Greninja is only level 72.

It is a full 11 levels below the Megalodon.

The higher the level, the greater the gap between each level. Even Greninja could easily defeat opponents 5 or 6 levels higher.

But now you have to defeat the Megalodon, which is 11 levels higher than you.

This is also a huge challenge for Greninja.

But Nanfeng wanted this kind of high-difficulty challenge; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Greninja out.

In Nanfeng's main lineup, Garchomp, Blaziken, and Gardevoir can all Mega Evolve, and Gyarados also has a Mega Stone. Only Greninja and Tyranitar cannot Mega Evolve.

Tyranitar cannot Mega Evolve because the Mega Stone hasn't arrived yet; there's nothing that can be done about it.

But Greninja

The intimacy level between Nanfeng and Greninja has long been maxed out.

South Wind knows what it is thinking.

Unlike Blaziken, who wants to defeat the opponent for Southwind.

Greninja's thoughts are more self-centered; it wants to defeat its opponent and enjoy the pleasure of beating it 17 times!

Especially the strong!

Ordinary opponents no longer bring it any pleasure.

However, recently, apart from Mewtwo, there has been no opponent that can put pressure on Nanfeng and Greninja. This means that even though Nanfeng knows Greninja's thoughts, he cannot find an opponent that matches its goals.

Moreover, Greninja does not evolve using Mega Stones.

It undergoes MEGA evolution through its unique ability, "Bond Transformation".

This is much harder than a regular MEGA evolution!

In order for Greninja to evolve, in addition to the connection between the trainer and the Pokémon, the desire to become stronger must be even stronger and more direct!

Choosing to fight Team Aqua first, Nanfeng was aiming for Archie, who is also proficient in Water-type Pokémon.

Opponents of the same type are more likely to ignite Greninja's desire for victory. What's so great about defeating an opponent whose type is weak against yours?

Facing a Megalodon that was 11 levels higher than itself, Nanfeng could sense that Greninja's competitive spirit had been aroused.

"Not going to attack? Well, here I come!" Seeing that Nanfeng hadn't launched an attack for a while, Shui Wutong chuckled and raised her hand to command. "Megatooth Shark, Water Breaker!"

The surface of the Megalodon immediately erupted with a torrent of water as if it were on fire, before it exploded with a deafening roar.

A gaping, blood-red maw shot through the air!

Judging from its appearance, the Megalodon doesn't look like a shark; it looks more like a shark-shaped missile!

"Use water jets to dodge, then use role-playing!" Nanfeng calmly commanded.

Greninja immediately lunged forward, lying flat on the ground to avoid the water bursts from Sharpedo. At the same time, it reached into the air and grabbed a hat made of water, putting it on its head. Greninja immediately felt lighter and could move faster.

Sharpedo's type is the same as Greninja's, both being Water/Dark. Although it's a Psychic-type move, its effect doesn't target the opponent but rather Greninja itself, so it still works.

Megalodon has only two traits, the common one being "Rough Skin".

Rough Skin: When attacked by a contact-type move, the opponent will lose 1-8 of their maximum health.

Hidden feature: "Speed ​​Up".

Speed ​​Up: Pokémon with this ability gain 1 Speed ​​Rank at the end of each turn.

Southwind's Blaziken also possesses this god-tier ability.

Both traits are excellent, so regardless of which trait Sands has, Nanfeng feels it's necessary to obtain it.

Judging from Greninja's current performance, Archie's Megalodon possesses the ability "Acceleration"!

"Is there such a trick?" Archie chuckled. His original tactic was to use the Speed ​​Boost ability to drag Greninja into a speed battle, and then defeat it with lightning speed.

Now...

Let's stick to this tactic!

Only this overwhelming sense of pressure—that you know I'll use this tactic, yet you still can't win—can truly break the opponent's mentality.

"Megatus, move at high speed!"

The megalodon turned its head mid-air and suddenly accelerated forward.

Nanfeng looked at it more and more like a shark cannonball.

"Use a substitute to dodge!"

Greninja immediately turned its head to the left, but another Greninja immediately jumped out of its body to the right.

The megalodon immediately missed its target, hovering in mid-air with no idea which one to chase.

"Flying water shuriken!"

The two Greninja frogs immediately threw out five water shuriken.

"Tide Whirl!" Shui Wutong snapped her fingers.

Instantly, the water around the Megalodon rapidly swirled and formed a whirlpool, easily engulfing the flying water shuriken.

Before the south wind could launch another attack, the water sycamore issued another order.

"Ice pick!"

Immediately, countless ice spikes, like arrows, shot out from the swirling vortex, bombarding everything around them.

"He even knows this move? And he's even turned it into a group attack move?" Nanfeng was surprised.

083 If Megalodon had only been spitting ice spikes, Nanfeng wouldn't have found it strange. But right now, Megalodon was lurking in the whirlpool, manipulating the water flow within the whirlpool to condense ice and launch it.

This requires not only extremely strong water control capabilities, but also extremely strong ice control capabilities!

"Hold on!" Nanfeng immediately commanded, as it was too late to use surfing for defense.

The two Greninja frogs immediately crossed their arms in front of their chests to form a blocking posture, and an invisible shield appeared, blocking all the ice spikes.

"Attack the Greninja on the left, Water Jet!" Archie suddenly locked onto its target and launched an attack.

The Megalodon suddenly burst through the whirlpool, its body swirling with pale blue water, and struck like lightning!

Like water jets and lightning strikes, these moves in games guarantee an immediate attack, while in reality, they represent a kind of "speed."

With the combined effects of the "acceleration" ability and the boost from high-speed movement, the already fast Megalodon reached Greninja almost instantly.

Its gaping maw opened wide, its teeth covered in frost—it was a frozen tooth strike!

(I was planning to write four updates today, but I just got back from going out tonight, and judging by the time, I probably won't make it to three. I'll just get up early tomorrow to write. I'm feeling a little better today... Keep it up!)

302. Z-Move "Black Hole Devours Everything and Annihilates"

"clang!"

The Megalodon's teeth bit into the white blade in Greninja's hand, producing a crisp, heavy metallic clang.

At the crucial moment, Greninja used Iai Slash.

However, the Megalodon possessed strength far exceeding its own, immediately forcing Greninja to retreat and crash directly into the wall.

A muffled "boom" resounded.

The Greninja frog that crashed into the wall did not disappear.

This means that Greninja, which is being attacked by Sharpedo, is not a Stand, but its real body!

Nanfeng had no idea why Shui Wutong could see through Greninja's true form and substitute at a glance.

It's important to know that even the Enchantress Gym Leader in the Johto region, who has mastered "clairvoyance," cannot distinguish between a Stand and the real body!

However, now is not the time to think about this.

Sharpedo has an extremely strong control over the Ice type. The cold air emanating from its Ice Fang has already frozen the white blade that Greninja created using "Secret Technique: Iai Slash", and it is about to spread to Greninja's arm.

Once Greninja's arms are frozen, its attacks will inevitably become slower. If its body is also frozen, then Megalodon's next attack will likely be a finishing blow!

The "vacuum wave" southerly wind immediately took command.

The instruction was given to Greninja Stand.

The Stand immediately grabbed with its right hand and unleashed a pale blue shockwave that blasted towards Megalodon.

Greninja's mastery of aura power is not yet at the level where it can use aura missiles, but it is already extremely proficient in the pre-launch "vacuum wave"!

"Water Burst!" Archie raised his hand to command, expressing curiosity that Greninja, a Dark-type Pokémon, also possessed Fighting-type moves. He had originally intended to withstand a Substitute attack and defeat Greninja.

The Megalodon immediately burst forth with pale blue water, but instead of attacking Greninja head-on, it tilted downwards to avoid the attack of the vacuum wave.

It can also attack the legs of the Greninja.

Even without freezing, the result would be the same as injuring the Greninja's leg!

"Bounce!" Nanfeng immediately gave the order.

The moment Greninja dissipated the force from the Megalodon, it instantly propelled itself into the air with a burst of power from its legs.

It avoided the water burst from the Megalodon, and also avoided the vacuum wave from its own Stand. After the Megalodon dodged, Greninja's main body became the target in a straight line along the vacuum wave!

But just when Nanfeng thought Greninja had escaped, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the ground of the battlefield.

Streams of water shot up from the ground! It was as if sharp thorns had suddenly sprouted, ready to pierce through the Greninja frog.

Seeing this, Nanfeng's eyelids twitched.

I'm still too young!

The Nash Shark used just now wasn't a water-breaking technique, but rather a "Water Pact"!

Shui Wutong, the sixth one, is deceiving himself.

Commanding the spirit to use Water Burst is actually a Water Oath!

The trainer calls out a move name, and the Pokémon uses another move to catch the opponent off guard. This is a very old-fashioned tactic.

But in the situation just now, it really worked wonders!

Fortunately, this is not a hopeless situation!

Faced with the water flowing from the ground, Greninja immediately manipulated its Stand to pounce on the spot where it would be hit, using its body to block the "knife"!

"Water jets!" Shui Wutong raised her hand to direct.

The Megalodon attacked again, its speed so fast that it appeared to Nanfeng like a streak of azure light. He was able to react, but he didn't have time to give any orders.

Over time, Megalodon's speed increased due to its "acceleration" ability.

Greninja has the Speed ​​Boost ability to keep up with Sharpedo's movements, but as a trainer, especially when in a disadvantageous situation, it's even more difficult for the trainer to provide help and guidance.

Even if I had cultivated the ability to see a thousand miles.

Furthermore, based on the current situation, Nanfeng immediately deduced that the target of Archie's Water Pledge move was not Greninja itself, but its Stand!

What he needs to do is first destroy the Stand, and then, without any other interference, use the Ice Fang to "bite" Greninja off!

Greninja had barely landed when Shark was already upon it.

Greninja reacted extremely quickly, shedding its tail to survive, sacrificing some energy to create a substitute to be devoured by Sharpedo, while it took the opportunity to return to Southwind's side.

Faced with a persistent disadvantage, it needs to end this round and rethink its next attack.

After tearing apart its Stand, Sharpedo looked at Greninja with lingering satisfaction, but did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, it returned to Archie's side.

This round of combat ended with Greninja sacrificing two Stands and sustaining injuries to its back.

On the other hand, even though Sharpedo's Speed ​​Boost ability didn't create a significant gap due to Greninja's "Playing" move, it still had the advantage of one Speed ​​Boost!

"You're a smart person. The gap between us is already quite obvious. Do you still want to continue?" Shui Wutong looked down at Nanfeng with the arrogance of a victor.

The battle was not over yet, but in his eyes it was already over.

Nanfeng did not answer; his gaze remained fixed on Greninja.

Greninja was panting, its heart pounding. The battle had exhausted it greatly, but it had also ignited its will, activating every cell in its body and filling it with fighting spirit.

"Almost there, I need some more stimulation," Nanfeng muttered to himself, reaching out to take out a Z Crystal and pressing it onto the Z Enhancement Bracelet (Qian Zhao) on his right wrist.
