Chapter 63: The Ongoing Battle, Sceptile Civil War!

"Aerodactyl, don't give it a chance to dodge. Use Stone Edge!"

Seeing Meowth rely on its agile speed and recoil momentum to evade Aerodactyl's attack, Zhang Feng immediately ordered Aerodactyl to unleash a full-coverage Stone Edge!

Hearing Zhang Feng's command, Aerodactyl let out a roar and instantly gathered Rock-type energy.

The next moment, a multitude of sharp stones materialized all around Aerodactyl!

Accompanied by Aerodactyl's roar, countless rocks rained down toward Meowth like a barrage of bullets!

Witnessing this fierce offensive, Tyson immediately shouted to Meowth, "Meowth, use Fury Swipes to shatter all incoming stones, and combine it with Iron Tail and Brick Break to block Stone Edge completely!"

Upon receiving Tyson's command, Meowth nodded instantly, maneuvering with its nimble body to dodge the Stone Edge attack. Whenever dodging was impossible, it deployed various moves to counter them.

Seeing how fiercely tenacious this Meowth was, Zhang Feng could not help but reveal a look of admiration.

True to being the champion of this year's Hoenn League Ever Grande Conference, its main powerhouse possessed a level of true strength comparable to Zhang Feng's ace Pokémon!

"Aerodactyl, use Aerial Ace!"

Prompted by Aerodactyl's charge, Aerial Ace successfully struck Meowth, the immense force directly sending Meowth flying backward!

At the same time, the surrounding floating Stone Edge projectiles converged on Meowth all at once.

Suffering continuous attacks, Meowth displayed a painful expression and began to pant heavily; clearly, this combo cost Meowth a significant amount of stamina.

"Meowth, use Water Sport!"

"Aerodactyl, use Protect, then use Stealth Rock!"

Following Tyson's command, Meowth cried out as a powerful stream of water gathered and struck forward!

Fortunately, Zhang Feng was prepared for this. If Water Sport landed, not only would Aerodactyl's attack power decrease, but type disadvantage would also put Aerodactyl at a disadvantage!

When that layer of green protective barrier appeared, Aerodactyl remained completely unharmed.

Seeing Zhang Feng evade his finishing move, Tyson and Meowth wore rather grim expressions.

The next moment, a massive quantity of stones spread across the entire battlefield before vanishing from sight.

This move was none other than Stealth Rock. It targeted the opponent's next incoming Pokémon with unavoidable entry hazard damage, while simultaneously crushing any thoughts Tyson had of switching Meowth out of battle!

After all, given Meowth's current stamina, sending it back out later would likely result in it being instantly picked off!

With no other choice, Tyson had to fight to the bitter end!

"Meowth, use Trailblaze!"

"Aerodactyl, Hyper Beam, finish it!"

Accompanied by a green beam of light, Aerodactyl showed a pained expression as Trailblaze landed squarely, which in turn provoked Aerodactyl's ferocious nature!

As a prehistoric hunter, being pressured by Rayquaza was one thing, but how could it allow itself to be bullied by a mere little Meowth?

"Roar!"

Letting out a fierce, thunderous roar, Aerodactyl instantly unleashed a pillar of orange-yellow energy that blasted directly into Meowth!

The explosive force of the impact blew Meowth away.

At this point, no matter how strong it was, having absorbed Aerodactyl's ultimate move head-on, Meowth's defeat was unquestionable!

As the dust and debris stirred up by Hyper Beam clouded the area, everyone temporarily lost sight of the battlefield.

"Who won?"

After a long while, as the dust cleared, a incapacitated Meowth was revealed lying at the bottom of a massive crater, while Aerodactyl stood proudly, roaring in victory toward Meowth!

"Ding-dong! Aerodactyl defeated Meowth, gained 785 experience points, leveled up! Current level: Lv54!"

With Meowth's defeat, the first of Tyson's top three aces had fallen!

After a brief moment of thought, Tyson brought out his third Pokémon—a Donphan!

"Ding-dong! Donphan's current status is as follows:"

Pokémon: Donphan
Level: 47
Ability: Sturdy
Type: Ground
Potential: Purple
Bond Evolution: Locked
Mega Evolution: Locked

However, the moment Donphan appeared on the battlefield, Stealth Rock instantly activated, dealing substantial damage to it right off the bat!

Seeing Donphan suffer from Stealth Rock, Zhang Feng immediately commanded, "Aerodactyl, keep fighting! Use Giga Impact!"

As his words fell, Aerodactyl soared high into the sky, its entire body enveloped in swirling purple-white spiral energy.

Utilizing the downward momentum from the high altitude, it crashed straight down and took out Donphan in a single blow!

"Donphan is unable to battle! Aerodactyl wins! Since Trainer Tyson has had three Pokémon incapacitated, we will now have a ten-minute intermission!"

Upon hearing Professor Birch's declaration, Zhang Feng and Tyson simultaneously recalled their respective Pokémon.

Although only the first half of the match had concluded, both trainers had gained a preliminary understanding of each other's strength.

Tyson was originally the champion of this year's Hoenn League Ever Grande Conference!

Yet his strongest Pokémon should be Metagross, Meowth, and Sceptile. This meant that, given Zhang Feng's current condition, their strengths were practically neck and neck!

Therefore, barring any unexpected variables, the championship of this year's Hoenn League Ever Grande Conference would very likely fall into Zhang Feng's hands!

Of course, compared to the original storyline, Morrison was participating this year as well, plus an awakened Ash; this year's League Conference promised to be exceptionally brilliant!

"Zhang Feng, you're really strong. It seems you'll be a formidable contender for the championship in this year's Ever Grande Conference!"

Hearing Tyson's remark, Zhang Feng smiled and replied, "Until the very last moment, nobody knows how it will turn out. Besides, trainers like you surely don't keep all your absolute strongest Pokémon in reserve right from the start, do you?"

Tyson merely smiled at Zhang Feng's words and offered no response.

Soon enough, the second half of the match commenced. This time, Tyson and Zhang Feng simultaneously hurled their Poké Balls, and two athletic, agile Sceptile stepped onto the battlefield side by side!

"Both of them are Sceptile? This is getting interesting!"

As the latter half of the battle began, both Sceptile locked eyes with one another, radiating intense fighting spirit!

"Sceptile, use Sunny Day!"
