After this Pokémon appeared, the temperature of the entire field rose sharply. It was as if a second sun had emerged in the air!
Two suns in the same sky!
Upon seeing this Pokémon, Cain could not help but narrow his eyes.
"I didn't expect to be able to see a scene like this again."
The scene he had seen back then together with Steven in the desert was still vivid in his memory now. The image of two suns in the same sky was something one could not see many times in an entire lifetime!
That was right. The Pokémon Alder had summoned was Volcarona!
One of his two starter Pokémon!
Back then, Alder had two Volcarona, but one of them had sacrificed itself in that battle. This was the last Volcarona he had left, and also his best partner.
The reason Alder's current hairstyle had that shape was precisely because he had made it by following the appearance of Volcarona when spreading its wings.
Volcarona was a large moth Pokémon. Its eyes were blue, and a pair of red antennae surrounded its cheeks.
Its body was sturdy, the upper part was surrounded by a ring of white fur, and it had four small legs. The center of its abdomen was black, while the outer part was light blue. On its back grew three pairs of orange-red wings that represented the sun; at the same time, black spots were distributed across its wings and on the outside of its abdomen, representing sunspots.
Cain looked at this Volcarona with a solemn expression. It had to be said: it was an existence that made him feel that the matter would be extremely troublesome.
Volcarona, of Bug and Fire type, could use the Fire type to perfectly counter Mega Aggron's Steel type, while the Bug type could also counter very well the Dark type of Tyranitar, the other Pokémon Cain had left.
Therefore, seen from the current situation, the fact that Alder had left Volcarona as his final Pokémon was actually to aim at Cain's Tyranitar, while Mega Aggron had simply ended up right in the line of fire.
Upon seeing the Volcarona summoned by Alder, the spectators from the Unova region immediately burst into cheers. They once again saw the hope that Alder could win.
Volcarona was by no means without opportunities!
Cain looked at Volcarona and obtained its data in the very first instant.

"I didn't expect Alder to still have a Pokémon with such great strength left," Cain thought silently.
This Volcarona's strength was much greater than that of the Pokémon Alder had summoned before!
Mega Aggron's situation was not too good. The Fire type's advantage over Steel-type Pokémon was too severe. Furthermore, if Volcarona remained in a flying state the entire time and launched Fire-type moves from afar, that would make Mega Aggron have a rather hard time.
Volcarona, skilled in special attacks and possessing extremely powerful Fire-type moves, was Mega Aggron's nemesis!
Volcarona flapped its wings, red as fire, and silver scales scattered down from them. As they passed through the high temperature of its body, those scales quickly ignited and transformed into flames.
In an instant, the entire stadium turned into a sea of fire!
Fiery Dance!
Volcarona's exclusive move in the entire Pokémon world!
An existence that was not a Legendary Pokémon, yet still possessed its own exclusive move!
From this, one could see just how much Arceus himself favored a Pokémon like Volcarona!
As the sea of fire became more and more intense, Mega Aggron's situation became worse and worse. Moreover, every time Volcarona used the move Fiery Dance, it had a fifty percent chance of increasing its own special attack.
It was a move of Volcarona that combined attack and strengthening into one!
Seeing this state, Cain made a decisive choice. He took out a Poké Ball, withdrew Aggron, and then threw Tyranitar's Poké Ball.
Mega Aggron had no ability to resist. Rather than watch him gradually lose the ability to fight, it was better to directly bring out Tyranitar, and this way he also would not give Volcarona more time to strengthen itself.
After Tyranitar appeared on the field, Cain did not hesitate at all.
"Mega Evolve, Tyranitar!"
This was the true key point that would decide victory or defeat!
Mega Tyranitar entered the stage!
"TYRRAANNN!!"
When Tyranitar appeared on the field, he immediately noticed the blazing flames around him. He did not show the slightest fear. The dancing sand and wind condensed around his body, and under the scorching heat of the flames, the color of the sand began to gradually turn deep red.
"Here it is!!! Champion Cain's famous domain, the Sandstorm Domain: Red Sand Hell!!!" The announcer, who had already hidden himself in the stands, could not help raising his voice again when he saw this scene.
The red sandstorm enveloped both Mega Tyranitar and Volcarona.
However, this was a fair and honorable duel, so Cain did not make Mega Tyranitar envelop Alder as well, nor did he directly launch an attack against Alder.
Otherwise, with the attack of Mega Tyranitar's Red Sand Hell, Alder, who was not prepared to defend himself, really might have been eliminated in an instant.
"Volcarona, Bug Buzz!" Alder said with a solemn expression.
"KKKIIIIIKK!"
A high-frequency sound spread from Volcarona's body. The sound-wave attack expanded toward the surroundings, and even the omnipresent red sand could not block the sonic attack.
"TYRRAAN!!"
To the others, that sound was not heard too clearly, but when it fell into Mega Tyranitar's ears, it was deafening, making him unable to avoid letting out a roar.
Cain's expression changed. As expected, the previous Fiery Dance move had strengthened Volcarona's special attack.
