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

It stared intently at Milotic, and if it wasn't mistaken, that attack was about to come...

"Mynas, Pseudo-Source Pulse!"

Su Hao gave the order forcefully.

Beside the giant serpent of the mortal realm constructed by Milotic, water vapor began to condense, rapidly compressing to its limit, transforming into a bluish-white ball of light.

next second.

The ball of light burst forth with dazzling brilliance, and eight beams of light poured out, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that made one's eardrums uncomfortable, instantly bombarding Greninja.

Ash shouted quickly, "Charge out, Greninja!"

Amidst gasps of surprise, Greninja's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Without hesitation, it lowered its center of gravity, instantly accelerated, and shot out like an arrow.

Based on its previous experience fighting Milotic, although the speed and power of these beams of light have increased significantly, they still need a certain amount of time to condense.

With Ash's vision assisting him, his current speed is enough to dodge!

It's just unknown whether that enormous serpent formed from water has any other abilities.

Amidst the shocked expressions of countless spectators, eight beams of light instantly struck the field, unleashing a terrifying explosion that completely engulfed Greninja's figure.

Compared to Yeezy's stunning Heaven-Opening Sword, Milotic's attacks are more unpretentious, yet possess an overwhelming visual impact and oppressive force.

Many people are worried about the condition of Greninja.

Could it really escape the barrage of those intense beams of light?

The answer is yes.

Someone with sharp eyes pointed to one side and shouted, "Look over there!"

The Greninja, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, paid no heed to the roar and explosion behind it. Its speed was so fast that it left a blur as it rushed straight toward the World Serpent that Milotic had transformed into!

Seeing that Greninja had escaped the crisis, the viewers felt it was a pity.

That Milotic must have expended a lot of effort and energy to muster such a powerful attack.

Greninja actually dodged it! What a huge loss!

Before everyone could even sigh in regret, what happened the next second almost made their eyes pop out!

After missing its target with a salvo, Milotic showed no sign of stopping, immediately replenishing the slightly dim orb with energy, and shortly after, launched a second attack.

Fortunately, Greninja had already raised its guard and accelerated again, dodging this volley of fire once more.

Milos remained unmoved.

After all, it is a pseudo-source fluctuation, and the enormous energy needs to be compressed over time.

When facing an opponent like Greninja with maxed-out agility, it's easy to end up with poor aiming, which is unavoidable.

It's just a beautiful and charming Milotic, not some sharpshooter.

Besides, when it defeated Greninja in its normal state, it didn't rely on accuracy, but on trading blows and overwhelming firepower!

It's perfectly normal for Greninja with its Bonded Evolution to be able to dodge the pseudo-Root Pulse's barrage.

Milotic had already undergone its second upgrade, constructing the Water Dust Serpent—wasn't it all for this moment?

The third round, the fourth round, the fifth round... Under the utterly dejected expressions of many trainers, Milotic's energy was being squandered as if it were free, to the extent that an ordinary Pokémon would be completely drained.

However, Greninja narrowly avoided all of this with its ninja-like agility.

Greninja felt that it had gradually mastered the knack and was able to predict the landing point of those beams in advance.

If things continue like this, there's a chance!

Looking at the giant water serpent body that was not far away, Greninja decided to charge forward in one go and then rely on its experience of fighting against the giant tree roots that covered Kalos for so long to attack Milotic's main body in one go!

Greninja is just about to make its final sprint.

but.

In its peripheral vision, the dazzling light almost encompassed the entire field of vision!

Through Xiaozhi's perspective, it subconsciously counted.

1...2......8...9......16！？

Why are there as many as sixteen orbs of light?!

Greninja's pupils contracted, and it instinctively picked up the huge water shuriken on its back and threw it into the sky, while simultaneously searching for an opening to dodge this volley of fire.

Can--

The doubled beam of light perfectly filled all the previous gaps. Even though the giant water shuriken negated most of the power, and the toad managed to dodge the remaining beams with its agility, two or three beams still landed near the unavoidable Greninja, causing a violent explosion that blasted it away.

Fortunately, Greninja was lucky; the explosion shortened the final distance.

"Kuga—"

Greninja, sent flying, groaned, swallowing the metallic taste in its throat. Together with Ash, it endured the stinging pain on its body, looking at the World Serpent's body, which was now almost within reach. Its eyes gleamed with determination as it formed hand seals.

"Maximum power, blizzard!"

Ash did the same thing and shouted loudly.

In an instant.

A terrifying torrent of ice roared forth, freezing the body of the Mortal Serpent from bottom to top.

That's the downside of a body made of water; it's easily frozen solid.

Water and ice are inseparable, and the environment of the pseudo-primordial sea actually added fuel to the fire of Greninja's blizzard.

Having completed the release of sixteen pseudo-source fluctuations, Milotic no longer cared whether the Water Dust Serpent was frozen.

It autonomously disperses the other unfrozen water streams, completes the release of Continuous Dragon Dance in mid-air, and instantly descends from the sky, dragging the tail that is wrapped around the water streams, lashing at Greninja, which is releasing a blizzard, like a whip.

Greninja!

Ash noticed this and immediately sensed something was wrong, so he quickly warned Greninja loudly.

Greninja, which shares his senses, naturally reacted in the same way, stopping the release of Blizzard and hastily drawing out the giant Water Shuriken that had been reloaded from its back, blocking the Water Tail at the last second.

The water splashed everywhere, but the Greninja didn't relax at all.

It knew that the next one was coming!

Without giving Greninja a chance to catch its breath, eight beams of light condensed behind Milotic and shot out at once!

Greninja quickly used the Substitute technique it had learned while cutting down trees, dodging Milotic's barrage once again. It then drew a giant Water Shuriken and slammed it into Milotic's snake body!

Moreover, the location was precisely at the seven-inch mark.

The water light burst forth again, and Milotic, who had been hit, groaned as it felt excruciating pain.

"The alluring voice!"

Milotic's high-pitched voice transformed into visible sound waves of energy, mixed with numerous notes formed from Fairy-type energy, which directly struck Greninja's chest before it could dodge, with remarkable effect!

The sword wound on Greninja's chest, left by Yeev, cracked open again, and its aura weakened once more.

Taking a few steps back, Greninja with a solemn expression watched as water vapor continuously seeped out, repairing its wounds and surrounding Milotic in a ring of water.

It knew that if the protracted tug-of-war continued, it would become even more disadvantaged without any means of recovery.

We have to give it our all!

Only by severely damaging Milotic first can they have a glimmer of hope.

Ash sensed Greninja's resolute intention and understood that Greninja was about to use that move.

Just as he was about to get into the mood and speak, he noticed that Su Hao suddenly raised his hand, and a red beam pierced through the rain and landed on Milotic.

Ash: "!!!"

Su Hao revealed the Dynamax Band hidden beneath his sleeve. He smiled slightly as he watched the Dynamax Band emit rainbow light and cause the Poké Ball to expand.

"This is the first time we've used it in an official competition."

Milotic, Gigantamax!

Amidst gasps of surprise, Su Hao threw out the Max Poké Ball. In an instant, dark red clouds once again enveloped the sky. It was no longer the Water Serpent, a mecha, but Milotic, whose figure suddenly expanded dozens of times, descended upon the Palace Arena as spacetime began to distort!

"Mega Water Flow—"

If he were to hold back, it would be a betrayal of Xiao Zhi's unwavering resolve. Su Hao launched a fierce attack.

The water vapor in the air seemed to freeze in mid-air, and like a river flowing backward, it all gathered around Milotic.

The water vapor transformed into three enormous orbs of light arranged in a triangle, aimed directly at Greninja!

An unprecedented sense of crisis washed over him. Ash's pupils widened, his emotions were fully mobilized, and he shouted without hesitation, "Greninja!"

Greninja's heart pounded wildly at an unprecedented speed, and he felt his entire body, including his hands holding the giant flying water shuriken, begin to burn.

The red patterns on Greninja's head shone brightly, and the giant water shuriken in its hand was gradually tinged with gold.

"Cool!"

Greninja roared and raised the giant water shuriken above its head. A water tornado shot into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the giant golden water shuriken hovered above Greninja's head, radiating terrifying energy that caused the surrounding space to fluctuate.

Meanwhile, the Max Milotic, having evolved from a pseudo-source wave and been imbued with Max energy, and having been forcibly bound by Milotic, had completed the accumulation and compression of the Max Water Stream, which then poured out as three incredibly thick beams of light in the form of a pseudo-source wave!

At the same time, Greninja released its giant golden Water Shuriken, which embodied its and Ash's beliefs, from its head. Spinning at high speed, its sharp edges, composed of energy, were enough to cut through the rain and collide with the Max Water Stream!

Om-!

A tremendous buzzing sound emanated from the point where the two attacks intersected. As a move that had defeated Mega Gardevoir and was further enhanced by the pseudo-Origin Sea, the Giant Golden Water Shuriken was now unstoppable. For a moment, it was able to fight Milotic's Dynamax Aqua, which was not holding back at all, to a standstill.

But soon, compared to Milotic, which controlled this area and continuously injected energy into the Dynamax, Greninja's slightly inferior energy reserves became infinitely magnified at this moment.

The three additional triangular clusters of light that Milotic spent time gathering became the final straw that broke Greninja's back.

The second giant water jet was released, piercing through the massive golden water shuriken, which then exploded into countless rays of light.

Greninja, unable to escape, was completely overwhelmed by this overwhelming firepower.

......

A few minutes later.

Inside the battlefield.

The rain poured down, and the arena was silent.
