Facing the torrential rain of water cannonballs flying through the sky.
Zeraora extended its hand, and a white compressed Aura Sphere appeared in its palm.
Plasma Fist—Aura Sphere.
An Electric-type version of the spiral Aura Sphere. The concept was borrowed from the Rasengan and modified with Electric-type properties.
Aiming at the Gigantamax Mega Blastoise, Zeraora launched it forward.
"Zzt—"
A crisp, short, and sharp flash of light.
The Plasma Fist—Aura Sphere pierced through countless water cannonballs in just a split second and sank directly into the body of the Gigantamax Mega Blastoise.
The spiral Aura Sphere enhanced with Thunder had gained even faster speed and stronger penetration power.
"ZZZZTTT!!!"
In an instant, the massive Mega Blastoise, which had been spinning in mid-air, transformed into an extremely dazzling "sun," nearly blinding the audience.
"Ah! My eyes!"
"What's going on? Did someone just use Flash?"
Some viewers quickly pulled out their sunglasses and put them on. Don't ask why they were so prepared—Flash had never been an uncommon move to encounter.
What? You didn't bring sunglasses? Well, you're clearly not a seasoned audience member.
The flickering thunder came and went quickly.
After just a few seconds, the dazzling electrical light gradually faded. The body of the Gigantamax Mega Blastoise, now somewhat scorched black from the electricity, fell from the sky.
It crashed heavily into the abyss below, causing enormous waves to beat against the battlefield walls. If not for the protection of the energy barrier, at least half of the stadium would have been flooded.
"Thunder!" Chris commanded again.
He had seen it very clearly—when Blastoise fell into the abyss, it had neither cancelled its Mega Evolution nor lost its Gigantamax form.
In other words, not only had Blastoise not fainted, but its stamina was definitely still above half.
Blastoise had been hit by Zeraora's Plasma Fist—Aura Sphere, an Electric-type attack, and wasn't seriously injured? That was quite strange.
Presumably, this Blastoise had some means of countering Electric-type attacks.
Zeraora summoned the thunder dragon from the clouds once more.
Leaning forward slightly, the dazzling Thunder Waterfall hung suspended in the sky again.
"Max Quake!" Marvin naturally wouldn't just sit there and take it.
From deep within the abyss, a massive and thick claw emerged. Countless amounts of mud condensed in its palm, and in the blink of an eye, ten walls of earth covered the enormous abyss like a lid.
"BOOM!!!"
The Thunder Waterfall descended from above, shaking the entire battlefield.
This time, the defense constructed by the Gigantamax Mega Blastoise held firm and wasn't broken through.
Max Quake, originally a Ground-type move used to enhance Special Defense, was now being used defensively by Mega Blastoise. The Ground-type could block the electrical current, and the actual impact from the thunder was reduced to just physical force.
As a countermeasure against Electric-types, this Mega Blastoise must have trained quite extensively.
"Gigantamax Hydro Cannon!" Marvin immediately launched a counterattack.
The ground that had blocked the Thunder suddenly burst open, and a war fortress bristling with cannons erupted from below.
It was the shell of the Gigantamax Mega Blastoise!
A blue glow appeared at the muzzle of every cannon on the war fortress, and in the next second, water surged forth like flames.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
The cannons roared deafeningly!
The battlefield looked like an actual warzone, and the firepower of a single Gigantamax Mega Blastoise was comparable to that of an entire regiment.
Zeraora floating in mid-air became the target.
The shells and bullets fired into the sky were all locked on without exception, bombarding indiscriminately.
"Lock On?" Chris couldn't help but want to complain.
Champion, what exactly have you taught your Blastoise?
But a Blastoise with such a combination of moves was indeed nearly impeccable in both offense and defense. If it had existed in ancient times, such a powerful Blastoise would definitely have become a weapon of war.
Looking up at the sky, Chris wasn't worried about Zeraora's current situation at all.
A continuous stream of shells and bullets?
Did they really think these things could hit Zeraora just because Lock On was activated?
Zeraora floated in the air, sparks flickering in its eyes as it looked down at the war fortress below, not taking these attacks seriously at all.
Its "keen eye" ability was officially combined with the move "Electric Field Detection." Its senses were fused with electric waves.
From that moment on, unless the speed of an attack exceeded the limits of its reaction time, or the range of the attack made escape impossible, otherwise, when any attack came within more than a thousand meters, the trajectory of its movement would appear clearly in Zeraora's mind!
Attacks with trajectories that could change at any time?
Zeraora turned sideways at the moment just before impact. The missiles constructed from water could only pass through its white, dazzling fur and explode in the distance, or collide with another water bullet and explode together!
Everyone watched as Zeraora moved left and right as if taking a leisurely stroll through mid-air, easily avoiding all the attacks.
The water streams colliding and splashing together in mid-air looked like a grand fireworks display.
"Hand of the Sea God!" Marvin shouted suddenly. His attack wasn't over yet.
The underground war fortress was immediately overturned, and the Gigantamax Mega Blastoise poked its head out, extending its thick, sharp claws to grab at the sky.
Immediately, the streams of water that had exploded nearby due to missing Zeraora received some kind of pull, condensing into ten large water streams that formed grasping hands in the air.
He had never expected this—it was actually a combination attack. Just like the moves Chris's Mega Garchomp had demonstrated earlier.
"BANG!" The violent collision between the water streams caused a thunderous noise.
The people on the ground could feel the strength of those fists just by hearing the sound—as if they could easily crush steel.
But unfortunately, the palms of the massive water streams were empty.
Zeraora's form was as fast as lightning itself, and it had already dodged when the water palms appeared. Who could catch lightning with their bare hands?
"Zeraora, begin the counterattack!" Chris called out sharply, reaching out to pull a Z-Crystal from his pocket and pressing it onto his strengthening bracelet.
The Gigantamax Mega Blastoise was now exposed. Marvin's round of offense was over, and it was his turn.
Moreover, one minute had passed.
The bonus effect of Zapdos's Treasure had refreshed once again.
"Z-Move, Ultimate Volt Thunderstorm Dragon Flash!"
This time, it was Chris's exclusive Z-Move developed specifically for Zeraora!
