Chapter 1456 The Champion!
It's come to this!
"Pikachu! Use this move against it!"
Ash shouted and threw his baseball cap onto the field, crossing his arms at the same time, causing the Z-Ring to emit a dazzling golden light.
A huge electrical pattern lit up in front of him.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu caught the baseball cap and put it on, its eyes filled with determination and excitement.
Snapped!
The two soulmates lightly bumped fists in mid-air, then solemnly extended their fists towards the distant Super Boss Dora.
The host shouted, "Ash has activated his third system! Z-Move!!"
Countless spectators watched intently as the game began, everyone knowing that the most crucial moment of the match was about to unfold.
In the distant Alola region, Professor Kukui and Ash's friends and family were extremely nervous, watching the television intently without blinking. Lillie, who had come to the competition with her family, couldn't help but bow her head and pray for Ash and Pikachu.
hum!
In the empty arena, the Z-Force, originating from nature, was accumulating wildly. Golden light flowed continuously from Ash's body into Pikachu's body, and the mysterious Z-Force totem flashed and disappeared before it.
"A million volts, even more powerful than 100,000 volts..."
"No! It's even more powerful, our super full power!!"
"Pikachu! Pikachu!"
In a dazzling display of light, Pikachu sensed Ash's feelings, and its body instantly burst forth with a dazzling golden light. The electric sacs on both sides of its cheeks operated wildly, and a massive amount of lightning energy surged out from its body!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!
The earth trembled, and the air hissed.
The power of the thunderstorm at this moment was unprecedented. Chaotic currents flew wildly in all directions, and countless golden lightning bolts wrapped around Pikachu and converged, forming a huge torrent of lightning.
finally come!
Kashiwagi had been waiting for this for a long time, and he and Super Aggron were gazing at their opponent who had reached the limit of their power.
"Ready! Let's get through this level!"
"Gu..."
Faced with Pikachu's relentless lightning strikes, Super Aggron showed no fear, simply taking a deep breath.
"Roar--!!"
The furious roar was earth-shattering, even rivaling the deafening thunder.
The calm in her lake-blue eyes vanished, replaced by intense anticipation and absolute confidence.
After countless days and nights of waiting and enduring countless trials of steel and fire, I have done my utmost to hone myself, all for this moment!
The imposing aura of this metal fortress made it eye-catching even without any intention to attack, creating a stark contrast with Pikachu, who had accumulated lightning to its peak.
"bring it on!"
I'm right here!
"Crush me with your strongest attack!!"
The radiance of steel-attribute energy gradually converged, illuminating the Super Bosscodora with a dazzling metallic sheen.
In the blink of an eye, its form was completely enveloped in silver light.
The furious roar, mixed with the booming thunder, echoed incessantly throughout the arena, setting the stage for what could very well be the final attack!
Wearing a baseball cap, Pikachu is surrounded by lightning, its body suspended in mid-air, its eyes fixed intently on its opponent, gathering its power to the maximum.
"Pikachu pikachu pikachu—"
The next moment, Ash threw a powerful punch: "Pikachu!! 10 Million Volts!!"
boom--!!
The dazzling seven-colored lightning instantly illuminated the entire arena, the crackling sound of thunder resounded through the heavens and the powerful pressure covered the entire field, and the seven different colored lightning dragons collided head-on with the Super Boss Dora!
In an instant.
The deafening thunderclap echoed for miles!
"Gurgle..."
The flashing lightning momentarily blinded all the spectators, but fortunately it was only for a very short time.
As everyone's vision returned, they immediately noticed that everything they could see was trembling violently. The arena was completely occupied by a violent pillar of lightning that shot straight into the sky. The already dilapidated arena now looked as if it was about to be completely destroyed, covered with huge cracks!
【Million Volts】, a Z-Move exclusive to Pikachu and Ash, possesses maximum power and has an extremely strong ability to hit critical points, meaning the damage will continue to increase!
It represents the inseparable soul of this partnership, and contains the deep bond and indomitable fighting spirit between the two.
It is also the only hope to break the current deadlock.
Ash raised his hand to block the oncoming gust of wind, gritting his teeth as he awaited the outcome of the attack.
Countless friends and family members were also praying, either in person or in front of the television, hoping that Pikachu could pull off a miracle.
Please, please!
The collective vision of the people was so intense that even the Crowned King watching from the sky noticed it.
It couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"pity……"
As the thunderstorm that had enveloped the entire stadium receded, gradually revealing the charred, cratered ground and a panting Pikachu, a terrifying figure was then exposed to the audience.
"Gurgle... Roar..."
It looked like a distorted and blurry silver sun.
Chaotic lightning bolts swirled and were absorbed into the surface, forming seven-colored light waves that locked onto the surface and surged together with the silvery glow.
The host gasped, "Bosscodora! Bosscodora didn't fall down!"
The moment he uttered the sound, the silver "sun" began to stride toward the exhausted Pikachu.
Boom!
Boom!Boom!
Each of its steps was extremely heavy, as if it were carrying the weight of mountains and rivers. With each step forward, the light it emitted grew stronger, accompanied by a low, unsettling hum.
The rubble that was thrown up from the cracks in the earth vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.
There was no time to lament that 10 million volts had failed to defeat its opponent. The tens of thousands of spectators present instinctively gasped for breath, their pupils dilated, as if they were tasting the breath of death. Their hearts began to race, and their leg muscles trembled slightly.
coming soon!
This thought crossed everyone's mind.
then……
Long!
A dazzling, multicolored radiance emanates from the silver sun in an irregular semi-circle, spreading outwards in all directions.
"Pikachu—"
Before the audience could even utter a sound, they only heard Ash's piercing scream, and the oncoming light engulfed everything.
The entire arena was suddenly engulfed, and a silent destruction descended upon the Palace Gate Arena. The protective devices were damaged the instant they appeared, and the shockwave spread all the way outside the arena, cracking many walls, pillars, and even the bluestone bricks on the ground.
The sudden turn of events terrified countless passersby and Pokémon, who scattered and fled in all directions.
The tremors were so strong that even residents could vaguely feel them. All the live broadcasts went offline at the same time, and all that was shown to the world was a white expanse of snowflakes.
A sense of bewilderment was etched on the faces of all the viewers who were not present at the scene.
The staff in the backstage studio were all terrified. Fortunately, the familiar yet unfamiliar light barrier replaced the broken protective device in time, firmly blocking the audience and dissipating most of the destructive force.
Sweat beaded on Minoru Yamamoto's forehead, and Olive's expression was grim. Compared to the immense power unleashed by the millions of volts, this move was remarkably quiet.
Deathly silence!
The atmosphere at the scene was similar; the audience was not only deprived of their view, but also experienced tinnitus, making it difficult to hear the surrounding sounds.
Several dozen seconds passed before sight and sound returned, and the spacious stands quickly became noisy as everyone turned to look at the smoke-filled arena, awaiting the result.
"What terrifying power!"
"The effects of a metal explosion seem to be affected by damage taken, right? This level of destructive power... Aggron actually withstood it!"
"That's incredible! Is this the trump card of the Europa League champions?"
Those who witnessed the scene felt a shiver of fear, but also experienced the exhilarating feeling of surviving a near-death experience.
Now, their biggest concern is the outcome of the competition.
"Pop..."
Pigasman, who was knocked down by the shockwave, climbed back onto the railing, and the support outfit designed by Hikaru was now tattered.
The other supporting Pokémon either huddled in their trainers' arms, trembling, or were dizzy and unable to stand for a long time. The metal explosion affected not only Pikachu in the arena, but also those located on the first row of railings.
Serena's eyes were full of worry. After being amplified, the power of the 10 million volts was no longer on the same level. Could Pikachu's durability compare to that of a Super Aggron?
Even if they had great faith in Xiaozhi, they knew it would be difficult.
Amidst the commotion, the smoke inside the venue had already dissipated.
The figure of Super Aggron came into everyone's view and into the repaired camera. The surface of its bright silver breastplate and abdominal armor was covered with tiny cracks, clearly indicating that it was the main target of the 10 million volt attack.
There were obvious scorch marks on the head and arms, and there were also black residues from electric burning on the back and tail.
Yet its eyes remained bright and peaceful, its lake-blue pupils calm and undisturbed.
"Gurgle..."
Compared to its exaggerated physical defense, which is strong enough to withstand a snow spear head-on, Super Aggron's special defense is undoubtedly relatively weaker.
However, the result of its long-term training and the boost from its extremely high level are enough for it to withstand the millions of volts that delivered a critical hit!
If a super Metagross can do it, why can't it?
Moreover, it not only has to do that, but it also has to ensure that it retains enough energy!
Super Aggron looked into the distance, where Pikachu was lying, having just experienced the power of the metal explosion.
Compared to it, the other party's situation is clearly much worse.
Not only was he covered in wounds, but he was also panting heavily, his physical strength was clearly nearing its limit.
"Pi...pi..."
puff.
A soft sound.
A chorus of gasps erupted from all around, and Deng Pei appeared out of nowhere, making a move to enter the arena.
Super Aggron's gaze followed Ash's, and the familiar boy's face was filled with disbelief.
"Pikachu..."
He murmured softly.
Looks like it's coming to an end.
As Super Aggron thought this, the trainer's whisper echoed in its mind.
'not yet!'
not yet?
As the giant monster stood there stunned, it suddenly heard a crackling sound of electricity in its ears.
-
Lightning flashed, and a silvery gleam swept in.
As the power of the metal explosion spread throughout his body, the intense pain almost made Pikachu faint on the spot.
It tried its best to maintain its balance and prevent the shock wave from throwing it away.
"Pika... Pikachu..."
We cannot lose.
This land beneath our feet carries Ash's dreams and the sweat his friends have shed. We can't lose! We absolutely can't lose!
Pikachu tried to rouse itself, but its body, nearing its limit, wouldn't cooperate. It barely survived the shockwave from the metal explosion, but its vision inevitably began to blur.
Its strength was being drained away little by little. It was panting heavily, ignoring the stuffy air, and just wanted to stabilize its condition as much as possible.
Since the opponent was able to retaliate, it means that the 10 million volts did not achieve the desired result.
Keep fighting!
"Skin……"
Pikachu clenched its teeth, but a sudden, fatal dizziness surged through its body, and its limbs became weak and sore.
Its body inevitably tilted to the side, and its thoughts became blurred.
has it ended?
Is this the end?
Even though it was extremely unwilling inside, Pikachu's body was urging it to accept reality. Its soul seemed to be detached, and a light, floating feeling replaced the pain of its wounds.
In a daze.
A reverberant call rang in its ears.
"Pikachu—!!"
When did you start liking Ash?
Pikachu had this thought for no apparent reason. The blurry image in front of him became clear, and a face that was laughing excitedly came into view.
"Pikachu? So cute! Isn't this the best? Please take good care of me!"
It suddenly became annoyed and unleashed lightning to attack the boy in front of it.
His eyes blinked slightly.
The image then shifted.
It was a desolate wilderness with endless dark clouds and thunder and lightning, where flocks of fierce birds circled in the sky, emitting sharp cries that sent chills down one's spine.
Covered in mud, the boy disregarded his own safety, spreading his arms to shield the wounded bird, and let out a thunderous shout in the face of the menacing flock of birds:
"Who do you think I am!? I'm Ash from Pallet Town! The one who's going to become a Pokémon Master!"
Then he blinked again.
Inside the wooden house, its cheeks were covered with electrical wires and duct tape. Outside the window, a boy frantically stomped on a waterwheel, whispering expectantly to it, "Go, Pikachu! We'll definitely win next time!"
Blink again.
On its sickbed in Vermilion City, it refused the Thunder Stone placed before it by the boy, determined to maintain its original form and defeat its evolved form.
Keep blinking.
During the Indigo League, Charizard was declared defeated for avoiding the battle. It watched the boy kneel down with deep concern, tears welling up in its eyes.
My eyes kept closing and opening, and memories kept coming back to me: the joy of getting my first badge; the delight of seeing new friends join me; the frustration of losing my first competition; and the many magnificent adventures I had ever taken.
"I want to become a Pokémon Master!"
Ash's voice has never been so clear.
Eight regions, forty-eight gyms, new companions, formidable rivals, countless opponents, and a dazzling array of battles.
Yes.
All of this is what they have experienced, and it is the foundation that has enabled them to get to this point.
Pikachu's eyelids closed weakly again, as if it were about to fall into a deep sleep.
"Da ne da ne?"
"JeniJeni!"
"Woohoo~"
The sudden, familiar call once again jolted Pikachu awake. And there it was again, in its bewildered gaze, its friends far away in Pallet Town…
No, it was all the companions it had traveled with that appeared before it at this moment.
"Skin?"
Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charizard, Butterfree, Pidgeot, Infernape...
Their voices were so clear, as if they were truly right in front of it, constantly speaking to it:
"come on!"
Stand up!
You can do it!
Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola.
A variety of companions stood before it, encouraging it in their own unique ways and constantly giving it strength.
Even the Sirfetch'd and Dragonite that had just been defeated appeared one by one in front of it.
Everyone……
Pikachu's eyes trembled slightly.
And in the very end, there is that figure I love the most and can't bear to part with.
He strode up to him, his tone as confident and firm as ever, and whispered in his most familiar voice:
"Don't give up, Pikachu! We're all here for you!"
The boy clenched his fist, his expression radiating trust much like the one when talking about dreams.
Yes.
Everyone is around us!
"Skin!"
Having reached its limit, a new power surged from its body, which had been like a dry well, a power called friendship, a bond, and a belief that carried the will and dreams of its trainers and partners.
Pikachu stood up shakily, supporting its body which was on the verge of collapsing, and drew all the power from its electric sac to stimulate and awaken its own will!
It's not over yet!
"Pikachu—!!!"
A deafening roar, accompanied by earth-shattering thunder, shattered the silence of the audience and forced Deng Pei, who had been approaching, to retreat.
Sizzle!!
The violent electric current illuminated the sky, drawing astonishment and excitement from countless people.
"Pikachu! Pikachu has stood up!!" The host couldn't contain his excitement and shouted wildly.
Ash's expression quickly shifted from worry to joy, his eyes shining brightly: "Great! Pikachu! You held on!"
Serena and the others in the audience also showed joyful expressions, while the dejected Bogarman quickly became excited, wildly waving the colorful ball in his hand, "Pop-pop!"
Even Team Rocket "betrayed" them at this moment. Faced with the goal they had been pursuing all this time, and seeing it rise and burst into action, they couldn't help but burst into tears and joined the ranks of those cheering for Ash and Pikachu.
In the final moments of despair, willpower and friendship successfully led Pikachu out of the encirclement, giving it a power that even Mega Aggron and Calyrex could not resist.
"Hahaha! I knew I was right!"
Kashiwagi seemed to hear music suddenly playing in his ears, all sorts of exciting tunes from the Pokémon series.
A smile spread across his face, the first expression he had shown since the start of the finals.
"That's right, this is the real you! This is Ash and Pikachu!"
The most dazzling dream of my childhood!
He used to sit in front of the TV and computer, traveling with Ash and Pikachu, constantly adventuring in the magnificent Pokémon world.
Rejoice in his victories, regret his defeats, and always remain hopeful.
now.
Kashiwagi stood on the stage of the Eight Masters finals, facing his childhood, a dream he once longed for but could never reach.
"Aggron!"
He shouted without restraint, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, "Don't lose to them! Let's go and claim our victory!"
A powerful belief instantly touched the heart of Super Aggron. An unprecedented surge of intense emotion flowed continuously from its trainer, causing its blood to boil and making it face the Pikachu brewing lightning in the distance, a lightning bolt no less than ten million volts, or even far exceeding its power.
"Goohoo!!"
Don't even think about turning the tide!
Victory is ours for the taking!
A distorted metallic sheen enveloped Mega Aggron, the shared belief between trainer and Pokémon transforming into matching power. The shockwave instantly crushed the rubble, turning it back into a shining silver sun!
This scene naturally caught the attention of Pikachu and Ash.
But their faces showed no fear, only the determination to stake everything for victory.
"Pikachu's here! Let's decide the outcome with this one strike!"
"Pikachu—"
He was empowered by thunder and lightning, and surrounded by colorful light.
The trainer's expectations, the encouragement of his partners, the touching memories, and all the beliefs accumulated along the way all converged in the lightning.
Pikachu left itself no room for maneuver!
When the two Pokémon reached their peak condition, Ash and Kashiwagi simultaneously let out a roar:
"100,000 Volts!!" "Heavy Impact!!"
"Pikachu!!" "Gurgle!!"
Pikachu stood upright, unleashing a burst of violent golden lightning that annihilated everything around it.
Super Bossdora roared furiously, its twisted metallic sheen rumbling and grinding nearby sand and gravel into dust.
next moment.
They simultaneously harnessed energy waves and charged towards each other, their immense power crushing the ground and leaving deep marks. Their unparalleled impact force violently compressed the air, forming visible shockwaves!
Despite the vast difference in size between the two, the brilliance they emitted was equally matched, like two planets colliding in the center of the arena, unleashing a deafening roar!
[Friendship 100,000 Volts] VS [Victory Heavyweight Collision]!
The audience, like the humans in EVA, were ready to face the Second Impact.
Unexpectedly, the immense power unleashed by the two Pokémon did not leak out much. Although the aftershocks were still powerful, it was clear that both sides were concentrating all their energy at the top, the center of the collision.
Therefore, what they could see was two energies clearly dividing the arena in two: one side belonged to the raging thunder, and the other to the distorted silver light.
A continuous roar came from within, mixed with the desperate screams of two Pokémon and two trainers.
In that instant, the sound transformed into power, causing Super Aggron and Pikachu, less than half a meter apart, to look directly at each other and unleash their own beliefs and will.
No one wanted to admit defeat; everyone wanted to stand until the very last moment.
Both sides carry the expectations of countless people, which become a continuous source of motivation, supporting them to continue moving forward.
"Pikachu—!!"
"Gurgle—!!"
No one knew how long the hedging match lasted. Everyone was too busy to keep track of the time, their eyes glued to the arena, afraid of missing a crucial moment.
In the end, what was presented to everyone was the complete dissipation of lightning and silver light, leaving nothing behind.
The two Pokémon, having broken free from their opposing stances, stared at each other, panting heavily, with their trainers standing silently and with unwavering gazes behind them.
The vast arena was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; not a single person spoke, including the host and Deng Pei, who was waiting.
Time passed second by second.
Suddenly, Super Bossdora lowered its head, eliciting gasps from the audience.
Could it be—
Before they could make an accurate judgment, the Pikachu on the other side struggled to close its eyes, and its small and exquisite body fell backward.
Then the drooping head rose high and let out a tremendous roar that shook the heavens and the earth!
"Gurgle—!!"
The stadium fell silent, then cheers and applause resounded throughout the world!
