"Oh, my!" No matter how many times he had seen Super Giant Hell Extinguishing Flame, Chairman Damaranche of the Union was still deeply impressed. He managed the Sacred Fire, within which there was a flame that could transform into a Moltres, the Fire of Life, but that Legendary flame, upon encountering this Hellfire Dragon, would probably be devoured in an instant!
Danti's Super Ignition Dragon, at this moment, possessed true Legendary Combat Power. At that time, Da Wu's Metagross Mega could withstand any move from a Charizard, but this move alone was almost instantly overwhelming, indicating the formidable strength of this Great Move.
Now, he was also puzzled as to why Fang Yuan was always trying out new tricks, switching his Pokemon! You've been given the prize, can't you just play it safe? What if you lose due to carelessness?!!
However, Chairman Damaranche was simply overthinking things.
Facing this strike that entered the Legendary Realm, no, an ongoing assault move, Monferno didn't even consider it a real threat.
Although it could feel the powerful energy within the Super G-Max Inferno, it all depended on who it was compared to.
Compared to an ordinary Pokemon, it was naturally terrifying.
But if compared to a Groudon, with the powers of magma flowing through its body, or a Black and White Dragon, with the power of Yin and Yang intersecting, it was hardly worth mentioning.
In its initial entry to the Eight Gates, it could violently tear through Intersecting Flames and Blue Flame, let alone a Gigantamax move now.
Standing on the field, watching the giant Flare Dragon rush towards him, Monferno reflected the image of the Dragon in its eyes.
There was no burst of momentum, for the Eighth Gate was not about external energy but about all energy exploding within the body, using compressed Thunder Flame Power to enhance Physical Strength!!
The Flame of Will could constantly dig deeper into one's Life Energy potential.
Awakening Electricity could also stimulate the body's hidden potential.
And its Eight Gates Formation treated its body like a turbocharged engine, propelling itself with the compressed Flame of Will and Awakening Electricity, burning both the physical Life Energy and Wave Guide to attain strength beyond limits.
This time, there was no need for Fang Yuan's Power of the Heart to assist, and temporarily, there was no need to fear injury. Since the Holy Ash Power was still available, and with the Fire of Life protecting his Life Energy reserves, it could afford to display its strength without restraint.
Open Gate, Rest Gate, Life Gate, Injury Gate, Stop Gate, Scene Gate, Shock Gate, Death Gate—The compressed Intersected Force enhanced the body; amidst the radiance, Monferno underwent a transcendent metamorphosis in physical strength!! An incredibly terrifying power exploded within its body, and at the same time, outside, the Super Giant Hell Extinguishing Flame still dominated the skies, focusing everyone's attention as it surged forth!
"Take this—"
At this moment, as countless people held their breaths, watching the Gigantamax move approach, Fang Yuan merely issued a simple command, and Monferno just as simply responded, stretching out a palm forward and grasping into thin air!
At that instant, the air around Monferno's palm violently contracted, converging into a single point, as if there was an invisible Dark Hole madly devouring the surrounding air currents.
At that instant, the entire venue was eerily quiet, eyes wide open as they witnessed Monferno extend its palm and then, pinched the Hellfire Dragon move, which was several times larger than its own body, within its hand.
Time seemed to stand still, as Monferno looked into the eyes of the struggling move, whose fire was being continuously suppressed by the air pressure, seemingly conscious, wondering internally if that was all the power it had.
Isn't it supposed to be a Great Move? To be grasped like this in its hand??
No wonder the audience had fallen into a stunned silence; Danti's Super Titan Charizard's move, the one that could previously cause fatal threats to its opponents, was now held in front of a seemingly inconsequential Monferno, continuously shrinking and trembling—the shock of the sight was profound.
Even Danti, who was just about to issue his next command, stood frozen, disbelieving his own eyes.
"How, how is this possible!!!" His pupils contracted, his heart was immensely shocked, feeling the struggle of the Hellfire, and the shock was also shared by the Super Titan Charizard.
Chairman Damaranche, President Loz, Master, Qibana, many Museum Owners from Galar, Champions like Da Wu, Karune, and Trainers from all over the world, all of them showed shock as they looked at the Monferno that seemed so at ease.
Questioning life, that was their current state.
It wasn't surprising that they were shocked; the Monferno, currently in the Overfrequency Mode of the Eight Gates Defense Formation, had physical strength that did not pale in comparison to when it fought the Black and White Dragon, a power enough to suppress the High Legendary Level, almost akin to Groudon and Kyogre's power.
One could imagine that if it were Groudon facing this move, it would be dispersed with a mere slap of the hand!
And with the strong and shocking power of Primal Groudon condensed inside Monferno's body, the resulting display of power was even more impactful!
Boom!!!!!
Having assessed the power of the Super Titan Charizard, Monferno simply squeezed, and with a "crack," under the wrap of True Qi and Wave Guide, the space in its palm seemed to fracture, while the Hellfire Extinguishing Flame it grasped was unsurprisingly directly crushed, rapidly contracting with a "boom," turning into scattered flames intermingled with Thunder and Fire, vanishing completely amongst the stirred dust storm within the arena.
