-------
Blaziken swiftly dashed past Tyranitar and Aggron.
Now everything depended on his two main partners giving it their all; he only needed to provide support from the flanks.
Tyranitar and Aggron looked at each other.
Almost simultaneously, they each raised a leg and stomped hard on the ground.
Crack, crack, crack...!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Seismic waves spread through the terrain. The grassland cracked in several areas, with fractures of varying sizes.
A double use of the move Earthquake rippled out toward the frenzied charging Tauros.
Those at the front lowered their heads without hesitation, not caring if there were invisible rocks ahead. They were now fully engulfed in the fury of the charge.
And the result...?
The invisible rocks were shattered by the force of the charge, yes... but the effects of Earthquake weren't so easy to ignore.
The ground fissures trapped unsuspecting hooves, causing several Tauros to fall. And when one fell... those behind inevitably stumbled.
Luckily, some of the beasts still retained a bit of sense and barely managed to dodge their fallen comrades, skirting around them.
"Tyraaannn!"
"Grraaahhh!"
Tyranitar and Aggron roared in unison.
And then, they too charged at the Tauros herd.
Rock fragments began to appear around Tyranitar's body, while Aggron lowered his head, revealing several faint, glowing horns that protruded like lances from his helmet.
When it came to charging—he had never feared anyone!
The two forces collided.
Bam!
Crash!
Boom!
Bang!
As if playing bowling, Aggron, using the move Headbutt, became more Tauros than the Tauros themselves. Every one in his path was sent flying.
Tyranitar, with the rock fragments swirling around him, plunged into the herd like a hot knife through butter. With a single move, he grabbed a Tauros by a horn and stopped it dead in its tracks.
The strength needed for something like that was simply monstrous.
And just when it seemed Blaziken had already moved away, he reappeared.
From the edges, he easily caught any lone enemy and gave them a thorough beating.
There were more than enough enemies anyway. He just had to put into practice everything he had learned from Kommo-o and Vigoroth over the past month.
It had been a long time since he'd found such a sturdy punching bag!
Meanwhile, seated in his sand chair, Cain watched them with a blank stare.
Was it really a good idea to let them fight on their own just like that?
The thunderous battle had managed to attract the attention of all the nearby wild Pokémon.
However, what Tyranitar, Aggron, and Blaziken were showing in combat was impressive.
It was clear that each had improved greatly in both strength and technique.
That said... their coordination left much to be desired without Cain's direction.
Each fought on their own.
Fortunately, the Tauros weren't good at group combat either. They saw an enemy nearby and simply charged without thinking.
The weaker ones quickly fell. Only the Quasi-Elite level ones remained standing.
But even those... wouldn't last long.
Especially seeing Tyranitar, in the center of the chaos, completely unleashed.
He had a Tauros grabbed by each horn. And he lifted them off the ground!
Yes, he hoisted two full-grown Tauros, one in each hand. The scene was so shocking that the wild Pokémon who had approached out of curiosity turned around and fled without looking back.
"Mommy, there's a monster!"
And the worst part... was that Tyranitar didn't even seem to realize he had Tauros in his hands. He used them as weapons, spinning them like simple clubs.
And sometimes, he combined them with a special move or two.
Aggron wasn't falling behind either.
He had become a true rampaging bull. Taking advantage of his nearly impenetrable defense, he would grab a Tauros and smash it against the ground without caring about taking hits from others.
And the whole time, he roared fiercely.
As if to say: "Do you give up or not!? Huh!? DO YOU GIVE UP!?"
The Tauros underneath him, who had been unable to speak for a while, was on the verge of tears.
The only one keeping any shred of sanity was Blaziken, on the outskirts of the battle.
At least, compared to the other two.
Of course... if we didn't count the fact that every time he defeated a Tauros, he sent it flying through the air with a kick, things would seem more "normal."
"..."
Cain placed a hand on his forehead, resigned.
"Flott~!"
Florges cautiously approached him.
She seemed to want to say: "These guys... were trained by you, right?... Aren't you going to stop them?"
But seriously, the level of combat they were showing now was impressive.
If it weren't for the occasional Tauros flying in a random direction...
"Cough, cough... it's fine," said Cain with a forced smile. "They just haven't fought in a while. Let them blow off steam today. Once they defeat this herd, they'll surely calm down..."
He decided not to intervene. Today, they could fight as much as they wanted.
But of course, it's just when you let your guard down that everything spirals out of control.
No one knew who had the brilliant idea.
Maybe they completely lost their minds.
Tyranitar and Aggron, each with a Tauros in hand, threw them like projectiles toward a herd of Rhydon peacefully grazing in the distance.
With the weight of a Tauros, no matter how strong they were, the distance was too great...
But that's when their coordination miraculously worked.
Blaziken abandoned the enemy in front of him, jumped, and delivered a brutal kick to one of the airborne Tauros.
And just like that, the missing force was added.
That Tauros probably became the first long-distance flying Tauros in the history of the Pokémon world.
BOOM!
It landed squarely in the middle of the Rhydon group.
Several Rhydon turned toward Tyranitar and company.
And what they saw was the three Pokémon... beckoning them with their hands. All at once.
The ultimate attack: "Let's see if you've got the guts to come over here, huh?!"
Who could endure such provocation?
Not the Rhydon, that's for sure.
Led by their leader, they charged at the trio without hesitation.
And that wasn't all. Other Pokémon in the area, who had been holding back for a while, joined the assault.
"Flott~!"
Florges watched everything in silence.
Then, looking at Cain, still gaping in his chair, she released a faintly glowing flower of concern.
"Are we still in time to stop this?"
Cain couldn't believe it.
The first time he let them fight on their own... and they ended up provoking the entire grassland?
His head hurt.
But with a sigh, he pulled out two more Poké Balls.
"Well, if we have to fight, we all fight."
Swampert and Politoed appeared instantly.
Swampert, seeing the scene, didn't think twice and ran off to join the party.
Politoed froze for a few seconds, then, letting out a bitter and resigned smile, also jumped into battle.
"Florges..." murmured Cain, still with his hand on his forehead. "Just generate a Grassy Terrain... and let them fight on their own."
Today... I'm not doing anything else.
