Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

The backyard of Oak's lab was once again illuminated by the light of various moves, as if the spectacular sight of the legendary Pokémon's descent had never happened.

Gary leaned against the fence, watching Ash and his Pokémon train enthusiastically.

His gaze swept over Ash's tightly clenched left hand, where the iridescent feather shimmered faintly through his fingers.

"Really..."

He adjusted his glasses, turned, and walked towards the research institute.

"This guy always manages to provoke some really powerful people."

In a dimension unseen by everyone, Marshadow's eyes slowly closed within Ash's shadow.

"Pikachu." (And what about me?)

Pikachu scratched its head, seemingly thinking it had nothing better to do.

Chapter 642 The Eight Masters Finals I: Blood Moon Thunder - The Battle of the False Dragon

Time flies like an arrow; a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, the World Championships have reached their final showdown.

Li Chen's journey can be described as legendary.

In the battle of the eight masters, his ultimate showdown with Iris shocked the entire Pokémon League.

Finally, the thorny vine club of the Evil Creeper and the reverse scale of the Double-Axe Dragon both shone brightly, bringing this fierce battle to a close.

Then, in the semi-finals, his duel with Yulongdu went down in history.

The epic battle between Rayquaza and Dragonite caused the live broadcast signal to be interrupted for a period of time due to energy interference.

When the black dragon god swooped down and broke through layers of dragon breath, even the dragon elders in the distant capital region trembled.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the decisive stage...

Ash's path to advancement was equally dazzling.

In the preliminary rounds, he engaged in an epic battle with Cyndaquil's Garchomp.

Lucario's Aura Missile clashes with Garchomp's Dragon Dive.

As Mega Lucario's Aura Sphere pierces through the sandstorm, the Sinnoh Champion's reign will come to an end.

The most breathtaking moment was undoubtedly the fateful duel with Dan Di.

Under the night sky of the Palace Arena, Charizard X's Mega Evolution made its appearance.

Solgaleo's Meteor Strike and Gigantamax Inferno combined to create the longest move exchange in World Championship history, lasting 13 minutes.

When the referee announced the result, the Dynamax energy throughout the Galar region fluctuated abnormally.

"finally..."

Li Chen stood at one end of the final arena, the crystal beads swirling between his fingertips.

He could clearly see Ash walking towards him from the opposite contestant's tunnel, his hand on the brim of his hat, and Pikachu leaping onto his shoulder in the same manner as it had "twenty years" ago.

Rotom drones broadcast messages that echoed through the sky:

[World Championship Finals]

【Li Chen VS Xiao Zhi】

[Battle begins!]

The roar from the audience erupted like a tsunami, but the two trainers simply smiled at each other.

At this moment, legend and heritage will finally determine the true king!

Under the spotlight of the final battle stage, Ash stood at the front of the contestants' seats, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit beneath his hat brim.

He gently patted Pikachu on the shoulder, and his clear voice echoed throughout the venue via the surround sound system:

"Mr. Li Chen!"

"It is my greatest honor to compete against a strong player like you in the World Championships!"

"Me too."

Li Chen stood at the other end of the battle arena, the Taijing Bead swirling between his fingers, creating an iridescent trail.

He nodded slightly, his voice clearly responding through the microphone:

"Why don't we...break all the restrictions?"

His gaze swept over Ash's Z-Ring and Dynamax Band on his wrist.

"Mega Evolution, Dynamax, Z-Move, Crystallize."

"How about unblocking all four systems?"

The audience erupted in cheers!

The large screen displays real-time system data held by both parties:

【Xiao Zhi】

Carlos Super Bracelet

Alora Z Bracelet

·Galarian Gauntlets

【Li Chen】

·Padi Asia Pacific Crystal Beads

Carlos Super Necklace

·Galarian Gauntlets

off the field.

The commentator's voice trembled with excitement:

"Unprecedented! This is the first time the World Championships has allowed the simultaneous use of a four-in-one system!"

Ash's lips curled into a familiar smile as he pressed down on the brim of his hat with his right hand, simultaneously touching the Key Stone:

"That's exactly what I wanted! Pikachu, I choose you!"

The moment Pikachu leaped into the center of the field, the Electric Terrain was already set up.

At the same time, six rainbow lights appeared on the Poké Ball at Li Chen's waist.

This extraordinary showdown has begun!

Li Chen's fingertip brushed across the Poké Ball belt at his waist, precisely selecting the Moon Ball.

"Since Pikachu is leading the charge..."

The sound of him throwing the Poké Ball through the air filled the air.

"Moon Bear! Let's launch the first battle of our journey!"

Amidst the rainbow light of the Poké Ball exploding in mid-air, its massive form crashed to the ground.

When the Moon Bear stands upright, its three-meter-tall body almost blocks out half of the lights in the arena.

The crescent-shaped markings on its forehead suddenly glowed with a scarlet light.

"Moon Roar—!!"

The deafening roar unleashed a tangible shockwave, causing the ground on the battlefield to crack.

Pure ground energy surged like a tide, causing the electric field where Pikachu stood to begin to distort unnaturally.

Ash's bangs were lifted by a strong wind, revealing his pupils that suddenly contracted.

"This sense of oppression..."

He instinctively pressed down on his hat.

"It's three times stronger than what I saw in the video last time!"

Ursaring took a heavy step forward, and the moment its paws sank into the ground, countless rock spikes burst forth from the earth around Pikachu!

The electric field was torn to pieces by the power of the ley lines, forcing Pikachu to perform a series of backflips to dodge.

Li Chen leaned slightly forward at the other end of the field, while the Taijing Pearl had already floated above Moon Bear's head: "Moon Bear, Taijing Transform!"

Following Li Chen's command, the dazzling Taijing energy poured down like a waterfall.

A construction hat made of countless brown crystal clusters materialized atop the Moon Bear's head, its rough, crystalline edges refracting a dazzling light.

Its body was gradually covered with thick layers of rock under the impact of energy, and every hair turned into a sharp mineral prism.

When the brilliance of the crystal reached its peak, the Moon Bear suddenly stomped on the ground.

boom!

The ground of the entire battlefield rose up in response, and countless sharp rock pillars once again swept towards Pikachu like a tidal wave.

The pure ground energy even squeezed the air into visible ripples, and the residual current in the electrical field was completely dissipated.

Pikachu hastily leaped to dodge, but Ursaring had already anticipated its trajectory.

The two crystallized giant hands slammed heavily onto the ground, and the shockwave caused Pikachu in mid-air to lose its balance.

"Pikachu, Electric Speed ​​Up!"

Ash's command sliced ​​through the air, and Pikachu's Electric Sac instantly burst forth with dazzling golden light.

Its small body nimbly flipped in the air, using the attacking stone pillar as a stepping stone, and its feet pushed off the rock surface heavily!

"Pikachu!"

Amidst the roar of the electric current bursting forth, Pikachu transformed into a golden lightning bolt, bouncing back at an astonishing speed.

Each strike on the stone pillar increases its speed by three points, eventually weaving a complex network of electric light trajectories across the field.

The Moon Bear's crystal eyes shifted slightly, only to see that the golden flash was already within reach!

boom!

Pikachu, carrying all its kinetic energy, slammed into Ursaring's chest. Although the damage was completely negated by the type difference, the impact still caused the giant bear to lean back slightly.

"Now's the time! Let's surf!"

The instant Pikachu leaps backward using the recoil force, the electricity around its body suddenly transforms into a surging torrent of water, converging into a towering wave at its feet, instantly turning the entire battlefield into a vast ocean!

The massive body of the Moon Bear was completely swallowed by the raging water, and electric currents intertwined in the waves to form a deadly electric grid.

Under the dual impact, the Taijing energy emitted a cracking sound as it could not withstand the pressure, and large chunks of crystal peeled off its body.

As the waves receded, Moon Bear knelt on one knee, its heavy breathing turning into white mist.

The crimson crescent on its chest had faded, and its crystallized fur had regained its original color.

Li Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed the Poké Ball at his waist.

"Just one strike..."

His voice carried an unusual solemnity.

"As expected of a duo known as 'battle legends'."

Pikachu landed lightly back on Ash's shoulder, the electric sparks on its tail still lingering.

Moon Bear swayed as he stood up, his eyes filled with even greater fighting spirit.

But everyone can see that it is already at its last gasp.

"The power of the earth!"

"Moon Roar!"

Moon Bear roared and slammed its palms, imbued with powerful ground-based energy, onto the ground.
