Meanwhile, Belotti remained silent.
He slowly raised his hand and recalled Zapdos. Immediately afterward, he took out another Poké Ball.
The atmosphere in the venue grew tense once again.
Everyone held their breath.
Who would appear this time?
Moltres?
It probably was.
Its typing gave it a considerable advantage against Steelix.
Wait.
Could it be another new Pokémon?
Impossible!
All three Legendary Birds had already appeared. What other Legendary Pokémon could he possibly have?
Countless thoughts raced through the spectators' minds as they stared fixedly at the Poké Ball in Belotti's hand.
Some believed that Moltres was inside the ball.
Others, however, considered Belotti's previous actions and concluded that the Pokémon he was about to send out was almost certainly another new one.
As for whether it would be a Legendary Pokémon, no one could say.
Their question was answered a moment later.
A dark-brown, quadrupedal Pokémon appeared on the battlefield. Its tail resembled a plume of white smoke.
The moment they saw it, the spectators were stunned yet again.
Immediately afterward, countless sharp gasps echoed throughout the venue.
There was only one reason for their reaction.
The Pokémon Belotti had sent out was yet another Legendary Pokémon!
It was Entei, one of the three Legendary Beasts!
Good heavens!
The entire venue erupted.
No one had expected Belotti to possess other Legendary Pokémon in addition to the three Legendary Birds!
Shiko narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this.
His curiosity toward Belotti rose to an entirely new level.
Unless something unexpected happened, Belotti's remaining two Pokémon were probably the other two Legendary Beasts—Raikou and Suicune.
How interesting.
He had assembled all three Legendary Birds and all three Legendary Beasts. Moreover, he had forced every one of them into submission.
Belotti's true strength was unquestionably at the level of a First-tier Legendary.
Shiko's blood quietly began to boil.
It seemed that he had finally found a somewhat interesting opponent.
Although Shiko knew that there was no longer anyone in this universe who could truly rival him, this mysterious and peculiar man might at least allow him to get a little exercise.
As Belotti's opponent, Denjiro had already become completely numb.
Even Entei's appearance failed to provoke any strong emotional reaction from him.
His mind had simply gone blank.
All he wanted now was for this torturous match to end as quickly as possible.
Therefore, during the next battle, he did not even bother issuing commands.
He knew that his Elite Four-level strength was utterly insignificant before these Legendary Pokémon.
Sure enough, Steelix immediately slithered forward at high speed.
Twisting its enormous body, it swung its tail viciously at Entei with Iron Tail.
Entei easily avoided the attack with a single leap.
Before it had even landed, it retaliated with Flame Wheel.
Blazing flames enveloped Entei's body as it spun at high speed and crashed directly into Steelix.
Bang!
A muffled impact rang across the battlefield.
Using the force of the rebound, Entei landed steadily on the ground.
The flames covering its body gradually faded.
It then stared disdainfully at the Steelix before it.
Flame Wheel had struck Steelix directly, inflicting enormous damage.
A single attack had knocked Steelix out.
That was not all.
The injury at the point of impact was horrifying to behold.
A portion of Steelix's alloy-like surface had actually melted.
This was no ordinary burn.
It was an extremely severe burn.
Only then did Denjiro's expression finally change.
He hurriedly recalled Steelix and handed its Poké Ball to a staff member, ordering them to take it to the Pokémon Center for immediate treatment.
Any further delay could result in permanent, irreversible damage.
Afterward, Denjiro sent out his next Pokémon.
He looked at the final two Poké Balls he had left and slowly exhaled.
Good.
This torturous match would soon be over.
