This... gave Dragonite just the opportunity it needed.
Boom!
As Dragonite took flight, it tore through the air with its hands, creating a ferocious gale. The violent winds seemed to rip through the sandstorm weather, scattering countless grains of sand.
By understanding the Sandstorm move and altering air currents, Dragonite broke the weather over a small area with ease, solving the atmospheric puzzle.
Following that, the hurricane transformed into a Twister, clouds gathered, and heavy raindrops fell.
In the struggle for control over the weather, Dragonite won without difficulty.
Garchomp's Sand Hidden ability was broken, and its figure became clear.
The audience and guests couldn't take their eyes off the action, exclaiming in excitement.
With a serious expression, Tao Shengjie declared, "Dragon God Dive!"
Suddenly, as it revealed itself, Garchomp's flight speed increased, its body emanating a purple flame. Exuding a terrifying aura of murder, it broke through the air with a thunderous blast, achieving a speed comparable to high-speed movement. At the same time, the purple flame around its body flowed, transforming into a dragon shape to form a giant dragon's body. In this moment, the body's flame propels Garchomp's flight, and mixed within the murderous aura was the resolve of both Garchomp and Tao Shengjie.
Using one of the Dragon Type's Great Moves, Tao Shengjie intended to engage in direct combat, as this Garchomp's physical prowess was incredibly formidable from its training in the secret location!
Simultaneously, as the rain fell, Dragonite's gaze sharpened. Fang Yuan's command followed closely, "Hurricane... Blizzard!"
The combination of Rain Dance and Hurricane wasn't any less effective than the combo of Rain Dance and Thunder. A terrifying Blizzard took shape with the aid of the pouring rain, spreading in front of Dragonite.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
However, this chain of moves was not so simple. In the blink of an eye, the raindrops turned into frost, and the combination of Rain Dance and Hurricane was once again transformed into a Blizzard, an instantaneous surge of cold that resembled an icy world forced Tao Shengjie and Garchomp to narrow their pupils.
Boom!
Dragon God Dive collided with the Blizzard, and instantly a white fog exploded everywhere.
Within the fog, Garchomp's scales were frozen, and the two sensors on its head were frosted over, losing some of their functionality.
"Booo!"
The mist churned, turning into a vortex. Fang Yuan and Dragonite pressed their advantage. Dragonite appeared immediately above Garchomp from a higher stance, controlling the airflow, and sweeping up an Icy Wind from all directions to completely encase Garchomp in ice.
…
"A Dragonite that's skilled in using Ice powers..."
Seeing Dragonite disrupt the Sandstorm with a Hurricane and then easily suppress Garchomp by turning the Storm into a Blizzard, many were left stunned for a moment.
In an inner Dragon Type battle, having one side possess Ice powers was just too overpowered (BUG).
Watching Garchomp become encased in ice and then shattered by Dragonite's Dragon Claw, flying out grievously wounded, Tao Shengjie clenched his teeth, "So strong..."
The data from Emperor Capital University showed that Dragonite could skillfully control Heat Wave and Hurricane. And now, it seemed its tactics were even more comprehensive—it could also manipulate Ice winds.
"This might be why, in Dragon Island, Blood Wing Dragon and Garchomp could only be called warriors, while Dragonite could be known as the Guardian," President Chen Changfeng of the Imperial Association said regretfully, "These three Pokemon, all greatly fear Ice-based Moves, and yet Dragonite has a talent for mastering moves like Hail, Blizzard, Quick Freeze Beam, and Ice Punch... It earns the name Guardian through its strength."
"Quasi-god battles, I wonder if history will repeat itself..." In the Hua University audience, Zhuo Yue's expression was heavy; he wasn't afraid of Dragonite's Blizzard but feared its Heat Wave. His Huge Gold Monster absolutely wouldn't fare well after taking a hit from a Heat Wave.
While others were marveling at how Dragonite had access to both Heat Wave and Blizzard, with a full deck of moves, only Fang Yuan knew that it all came down to Dragonite's Flying talent. Without this powerful Flying talent, whether Sandstorms, Blizzards, or Heat Waves, Dragonite wouldn't be able to control them as expertly, even if it could learn them.
Unlike other Pokemon, when Dragonite used these Moves, it did so with "wind" and "air currents" at the core, with Attribute Energy as a secondary, and control over the wind was what made it truly powerful!!
