The Hundred Schools League truly lived up to its reputation, gathering the fi students across Drakoria. Pokémon with potential, rarely seen iside world, were almost a standard here—nearly every partit had one.

  Even more astonishingly, Julian had now withree Pokémon with Blue potential.

  The first was Dyn's Samehe seax's Tyranitar, and now the third, Carter's Aerodactyl.

  Blue-tier Pokémon were so rare that some smaller nations didn't even have a single one.

  Yet here, Julian had seen three, and they weren't just ordinary blue-tier Pokémon; each was exceptional in its ht.

  The world was never short of those who bialent, perseverance, lineage, and luck. Their extraordinary existence earhem the bel of "monsters," as they far exceeded what could merely be called "genius."

  Aerodactyl soared high above, while Tyranitar roared into the sky from the ground.

  This wasn't their first battle. Both Pokémon were familiar with each other.

  "Aerodactyl, Hurrie!"

  Adjusting his rimless gsses, Carter had already calcuted Tyranitar's remaining stamina.

  He was a data-driven trainer who believed that victory y in the numbers.

  The violent winds swept across the battlefield, scattering the swirling sand in an instant. What was once a hazy, dust-filled arena cleared up as the fine particles were blown away.

  Tyranitar's Sand Stream ability was pletely overpowered by the Hurrie.

  "It's about to start," Carter murmured to himself.

  "Tyranitar, Mega Evolve!"

  The moment, Max's voice rang out.

  Tyranitar had already fought five battles, leaving its stamina aal state far from peak dition. To defeat Aerodactyl, Mega Evolution was a y.

  After the dazzling glow of evolution subsided, a more menag Mega Tyranitar stood otlefield.

  Max didn't rush to attack; he was waiting for the right moment.

  "Heh, Aerodactyl, Mega Evolve!"

  Carter chuckled softly as the rainbow light of Mega Evolution enveloped Aerodactyl.

  He wasn't oo take ces. While Tyranitar was known for its ability to battle oppos of higher levels, so was his Aerodactyl. However, Mega Tyranitar reached the level of ae Pokémon after evolving.

  If he uimated it and didn't Mega Evolve, the loss would be on him.

  Mega Aerodactyl's body was now adorned with sharp, jagged rocks that were harder than diamonds. Many schors believed that this was Aerodactyl's true form in aimes.

  After Mega Evolution, Aerodactyl's ability shifted from Rock Head to Tough Cws, the same ability as Mega Metagross.

  "Stone Edge!" X2

  Sharp stoed from the ground, stantly colliding and exploding with each other, the explosion sounds drowned out the cheers of the audience.

  When the dust settled, her side had gaihe upper hand.

  At that moment, Mega Aerodactyl's wings glowed with a silver light. With a rapid beat of its wings, its speed surged to its limit.

  In a fsh, it struck Mega Tyranitar's abdomen with Steel Wing, produg a resounding 'crack'.

  Mega Tyranitar staggered back three steps but showed no signs of injury. Its abdomen rotected by its imperable armor, signifitly redug the damage dealt by the Steel Wing.

  But before it could recover, aeel Wing attack came crashing down.

  As one of the most formidable aerial predators, Aerodactyl's highest stat was its Speed, and after Mega Evolution, this stat only became more overwhelming.

  With this enhanced speed, its Steel Wing wasn't just a sirike—it became a relentless barrage.

  Mega Tyranitar attempted to block with Rock Slide, but the falling rocks were easily dodged by the nimble Mega Aerodactyl.

  "Bam! Bam! Bam!"

  Oeel Wing after aruck Mega Tyranitar, f it to retreat step by step. The once-immacute arman showing cracks uhe tinuous onsught.

  It was evident to the spectators that Mega Tyranitar was being outcssed by Mega Aerodactyl's superior speed.

  If Max couldn't find a way to turide, the match's oute would be iable.

  "Mega Tyranitar it's time to whip up a Sandstorm," Max anded.

  The earlier sandstorm had been dispelled by Mega Aerodactyl's Hurrie, but Tyranitar's Sand Stream ability, when properly trained, could be toggled at will.

  After the previous sandstorm dissipated, Mega Tyranitar hadn't reactivated its ability—until now.

  Us trainer's and, the Sand Stream roared to life once more. The fallen sands began to rise, and even the previously scattered rocks disied into fine particles.

  A new sandstorm, more ferocious than before, engulfed the battlefield. The swirling sands obscured the arena, leaving the audieh only faint glimpses of two shadowy figures, flickering in and out of view.

  Within the sandstorm, Mega Tyranitar's advantages grew, while Mega Aerodactyl's speed was finally curbed by the blinding and abrasive winds.

  However, since Mega Aerodactyl had the Robsp;typing, the sandstorm was not very effective against it, to cause any real damage.

  "Mega Aerodactyl, Supersonic!"

  "We'll ter with Screech!"

  The two sonic waves collided mid-air, g each other out.

  "Mega Tyranitar, Earth Power!"

  Mega Tyranitar eled its energy into the ground, imbuing it with the power of rod earth. The battlefield trembled as a massive boulder erupted from beh Mega Aerodactyl, ung itself high into the air.

  But just as the airborne Mega Aerodactyl seemed defenseless, it suddenly vanished from sight.

  Mega Tyranitar was stunned for a moment, fused by the sudden disappearance.

  Then, a terrifying surge of energy erupted from behind it. Ag on instinct, Mega Tyranitar began to summon a Protebsp;shield.

  But it was a fra too slow.

  Hyper Beam struck Mega Tyranitar squarely on its back, sending the colossal Pokémon crashing face-first into the ground.

  In battles like this, victory a were often decided in a single moment.

  As Mega Tyranitar fell, Mega Aerodactyl's attack was already ining.

  Giga Impabsp;tore through the sandstorm like a meteor, a blinding white light cutting through the haze.

  A deafening boom erupted, apanied by a powerful shockwave that cleared the arena of the swirling sand in an instant.

  When the dust settled, the audience finally saw the se clearly.

  Mega Aerodactyl stood triumphantly atop the now-devolved Tyranitar, its wings spread wide as it let out a series of ferocious roars.

  Today, it had hunted down a Tyranitar.

  Max withdrew his Tyranitar, while Carter withdrew Mega Aerodactyl from its Mega evolved state.

  Their po even strohan Max to fight, and Carter knew he o serve both stamina and focus to use Mega Evolution again.

  "Aerodactyl, use Roost"

  Taking advantage of the brief pause before Imperial Uy's fifth petitor stepped onto the battlefield, Carter anded Aerodactyl to recover its energy.

  The decisive moment in the previous csh came when Aerodactyl had dodged Mega Tyranitar's Earth Power. Instead of fully evading, it had used Substitute to absorb the brunt of the attack.

  This clever tactic was what allowed Aerodactyl to ultimately overe Tyranitar and secure victory.
