Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Dynamax Gyarados!
The moment the referee ran outside the battle arena, the Poké Ball in Axel's hand was also fiercely smashed onto the ground.
A beam of light hundreds of meters tall instantly enveloped the entire sky over Ninox University, almost so dazzling that no one could open their eyes.
By the time the light dispersed, there was already a gigantic Gyarados in the sky over 300 meters long and several dozen meters wide.
"What the hell is that thing?"
"Dynamax! I saw it once when I traveled in the Galar region. That huge light orb just now was the sign before Dynamax was activated."
"In this state, Pokémon can use powerful Max Moves, and their stamina increases greatly. It's a battle system comparable to Mega Evolution and Tera Types!"
Hearing that person's explanation, Axel gave a big thumbs-up without hesitation.
As expected of a college student who had traveled, so knowledgeable.
In front of Axel, the Marowak who was using Focus Energy for the second time instantly froze.
Through the skull helmet, its small eyes looked at its trainer in disbelief.
'What the heck?'
'You want me to fight that huge thing?'
'Even if I Focus Energy ten thousand times, I still can't win!'
'Why don't you try?'
The tech guy panicked as well.
He suddenly realized something.
Yesterday during his battle with Gary, Gary was completely distracted, almost giving away first place.
Now it seems... Gary definitely already knew this would happen today.
The tech guy almost coughed up blood.
"Damn it, that guy is way too sneaky."
"But now that it's come to this, Marowak, use the method I taught you to perform Bone Flame Marker."
"As long as you can defeat that big guy, we'll definitely get Rainbow University's resource support and make it to the peak of life."
Under the tech guy's self-motivating speech, Marowak reignited its fighting spirit and instantly drew out its bone club.
At the same time, the tech guy threw out a glass box.
Marowak locked onto the Flame Orb inside the box and instantly swung its bone club.
Seeing the tech guy's move, Axel instinctively laughed.
'Isn't this my version 1.0 tactic?'
'How is there still someone using such a low-tier tactic at this point?'
'If I just let my Pokémon bring your Flame Orb into the Poké Ball, wouldn't you be doomed?'
But since the other side worked hard to learn it, Axel didn't plan to play dirty. After all, he was representing Ninox University in this match.
"In that case... Gyarados, use Max Geyser."
As soon as Axel finished speaking, Gyarados let out a thunderous roar.
A violent soundwave swept across the field, and the steel panels above the spectator stands were instantly blown off and crashed hard into the ground far away.
A massive amount of water-type energy gathered in Gyarados's mouth, rapidly forming a gigantic sphere over 100 meters in diameter.
On the judge's platform, Norton's scalp went numb, and he immediately had his Steelix shoot into the sky.
He had already witnessed the destructive power of Axel's Gyarados once.
If Axel's Max Geyser were allowed to blast outside the arena, Ninox University might have to go on break right after the semester started.
If the teaching buildings collapsed, how the heck could they still hold classes?
The referee also instantly summoned an Alakazam to teleport the terrified tech guy away.
No matter how tough human bodies are, there's no such thing as "near death" status.
If they got hit, that would be actual death.
At the same time, the water stream from Gyarados's mouth was successfully launched.
The 100-meter-wide water cannon instantly swept across the entire battlefield.
A torrential downpour began across Ninox University's field, soaking all the student spectators like drowned rats.
But not a single person left, everyone excitedly pulled out their phones to record this historic moment.
Someone had used Dynamax in Aurient.
———
On the battlefield—
Marowak frantically tried to escape but couldn't move out of the area covered by Gyarados's Max Geyser at all.
The battlefield was only 100 meters square, exactly the same size as the area covered by Max Geyser. Where could he run?
In the critical moment, a Steelix appeared between Marowak and Gyarados.
Its body was glowing with the intense light of the Protect move.
The enormous Max Geyser slammed into Steelix's body, instantly shattering Protect.
A cold sweat dripped from Steelix's forehead as it did everything it could to resist the stream pounding its body.
'No way I'm showing off with my trainer again tomorrow.'
'This is just a baby cup, and you're making this much commotion? You trying to kill someone?'
After a few seconds of deadlock, Steelix's body could no longer withstand the force of the water and crashed hard onto the battlefield.
And at that moment, the tech guy's voice rang out again.
"Marowak, now's your chance!"
Marowak stared blankly at the bone club in its hand.
'Chance...'
'Really?'
Holding onto its faith in its trainer, Marowak flung its bone club in a spinning throw that circled around Steelix's body and shot into the air.
At the same time, Axel gave another command.
"Good timing, Gyarados, use Max Airstream!"
"ROAR!"
Gyarados let out a roar, and a raging shockwave swept the ground, throwing the crowd into chaos.
Before they could even react, Gyarados was already soaring in the sky like an eastern divine dragon.
A massive upward aura burst around its body, and its speed visibly increased as it rocketed toward the battlefield.
Crack~
a soft sound rang out, Marowak's spinning bone club and the Flame Orb shattered in mid-air.
They crashed to the ground even faster than Gyarados, landing right beside Marowak.
Marowak instantly froze, fell to the ground, and began bawling.
'My bone club, my bone club!'
The ridiculous and adorable scene even made some of the front-row students burst out laughing.
Marowak's bone club and Farfetch'd's leek are both their survival weapons.
Once they lose their weapon, both types of Pokémon easily lose the will to fight.
But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Because the massive Gyarados was less than 20 meters from the ground.
For a Pokémon in free fall, that distance was just a blink of an eye.
BOOM!
With a deafening crash, the Dynamax Gyarados's body slammed into the steel battlefield.
At Gyarados's insane speed, the soil around the steel platform shot out like cannonballs toward the front-row students.
Axel immediately released Nihilego and Pheromosa, letting Pheromosa carry Nihilego to quickly set up a large Reflect wall.
The moment they finished preparing, the mud and steel debris beneath the arena blasted upward, hammering the just-raised Reflect barrier with rumbling force.
Covered in a layer of thick mud, the light wall was like reinforced concrete, completely blocking everyone's line of sight.
Only when the dirt and sand slid down did they see the scene inside.
The entire battlefield had vanished, and even Gyarados's body was buried deep in the ground, with only two-thirds of it still visible outside.
Which meant... Gyarados's Max Airstream had smashed a crater ten meters deep into the arena.
Everyone was stunned.
Norton and the tech guy were both staring blankly at the battlefield.
'Where's my Pokémon?'
