His main Pokémon struggled against Gardevoir's Fairy type.

A white light bloomed, and Dusclops reappeared on the field.

Bruce raised his eyes and observed Gardevoir, noticing that its condition had significantly worsened, prompting him to shout: "Shadow Ball!"

As his voice hit the ground, a dark cloud surged towards Dusclops.

"Sneak Shadow," Anton commanded.

As the command fell, Dusclops's deep red pupils glowed, and a strange ghostly energy emerged from its body. Then, it appeared at Gardevoir's feet, like an indescribable terrifying shadow, suddenly surging forth and striking Gardevoir's back fiercely.

"Ah!"

Gardevoir staggered in pain and nearly fell to the ground.

Crash!

At the same time,

The Shadow Ball struck Dusclops's chest, exploding and sending waves of black smoke filling the air.

The black smoke gradually dissipated, revealing Dusclops's chest burnt black, obviously suffering considerable damage.

On the other hand, Gardevoir was also in poor condition, and its physical strength was rapidly declining, putting it in danger.

"Return," Bruce thought for a moment, then raised his hand to recall Gardevoir into its Poké Ball.

The next moment, his eyes flashed slightly, and he threw the second Ultra Ball in its place: "Go, Blaziken!"

"Blaziken!"

A white light flourished, and Blaziken stood firm in the field, staring directly at Dusclops with piercing eyes.

"Bruce recalled Gardevoir in poor condition and sent out Blaziken!" Martin Tyler remarked at the right moment.

In the stands,

Liam nodded slightly and said: "Gardevoir's contest condition is poor; Metagross is restrained by Ghost. Blaziken is undoubtedly the best choice."

"With Blaziken's speed, it can easily outmaneuver Dusclops."

"Flamethrower!" Bruce commanded sharply.

As the command fell, Blaziken's eyes froze, and it opened its mouth immediately, orange flames erupted, forming a column of fire in an instant, blasting toward Dusclops!

The wave of heat rolled, raising the ambient temperature, leaving the lips and tongues of the audience parched.

Judging by Dusclops's current contest condition, as long as it was hit by a Flamethrower, it would instantly lose its ability to fight.

In a critical moment, Dusclops transformed into a beam of red light and flew back to Anton's waist, and Anton raised his hand to throw the third Poké Ball.

A white light blossomed, and a fearsome Haxorus appeared on stage, taking the Flamethrower directly to its chest.

"Roar!"

Immediately, Haxorus let out a mindless roar, a fierce look in its eyes.

However, Haxorus has good resistance to fire-type moves, so it didn't suffer much damage, although its chest was slightly blackened.

[Pokémon: Haxorus (Dragon)
Ability: Mold Breaker
Qualification: Champion
Level: LV 51 (Gym)]

This Gym-level Haxorus is Anton's main Pokémon, having defeated many powerful rivals, and it exudes a terrifying suppression power on the battlefield.

Once Haxorus appeared on stage, it radiated a terrifying aura, and the blades on both sides of its face gleamed coldly, giving onlookers a strong sense of oppression.

"Dragon Claw," Anton shouted, his eyes flickering.

"Roar!"

Haxorus roared furiously, stepped forward, moved the ground, and charged toward Blaziken with astonishing speed, closing the distance in no time!

Immediately after, the sharp giant claws shimmered with white light, sweeping through the air and slashing toward Blaziken!

"Close Combat," Bruce commanded instantly.

"Chat!"

Blaziken's eyes froze, and it clenched its fists; facing Haxorus's attack, it suddenly spun its fist and struck out!

Boom!

In the next moment, Blaziken's fist collided with Haxorus's giant claw, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that spread rapidly in all directions, creating a dramatic scene!

"Roar..."

Haxorus and Blaziken stared at each other, but suddenly Haxorus's expression changed; it felt a tremendous force approaching, its giant claws began to buckle, and it couldn't resist.

Then, Blaziken brazenly struck Haxorus's face with a heavy uppercut, a sharp white glow blossomed, wrapped in terrifying power, and sent Haxorus flying several meters away!

Boom!

Haxorus's heavy body crashed to the ground, shaking the surrounding area slightly and kicking up dust.

Many spectators swallowed hard, their faces filled with disbelief as they watched this scene.

However, recalling Blaziken's fierce performance yesterday, it suddenly felt quite normal again.

This is Blaziken carrying the team on its back!

Isn't it reasonable for such a Blaziken to crush Haxorus in a face-to-face confrontation?

Thinking of it this way, everyone felt relieved.

Dragneel,

"This Haxorus is well-bred; there might be hope for Elite," Lance Elite said casually.

Bin nodded beside him, then complained, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being struck down by Blaziken.

"Hmm..." Lance Elite seemed to be pondering other matters, his thoughts wandering, so he absentmindedly nodded.

After a while, Lance Elite suddenly glanced sideways at Bin and said abruptly, "When Bruce returns to Avalon, let him visit the Dragon Cave once."

"Huh?" Bin looked confused.

Lance Elite narrowed his eyes slightly, observing Bruce's figure on the screen, and said slowly: "Our Dragneel family protects the Dragon Cave, so naturally, I can allow trainers outside the Dragneel family to enter."

"Of course, such trainers must either be kind to our Dragneel family, have a direct relationship of interest, or possess outstanding talent..."

Bin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "Uncle Lance, you want to use this to win Bruce over?"

"It's not about courting," Lance Elite said lightly, "It's just a simple way to connect."

"With Mega Evolution and Bruce, the rise of the Bayne family has become unstoppable. Within ten years, they'll definitely be among the top families, not to be underestimated."

"Moreover, Bruce himself is an outstanding talent, and his future achievements will be limitless, making it worthwhile to establish a good relationship with us in advance."

Bin nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "But he's a child of a powerful psychic family; will he suffer in the Dragon Pokémon?"

Upon hearing this question, Lance Elite looked at Bin and remained silent for a while. He pointed at Blaziken on the screen and said, "What kind of Pokémon is this?"

Bin: "..."

Staples Center,

"Roar..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Haxorus slowly rose, its thick and powerful giant tail swaying slightly, and its red eyes gazed directly at Blaziken with dignity.

Hatti, standing behind it, also wore a dignified expression.

After witnessing yesterday's match, he had prepared himself mentally, but he never thought... he still slightly underestimated Blaziken's strength.

This is definitely not the strength of a beginner at the gym level!

"Chat!"

Blaziken stared directly at the attacking Haxorus, its eyes calm, its fists glowing with white light as it swung towards the sky!

"Roar!"

In front of Blaziken's [Speed Boost] Ability, this was a skill with a good effect.

"Rush forward and use Dragon Claw!" Anton repeated.

Bruce issued almost the same command, breaking: "Sword Dance."

"Sky Uppercut!" Bruce stretched out his arms and shouted.

"Haxorus and Blaziken are powering up simultaneously!"

"Chat

!"

"The next battle will be even more intense!" Martin Tyler declared passionately.

At the same time,

"Roar!"

Dragon Dance can enhance attack and speed.

Upon hearing this, Haxorus lifted its head and roared, its sound wave spreading like a substance, performing a mysterious and powerful dance fiercely, continuously boosting its breath!

Haxorus stepped forward and approached Blaziken at a speed difficult to see, its claws shimmering with violent green dragon shadows, crashing toward Blaziken!

However, at that moment, Anton suddenly shouted, "Dragon Tail."

Blaziken's eyes sharpened as it danced fiercely, greatly increasing its attack power.

Thousands of thoughts raced through Anton's mind, and he frowned slightly, saying sternly, "Dragon Dance!"
