Gogoat was engaged in a losing battle, while Alakazam rested after finishing its own battle. Nidorino, Shedinja, and Gyarados came to the rescue. Regardless of its power and experience, Primeape couldn't contend with two pseudo-king-ranked Pokemon, one elemental-ranked Pokemon, and one rare-ranked Pokemon.
The tables had turned, and now Primeape was on the defensive, protecting its vital points. Nidorino unleashed another 'Sludge wave' trapping Primeape under the effects of 'Poison spread' and 'Poison damage transfer'. Gogoat used 'Sunny day' to slowly heal itself with the help of 'Grassy Terrain'. Venusaur was occupied with healing Alakazam, unable to focus on other Pokemon.
Shedinja attacked with 'Shadow ball' and 'Night slash', while Gyarados dealt a serious blow with 'Thrash'. Finally, Gogoat finished Primeape off with a powerful 'Solar beam'. Primeape had been defeated.
Three pseudo-king-ranked Pokemon from the enemy team had fallen. Mamoswine and Beedrill were also close to winning their battles. Meanwhile, Charizard emerged as the true MVP of the battle. Despite being a rare-ranked Pokemon, it efficiently dispatched elemental-ranked opponents with its incredible speed through 'Flame wings' and 'Dragon dance'.

The battle had significantly improved Charizard's moves. Axel realized that training and battling with the intent to kill were different things, leading to faster growth for the Pokemon.
Other elemental-ranked Pokemon in the team assisted greatly, although they lacked experience in killing. Charizard often took care of finishing blows, a role they accepted. This wasn't a game; it was real life.
Absol and Tauros were also adapting well. Pokemon were more adept at adapting to the rigors of war than humans. It was in their DNA.
They faced a total of 30 elemental-ranked Pokemon, a daunting number. Despite their formidable lineup, A, B, K, and Mark had to call upon multiple Pokemon, as some were unable to battle. Charizard sensed that they were on the verge of losing the battle and decided to take a risky move.
Having already used 'Sunny day' and benefiting from Gogoat's contribution, Charizard's fire-type attacks packed a tremendous punch. It activated 'Solar power' which gradually reduced its HP but boosted its special attack. Charizard unleashed 'Flamethrower' and 'Fire pledge' specifically targeting Grass and Bug type Pokemon.
With the combined effects of 'Solar power' and 'Sunny day', Charizard's fire power was overwhelming. As its HP dwindled, it accessed 'Blaze' further enhancing its fire power. Utilizing a combination of 'Flame wings' and 'Wing attack', Charizard sliced through multiple Pokemon.
In a mere 30 seconds, Charizard single-handedly eliminated eight elemental-ranked Pokemon. The enemy Pokemon, already injured and weary from the long battle, fell swiftly. The number of enemy Pokemon dwindled to nine.
With Gogoat and Shedinja now joining the fight, an impossible battle seemed possible. However, they hadn't considered the remaining five pseudo-king-ranked Pokemon and two king-ranked Pokemon.
The five pseudo-king-ranked Pokemon guarded the two king-ranked Pokemon, observing the battle.
"Looks like we should interfere," said Breloom.
Electivire replied, "Yes, I think we should. These brats have good Pokemon. Let's eliminate them all and capture that silver-haired brat. He's the only one worth sparing."
Although others paid no attention to that group, Axel did. He knew they were still in trouble. Defeating those two king-ranked Pokemon seemed impossible.
Electivire let out a mighty roar, signaling the start of the battle's second round. After the roar, several things happened within seconds.
Axel shouted, "NOW!"
Mamoswine charged at full speed toward Poliwrath and impaled it with its ice tusks. The two tusks penetrated Poliwrath's body, and Mamoswine used its pure strength to lift Poliwrath off the ground. With its tusks still embedded, Mamoswine threw Poliwrath down.
It was a sight to behold. A towering, six-meter-tall Pokemon with three-meter-long curved tusks impaling Poliwrath, lifting it, and then hurling it to the ground—something not witnessed every day.
Axel watched as Poliwrath's life faded before his eyes, and he swiftly threw a healing ball, capturing it. Nidorina had also sustained severe injuries while battling Beedrill. Axel threw another healing ball, capturing Nidorina as well. He instructed his Pokemon to bring the Pokeballs to him.
Upon Axel's command of "NOW!" everyone released their Pokemon from their Pokeballs, including Axel himself. Only Axel, Mark, A, B, K, and Alakazam remained.
"Light! Do it now!" Axel ordered.
Alakazam's eyes glowed purple, and in an instant, they disappeared, reappearing just beyond the red crack. All of this occurred in a mere two seconds. The enemy, especially Electivire, couldn't believe what they were witnessing.
"Damn! I didn't think I could make it out alive, and somehow I did," said Mark as he sat down on the ground. The others also collapsed, too exhausted to stand.
Meanwhile, Electivire seethed with anger. It began moving toward them, preparing to cross the crack for revenge.
"Control yourself! You know you can't do it," Breloom pacified Electivire.
They were safe, and they were alive.
