Fortunately, the shield-wielding monsters were there, and their interconnected King's Shield shields protected the entire audience stands.

The flying debris created ripples on the protective shield amidst the gasps of the audience before finally settling into stillness.

After the explosion, the situation at the scene became clear again.

In this clash of Dynamax moves, Charizard clearly had the upper hand, leaving a faint fist-shaped mark on Duraludon's chest.

Kibana's roar rang out again, "Don't give up! Dragon! Roar! Max Steel!"

Gigantamax Duraludon slammed its arms into the ground, and chunks of steel energy broke free from the ground's restraints, turning the entire arena upside down as it attacked Gigantamax Charizard.

Kibana's fighting spirit seemed to have affected Leon, and Leon's command also became somewhat childish.

"Let me show you the ultimate champion moment! Gigantamax Hellfire!"

As Dan Di shouted, the Gigantamax Charizard roared back, and its fiery wings spread wide, blotting out the sky.

The next moment, the pair of huge fiery wings were shot out by the Gigantamax Charizard, transforming into a firebird that swooped down on the oncoming Max Steel.

Gigantamax Inferno and Gigantamax Steel meet on the field.

With a single charge from the firebird, the massive steel structures shattered and crumbled.

The overwhelming gap left the audience in a state of utter shock.

In this competition, the gap between the two was laid bare.

After shattering all the steel that broke through the ground, the Firebird soared into the air under the control of the Gigantamax Charizard.

Dan Di opened his arms and performed a one-handed salute, his voice ringing out once more, "Come on! Enjoy your peak moment to the fullest!"

As soon as Dan Di finished speaking, the firebird roared and soared down, instantly striking the Gigantamax Duraludon.

"boom!"

The violent explosion engulfed the Gigantamax Duraludon, and the shockwave from the explosion triggered the King's Shield barrier cast by the surrounding Aegislash once again.

This time, even the King's Shield barrier experienced violent tremors.

As the violent explosion subsided, the aluminum-steel dragon's body rapidly shrank, returning to its normal size before crashing heavily to the ground.

The referee, protected by Aegislash, quickly ran into the arena and, after checking Duraludon's condition, announced loudly.

"Aluminum Steel Dragon is unable to fight! Champion Dante! He has successfully defended his title!"

The audience in the hall cheered.

Charizard, having deactivated its Gigantamax form, flew back to Dan's side. Dan looked at his partner with delight.

"Charizard, you did a great job! You've proven our strength once again."

At this moment, the spectators in the surrounding stands began to call out Danti's name and cheer and scream.

Amidst the cheers, Dante raised his arm and struck a cool pose.

"Thank you everyone for your support!"

With Dan's response, the cheers from the stands became even more enthusiastic.

Just as Chibana retrieved the Aluminum Steel Dragon and was about to leave, Dante walked up to him.

"My wish is to make the trainers in the Galar region stronger."

At this point, Dante extended his right hand to Kibana, "I am still looking forward to your next challenge."

Kibana smoothed the hair behind his ear. "Before that, I will practice and hone my skills with other gym trainers."

When I make significant progress again, that will be the time for me to challenge you once more!

After saying that, Qibana shook hands with Dandi.

Seeing this, Fuyuki immediately took on his duty again, "Dear viewers, let's give these two trainers who have brought us such a wonderful battle a round of applause and cheers!"

As Fuyuki fanned himself, the atmosphere in the venue became lively again, and Fuyuki breathed a sigh of relief.

Because once D'Antoni and Chibana leave the field, he can collect his money and leave.

Chibana and Dante waved to each other amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere, then exited through the players' tunnel.

Strangely, Dan-di showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he waited until the venue quieted down a bit before shouting loudly in Fuyuki's direction.

"Everyone, although today is the championship challenge that Cibana has issued to me, it is a rare opportunity, and I would also like to challenge someone."

With the declaration of challenge, Leon pointed his finger at Fuyuki on the commentary stand.

"Mr. Fuyuki! As the strongest trainer, please accept my challenge as the champion of the Galar region."

Dongshu sighed silently. What was wrong with this Dan Emperor? Couldn't he just give her a break and let her make this quick buck and go home happily?

Given the current situation, even if Fuyuki wanted to refuse, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

If I back down here, who knows what kind of reports will be published online and in the media tomorrow?

He was ready to accept the challenge at this point, and it was a decision he had carefully considered.

Although Fuyuki is often touted as the strongest on the internet and in various media, he has no record of defeating a regional champion in an official setting.

So while Dan's challenge is troublesome, if he can resolve it, he will have a record of defeating a regional champion in an official setting.

If anyone challenges him again in the future, he can say that if they want to challenge him, they should first defeat Dan in a public battle.

If he can't defeat Dan-tei, even if Fuyuki refuses the challenge, no media outlet will dare to interpret it casually.

Just as Fuyuki was preparing to respond to Leon's challenge, Rose's voice came through his earphones.

"Fuyuki! I'm so sorry. I didn't expect Dan to be so rash as to challenge you after the match."

I'm truly sorry for the trouble I've caused you, Dan.

"Could you please refuse Dan-di's challenge?"

Fuyuki didn't answer, because he knew there must be a camera pointed at his face at that moment.

He took off his headphones and put them aside, then picked up the microphone, stood up, and amidst the gasps of the audience, stepped onto the railing and raised his arms in a shout.

"A true trainer never refuses any challenge! So everyone here, cheer for my upcoming battle with Leon!"

The entire venue immediately erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

Fuyuki took a Poké Ball from his waist and gently tapped it. With a flash of red light, a floating skateboard appeared there.

What was released was Genesect Trotom in its flight form.

With a quick leap, Dongshu pushed off the railing and jumped onto Rotom's back. "Rotom! Let's go!"

Rotom carried Fuyuki at high speed, flying around the cheering stands for a lap before gracefully landing opposite Leon.

Rotom has also transformed from skateboard form into battle form, and she can't wait to show off her skills!

Dan Di looked at Dong Shu with some surprise. He did not expect Dong Shu to accept the challenge without hesitation.

However, this surprise was quickly replaced by excitement.

Because Fuyuki is the only trainer who has caused him to suffer a defeat in an official match.

If he defeats Fuyuki, then he will be the undefeated trainer and the strongest trainer!

Fuyuki walked up to Dante, glanced at his watch, and saw that it was already 10:37.

"Let's have a 1v1 battle now, because my cruise back to Hoenn will depart at 12 o'clock sharp."

Dongshu's words brought a hint of joy to Dandi's brow.

If it were a real 6v6 all-out battle, even if I had a way to defeat that Charizard, it would be very difficult to defeat a Blaziken of the same level as Charizard.

Now that Fuyuki has proposed a 1v1 battle, all he needs to do is go all out to defeat the Pokémon that Fuyuki has sent out. How could he not be happy?

So Dandi performed a gesture of respect to Dongshu, placing his hand on his chest, and said, "As you wish."

610 Fuyuki was kicked out of the house.

At this moment, the referee, who had just left the field, seemed to have received a notification and quickly appeared.

"Next up is a 1v1 temporary challenge! The two sides are the strongest Gym Leader in the Hoenn region, the undefeated Trainer Fuyuki!"

And the pride of our Galar region, the No. 1 ranked trainer in the World Ranked Ladder! The Galar region's champion, Leon!

The stands immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers and shouts of the two players' names.

"Now, both players, please send out your respective Pokémon!"

Upon hearing this, Genosek Trotom crossed his arms and pretended to wiggle his wrists, as if he wanted to go on stage.

This action was her preparatory activity before imitating Blaziken and Charizard to teach Arcanine a lesson. She always felt that Blaziken and Charizard who made this action had an inexplicable composure.

He's so incredibly handsome!

Today she finally had the chance to do this action herself, which made her secretly delighted.

However, the next moment, Rotom was pulled back into the ball by Fuyuki.

In Galar matches, you cannot directly bring Pokémon into the arena.

Moreover, Fuyuki had another consideration.

Although Rotom could easily defeat Leon's ace Charizard even if it used the full power of Genesect's body, Fuyuki still didn't plan to let Rotom go.

At this point, sending out any Pokémon is more meaningful than sending out Charizard.

So after obtaining Rotom, Fuyuki didn't hesitate to take out Charizard's Poké Ball and, without waiting for Leon, threw the Poké Ball directly.

With a flash of red light, the neckless Super Charizard X, with its entire body in purplish-black, purple flames constantly oozing from its mouth, and bulging muscles, appeared on the battlefield.

Upon seeing the Charizard in this state, Dan's eyes narrowed sharply.

He remembered clearly that this was the Mega Evolution form of Fuyuki's Charizard.

Charizard was just released and clearly hasn't undergone Mega Evolution, but it still appeared in its Mega Evolved form.

This must be another breakthrough for Fuyuki's Charizard.

He didn't know that Charizard's breakthrough was more than just a simple achievement.

Fuyuki also gave the dragon-type stone tablet fragment he had found earlier to Charizard.

The Dragon-type stone shard amplified Charizard's already formidable Dragon-type energy to a terrifying degree.

At this point, Charizard would not be at a disadvantage even in a head-on battle with the Holy Swordsmen.
