Dan's calm voice followed, "Charizard! Let everyone see your claws!"

Then, Dan also raised his hand and made a claw-swinging motion, maximizing the effect of the battle.

"Dragon Claw!"

The Charizard flapped its wings and took flight, spreading its arms in the air, with two enormous energy claws condensing on its two front claws.

Then it swooped down like a bomber, its claws striking the aluminum-steel dragon on the ground.

A slight smirk appeared on Qibana's lips as he let out a soft snort. "Hmph, Aluminum Steel Dragon! Use Iron Wall!"

Facing the fierce, descending dragon claws, the Aluminum Steel Dragon made no attempt to dodge. Instead, it puffed out its chest, meeting the claws head-on.

At the same time, the originally faint energy cloak on the aluminum-steel dragon suddenly became thicker.

The Aluminum Steel Dragon resolutely carried out Chibana's orders, choosing to take the Charizard's claw head-on at this moment.

Although Fuyuki outwardly feigned shock at the sight, he inwardly pursed his lips.

Let's not even talk about how Dragon-type moves only deal half the damage to Steel-type Pokémon.

Leon, a Charizard that excels at fire, is only so-so at Dragon-type attacks, and its Dragon Claw doesn't provide any type bonus.

It's easy to imagine how weak Charizard's Dragon Claw attack is.

Dongshu didn't believe that Dandi wouldn't know these things, but Dandi still chose to use the dragon claw, which looked imposing but was actually very weak.

If they really fought, that would be truly bizarre.

As Dongshu mentally complained, the dragon claw descended from the sky and slammed into the thick energy coat on the aluminum steel dragon's body.

The violent impact caused large sections of the ground beneath the aluminum steel dragon to crumble, but the thick energy coat covering the aluminum steel dragon's body did not even cause a ripple.

After a brief standoff, Duraludon thrust its chest forward, sending the shocked Charizard flying.

It has to be said, this fire-breathing dragon is definitely a master of facial expressions.

Fuyuki's surprised voice rang out at the right moment, "What astonishing defensive power! The Aluminum Steel Dragon is completely unharmed!"

At the same time, Cibanar waved his claws again, "One more time with the metal claws!"

Aluminosi once again charged nimbly and swiftly towards Charizard, but Leon's confident voice rang out as well.

"Dig a hole!"

The fire-breathing dragon, which was flying in mid-air, suddenly folded its wings and began to spin rapidly, like an Armstrong cyclotron armor-piercing bullet that burrowed into the ground.

Aluminum Steel Dragon was caught off guard by the sudden absence of its rivals.

The next moment, the ground beneath Aluminum Steel Dragon's feet suddenly shattered, and a Fire-Breathing Dragon, transformed into an armor-piercing bullet, burst out of the ground and struck Aluminum Steel Dragon heavily in the abdomen, sending it flying.

Seeing the Aluminum Steel Dragon being knocked away, Fuyuki shouted excitedly, "The Dig skill hit! Excellent effect!"

Dan Di Meng waved his hand, "Bang!"

Although Leon commanded Charizard to use moves that were super effective against Duraludon, he still couldn't get Charizard to unleash its terrifying Flame Specialization attack.

Dan is still intentionally controlling the pace of the game.

Under Leon's command, Charizard swung its glowing fists and swooped down towards Duraludon.

"Aluminum Steel Dragon! We'll use Rock Blades to meet the enemy!"

With a mighty slam, the aluminum-steel dragon slammed its arms into the ground, sending a sharp, metallic-looking stone cone soaring into the sky.

This was actually a rock-blade-shaped attack.

The stone spike pierced Charizard's belly in an instant, and Charizard was sent flying with its eyes bulging out.

"Aluminum Steel Dragon retaliated fiercely against Charizard with an extremely effective Rock-type move!"

Even though it was hit by a highly effective attack, Charizard managed to regain its footing as it approached the ground.

Furthermore, Kibana did not command Duraludon to pursue, but instead engaged in another brief standoff with Leon.

The two then engaged in another round of verbal sparring.

Dan's voice remained calm, "Chibana, Aluminum Steel Dragon. Your strength has not disappointed my expectations."

A wicked and arrogant smile appeared on Qibana's face. "Your smile of ease ends here!"

Let's settle this once and for all, Aluminum Steel Dragon! Use the Ironhoof Ray!

The aluminum steel dragon stuck its hands into the ground, fixing itself into a cannon turret, and then opened its mouth to its limit.

A terrifying energy began to brew violently from the mouth of the aluminum steel dragon as its life force burned.

Fuyuki's exclamation rang out at just the right moment, "It's here! The strongest Steel-type move! Iron Hoof Ray, which trades its own life force for terrifying attack power!"

As the aluminum-steel dragon completed its power-gathering, a terrifying beam of metallic light erupted towards it.

Dan Di's smile remained calm and confident as he flicked his cloak, shouting, "Charizard! Flamethrower!"

At this moment, Charizard's eyes finally sharpened, and scorching, condensed flames erupted from its mouth, clashing fiercely with Duraludon's Iron Hoof Ray in mid-air.

Fuyuki watched this scene with great interest. In the violent collision of the two terrifying energies, it was actually the jet flame that was gradually suppressing the iron hoof ray.

Just as the Iron Hoof Ray showed signs of weakening, Charizard suddenly coughed.

Although he managed to maintain the jet flame in time, there was a noticeable interruption in the jet flame.

Ironhoof Ray immediately seized the opportunity, deflecting the flamethrower back and slamming it heavily into Charizard's body.

boom!

The violent explosion engulfed the fire-breathing dragon.

"The Iron Hoof Ray overwhelmed the Flamethrower and hit the Charizard!"

Then, the fire-breathing dragon, trailing thick smoke, crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

However, Fuyuki saw it clearly: the Charizard flapped its wings violently the instant it hit the ground, flipped over, and stood firmly on the ground.

The smoke and dust were merely special effects created by his flapping wings.

As the smoke cleared, Fuyuki exclaimed in surprise, "Charizard didn't even fall after such a powerful attack!"

And just then, Charizard suddenly raised its head and let out a powerful roar.

This roar caused the atmosphere in the arena to explode.

The cheers from the audience were deafening and continuous.

With his arms crossed and still full of confidence, Leon said to Kibana, "Thank you. Thanks to you, Charizard's fighting spirit has been ignited."

Seeing that Charizard, despite suffering repeated heavy blows, still stood tall, Kibana's eyes sharpened.

"Then let this battle be even more spectacular!"

He actually used a Poké Ball to recall Duraludon.

If this were a match from another region, it would already be clear that Cibana has lost.

However, this is the Galar region, and in battles in the Galar region, there is a special situation where you can recall a Pokémon from the field.

"It's coming! The aluminum-steel dragon!"

A violent energy surge erupted from the bracelet on Kibana's right hand. Stimulated by this energy surge, the Poké Ball in his hand began to expand dramatically, transforming into a gigantic mosaic energy ball twice the size of a basketball. ...

Gigantamax!

Amidst desperate shouts, the giant energy ball was tossed high into the air by Qibana.

A terrifying energy storm exploded around the energy ball, illuminating the entire area.

In the flash, a huge shadow appeared on the battlefield.

The entire venue trembled violently at the appearance of this huge shadow.

When the flash of light dissipated, the huge shadow became clear: it was a Gigantamax Duraludon that was over fifty meters tall!

Everything else pales in comparison to this Gigantamax Duraludon.

Fuyuki finally exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "It's here! Gigantamax Duraludon!"

Regardless of how much power this Gigantamax form can amplify, the sheer increase in size alone is enough to leave Fuyuki utterly astonished, no matter how many times he sees it.

Looking at the Gigantamax Duraludon in the arena, Leon exclaimed, "Impressive fighting spirit! This battle is far from over."

I won't let it end like this!

As he spoke, Leon had already recalled his Charizard using a Poké Ball.

"Well then, let me show you what Charizard looks like when it gets serious!"

His wristbands also burst forth with a captivating light, and the Charizard's Poké Ball rapidly expanded in his hand into a giant mosaic energy ball.

With a swift turn, Dan Di Meng tossed the enormous energy ball high into the air.

Gigantamax!

Amidst the dazzling light, another enormous shadow appeared on the battlefield, and a scorching heat permeated the entire venue.

A Gigantamax Charizard, over thirty meters tall, with wings that had transformed into flames, appeared opposite the Gigantamax Duraludon.

"Charizard has also completed Gigantamax! Now it's a battle between two Gigantamax Pokémon!"

The entire venue was filled with a frenzied atmosphere at that moment.

Seeing that Leon had also activated Gigantamax, Raihana launched the first attack.

"Roar! Gale! Unleash a fierce sandstorm! Go forth, colossal rock!"

Amidst Qibana's chuunibyou-ish words, Gigantamax Duraludon unleashed a Dynamax move.

A massive stone tablet, hundreds of meters tall, shot into the sky and then slammed down on the Gigantamax Charizard with a deafening roar.

Faced with this earth-shattering blow, the Pill Emperor flung his cloak and threw a powerful punch forward.

"Maximum Fighter!"

As Gigantamax Charizard swung its fist, a massive energy field condensed on its right fist, distorting the surrounding air with this terrifying energy.

The two Dynamax moves collided on the field, and the giant stone monument was shattered by Charizard's punch.

Countless pieces of rock flew everywhere, and even the stands far from the battlefield were not spared.
