"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosion after explosion echoed continuously from within the steam.
Volcanion, seize the opportunity to rush up using the steam, then use Steam Eruption!
The instant Drapion rushed out from the steam, Volcanion enveloped itself in steam and shot forward rapidly.
Before Drapion could react, Volcanion had already charged right in front of it, gripping its body firmly with both arms.
Steam energy condensed and erupted rapidly, directly blasting Drapion away.
"Pursue it with Steam Eruption, then use Blast Burn!"
Drawing from the experience of Moltres and Charizard, Volcanion had also successfully learned the move Blast Burn.
The moment the dense steam enveloped Drapion, the sound of explosions rang out. Subsequently, flames engulfed the yet-undissipated steam along with Drapion.
"Moltres, use Fire Blast!"
As the battle progressed, Moltres forced Drifblim down from the sky, allowing its fire domain to envelop its opponent completely.
When the fiery storm began to condense, the entire fire domain started to cooperate with it.
Torrents of high-temperature airflow surged forward, further compressing Drifblim's room to maneuver.
"Moltres, use fire embodiment!"
Following Gu Yuan's instruction, the flames on Moltres began to spread out, gradually masking its original appearance.
"Drifblim, attack continuously with Hyper Beam!"
Sensing that things were taking a turn for the worse, Drifblim's Trainer immediately handed down an instruction.
Orange-yellow beams of energy shot out, first dispersing the fiery storm and then launching an attack toward Moltres, yet it was all in vain.
No matter how Drifblim resisted, it could not stop Moltres from closing the distance.
Once the gap between the two narrowed to a certain point, the raging flames on Moltres expanded violently, swallowing Drifblim whole.
As the flames gradually dissipated, Drifblim flew backward out of the smoke, its body completely covered in wounds.
"Moltres, use Blast Burn!"
Moltres's offensive was far from over. The remaining flames began to condense, transforming into fireballs that launched an assault toward Drifblim.
No matter how Drifblim's Trainer handed down instructions, it was difficult for Drifblim to provide feedback immediately. In the end, the Trainer could only watch helplessly as Drifblim was swallowed by Moltres's Blast Burn.
"Boom!"
An explosion rang out, and flames scattered in all directions. In the center, Drifblim collapsed, having lost its ability to battle.
With the assistance of Telepathy, Gu Yuan was fully capable of dividing his attention to command four battlefields simultaneously.
While Moltres launched its fierce assault on Drifblim, Drapion also became increasingly endangered under Volcanion's continuous offensive.
"Volcanion, use Steam Eruption!"
Receiving the instruction, Volcanion, who was in midair, immediately launched an attack. A massive amount of steam poured out, resembling floating bombs.
With just a slight movement from Drapion, the bombs were instantly detonated.
"Volcanion, use steam charge, then finish it off with a steam strike!"
Enveloped in steam, Volcanion began to accelerate.
During the process of the charge, steam power also condensed within Volcanion's hands.
"Counterattack quickly, Drapion! Use Pin Missile, then use Cross Poison!"
Its Trainer's voice rang out, and Drapion endured the intense pain to launch a counterattack.
Missile-like attacks shot out one after another, but Volcanion dodged them easily, subsequently rushing in front of Drapion with astonishing speed.
The pre-condensed steam strike blasted forward, instantly shattering the Cross Poison that Drapion had hastily unleashed, and then the power of the steam strike enveloped Drapion.
As the impact dissipated, Drapion, battered all over, fell to the ground and fainted.
At this point, both of this person's Champion rank Pokémon had been completely defeated, meaning he could not even grasp his final, illusory sliver of hope.
The situation of the other individual was not any better.
Starting with Pelipper, Gu Yuan had already commanded Roaring Moon to launch its final general offensive.
"Roaring Moon, use Dragon Rush!"
Following the instruction, a combination technique of Dragon Pulse, Twister, and Flamethrower was unleashed.
Originally, while enveloped by Dragon Rush, Roaring Moon already carried the demeanor of a demonic dragon.
Cooperating with the enhanced Twister at this moment, Roaring Moon was mirrored to look like an actual demonic dragon.
"Pelipper, piercing cold wind!"
A combination technique of Blizzard and Icy Wind was unleashed, yet it was directly pierced through by the spear-like dragon attack.
Flapping its wings, Pelipper dodged Roaring Moon's attack just in time.
However, in the very next second, Roaring Moon appeared behind Pelipper with phantom-like speed.
Back in the isolated space, Roaring Moon's strength was already slightly greater than Moltres's.
After becoming Gu Yuan's partner, Roaring Moon's strength progression had never lagged behind either.
It was just that outsiders were always shocked by the status of Moltres and Volcanion, so they would occasionally overlook Roaring Moon's strength.
Just like now, Roaring Moon's swift offensive made it difficult for Pelipper to defend.
With its wings acting like scimitars, it easily left an X-shaped wound on Pelipper's body.
Blood splattered as Pelipper flew backward, with the dragon attack closely following to envelop it, and a final Draco Meteor buried it like a tomb.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of burning fire rang out, transforming into a fiery storm that enveloped Honchkrow within.
"Honchkrow, use Brave Bird to charge backward!"
Flying-type energy condensed, and the exhausted Honchkrow flapped its wings once more, accelerating to rush out from the fiery storm.
"Mega Charizard Y, fire dragon descent!"
Before Honchkrow could catch its breath, Mega Charizard Y, transforming into a fire dragon, immediately launched a charge.
"Honchkrow, storm spear!"
Air currents condensed as a combination technique of Hurricane and Gust was unleashed, condensing the illusory airflow into a long spear, yet it was shattered under Mega Charizard Y's offensive.
Under Honchkrow's despairing gaze, the massive fire dragon opened its huge maw and swallowed it.
Driven by the impact of the fire dragon, Honchkrow was forced to crash onto the ground.
A crimson shockwave expanded outward. Inside a deep crater, Honchkrow lay collapsed, struggling to stand up.
However, Mega Charizard Y's flame-burning dragon claw was even faster, directly piercing Honchkrow's chest to completely defeat it.
At this point, the Champion rank Pokémon of both individuals had been completely defeated.
"Accept your loss. Since you have all failed, you should obediently accept your fate."
As the battle concluded, Lucian's voice immediately echoed in the ears of the two individuals.
Without any hesitation, the two simultaneously made a decision, preparing to release their Elite rank Pokémon as well.
"Good grief, this manner of yours, clinging to life while refusing to admit defeat, is quite ugly."
Lucian's slightly helpless voice rang out. Subsequently, a surge of psychic power enveloped the two, restricting their movements.
