The Protect barrier...
had shattered like glass.
It had broken apart completely the instant it was struck.
But at the very least...
it had still helped Suicune withstand part of the impact.
After reducing some of the force...
the terrifying damage from Vikemon's attack...
hadn't fallen on Suicune completely unrestrained.
Otherwise...
Suicune wouldn't merely have been knocked away and rendered unconscious like this.
It would probably have been smashed to pieces.
Still...
judging from its current condition...
although Suicune hadn't been reduced to fragments...
there was no escaping the fate of suffering fractures throughout its body.
After being sent flying...
Suicune crashed directly outside the battle arena...
right beneath the spectator stands.
The spectators nearby...
happened to have an extremely close view...
of the horrifying sight of its displaced and twisted bones.
Just looking at it...
made their teeth ache.
Then they raised their heads...
and looked toward the ten-meter-tall giant standing on the battlefield.
An intense feeling of fear involuntarily rose within them.
What the hell...
this guy was way too brutal!
That single hammer strike...
had nearly killed Suicune, a Third-tier Legendary!
And everyone knew...
that as a Water-type Legendary Pokémon...
Suicune's greatest strength wasn't its offensive power.
It was its exceptional stamina and defense.
In battle...
Suicune was the kind of dependable shield anyone could trust.
Yet today...
that very shield...
which everyone had always considered incredibly reliable...
had been shattered head-on in battle!
And its defeat had been so miserable!
The image before them...
was deeply branded into the minds of everyone present.
It was something they wouldn't forget for a very long time.
Meanwhile...
Belotti, standing opposite Shiko...
had also been completely shocked by Vikemon's brutal full-power strike.
That terrifying power...
was simply unbelievable.
After finally recovering from his shock...
Belotti gave Vikemon a long, deep look.
He didn't say a single word.
Instead...
he took out a Poké Ball.
By this point in the match...
his situation had become extremely ugly.
He had already sent out four Pokémon.
And every single one of them...
had been overwhelmingly defeated by the opponent.
They hadn't possessed even the slightest ability to fight back.
It had practically been a massacre.
Originally...
Belotti had believed...
that the Third-tier Legendaries he had captured...
would be more than enough to sweep every opponent in this tournament.
And the result?
In the end...
his own Pokémon had been completely crushed.
Belotti simply couldn't understand...
where this man had found so many strange and absurdly powerful creatures.
Forget it.
It didn't matter.
Even if he ultimately lost completely...
he still had a backup plan.
The moment he thought of that...
Belotti swept all of those negative emotions from his mind.
Immediately afterward...
his next Pokémon entered the battlefield.
He threw out another Poké Ball.
And unsurprisingly...
another new Pokémon appeared.
Just as everyone had expected...
this one was also a Legendary Pokémon!
Like Suicune...
it was another Third-tier Legendary...
and another member of the Legendary beasts!
Entei!
