What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

The enthusiastic cheers of the fans echoed in the stands, and Xiao Zhi looked back with a sunny disposition.

His sunny smile shone brightly around him as he looked warmly at those who supported him.

At the same time, he was in a state of full combat focus, with his mind completely filled with the image of A-Du.

Under the spotlight, Ash and Lance stepped onto the highest-level battle stage and looked at each other.

At this moment, the noise in the arena seemed to stop, and all eyes were focused on the two of them, waiting for the start of this ultimate showdown.

"You've finally arrived, Ash! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"

"Come on! Ash, the hero of Kanto! I will defeat you with all my might! If you want to prove you are the strongest in Kanto, then defeat me!"

Ahead, Lance's voice came clearly. He raised his hand and steadily displayed his Poké Ball in front of everyone.

"Of course! I will defeat Mr. Lance, prove that I and my Pokémon are the strongest in Kanto, and then defeat more trainers, meet more Pokémon, and become a Pokémon Master!"

Seeing this, Ash calmly raised his hand, and his Poké Ball appeared in everyone's sight.

It's been a long time since we last met. Mr. Watari is very strong, so let's show them the power of our bonds!

Ash's burning heart began to stir, and his eyes shone with unwavering determination.

"Koga Ninja, the decision is yours!"

“kouga!”

1065 A Water and Evil Extravaganza! Greninja vs. Gyarados!

Greninja, a Pokémon that appears and disappears like a ninja and takes the form of a two-legged frog, here I come!

How long has it been since the last battle? Ash's long-held memories of the past year were finally fulfilled here.

“kouga!”

Greninja turned around, its gaze focused and full of emotion as it stared at Ash, then nodded gently to him.

That year, it didn't just sit idly by in the backyard. It would contact Ash from time to time, asking for various ways to become stronger, and battle against all sorts of Pokémon in the backyard. It became so powerful that the Pokémon in the backyard were no match for it.

But Greninja still feels happiest when it's with Ash.

Encountering countless Pokémon and battling against all sorts of trainers—that's what Greninja wants to do!

"It's been a long time, Greninja! Let's give Lance a good thrashing!"

Seeing this, Ash's face immediately lit up with a big smile. He nodded back at Greninja, making the surrounding audience feel the deep affection between them.

“kouga~!”

Upon hearing Ash's words, Greninja turned around in perfect unison, its entire body instantly erupting with a powerful aura, like an invisible wave of power that shocked everyone present.

"Awoo~" Lucario in the audience trembled involuntarily. It could deeply feel Greninja's awe-inspiring power and the increasingly close aura synchronization between itself and Ash. This seamless cooperation even made Lucario feel ashamed of itself.

A strong desire welled up in Lucario's heart; it longed to join the battle, to compete with Greninja, and to see if its strength was enough to fight it.

Unfortunately, it didn't have the chance today because yesterday's fierce battle with Metagross had exhausted its strength.

Narrator: "Greninja, what an awe-inspiring presence! Its spreading energy field seems to be enveloping the entire arena!"

"The first one is a Water/Dark Greninja? Then I'll leave Gyarados to you!"

A-Du, on the other hand, found the battle quite interesting.

Since Ash didn't consider type, he won't consider type when battling Ash either.

Both sides wanted a satisfying match, so there were no other factors involved.

"Roar!" A ferocious red Gyarados suddenly appeared, its eyes revealing a wild light, its whole body exuding an unparalleled aura, and it could shake the earth with a slight swipe of its tail.

Commentator: "Ace vs. Ace! The very first battle is the highest level! Greninja vs. Gyarados!!"

Lance's ace dragons are Dragonite and Gyarados, which only won second place in the previous Master Eight competition.

For some reason, Dragonite always seems to falter in the tournaments of the eight masters, so Lance has drastically improved Gyarados's strength, and now Gyarados is in no way weaker than his Dragonite.

Dragonite has already been recognized as a meta trap in tournaments featuring eight Masters!

There isn't a single usable one!

Ash's ace is Pikachu, Greninja, and Lucario.

So it was indeed correct to start with ace vs ace.

"When I battled him, it was far more than Ash's full strength. This time, I want to watch the whole battle from the perspective of an audience member."

Yukina stared intently at the scene ahead, a restless feeling stirring within her.

In this battle, Ash's full strength was undeniable, and she was also able to clearly see the gap between herself and Ash.

This match is different from yesterday's; the battlefield has been expanded considerably, and even the spectator stands have been equipped with protective measures overnight.

Because the championship battles are incredibly powerful, the arena is equipped with invisible barriers to block the attacks as they surge toward the audience, preventing accidents.

It's a move similar to the King's Shield of the Aegislash.

In this championship-level all-out battle, the Kanto League is fully supporting Ash and Lance.

They were incredibly proud of the two of them.

Hehe! This is my hero, Ash Ketchum~~ Do you (in other regions) have one?!

Other regions: Are you crazy?!

"What terrifying power! Is this the full strength of your Greninja?"

Unable to contain his admiration for Ash's Greninja, Lance's eyes revealed his appreciation and respect for the Pokémon. Despite Greninja's incredibly powerful aura, Lance showed no fear or hesitation whatsoever.

"It's far from that level; it and I can become even stronger!"

Xiao Zhi was filled with fighting spirit and passion, and under these circumstances, he spoke his mind without hesitation.

"Of course, Ash, I'm going all out from the start! Gyarados, Mega Evolution!!"

Adol excitedly touched the key stone around his neck, and with this action, Gyarados's body was immediately enveloped in a dazzling light. The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually forming a huge energy vortex.

Amidst this awe-inspiring light, Gyarados felt an unprecedented power.

"Roar!" it roared excitedly, its whole body gradually enveloped in light.

As time went on, the light grew stronger, and a massive torrent swept in.

Driven by this power, Gyarados's body began to undergo astonishing changes.

His eyes revealed an unbridled ferocity that made people afraid to look him in the eye.

"Roar!!!"

It roared, releasing a powerful gust of air. This gust of air, like a storm, instantly swept across the entire area.

Instantly, the appearance of the Mega Gyarados attracted the attention of everyone present.

The primal power contained in that voice deeply shocked everyone present, causing them to tremble involuntarily.

"Mom~~"

"It's okay, don't cry."

The children were so frightened by the sudden change and the roar of Mega Gyarados that they burst into tears, and their parents quickly comforted them.

What incredible power! It could shatter mountains and rivers!

At the same time, evolving into Mega Gyarados means that it is a Water/Dark type Pokémon, just like Greninja.

However, Lance had already learned the technique of making Mega Gyarados fly in mid-air. Since regular Gyarados can fly, even if Mega Gyarados loses its type, it should still be able to fly.

"Come on, Mr. Lance!" Ash looked at the Kanto Champion with respect.

His mind was filled with the thought of defeating A-Du.

"Gyarados, fly up into the sky!"

"Roar!!" Mega Gyarados unleashed its full power in that instant. Its massive tail slammed into the ground.

boom!

The earth was shattered, and rocks were thrown up by the shockwave, creating a rain of rocks.

The moment Gyarados's tail strikes the ground, its body uses the reaction force to suddenly leap into the air.

1066 Ash's Greninja unleashed its power once again, far exceeding normal levels!

Mega Gyarados!!!

"Kouga!" At the same time, Greninja leaped rapidly across the rocks shattered by Gyarados, each leap accompanied by a crack in the rock. Its jumping speed increased rapidly, and it soon caught up with Gyarados, which was flying through the air, reaching the same height as Gyarados.

Greninja!!!

"Scale shot!"

"Roar!!" Mega Gyarados circled in the air, and countless scales suddenly rose up around its body.

Scale Shot: Launches scales to attack. Speed ​​increases but defense decreases.

These scales, following Gyarados's will, flew in from different directions, forming a rain of scales. The scales moved extremely fast, slicing through the air with a piercing shriek.

Each scale is powerful enough to shatter rock fragments, producing a crisp cracking sound.

Under the cover of the rain of scales, the surrounding rocks were smashed and scattered.

"Avoid it!"

"Kouga!" Greninja seemed unusually confident.

It sensed the scales rushing by, yet leaped swiftly across the rocks, dodging the scale attacks with astonishing agility, having already anticipated the scales' trajectory.

Scales intertwined in the air, shattering the walls of the stands below and exploding into sparks, but Greninja remained untouched.

It weaves through the rain of scales at an unimaginable speed.

"Kouga~~!" Just then, Greninja casually waved its paws.

As it moved, the air was cut, bursting forth with countless sharp air blades.

These air blades swiftly flew towards the scales, slicing them into smaller fragments. The scales, stripped of their power by the air blades, turned into shimmering powder that drifted through the air.

This is just a simple attack, not a technique!

Commentator: "Wow! That's so fast! That's Ash's Greninja! It can easily dodge even the attacks of Mega Gyarados!"

"is that a lie?"

"What's going on with that Greninja toad?!"

"That's too fast...and incredibly strong."

This scene amazed the audience.

Greninja's confidence and skill, as well as its mastery of the battle rhythm, are terrifying.

Ash pointed out that this was not Greninja's full power at all, and the bond between them was far more than that!

"Gyarados, Outrage!"

At this moment, A-Du shouted loudly, wanting to fight at close range.

Gyarados's eyes burst forth with a red light, flashing with a chilling gleam.

Its entire body began to glow with a dazzling red light, which grew brighter and brighter.

Immediately afterwards, Mega Gyarados went into a berserk state.

"Roar—!!!" It no longer hovered gracefully in the air as before, and the surrounding air seemed to become distorted and uneasy because of its rage.

The rocks in the air shattered completely, scattering fragments everywhere. The surrounding air generated a sonic boom due to the high speed, producing a deafening roar.

"Alright!"

“kou!”

At that moment, Ash and Greninja were filled with blue light.

Turn on the background music!

XY & Z!
