After witnessing HerculesKabuterimon's battle, Belotti believed he had figured out its typing.
The enormous golden beetle appeared to be both Bug and Electric type.
Moltres's Fire typing would be highly effective against it.
Although Moltres's Flying typing was also vulnerable to its opponent's Electric-type attacks, that did not matter.
Belotti's original plan was to gradually wear down the enormous golden beetle.
After all, he still had four Pokémon at the level of Third-tier Legendaries remaining.
Even though the golden beetle possessed the combat strength of a Second-tier Legendary, as long as it could not knock out each of his Pokémon with a single attack, he could gradually exhaust its stamina.
Eventually, it would be completely worn down.
More importantly, Belotti still had Entei in reserve.
Entei was a pure Fire-type Pokémon.
Its typing would not be countered by the golden beetle at all.
Even if Moltres lost this battle, Belotti could send Entei out next.
Entei should be capable of defeating it.
The reason he had not sent Entei out for this round was that although Entei was a pure Fire type, it specialized in close-range Fire-type attacks.
It would probably gain no advantage by engaging the enormous golden beetle in close combat.
After all, the opponent possessed a powerful physique and a golden carapace.
One glance was enough to tell that it was built for maximum strength and defense.
Fighting it at close range would be extremely troublesome.
Moreover, it could fly and possessed extraordinary speed.
Entei could not fly.
That presented a serious problem.
Moltres was different.
It specialized in long-range attacks and also possessed considerable flight speed.
At present, it was probably the best possible choice for dealing with this opponent.
As long as Moltres could inflict damage and deplete some of its stamina, Belotti would consider its task complete.
In his eyes, Shiko could not possibly possess as many Legendary Pokémon-level creatures as he did.
However, while these thoughts were passing through his mind, a single movement from Shiko caused Belotti to tense immediately.
Deep disbelief appeared in his eyes.
At that moment, Shiko, who stood across from him, did exactly what Belotti himself had done during several previous matches.
After the round ended, Shiko calmly took out his Poké Ball.
Then, he recalled HerculesKabuterimon.
The entire arena instantly fell silent.
Everyone stared fixedly at Shiko with widened eyes.
They carefully watched his every movement, afraid they might miss even the smallest detail.
His actions meant that he intended to switch creatures.
Judging by his previous performance, the creature he sent out next would definitely be no weaker than the enormous golden beetle!
The next moment, Shiko threw the replacement Poké Ball.
A moment later, another creature appeared before everyone.
It was a completely new existence that none of them had ever seen before.
It resembled a humanoid bird with dark-red plumage.
A pair of enormous wings spread from its back.
Its talons and the tips of its wings were bright yellow.
Its entire appearance resembled an ancient guardian deity carved upon a totem pole.
The moment it appeared, suppressed gasps sounded throughout the arena.
Immediately afterward, the spectators erupted into heated discussion.
Without question, judging from the imposing presence accompanying its arrival, this creature was also extraordinarily powerful.
It was definitely no weaker than Moltres.
Belotti's expression, however, began to darken.
He clearly did not recognize the Garudamon standing across from him.
However, judging by its appearance and the intense, scorching aura of flames radiating from its body, this creature also appeared to possess both Fire and Flying typing.
In other words, its typing was completely identical to Moltres's.
Was Shiko planning to challenge Moltres with a creature of the same typing?
How confident did someone have to be to make such a decision?
"Hmph!"
What an arrogant fool!
Belotti snorted coldly, his gaze turning icy.
This was already the third time Shiko had brought out one of these strange, entirely new creatures.
Belotti had already guessed Shiko's identity.
As expected, this human was also an evil individual.
Belotti would make sure to teach him a harsh lesson during this match.
The next moment, Moltres took the initiative and launched an attack at Garudamon.
