Magneton was miserable.
If it had a face, it would have gone completely dark.
Its strongest move, Zap Cannon, had landed cleanly on that damn fatso and still failed to burn off even a single hair.
How the hell was it supposed to fight this!?
And to make things worse, that bastard had raised a gigantic fist the size of a meteor and was about to smash it down.
I don't even want to fight anymore...
Magneton stared at the colossal fist hanging in the sky, radiating terrifying pressure, and felt despair creep into its heart.
"Magneton! Dodge it!!"
Titan's urgent shout came from behind.
Hearing its Trainer's voice, Magneton forced itself to focus.
The gigantic fist in the sky was terrifyingly powerful, but it had one obvious weakness.
It was slow.
Just as Magneton prepared to use electromagnetic force to escape—
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Countless roots burst from the ground, weaving into a massive net that swept toward Magneton.
Sceptile had made its move.
"MAAAG-NE-TON!!"
Magneton unleashed a burst of electricity toward the root net.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
CRACKLE! KRAK!
The roots exploded apart as electricity surged through them.
But before Magneton could relax, the broken roots regrew instantly and wrapped around it again, dragging it downward.
More and more roots coiled around its body.
CRACKLE! KRAK!
Magneton kept discharging electricity to destroy them, but the roots seemed endless.
No matter how much it struggled, it could not break free.
Worse still, the roots were draining its stamina and energy.
"SNOOOOR-LAAAAX!!"
At that moment, Snorlax let out a thunderous battle cry.
BOOOOOM!!
In the sky, a gigantic black fist wrapped in blazing white flames descended like a falling star.
Black lightning exploded around it.
White flames churned violently.
The air grew unbearably heavy.
CRACK! CRACK!
Cracks spread through the air around the giant fist, as if the atmosphere itself were about to split apart.
Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gun!!
It came crashing down!!
The gigantic fist descended toward Magneton with overwhelming force.
Magneton could not escape the roots covering the battlefield.
Sceptile had given it special treatment.
Countless roots wrapped around Magneton layer after layer, locking it in place completely.
And whenever Magneton tried using Electric-type moves against them, the roots immediately redirected the electricity into the ground.
"M-Magne... ton...!"
Magneton let out a terrified, distorted cry.
Snorlax's gigantic fist had already fallen.
BOOOOOOM!!!
A deafening explosion echoed through the entire forest as the earth shook violently.
If not for the flowering forest field Sceptile had created, which helped stabilize the battlefield, the impact might have triggered a real earthquake.
A terrifying shockwave swept outward like a tidal wave.
"Snor... lax!"
Snorlax withdrew its fist, returning it to normal size.
At the impact site, a massive crater several meters deep had formed.
Inside the crater, Magneton had been crushed completely flat.
Its life aura was gone.
It never could have imagined that one day it would die in such a miserable way—flattened by a single punch.
"No..."
"MAGNETON!!"
Titan watched another one of his Pokémon fall and let out a furious roar.
Bastiodon was dead.
Magneton was dead.
Bisharp had been heavily injured and was effectively unable to battle.
Now Titan only had Aggron, Dugtrio, and Skarmory left.
Dugtrio was in terrible shape as well. Since its body stayed underground, Sceptile countered it perfectly.
The underground roots were endless.
No matter where it burrowed, they immediately wrapped around it.
And now the giant wooden golem was targeting it too, leaving it barely able to defend itself.
Meanwhile, Aggron and Scizor were locked in an intense battle, neither side able to break away.
For the moment, only Skarmory still held a slight advantage.
Even Charizard and Gyarados working together in the air could not fully suppress it.
After using Dragon Dance twice, Gyarados's Attack and Speed had already reached +6 stages, while the power of its moves had increased by fifty percent.
Charizard's flames in Lightning Flame Dragon Mode and Gyarados's Thunder Destruction became nearly impossible to dodge in the rain.
Together, they were barely managing to hold Skarmory back.
And at that moment—
Titan had no Pokémon protecting him anymore.
This was Aaron's chance.
Aaron's expression sharpened.
BOOM!
A crater exploded beneath his feet as Aaron shot toward Titan like a cannonball.
He moved so fast that Titan could not even track him with the naked eye.
And Titan never expected Aaron to jump into the fight himself.
What the hell was this!?
Who was the real villain here!?
Aaron appeared in front of Titan in an instant and drove a punch straight into his stomach.
"UGH—!"
Titan spat blood as his body flew backward several meters.
Fortunately for him, Aaron had held back.
Otherwise, that punch alone would have reduced him to paste.
Aaron stepped on Titan's chest, his golden eyes staring down at him coldly.
Then he spoke in a flat voice.
"You die..."
"Or you order your Pokémon to stop fighting."
"Cough—! Cough! Cough!!"
Titan coughed violently, blood spilling from his mouth as he stared at Aaron like he was looking at a monster.
Was this thing even human!?
One second ago, Aaron had still been far away.
The next instant, he was already standing in front of him.
And that ridiculous strength—
Hearing Aaron's words, Titan suddenly grinned.
"Hahahaha..."
"If I tell them to stop..."
"Will you really let me go?"
A mocking smile appeared on Titan's face.
He already knew he had lost today.
And losing meant death.
He had already seen it in Aaron's eyes.
There was no way Aaron would let him walk away alive.
