"Prince Kaide just wasn't taking the first round seriously. In the second round, he'll definitely put Julian in his place."
Behind Kaide, a group of foreign trainers stood together. They weren't from Gallia, but their home countries were all close allies of it.
As for the Drakorians in the crowd, the vast majority supported Julian—aside from a small number of dissenters.
On the other hand, some of the foreign trainers at Imperial University were backing Kaide instead.
Of course, not all foreign trainers were against Julian.
A few of them even held up a massive banner, with bold words written on it:
Julian soon sent out his second Pokémon, the moment it landed, the ground trembled slightly.
Pokémon: Aggron (Steel/Rock)
Held Item: Metal Coat
Moves: Roar, Tackle, Harden, Headbutt, Protect, Iron Head, Metal Burst, Rock Tomb, Metal Claw, Earth Power, Take Down, Iron Defense, Double-Edge, Metal Sound, Autotomize
TMs: Earthquake, Sandstorm, Dig, Shock Wave, Rock Slide, Rock Smash, Water Pulse, Dragon Claw, Focus Punch, Iron Tail, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Mega Punch, Mega Kick, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Stone Edge, Wide Guard, Reckless, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Sand Tomb, Bulldoze, Hydro Pump
Egg Moves: Stomp, Heavy Slam, Endeavor, Dragon Rush
At 6.5 meters tall and weighing over 3 tons, Aggron stood like an ancient giant on the battlefield.
Its silver armor gleamed like diamonds under the sun, while its twin horns looked as though they could pierce the sky itself.
It was the very definition of massive, fierce, and imposing.
"Did the ground just shake just now?"
"Not gonna lie, this Aggron could probably one-shot my Pikachu."
"That size, that armor… even a Tyranitar would be impressed!"
"That gleaming armor… did it really eat raw diamonds?"
"Aggron: The walking diamond."
Men were naturally drawn to things that were strong and dominant—and Aggron embodied all of that perfectly.
It didn't matter what type of Pokémon trainer you were. If you were a guy, chances were, you'd be captivated by Aggron.
Even Kaide himself couldn't help but stare, his eyes gleaming at the sight of Julian's towering steel beast.
Kaide was also a Steel-type trainer, so he understood better than most just how exceptional this Aggron was. Too bad Aggron was only found in Drakoria.
And even in Drakoria, it was exclusively controlled by the Walker family.
The Walkers only sold Green-tier Aron to outsiders—never Cyan or above.
Of course, Green-tier Pokémon could be trained to Cyan, but the resources required were immense.
Kaide took a long time to send out his next Pokémon, still admiring Aggron with an appreciative gaze.
Julian didn't rush him. In fact, he felt like Kaide wasn't as annoying as before.
After all, seeing his Pokémon admired by others felt good as a trainer.
Aggron, however, was losing patience, especially with the way that trainer was staring at him—it gave him the creeps. It stomped the ground heavily, leaving a deep footprint.
Aggron: "What are you looking at?!"
Kaide chuckled, realizing Aggron's frustration, before finally sending out his Pokémon.
Pokémon: Copperajah (Steel)
Held Item: Lagging Tail
Moves: Heavy Slam, Rock Smash, Tackle, Rollout, Growl, Stomp, Bulldoze, Iron Defense, Dig, Strength, Iron Head, Play Rough, High Horsepower, Superpower
TMs: Giga Impact, Hyper Beam, Protect, Dig, Sand Tomb, Rock Tomb, Rock Blast, Mud Shot, Rock Slide, Body Slam
Egg Moves: Fissure, Earthquake, Double-Edge, Steel Beam
This Copperajah came from a Advanced-level secret realm deep within the ocean—a secret realm monopolized by European nations.
For most other countries, getting in was nearly impossible.
Standing at 3 meters tall, Copperajah would normally tower over most Pokémon, Unfortunately, this time, it was up against a behemoth.
At over 6 meters tall, Aggron completely dwarfed Copperajah—its head barely reached Aggron's stomach.
Aggron beckoned it provocatively with one claw.
Copperajah swung its long trunk in response, releasing a puff of white steam from its nostrils.
It was angry—but without orders from its trainer, it stayed still.
"Copperajah, Heavy Slam!" Kaide ordered.
Like Aggron, Copperajah also had the ability Heavy Metal, doubling its weight. Although this slowed it down, but any body slam attack became devastatingly powerful.
As it charged forward, its sheer momentum was terrifying. It felt like a meteor plummeting toward the battlefield, carrying an unstoppable force.
A white current of energy enveloped Copperajah's massive frame. As it moved forward, the sheer weight of its charge carved a half-meter-deep trench into the battlefield.
Even though there was a protective barrier, some spectators felt their chests tighten just from the pressure of its charge.
Julian gave the same command.
Aggron started moving, with each step, its speed gradually increased. The ground trembled beneath its enormous weight.
As it crossed the 100-meter mark, the force of its charge grew even stronger—the battlefield began to crack under its feet.
Chunks of shattered rock flew up from the fractures, but the violent currents of air around Aggron instantly ground them into dust.
100 meters… 50 meters… 30 meters…
The gap between them narrowed rapidly. The collision force between the two Pokémon was about to reach its peak.
Aggron lowered its head slightly, its sharp horns gleaming dangerously as it thundered forward.
Meanwhile, Copperajah's twin tusks became coated in whirling white energy, spinning at high speed as they tore through the air.
20 meters… 10 meters… 5 meters…
Under the terrified yet eager gazes of the audience—
The two Pokémon collided in a thunderous impact, shaking the entire battlefield.
The deafening sound of metal crashing against metal pierced the sky.
The ground beneath their feet disintegrated into fine dust upon impact, while spiderweb-like cracks spread outward from the collision point.
Shockwaves, roaring soundwaves, and flying debris ravaged the battlefield in every direction.
