Chapter 191 191: Crushing Pressure
"Come out—Tyranitar!!!"
If there was any Pokémon that could match sheer presence and intimidation—
It was Tyranitar.
A storm of yellow sand swept across the battlefield.
From within it, the terrifying, desert-born beast revealed itself—its fierce expression and overwhelming aura instantly dominating the arena.
---
"Tyranitar?"
Nurse Joy frowned coldly.
"Didn't you say you were turning Viridian Gym into a Flying-type Gym?"
---
Sam smirked.
"Oh, I am. But what does that have to do with using Tyranitar in an evaluation?"
"I don't recall any rule that says I can't use other types."
---
"Hmph. Even if you try to 'cheat,' it won't change the outcome."
"My Latios is invincible."
---
"Latios—use Hydro Pump!"
---
Unlike her arrogant Trainer, Latios was far more serious.
It could clearly sense the terrifying power within Tyranitar.
The moment it received the command—
It went all out.
---
Despite not being a Water-type Pokémon, Latios still formed a powerful stream of compressed water energy.
The Hydro Pump shot forward like a cannon—
Fast and devastating.
---
Sam narrowed his eyes slightly.
Not bad…
He had expected Latios to be sloppy because of its Trainer—
But clearly, he had underestimated it.
---
"Tyranitar—use Air Slash."
---
Sam never held back in battle.
Even if the opponent seemed weaker—
He would still go all out.
---
With a swing of its arms—
Two sharp wind blades formed instantly.
---
Tyranitar grinned.
Then—
Released them.
---
No matter how fast water travels—
It can't outrun the wind.
---
Before Hydro Pump could even reach halfway—
The wind blades had already overtaken it.
---
Slash!
---
The Hydro Pump was sliced apart mid-air—
Breaking into scattered droplets that fell harmlessly to the ground.
---
Latios's expression darkened.
---
"Hey! Latios, stop playing around!" Joy snapped.
"Finish it already!"
---
Latios frowned.
If it weren't in the middle of battle—
It might have exploded on the spot.
---
It wasn't holding back.
It was being suppressed.
---
And yet—
Its Trainer couldn't even see that.
Instead, she kept shouting from the sidelines—
Disrupting its focus.
---
Sam watched the interaction closely.
Then laughed.
---
"Hah… I get it now."
"There's no way someone like you caught Latios."
"This Latios belongs to your elders, doesn't it?"
---
Joy's face stiffened.
"That's none of your business! Latios is mine now!"
---
That reaction—
Confirmed everything.
---
Sam's smile widened.
A battle wasn't just fought on the field—
It was fought off the field too.
---
On the battlefield—
Tyranitar was suppressing Latios.
Off the battlefield—
Sam was breaking Joy apart mentally.
---
"I just feel bad for it," Sam said casually.
"Taking orders from someone like you… must be miserable."
---
"Shut up!!!"
Joy completely lost control.
"Defeat it! Destroy it! NOW!!!"
---
Sam let out a quiet chuckle.
Too easy.
---
"Your level isn't even close," he muttered.
---
"Tyranitar—Sandstorm Vortex."
---
Even while talking—
Sam had never taken his eyes off the battle.
And now—
The moment had come.
---
The sandstorm intensified.
Under Tyranitar's control, countless grains of sand gathered—
Forming a massive, spiraling vortex.
---
Latios didn't even have time to react.
It was instantly swallowed.
---
The storm raged.
Sand slammed into its body from all directions—
Endlessly.
---
One grain of sand meant nothing.
But thousands—
Relentless and continuous—
Were enough to wear it down.
---
Inside the storm—
Latios's mood hit rock bottom.
---
Behind it—
Joy was screaming hysterically.
Around it—
The suffocating sandstorm closed in.
---
It snapped.
---
ROAR!!!
---
Dragon energy surged.
Latios opened its mouth—
And unleashed Dragon Pulse at full power.
---
But—
The more emotional you are in battle—
The more you need calm.
---
When both Trainer and Pokémon lose control—
Victory becomes impossible.
---
Tyranitar calmly raised one arm.
A sand shield formed instantly—
Blocking the Dragon Pulse with ease.
---
"That's it?" Sam said with a cold smile.
"If that's all you've got…"
"Then I won't hold back anymore."
---
"Now—"
"My turn."
---
Joy froze.
---
Before—
Latios had always been invincible.
No opponent had ever withstood it.
---
But now—
Not only was it being blocked—
It was being overpowered.
---
Looking at Sam…
Looking at Tyranitar…
---
An uneasy feeling crept into her heart.
---
Something's wrong…
---
And for the first time—
She realized—
She might be about to lose.
