The Battle Erupts – Clore vs. Team Lightning
The sky turned dark as Clore's aura expanded, shaking the entire city.
Gray (serious): "Let's see how strong you've really become."
With a roar, Gray charged forward, throwing a devastating punch at Clore.
Clore smirked.
He blocked it with one hand.
Then, in an instant, he countered with a blast of dark energy that sent Gray crashing through multiple buildings.
Bolt (shocked): "Damn… he's fast!"
Lisa, Lyra, Bolt, Brock, Misty, and Flair rushed in together, attacking from all directions.
Lisa and Lyra unleashed divine angelic blasts.
Bolt struck with lightning faster than thought.
Brock controlled the earth beneath Clore's feet.
Misty and Flair combined water and fire to create a steam explosion.
Clore… didn't move.
His Dark Mode aura exploded, blocking everything.
With a wave of his hand, he sent them all flying backward.
Clore (grinning): "Is that all?"

Oak (serious): "But… will that be enough?"
He wasn't sure.

But deep down…
He already knew.
Something far worse was coming.
And he was ready.
