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

"Pikachu, Pikachu!!!"

Pikachu's eyes were filled with determination, as if it didn't care if it drained all its electricity.

Lightning surged around Pikachu, thunder roared incessantly, and countless lightning snakes danced wildly in mid-air before finally condensing into a violent bolt of lightning that plummeted downwards.

"Dawn breaks!"

Su Hao pointed to the sky, his black hair swaying in the wind, his golden eyes shining brightly.

Diancie ascended into the sky, and in an instant, the power of her entire radiant aura condensed into a single point, transforming into a lightsaber that was countless times more terrifying than a burst of photons. Under Diancie's control, it directly met the attack head-on.

boom--!!!!

In that instant, the world before everyone's eyes suddenly turned white, and amidst the terrifying explosion, many spectators were forced to cover their ears to avoid ruptured eardrums.

Even with the overloaded energy barrier in between and the Shield Sword Monsters unleashing their King's Shields simultaneously, the frantic vibrations of the air, the constant shaking of the ground, and the swaying of their seats made them feel as if they were in the midst of the apocalypse.

A hundred thousand volts forged by friendship.

The dawn that illuminates the long night.

now.

The power of both moves has already reached the master level, and it continues to rise over time.

The energy barrier of the palace arena trembled continuously, and shockwaves crashed against it like waves, instantly covering it with spiderweb-like cracks.

The people responsible for maintaining the energy barrier backstage were almost frantic with work, and the person in charge even felt that he might have to turn himself in after the competition ended.

But in a moment, a blue light shone, and to the astonishment of these people, an unknown energy source from the outside world forcibly intervened, directly repairing the crumbling energy barrier and even completely resisting the aftershocks!

"This is--"

In their shocked pupils, the image of the statue that the site maintenance team next door had worked overnight to create came into view.

The loud roar lasted for a full five minutes.

Once everything had calmed down, everyone was finally able to open their eyes and look towards the battlefield.

Amidst the ruins, Diancie and Pikachu stand silently facing each other.

Even though Pikachu's final Friendship Thunderbolt was powerful enough to rival Dawn Break, both sides were still caught in the aftershocks.

They all inevitably bear many scars, Pikachu is no exception, and Diancie is no different.

Pikachu, whose body was burdened with countless injuries and driven solely by "willpower" and "belief," swayed, and the last bit of strength it had been holding onto dissipated, causing it to collapse onto the field with a thud.

Everyone watched it intently, hoping that something like what had just happened would occur.

but--

Miracles only happen once.

The referee, riding Aegislash, approached Pikachu, carefully observed it for a full minute, then regretfully raised his flag and announced, "Pikachu, unable to battle—"

At the same time.

"Roar--!!!"

Above the Palace Arena, the Ultimate Cave suddenly opened, and a figure radiating light burst forth, its powerful and majestic lion's roar echoing through the sky.

Chapter 1204 God War

At this moment, inside the Palace Arena, many people were still immersed in the sadness of Pikachu's fall.

The greatest suffering in the world is breaking through one's own limitations, yet still falling just a few steps short of success.

Ash also walked onto the battlefield, picked up Pikachu, handed it to Nurse Joy who was with him for treatment, and tightly gripped the last Poké Ball, his eyes filled with a desperate determination.

Su Hao also retrieved Diancie and slowly used the power of Eternal to heal it.

The power of the 100,000 volts of friendship was truly unexpected.

It's hard to imagine that Pikachu unleashed such a powerful attack without relying on any battle system, solely through the bond between itself, Ash, and its partners.

In this respect, Su Hao admired them greatly, but at the same time felt somewhat ashamed.

If it were me, I could only rely on hard work and perseverance, plus a little bit of luck, and multiple factors combined to fight against it.

Even though Pikachu didn't defeat Diancie, Su Hao decided to summon Reshiram to show Ash his sixth Pokémon.

Inside the lounge.

The champions had complex expressions, but they cheered for Su Hao, Xiao Zhi, Diancie, and Pikachu in their hearts.

In their view, the previous battle was already the peak, and no matter how exciting the next one was, it would not be able to break through the threshold.

But just as everyone's emotions were cooling down, a majestic lion's roar that resounded through the sky made them all look up at the heavens.

Ash's group of friends and family.

Barnett, Dr. Kukui's wife standing beside him, narrowed her eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, "The Ultimate Hole!?"

How could an Ultimate Cave appear in the Galar region?

But then, that radiant figure landed on the wrecked battlefield.

Only then did everyone see its appearance clearly.

It was a Pokémon that resembled a lion and had white fur all over its body.

The four golden spikes on its head resemble a crown, parting the large tufts of mane that are shaped like the sun. The deep blue area on the upper half of its face displays ever-changing constellations, making it look incredibly magical.

Majestic, powerful, and dazzling.

This is everyone's first impression upon seeing it.

Ash stared in surprise at the Pokémon that had fallen in front of him, and carefully reached out to stroke its mane.

"Solgaleo... what brings you here?"

Solgaleo let out a thunderous roar, gently nuzzled Ash's cheek, and then looked at the backpack on the ground beside Ash.

It wasn't until Ash took out the shimmering Solgaleo Z that he understood.

It turns out that Solgaleo came for him.

"Do you want to fight for me?"

Xiao Zhi asked.

Solgaleo nodded slightly, turned and walked to the battlefield, expressing his thoughts through his actions.

It is Ash's Pokémon, it has been since the moment we met, no matter which world it is in.

The host, seemingly having also received an urgent document, said in a trembling voice, "It's Solgaleo!"

"Since ancient times, it has been revered as a messenger of the sun, and the ancients even called it the 'Beast That Devours the Sun' with awe. It is a legendary Pokémon of the Alola region!!!"

The legendary Pokémon!

These words were like a depth charge, leaving everyone stunned and bewildered.

First Mewtwo, then Solgaleo—legendary Pokémon that most people might never even see in their lifetime are now flocking together to battle for their trainers.

As expected of a player who broke into the top eight.

However, what's even more impressive is yet to come.

Solgaleo suddenly appeared...?

Su Hao raised an eyebrow, and the data of the Pokémon appeared before his eyes.

As expected, it is a first-class legendary level.

Compared to Lunala of Sion in the Ultimate Metropolis, who claims to be the strongest Beast Tamer, Solgaleo, who has fully received the power of the Sun Wheel Altar and completed its transformation, is the true legendary Pokémon.

Solgaleo was adopted by Ash during his Cosmog days, and they lived and ate together, developing a very deep friendship.

Although we don't know why it suddenly entered the arena, it wasn't entirely without a trace.

Thinking of this, Su Hao shook his head and opened his palm under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, a cluster of blue flames ignited.

His voice rang out as well.

"It's your turn, Reshiram."

The flames expanded rapidly, transforming into a fireball radiating intense heat.

First, a pair of pure white wings unfurled the fireball, followed by a dragon's head resembling a white wolf, and then a dragon's body that embodied the combination of strength and beauty.

Rahiram made an elegant entrance amidst a shower of sparks.

The moment Ash saw Reshiram, Solgaleo in front of him became alert and let out a low growl.

I thought it would be a match where I would easily defeat a weak opponent, but it turned out to be a battle between players of the same level.

Thankfully, I made it in time.

Solgaleo glanced at Ash beside him, his eyes filled with relief.

Ash quickly adjusted his mindset and prepared to fight alongside Solgaleo against Suho and Reshiram.

.......

"Finally, the final moment of the eight masters elimination tournament has arrived."

"Ash has one Pokémon left, the legendary Pokémon Solgaleo."

"They will face off against Su Hao and Reshiram, the True Dragon of the Unova region!"

After the host's introduction, the referee waved the flag down.

"Both sides, the battle begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee, riding his Shielded Swordsman, instantly retreated behind the energy barrier.

Even so, this still couldn't give him enough sense of security.

Judging from Mewtwo's performance yesterday, it's no different from a paper doll when facing attacks from legendary Pokémon.
