Chapter 1274 The Golden Sailor—
【raid】!
The last come first!
Its ferocious jaws, like a python flicking its tongue, bite through one jaw, and another quickly follows.
But at the critical moment, Greninja's body suddenly yanked backward, escaping the bite of the second mandible.
The giant-mouthed baby exclaimed in astonishment, "Tsk!?"
Immediately, its expression shifted to one of relief, simply because, through Kashiwagi's "perspective," it understood why the Greninja could dodge the attack—
The creature's tongue had somehow gotten stuck in the ground, causing it to slide backward.
It must have happened when he leaned back.
The giant Mawile touched the ground with one foot and spun around like a dancer, while at the same time it tripped Greninja and made a high jump, creating countless afterimages that were hard to distinguish from the real ones, several times more than before!
Suddenly, I saw that the air above was filled with countless beings that were entangled with Greninja!
"Koh!"
Dozens of voices echoed in unison.
The next moment, a pink storm suddenly swept in, tearing all the visible fake bodies into pieces!
【Fairy Wind】!
call!
The wind howled.
The giant Maw of Babes sways gracefully, accompanied by a dazzling, pastel-colored whirlwind, making it look incredibly radiant and magnificent.
It makes people unconsciously immerse themselves in its dance.
But for Greninja and Ash, who were bound together by their bond, this gust of wind was terrifying and extremely frightening.
Without a doubt, Kashiwagi and Mawile anticipated Ash and its thoughts and used this move!
Before long, only Greninja's true form remained suspended in mid-air.
It crossed its arms to resist the pink wind, and was blown so hard that it could hardly fall to the ground.
Ash immediately shouted, "Water Shuriken!"
"knock--"
Greninja removes the giant water dart from its back and spins it powerfully forward.
hum!
A giant water shuriken spun around, suddenly slicing through the sky and leaving a clearly visible trail of water!
Kashiwagi: "Iron Wall!"
"Tch!"
The giant jaws of the Maw of Megalodon swung, blocking its path like two iron pillars, with a bright silver light flowing across their surface.
Bang!
The water shuriken struck the steel giant jaws precisely, exploding into a massive spray of water that enveloped them.
"It's barely passable."
Bai Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.
The feelings of the Big Mouth Baby need no words; they have already reached his heart.
Since he suspected that the opponent was a champion-level player, he would definitely need to verify it from multiple perspectives.
Speed is one factor, and attack power is another.
Defense...
Based on the in-game stats, Greninja's defense shouldn't be too high.
Of course, the "barely good" assessment by the Big Mouth Baby is based on the premise that the opponent's strength is that of a champion's main player.
While Mawile has never battled a proper champion like Karune, it has at least fought Nemo's Pokémon many times.
Champion level, still a champion!
Thinking about this, Kashiwagi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The childhood filter was so strong that when it came to actually fighting, Greninja's performance somewhat demystified him.
But he understood that it wasn't that Greninja was too weak, but rather that he himself was now too powerful.
What games did Greninja play before?
Gym Challenges, League Tournament!
How can a Pokémon that has never even competed in the Champion League compare to him now?
Furthermore, Ash didn't bring it with him to the World Championships this year.
No matter how much a Pokémon trains on its own without the help of a trainer, its progress will be quite limited.
Greninja's ability to reach its current level is already a testament to its exceptional talent.
What Kashiwagi truly wanted to see in Ash is probably something he can no longer find in Greninja.
Generations and versions of gods.
Ash's journey version is destined to unleash its full potential with Mega Lucario or Pikachu!
With that thought in mind, he looked at the Greninja in the arena.
He adjusted himself, placed his right hand on his waist, and saw clear water gathering there.
next moment.
The Greninja frog, like a flying arrow, shot straight to the ground, suddenly piercing through the vast white fog.
"Koh!"
Ash: "Water Burst!"
Kashiwagi: "How brave!"
This was yet another move that caught him off guard!
Clang!
The sword is out of its sheath!
The gleaming blade reflected the blazing sun, causing onlookers to squint in shock.
This also prevented them from seeing the situation inside the arena clearly; they could only hear crisp clicking sounds and the popping of water vapor.
"What's wrong? How are you?"
"That move is so cool! I think it's a draw slash from kendo!"
"Ash's Greninja is definitely the coolest!"
The crowd was talking loudly.
Professor Oak rubbed his eyes and said, "Oh wow~ it's getting more and more skilled."
Because Ash is often away traveling, Greninja cannot be hindered from evolving and can only focus on its normal form. Among them, "Water Slash" is a skill that it suddenly learned while training under a waterfall.
It slashed horizontally so fast that even the waterfall, which had been cut in half, seemed to freeze for a few seconds before continuing to flow.
Unfortunately, it only amazed us the first time.
However, Professor Oak thought the water flow that broke just now was quite good, and he hoped to get a satisfactory result.
With his gaze returning to the field, Professor Oak looked back at the arena.
Suddenly, Xiao Mao's solemn voice came from beside him.
"How terrible!"
Clearly, a misty, milky-white fog enveloped the two Pokémon.
At this moment, Mawile and Greninja are facing away from each other. The latter seems to be gracefully "sheathing its sword," but in reality, its "sword" has already shattered and will dissipate into flowing water in the next moment.
Behind Greninja, milky white mist continuously escaped from the mouth of a giant mandible.
—The water flow was cracked apart by this thing!
Even worse, Mawile's other giant jaw bit into Greninja's long tongue, which resembled a scarf.
The combined force of the two forces causes the tongue to stretch into a straight line.
This is one of the reasons why both sides stood still.
"Koh-ga..."
"Tsk-tsk~"
The giant Mouth Baby turned slightly to the side, a hint of a smile appearing in its watery eyes.
To dare to get close to it is truly...
He's never died!
Ash realized the situation was dire and urgently commanded, "Greninja! U-turn!"
The onlookers were too distracted by the flashing blades to see clearly, but he, who was in sync with Greninja, understood everything perfectly.
The instant Greninja uses Aqua Smash, Mawile uses its mandibles to crush the blade at an even faster speed, and takes the opportunity to bite the tongue.
This is clearly to guard against some kind of trick that has appeared before.
The deliberate training of the double jaws even surpasses the dexterity of the hands, allowing for multitasking with exceptional precision!
"Koh!"
Greninja sidestepped and punched, its hands and feet enveloped in a sky-blue glow, using its agile movements to strike the giant jaws repeatedly, trying to make it loosen its grip.
Unfortunately, it was destined to be in vain.
The giant jaws, reinforced with Iron Wall, are exceptionally hard, completely unaffected by Greninja's attacks. Greninja even has to expend some energy to dodge another abyssal maw that's biting down.
The two Pokémon entangled within a limited area until the light of Aerial Ace faded.
"Tsk tsk".
ended?
The giant Mouth Baby grinned and grabbed the long tongue, spinning it around at high speed!
Then it's my turn!
All of a sudden.
The immense force pulled at the Greninja's body, causing it to involuntarily lift off the ground.
Ash: "Water Shuriken, plunge it into the ground!!"
"Koh!"
Greninja swiftly retrieved the giant water shuriken, but before it could do as Ash instructed, Mawile had already hurled it high into the air.
hum!
Brilliant!
A stream of pink light, mixed with seven-colored stars, shot out from the giant jaws. The giant Maw of Babes looked up and, as if boosted by a rocket booster, roared straight into the sky!
"Don't lose to it! Water Shuriken!"
Ash raised his hand and turned around. Greninja, which had regained its balance, immediately placed a Water Shuriken in front of it, causing it to spin rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the giant, spinning water shuriken transformed into a shield.
A golden light suddenly burst forth from the center, tinged with the shuriken's shuriken blue.
But before it could fully transform into gold, the giant Maw of Babes, like a rocket launching into the sky, crashed down upon us!
"Frolic."
"Tch—dot!!"
Boom!
The water shield shattered, and amidst the deafening roar, white mist burst forth, obscuring the sky and the sun.
But soon, a petite figure, driven by pastel light, burst out from above the mist, pushing Greninja along with its entanglement as it soared to even greater heights!
"Well!"
Xiao Zhi clutched his stomach.
His Bond Evolution resonance is much higher than Mega Evolution, allowing him to experience the pain that Greninja endures.
Correspondingly, this also made his cooperation with Greninja more seamless, as if they lived in the same body.
So much so that whenever Ash gives a command, Greninja has already taken the corresponding action in advance, even faster than Kashiwagi can internally transmit instructions to Mawile.
Because their thinking has long been completely synchronized, indistinguishable from each other.
This resonance is precisely the new realm that Bai Mu is constantly pursuing.
The onlookers looked up and saw that both Mawile and Greninja had become very small.
at last.
When the height exceeds 100 meters, the two separate and fall separately.
"Tch?"
Mega Mawile stared at its opponent, surprised to find that Greninja with Bondage was still conscious.
That's pretty tough!
Keep in mind this is just playful banter after a sword dance! Attribute advantage!
"Lock-in-blood? No, it's 'Pain Sharing'."
Kashiwagi saw Ash take a deep breath and realized that it was because the trainer shared some of the pain that Greninja wasn't instantly defeated.
...Perhaps the fake golden shuriken from earlier also played a role?
His eyesight was excellent; the golden light that clung to the spinning water shuriken did not escape his notice.
come on!
Give you a chance!
Let me see the real Golden Water Shuriken!
Kashiwagi's will made Mawile stop thinking about finishing off the enemy, and he immediately showed an interested expression.
"Tch?"
Golden water shuriken? What's that?
Mawile is actually quite concerned about Greninja's performance when it's tied to Greninja.
After all, the opponent completed "Mega Evolution" without using Key Stones or Mega Stones.
The two Pokémon continued to freefall.
"—Greninja! Come on! The final water shuriken!"
Xiao Zhi clenched his fist and shouted.
He was clearly aware of Greninja's current situation and just wanted to make a final, desperate effort!
The Greninja, suspended in mid-air, suddenly opened its eyes wide.
"Koh!"
It plucked the massive water shuriken that had re-formed on its back, flung it above its head, and manipulated its rotation while infusing it with even greater power!
Long!
As the waves surged and golden light billowed, a golden water shuriken, as brilliant as a blazing flame, was born amidst the spray of water!
The Greninja's movements were affected by this, and it froze for a few seconds!
"This is!"
"Why has the water turned golden?"
Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene.
Because Alain was unable to participate in the Lumiose Conference, Ash's opponent in the finals changed, and the legendary Golden Water Shuriken naturally came to nothing.
But at this moment, under the pressure from the Mega Mangle, this "divine skill" was triggered just as Kashiwagi wished!
"Hahaha! Come on!"
"Tch!"
Super Maw of Babes sensed the energy fluctuations coming from above, pressed its jaws together in front of it, and solemnly erected a shimmering blue light shield.
Kashiwagi received the relevant information and learned that the Golden Water Shuriken was releasing high temperatures, and then he realized that the tweet from the animation director was real.
The water shuriken generates heat due to high-speed rotation and friction with the air, thus producing extraordinary heat!
"Knock—ga!"
The moment the light shield lit up, Greninja swung its claws with all its might and threw out the Golden Water Shuriken!
Golden light shimmered from top to bottom!
Countless people held their breath—
Boom!
The powerful water mist transformed into a visible stream of steam, which suddenly expanded and exploded, surging outwards in all directions!
Even the onlookers on the ground couldn't help but get their faces steamed by the heat.
"So hot!"
"Wow! My face is going to be roasted!"
Xiao Mao put down the long coat that was covering his grandfather and Grandma Juzi's heads and said, "Now the battle should be over!"
The answer is obvious.
Before long, the familiar pastel whirlwind dispersed the drifting water vapor.
The giant Mouth Baby slowly stopped its spinning motion.
Not far away, a grenades lay quietly in the mud, sleeping in an exceptionally peaceful posture.
"what!"
Xiao Zhi slumped back, exhausted, panting heavily.
Pikachu cast a concerned glance, "Pikachu?"
"It's nothing, I just haven't fought alongside Greninja in a long time, hehehehe."
He laughed.
Despite losing the match, I am still happy.
Mega Mawile is incredibly strong, so strong that there's practically no room for error when battling it. But the stronger it is, the more it fuels Ash's fighting spirit.
Defeat after defeat, yet fight on despite repeated setbacks!
He got up and went into the arena to help Greninja up. He was about to greet the frowning Mawile when he saw it turn away unhappily.
"Eh?"
Xiaozhi was stunned.
Why aren't you happy even though you won the battle?
That's because... Greninja failed to meet its expectations!
Keep in mind that Maw of Venom went to catch the Golden Water Shuriken with the mindset of protecting himself from being destroyed and having no choice but to tough it out.
It discovered that as soon as the thing hit the guard, it lost a significant portion of its important attribute energy due to its own high heat.
The remaining part also failed to be fully focused, exhibiting rather scattered behavior.
in conclusion--
It looks impressive, but it's actually extremely disappointing!
Using an obviously unfinished move in a battle against it—is that a sign of looking down on it?
The young lady was very unhappy.
The trainer gave Greninja too much respect, and as a result, it pooped a huge mess!
"Tch!"
Mawile looked up at his trainer, waiting for his explanation.
Bai Mu shrugged and smiled helplessly.
He fully understood why Greninja lost to Charizard in the original story: on the one hand, the opponent had a locked health bar, and on the other hand, the Golden Water Shuriken was not fully developed.
All I can say is that I'm looking forward to the future.
There's still a lot of room for improvement in the Golden Water Shuriken—if Ash is willing to continue breeding Greninja.
P.S.: I couldn't resist writing about the Golden Water Shuriken.
First of all, I'm not a frog hater; I loved Frog so much in the last season. Secondly, I'm not a frog hater; I'm a hater of the animation scriptwriters. Please, the scriptwriters who wrote the Sun and Moon script, come back!
