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

Just like Mega Evolution and Dynamax are completely incompatible.

One power comes from Eterna in outer space, another from Xerneas and Yveltal, combined with a mysterious megalith.

On the contrary, the combination of Crystallization and Z-Moves is extremely harmonious.

The essence of Z is light, and the essence of tert-crystallization is crystal.

Light and crystals do not conflict with each other; in fact, the sum of their components can be greater than the sum of their components.

Diancie's ultimate burst essentially relies on the power of Diancie's Z Crystal, unleashing the radiant power within her body and triggering some fragments of Xerneas's hidden primal power, allowing her to leap to a higher level of life in one go. In reality, it has little to do with Mega Evolution.

At this moment, Diancie is in a state of ultimate burst + psychic power + control of the eternal earth. Her aura is extremely close to that of Cynthia's Mega Garchomp when she just completed her Mega Evolution.

Cynthia, realizing this as well, was utterly helpless.

So he had a trump card up his sleeve while fighting me? That's really...

Shinji, who was watching TV, looked grim and gritted his teeth, saying, "Now... even the weakness of the Iron Tail, which is theoretically very effective, has been overcome."

Meanwhile, on the television screen that Shinji was watching, Pikachu finally stood up straight and started running again despite the terrifying gravity.

just.

Pikachu's once proud speed and agility have become mediocre due to the suppression of gravity and Radiant Aura covering the entire area.

"A surge of photons."

Su Hao couldn't wait to try out how powerful the photon surge would become with the help of the superpower crystal.

Diancie conjured a scepter, pointed the tip at Pikachu, and a blinding white light burst forth, instantly traversing the distance and striking the battlefield beside Pikachu!

boom!

After a simple, unadorned roar, Pikachu barely managed to dodge the burst of photons by shouting "Get out of the way!" and looked at the battlefield next to him, which had been completely stripped of a layer of earth and looked bright red.

The extreme heat caused by the light melted that entire area; if it had landed on me...

"Skin!"

Pikachu quickly shook its head to clear its mind; its determination was not something that could be stopped by such a small difficulty!

"thunder!"

Ash's voice rang out.

Long!

Thunder roared in an instant, amidst the still-lingering dark clouds in the sky.

next second.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket descended from the sky, heading straight for Diancie.

Diancie, without changing her expression, unleashed another burst of light from her staff, piercing through the thunder and the dark clouds above to reveal the dazzling sun. Then, she pointed the tip of her staff at Pikachu, who had seized the opportunity to accelerate and arrive beside her in a flash of lightning.

"Iron Tail!!"

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Xiaozhi decisively gave the order.

Pikachu leaped up with all its might, and its lightning-shaped tail immediately gleamed with a metallic sheen!

call--!

Pikachu's tail lashed through the air, creating an extremely ear-piercing whistling sound, like a streak of silver light, as it lashed out at Diancie!

After crystallizing, without the fourfold weakness to Steel, Diancie can naturally withstand Iron Tail thanks to her own defensive capabilities.

But that's unnecessary and doesn't look good.

A surge of radiant power erupted, and the scepter instantly transformed into a royal diamond longsword.

Diancie, who believed she had recently honed her swordsmanship to a respectable level, gripped the hilt of her sword and unleashed a sweeping strike!

Clang!

A crisp clang rang out, and Pikachu stared in surprise at Diancie, who had blocked its Iron Tail with a sword held in one hand.

"Pikachu!?"

Where Iron Tail met the sword blade, a tremendous force struck instantly, and Pikachu cried out in alarm, flying backward uncontrollably!

Pikachu rolled around on the ground a few times to dissipate all its strength, and its smooth fur became dirty.

"The difference in strength is too great."

A-Du began his analysis with a cold expression.

Frankly speaking, judging from Pikachu's current state, it's only a matter of battling against its own Dragonite, Steven's Metagross, Cynthia's Garchomp, or Leon's Charizard.

It only deserves to be crushed.

Even when Pikachu defeated its own Dragonite in the semifinals, it was still the same.

"Pikachu's power was either suppressed by that aura or limited by the gravity that always enveloped the area."

Daigo nodded in agreement, his gaze fixed on Diancie, a hint of admiration flickering in his eyes.

"Not to mention, Diancie is in much stronger condition now than when she battled Cynthia's Mega Garchomp."

Dante drew a conclusion to the discussion.

"It all depends on whether Ash and Pikachu can find that glimmer of hope. By the way, I personally believe they can create a miracle."

......

"Pikachu... Pikachu—"

At this moment, Pikachu was panting heavily, like a dancer dancing on the edge of a knife, relying solely on 20 years of (crossed out) accumulated battle experience to do its best to dodge the slashing sword.

Using evasive maneuvers, deflecting force with its iron tail, and even rolling on the ground, it was both disheveled and indomitable, determined to continue the battle.

Pikachu's tiny, dark, and bright eyes are filled with unwavering determination.

The past is one thing, but now, right now, it absolutely cannot afford to lose!

Gradually.

Pikachu suddenly realized that the pressure of gravity on it no longer seemed so strong.

Its movements became increasingly agile, and occasionally, while dodging, it would seize an opening to launch a counterattack that, though not particularly effective, was nonetheless significant.

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

Chapter 1202 Falling Down

This is not because Diancie intentionally reduced the output of gravity.

On the contrary, it is gradually increasing the force of the gravitational field while maintaining its original output.

Even so, it couldn't stop Pikachu from rapidly adapting to the environment under gravity.

Until a certain moment.

Pikachu's listless aura suddenly surged, and a continuous stream of power suddenly filled its small body.

"Pikachu, Volt Attack!"

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, Pikachu unleashed its power wildly, transforming into a giant ball of lightning that crashed into Diancie.

As it moved, the violent current transformed into countless dancing lightning bolts, piercing the air and leaving charred marks on the ground.

Diancie conjured a reflective barrier in an attempt to offer some protection.

Surprisingly, the Reflector, which had even withstood a powerful Dragon Claw attack from a Mega Garchomp, shattered into countless fragments when Pikachu rammed into it with all its might!

Even though Diancie reacted and dodged to the side, she was still grazed by the passing lightning.

Ash and Pikachu's first successful counterattack amazed countless spectators, who erupted in genuine cheers.

Su Hao stopped Diancie from further increasing the gravity, shaking his head and saying, "It adapted to the gravity field so quickly and even used it to achieve a breakthrough. There's no point in increasing it further."

"Besides, you want to go all out and fight it head-on, so you don't need to focus on releasing gravity anymore. The pace of the battle will be faster from now on."

From the moment Pikachu advanced to the late Champion level, Su Hao knew that the next battle would be about bonds and foundation.

Upon hearing this...

Diancie simply removed the gravity field, twirled her sword beautifully, and looked solemnly at Ash and Pikachu.

"Please give me more advice."

Its voice was accurately transmitted to Ash and Pikachu's minds through telepathy.

Pikachu noticed that the gravity on its body had completely disappeared, its eyes lit up, and it jumped up happily.

Xiao Zhi paused for a second.

He saw a resemblance in Diancie to Princess Diancie, whom he had met during his adventures in the Carlos region.

Both sides were impeccably courteous.

But he quickly regained his composure and said excitedly, "You're right, the battle begins from this moment!"

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

Pikachu stood up and shouted loudly, full of fighting spirit.

A dazzling golden lightning bolt erupted from Pikachu, shooting straight into the sky.

The massive electric current continuously struck the battlefield, indicating Pikachu's current condition.

Aside from the power forcibly suppressed by the Radiant Aura, Pikachu has now entered the final state of its ability "Energy Surge"!

Among the group of friends and family, Serena, Misty, Dawn, Yao, Iris, and the other travel companions watched Ash, who was full of vigor at that moment, as if they wanted to imprint this scene deep in their hearts.

"A flash of lightning!"

Little Smart pointed forward and gave the command.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu's body flashed, as if it had transformed into a white rainbow, stirring up a terrifying shockwave that crossed the distance and crashed heavily into Diancie!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

No, they didn't blink either!
