Zubat deftly dodged the attack of Blast Burn. Blast Burn struck the top of the rock wall, and with a booming sound that shook the ground, the rock wall was directly burned through, turning into orange-red magma.

Qingwu and Aron quickly found a place to hide, avoiding being affected. This was the power of Fire-type Pokémon. When a Pokémon became powerful enough, it could overcome type disadvantages. Take Magmar as an example: Fire-type is weak against Rock, Ground, and Water types. However, if a Fire-type Pokémon can emit temperatures far exceeding normal, rocks will be burned into magma, water will evaporate into steam, and the ground will also become the Fire-type Pokémon's territory.

True masters do not fear type disadvantages. That's why many Elite Four members specialize in only one type. Qingwu lived a relatively mediocre life in his previous life, so he didn't have any particularly specialized types; he knew a little of everything, but mastered nothing.

"Roar, roar, roar!" Magmar, like a flood dragon stirring rivers, continuously caused chaos in the magma sea. As the magma became more active, the temperature inside the entire cave rapidly rose, now reaching nearly 80 degrees Celsius. Aron felt extremely uncomfortable, but to protect Qingwu, it gritted its teeth and persevered.

"Come out, Squirtle! Help cool everyone down!" Qingwu called out Squirtle, having it unleash Water Gun. Water Gun sprayed onto himself and Aron, performing artificial cooling. Their previously soaked clothes quickly dried.

Among Qingwu's Pokémon, Zubat was the most heat-resistant. It used Tailwind's Air Armor to block out the heat, continuously dodging Magmar's attacks. Qingwu was nervous about the situation on the field and didn't notice the Omega Ruby pattern on his hand suddenly appear, directly absorbing the excess heat from the surroundings. Qingwu immediately felt the surroundings cool down significantly, attributing it all to Squirtle's Water Gun.

Zubat unleashed Supersonic at the magma, and the enormous supersonic waves enveloped the entire magma sea. Affected by the sound waves, even several rock walls showed signs of cracking. Qingwu, seeing Zubat use Supersonic, quickly covered his ears to avoid the ultrasonic interference.

Magmar, in the magma sea at this moment, was not so lucky. Under the attack of Supersonic, Magmar's brain felt as if it were being tossed upside down, making Magmar even more irritable. Magmar opened its mouth, and a thick pillar of fire erupted from the magma, like a majestic fire dragon, shooting towards Zubat.

Zubat flapped its wings quickly but didn't expect the fire dragon to follow closely. Countless flames impacted the rock wall, causing the already cracked rock wall, due to Supersonic, to completely give way. It transformed into huge, burning rock fragments falling into the magma, creating splashes of "water." The magma sea also undulated like waves due to the influx of these rocks, and even much of the magma splashed onto the rock walls, overflowing significantly.

Qingwu surprisingly discovered that the magma seemed less active than before, as if something had instantly absorbed the magma's heat, and countless magma re-solidified into black-gray volcanic rock.

Magmar rushed out of the magma pool in disarray; it also felt the anomaly just now. At this moment, Magmar's mind was still not completely clear, so Magmar still directed its attack towards Zubat. After losing the amplification of the magma pool, Magmar lost its continuous supply of Fire-type energy and was no longer as adept at manipulating the Fire-type energy floating in the air.

Magmar took a deep breath, and from its mouth, it spat out a constantly rotating fireball. The fireball instantly expanded to form a huge fiery vortex.

"Zubat, use Hurricane!" Qingwu immediately gave an order. Zubat flapped its wings, and the Flying-type energy between its wings quickly concentrated. Zubat lightly swung, and a giant tornado quickly formed, standing against the fiery vortex. The two immediately collided, causing wind and fire to rage across the sky. The entire cave was covered in the intertwining of wind and fire.

The intertwining of fierce wind and raging fire made Qingwu unable to open his eyes. Only Zubat, utilizing its Tailwind state, remained detached from the wind and fire. Magmar was also being battered by the strong winds. Magmar placed its arms in front of it to block the strong winds, and the wind blades sliced open cuts on Magmar's arms. Blood eagerly gushed from the wounds, immediately soaking Magmar's arms in blood.

Flying-type energy didn't have much effect on Fire-type Magmar, but it could slowly wear down Magmar's stamina. Magmar opened its bell-like eyes. It now felt timid and wanted to escape, so it sprayed a cloud of black smoke forward.

"Zubat, watch Magmar to prevent it from escaping!" Qingwu shouted loudly, cupping his hands over his nose. Zubat's figure flashed, transforming into a white light, and used Quick Attack on Magmar. Magmar's abdomen suffered a severe impact, and it actually swallowed back the black smoke it was about to spit out.

Then, Zubat used Aerial Ace. Its figure flashed, instantly moving to Magmar's back, and used Air Slash on Magmar. Four thick wind blades instantly struck Magmar. After being hit by the wind blades, Magmar actually crashed headfirst into the rock wall. Magmar formed a large, cross-shaped hole in the wall. This was Zubat's technique with Aerial Ace. It used Aerial Ace to move itself from the front to the back, then unleashed an Air Slash attack. Magmar's back was also covered in blood.

The pain completely burned away Magmar's reason. The enraged Magmar emitted powerful Fire-type energy, like a fiercely burning blaze. Under the protection of this fiery armor, Magmar's previously injured parts immediately recovered, growing new tender flesh. An unnamed rage surged from Magmar's heart. It wanted nothing more than to burn its enemy to ashes.

"This Magmar seems to have learned the move 'Overheat'!" Qingwu looked at the anomaly on Magmar and immediately knew that Magmar had learned a new move.

"Zubat, be careful! The attack range of 'Overheat' is very large. Try to use long-range attacks as much as possible!" Qingwu cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly to Zubat. Zubat nodded and dodged at an extremely fast speed. For some unknown reason, Magmar's speed also suddenly surged, forming a streak of firelight, chasing after Zubat.

"Zubat, speed up and lure Magmar back to its original spot, then ascend rapidly!" Qingwu continued to shout. Zubat flapped its wings, and with a flash, maintained enough distance. It wasn't afraid that Magmar could catch up to it.

Magmar, seeing Zubat accelerate, further spurred its Fire-type energy, and its speed became even faster. A fiercely burning line of fire was left in the air.

"Now! Ascend rapidly!" Qingwu shouted to Zubat. Zubat flapped its wings and flew high into the sky. Magmar failed to dodge and crashed directly into the rock wall. A "thud" could be heard, and even Qingwu felt its pain. The rock wall hit by Magmar completely cracked into several pieces. The collapsing rock wall also delivered the final blow to Magmar. Magmar completely collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
