He knows Pokémon better than me.

Without the rain, and with only 29 cannons, the destructive power of this Gigantamax Water Cannon attack was significantly reduced.

Boom boom boom——!
As a burst of water cannon fire swept through the area, Sanxiong naturally threw out his fists to defend himself.

Even though they were still pushed back by the powerful water cannons, they basically managed to withstand it.

Then came a powerful counterattack!
"Thunder Fist!"

Master Ma's martial arts style, Bear Master, remains the One-Strike Style: Lightning Fist, with formidable power.

"Dark Strike! Rock Smash!!"

The combined punches of the bear-wearing and martial arts master not only dealt effective damage but also destroyed another of Blastoise's cannons.

bass--!
At that moment, the giant wristbands of all three lit up simultaneously.

"Master Ma, come here!"

Ash immediately spoke up, since only his Urshifu had such effective moves here.

That said, if Pikachu were to join the battle, the difficulty of this Dynamax raid battle would probably be significantly reduced!
"Then the old man goes! Gigantamax, Urshifu!"

Master Ma didn't refuse. He immediately recalled his Martial Arts Urshifu, pressed the wristband, and then threw out the inflated Poké Ball.

"Martial shout—!!"

With a powerful and resounding roar, the Gigantamax Urshifu made its appearance—

This is the Gigantamax form of the One-Hit Strike style. Its original black fur has now turned red, and its right foot steps forward, its whole body is filled with a deep red glow.

In terms of size, it is already not much inferior to this Gigantamax Blastoise.

"Gigantamax Urshifu is still so cool!"

"Wu Ao!"

Ash and Urshifu both showed expressions of amazement and longing.

I think I saw Master Ma use it once before, somewhere.

Master Ma didn't turn his head, keeping his eyes fixed ahead, but he did offer a reminder:
"Don't be envious, Ash. Your Urshifu can also Gigantamax."

After all, the latter had grown up on the Isle of Armor and had long since tasted the Max Soup made by Honeybee, so this unexpected information delighted Ash.

However, at this moment, compared to the Martial Arts Urshifu's exclusive move, Gigantamax Strike, electric-type moves are still more lethal.

"Martial Arts Bear Master, use Giant Lightning!!"

Master Ma gave a deep shout, and the Gigantamax Martial Arts Bear Master threw a punch forward from a distance, creating a surging shockwave.

Boom——!
The next second, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a thick bolt of lightning crashed down, striking Blastoise. The latter tensed up in pain and let out a scream.

Ash looked at the Pokédex and saw that Blastoise's HP had dropped sharply.

"Let's join in! Wearing bear armor, DD Golden Hook Arm! Martial Arts Bear Master, use Swift Rock Smash!"

Wearing the bear, it immediately raised its arms, ignited black flames, and spun out like a top.

Martial Arts Master Xiong was a step slower, watching the lightning strike from the sky, lost in thought.

"Martial shout—!"

It then charged out, this time using its right fist not to smash rocks, but to unleash a violent arc of electricity.

"You've learned the Lightning Fist?!"

Ash's face lit up with joy. It seemed that he had successfully mastered the Thunder Punch and Max Lightning techniques after observing his senior's moves!

"In that case, let's use the Lightning Fist!!"

Keep in mind that after the bombardment of Max Lightning, the entire field enters an Electric Terrain environment, where the power of all Electric-type moves is increased.

Whoosh! Bang!
Sizzle, bang!

DD's Golden Hook Arm and Thunder Punch simultaneously struck Blastoise's cannons on both sides, successfully bending them—although not completely destroyed, they are probably now difficult to aim at.

At this moment, Blastoise has only 25 cannons left.

"Long-haired—!"

Finally, Mary's hairy troll was successfully resurrected and made a full-power comeback.

Mary quickly perked up; she had felt completely invisible, as if she had vanished from sight.

"Long-haired troll, use Light Wall!"

Just as the light screen effect ended, the Grimmsnarl slammed its paw down, creating another white light barrier around the four Pokémon, seamlessly transitioning into its current state.

Without the protection of the light wall, Blastoise's water cannon attack wouldn't have been so easily withstood.

The Gigantamax Blastoise continued its attack, boasting quite a few moves. This time, the more than twenty cannons on its back simultaneously gathered a dark purple light, and the energy beams it fired were accompanied by a majestic dragon roar.

Hua Hua Hua——!
A deep purple beam of light formed a tornado that enveloped all four Pokémon, and conspicuous dragon wings resembling Salamence could be seen on the outer edge of the vortex.

Max Raider!

"Ugh, what an annoying move."

Seeing this, Ash and Master Ma frowned at the same time. The additional effect of Max Raider is to lower the target's Attack, which is a huge weakening for Ursaring.

"Damn it. If only my hairy troll could provide guidance."

Mary felt a pang of regret.

In Hyde's skill list, she saw a fighting-attribute TM and instructed—

It has the effect of increasing the physical attack and physical defense of all teammates, which is equivalent to making everyone fit.

When she was considering her choice, Hyde warned her that the hairy trolls might have difficulty learning it.

"Okay, let's use more of Ash's seeds when we get back and try to crack this tough nut!"

Mary made up her mind, mainly because after her hairy troll used up two walls, she really didn't know any other support moves.

"Martial Arts Bear Master, fight with the ultimate fist!!"

Master Ma continued his attack, saying that his Urshifu could "instruct" him, but it would become "Max Guard" when Dynamaxed.
No problem, Max Punch will also boost the attack of all allies.

It's equivalent to a three-level increase in physical attack, which is much better than a simple Max Lightning.

Boom!

A massive meteorite fist fell from the sky, slamming into Blastoise's face. Immediately afterward, all four of the team's Pokémon glowed with a red aura of enhancement, their Attack stats boosted.

Of course, it simply returned to the initial state.

Then, the bear-wearing and martial arts bear master below joined forces to punch, each destroying another cannon, leaving 23 remaining.

He figured it out: the thickest cannon in the middle of the Gigantamax Blastoise was the most powerful.

"Kami—!!"

Seeing this, the Gigantamax Blastoise aimed its turret at the ground and unleashed a silver-white energy beam.

In an instant, the ground cracked open, and countless metal spikes rose up, spreading towards the four Pokémon.

Giant Steel from the Cannon Beam Cannon!
Blastoise's body then glowed with an amplifying red light, its physical defense increased!

However, Steel-type moves are much easier to deal with Fighting-type Pokémon.

Ash's bear and Urshifu immediately landed in front of the troll, rushed out, and forcefully smashed away all the spreading metal spikes with their fists.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The entire arena resounded with frequent, ear-piercing metallic explosions; the scene was truly spectacular! (End of Chapter)
