Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

In fact, even the Aegislash itself doesn't know just how strong it is right now.

Because it defeated Steven's Skarmory in one strike and one Shadow Ball, which was far beyond its comprehension.

Am I... really that strong?

Without realizing it.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Daigo's Skarmory was only at the Elite Four level, and that its prized metal armor was corroded by antimatter energy, severely reducing its defensive capabilities.

Daigo didn't get an answer from Natsuhiko, and seeing that he also looked somewhat dazed, he didn't pursue the matter further.

Retrieve the Armored Bird.

This sudden change disrupted his original plans and tactical arrangements.

no way.

Steven could only take out his third Poké Ball.

At this moment, which almost determined the course of the battle, he summoned the person he trusted and relied on most.

"It's up to you, Metagross!"

"Kang Jin!"

"

A silvery-white metallic luster flashed, and within its enormous head and body, and four sharp, sturdy claws, each contained a secondary brain, much like a computer, granting Metagross an extremely powerful and precise computing ability.

The X metal logo reflects the light, and the impact of the iron fists striking each other produces a clear and crisp clang, exuding a powerful and expansive aura.

"Steven's signature Metagross has arrived! A shiny pseudo-legendary Pokémon!"

Upon seeing the third spirit that Daigo summoned, the audience immediately recovered from his two previous mishaps.

For trainers of Steven's caliber, the appearance of their ace Pokémon is meant to turn the tide of battle.

The Fairy Tree Romance

Xia Yan glanced at the imposing, shiny Metagross, then looked up slightly at the fiercely fighting Swordsman.

"Jie!"

The Shielded Sword Monster nodded confidently at Xia Yan.

Steven's Skarmory wasn't enough for it to test its true strength.

But this shiny Metagross definitely can.

Seeing this, Xia Yan smiled, his eyes sharp, and the black hair peeking out from under his hat brim swayed slightly as he said in a deep voice:

"Since you want to try, then give it a good try!"

"Jie!"

The Shielded Swordsman nodded solemnly.

The image of its own timid, fearful, and cautious self when it first met Xia Yan flashed through its mind. Facing any opponent, the cautious creature would choose to use its strongest power to deal with them.

Before we knew it, so much time had passed.

Its personality has evolved from being timid, eccentric, and irritable at times to what it is today.

Perhaps its stagnant strength is largely due to its past experiences.

Now, it finally has the courage and confidence to face Daigo's signature Metagross.

Looking at the Metagross in front of him, Steven quickly calmed down from the shock and slight panic of his Skarmory being defeated earlier.

This is his most trusted partner, and his greatest source of confidence.

"Metamorphosis, let Xia Yan see our progress."

Daigo extended his hand, adorned with a ring, and slowly touched the sparkling lapel pin at his collar.

"Kang Jin—"

Metagross's eyes turned serious, and it nodded its massive head solemnly with a firm, muffled thud.

Upon receiving Metagross's response, Steven's smile widened even more. He removed his lapel pin and lightly kissed the key stone on it.

In an instant.

The keystone burst forth with a dazzling light like a tidal wave, and rainbow light, symbolizing the bond between them, shot out from the keystone, traveled a considerable distance, and entered the body of the shiny Metagross.

"Megrezian Monster—"

Daigo raised his arm and shouted:

Mega Evolution!

! ”

A dazzling light of evolution emanated from the Shiny Metagross.

"Kang Jin!"

! ”

When the light fades.

Mega Metagross's imposing roar resounded throughout the arena, and the faint color mark of Mega Evolution slowly disappeared.

The super Metagross, with its eight arms, not only possesses enhanced computational and analytical abilities, but its four outstretched claws are also thicker, enabling it to better attack enemies, whether by tearing or clamping them.

The claws on its limbs behind it are much smaller.

However, they grant Shiny Metagross greater mobility, allowing it to huddle together and act as a booster.

This Pokémon is none other than Steven Stone's true trump card, the invincible Shiny Mega Metagross!

"Dawu's Metagross..."

Inside the private room, everyone stared in a daze at the imposing, shimmering giant golden monster.

"It's stronger now."

Du nodded slightly, his expression serious.

He pondered whether his Dragonite could withstand Steven's Mega Metagross without being able to Mega Evolve.

“I sense a deep bond,” Crimson couldn’t help but say.

"If this bond were to advance further, could it reach legendary status?"

The thought involuntarily arose in their minds.

On the field.

The battle between Aegislash and Steven's Mega Metagross is about to begin.

"Jie!"

The Shielded Sword Monster raised its longsword, which was wreathed in wisps of black silk.

The enormous, pale blue sword blade suddenly rose from the ground and slashed down directly at the massive, gleaming body of the Mega Metagross.

Holy Sword Slash!

Seeing this, Daigo's expression turned serious, his eyes flashed, and his voice was sharp as he said:

"Metamorphosis, how old is it! Comet Punch!"

"Kang Jin!"

! ”

The Mega Metagross brought its four arms together and spewed out a milky white, flame-like stream of air, propelling it forward at an incredible speed, like a rampaging fortress.

The four iron pincers in front of him burst forth with dazzling white light, like bullets, wildly swung out in a storm.

Bang! Bang! Bang—

A continuous series of sounds exploded amidst the afterimages created by the four enormous iron pincers, forming an impenetrable net of fists that completely enveloped the massive blade of the Shield Sword Monster.

Kakaka—

Then you could hear those crisp, cracking sounds.

Fine cracks appeared on the massive, pale blue "holy sword" of the Shielded Sword Monster.

As the Mega Metagross unleashed its final claw strike, the massive sword shattered into countless fragments of varying sizes, scattering across the ground.

"Jie?"

The shield-wielding swordsman was taken aback upon seeing this.

The Holy Sword was actually shattered head-on?

That's incredible explosive power!

"Kang Jin!"

"

In the instant that Aegislash was stunned, Mega Metagross, with its super-powerful jet propulsion, displayed a speed completely different from its Metagross form, and in the blink of an eye, it had already closed in on Aegislash.

Those sharp and pointed claws magnified instantly through the child's eye.

Fortunately.

Xia Yan's voice came just in time, preventing Aegislash from being caught off guard by Metagross.

"Aegislash, King's Shield!"

Clang!

The Shielded Sword Monster reacted quickly; after a clanging sound, its hard and sturdy shield had already blocked the sword.

boom!

!

A crisp and violent roar suddenly rang out.

The shield-wielding sword monster, suspended in mid-air, slammed heavily to the ground like a bullet.

Fortunately.
