Pokémon: When the World Changed

Chapter 573 568: Tyranitar Enters the Scene

"Only a Tyranitar is left for Ethan, right?"

"In a situation where such powerful rain clouds have already condensed from the start... Even if the Sandstorm Tyrant, Tyranitar, comes out, it won't be able to do anything anymore, will it?"

Thomas looked at the torrential rain that kept falling endlessly from the sky and showed a self-satisfied expression.

Ethan's Charizard, capable of using the move Sunny Day, and Ethan's Tyranitar, capable of summoning Sandstorm, were completely countered by his Goodra.

"The victory has already been decided. Under rainy weather, a Rock-type Tyranitar cannot possibly face Goodra."

On the field, most of the dragon messengers thought the same. With rain that intense, perhaps Goodra would not even need to attack; Tyranitar would end up being defeated by the water alone.

Even Naira and Marcus, who knew Ethan well, sighed slightly at that moment.

It was not that they did not trust Ethan, but the power of the Rain Dance move of a Goodra that possessed a Dragon Pearl was simply too terrifying.

Especially Naira: as a disciple of Champion Leo, she had certain knowledge about weather, and precisely because of that she was so convinced.

If one only compared the power of weather moves, there were already very few Pokémon capable of facing that Goodra.

"A Goodra that absorbed the power of the Dragon Pearl and finally completed its evolution... That Dragon Pearl, evolving together with Goodra, has already undergone a mutation."

"This mutated Dragon Pearl was handed over by Thomas to our Dragon Valley for research. The rain energy contained within it has reached an absolutely terrifying level."

"Among Pokémon of the same level, the weather moves of this Goodra are invincible!"

The valley master of the Federal League smiled at that moment, with a proud expression in his eyes.

Not only that valley master of the Federal League; even Master Magnus sighed softly.

However, he showed no disappointment at all. After all, for a Pokémon Researcher to have reached this far relying on Charizard was already something extraordinary.

On the field, Ethan held Tyranitar's Poké Ball and observed all the reactions around him. The corner of his lips lifted slightly.

"Tyranitar, it seems that no one trusts you."

Upon hearing Ethan's words, Tyranitar's Poké Ball began to shake violently.

It was obvious that Tyranitar was not satisfied. If it was only that level of Rain Dance, it had enough confidence to face it.

"Then, go, Tyranitar!"

Ethan smiled slightly. Although the rainy weather was indeed powerful...

Having seen with his own eyes Tyranitar unleash its full strength with Sandstorm, Ethan had absolute confidence in it.

With the throw of the Poké Ball, the Sandstorm Tyrant, Tyranitar, made its appearance.

"TYRRAAANNN!"

The moment it entered the field, Tyranitar let out a roar. Sand and dust around it quickly began to rise: its ability Sand Stream had activated!

Splash, splash!

The rain from the sky continued to fall without rest.

However, at the moment those drops approached Tyranitar's body...

A violent sandstorm suddenly erupted, causing all the rain to deflect and scatter to the sides.

"What!?"

"Even in a situation like this, Tyranitar's sandstorm still has this level of power!"

Seeing that Tyranitar could deploy a sandstorm even under those conditions, everyone was stunned.

"It can still use Sandstorm...?"

"Goodra, use Rain Dance with all your strength!"

"As long as you suppress its sandstorm, this battle will be won!"

Thomas frowned slightly when he saw this, but he did not show much concern. Goodra had not yet used all of its strength.

After hearing Thomas's command, Goodra nodded and immediately activated the Dragon Pearl it held.

The black clouds in the sky became even denser, forming a dark and oppressive mass, as if the sky were about to collapse.

Splash, splash!

The rain fell with even greater pressure.

The sandstorm, which had previously been expanding little by little, was suppressed again.

"TYRRAAANNN!"

Seeing this, Tyranitar frowned. With a roar, it opened both arms.

In addition to the Sand Stream ability, it once again used the move Sandstorm. As the two effects overlapped, the sandy weather on the field became even stronger.

Boom, boom, boom!

The two climatic forces began to clash violently on the battlefield.

When Tyranitar also started to use its full strength, the sandstorm weather gradually stabilized.

Like a giant umbrella, the sandstorm enveloped Tyranitar, preventing the falling rain from breaking through it.

"Under Goodra's Rain Dance at full power..."

"This Tyranitar still manages to resist it! The power of this sandstorm is absurdly strong!"

Witnessing this scene, the dragon messengers watching were once again stunned. That was a Goodra that possessed a mutated Dragon Pearl!

How could Tyranitar possibly face something like that?

Could it be that Tyranitar also possessed some treasure capable of rivaling the Dragon Pearl?

"It resisted it...?"

The valley master of the Federal League was also stunned, his pupils slightly contracted.

"No, it's not just that it resisted it."

"Right now, the reason Goodra's Rain Dance maintains the advantage is only because it launched the move first. In other words, the power of its Rain Dance has already reached the maximum, while Tyranitar has only just begun accumulating the power of the sandstorm."

Surprise appeared in Master Magnus's eyes, along with a trace of anticipation.

"An even stronger desert power? How is that possible...?"

The valley master of the Federal League was about to refute when he suddenly froze.

While they were speaking, the area covered by the sandstorm on the field suddenly expanded once more.

"As expected, Tyranitar has been raised eating Smooth Rocks since it was little. After consuming so many Smooth Rocks, the sandstorm power accumulated within it has already reached an extremely terrifying level."

And that was not even counting the fact that Tyranitar had not yet fully digested all the energy of those Smooth Rocks.

Seeing this, Ethan shook his head slightly. When he captured Tyranitar, its control over energy was still rather crude.

But after Ethan's training, and even with only basic training, Tyranitar's strength had already begun to increase at an astonishing speed.

If one day it completely absorbed all the energy of the Smooth Rocks accumulated over so many years, Ethan suspected that within his team, there might not be any Pokémon capable of facing Tyranitar.

Raised from a young age feeding on Smooth Rocks, Tyranitar had practically been born with divine-level resources.

Tyranitar's life... could perfectly be described as a life with "cheats activated."

While Ethan reflected, Tyranitar's sandstorm power had already been fully unleashed.

At that instant, the sandstorm weather occupied half of the sky. The space seemed to divide into two: in the upper part reigned the rain, and in the lower part dominated the sandstorm, clearly separated.
