Pokémon: When the World Changed

Chapter 578 573: The Final Result

"Outrage again?"

"It seems Kevin has mastered some method to control the confusion caused by the move Outrage."

"The power boost from Outrage is already terrifying on its own, and if he can control it freely on top of that, then it's even more frightening!"

Ethan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, revealing a headache-inducing expression.

Earlier, the prison created by Tyranitar's Rock Tomb had been a very good opportunity.

But he hadn't expected that Garchomp's physical qualities would be so outstanding. Even after taking Tyranitar's Giga Impact, it hadn't been seriously injured.

After suffering once, Garchomp obviously wouldn't give Tyranitar a second chance!

The wind kept howling.

The sand was swept up by the gale and blew straight toward Garchomp.

In an instant—

Garchomp also moved.

With its blood-red eyes fixed on Tyranitar, a blade of air wrapped in Fighting-type energy flashed through the air, leaving behind a white trail.

Boom!

With a deafening roar—

Tyranitar's figure was sent flying backward once again.

At the same time, Tyranitar used the move Rock Tomb.

Four walls of stone began to rise, completely covering the surroundings. But this time, after using Outrage, Garchomp's speed was even greater.

Between attacking and retreating, the newly raised walls didn't even manage to block its escape.

"It's faster!"

"How terrifying... we couldn't even react!"

"Garchomp had already attacked and retreated!"

Seeing that scene, the dragon messengers around them couldn't hide the fear in their eyes.

They felt Garchomp's speed and, recalling their own Pokémon, realized that against such ghost-like attacks, theirs would have no good method of response.

Under these circumstances, it seemed the result was already decided. Did Tyranitar still have any good option left?

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The battle on the field continued.

Although Tyranitar had extraordinary endurance, it still couldn't withstand the continuous slashes of Fighting-type air blades.

"Tyranitar, Sand Tomb!"

Ethan's gaze turned grave.

This battle had become difficult!

"TYRRAANN!"

Tyranitar also seemed enraged.

After hearing Ethan's order, it let out a roar.

It stomped heavily on the ground, making the entire surface tremble.

Immediately afterward, under its control, the terrain began turning into sand, transforming into a vortex of quicksand that spread in all directions.

This time, since the entire ground had turned into sand, Garchomp's figure paused for a moment before quickly jumping to dodge the quicksand spreading beneath its feet.

But that wasn't all. Under Tyranitar's power, the entire terrain of the battlefield rapidly transformed into sand. In the blink of an eye, the whole field had become a desert!

And Tyranitar, standing tall upon that desert, lived up to one of its nicknames: at that moment, it had transformed into a true tyrant of the desert.

Seeing this, the dragon messengers couldn't hide their surprise, although this time they didn't exaggerate as much and began to quietly observe the battle.

Now the fight had truly intensified. Both Pokémon were displaying all their abilities and unleashing their maximum power.

"But Sand Tomb alone won't be enough to stop Garchomp."

Although Kevin also looked somewhat surprised, there wasn't the slightest concern on his face.

The moment he finished speaking, Garchomp suddenly leaped and quickly rose into the sky.

Although its body structure was peculiar, it could indeed fly. And its explosive speed in the air was among the best of all Pokémon.

From above, Garchomp dove straight toward Tyranitar, and the blade of air wrapped in Fighting-type energy came down with a fierce slash.

Boom!

Taking advantage of the speed of the dive, the power of the attack was even greater.

With a single slash, Tyranitar was sent flying into the air and barely managed to steady itself.

"TYRRAANN!"

Tyranitar was completely furious.

It raised both hands with force, and the quicksand began to churn violently.

Suddenly, a sand tornado rose from the ground, enveloping the figures of both Pokémon inside.

"What terrifying control over the sandstorm!"

"Look, the tornado's range is shrinking! It seems Tyranitar wants to force Garchomp into a direct confrontation."

"What's happening inside? From the sounds, it seems they've clashed again."

The dragon messengers discussed among themselves, but they could only hear the fierce battle within the sandstorm without being able to see what was happening.

"Look, the sand tornado is starting to dissipate!"

"It seems the battle has ended. Now we just need to know who won."

Suddenly, one of them shouted upon seeing the tornado beginning to fade.

Faintly, a figure could be seen standing inside it. Without a doubt, that was the final victor.

"It's Garchomp! Garchomp has won!"

With a cry of surprise, Garchomp's upright figure became completely visible.

On the sand lay Tyranitar's green body, covered with slash wounds.

Evidently, facing Fighting-type moves that dealt quadruple damage to it, it had been unable to endure.

Even so, Garchomp's condition wasn't good either; its body was also full of wounds.

"It seems it was a narrow victory for Garchomp."

One of the dragon messengers sighed, feeling a bit regretful about Tyranitar's defeat.

"Even if it was a close victory, Kevin is still the winner."

"That Tyranitar should be Ethan's strongest Pokémon, right?"

"But Kevin's Hydreigon, his ace, hasn't even taken the field. With just Salamence and Garchomp he already defeated Charizard and Tyranitar. Under these circumstances, Kevin is clearly much stronger."

One of the messengers' pupils contracted as he looked at Kevin with fear. He was simply too strong!

"Indeed, the victory has already been decided."

"Ethan's two strongest Pokémon have been defeated."

"The ones he has left—Vibrava, Gyarados, and Kingdra—won't be able to defeat Kevin."

"Let's not even talk about Hydreigon; even against the Garchomp that still retains some strength, Ethan might not necessarily win."

"With just two Pokémon, and without even using his strongest card... Kevin is ridiculously powerful."

Another messenger sighed. Even so, he did not underestimate Ethan at all. With just Charizard and Tyranitar, he had already fully demonstrated his strength.
