"Blastoise, it's your turn!" Ash slightly lowered the hat on his head, then vigorously threw the Poké Ball in his hand, sending out the Pokémon Blastoise to battle!
The white light dissipated in the field, revealing Blastoise's figure. After its appearance, its face was calm, and it maintained a composed demeanor.
"Very good, Blastoise." With Giovanni's height, he is naturally qualified to comment on Ash's Pokémon. After seeing Blastoise, Giovanni couldn't help being slightly surprised at how well it had been trained.
Blastoise's physique was much stronger than that of a normal Blastoise. The average Blastoise is about 1.6 meters tall, and some are even shorter than average if they are not properly trained.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Blastoise, who focuses on speed. Their physique will be smaller than normal.
Ash's Blastoise was just over two meters tall, with a strong physique and visible, powerful muscles. This was a Blastoise full of explosive strength!
"Battle - start!" The referee glanced at both sides, and after confirming that they were ready, officially announced the start of the challenge.
"Blastoise, Water Pulse!" Without hesitation, Ash, who had the right to attack first, immediately ordered Blastoise to launch an offensive with Water Pulse, currently its best move.
"Blastoise!" With a deep roar, Blastoise clasped its hands in front of its body, and dark blue light condensed in the blink of an eye, forming a highly compressed water ball between its hands.
Slamming the water ball onto the ground in front of it, the Water Pulse exploded, transforming into a three-meter-high wave that surged towards Rhydon!
"Rhydon, Stone Edge!" Water Pulse's power didn't faze Giovanni, but Rhydon retaliated.
"Rhydon!" With a haughty smile, Rhydon unleashed its Rock-type energy, condensing it on its right fist, and then ruthlessly smashed it onto the ground below.
"Boom!" The ground surged, and under the influence of Rock-type energy, thick and sharp stone pillars protruded one after another, extending all the way forward to meet the oncoming Water Pulse!
Although Water-type counters Rock-type, the power of Water Pulse wasn't enough to combat Stone Edge, let alone since the power of Water Pulse was dispersed in this manner, it wasn't a rival for the concentrated Stone Edge at all.
In a face-to-face confrontation, the wave was torn apart, and the water flowed around the sharp stones, having no impact on Rhydon behind them.
On the other hand, Stone Edge didn't stop after resisting the attack of Water Pulse. Rhydon continuously converted its physical strength into Attribute energy, maintaining the Stone Edge's assault on Blastoise!
"Flash Cannon!" Ash calmly commanded Blastoise to counterattack without the slightest panic. Flash Cannon was a Steel-type move that Wartortle had learned upon evolving into Blastoise!
"Blastoise!" The Hydro Pump on Blastoise's back adjusted its orientation slightly, aiming forward. Steel-type energy surged, and the gray-silver energy gathered in front of the cannon barrel, blasting out in the next moment!
"Boom!" Two gray-silver energy beams converged into a more condensed and massive beam, colliding with Stone Edge. After a moment of stalemate, the beam blasted through the sharp stone, pushing forward all the way and piercing through all the stone pillars in its path!
"Dodge!" Giovanni's eyes narrowed slightly. The power was somewhat different from a typical Flash Cannon. At this time, Rhydon had just used Stone Edge and couldn't immediately switch to other moves to counter it, so it could only evade and dodge.
After receiving the order, Rhydon cut off the energy maintaining Stone Edge without hesitation and made a small leap to the side. The Flash Cannon nearly grazed Rhydon's left arm!
"Hydro Pump!" But Ash gave another order to Blastoise without giving any chance. This was the advantage of Blastoise's physique at this moment!
Ash and Brock had discussed how to train Blastoise. Blastoise's species strength determined that it couldn't perform fast attacks like some Speed Pokémon. So, to fully utilize Blastoise's greatest advantages, they had strengthened its physical fitness.
There are two types of physical fitness in the game: one is HP, and the other is Defense and Special Defense.
But in reality, the manifestation of physical fitness is naturally not as simple as this. The improvement of physical fitness can make Pokémon recover from the exhaustion of previous moves faster, and even attack with shorter intervals!
From the seamless transfer of Steel-type energy to the excitation of Water-type energy, Blastoise only took a short time of one second, which can already be regarded as top physical quality among the elite class!
The dark blue energy condensed in the gun barrel, and in the next moment, the terrifying Hydro Pump, with its Attribute Unification bonus, blasted out of the gun barrel. Its powerful impact even created a circle of air waves around it!
As soon as Rhydon stood still, it saw the terrifying Hydro Pump attacking, and its pupils suddenly contracted.
"Use Mega Horn to meet it head-on!" Giovanni's demeanor was no longer as calm as it was at the beginning, and his brows furrowed slightly, clearly feeling the pressure.
"Mega Horn!"
Rhydon came back to its senses after receiving the order and immediately launched Mega Horn.
Bug-type energy was stimulated and gathered on the drill cone in front of its forehead, forming a larger, tea-green, sharp drill cone.
The compressed energy was terrifying, and with a slight wave, it caused the surrounding air to vibrate, creating a wisp of mist!
Stepping forward, Rhydon used its strength to sprint forward, rushing fearlessly towards the oncoming Hydro Pump!
"Boom!" The two attacks collided, and a strong impact erupted, rolling outwards. Everyone in the auditorium even felt a strong wind blowing in their faces.
The two attacks stalemated in the field. Blastoise maintained its energy output, making the Hydro Pump continue; Rhydon didn't fall behind, and after the energy on the drill cone was consumed, it was immediately replenished through the conversion of physical strength.
The moves used by both sides were very powerful, and now the competition was between the strengths of the two sides, but Blastoise had the upper hand. After all, the Hydro Pump it used had the same power bonus as the Attribute!
Gradually, Hydro Pump began to suppress Rhydon, and Rhydon's feet, clinging to the ground, had already rubbed against the ground and receded. Although it was unwilling, the power of Hydro Pump was superior to its Mega Horn after all!
"Boom!" Just as Rhydon showed a slight slump, Blastoise seized this momentary opportunity and increased its energy output. The power of the Hydro Pump was pushed to the extreme, and the suddenly intensified Hydro Pump instantly defeated Mega Horn, engulfing Rhydon!
The terrifying force pushed Rhydon into the air, its feet leaving the ground. It was pushed all the way by the Hydro Pump until it hit the wall below the auditorium, outside the venue.
"Boom!" The battle hall vibrated slightly under this impact!
