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

Some people stared wide-eyed and murmured, "That's not just a flash of lightning, I'd believe it if you said it was lightning fast."

Diancie winced slightly, her body swaying as she looked in surprise at Pikachu, which had crashed into her and was now spinning and flying into the air due to the recoil.

The speed was so fast that even it couldn't react.

"Iron Tail!"

Xiao Zhi waved his hand without hesitation.

"Pickup!"

Using the momentum of the spin, Pikachu's tail gleamed with a metallic sheen and lashed out with the force of a "giant tail"!

"Magic Flash".

A burst of intense light erupted from the center of Diancie.

Pikachu, caught off guard, instinctively closed its eyes.

At that very moment, Diancie, enveloped in a dazzling light shield, crashed directly into Pikachu, sending it crashing into the arena!

Amidst a cloud of dust, Diancie withdrew, conjuring her scepter, and a phantom moonlight instantly appeared above her head.

"The power of the moon".

At the top of the scepter, fairy energy transformed into a pink energy sphere, which, under Diancie's control, was precisely shot towards Pikachu's location in the smoke and dust.

"Hang in there, Pikachu!"

Xiao Zhi shouted and gave an urgent command.

"Electric Ball!"

Within the enormous crater, Pikachu struggled to its feet, a deep ball of electricity coalescing at its tail. This collided with the moon's power that pierced through the smoke and dust, triggering another widespread explosion.

Because of the close proximity, Pikachu was once again knocked away by the explosion of the attack collision.

"Diamond Storm".

Before Pikachu could adjust its posture, countless tiny diamonds, like a sky full of stars, swept in like a storm.

"Electric grid!"

This time, Ash used Pikachu's electric net, which is good for both offense and defense and can be controlled, to trap the diamonds. It worked, but it wasn't a complete success.

The diamond storm was trapped in a net woven from lightning and could not escape for the time being.

Diancie simply unleashed a burst of light, erasing the diamond storm and its electric grid, which had lost its control. She then approached Pikachu, her scepter transforming back into a diamond sword, which she then swept out.

In haste, Pikachu twisted its body and used its Iron Tail to catch the attack, followed by a burst of photons released through the tip of the sword.

Ash was immediately startled, his face showing disbelief.

So it turns out that only the scepter can unleash this move!?

"Pikachu, get out of the way!"

He could only hope that Pikachu could dodge the sudden attack.

But at this moment, the Crystal Crown on Diancie's head emitted illusory fluctuations, and an invisible spiritual force surged out, transforming into a cage that firmly trapped Pikachu's movements.

Pikachu could only watch helplessly as the surge of photons engulfed it, triggering a terrifying explosion.

"Pikachu!!"

Ash's eyes widened, and he shouted in concern.

"Pikachu didn't have time to dodge and was directly grabbed by Psychic. Diancie's attack hit!!"

The host's surprised voice rang out.

In the audience, many people stood up in shock, staring intently at the center of the smoke, wanting to know how Pikachu was doing.

Did they manage to withstand it, or... did they lose their ability to fight?

As the smoke cleared, Pikachu's tiny figure was revealed.

Its body was covered in wounds, but thanks to the physique of a champion-level Pokémon, it withstood a massive amount of damage from the photon burst.

But in contrast, its body is now swaying, it is panting heavily, and its vision is beginning to blur.

"Pee...pee...pee...pee—"

Pikachu seemed to hear Ash's worried shouts, but it had no time or strength to pay attention or respond.

In short, its strength was already at its limit; even a slight breeze could completely destroy it.

Diancie silently pointed the tip of her scepter at Pikachu.

"Wait a moment."

Su Hao raised his hand to stop it. Like countless other viewers around the world, he also watched Pikachu's figure, as if waiting for something.

At a certain moment.

Pikachu finally succumbed to the overwhelming fatigue, swayed, and collapsed onto the ravaged battlefield with a thud.

The entire palace arena fell silent.

Chapter 1203 Glory and Friendship

Among her family and friends, Serena clenched her hands, closed her eyes, and prayed silently.

"Ash, Pikachu..."

In the instant it fell, Pikachu vaguely heard Ash's voice calling out in its hazy consciousness.

Its heart was filled with resentment and guilt; it had let its companions down.

"So cute, isn't this the best?"

"Pikachu, nice to meet you!"

Time flies backward.

The scene of that day, buried deep in my memory, feels as if I were there.

In the dark world, Pikachu subconsciously releases electricity.

And this current illuminated its gradually dimming vision.

"Dane dane!"

"JeniJeni!"

"Roar!"

Opening its eyes, Pikachu was surprised to find itself in a wondrous, pure white space.

At this moment, it seemed to meet the consciousness of all its partners from the beginning to the present.

Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar —

All the companions gathered here at this moment, even though they were separated by half a planet or the entire world.

They all looked at Pikachu with trust, offering their blessings in their own way.

Meanwhile, in the Ultimate Cave passage leading to an unknown destination, the avatar of the Sun Wheel paused its running, then accelerated again.

In the pure white space, Ash slowly walked towards Pikachu, revealing a warm smile, and encouraged it:

"Yes, Pikachu."

"We have everyone by our side!"

Pikachu paused, its bright black eyes gleaming slightly. At that moment, it could clearly sense the weight, bonds, and friendship that had accumulated since the start of its journey.

"Pikachu—"

The overwhelming fatigue seemed insignificant in the face of this power.

Pikachu struggled to its feet and unleashed a devastating burst of lightning.

boom--!

Golden lightning shot straight into the sky, and Pikachu's vision began to expand, eventually returning to the Palace Arena.

To all the viewers outside, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Pikachu falls, gets up, and then unleashes a dazzling burst of lightning—that's all.

The air blasts spread out and slammed against the energy barrier.

Su Hao remained motionless, gazing at Pikachu bathed in the faintly glowing lightning, his smile widening.

In his mind, Rashiram warned, "Su Hao, this power is very unusual. You must be careful."

"I see."

He showed off the Z-band on his right wrist, touched it lightly, and his voice was filled with obvious joy.

"This is the real you I know."

"Let's have a showdown!"

The Diancie Z emblem embedded on the Z bracelet radiates dazzling brilliance.

"Pikachu!"

"This strike is a gamble with everything we have!"

Xiao Zhi gripped the brim of his hat and turned around.

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

Around the responding Pikachu, countless electric currents, tinged with iridescent light, surged as if guarding a king.

Every now and then, there are flashes of dark, deep electricity, like cracks in spacetime.

At this moment, Pikachu, Ash, and all their partners' emotions merged into one, transforming into an unprecedented power that supported the continuous transformation of the electricity.

"100,000 Volts!"

Xiao Zhi clenched his fists and said firmly.
