"Kirlia, locate the Growlithe. Lock onto their position and guide me there."
The moment Aiden Flint gave the command, the twin Kirlia immediately spread their psychic senses outward, scanning the area at full range.
Not long after, they stopped using telekinesis and switched to telepathy, sending their findings directly into Aiden's mind.
"The target is northwest. We've detected five Growlithe and one Arcanine. They appear to be surrounded by a herd of Camerupt."
"There are about thirty Camerupt and many Numel as well. It seems the Arcanine accidentally led its group into Camerupt territory."
Hearing the Kirlia sisters' report, Aiden frowned.
But a solution quickly formed in his mind.
Since Arcanine and the Growlithe clan were in danger, this was the perfect moment for him—the heroic Trainer—to descend from the heavens.
If he saved them now, capturing them afterward would be effortless.
Without hesitation, Aiden had Kirlia teleport him over.
In a flash, his vision blurred, and he arrived at the edge of the battlefield between the two clans.
It was clearly a territorial dispute.
Thankfully, Kirlia had not teleported him directly into the center. Instead, they hid behind a massive rock, allowing him to observe safely.
In terms of numbers and raw strength, the Camerupt clan was far superior.
There were thirty-two Camerupt above Level 30 and nearly seventy Numel.
The Camerupt leader was Level 42 with Purple-tier potential.
On the other side, only the Arcanine was truly powerful—Level 46, also Purple-tier.
The remaining five were Growlithe, the strongest barely reaching Level 20.
They were clearly Arcanine's children.

Seeing their status panels, Aiden immediately understood their situation.
Arcanine had been leading her five pups in search of a safe territory.
But while she was strong, her children were still too weak to withstand pressure from established clans.
So they had no choice but to keep wandering.
Today was no different.
They had finally found a place suitable for Fire-type Pokémon—only to accidentally step into Camerupt territory and trigger a violent response.
"Roar!"
As Camerupt surrounded them, Arcanine bared her fangs, flames already gathering in her mouth.
The Camerupt leader looked down on her with disdain.
Daring to trespass on their territory was practically a death sentence.
In the next moment, at the Camerupt leader's signal, dozens of Camerupt began to unleash their attacks.
At that instant, Aiden acted.
Red light flashed everywhere as he released his Pokémon.
Aerodactyl, Sceptile, Milotic, Pidgeot, Lairon, Metang, Glaceon, Umbreon, and Bagon all appeared at once.
"Milotic—Rain Dance!
Aerodactyl—Stone Edge!
Pidgeot—Brave Bird!
Sceptile—close in and take them out at will!
Lairon—Rock Slide!
Metang—Psychic!
Infernape—Mach Punch!
Glaceon—Ice Beam!
Umbreon—Dark Pulse!
Bagon, coordinate with Kirlia and wipe out the Numel!"
With Aiden's orders, his entire main force moved simultaneously.
If it came to numbers, Aiden wasn't afraid.
At worst, he could release hundreds of Pokémon from the System Space.
But against this many Camerupt and Numel, his current lineup was more than enough.
Not to mention—
Rayquaza was still watching from above.
As Camerupt roared and counterattacked, the battlefield erupted.
But Milotic's Rain Dance turned the area into a downpour, instantly crippling Fire-type Pokémon.
Numel were the first to fall, drenched by rain and blasted by Glaceon's Water Pulse.
Hyper Beam from Lairon and Metang sent multiple Camerupt flying.
Sceptile cut through the battlefield like a green phantom, dropping Camerupt after Camerupt.
Aerodactyl's Stone Edge rained down, while Pidgeot, Milotic, Infernape, Gardevoir, and Umbreon covered every opening.
In just five minutes, more than half of the Camerupt clan was down.
Arcanine and the Growlithe stared in disbelief.
Glaceon had even erected an ice barrier over the Growlithe to shield them from the rain, making it clear Aiden was here to help.
Realizing they were completely outmatched, the Camerupt clan finally fled.
Only then did Aiden withdraw his Pokémon.
Now—
He turned his attention to the greatest reward of this battle.
The Growlithe clan.
