A Pokémon using two moves at the same time is possible—as long as it undergoes proper training.

  For example, a Fighting-type Pokémon could use Fire Punbsp;with its left hand and Thunder Punbsp;with its right. A Venusaur could use Vine Whip while simultaneously triggerihquake.

  Some Pokémon are even born with this ability. For instance, a Hydreigon, with its three heads, execute different moves simultaneously. Simirly, a Dodrio do the same.

  However, using two moves at ones with a dition—the Pokémon must still maintain trol over the first move while activating the sed one.

  If a Pokémon tries to use a seove but loses trol of the first, not only will the seove fail, but the failure of the first could also backfire and cause self-inflicted damage.

  Yet, Mega Tyranitar had successfully pulled off Taunt while still exeg Giga Impact, a high-power move.

  Mega Tyranitar: "Look me in the eye, you b***d."

  At that moment, Mega Metagross, which was about to use Protect, froze for a sed.

  'Who the hell do you think you are talking to?!'

  Taunt: For three turns, the target enters a tauate and bees uo use status moves.

  And Protebsp;happens to be a status move.

  As a result, Mega Metagross' Protebsp;failed, leaving it pletely vulnerable.

  Theyranitar's Giga Impabsp;crashed down upon it, like the sky itself colpsing.

  The only thing Mega Metagross could do was cross its arms in front of itself in defense.

  BOOM!!

  The force of the impact shook the etlefield, shattering the ground further into pieot a single spot remained intact.

  The explosio debris flying everywhere, f a chaotic battlefield of rubble.

  At the ter of the impact, a massive energy surge erupted, and with a loud whoosh, a bck mushroom cloud rose into the air.

  Right after, a shockwave swept across the battlefield like a raging tide, pletely ravaging what little was left of the terrain. tless stones were pulverized into powder.

  The shockwave from the explosion sted for a full three to four minutes before finally settling down.

  "Ty!"

  Mega Tyranitar stood, staring into the crater where Mega Metagross remaiill, staring back at it.

  'You've gotta be kidding me'

  'Why aren't you dow?!'

  Mega Metagross: Meteor Mash

  Just as everyohought Mega Metagross had finally fallen, they suddenly saw Mega Tyranitar get unched into the air.

  Then, Mega Metagross slowly rose from the crater.

  It was a repeat of the se from before.

  Julian g Fred.

  As expected from a national level Gym Leader.

  Fred had indeed given him a lesson just now, but...

  His Metagross wasn't the kind of Pokémon that could be beaten so easily.

  "Metagross, Hammer Arm," Julian said coldly.

  Mega Metagross moved at incredible speed, closing the distan the blink of an eye.

  All four of its powerful arms glowed with a brilliant silver light as it hammered down oyranitar below.

  The first strike seyranitar plummeting straight from midair into the ground.

  The sed strike smmed into its abdomen.

  The battlefield, already reduced to rubble, was turned into dust, and the ground caved in by over teers.

  The third strike once again targeted the abdomen, shattering the armor pting and leaving it riddled with cracks of various sizes. The grouh it groaned, as if it could barely withstand the force.

  As the air exploded with ford Mega Tyranitar's eyes filled with despair, the final Hammer Arm came crashing down.

  BOOM!!!

  The ground was pletely obliterated—the etlefield lit in two. A massive shockwave erupted from deep underground, shooting into the sky.

  Crack! Crack! Crack!

  Uhe horrified gazes of the onlookers, the battlefield, which was the size of two soccer fields, began to colpse. Soon, the steel framework underh was exposed.

  Many of those steel beams were bent or ht broken.

  The battlefield was pletely destroyed—though, to be fair, Mega Metagross wasn't the only one responsible for the damage.

  Julian: 'Am I going to have to pay for this?'

  Tyranitar is 4× weaker to Fighting-type moves.

  Under Mega Metagross' Tough bsp;ability, it took four secutive Hammer Arms, all targeting the same spot.

  Fet about Mega Tyranitar—even Godzil himself would've been forced to kneel after that.

  Having lost sciousness, Mega Tyranitar reverted back to its normal form. Its abdomen armor was pletely shattered, revealing torn flesh and nonstop bleeding.

  'Might've hit a little too hard'

  Julian thought to himself, but there was no helping it. Mega Tyranitar was a tough oppo—Mega Metagross couldn't afford to hold back.

  If it had, the one on the ground might have been itself.

  Fred shook his head, recalling Tyranitar into its Poké Ball before handing it over to a staff member for medical treatment.

  A Gym, especially a national-level one, was always equipped with medical facilities and Pokémon doctors.

  As long as a Pokémon wasn't ht dead, there was no risk of it dying here.

  'Just make sure you don't lose to my grandsohat's all I ask'

  Standing otlefield, Fred recalled what John had told him over the phone earlier.

  Back thehought it was just a joke.

  But now?

  He was the joke.

  This so-called Number One of the Younger Geion…

  His sights were now set on taking down the eion instead.

  And it seemed like he was the first veteran trainer Julian had defeated.

  Thinking about that, Fred's expression darkened.

  This was embarrassing.

  So many people were watg—his son, grandson, and the entire audience.

  'Damn it!'

  Had he known things would turn out this way, he wouldn't have let them e.

  His reputation was in shambles now.

  "Tyranitar is uo battle, Metagross wins. In this Gym Challehe challenger, Julian, is victorious!"

  As the referee, Frank annouhe result.

  But as he did, his emotions were plicated.

  His own student had just defeated his father.

  Was he supposed to be happy or sad?

  "Meta~"

  Metagross hovered over to Julian.

  "You've worked hard."

  Julian patted the side of its head, his gaze falling on a thin cra its body—about the length of an index finger and a timeter wide.

  Metagross' entire body was made of metal—it had no blood and wasn't a creature of flesh and bone.

  That gave it immense durability, but at the same time, healing from injuries took much longer.

  Well, that was true for most Metagross.

  But Julian's Metagross was different.

  "Here"

  He took out a Full Restore and had Metagross e it.

  With this, it would be fine by tomorrow.

  Even with the powerful medial effects of Full Restore, a tiny crack like this still needed a full day to heal.

  This made it clear—if Metagross didn't have access to Full Restore, it would take at least half a month to recover, even with proper treatment.
