At that moment, Giovanni realized something was wrong and immediately ordered Entei and Raikou to launch a counterattack.
He recalled Suicune, and Suicune's presence instantly neutralized Tyranitar's Shukaku power.
Now, only three god-level Pokémon remained on the field.
But all three were still uninjured, making them incredibly difficult opponents.
At that moment, Sam suddenly remembered the skill he had just learned: Tailed Beast Ball.
Although he didn't fully understand what it was, it sounded incredibly powerful.
Sam immediately tried to activate it, but the system sent a notification:
Insufficient spiritual power. Unable to activate Tailed Beast Ball.
"Damn it!"
Sam cursed inwardly.
He had just learned the skill, yet he couldn't use it.
Just as he was about to give up, another message appeared.
Begin charging Tailed Beast Ball?
Sam hesitated.
Although one opponent had already been eliminated, only Charizard, Mewtwo, and Tyranitar remained on his side.
If he spent time charging, there was no guarantee they could survive long enough.
After thinking about it, Sam was ready to cancel.
Then the system suddenly added another line:
Tailed Beast Ball is a guaranteed-kill technique.
That instantly changed his mind.
A guaranteed-kill move?
Then it was worth trying.
Sam quickly informed Mewtwo of his plan.
Mewtwo nodded.
Without hesitation, Sam ordered Tyranitar to cooperate with Mewtwo and hold off the three god-level Pokémon.
That would buy Charizard enough time.
The four powerful figures clashed in the air.
Meanwhile, Charizard quietly began preparing its ultimate attack.
Finally, the system's voice rang out.
Charge complete. Activate Tailed Beast Ball?
Sam's heart raced.
If it really was a guaranteed-kill move, then this battle could finally end.
"Activate!"
Immediately, a dark purple sphere formed inside Charizard's mouth.
The sphere flickered with blazing flames and traces of molten magma.
Its destructive aura was terrifying.
Then—
Sam nearly wanted to smash the system.
"What the hell?!"
The attack missed.
The dark red sphere shot into the distance and exploded harmlessly.
Sam's face darkened instantly.
Wasn't it supposed to be a guaranteed kill?
He immediately questioned the system.
"What happened to guaranteed kill?"
The system calmly replied:
A guaranteed kill does not guarantee a hit.
"…"
Sam almost exploded with rage.
He cursed the system repeatedly in his mind.
Then he asked another question.
"Can Charizard fire a second one?"
The system replied:
Charizard's current Tailed Beast power is only sufficient for one Tailed Beast Ball.
Sam felt like he had been struck by lightning.
Was this system deliberately trying to torture him?
Before he could ask more questions, the system went silent.
Resisting the urge to destroy it, Sam ordered Charizard back into battle.
Even if it was a scam, the fight still had to continue.
At this point, even Mewtwo was beginning to show signs of exhaustion.
The battle had reached a critical stage.
Sam quickly analyzed the situation.
Only Tyranitar, empowered by Shukaku's power, could effectively restrain Entei and Raikou.
Meanwhile, only Mewtwo could suppress Suicune.
A split strategy was the best option.
Sam immediately ordered Charizard to lure Suicune away.
As expected, Giovanni's mind had become clouded by power.
He truly believed himself invincible.
At this point, strategy was enough to exploit his weaknesses.
Sure enough, Suicune took the bait.
Charizard led it away from the battlefield.
Waiting there was Mewtwo.
Meanwhile, Sam and Tyranitar faced Entei and Raikou alone.
The pressure from two god-level Pokémon was almost suffocating.
Sam continuously used sand to restrict their movements, making sure Suicune couldn't reunite with them.
On the other side, despite using the power of the Tailed Beast, Charizard was still being suppressed by Suicune.
Then Mewtwo finally moved.
A devastating psychic strike slammed directly into Suicune and knocked it to the ground.
Only then did Sam realize that Mewtwo hadn't been idle all this time.
It had simply been waiting.
Waiting for the perfect opportunity.
And now, it had arrived.
With Suicune defeated, only Entei and Raikou remained.
Although both were still incredibly powerful, Sam now had the advantage.
Sand naturally countered both fire and electricity.
Combined with Mewtwo's Psychic powers, their side finally held the upper hand.
Three against two.
Victory was no longer impossible.
Realizing the situation, Entei and Raikou began gathering power for one final attack.
At the same time, Mewtwo floated beside Charizard and Tyranitar.
The three Pokémon combined their strength.
Flames and lightning surged within Entei's mouth.
Raikou's electric power crackled violently.
Meanwhile, Mewtwo's psychic energy merged with Charizard's flames and Tyranitar's sandstorm power.
Two overwhelming forces prepared to collide.
No one knew which side would emerge victorious.
Giovanni laughed maniacally.
"How can your Pokémon possibly compare to the power of gods?!"
Sam stared at him.
A strange thought crossed his mind.
Does gaining power make people stupid?
Because right now—
Giovanni looked exactly like a fool.
