In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Satoshi has now lost five Pokémon, while Bakura has lost Tyranitar, Dragapult, and Aggron.

Suicune and Lugia are both in good condition, and Bakura also has a Pokémon that hasn't appeared at all.

In terms of sheer chances of winning, intelligence is practically zero.

……

"This is a very strong Greninja. Well then, it will be your opponent from now on."

Bakura recalled Aggron, then thought for a moment, took out a Poké Ball and smiled at Ash.

"Prepare for battle, Latios!"

Bakura threw the Poké Ball, a flash of white light, and a Pokémon resembling a jet engine flew at high speed into the sky, performed a graceful spin and dive, and finally came to a steady stop in front of Bakura.

It was none other than the legendary infinite Pokémon—Latios!

"Latios..."

As he gazed at the rather familiar Pokémon, Satoshi's expression darkened.

This is Bakura's sixth Pokémon, and the pressure on this Latios is extremely heavy.

This wasn't his first encounter with Latios, nor was it his first battle against him; it happened at the Sinnoh Lily of the Valley tournament.

He defeated his formidable rival, Shinji, and then faced the legendary trainer Darkrai. In the end, although Pikachu and Latios perished together, he also fell in the semifinals!

The Latios before them was clearly far stronger than Darkrai from Darkrai.

"This is a Pokémon that I 'captured' at the beginning of last year. It's also one of my favorite Pokémon. Now it will be your final opponent."

"As a sign of respect, we will do our best."

Bakura lowered his head and smiled faintly. Latios could now be considered his old comrade, even though Latios had only fought for him a handful of times.

Back at the Suzuran Tournament, Darko used Latios to end the little idiot's dream of becoming the Suzuran champion. Today, in this Manaro Arena, which is different from the Suzuran Arena...

"Latios".

Thinking of this, Bakura's smile deepened, and he softly called out to Latios.

"Woo~"

Latios instantly understood Bakura's meaning, raised its head and let out a melodious cry, a dazzling light of evolution enveloping Latios.

After a brief flash of light, the Mega Evolved Latios came into everyone's view.

The legendary super evolution!

wisdom:"……"

It really does undergo mega-evolution.

Zhi Shen took a breath, looked at the Mega Latios opposite him, and unconsciously clenched his fists.

Latios!

History always repeats itself in surprising ways...

No wonder!

I won't fall for the same elf twice!

Remembering the bitterness of his defeat at the Lily of the Valley Tournament, Satoshi's eyes darkened. No matter what, he would never lose to Latios again!

That was the only championship he ever truly wanted to win! He even used his former veteran players, but it was that damned beastman!

What Satoshi didn't know was that Bakura's Latios was indeed stolen from Darkor...

Chapter 621 The Decisive Battle: The Golden Water Shuriken (Seeking Full Subscription)

"A Mega Evolution of Latios is quite an unexpected surprise."

Meanwhile, in the audience, Yukinari Ōki looked at Mega Latios with a mixture of surprise and delight.

As a legendary Pokémon with infinite evolution, its Mega Evolution was naturally a pleasant surprise for Professor Yukinari Oak, who was also a Pokémon expert.

"This Latios is very strong. For Zhi, this battle will probably not be easy."

Xiao Gang carefully observed the Latios, then glanced at Greninja and whispered.

Although his trainer level is far inferior to Bakura and Satoshi, his judgment has always been excellent.

Moreover, the aura emanating from Mega Latios at this moment was extremely powerful.

……

"Zhi, you should still have some power left unused, right? Come on, show it to me."

Bakura stood with his hands in his pockets, smiling as he looked at Satoshi.

If we can't have a head-on showdown with the frog, then this all-out battle will ultimately be incomplete, won't it?

"Ah, of course."

Zhi's eyes narrowed, his expression a mixture of pressure and excitement.

"We won't give up so easily. Let's fight with all our might to win this battle!"

A brilliant light ignited in Zhi's eyes, his right arm was raised high, and his resounding call was awe-inspiring.

Greninja!

“Kuga!”

Almost in perfect sync with Zhi's movements, Greninja also raised its right arm high, and a mysterious energy instantly enveloped Greninja's entire body, transforming into a giant water tornado!

Bond Evolution!

Bakura licked his lips and squinted slightly as he stared at the constantly spinning waterspout in front of him.

"What...is this?"

Meanwhile, the audience watched in astonishment as the changes occurred to Greninja.

Mega-evolution?

However, Ming had already used Mega Evolution once before "543", and Mega Evolution requires the Trainer's Key Stone and the Mega Stone on the Pokémon to interact.

But Greninja clearly doesn't have any Mega Stones.

At that moment, the waterspout shattered, and the broken water flow flew behind Greninja, transforming into a giant water shuriken.

Ash's Greninja!

Its appearance is basically the same as the normal form, but red patterns have appeared on its head, and the hairstyle on both sides of its head is almost identical to that of Zhi. It carries a water shuriken on its back.

Its aura was also more sharp and cold, and its power was stronger than before.

"An alternative form of super evolution? As expected of you, Zhi, you can even do something like this."

Bakura carefully examined the brand-new Greninja, then praised it to Satoshi.

It's truly remarkable that they can evolve by resonating with each other through their bond with Greninja. This is something that not everyone can do.

Although Greninja's ability is Bond Phenomenon, if a Greninja with this ability is given to another trainer, will it really be able to undergo Bond Phenomenon Evolution?

This is a matter of opinion.

After all, the real world and the game are different. In the game, Greninja, which has the Bond Phenomenon, can transform into Ash's Greninja form by defeating a Pokémon.

In reality, it's not that easy at all.

"This is the power that comes from my friendship with Greninja, Bakura, we won't lose to you so easily!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi wiped his nose and declared to Bakura with great enthusiasm.

Yes, even if he was in dire straits, he wouldn't lose to Bakura so easily!

"I see. Then let me see what you call power."

Bakura chuckled and launched the first attack without hesitation.

"Latios, dive and close in!"

"Woo~"

Latios let out a loud cry, and its streamlined body moved instantly, rushing towards Greninja at lightning speed.

"So fast!"

Mei exclaimed in surprise; Latios' speed was also extremely fast!

From extreme stillness to extreme motion, with almost no delay in reaction, the Mega Evolution Latios is also frighteningly agile.

"Watch out, Greninja!"

Satoshi's gaze was fixed on Latios, while Greninja also lowered its body slightly, its lean body full of explosive power, ready to pounce.

"Dragon Pulse!"

Almost instantly, a swift gust of wind blew by, and Latios had already arrived behind Greninja.

A rich, bluish-green energy accumulated in its mouth, and a Dragon Pulse tore through the air, fiercely attacking Greninja.

Greninja's type is Water and Dark, and it remains so after Bond Phenomenon, a fact that Bakura naturally wouldn't overlook.

"One-Word Slash!"

Zhi waved his arm and shouted at Greninja.

Greninja swung its arms, each hand holding a white blade, and crouched down to deliver a horizontal slash in front of it.

The incoming azure dragon light was completely blocked and severed by the One-Word Slash!

"Water Shuriken!"

Having severed the Dragon Pulse, Greninja took the giant Water Shuriken from its back and plunged it heavily into the ground.

The already shattered battlefield trembled violently, and a deep fissure was cleaved out by the water shuriken.

A powerful jet of water gushed out from the crevice and shot toward the floating Latios.
