"Roar roar roar!" Magmar went berserk. Its furious roars even woke up the Magcargo throughout the Flame Cave. The surrounding Magcargo were so scared they didn't dare to breathe, then scattered and fled. Some even directly ran into the magma, and in a blink of an eye, were swallowed by the gurgling magma.

In an instant, no Magcargo appeared in the Flame Cave. Although Magcargo was quite a bit stronger than Magmar, Magmar previously relied on the Flame Orb to completely negate Fire-type attacks. Moreover, under the boost of the Flame Orb, the Flamethrower Magmar unleashed could even directly melt Magcargo's volcanic shell. Magmar became the tyrant of the Flame Cave.

Magmar once again saw the wall, which only had the residual warmth of the Flame Orb, its eyes instantly turning crimson. A trace of berserk killing intent surged into its heart. Magmar was originally a hot-tempered Pokémon, and once angered, it was almost unstoppable.

"Roar roar roar!" Magmar took a deep breath and immediately dashed in the direction Qing Wu disappeared.

"Zubat, this way!" Qing Wu still couldn't let Magmar destroy the rock pillar for hatching Fire-type Pokémon. So, he fled deeper along the path. He needed to find the best battle location, a place where he could completely suppress Magmar.

A gigantic fireball charged towards Qing Wu. Qing Wu leaped upwards, grabbed Zubat's feet, and Zubat used the Tail Wind state to accelerate its advance, thus escaping the fireball's explosion range. The fireball formed a "Great Fire" character and directly exploded. The explosion created a huge shockwave that even affected Qing Wu.

Qing Wu only felt a strong gust of wind behind him, almost making him feel dizzy. Zubat almost lost its balance, but fortunately, after undergoing training in Level 6 Gale Winds, it managed to stabilize itself and continued to fly forward.

The Great Fire Blast directly turned into magma within the cave. Magmar glanced contemptuously at Qing Wu, opened its mouth wide, and spewed out countless black smoke.

"This is Smokescreen. What does this Magmar want to do?" Qing Wu pondered for a while, but couldn't figure out Magmar's intention.

Zubat flapped its wings and flew directly into a vast open space. The area was filled with solidified volcanic rock, suggesting that something had suddenly absorbed all the heat from the magma.

"Alright, Zubat, stop. We'll battle Magmar here. Are you ready? You might get seriously injured." "Qing Wu said to Zubat, "But it doesn't matter. As long as you have one last breath, I can save you."

"Come out, Aron, protect me!" After Aron emerged from its Poké Ball, it nodded.

Everything was ready except for Magmar. Qing Wu noticed the entire ground shaking constantly. The already solidified volcanic rock began to turn from black to red again, gradually softening and becoming active once more. Towering pillars of fire erupted from the volcanic rock. Magma, like a volcanic eruption, spewed forth along with volcanic rock and magma, just like Camerupt's signature move, Eruption, simulating a volcanic eruption.

"Zubat!" Qing Wu shouted. Zubat naturally understood Qing Wu's meaning.

Zubat flapped its wings, forming a barrier of wind that blocked the countless splashing magma and volcanic rock outside the barrier. Qing Wu watched with his own eyes as the volcanic rock turned back into scorching magma.

Countless magma flowed, emitting numerous toxic gases. A strong sulfuric smell was extremely pungent. Qing Wu saw a black shadow jump out of the magma, standing on a piece of volcanic rock that had not yet completely dissolved. This volcanic rock was like a surfing skateboard, manipulated by the black shadow, carrying various magma towards Qing Wu.

Qing Wu focused his gaze and realized that the black shadow was the Magmar from before.

"I didn't expect this Magmar to be able to manipulate such a large area of magma, it feels like a similar ability to Groudon's." Even a normal Camerupt couldn't turn cooled volcanic rock back into magma. He hadn't expected this Magmar to have learned this ability. This Magmar's importance instantly rose significantly in Qing Wu's mind.

Magmar has upward flames on its head, like hair, and a fire symbol on its abdomen. Its entire body seems to be made of fire. Additionally, its mouth strongly resembles a duck's beak. Magmar's body temperature reaches 1200 degrees Celsius, and it becomes more energetic in hotter places. Magmar is born in volcanoes.

Because its entire body is burning, it looks like a fireball. In battle, it will spew hot flames from its body to intimidate opponents, and the hot wind it generates can even ignite surrounding vegetation. Moreover, in magma areas, Magmar can continuously absorb heat from the magma, allowing it to use Fire-type moves without consuming excessive Fire-type energy.

Qing Wu didn't notice that the Omega Ruby pattern on the back of his hand was flickering, as if calling for something.

"Zubat, use Air Slash!" This was a contest of wind versus fire. Zubat flapped its wings, forming countless crescent-shaped wind blades that slashed into the rolling sea of magma. The wind blades continuously weakened the power of Magmar's Magma Surfing.

"Quick Attack!" Qing Wu took a few steps back, then continued to give commands. Zubat flapped its wings, and countless air currents surrounded Zubat's body. Zubat seemed to put on a layer of white Wind Armor. Zubat's speed also exploded. Coupled with Quick Attack, it overcame wind resistance and rapidly increased its flying speed.

Magmar only saw a flash of white light, and its abdomen received a severe blow. The pain made Magmar almost spew magma, but this impact also affected its ability to control the magma sea. Magmar finally lost its footing and fell from the volcanic rock. Magmar plunged into the magma, causing numerous "splashes."

"Zubat, use Hurricane to calm the magma sea!" Countless hurricanes rose instantly as Zubat flapped its wings, forming a thick wall of wind that blocked the magma sea's advance. The magma quickly cooled and returned to blackish-gray volcanic rock, falling into the magma pool.

"Be careful, Zubat, Magmar is getting enraged!" Qing Wu saw many large fireballs appearing in the magma pool. It turned out that Magmar was continuously using Fire Blast at the bottom of the magma. Due to the continuous supply of Fire-type energy, Magmar didn't even need to stop, casting one Fire Blast per second.

"Zubat, watch out for fireballs that suddenly explode into a large character shape. Use the method from the last special training to treat the magma as water, and use Supersonic to detect Magmar's precise location," Qing Wu directly ordered. He wanted to find Magmar's whereabouts.

Zubat nodded, using Quick Attack + Aerial Ace to quickly dodge while emitting supersonic waves from its mouth. Zubat directly detected Magmar's precise location.
