Chapter 431

296: Victory!!

Upon realizing his attack had failed, the Tyranitar leader wasted no time.

He slammed his right foot heavily onto the ground.

The earth immediately cracked.

Then, Tyranitar plunged both hands into the ground.

He lifted a massive boulder.

Eyeing Latias in the air, Tyranitar swung his arms with fierce force.

The huge rock hurtled toward Latias.

Move: Rock Throw!!

If struck by this rock projectile, Latias would undoubtedly crash straight to the ground.

The subsequent battle would then be a foregone conclusion.

With immense stamina and devastating attack power, Tyranitar would surely crush Latias through sheer physical prowess.

Naturally, Latias would not allow Tyranitar to succeed.

She rapidly gathered energy.

A massive purple hammer coalesced before her.

Then she struck the incoming rock.

Boom!!

Zen Headbutt collided with Rock Throw.

The rock instantly shattered into fragments scattered across the ground.

09 "Hmph!!"

Seeing his attack had failed,

Tyranitar snorted coldly.

Latias, however, did not remain on the defensive.

This time, she condensed her energy into a sharp blade.

Then she charged at Tyranitar.

Stone Edge!

Sharp stone spikes appeared around Tyranitar one after another.

He retaliated in kind.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

In the center of the battlefield, thunderous crashes rang out continuously.

The battle between Tyranitar and Latias

left the surrounding Tyranitar utterly stunned.

They had never witnessed such a powerful match.

Every move resembled that of a fighting machine, capable of unleashing tremendous destructive force.

They could understand their lord being this powerful.

But they never expected the challenger seeking to fight them to be equally formidable.

"Is this the strength of an Elite Four-level Tyranitar? It's truly terrifying!! Just like a natural disaster."

"But I never expected Latias to handle it so calmly; both sides are incredibly strong!!"

"If I were up there, I'd probably be knocked out in a single move, right?"

"Is this what battles between top-tier Pokémon look like? It's absolutely spectacular!!"

Qin Shuai and the others, watching the battle from afar,

felt their blood boil with excitement.

Although the level difference was only a few grades,

this Tyranitar leader's strength was completely different from the previous two.

Whether in combat experience, move power, or battlefield management, he was far superior.

Even so, Latias showed no signs of faltering.

Instead, she continued to respond with calm composure.

This battle had lasted nearly an hour.

Both sides' stamina was constantly being depleted,

yet continuously replenished.

This was the recovery power of a Pseudo-Legendary and a Legendary Pokémon.

An Elite Four-level Tyranitar, unless faced with overwhelming force,

could not be defeated quickly.

At this level of strength, the battle essentially came down to endurance.

Whoever lasted longer would win.

Undoubtedly, Tyranitar was a Pokémon brimming with such stamina.

He might not even lag behind some Legendary Pokémon.

Latias's recovery ability was also excellent.

She could restore her stamina through certain moves.

Therefore, she was not inferior to Tyranitar in the slightest.

The battle between the two Pokémon raged with such intensity that heaven and earth seemed to darken.

Almost no part of the surrounding environment remained intact.

Others would likely never imagine what this place had looked like just an hour ago.

At this moment, both Latias in the air and Tyranitar on the ground were panting heavily.

After an hour of high-intensity combat,

neither Pokémon retained the composure they had shown at the start.

"Psychic!"

"Stone Edge!!"

Both sides unleashed their signature moves as if stamina were no concern.

They poured out attack after attack without cease.

Had a Quasi-Emperor level Pokémon stood here, it would have been blasted to ashes in moments.

"Hyper Beam!!"

Latias did not pause; a brilliant white light ignited once more in her mouth.

A beam brimming with destructive energy shot clearly from her jaws.

Seeing the opponent use Hyper Beam,

Tyranitar felt not a shred of fear; he too unleashed a Hyper Beam from his own mouth.

"Whoosh!!"

Tyranitar's Hyper Beam shot straight toward Latias.

However, to Tyranitar's astonishment, the moment his Hyper Beam reached Latias,

it strangely passed right through her.

It caused no explosion upon her body.

Clearly, the attack had missed its mark.

In the next instant, Latias appeared on his other side.

This was because, just moments before, while Tyranitar's stamina began to wane and his guard lowered,

Latias had used her feathers to manipulate light, concealing her true form while projecting an identical image of herself nearby.

This illusion had successfully deceived Tyranitar.

Latias could bend light to transform herself into human form.

For her, such feats were utterly trivial.
