Seeing the venom surge like a flood, covering almost the entire arena, everyone was dumbfounded.
Especially Oda, standing opposite Axel.
The smile on his face froze instantly, staring at Eternatus in disbelief.
'This thing can use Venoshock too?'
'Even if ten Pokémon cast Venoshock together, it won't be this outrageous!'
The venom quickly linked into one vast mass, sweeping upward toward the falling meteors.
The two sides collided.
The imagined world-shattering clash, like planets colliding, did not appear. Instead, it turned into a one-sided suppression.
Corrosive "zizzz" sounds echoed through the air. The meteors of Draco Meteor hadn't even fallen halfway before they were corroded into nothingness, as though they had never existed.
Only the lingering dark clouds in the sky testified that Oda's Haxorus had just used the terrifyingly powerful Draco Meteor.
"Thi...", Oda lifted his head with difficulty, eyes full of disbelief as he looked at Axel.
After the fortune he had obtained yesterday, he had been convinced that his Pokémon's training could be called the very best in Blueberry Academy.
'But...'
'Why do we look so weak before this boy?'
As a dragon-type, Haxorus's claws and moves should've been absolutely invincible at this level.
Axel smiled at the stunned Oda, "Sorry, but dragon-types really don't have any status with me."
"Because... my dragon is stronger than yours!"
"Eternatus, use Dynamax Cannon!"
"roar!"
Eternatus let out a loud cry, the core on its head flashing with dazzling brilliance.
In that moment, an endless pressure radiated out from Eternatus. The divine authority of the Gigantic Poison Dragon God swept forth without restraint.
Under the influence of this divinity, countless Pokémon's eyes turned blood-red, unable to resist.
As Eternatus willed, as long as the opponent's level wasn't far higher, they would instantly transform into destructive, berserk monsters.
This was the greatest difference between a god and ordinary Pokémon.
Divinity!
"Haxorus, quick, use Protect!"
"Haxorus, what's wrong with you?"
Under the divine authority's influence, Haxorus, at the very center of it, had eyes that almost bled, roaring unconsciously with madness.
Oda's gaze was full of shock, unable to understand why this was happening.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't command Haxorus. But the move that Eternatus was gathering was already about to be released.
Helpless, Oda could only press Haxorus's Poké Ball, wanting to temporarily withdraw it and send out another Pokémon.
But at that moment, another accident happened.
Facing the light beam of the Poké Ball, Haxorus actually dodged sideways, charging toward Eternatus like a pilgrim.
Oda's pupils widened sharply.
Helplessness, fear.
Countless emotions surged in his heart.
"Don't worry," Axel's voice came from across the field, "Your Haxorus just evolved, and your current strength isn't enough to match it."
"As a result, your bond has cracks."
"After this match is over, you two only need some time to adjust."
After saying that, Axel waved his hand, signaling Eternatus to release all the gathered energy from its core.
In the next moment, a crimson light illuminated the entire arena. A terrifying energy cannonball, completely disproportionate to Eternatus's small frame, condensed at the center of the light and crashed down onto Haxorus.
BOOM!
With the blessing of the Dragon King title, Eternatus's cannon reached the extreme of terror, as though it would drown the entire arena.
Haxorus made no reaction, taking the enormous cannon head-on, its body staggering on the verge of collapse.
"Haxorus, pull yourself together!", Oda clenched his fists tightly.
"Think of our dream, this is the closest we've ever been to Lord Raihan!"
"Use Dragon Pulse, you can definitely fight back!"
"ROAR!", Encouraged by Oda, Haxorus's eyes flashed with feral light, letting out a deafening roar.
Seeing the reaction, Axel didn't rush to attack.
In these recent days of growth, something inside him had already shifted.
If not for that, he wouldn't have let Duraludon or Nihilego participate in Blueberry Academy's ranking battles themselves.
Now, he still kept the basic courtesy of treating these senior students with respect, but inwardly, he already saw them as juniors.
Especially since the other side was a Raihan fanatic.
Seeing his opponent grow, Axel was happy to let it happen.
Finally, Haxorus's aura climbed to its peak, and the will to win blazed in its eyes.
A faint dragon energy condensed in its mouth, forming a wildly surging purple sphere.
"Eternatus, let's use Dragon Pulse too!"
"roar!"
The small Eternatus nodded hard, dragon energy also surging at its core.
Two Z-shaped beams appeared almost at the same instant, colliding mid-air above the arena.
But the clash lasted only a moment. Haxorus's dragon energy was wildly compressed and distorted by Eternatus's, until finally merging together with Eternatus's beam and slamming back at Haxorus.
BOOM!
After a loud explosion, Haxorus collapsed trembling onto the ground, leaving behind only a faint purple mushroom cloud...
"Haxorus has lost the ability to battle. Contestant Oda, please send out your second Pokémon!"
Briar's calm voice came from the referee's stand, "Does contestant Axel wish to switch Pokémon?"
"Nope!", Axel refused outright.
Eternatus hadn't taken any damage, why switch?
Briar nodded. She had known Axel wouldn't switch, but by procedure, she had to ask.
"Contestant Oda, please quickly send out your second Pokémon."
"Ah, r-right!", Oda nodded hurriedly, though inside he felt a powerless despair.
He wasn't afraid to keep fighting, but he could clearly see. His Pokémon simply weren't comparable to that Eternatus.
Fighting like this, victory was impossible.
After deep thought, Oda gripped the black bead hanging at his waist.
"My lord, are you still there?"
"Please... help me once more!"
Sensing Oda's call, the black dragon gradually awoke from slumber.
He had finally found a human with a pure belief, one not easy to deceive.
The deal with this human concerned whether he could successfully find Axel, he couldn't afford mistakes.
But his energy was nearly depleted, no longer able to strengthen Oda's Pokémon again.
In that case... the only choice was to attach his consciousness directly to Oda's Pokémon.
["Human, tell me, who defeated you?"]
["Release your Pokémon before him."]
["With my existence, you need not fear."]
["I, the legendary Ideal, will help you suppress all enemies!"]
