Raihan's control over Pokémon power was extremely skilled. With his rapid movements, the Flygon hiding underground instantly revealed itself.
The two locked eyes as Raihan quickly guided the energy within Flygon.
A purple pillar of light shot straight into the sky.
Washed by that purple beam, Flygon's aura climbed steadily higher.
A massive dragon shadow, eight or nine parts similar to Eternatus, appeared behind Flygon, carrying a violent aura as it roared madly and charged into the sky.
Axel: "..."
'This Flygon actually imitated Eternatus's form with its energy?'
'That is… oddly familiar.'
But now was clearly not the time to get distracted. The purple pillar of light gradually compressed and flowed into Flygon's body, causing its entire draconic form to radiate a heart-stopping power.
"ROAR!"
The power compressed to the extreme condensed into a ball of light. The surrounding space rapidly collapsed and annihilated, and the sandstorm raised by Gabite was instantly dragged into spatial turbulence.
Under such ultimate power, this move cut off all environmental influences.
Seeing that Gabite still hadn't entered its sleep state, Axel hurriedly shouted.
"Don't be affected!"
"Roar!", Gabite forcibly resisted the urge to counterattack, tightly shut its eyes, and rapidly converted the energy within its body into stamina that had already been consumed.
Recover, recover, recover again.
Finally, just as it recovered to about an acceptable level, the power of Ultimate Dragon Quake Heaven and Earth surged upward and crashed head-on into Gabite.
The light sphere exploded instantly, turning into countless purple dragon shadows that frantically assaulted Gabite's body, causing the stamina it had just recovered to plummet again.
From afar, it looked like the sky was filled with purple lightning.
If it weren't for the held item "Leftovers" continuously restoring its stamina, this single blow would have been enough to take it out.
Amid the extreme pain, Gabite's eyes trembled, as if it might wake up at any moment.
Raihan's voice rang out, carrying praise, "Axel, that little guy you just caught is very well trained."
ts physical strength doesn't even feel like that of a Gabite at all. It's completely comparable to a Garchomp around level 60."
"But this ends here."
"Flygon, use Scale Shot!"
"Roo~"
Flygon quickly shook off the aftereffects of that overwhelming power, spread its wings toward the sky, and fired five scales almost simultaneously.
Its Scale Shot was incredibly fast, even faster than the beam from a Poké Ball.
Even if Gabite woke up successfully, even if Axel pressed the recall switch, Gabite would still fall into defeat under this attack.
At that moment, a sharp whistling sound suddenly appeared.
Raihan followed the sound, and then saw a horrifying scene.
The Poké Ball in Axel's hand was shooting upward at high speed, even faster than Flygon's Scale Shot!
Raihan was completely stunned, "You… what are you doing?"
Axel looked at Raihan seriously, "This is my Trainer strength."
Raihan: "..."
Damn it… even without Axel saying it outright, he knew Axel had definitely gained some weird new opportunity again.
Throwing a Poké Ball barehanded at a speed faster than a Champion-level Pokémon's move?
He really wanted to fight these chosen-by-fate guys to the death!
Beside them, Shengyang raised the red card and lowered it, then lowered it and raised it again, his left and right brain battling each other as he felt himself getting stupid.
How the hell was he supposed to judge this?
But very quickly, his dilemma vanished.
Because in the sky, just as the Poké Ball emitted light and was about to recall Gabite, Gabite actually woke up.
More importantly, it raised its hand and refused the Poké Ball's recall!
"It's going to take it head-on?", Axel was the first to snap out of it when he saw Gabite's reaction, instantly understanding Little Shark's intent.
This little shark was pissed off by Flygon.
From the very beginning, he had known this was a Gabite with a bit of a temper.
After following Axel these days, it hadn't suffered losses even when facing various Legendary Pokémon, and had already developed a proud personality.
And now it was getting crushed by Flygon?
It didn't know Raihan, nor did it know Raihan was a top-tier Trainer.
All it knew was that it had been beaten by a dragonfly.
"Roar!", Brutality flashed in Gabite's eyes as Dragon-type energy surged through its body. It could feel that it didn't have much stamina left, and it could feel the terror of Scale Shot.
But it didn't want to retreat.
Amid continuous roars, Gabite pulled out its held item, something that looked like an apple core, radiating a refreshing fragrance and constantly releasing healing waves. Leftovers.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of item was usually carried by tank-type Pokémon, like Umbreon or Shuckle.
There was also another usage, treating it as a resource to boost a Pokémon's recovery ability.
In the second case, it generally brought some improvements to the Pokémon.
Axel understood instantly. Little Shark was planning to use this secret-treasure-level held item to exchange for a burst of power!
"Could it be… this little guy has already reached the edge of evolution?", As Axel speculated, Gabite swallowed the Leftovers in one bite and chewed heavily.
The hard held item, under the effect of the Razor Sharp Fangs trait, was crushed like tofu, instantly ground into pulp as rich energy burst forth.
Shengyang wore a pained expression. Even at his half-baked level, he knew Axel was skirting the line again.
The rules said a single held item could be used, but now Axel's Pokémon had eaten that held item.
One item, two uses?
He hesitated for a moment, then still didn't speak up.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't a violation, because Mr. Axel had paid.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Scale Shot slammed into Gabite without restraint, perfectly dispersing the stamina it had just recovered from eating the leftovers.
And right at that moment, before Raihan and Flygon could make any new reaction, an unusual aura suddenly flashed across the sky.
Gabite's entire body erupted with dense white light. As its height surged upward, its two wings folded downward and grew longer.
Beyond that, all of Gabite's joints and teeth began to expand rapidly, emitting a chilling gleam.
Driven by extreme rage, and nourished by the energy of the leftover secret treasure, Gabite began evolving into the final form of a pseudo-legendary.
Garchomp!
