Dialga, Palkia, Giratina hadn't even reacted when suddenly, the Monferno that had just dodged its blow by turning its head was now staring it straight in the face. As it faced its opponent whose blue eyes were as vast as the sky, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina wanted to create distance, but its abdomen was struck by an agonizing pain. The Monferno had bent its legs and delivered a knee strike directly to Dialga, Palkia, Giratina's midsection, with a speed and response so quick that even the Speed Form of Dialga, Palkia, Giratina struggled to switch to Defense Mode.
What's the use of being able to change forms if you can't keep up? You're still as beatable as any ordinary Legendary Pokémon.
The gaze of the Monferno was calm.
With a "boom," a violent tremor ensued and the figure of Dialga, Palkia, Giratina was sent flying backwards into the sky.
Below, True Qi flowed within the Monferno. Its fists seemed to contain a black hole, drawing in all surrounding air currents frantically. At this moment, it unleashed eighty high-speed, ultimate power attacks, compressing the air. A terrifying air cannon formed between the True Qi and air, like a giant fist shadow multiple meters wide, moving at the extreme speed of light.
Eighty Divine Void Strikes—
As the white fist shadow moved, the space around it began to distort and seal off.
As eighty giant fist shadows assaulted it, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, still reeling from the knee strike and dominated by pain, was forced into Defense Form due to an intense sense of crisis—
And nearly all its strength was summoned to deploy the Protect Move, to utilize Self-Regeneration, to defend against this attack!!!
It wanted to escape, but the space was sealed off, making escape impossible.
"!!!!" Dialga, Palkia, Giratina's expression reached an extreme of horror.
Boom!!!
The next second, countless fist shadows engulfed Dialga, Palkia, Giratina in the sky. As the fist shadows crisscrossed and crackling sounds echoed, the distorted space began to break under the strain of the force and started to slowly heal due to the space's self-repair mechanism, leaving only the remnants of spatial fragments scattered in the air.
Within the countless shattered space fragments, like broken mirrors, the sorry state of Defense Form Dialga, Palkia, Giratina appeared before everyone's eyes. True to its reputation for Defense, in the face of this terrifying strike from the Monferno, it was still floating in the sky and rapidly healing its injuries.
But it was far from over. Seeing that Dialga, Palkia, Giratina was still holding on with Self-Regeneration, the Monferno knew it had to crush its opponent's will with one blow to secure the victory. The Monferno bent its legs again, and in this state, if not engaged in fierce battle, it could last much longer than before, not as brief as it used to be. However, to conclude the battle swiftly, the Monferno chose to drive the Power of Thunder Flame to burn the Lifeline guidance forcefully. Even the Fire of Life could barely maintain balance now.
It was burning life again!
At this moment—
As the Monferno bent its legs, the ground beneath it vanished into nothingness under an invisible force, and in an instant, Lake Island collapsed into dust with a thrust from the Monferno's legs. A terrifying hole appeared in the sea below, and the Monferno's figure was already in the sky, having moved in front of Dialga, Palkia, Giratina in the blink of an eye using its explosive power to teleport.
To be precise, it arrived beside Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, almost as if brushing past it in the sky, but the right fist of the Monferno, now channeling the full force of its overdriven power in a dazzling strike, hit Dialga, Palkia, Giratina's midsection.
This punch was named Night Monkey!
Because of this unprecedented punch, a move that overturned the common sense of martial arts, it wasn't just a simple warping of space but of time as well.
At that moment, as the fist struck Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, the sky seemed to change dramatically, darkening as if everyone had been pulled into an alternate dimension, a world belonging to the night.
The pitch-black sky and the bright night stars left everyone in silence.
It was at that instant when the terrifying temporal distortion shattered the Light Walls created by the four Kapus. The Kapus maintaining the walls were all knocked back several meters.
Fortunately, the Monferno was not all Superpower. It utterly refined its skills, mastering the perfect Eight Gates Formation, possessing the mindset of a martial arts master in combat, achieving an extraordinary level of control over its power.
"Ugh—" Precisely because of this, in the sky, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, who was rendered unconscious with white eyes from that terrifying strike, wasn't sent flying out of Earth by the final secret of the Eight Gates Formation but rather floated slightly and was then caught by the Monferno and tossed downward.
It was also due to this controlled force that the fight's energy was confined to this region.
Just like the previous Martial Arts Bear Master, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina had no power to resist and plummeted into the sea.
Accompanied by the sound of a "splash," the Monferno landed beside Fang Yuan, dispelled its enhanced state, and reverted to its normal state.
The world fell silent.
As the sky brightened again, the world remained silent.
The staggering scenes from moments ago left audiences around the globe speechless.
All of this had happened in just a few seconds.
Defeating the Martial Arts Bear Master, considered a "High Legend" in strength by the legendary Kapus, the strongest extraterrestrial life-form Dialga, Palkia, Giratina was utterly overwhelmed and defeated by an Ordinary Elf Monferno throughout the fight.
