The commotion instantly drew the attention of the other Pokémon.
The massive shockwaves forced them to stop attacking and turn toward the center of the explosion.
Naturally, Titan noticed it too.
His attention had been fixed on the giant wooden golem that had suddenly appeared on the battlefield, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
But the sudden explosion immediately dragged his gaze back.
Everything had happened too quickly. Titan had no idea what had just occurred.
All he heard was a deafening blast.
And he knew that location was exactly where Bisharp, one of his strongest Pokémon, had been.
"Bisharp!!"
Titan's expression changed as he shouted in alarm.
Thick smoke billowed from the center of the explosion, making it impossible to see inside.
Titan immediately yelled,
"Skarmory! Blow the smoke away!"
"SKREEE!"
Skarmory, which had been fighting Charizard and Gyarados, turned and flew over the explosion site.
It beat its wings, whipping up a gale that scattered the smoke.
WHOOOOSH!
The smoke gradually dispersed, revealing the scene within.
The moment everyone saw what was inside, Titan's pupils shrank.
He cried out in disbelief,
"T-this... how is this possible!?"
At the center of the explosion, inside a massive crater, Bisharp's arms were gone.
Its armor was torn apart, and bright red blood streamed from its body.
It knelt on one knee, its eyes dim with weakness.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
Blood fell drop by drop.
Bisharp, one of Titan's strongest Pokémon, had been severely injured!!
"This is impossible..."
Titan roared in disbelief, shock filling his eyes.
Bisharp was a peak-stage Champion-class Pokémon.
How could it possibly be injured this badly by a mere Gym-level Pokémon in one move?
Even cheating should have limits!
It was like watching a Weedle one-shot an Aggron.
Completely absurd!!
No one could believe it was real.
...
In the distance, the old man and Moss were also dumbfounded.
They had thought Mega Beedrill was Aaron's ace.
But now, it seemed this Greninja might be Aaron's real ace.
One move.
Just one move.
It had severely injured a Pokémon far above its own level.
The grandfather and grandson were completely stunned.
Moss stared at Aaron, who had transformed into a Super Saiyan, and muttered,
"Aaron... who exactly are you?"
...
Meanwhile, Magneton had been sent flying by Snorlax's punch.
A black scrape appeared across its steel body.
It was not serious.
The damage was light, but the humiliation was enormous.
Anger twisted Magneton's face.
CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
Terrifying electric arcs surged over its body again as powerful yellow energy gathered.
Electric arcs snapped and crackled across its steel body.
"Maaag-ne-ton!"
Magneton let out an angry cry as the electric energy gathered into an enormous Zap Cannon and fired straight toward Snorlax.
The strongest Electric-type move.
Zap Cannon!!
Power: 120.
BOOOOM!
The terrifying Zap Cannon struck Snorlax directly.
Violent electricity wrapped completely around Snorlax, crackling with terrifying force.
A huge crater was blasted into the ground.
Electric light flickered with astonishing power.
"Magneton..."
Magneton looked at Snorlax, now engulfed in violent lightning after taking its Zap Cannon head-on, and a mocking look flashed through its eye.
Hmph... die!
You fat bastard...
Magneton was already certain this fatso was finished.
Unless this fatso cheated and turned into a Ground type, taking a Zap Cannon head-on meant certain death.
"Snorlax... finish it!!"
"Use Armament Haki and Giant Bajrang Gun!"
"Sceptile... control the roots and bind Magneton tightly."
At that moment, Aaron's calm voice rang out, cold and decisive.
"Snooor-lax!"
Wrapped in electric light, Snorlax let out a roar and scattered the lightning around its body.
Its completely unharmed figure was revealed.
Snorlax's eyes focused, and its arm suddenly stretched toward the sky.
"SNOOOR!"
Snorlax roared.
In the sky filled with dark clouds, thunder, and lightning, Snorlax's fist suddenly swelled, instantly becoming a colossal giant fist.
The fist seemed to cover the sky.
It was at least twenty meters across.
A layer of black energy instantly coated it.
Armament Haki.
BOOM, BOOM...
Immediately afterward, blazing white flames gathered around the fist, forming a giant flaming fist amid the dark clouds.
It looked like the fist of a god.
Terrifying power radiated from the sky.
...
The sight stunned Titan once again.
He muttered,
"What the hell is this now!?"
Titan felt numb.
There was no shock or surprise left in him, only confusion.
Then, in a panic, he shouted at Magneton,
"Magneton! Dodge it!!"
If Magneton had legs right now, they would definitely be trembling.
Thankfully, it had no legs, Magneton thought in relief.
But why…
Were the magnets on its body shaking!?
