"If you want me to give up, you're still too young!"
Mustard snorted, took out his Pokeball, recalled Urshifu, and then threw it into the air. It was already a huge Pokeball.
Dynamax.
Mustard was still using Dynamax.
John thought he was too old to use it anymore.
That's right, unlike Mega Evolution, Dynamax energy was spread all throughout the Galar Region, which put little stress on the trainer. Even though Mustard was old, he still had the power to make a Pokemon super huge.
The huge Pokeball opened, and Gigantamax Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style) appeared.
There were three red clouds above its head, its eyes were like lightning, and the black hair all over its body turned blue while it still kept its "standing on one leg" pose.
As the Pokemon Urshifu that first appeared in the Galar Region in the anime, it naturally had its own Gigantamax form. Even its Single Strike and Rapid Strike styles had different looks.
"Surging Strikes!" Mustard commanded.
Even though his body could still support Urshifu's Dynamax, the time he could keep it up was really limited.
So far, John only had one Blaziken that had lost its fighting power. If he wanted to beat three at once, he couldn't waste time.
That meant killing with every move!
The special move of Single Strike Urshifu was "Wicked Blow," and the special move of Rapid Strike Urshifu was "Surging Strikes."
In the game, Surging Strikes didn't have high power, but it had the scary ability of "definitely hitting" three attacks in a row. In reality, that meant crazy attack speed and hit rate!
The Gigantamax Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style) lowered its head slightly, locked its electric eyes, and its two arms like huge pillars were already wrapped with water flow. Its huge body bent down, and the strong scary feeling fell like the sky itself.
Facing this Gigantamax Urshifu, John didn't respond with Dynamax.
There was no need. As a native champion and legendary Pokemon trainer in the Galar Region, both Mustard and his trump card Urshifu were way better than John and Zeraora at controlling Dynamax energy.
John wouldn't do something so stupid as use his own weakness to fight the other guy's strength.
That wasn't a gap that could be filled by his stronger aura power.
John stretched out his hand forward, watched the sky fall toward Zeraora, and snapped his fingers.
"Teleport!"
The moment Surging Strikes fell, Zeraora disappeared into thin air.
BOOM!
The ground shook like crazy.
Powerful waves swept thousands of feet around them, and groups of trees were cut in half and fell down. Waves surged in the direction the power spread. Strong winds howled, the ground shook, and the beach was smashed piece by piece.
It seemed like the whole world was ending.
The situation was even worse than the clash between Single Strike Urshifu and Mega Blaziken's special moves just now.
But this was still the result of Gigantamax Urshifu holding back and controlling its power, otherwise this blow would have been enough to destroy the entire Isle of Armor.
Legendary Pokemon had the power to destroy a country or even a continent and for some the entire world. This really wasn't just talk.
Zeraora reappeared, already thousands of feet high in the sky, among endless dark clouds.
It looked tired.
Except for John, no one knew how hard it worked to avoid that blow.
Don't think Teleport was unbeatable.
Every move of Urshifu contained strong pressure. Pressure could be understood as a kind of mental power. This powerful mental power had blocked the surrounding space when Urshifu attacked.
It was incredibly hard to escape from this blockade.
To do this, Zeraora fully turned on its "Heart Network" and spread its radio wave power to the surroundings endlessly.
Finally, it locked onto an area thousands of feet away underground that hadn't been blocked by the pressure yet. It teleported there, then used Ally Switch to trade places with the dark clouds in the sky, and then escaped smoothly.
Such a set of moves almost burned out Zeraora's brain.
John looked at the sky. His aura was always connected to Zeraora. After making sure its stamina had recovered, he took out a Z-Crystal from his pocket and pressed it on his Z-Power bracelet.
The master had used his ultimate move, now it was his turn!
"Z-Move, 200 Million Volt Ultimate Thor!"
When the golden spark shot from John's body to the sky, there was immediately great light in heaven and earth.
Just like the blazing sun in the sky, strong and bright light shone on the earth from thousands of feet up, making everything a huge white space.
When the light dimmed slightly, John and Mustard saw clearly where the light was coming from.
A huge human figure, about 300 feet high, made entirely of white thunder, sat on the clouds, looking down on all living things like a lightning god.
This was the ultimate sure-kill technique developed by John and Zeraora together.
An enhanced version based on the Electric-type Z-Move "Gigavolt Havoc."
"Luckily, I was born early. If I were born in the same time as John, it would be hard to win even one championship, let alone eighteen in a row," Mustard said, looking at the huge figure made of lightning and taking a deep breath. "What a powerful move!"
"But I won't just sit back and wait to die!" Mustard shouted loudly.
Feeling the trainer's never-give-up will, Gigantamax Urshifu's eyes burned like flames, the surrounding water surged, and its strength and pressure were climbing at crazy speed!
In the past there was Leon, now there was John. They were both born to be trainers!
"Look out!"
Surging Strikes were the special moves of Urshifu's Rapid Strike Style.
He had to admit that each generation was getting stronger than the last one.
And G-Max Rapid Flow was the special Dynamax move of the Rapid Strike Style of Gigantamax Urshifu!
The "Thunder God" slowly opened its arms, jumped down from the clouds, and punched forward suddenly. The strength of this punch seemed huge. With one punch, its whole body was turned into supporting force.
At this point, the inspiration in it had been completely used by John.
"How wonderful it would be if I was born in the same time as you," he thought.
The source of inspiration was Enel from the One Piece world.
It seemed no different from Zeraora's previous moves, but those 200 million volts were no joke!
"G-Max Rapid Flow!"
