Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Crackle.

The Three Headed Evil Dragon's three heads swayed as they emitted an infinite aura of malice. In front of each head, a black electric arc formed and quickly converged, soon manifesting into a spherical wave of darkness.

The moment the black sphere materialized, the surrounding air stirred into a "whooshing" motion, and the ground began to swirl with sand and stones.

Malicious aura perfectly compressed... The Three Headed Evil Dragon had honed the move Evil Fluctuation to perfection, enhancing it with Gathering Energy and devious moves to match the destructive force of any top-tier one-hit kill technique.

Multitasking with one mind!

It was evident that only the dragon's middle head possessed a brain, yet the Three Headed Evil Dragon managed to multitask with a single mind flawlessly!

Realizing this, many spectators' hearts sank.

"As expected of the King of the United States, even if his ranking isn't high, he's still so formidable..."

Boom!!!

As the international audience mused, Evil Fluctuation was unleashed like a dark hole capable of devouring everything.

And naturally, Monferno was the target of the attack.

Just as everyone thought Fang Yuan was about to issue an evasion command, or Monferno intended to dodge on its own, they discovered that both Fang Yuan and Monferno remained unmoved.

As Evil Fluctuation approached, Monferno stood still, seemingly unchanged. Yet its muscles were tensed, breathing adjusted, and mind serenely focused. The technique of Qi Gathering was performed as naturally as walking, and the Lightning Flame Energy within it erupted.

Lightning Flame Mode, the third gate!!!

"Enhanced Fist!"

At Fang Yuan's command, Monferno stood silently on the ground, reached out its arm, and clenched its fist. In an instant, Thunder and Lightning enveloped the fist, followed by the rise of Flame, resulting in a golden blaze between them.

Facing this blaze, Evil Fluctuation hadn't even struck yet but began to twist in shape. At the moment of nearing Monferno, the latter casually waved its hand and sent the terrifying Evil Fluctuation flying into the sky!

Boom!!!

Evil Fluctuation exploded in midair while on the ground, Monferno shook its smoking fist, looking utterly unfazed.

"This..."

"Using strength... to casually deflect a top-tier one-hit kill technique...?!"

Witnessing this scene, all the spectators simultaneously held their breath tighter.

And Polun's pupils shrank!!

What's happening? Can Monferno possess such strength on its own??

Defeat the opponent!

Feeling Fang Yuan's command, Monferno nodded vigorously as it emitted a blue aura. Under Fang Yuan's control, the substantial Wave Guide formed a blue wave motion, resonating with the wave emitted by Monferno.

"Power of the Heart, activate!" Fang Yuan whispered inwardly.

Boom!

Under the Resonance of Psychic Power, a terrifying blue aura seemed to awaken Monferno once again.

The boost in willpower fused the combat intent in Monferno's blue eyes with the Wave Guide, turning its Fire into Flame of Will. With the Enhanced Fist move, it became stronger as it fought, evolving into the Unparalleled Fighting God!

In this frenzied state, Monferno took a deep breath and vanished in a blink.

Crack!

Huge fissures appeared in the ground beneath its feet.

Monferno's silhouette instantly appeared in front of the menacing Three Headed Evil Dragon...

At this moment, only the screen's slow-motion allowed clarity of Monferno's actions, while the Three Headed Evil Dragon and Polun themselves couldn't fully react...

"Qi Fist."

After arriving beside the Three Headed Evil Dragon as swiftly as the wind and as rapid as lightning, Monferno stood there calmly, bending its legs to prime a punch...

This punch charged quickly.

With a "buzz!!", Monferno swiftly hammered its fist into the Three Headed Evil Dragon's flabby belly, causing a significant dent from the horrific punch. The dragon's brutal gaze faded from consciousness, and its body abruptly flew back. The fierce force of the punch even whipped up a massive storm, tearing open the ground behind the Three Headed Evil Dragon, leaving devastation in its wake from a single punch!!

Polun was utterly stunned!

"How... how powerful..."

Seeing Polun's trump card withstand not even a single blow, all competitors revealed expressions of disbelief.

Could this Monferno exhibit such power even without Ditto's assistance?

At the same time, Polun, witnessing his trump card so easily defeated, was sweating profusely. He remembered Gura's words.

"I admit defeat..."

Perhaps Gura was right?

At that moment, Polun could empathize with the powerless sensation that Kamiki, the Champion of Japan, had felt. With his trump card so effortlessly overpowered, how could he fight?

...............

"I... admit defeat."

On the arena floor, Polun's arm slowly lowered as he spoke.

A great nation's King admitting defeat to Fang Yuan after just one round, feeling completely overwhelmed—this sight left all spectators from Hua Nation accelerating their breaths, excitedly clenching their fists; it was just too reliable.

"Useless." In the American competitors' seats, Gura spoke in frustration. He then turned his gaze towards Monferno and Fang Yuan.

Is this all they're capable of??

Even with the boost of Aura, Monferno's strength fell far short of its performance in that group battle without Ditto's help. If this was what Fang Yuan called improvement, then it was utterly insignificant.

Although it was strong, although it matched the principal forces of champions from major nations, it was still a far cry from his Volcarona.
