Chapter 422 The Battle for Ownership

"Roar!" The battle horn suddenly sounded amidst a roar.

The wild swamp monster struck first, its powerful hind legs slamming into the ground, propelling its entire body forward like a cannonball.

The ground shattered under its stomp, and rubble and mud swept towards the shimmering swamp monster.

At the same time, it opened its large mouth full of sharp teeth, and a column of murky mud carrying sharp rocks shot straight at its opponent like a black arrow.

The clod of dirt shot towards the face of the shimmering swamp monster like a missile piercing the air.

"Get out of the way! Use Freeze Punch!"

Zhang Heng quickly gave the order, and the shimmering giant swamp monster twisted its massive body nimbly, dodging the attack with astonishing agility.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of crystalline ice armor instantly covered its fist, surrounded by swirling cold mist.

Facing the oncoming rubble, it swung its fist, and the biting cold air instantly froze the mud and rubble into a huge ice cone, which exploded in the air with a "boom".

A hint of surprise flashed in the wild swamp monster's eyes, but its attack became even more ferocious, because the mud shot was just a feint, and the real attack was about to begin.

It slammed its fist into the ground, and a powerful seismic wave spread outwards from it, causing the ground to tremble violently, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

The shimmering swamp monster lost its footing and swayed a few times.

In that instant, the wild Swampert seized the opportunity to get close, its arms like giant iron pincers, viciously grabbing at the neck of the Shiny Swampert.

Wild Pokémon use every means at their disposal in battles, and every move they make is ruthless.

At the critical moment, the Shiny Swampert crossed its arms, which were covered in ice energy, to block the attack. The collision collided with the opponent's arms, creating a shockwave that whipped up a gust of wind.

"Arm hammer! Charge!"

After a brief stalemate, the Shiny Swampert let out a low growl and activated its Arm Hammer skill, gathering a heavy and powerful Fighting-type energy in its arm before slamming it forward.

The wild swamp monster was forced to release its grip and staggered back a few steps.

"Feel the new power, with waterfall climbing!"

Zhang Heng seized the opportunity and shouted loudly. The shimmering swamp monster's pale purple body surged with power. It waved its large hand forward, and in an instant, a dazzling waterfall, as brilliant as a galaxy, appeared out of thin air, crashing towards the wild swamp monster with overwhelming force.

Zhang Heng's eyes lit up. This move was like wielding a galaxy and smashing it down on the enemy. Although the power of the skill was not yet as impressive as Gallade's Holy Sword skill, Zhang Heng was already very satisfied with it.

With a deafening roar, the wild swamp monster was slammed into the ground. Its massive body slid backward several meters under the powerful impact, carving two deep trenches into the ground.

However, the attack by the waterfall climbing skill did not end there.

The shiny Swampert waved its hand again, and the water energy behind it gathered into a second waterfall that roared out and crashed heavily into the wild Swampert once more.

The wild swamp monster's skin cracked and splintered as the water pounded against it, and blood seeped from the wounds, staining part of the water red.

Before it could even recover, the Glitter Swamp Monster let out a roar.

"roar~"

Riding on the third waterfall, its entire body merged into the water energy, transforming into a surging waterfall that crashed into its opponent with overwhelming force.

This time, the enormous impact sent the wild Swamp Monster flying, slamming it hard into a distant rock wall, instantly creating a huge dent in the wall and causing rocks to fall everywhere.

Swampert's Water/Ground typing doesn't give it an advantage in Water-type battles. Water-type moves can deal damage equal to the user's own type, and Waterfall caused considerable damage in this instance.

Zhang Heng and the Combo-Style Martial Arts Bear Master's eyes lit up. A Waterfall skill could actually achieve three consecutive attacks. This water-type skill was similar to the Combo-Style Martial Arts Bear Master's exclusive move - Water Stream Combo.

However, it is clear that Swampert's Waterfall does not have the effect of hitting critically with every move, nor does it have the benefit of the Shine Punch ability, so it is still much inferior, but it is a level higher than ordinary moves.

The wild swamp monster struggled to crawl out of the crater, its body covered in wounds and its breathing erratic, but its eyes remained defiant.

It let out a defiant roar, pounding its chest with its arms, its momentum rising as it prepared to launch another attack.

Suddenly, the wild swamp monster opened its blood-red maw, and a turbid torrent gushed out.

Wherever the water flowed, the ground softened rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the flat battlefield turned into a muddy swamp. The shimmering giant swamp monster slipped and quickly regained its footing, watching its opponent warily.

In an instant, the wild swamp monster sprang up like an ancient ferocious beast, its thick forelimbs slamming into the ground for leverage, its massive body carrying a stench that swept towards us.

It crashed into the Shiny Swamp Monster with the force of a mountain falling down, its broad chest slamming into the opponent's side like a battering ram.

The shimmering swamp monster grunted, staggered sideways several steps after being knocked, splashing up a large amount of mud.

Before it could even regain its footing, the wild Swampert unleashed a furious onslaught. Its massive arms swept across like steel, aimed directly at the shimmering Swampert's throat.

The shiny Swampert reacted extremely quickly, crossing its arms to block. The Fighting-type energy collided with the opponent's arms, bursting into dazzling sparks, and the shockwave sent mud flying everywhere.

But the wild Swampert used the recoil from the collision to flip its body in mid-air, and its single arm slammed down like a giant log into the face of the Shiny Swampert.

The shiny Swampert instinctively leaned back to avoid the attack, but the wild Swampert had anticipated this, twisting its body in mid-air and delivering a powerful Brick Smash to its abdomen. This strike contained terrifying force, slamming the shiny Swampert directly into the mud.

The wild swamp monster pressed its advantage, crouching down and pressing its hands firmly against the swamp monster's shoulders, opening its mouth full of sharp teeth and biting at its neck.

As the stench of blood assaulted its neck, the shimmering swamp monster's aura suddenly and eerily subsided. Its amber, vertical pupils contracted sharply, no longer bound by human commands, its fighting instincts awakening like an ancient tide.

Zhang Heng stood at the edge of the battlefield, activating his water manipulation power, keenly sensing the tremors of every muscle and the flow of energy in his Pokémon.

Thinking to himself, "This kind of battle with wild Pokémon is a great opportunity for Swampert to improve. Let it unleash its fighting instincts to the fullest."

Just as the wild Swampert's fangs were about to touch the skin, the Shiny Swampert suddenly twisted its body at an angle that defied the laws of physics. Its previously weak arms suddenly burst forth with the momentum of a dragon and tiger, and a Freeze Punch slammed heavily into the opponent's jaw.

This attack seemed to detonate space itself, shattering the mud within a ten-meter radius into ice shards.

The wild Swamp Monster forcefully shattered its frozen joints and launched a new charge, its body covered in ice shards.

In an instant, the water elements of the entire swamp converged wildly, and two dazzling waterfalls, like galaxies, suddenly tore through the air above the swamp, surging in from the left and right sides of the battlefield. The water, carrying the force of thunder, crashed into the wild swamp monster.

The rushing water held the wild swamp monster firmly in the air, and it struggled to swing its limbs, splashing mud everywhere as the water surged through it.

But under the restraint of these two immense forces, all struggles proved futile. It ceased its futile resistance, instead raising its head and staring directly at the shimmering swamp monster with a look of resignation.

The shimmering Swampert's water-type energy surged wildly, transforming its entire body into an even more dazzling waterfall as it charged straight towards its trapped opponent.

But this wasn't a fatal blow; the waterfall slowed abruptly the moment it touched the wild Swampert. The shimmering Swampert extended its forelimbs from the water, caught its swaying opponent, and gently placed it on the muddy ground.

The wild Swampert stared somewhat dazedly at the shimmering Swampert before it, the wariness and ferocity in its eyes gradually fading.

It tentatively extended its forelimbs, and the shimmering Swampert slowly stretched out its arm as well, the two Swamperts' palms gently touching. The tension in the air vanished, replaced by a strange, unspoken understanding born of blood ties.

Zhang Heng nodded as he looked at the scene before him.

This thrilling battle ended in an unexpected way. The last rays of sunlight bathed the two mud-covered swamp monsters...

At this moment, Duan Guanjun interrupted Zhang Heng, saying, "Zhang Heng, it's almost dawn, we don't have much time left."

Duan Guanjun was reminding Zhang Heng that they were about to leave. Hearing this, Zhang Heng nodded slightly and then looked at the Combo Style Martial Arts Master Xiong standing behind him.

The questioning in his eyes was undisguised. The Combo Style Martial Arts Master Xiong's gaze held a hint of eagerness, which then turned dim. A calm voice rang out.

"My brother is leaving this space, and I will take on the responsibility of protecting this independent space, so..."
