The Rotom drones keenly captured this image.
The close-up on the big screen elicited good-natured laughter from the audience.
The awkward situation of the Sinnoh Uranus, combined with the factory chimneys billowing thick smoke behind him, created a wonderful comedic effect.
Even the serious referee robot blinked its electronic eyes twice, and a brief display of garbled emoticons appeared on its chest screen.
"Although it was a miscalculation, it doesn't mean we can't fight."
Da Ye suddenly loosened her hair and forced a smile at the camera.
But when he turned to the duckbill fire beast in the arena, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He was secretly observing Gyarados's movements after Dragon Dance.
"Duckbill Flame Beast, now's your chance! Use Sunny Day!"
Da Ye suddenly raised his right arm and snapped his fingers.
The Duckbill Flame Beast's twin cannons jerked violently, sending two blazing white energy projectiles hurtling into the sky before colliding violently with a deafening crash against the dome of the steel arena...
"Boom!"
The intense light from the explosion instantly dispelled the usual industrial gloom of the city, and a fireball resembling an artificial sun hovered above the field.
The high temperature caused the metal ground to turn red, and the steam pipes no longer emitted white mist but scorching heat waves.
The cannon of the duckbill fire beast emitted blue smoke, and the lava patterns on its skin were now dazzlingly bright.
Gasps of surprise rippled through the audience, and some hurriedly pulled out their sunglasses.
One of the good brothers' Glaceon even curled up uncomfortably, and the Rotom drone's lens fogged up, forcing them to turn on the high-temperature filter to continue filming.
Under this artificial blazing sun, Gyarados's deep blue scales reflected a dangerous gleam.
Li Chen narrowed his eyes, watching as the iron beneath the duckbill fire beast's feet melted into crimson molten metal; the battle was shifting towards an extreme environment...
Indeed, it makes sense to compare Elite Four Pokémon to Cataclysmic Realms!
Chapter 592 The Exploding Potato Flame Beast
"Big characters burst into flames!"
As soon as Da Ye's roar subsided, the cannons on the duckbill fire beast's arms emitted a dazzling orange-red light.
In the distorted, high-temperature air, a blazing, "T"-shaped flame roared out, instantly melting the metal fence in its path into molten iron.
"Gyarados, let's dance one more time!"
Li Chen's voice carried a resolute determination, as if he were making a desperate gamble.
Gyarados circled rapidly in the air, the scorching air currents carrying it narrowly through the gap in the "big" shaped flame.
Its scales were charred at the edges, yet it still unleashed an astonishing aura the moment it completed its dragon dance.
"Roar--!"
Using the momentum of its dive, Gyarados plummeted straight down like a meteorite.
The Duckbill Flame Beast hastily raised its head, the cannon still emitting overheated white smoke; at this distance, there was no time to recharge!
The Rotom drone's camera shook violently in the heat, yet it remained pointed at Gyarados.
The moment Gyarados swooped down to its lowest point, a dazzling blue light suddenly burst forth from its tail—a powerful strike accompanied by a torrent of water!
Boom!
The Water Tail struck the Magmortar's chest precisely, and the billowing white mist instantly enveloped half the area.
The intense reaction between the high-temperature metal and the water produced a piercing "sizzling" sound. As the duckbill fire beast staggered backward, the cannon barrel no longer spewed flames, but scalding steam.
To make matters worse, Gyarados spun around, creating a whirlpool of rushing water around Magmortar.
The king-level molten lava beast struggled to stand firm, only to find that its metal footplates were stuck to the rapidly cooling steel floor. The lava field created by the bright sunshine had now become a cage binding it!
"Oh no..."
Da Ye's explosive hairstyle was half collapsed, and he watched helplessly as the duckbill fire beast futilely waved its cannon barrel in the steamy mist.
The Rotom drone zoomed in, revealing a close-up of Gyarados taking off again with the momentum of its Dragon Dance, the water droplets dripping from its scales dazzling under the searchlight.
At this moment, Gyarados was surrounded by a golden vortex of the Triple Dragon Dance, and every azure scale trembled slightly due to energy overload.
It hovered briefly in mid-air before suddenly plunging into the field!
"Waterfall climbing!"
Li Chen's order arrived.
Gyarados was instantly enveloped by the torrent, transforming into a waterfall cascading from the sky.
The water flow accelerated continuously under the enhanced propulsion of the Dragon Dance, creating a sonic boom-like white shockwave in the air!
As soon as the Duckbill Flame Beast broke free from the solidified steel floor, it looked up and saw a curtain of water cascading down, obscuring the sky.
It instinctively crosses its cannons in defense, but the enhanced waterfall climbing technique is far superior to ordinary moves.
"Bang—crash!"
Gyarados burst through the water like a giant sea monster, its lower jaw slamming into Magmortar's belly.
The turbulent currents created a violent vortex in the enclosed steel arena, engulfing both Pokémon.
Gasps of surprise rippled through the audience as the red flashes of muted gunfire from the cannon barrels occasionally pierced the vortex, and the menacing dorsal fins of Gyarados appeared and disappeared in the shadows.
When the mist dissipated, the duckbill fire beast knelt in the puddles, its cannons hissing and emitting white smoke.
Gyarados hovered above its head, every scale dripping water, its scarlet pupils burning with a fierce light of victory.
Li Chen was somewhat surprised.
Despite such a devastating attack, the duckbill fire beast still stood shakily, its cannon barrels braced against the cracked steel floor, its lava-patterned skin flickering in and out.
This scene silenced the entire audience.
It should be known that Li Chen's Gyarados had already surpassed the level of an ordinary Elite Four member, not to mention the terrifying boost brought by the Triple Dragon Dance.
"A magnificent duckbill fire beast."
The ice crystals on Eileen's fingertips melted silently.
She could see clearly that this duck-billed fire beast was already very strong.
Da Ye's afro was unusually drooping, but a wild smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
He casually wiped the water splashed on his face and said in a hoarse voice, "Old partner, we've been underestimated."
Before the words were finished, the Duckbill Flame Beast suddenly raised its head and spewed out a flame mixed with black smoke, turning the water on the ground into a white mist.
Rotom's drone hurriedly zoomed out, and in the overexposed footage, Gyarados was astonished to discover that its prized water flow was transforming into a new weapon amidst the boiling steam around Magmortar.
A strange wisp of purple smoke suddenly seeped out from the white mist, coiling around Gyarados's body like a venomous snake.
"laugh--"
A faint corrosive sound rang out, and the golden light of the Triple Dragon Dance surrounding Gyarados dissipated inch by inch, like a spider web encountering fire.
The once surging power was completely "washed away" by the purple smoke, and even the shimmering light on the scales dimmed.
"Cleansing Smoke!"
Da Ye's voice pierced through the steam, "You think my old buddy can only breathe fire?"
The cannon barrel of the Duckbill Flame Beast was no longer spewing flames, but rather murky purplish-black smoke.
The smoke, brimming with poisonous energy, flowed perfectly through every scale of Gyarados, carried by the water vapor from the previous waterfall climb.
The trainers in the audience covered their mouths and noses.
Li Chen's gaze was obscured by the purple mist. He watched Gyarados stagger down from the sky and finally put away his composed expression.
"Gyarados..."
Li Chen stopped mid-sentence.
The cannon barrel of the Duckbill Flame Beast slowly drooped, and the last few wisps of purple smoke drifted from the overheated muzzle.
Its lava-patterned skin gradually darkened, and before its copper-bell-like eyes closed, it stubbornly blinked one last time in the direction of Gyarados...
"BOOM—!!!"
The heavy body of the duckbill fire beast crashed onto the riddled steel field, causing several loose rivets to bounce.
Da Ye's afro completely collapsed. He shook his head with a wry smile: "Sigh, what a reckless old buddy..."
As he spoke, his fingers gently pressed the Poké Ball recall button.
Gyarados was panting heavily as it watched the red light enveloping Magmortar.
Purple traces of poisonous smoke remained between its scales, but its opponent fared even worse.
The pair of cannons that they were so proud of were already bent and deformed due to overload, clearly indicating that they were already at their limit when releasing the clearing smoke.
The Rotom drone landed to scan, its lens hissing as it was corroded.
It flew wobbly to the referee robot, whose chest display showed the ruling: [Duckbill Flame Beast is unable to fight!]
The applause from the audience was uneven.
Some marveled at Gyarados's strength, while many more paid tribute to Magmortar's tenacity.
But one thing is certain: this Fire-type Pokémon withstood the triple Dragon Dance Waterfall attack and completed the crucial counterattack!
Bigleaf, one of Sinnoh's Fire-type Elite Four, truly lives up to his reputation...

Chapter 593 VS Infernape
Da Ye's fingertip slid along the Poké Ball belt at his waist, stopping precisely on the ball containing Buneary.
He suddenly grinned and tossed the Poké Ball high into the air.
"Let's make one more appearance, partner!"
The Poké Ball traced a beautiful arc in the air and burst open with a "click" at its highest point.
The long-eared rabbit's figure twirled down as lightly as a flower petal, landing steadily on the still-warm steel plate with one foot.
It looked up at Gyarados and its long ears twitched playfully.
"A surprise high-five!"
As soon as Da Ye gave the order, the long-eared rabbit's figure instantly turned into a white afterimage, its palms clasped together in front of its chest, creating a piercing sound as it cut through the air.
Its toes touched the still-smoking steel plate, leaving footprints on the metal surface with each step.
Just as the powerful paw pads were about to slam into Gyarados's face...
"return."
Li Chen's red Poké Ball arrived first, and Gyarados was recalled at the last second.
As soon as the replacement iron bag appeared, the mechanical penguin's cooling vent spewed out a cold current of absolute zero!
"Crackling sound—"
The long-eared rabbit's surprise high-five attack froze in mid-air, its right paw covered in thick frost.
Big Leaf's afro shivered from the cold, and he watched helplessly as Long-Eared Rabbit's signature move missed its mark.
"What's the story behind this lump of iron?"
Da Ye's brows furrowed, and the tips of his frizzy hair drooped down in confusion.
He had never seen such a peculiar Pokémon before.
The mechanical penguin's shell gleamed coldly, and the spherical device on its chest emitted a dangerous charging hum.
But the Four Heavenly Kings' fighting instincts made him make a decision immediately: "Whatever it is, just unleash the Thunder Fist!"
Upon hearing the sound, the long-eared rabbit moved, forcefully shattering the ice layer with its right fist, which was covered in frost, and once again wrapped with crackling lightning.
