The lightning engulfed Zapdos, but its momentum did not diminish.
It struck the wall of the arena behind Zapdos and blasted out a massive hole, piercing straight through it.
The sight left the spectators stunned.
Everyone knew that the materials used to construct the arena were extraordinarily durable.
The attacks of ordinary Pokémon could not even leave a scratch on its surface.
But now, faced with Shiko's unknown Pokémon, the wall had been pierced by a single attack.
It was terrifying!
That level of strength was outrageous!
The lightning gradually faded.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that Zapdos was in a rather miserable state.
Several blackened scorch marks had appeared across its yellow wings.
It seemed that the tremendous power of the lightning had burned them black.
Moreover, that was not all.
Flickering arcs of electricity were still coiling around its body.
Immediately afterward, Zapdos's movements suddenly seized.
This left everyone even more shocked.
How was that possible?!
Zapdos had clearly fallen into a state of paralysis!
Electric-type Pokémon were not supposed to be paralyzed!
Yet after taking that attack, Zapdos had actually been paralyzed!
It was absurd!
Electric-type Pokémon were supposed to be immune to paralysis!
However, after being struck by its opponent's move, Zapdos had fallen into a state of paralysis!
This was Zapdos!
A Third-tier Legendary!
Yet something like this had actually happened!
It was simply outrageous!
Belotti's gaze turned cold.
He stared at his Zapdos with disbelief written all over his face.
He had never imagined that Zapdos would suffer this much damage from a single attack.
The enormous and unfamiliar beetle Pokémon before him was far stronger than he had expected.
Judging from its aura, the massive red beetle was also at the level of a Third-tier Legendary.
However, judging from the strength of its Electric-type moves, it was clearly slightly stronger than Zapdos!
Belotti frowned deeply.
Possessing a Third-tier Legendary should have made victory in this tournament virtually guaranteed.
He had never expected to encounter something like this.
Had he known this would happen, he might as well have captured a Second-tier Legendary to fight for him from the very beginning.
Although Zapdos had been struck by Horn Buster, it could still continue fighting.
The next moment, Zapdos released a sharp cry.
It had already fallen into a state of extreme fury.
An unknown creature of unclear origin had surpassed it in the power of Electric-type energy.
That fact immediately enraged Zapdos.
The next moment, it went all-out and pushed its speed to the limit.
Like a streak of yellow lightning, it shot toward MegaKabuterimon.
The two figures immediately clashed.
In truth, their overall strength was nearly identical.
Although MegaKabuterimon had been personally created by Shiko and possessed extremely abundant and powerful Electric-type energy, Zapdos had completely mastered one hundred percent of the Electric-type law.
There was not much difference between the intensity of their electrical energies.
The main reason Zapdos had been left in such a miserable state after a single attack was that its Special Defense was not particularly high.
Zapdos's advantage lay in its extraordinary speed.
When it flew at full power, it was as swift as a bolt of lightning.
MegaKabuterimon was slightly slower than Zapdos.
However, its physical strength was astonishingly powerful.
Its enormous horn and four thick arms clearly demonstrated the source of its strength.
The two creatures repeatedly collided.
Under the tremendous force of their attacks, almost the entire battle arena was destroyed.
Zapdos adopted hit-and-run tactics, immediately retreating after every attack.
This fighting style was beginning to irritate MegaKabuterimon.
Fortunately, MegaKabuterimon was no weakling.
It seized two or three opportunities and unleashed Rhino Charge with tremendous force.
White light flared around its horn.
It thrust upward with all its strength and sent Zapdos flying more than a hundred meters away.
