The appearance of Crawdaunt and Feraligatr sighe formal entry of Elite-level Pokémon into the battlefield. Their presence brought cohesion to the previously chaotid disanized Water Pokémon.

  The attacks suddenly gained rhythm, and the wild Pokémon began to focus on threats to their ranks. Julian's Pokémon were quickly singled out and swarmed.

  Fortunately, thanks to Melmetal and Lucario's overwhelming abilities, as long as their oppos weren't at a higher level, sheer numbers posed no signifit threat in the short term.

  "Metagross," Julian snorted coldly.

  Metagross immediately soared toward Crawdaunt and Feraligatr.

  Wade was momentarily stunned. He noticed that Metagross's strength had abruptly advanced from mid pseudo-Elite level to its peak.

  'It gained several levels just by returning to the hotel?'

  "Metagross has been suppressing its level-up before"

  Julian expined, catg Wade's curiosity.

  This repared excuse to expin why Metagross had suddenly reached peak pseudo Elite-level.

  As a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, it naturally excelled in power but leveled up much more slowly.

  Hearing Julian's expnation, Wade didn't press further.

  By now, Metagross had reached Crawdaunt and Feraligatr.

  Crawdaunt, straightforward and brutish, wasted no time. Its massive cw gleamed white as it lu Metagross, who tered with Bullet Punch.

  A loud impact rang out, creating a massive pit in the surroundier, sending nearby Pokémon flying.

  Amidst Crawdaunt's pained cry, its body was hurled through the air.

  Feraligatr, standing nearby, was momentarily stunned. 'That's it? It's over already? That was way too fast.'

  Then it noticed that Metagross's gaze locked onto it .

  Known for its fiery temper, parable to that of Gyarados, Feraligatr showed no fear. Infuriated by its panion's defeat, it opes jaws wide, firing a Hydro Pump at Metagross.

  Metagross dodged effortlessly with Teleport and prepared to strike, only to find Feraligatr diving into the o.

  Feraligatr: Let's see how you attack me ier.

  Submerged, it maintained visual tact with Metagross on the surfad unched repeated Hydro Pumps, attempting to whittle it down with ratacks.

  While the tactic seemed dirty, it was undoubtedly effective—at least on paper.

  This Feraligatr seemed to have a good brain.

  However, Feraligatr uimated Metagross. With a Psychic bst, Metagross not only targeted Feraligatr but also maniputed the surroundier, trapping Feraligatr in a swirling water sphere.

  Ihe sphere, Feraligatr's eyes widened in shock, its limbs filing uselessly as it realized it couldn't move.

  With a blinding Fsh on, Feraligatr joined Crawdaunt i, falling honorably in battle.

  Two early Elite-stage Pokémon had beeed by Metagross alone.

  But this was far from over—it was only the beginning.

  Moments ter, four more Elite-level Pokémon broke through the o's surface. All four were Gyarados, their imposing forms followed by yet another colossal figure leaping out of the water.

  The enormous creature was her than a Wailord, its massive body resembling a small mountain.

  Wailord is known as the rgest Pokémon ever discovered.

  Some people even capture and train Wailord specifically for transoic journeys, riding atop its immense form.

  This particur Wailord was mid-Elite level, while the fyarados were all early-Elites.

  With a powerful swing of its tail, Wailord struck the o's surface, creating a monstrous wave dozens of meters high and nearly a kilometer wide. Withi wave, tless Water Pokémon swam, ready to overwhelm the defenders.

  The sheer magnitude of the wave cast a shadow over the entire beach.

  Eveing Wailord wouldn't stop the wave; its momentum was already unstoppable.

  Meanwhile, Metagross found itself entangled in a fierce battle with the fyarados, uo break free to assist.

  The advang wave threateo annihite the entire defensive line. If it crashed down, the trainers and their Pokémon would be thrown into utter chaos and peril.

  "Focus Punch!"

  A calm but firm and rang out.

  From the defensive line, a Pokémon covered in gleaming golden scales uself into the air. With the wave's immense size, this Pokémon appeared minuscule by parison.

  Its fist, radiating with a bright white glow, struck directly at the t wave. The sight resembled a person pung the wall of a skyscraper—an act seemingly futile, as if trying to stop an avah bare hands.

  Yet, what happened left everyone dumbfounded.

  The moment the glowing fist collided with the massive wave, it froze in pce, as though time itself had paused.

  Then, the devastating force of the punch spread outward, rippling across the entire wave from side to side. Water droplets erupted in every dire, glittering like a thousand tiny stars uhe moonlight.

  As the golden-scaled Pokémon nded gracefully, the o wave colpsed as if it were a boneless mass.

  A wave nearly a kilometer wide and dozens of meters high had been pletely dismantled by a single punch.

  Wailord blinked in astonishment, utterly baffled by what had just occurred.

  The one responsible for this incredible feat was her than Wade and his Kommo-o.

  That single punch was a masterpiece of trol and precision. Without perfect mastery over its strength, the Focus Punbsp;would have merely created a hole in the wave, leaving its momentum intact.

  But with unmatched precision, Kommo-o had dispersed its power evenly across the entire wave, utterly obliterating it in one blow.

  Lucario's eyes burned with admiration as it gazed at Kommo-o. Its own mastery over strength was far from reag the level of trol the dragon dispyed.

  Kommo-o's performance, however, wasn't over yet. With another powerful leap, it unleashed another Focus Punch, this time targeting Wailord.

  Sensing immi danger, Wailord quickly dove beh the waves, attempting to escape by retreating into the safety of the o.

  But Kommo-o's Focus Punbsp;tore through the water's surface, exposing Wailord's broad back. A massive spray of seawater erupted into the air, and a pained cry echoed from the giant Pokémon.

  Using the recoil from its punch, Kommo-o performed a mid-air spin before nding gracefully on the shore.

  Now fully revealing its overwhelming strength, Kommo-o radiated the unmistakable aura of a peak Elite-level Pokémon. The sheer iy of its presence froze the surrounding Water Pokémon iracks, paralyzing them with fear.

  Meanwhile, Metagross had fis battle with the fyarados, standing victorious.

  Though not quite as powerful as Kommo-o, the aura it exuded rivaled that of a Elite-level Pokémon, adding to the oppressive atmosphere.

  The Water Pokémon, once filled with aggression, began to falter. Panid fear rippled through their ranks as Elite-level Pokémon were defeated oer another.

  For the first time sihe battle began, the chaotic tide of attackers showed signs of halting. The defensive line no longer appeared on the brink of colpse.

  Seizing the moment, Wade released yet another powerhouse: a peak Elite-level Druddigon.

  With two peak Elite-level Pokémon standing side by side, their bined Dragon-type presence became suffog, making the water-types back down in fright.
