Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

But was the camel really killed by the last straw?

Naturally not.

Or rather, not only that.

The first straw broke the camel's back, then the second straw... and finally the last straw.

This was originally a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.

Every straw on a camel's back was a cause of its death.

At this moment, the same happened to the Sceptile, which had exited Mega Evolution and was knocked to the ground by the Dark Pulse.

From the moment it was exposed to the malevolent aura of the Blazing Roaring Tiger, the spiritual energy maintaining the manifestation of the bond had been constantly burning away in a corner it wasn't paying attention to.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger's attacks were like constantly adding more and more to the burning base.

Ultimately, this became the final straw that broke the lizard king's back.

The reason for the Lizard King's defeat was his complete ignorance of the evil aura that, enhanced by the Evil Face Stone, could burn spiritual power at a deeper level.

Just as the Lizard King was about to lose its ability to move, the Blazing Roaring Tiger, which was also covered in wounds and in poor condition, gathered its emotional energy as fuel and used a final burst of flames to completely deplete the Lizard King's stamina bar.

Beneath the towering flames, the Blazing Roaring Tiger released the Magnetic Field Rotation and Lava Overload.

After all, this thing only has no side effects when it's in good condition; once it's in a low-health state, there's still a chance it will explode.

After all, Ho-Ohin's Sacred Flame essentially enhances Incineroar's own physique and vitality, as well as the slight amount of fire control added by the fireball stone fragments manipulated by Reshiram.

As the roar gradually subsided, countless spectators stared at the Sceptile King lying on the ground, its body charred black, its face still bearing the shock of the moment when the Sceptile King suddenly withdrew from Mega Evolution and suffered a crushing defeat.

Even the dumbest person can see that it's impossible for Sceptile to suddenly deactivate Mega Evolution during a beam attack.

It's definitely related to the Blazing Roaring Tiger!

Unfortunately, Su Hao didn't have the habit of explaining his trump cards to others.

The referee's voice slowly rang out.

"Sceptile is unable to battle. Ash, please switch to another Pokémon!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Lizard King..."

After a three-minute break, Ash recalled Sceptile, handed the Poké Ball to Nurse Joy who had rushed over, took a deep breath, and threw the Poké Ball.

"I've chosen you again, Greninja!"

The red light flashed.

Ash's Greninja, still in its Bond Pact transformation state, appeared on the field.

The wounds inflicted by Incineroar on its body were still there, but after resting in the Poké Ball for a while, its breathing had become more stable, and the decrease in its Special Attack and Physical Attack had disappeared.

In a corner of the stands where friends and family were gathered, Serena clasped her hands together and said nervously, "Ash... wants Greninja to turn the tide."

Clemont, standing next to her, adjusted his glasses and said thoughtfully, "The highly anticipated Mega Evolution only severely injured Incineroar, while Ash has already lost three of his partners. Ash must be under a lot of pressure."

"After all, Diancie, the Mega Garchomp that decisively defeated Cynthia Champion, has yet to appear..."

On the battlefield, Su Hao raised an eyebrow.

Greninja has been dispatched again?

It's really intriguing to wonder who Ash's sixth Pokémon, which hasn't even appeared yet, is.

Is he planning to use his superior physical strength and willpower to Mega Evolve Pokémon such as Charizard, Heracross, Gengar, and Lucario again, or is there something else going on?

Thinking about this...

Su Hao picked up the Poké Ball and said, "Come back, Incineroar."

"Kahoo?"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger looked puzzled.

It's in such a state that it can't fight Greninja anymore, but it can still throw out some tough words and leave.

"In your current state, before you can even utter a curse, Greninja will rush up and kill you with a single strike."

Having conveyed his meaning through the waveguide, Su Hao smiled slightly and pressed the button on the Poké Ball.

Incineroar had no choice but to obediently be recalled into its Poké Ball.

If it gets instantly killed, it'll be too ashamed to show its face!

After recalling Incineroar, Su Hao seamlessly deployed his fourth Pokémon.

"The elegant water spirit, Milotic!"

Su Hao finished speaking.

With its scales shimmering under the spotlight and surrounded by mist, Milotic made its elegant and beautiful entrance.

"???"

In the lounge, Cynthia was full of questions.

No.

You copied my lines!?

"Miro~"

Milotic stared at Greninja, and when it noticed the clear look in Greninja's eyes, the corners of its mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Even those who have been defeated by you can resist your irresistible charm and are still worthy of being your opponents!

"The champion class has arrived..."

On the podium, Ye Ci, who was sitting next to the smiling Damaranchi, muttered to himself.

From the start of this battle, Su Hao consistently sent out Pokémon that appeared to be at the level of the Elite Four, but in reality possessed power comparable to Champion-level Pokémon.

And now, for the first time, he's sent out a Pokémon that's already a Champion-level Pokémon, and its battle power...

Su Hao suddenly spoke, interrupting Ye Ci's thoughts.

"Ash, do you and Greninja have the courage to face the ocean head-on?"

Xiao Zhi was taken aback, not understanding what Su Hao was talking about.

Greninja became more vigilant than ever before.

It once sparred with Milotic without any trainer's guidance.

And as a result, it lost!

Even now, Milotic's domineering power still makes it tremble with fear.

Not to mention, the opponent's aura has also reached the champion level, just like his own!

Ye Ci was also pondering Su Hao's words.

But the next second, she was completely dumbfounded.

Milotic soared into the sky like a dragon, rising straight up.

Accompanied by its ethereal cry, the entire palace arena was shrouded in thick black clouds, and in the blink of an eye, an unprecedented downpour poured down like a dam bursting its gates.

at the same time.

An extremely ancient aura, as if it were the very origin of the ocean, rippled outwards.

Ash, who shared a psychic connection with Greninja, swallowed hard. He finally understood why his older brother Su Hao had suddenly asked him this question.

He didn't back down; instead, his eyes lit up, and he responded enthusiastically, "I have it!!!"

in the lounge.

Compared to Lance, Cynthia, and Leon, Steven, as the champion of the Hoenn League, knows best just how terrifying the power Milotic has unleashed.

His composure vanished completely, and the demeanor of Prince Devon was abandoned. He stared at the outside world with a look of utter horror, uttering each word clearly: "The Origin... Sea!"

----------

Chapter 1198 Final X: Bonds (Two-in-One)

Daigo remembers it very clearly.

That power seemed to be the origin of all seawater, completely suppressing other energies, as if creating a domain unique to the other.

Abundant water-attribute energy permeates this area, obeying the commands of the creator of the sea and rejecting all fire-attribute energy, making it extremely domineering.

How could this Milotic possibly unleash the Primal Sea?

Moreover, Daigo always felt that the "Origin Sea" before him seemed to be different from the Origin Sea he knew.

On the battlefield.

Milotic effectively bound the power of the pseudo-Primordial Sea to the skies above the battlefield.

Even if it were the original Kyogre himself, he couldn't do this.

The reason is simple: the power of Primal Kyogre was too great, easily changing the weather of an entire region. It would be too much to ask it to compress its power into this remote corner.

Not to mention the possibility of an explosion or loss of control if the energy is compressed to this extent.

Su Hao knew that Milas's exquisite control was closely related to the fragments of the Water Drop Slab.

Latios, the Infinite Source of Latios, enhanced Milotic, allowing it to leap to a higher level of life while maintaining its original form.

The water droplet stone fragments purified the water-attribute energy within it, bringing it closer to its origin, and even enabling it to master Kyogre's two signature moves.

The saying "quality over quantity" perfectly describes Milnas.

Amidst the torrential rain, Milotic, shrouded in mist, gathered the raindrops and, to the astonishment of countless onlookers, compressed them, transforming them into armor as it continuously took shape.

A moment later, with Milotic at its core, the Water Dust Serpent, nearly the size of a Dynamax Pokémon, raised its head and let out a thunderous roar. Its unintelligent eyes were fixed on Ash's Greninja below, who was waiting in ambush.

Milotic did not forcefully order the unprecedented water-attribute energy gathered in the Palace Arena to move away from Greninja.

It generously shared the bonus from the pseudo-Origin Sea with Greninja, as if giving Greninja a test.

Greninja could also sense that the concentration of water-attribute energy around it had risen to an unprecedented level, and even the giant shuriken on its back had grown several times larger, almost as big as the giant shuriken it had created with its shadow clones during its battle against the Super Sceptile King in the semi-finals of the Kalos League.

If it were an ordinary Fire-type Pokémon staying in this area, it probably wouldn't be able to collect even a single bit of Fire-type energy.
