Mega Samence's ability had ged from Intimidate to Aerite.

  Aerite: Normal-type moves used by the Pokémon are verted to Flying-type moves, and their power is increased by 20%.

  Uhis ability, Mega Samence's Normal-type moves could now unleash eveer destructive power.

  "Bullet Punch!"

  Mega Metagross, with its Tough bsp;ability, enhanced all tact-based moves by 30%. This trait was arguably just as formidable as Aerite.

  Despite being in a burate, with fmes flickering across its silver body and stantly chipping away at its health, Mega Metagross appeared unfazed.

  Its silver-white body gleamed, its calm eyes unyielding, and it stood tall with unwaveriermination.

  "Fmethrower!"

  Mega Samenleashed a torrent of scorg fmes, instantly raising the temperature of the battlefield. The air rippled with heatwaves, and the ground seemed to bake uhe fiery assault.

  Mega Metagross pressed forward, using its four massive arms to unleash successive Bullet Puhe powerful punches pushed back the fmes, redug them to flickering embers.

  "Bang!!"

  A Bullet Punded squarely on Mega Samence's cheek. Its face dented slightly from the impact, and for a moment, it couldn't withstand the blow. Its body was sent hurtling toward the ground like a shooting star.

  The speed of the fall pressed the air around it, f a visible vortex as the pressure bore down on the earth below.

  However, Mega Samence didn't crash into the ground. Just before impact, its crest-shaped wied with incredible force, halting its fall mid-air.

  It stopped just half a meter above the ground, its abrupt maneuver creating enough force to leave a crater below.

  Such resilience was a testament to its mid-Elite-level power. If it were still at its earlier stage, it would have undoubtedly smmed into the ground.

  Mega Metagross raised its four arms, gathering golden energy between them. A beam of radiant light shot forth—it was Hyper Beam!

  Mega Sameill rec from its ret burst of energy, found itself uo rea time to the ining attack.

  "Protect!"

  Dyn's voice rang out instantly.

  A green protective barrier materialized in front of Mega Samence, intercepting the Hyper Beam.

  The golden beam collided with the shield, creating ripples that spread outward. Soon, cracks began to form on the shield.

  Just as the shield shattered, Mega Samence terattacked, ung a powerful Hydro Pump from its mouth.

  The water bst not only ralized the remaining energy from the Hyper Beam but alsed toward Mega Metagross.

  After using Hyper Beam, Mega Metagross was momentarily immobilized due to its cooldown period. At its current power level, it couldn't pletely elimihis dey.

  Although its body couldn't move, Mega Metagross's psychic abilities were still funal. A transparent light s materialized before it, successfully blog the ining Hydro Pump.

  Taking advantage of the moment, Mega Samence closed the distance, positioning itself directly in front of Mega Metagross before unleashing a Heat Wave at point-bnk range.

  The intense heat enveloped Mega Metagross, turning its once-silver body into a glowing red hue, akin to a piece of iroed in a fe.

  "Psychic!"

  Juliahat Metagross was in severe pain, but surrehat wasn't an option—not just him but eveagross wouldn't agree.

  After ing this far, there was n back.

  Besides, Julian didn't think they would even lose.

  Oher side of the field, Wade ched his fists as he watched Mega Metagross take the full brunt of the Heat Wave, its body visibly turning red by the attack.

  As the head coach, he had the authority to call a surrender on behalf of his team if necessary.

  But despite the damage, Mega Samence's choice to e such cle worked in Julian's favor. The proximity pced Mega Samence squarely within Psychic's effective range, making it the perfect opportunity to strike.

  Since Julian had already activated Mega Evolution, he couldn't afford to expera mental focus to establish a psychik with Metagross. Doing so would promise the stability of the Mega Evolution.

  Uhe influence of Psychic, Mega Samence suddenly froze mid-air, its movements pletely restricted.

  Metagross: Let's see you get that close to me again.

  Without hesitation, Mega Metagross raised its massive arm and delivered a devastatieor Mash directly to Mega Samence's head.

  Enhanced by the Tough bsp;ability, the power of Meteor Mash lified to an astonishing level.

  "Boom!!"

  The impact sent Mega Samence crashing into the ground. The sheer force shattered the battlefield, leaving cracks spidering across an area as rge as two soccer fields. It was as if an explosion had gone off beh the surface.

  After nding the Meteor Mash, a fsh of white light momentarily enveloped Mega Metagross.

  Meteor Mash had a ce to boost the user's attack, and after nearly ten uses sihe first round, the odds had finally turned in Mega Metagross's favor.

  Julian wiped the er of his eye, almost moved to the point of tears.

  "Mega Metagross, Giga Impact!"

  Julian's shout echoed across the field. It was time to end the battle.

  "Mega Samence, Hyper Beam!"

  Dyn, reizing this critical moment, issued a and of his own.

  Uhe effect of Aerite Ability, the Hyper Beam not only became a Flying-type move, but also got its power increased by 20%.

  The spectators fell silent, the tension palpable. Some even stood up unsciously, uo tear their eyes away from the impending csh.

  The seven-member group on the benodu Academy stood up straight, staring at the collisioween Mega Metagross and Mega Samence

  Giga Impact vs. Hyper Beam.

  White and gold beams collided in mid-air, their energies iwining like two brilliant streams of light meeting head-on.

  "BOOM!!!"

  A shockwave of white energy erupted from the collision, followed by wave after wave of force rippling outward.

  The protective barrier surrounding the battlefield trembled uhe relentless assault of the white shockwaves. Although the staff had assured the audiehat the barrier wouldn't break, those seated closest couldn't help but turn pale with fear. Yet, their expressions were mixed with undeniable excitement.

  For over ten seds, the csh betweewo devastating attacks remained in a stalemate. Slowly but surely, the white Giga Impact began to push the golden Hyper Beam back.

  Dyn's expression faltered. At this critical juncture, there was nothing more he could do but trust in Mega Samence.

  "Meta!!"

  Metagross's metallic voice rang out, and a slight smirk tugged at the er of Julian's lips.

  "Finish it!"

  In disbelief, Dyn watched as the Giga Impact surged in size, breaking all expectations.

  The overwhelming energy pletely overwhelmed and sliced through the Hyper Beam.

  Uhe desperate gaze of Mega Samehe final shock hit it like a Meteorite.

  With a resounding crash, the Giga Impact smmed into Mega Samehe already fragile battlefield gave way uhe massive attack, colpsing into utter chaos.

  ks of debris flew into the air, and tless cracks spread across the ground like a shattered mirror.

  Parts of the battlefield rose into jagged mounds, while other ses caved into deep pits or crumbled into loose, flowing sands.

  The arena was in ruins.
