"Charizard, Solar Beam!"
Solar Beam is a Grass-type special attack with 120 power. In the first turn, it gathers solar energy to charge, and in the second turn, it fires a beam to attack.
Just above Charizard's head, the scattered and gentle sunlight seemed to be drawn by a mysterious force, gradually converging to a single point.
As time passed, this sunlight eventually condensed into a core light mass emitting a dazzling glow. What was surprising was that this light mass, seemingly composed of sunlight, did not contain Fire-type energy as one might expect, but rather Grass-type energy continuously converging from all directions!
The Grass-type energy within the light mass constantly squeezed and merged, causing the entire light mass to become increasingly compact.
At the same time, the Grass-type energy seemed to gain its own consciousness, becoming restlessly agitated, as if it could break free and erupt at any moment.
Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound echoed! A green laser, as thick as a typical water bucket, struck Bombirdier's body with lightning speed.
The powerful laser had astonishing might, instantly piercing through Bombirdier's hard feathers and thick flesh.
However, that wasn't the end of it! After hitting Bombirdier, the laser did not stop, but rather swept horizontally like an incredibly agile giant python at an extremely fast speed, then fiercely struck the equally unprepared Mandibuzz nearby.
In an instant, a deafening rumble suddenly erupted! Even the surrounding air produced strong shockwaves due to the intense skill collision.
Accompanying the loud noise, thick black smoke billowed into the sky, rapidly spreading and completely engulfing the area where the fierce confrontation had just occurred.
A painful bird's shriek emerged from deep within the black smoke, echoing across the vast sky.
As the black smoke gradually dissipated, the scene became clear—the two heavily injured bird Pokémon were falling out from beyond the black smoke, their bodies losing control, plummeting rapidly in a free-fall…
The two Water Blade Gang Senior Cadres looked at the two Pokémon, whose fates were unknown, and were greatly alarmed: "A Grass-type skill defeating two Grass-resistant Elite Four Pokémon in one hit?! Then... the opponent must at least be Champion level!"
Just then, another Senior Cadres suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Run! Everyone, quickly escape in different directions!" His voice was filled with terror and panic, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
Upon hearing this, a questioning voice asked, "Run? Where can we run to?" The speaker was Li Guanjun, his face indifferent.
The three Senior Cadres of the Water Blade Gang were astonished to discover that Li Guanjun and his partner, the massive and mighty Charizard, had already flown to a mere five meters above their heads!
In an instant, the three Senior Cadres were scared out of their wits, their faces ashen. They had no idea when this mysterious person had silently appeared above them.
At this moment, only one thought remained in their minds—to escape desperately!
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Before they could make any move, Li Guanjun's cold, emotionless voice came over like a death knell.
He said calmly, "Charizard, Heat Wave."
Just a few simple words, yet they contained endless killing intent and indifference. His tone was as calm as water, yet like a high-and-mighty judge, he had already rendered the most just and cruel verdict on the fate of these three people with a mere understatement.
Charizard flapped its massive wings, and explosive Fire-type energy gathered within them. As Charizard flapped, it drove a fierce wind carrying the explosive Fire-type energy towards the enemy.
When the three of them clearly saw the appearance of the approaching person, their expressions were even more terrified than facing death: "No, you're the Champion of Hua Guo..."
Before they could even let out a scream, the bodies of the three enemies and the Pokémon they were riding, including the Elite Four Honchkrow, began to undergo horrifying changes!
Their once glossy fur now seemed as if it had been placed in a high-temperature furnace, slowly being roasted until wisps of steam emanated from it. These wisps of steam rose, like swirling mist, but they could not conceal the terrifying sight—their skin began to crack inch by inch, until their pale white skeletons were exposed.
As time passed, the vitality within their bodies rapidly drained away at an astonishing speed. Their once vibrant life force instantly vanished without a trace, replaced only by a deathly silence and despair.
Finally, these bodies, deprived of life support, could no longer remain in the air, plummeting straight to the ground like kites with broken strings.
After a loud "bang," a cloud of dust rose, and the once formidable enemies were now nothing more than a pile of lifeless white bone remains.
The Champion did not stop, continuing to ride Charizard forward, pursuing the General he had been thinking about—Hydreigon.

Inside the Water Tower of the independent space~
Zhang Heng had a pink Mudkip perched on his shoulder, a slender Walking Wake by his side, and a Psyduck constantly clutching its head following behind him. Having passed the trials of the first two floors of the Water Tower, he stepped onto the third floor for the final trial.
He passed through the transparent light curtain of the second floor and entered the final trial grounds of the third floor.
Zhang Heng was full of surprise, carefully surveying his surroundings. He was astonished to find that this final floor was completely different from the previous levels he had experienced. It was as if this place was an independently existing small world, forming its own unique space.
At this moment, Zhang Heng could no longer consider his environment as merely existing within a tall tower, because everything he saw before him was too real.
What unfolded before him was a picturesque scene: green mountains and clear waters intertwined, with continuous undulating mountain ranges; crystal-clear rivers, and a waterfall whose source could not be seen. The waterfall struck the rock face, forming small streams that produced crisp, pleasant babbling sounds; lush and dense forests soared into the clouds, adorned with various exotic flowers and plants.
However, this secret realm had one distinct feature—the sky of the entire world presented a hazy gray hue.
Within the stream, active Water-type energy began to pulse and condense. Then, a line of blue text appeared above the stream, presenting itself before Zhang Heng.
"Welcome, trial participant, to the final test. You will now be provided with two opponents in the trial; choose one for a full battle, with the requirement to defeat it head-on. There are no restrictions on skills in this level."
