-----------------------

After completing his evolution, Kommo-o began to move.

His entire dance carried an intense hunger for victory.

Cynthia’s eyes widened in shock.

"That’s... Victory Dance! Kommo-o finally learned it just like that?"

A look of surprise appeared on Julian’s face.

"That’s right. It really is Victory Dance!"

Totem Kommo-o was unmoved.

Victory Dance was indeed more complete than Dragon Dance.

But as the Totem, Totem Kommo-o had mastered an even stronger move.

Totem Kommo-o stepped forward, moving in rhythm as the dragon scales across his body began to tremble.

Sharp, explosive sounds rang out.

It was not Clanging Scales...

It was Clangorous Soul!

A move that strengthened Kommo-o’s power in every aspect.

The price was consuming a third of Kommo-o’s stamina.

However, after Totem Kommo-o used Clangorous Soul to complete his enhancement, his stamina did not drop by much at all!

Julian released Aura, trying to understand the secret behind Clangorous Soul.

He wanted to know why Totem Kommo-o consumed so little stamina when using it.

Could that technique be used on his own Kommo-o?

Unfortunately, Totem aura was too powerful. Even with Julian using Aura, he could not obtain much information.

Cynthia smiled and said, "Either way, Totem Kommo-o was forced by Kommo-o into using Clangorous Soul."

"In that sense, he has already lost this battle."

Losing did not necessarily mean being defeated.

Totem Kommo-o had been the Totem for so many years.

Yet when fighting a Kommo-o that had only just evolved, not only did he have to use his full strength, he even needed Clangorous Soul to strengthen himself.

If it were you, wouldn’t you feel embarrassed as a dragon?

A Totem was a ruler of Alola.

A dragon had to keep his dignity.

Without dignity, how could he rule over an area?

Using Clangorous Soul was already embarrassing enough. If he then lost the battle, Totem Kommo-o might as well leave the group.

The dragon group!

He could not afford that shame.

Totem Kommo-o raised his head and roared, his claws shining with brilliant purple light.

Kommo-o also used Dragon Claw and charged at Totem Kommo-o with a roar.

Totem Kommo-o’s movements became much lighter, and he tangled with Kommo-o in close combat.

But the more they fought, the more shocked Totem Kommo-o became.

Hakamo-o’s strength had already been exaggerated enough.

A Hakamo-o actually possessing power beyond a normal Kommo-o was absurd.

Now, after evolving, that strength had risen to the point where he could clash head-on with Totem Kommo-o.

But what shocked Totem Kommo-o even more was Kommo-o’s dragon scales!

Their terrifying defence was already not much weaker than Totem Kommo-o’s own scales.

Combined with Kommo-o’s more refined fighting style, Totem Kommo-o was forced to realise something bitter.

He could not deal meaningful damage to Kommo-o.

His only path to victory was to win ugly by grinding down his stamina.

As the Totem, he had his own pride too.

A resolute light appeared in his eyes.

A fierce scale-chime exploded from Totem Kommo-o’s body.

This time, Totem Kommo-o’s stamina visibly dropped.

In exchange, all of Totem Kommo-o’s abilities rose sharply.

One claw swung out, shattering the dragon scales on Kommo-o’s arm.

But in Kommo-o’s eyes, Totem Kommo-o saw no fear!

Only excitement!

Intense excitement!

Julian had been worried that after Kommo-o evolved, no one would be able to break through his defence.

He had clearly worried too much.

The world was full of monsters, countless scattered across the regions.

Totem Kommo-o was somewhat stunned, and Kommo-o struck him in the face with a rising punch, making him stagger two steps back.

He did not understand!

His proudest dragon scales had been shattered. Why could Kommo-o still be happy?

You are about to lose!

Do you not understand that?

"Roar!"

Kommo-o grinned and let out a loud dragon roar, so clear that even the clouds overhead seemed to part.

"Roar!"

Anything that shatters my dragon scales will only make me stronger!

Are they not defensive tools meant to be broken?

Totem Kommo-o froze.

Kommo-o rushed in front of him, wrapped in brilliant purple light.

Dragon Claw!

Dragon Tail!

Dragon head!

Dragon fangs!

Kommo-o skilfully used every part of his body to attack!

This!

This was Outrage turned into close combat!

Putting aside Clanging Scales, Kommo-o’s true finishing move was actually combining Outrage and Close Combat.

This ancient, frenzied battle style firmly suppressed Totem Kommo-o.

And through the pain, as he watched Kommo-o’s shattered scales dance through the air...

Totem Kommo-o remembered a day long ago, beneath the setting sun.

He had defeated his rivals and successfully become the new Totem.

That blood pumping feeling of battle, of his strength rising upward, still seemed to be right before his eyes.

Have I really become this stagnant in only two hundred years?!

Totem Kommo-o’s eyes became sharp again.

No!

He was still young!

He could still keep fighting!

Even more powerful energy surged through Totem Kommo-o’s body.

His tail swept out, sending Kommo-o flying.

Fortunately, Kommo-o blocked with his arm in time.

He adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed steadily.

Julian was startled. He had not expected Totem Kommo-o’s strength to suddenly rise by so much!

It was not Clangorous Soul!

It was power coming from Totem Kommo-o’s own heart!

That sudden change caught both Julian and Kommo-o off guard.

Julian narrowed his eyes and was about to pour Aura into Kommo-o for one final gamble.

Unexpectedly, Totem Kommo-o shook his head and took a purple Z-Crystal from his body, holding it out to Kommo-o.

"Roar~"

He acknowledged Kommo-o.

Then he looked towards Julian. Julian used Aura to communicate with him.

"You and Kommo-o are the strongest pair I have seen in the last hundred years!"

"Speak. Aside from the Z-Crystal for passing the island challenge, as long as I can help you, I will."

"Thank you for helping me recover the passion that once surged in my heart. The me standing here now is the true me!"

Julian nodded.

The previous Totem Kommo-o had been like an extinct volcano.

Now, that dead volcano had been reignited, molten lava surging within it once more.

"Totem, we want to meet Tapu Fini. Is that possible?"

Totem Kommo-o frowned slightly.

"I can only do my best to help. I cannot directly take you to meet Lady Tapu Fini."

"I will go to see Tapu Fini shortly and tell her about you and Kommo-o. A pair as interesting as you..."

"I believe Lady Tapu Fini should be willing to meet you once."

Julian smiled and took out all of Kommo-o’s Pokémon food.

"You two must be hungry after battling for so long. Eat something first."

Kommo-o’s eyes widened.

Mine!

That’s all mine!

Can you please stop using my food every single time?

And this time, you’ve taken out so much!

What am I supposed to eat tomorrow?

Julian had no choice. With this many Hakamo-o and Jangmo-o around, taking out too little, there wouldn’t be enough to share.
