He knows Pokémon better than me.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the double-edged hammer struck the lightning cloud with unstoppable force!
The terrifying force slammed it firmly against the roof of the carriage in an instant, the ear-piercing sound of steel twisting and exploding with force, creating a shockwave.

The effect is outstanding!

Keep in mind that this is the double-edged hammer under the Sacrifice ability, making its power exceptionally high.

This can be seen from the state of Yanwu King.

"Yan He."

Leaping backward from the black mist to create distance, Yanwu King was covered in arcs of reflected electricity and panting heavily.

The Sacrifice-Slaying Double-Edged Hammer also deals significant reflected damage to itself.

"Thundercloud!!"

Nanxia's expression changed drastically, and he anxiously craned his neck in the aisle of the other carriage.

"Thunderous shout."

Fortunately, the lightning cloud was not completely knocked down. It managed to prop itself up, breathing rapidly and heavily, and its body was covered in wounds.

If it weren't for the high HP and low defense inherent in legendary Pokémon, this attack would have knocked it unconscious.

Even the sturdy carriage was dented by the double-edged hammer, leaving a deep crater, demonstrating the terrifying force of the impact.

"Flash Ace, use Tri-Spin!"

Ash suddenly spoke up, not giving his opponent a chance at all, intending to take down Thundurus directly.

"Henrir, Flame Blaze... Never mind, use Flamethrower!!"

Douzi was a step too slow in giving instructions. He originally wanted to shout out a powerful move like Flame Charge, but obviously, having just used Double-Edged Hammer, Flame King was not yet able to use any other powerful moves.

Flame Ace took the lead, frost forming on his feet, and leaped forward, unleashing a chilling horizontal kick—

I have to say, the Triple Spin is such a useful move; it was worth spending so much time forcing myself to master it.

On the other side, King Yanwu took a deep breath and spewed out pillars of scorching fire from his nostrils.

"Don't forget us."

At this moment, Bei Shang suddenly stood beside Nan Xia, raised his hand and shouted:

"Use the Leaf Storm!!"

High in the sky, the tornado cloud raised its arms, as if chanting a song to summon wind and rain.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, a hurricane swept around, quickly expanding into a massive hurricane tornado that reached the sky and blocked the Flame Ace's side kick and the scorching flames halfway through.

The hurricane swept through, carrying withered and fallen leaves, engulfing both Pokémon as if they were in a desolate and bleak autumn day.

The Three Cloud Gods, or rather the Four Cloud Gods, each have their own unique moves.

Tornado's signature move, Leaf Storm - Flying attribute, always hits on rainy days.

Most importantly, when surrounded by a storm of dead leaves, there is a high chance of being frozen!
Even though they were more than ten meters away from the storm of dead leaves, Xiaozhi and Douzi felt a chill run down their spines for no apparent reason.

It wasn't a physical coldness, but a chilling gaze, like that of Articuno from Galar, a chill that came from the spiritual realm.

"Flash Ace, stand still and use Iron Head!"

Xiao Zhi made a decisive decision.

Flame Ace understood immediately and did not rush to attack; a sharp metallic gleam shone from his forehead.

In an instant, his body was embedded firmly into the metal of the carriage like a steel nail, remaining unmoved despite the raging icy winds around him.

Sizzle!

On the other hand, Yanwu King did not have the omnipotent free agent characteristics. He could still withstand the storm of withered leaves, but ice gradually condensed and adhered to his body surface.

There's no need to worry about that; Fire-type Pokémon are least afraid of being frozen.

Time passed slowly, and Golden Wheel Town was getting closer and closer, so there was no time to delay any longer!
"Ace Flame, use Smash!" Ace Flame leaped into the air, breaking through the encirclement of the leaf storm. His right foot was covered in rocky gray light as he was about to kick the tornado in the air and knock it down as well.

"Isn't the target the tornado? Ash, I won't let you get away with it so easily."

Seeing this, Bei Shang suddenly grinned and changed his command:

"Use a weather balloon!"

The tornado cloud paused for a moment, but quickly rubbed its palm together to form an energy ball, which it then threw out. Upon contact with the rain, the ball instantly expanded into a dangerous water sphere.

Flame Ace frowned, and could only stomp on the top of the Weather Ball to leap up and dodge the water bullets that were extremely effective against it.

But the opportunity had been missed, and they had no choice but to land.

"You've been seen through? As expected of Mr. Kitashō."

Xiao Zhi wiped the rain off his face and smiled helplessly.

Normally, when a tornado cloud sees an opponent charging towards it, it should create a hurricane to block it.

In that case, Flame Ace could adjust its direction and, with the thrust of the hurricane, slam it down hard on the lightning cloud below.

His target was actually the massive, crippled lightning cloud!
Because of Bei Shang's actions, the attack became ineffective.

However, the storm of fallen leaves had temporarily subsided, and Douzi waved his hand, his face also filled with excitement:
"Henrir, use Charged Flame Strike followed by Double-Edged Hammer!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Flame King's entire body burst into flames, instantly melting away the ice and snow, and he charged towards his target with great strides.

During the charge, the flames around him transformed into a brownish-gray stream of rock energy, with a pair of sharp stone horns extending from the front!

Double-edged mace!

"Amazing!"

Ash secretly clicked his tongue in admiration, realizing that seamlessly switching from Flame Burst to Flame Blitz wasn't actually that difficult.

But being able to seamlessly switch to the double-edged hammer proves that both moves have been mastered to perfection!
"Thunderous shout?!"

Another heavy Rock-type attack roared in, and Thundurus hadn't fully recovered yet.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he had no choice but to raise his strong arms, cover them with white light, and cross them to meet the attack.

Arm punch!

Clang—Bang!
Two brute forces collided head-on on the carriage, the violent explosion almost drowning out the sound of the rain. The surging force transformed into visible ripples, instantly shattering the surrounding rain curtain.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Yanwu King's burly body slid violently backward on the roof of the carriage, finally stopping only when he knelt on one knee, his leg braced against the edge.

"Yanwu, Yanwu"

Its body was crackling with violent arcs of reflected damage, its chest heaving, and it was panting heavily.

Meanwhile, the lightning cloud on the other side looked even more disheveled, its entire body flying out horizontally and crashing heavily into the "Ghost Sword Barrier" at the edge of carriage number 4, bouncing off like a kite with a broken string.

If it weren't for the Ghost Sword Barrier, it probably would have flown straight to carriages 7 and 8.

"Thunder."

The thundercloud lay fallen in the aisle of the train carriage, its body covered in wounds, only able to emit a low rumbling sound.

Finally, his head lolled to the side, and he completely lost consciousness.

Thundercloud, incapacitated!

The area was packed with people, with spectators almost touching the seats, and they all burst into surprised discussions.

"Thundercloud fainted?!"

"The legendary Pokémon has been defeated?!"

"Wow, that double-edged hammer attack just now... who could withstand that?!"

"So, those two really might defeat the Twin Cloud Gods today!?" (End of Chapter)
