Over the past few months, Nidoking's level had also advanced by leaps and bounds.
He broke through to the Senior Level, increasing his level by five to 42, almost catching up to Rhydon.
This was the power contained within the high-grade top-tier Moon Stone.
Matt's fingers twitched slightly as he issued an order to Charizard: "Charizard, use Smoke to confuse them, then take the opportunity to get close and attack with Dragon Claw!"
Upon hearing this, Charizard immediately opened his massive mouth, and a thick gray smoke instantly permeated the area, enveloping the entire battlefield in a hazy mist, blurring their vision.
Nidoking and Rhydon involuntarily retreated a few steps, attempting to avoid this sudden smoke screen. However, it was too late; they had no choice but to rely on their hearing and intuition to determine Charizard's position.
Seeing this, Giovanni quickly issued commands to Nidoking and Rhydon: "Nidoking, prepare to counter with Poison Jab; Rhydon, you are responsible for using Stomp to disperse the smoke, then prepare for a Drill Run attack!"
Rhydon let out a low roar, stomping his feet forcefully on the ground, and a strong shockwave spread from his feet, causing the smoke to gradually dissipate.
Just as the smoke cleared, Charizard had already attacked, but Rhydon and Nidoking were already prepared.
Nidoking's claws glowed with a purplish-black light, indicating the powerful Poison Jab attack.
Boom!!!
He stepped forward to meet the incoming Charizard; the Dragon Claw and Poison Jab collided, creating a tremendous sound and raising gusts of wind!!
In the struggle, although Nidoking had great strength, his level was a significant factor.
Just then, Rhydon seized the opportunity, charging fiercely towards Charizard and using Drill Run.
His hard, drill-like horn began to spin wildly, creating a current of air as it slammed hard into Charizard's abdomen, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.
Matt frowned upon seeing this, but he did not panic. Instead, he quickly issued a new command to Charizard: "Charizard, use Fire Spin to trap them."
Charizard immediately spread his wings, flapped them forcefully, and ascended into the sky. Then, a scorching Fire Spin instantly formed around him, engulfing both Nidoking and Rhydon.
Within the Fire Spin, the flames blazed fiercely, and the temperature was extremely high, causing Nidoking and Rhydon to feel intense heat and struggle desperately.
Giovanni seized the opportunity and issued commands to Nidoking and Rhydon:
"Nidoking, use Sludge Wave to attack; Rhydon, you are responsible for smashing the Fire Spin with Arm Thrust!"
Upon hearing this, Nidoking immediately spewed out muddy Sludge Wave from his mouth, which instantly pierced through the Fire Spin and headed towards Charizard.
Charizard flapped his wings, agilely dodging in mid-air, avoiding all of the Sludge Wave!
Meanwhile, Rhydon leaped up, swinging his massive forelimbs, and used Arm Thrust.
With a loud bang!
His hard fist slammed heavily into the Fire Spin, instantly shattering it into pieces.
Matt, unwilling to show weakness, commanded: "Charizard, Air Slash counterattack, then Flamethrower!"
Charizard soared high, his sharp Air Slash cutting through the air, heading directly for Rhydon and Nidoking.
Giovanni remained incredibly calm, "Horn Attack! Fury Attack!"
Rhydon and Nidoking, these two behemoths, both moved forward; one continuously shattered the Air Slash with his rotating drill horn, while the other continuously swung his fists!
Bang, bang!
Oula Oula Oula!
Although Rhydon and Nidoking managed to partially nullify the power with Horn Attack and Fury Attack, they were still somewhat staggered by the aftershocks.
However, Charizard had already spread his wings, raising a heatwave, and shot straight into the sky.
Following that, he swooped down, a scorching flame gathering in his mouth, the Flamethrower attack, flames like a dragon, rushing directly towards Nidoking and Rhydon.
Giovanni's eyes narrowed, and he quickly adjusted his strategy: "Rhydon, quickly use Rock Blast to counter! Nidoking, prepare Poison Sting for support!"
Rhydon reacted swiftly; he violently swung his massive tail, and hard rocks flew up from the ground, like cannonballs, meeting Charizard's Flamethrower.
The two forces collided in the air, erupting in dazzling light and deafening explosions.
At the same time, Nidoking also found an opportunity; he quickly moved to Charizard's side, his Poison Sting attack ready, and thin needles of poison sprayed from his mouth like fine rain, heading straight for Charizard.
However, Charizard flapped a wing, directly turning his body and dodging Nidoking's Poison Sting attack.
Giovanni frowned; Charizard's mobility was indeed very strong, so he had to solve this point. "We can't just keep doing this. Rhydon, start a Sandstorm!"
"Roar!" Rhydon roared and stomped his foot forcefully!
Instantly, yellow sand filled the air, forming a thick Sandstorm in the training ground, with sand grains as sharp and keen as blades!
The higher Charizard flew, the more damage he would take!
Not only that, but his speed and vision would also be affected, unlike Nidoking and Rhydon, who were completely in their element.
"Impressive." Matt couldn't help but praise Rhydon for the intensity of the Sandstorm.
Matt's eyes were serious, but a smile played on his lips. Facing the Sandstorm attack, he quickly issued an order to Charizard:
"Charizard, use the Slash move to cut through the Sandstorm, then counterattack with Dragon Breath!"
Upon receiving the command, Charizard flapped his wings, his body tracing a graceful arc in the air, sharp claw blades condensing in the air, slicing through the Sandstorm like sharp blades, forcefully carving a path through the thick dust.
Immediately after, he opened his gaping maw, and a scorching and powerful Dragon Breath gushed from his mouth, turning into a fiery torrent, rushing directly towards Rhydon and Nidoking's position.
Giovanni quickly commanded: "Rhydon, meet it with Take Down to block the Dragon Breath! Nidoking, Earth Power!"
Rhydon let out a low growl, his muscles tensed, like an out-of-control heavy tank, charging recklessly towards Charizard's Dragon Breath, using his own immense strength to directly confront that destructive flame.
Meanwhile, Nidoking stomped his feet on the ground, and a strong seismic wave spread from his feet, a scorching temperature forming on the ground—this was the precursor to Earth Power, causing the entire training ground to tremble.
Seeing this, Matt immediately directed Charizard: "Charizard, fly high, avoid the Earth Power, then use Inferno!"
Charizard flapped his wings and flew high, nimbly avoiding the Earth Power unleashed by Nidoking.
Then he spread his wings, and an unprecedented surge of scorching energy gathered around him, forming a sea of fire—Inferno.
The flames, like a tidal wave, swept towards Rhydon and Nidoking, carrying destructive power.
