Jean Grey nodded his head and Rychtyosaur immediately spewed out magma from his back, enveloping the entire field with it. The grass that had been put in place for the stadium was burnt in an instant, and only molten rock was left in its wake. Even from afar, the spectators could feel the heat from the magma as hot air rose from the ground vapor and smoke rose from the field as the magma got stronger. Jurah, White Mist's second tamed beast, had no choice but to fly up in fear that the magma would burn its body made of cloth.

The referee worriedly looked at the challenger Jean Grey and the defending champion White Mist since the heat from the lava domain was getting more intense. He had already enveloped himself in a barrier he concocted himself thanks to his superpower, however, Jean Grey and White Mist still didn't budge from where they stood. It's as if they were unaffected by the intense heat.

"If that's the case, then, I guess I should just—" The referee said to himself as he enlarged the barrier. The barrier covered the entire field. He, who was by the edge of it, was on the other side of the barrier. The spectators were outside the barrier as well, and the only ones who could feel the heat coming from Rychtyosaur were Jean Grey and White Mist.

"Let's see how long you can last." White Mist said. "Jurah! Use psychic on Rychtyosaur!" White Mist called out, once again extending his hands towards the field. "I bet you won't even last five seconds."

In an instant, Rychtyosaur started floating from the ground. This worried Jean Grey a little bit since he knew that going out of bounds would also result in a loss. While he could sit back during this fight and let his Rychtyosaur lose, there's no guarantee that he'd win the next match. That's why he couldn't afford to lose now. There was no way he'd let go of the chance of an easy win.

'Rychtyosaur, use hydropump! And then use flamethrower. Make sure to alternate so that Jurah won't have time to recover. And try to burn it. I know it's weak to fire.' Jean Grey said in his mind.

Before Jurah could throw Rychtyosaur out of bounds, Rychtyosaur struggled, and he started shooting hydro pump and flamethrower toward Jurah alternatively. At first, Jurah thought that it wouldn't pose a problem if he didn't dodge, but when it almost caught on fire because of the sudden flamethrower, Jura suddenly let go of the psychic since it had to focus on dodging.

"Jurah! What are you— never mind. Use psybeam!" White Mist ordered.

As soon as Jurah dodged a flamethrower, it fired off a psybeam, which hit Rychtyosaur squarely in the face. A grunt came from Rychtyosaur's mouth as it shook off the attack like a champ.

But even though the attack connected, Jean Grey was still smiling. It seems like there are still some tricks up his sleeves. 'Rychtyosaur, use water room, and then use fire tornado.'

Rychtyosaur nodded its head before it let out a soft growl. Water started coming from its feet, covering the entire magma domain in an instant. The water then continued to flow and then it flowed upwards after reaching a certain distance. Before they knew it, the entire field was entrapped in a room made out of water, and there was no way Jurah could get out of it since the water had become an impenetrable wall of raging liquid.

"What on actual... this is... " White Mist muttered to himself. He had no idea that such a move was possible. This was the first time he witnessed someone using the water room skill before and it surprised him. The delicate control that Rychtyosaur had, it amazed him to no end. And even though he was already losing, he couldn't help but admire the masterpiece that is the skill water room.

"NOW! Rychtyosaur!" Jean Grey screamed.

From the floor of the water room, small embers started lighting up, growing larger and larger as seconds passed. These embers then transformed into a huge streak of lines made out of fire, and they rose up to the ceiling of the water room. The vertical line of fire started raging, and then a dozen or more fire tornadoes appeared in the room.

"I hope your Jurah doesn't suffocate once the fire tornadoes burn up all the oxygen inside." Jean Grey warned, his lips curving upwards as he smiled.

"Heh... I've been waiting for this moment. You see, my Jurah is not trapped in there with your Rychtyosaur, your Rychtyosaur is trapped in there with him." White Mist said with a confident tone in his voice. "Jurah! Use the forbidden move self destruct!" He screamed.

For years and years, White Mist had been training its Jurah to endure its self destruct. After all, self-destruct is a move that knocks out both opponents in the field. It has a hundred percent success rate, but White Mist knew that if his Jurah were to get more powerful, it would be able to endure the full brunt of a self-destruct attack. It took them many months of hellish training. But it was to no avail.

The rules of the beast battles state that whoever faints first would be declared the loser. Jurah just had to float for a couple of seconds after the self-destruct. It just had to wait for its opponent to fall first so it could be declared the winner. This was how White Mist had gotten a win. Jurah is one of the most powerful tamed beasts he had in his possession because it always guaranteed him a win.

White Mist commanded Rychtyosaur to shoot off a powerful flamethrower toward Jurah, hitting it squarely before it unleashed a powerful self-destruct which caused it to explode along with Rychtyosaur. The huge explosion completely shattered the water room and the barrier that the referee put in place.

A billow of smoke rose up from the explosion, blocking everyone's view of the two tamed beasts that duked it out with each other. The spectators fell silent as they rose from their seats, they were trying to take a peek through the smoke but they couldn't see anything.

When the smoke cleared, Jurah was still floating and Rychtyosaur was still holding his ground. They both haven't fainted yet, but they were on the verge of it.

White Mist clenched his fists, he had underestimated his opponent. Rychtyosaur was actually strong enough to withstand the full brunt of a self-destruct. Of course, that's the bare minimum that Rychtyosaur could do since it's a legendary beast.

Thud.

Thud.

There was a pause before the referee started screaming. "A DRAW! IT'S A DRAW! Both tamed beasts are down!" The referee announced.

On the huge televisions that broadcasted the fight, a replay was played. And just like what the referee announced, it really was a draw.

"A draw huh? It's been so long since I've gotten a draw. You're truly a worthy opponent. Our final battle will be legendary." Jean Grey said.

White Mist let out a chuckle. "I too haven't gotten a draw in a long time. I guess it all comes down to the last round." White Mist continued.

Suddenly, Jean Grey felt an intense power welling within White Mist. It was an unusual kind of power, one that he has never encountered before... but even then, the power seemed familiar.

With a sigh, White Mist tried to focus himself as he accessed the depths of his mind to connect to his one and only Representative. He couldn't afford to lose the last fight, and that's why he decided to risk it. Even though this might uncover his identity as their attacker a couple of days ago, he just had to do it. His image was on the line here, and he couldn't afford to lose this match in front of so many people.

"Let's go Death Metronome." White Mist said.

Black smoke started rising from behind White Mist and a mechanical pyramid appeared behind him. It was a somewhat huge pyramid, three meters tall, the pyramid was made up of cogwheels, and there was a hole in the middle of it. From the hollowed-out part of the pyramid, a pair of red eyes shone brightly, its sinister gaze fixated on Jean Grey.

At first, Jean Grey was confused since the black smoke was oddly similar to the guy that attacked them by the Beast Dimension. But then again, Jean Grey had no proof so he didn't think about it too much.

.....

Meanwhile,

As Satoshi watched Whit Mist summon his last tamed beast, he too felt an odd feeling of deja vu within him. Somehow, the tamed beast that came out of the black smoke was familiar to him, he just couldn't quite put his finger around it.

[Satoshi, that's the Representative Death Metronome. We've met him in the Beast Dimension before.] Dex suddenly pointed out.

"You mean... he's the one who attacked us back then and pretended to kidnap Ash? The White Mist did that?" Satoshi hissed
