As expected of a hot-tempered lord.
It used a major move the moment it arrived!
The earth was no longer cracking inch by inch.
Instead, in an instant, deep and enormous ravines were torn open.
Beneath those ripped-open ravines, surging, scorching magma churned and rolled.
A searing aura spread through the cracks.
The entire space was burned scorching hot, to the point that it began to distort.
In an instant, the ravine crossed a distance of over a thousand meters.
It extended directly beneath Machinedramon's feet.
Then…
The scorching magma surging beneath the ground gathered toward Machinedramon's feet at that very moment.
Like a raging, sky-high tsunami, that crimson magma gathered together.
It released an extreme radiance of light and heat.
Then it rapidly condensed into a massive spike.
It stabbed straight upward from beneath Machinedramon's feet.
Its momentum was fierce.
It was like an enormous mountain range bursting upward from beneath the earth.
Only…
This mountain range was formed from magma heated to an extreme!
What a powerful strike!
As expected of an exclusive move!
Whether in speed, destructive power, or energy intensity, it was top-tier!
Could it block this?
Shiko looked at Machinedramon, somewhat looking forward to its reaction.
A sudden, violent strike from a first-tier Legendary…
If it really took that head-on, it would definitely not feel good!
Inside Machinedramon's crimson dragon eyes, its emotions remained calm.
Long before Groudon had launched this attack, it had already reacted.
The two enormous alloy cannons mounted on its back rose into position.
Blue electric arcs leapt and flickered at the mouths of the cannons.
Powerful energy compressed and gathered within them.
A brilliant azure glow emerged.
In the next instant…
Two streams of electric light surged out.
Infinity Cannon!!
A massive roar that shook heaven and earth erupted.
The entire valley echoed with the sound.
The countless Dragon-type Pokémon living throughout the mountains were also startled by this earth-shaking collision and fled in every direction.
The energy collided.
The powerful aftermath that scattered outward made the entire ground tremble violently.
Rocks peeled away and collapsed.
The Dragon Mountain Range, stretching for thousands of miles, was left in complete disarray.
Battles between Legendary Pokémon were truly terrifying to this degree!
And this was only a single collision!
Shiko's gaze pierced through the dust and smoke filling the sky.
He could see the battle situation clearly.
It had to be said…
Groudon's combat strength truly deserved its place among the top existences of the first-tier Legendaries.
This Precipice Blades was terrifying beyond belief!
Machinedramon's Infinity Cannon continued bombarding for a full minute.
The energy it released would have been enough to vaporize an entire stretch of sea into a vacuum.
Even then…
It only barely canceled out the constantly condensing magma pillar.
Quite a lot of the scorching magma that splashed out left red burn marks across Machinedramon's sturdy alloy armor.
In this exchange, Machinedramon had fallen slightly behind.
However…
Considering that its opponent was Groudon, whose offensive power was among the most overwhelming of all, Shiko was still satisfied with Machinedramon.
And next…
What would unfold would be the true head-on battle between two Pokémon, point against point, edge against edge.
