The world-ending power of a First-tier Legendary!
A terrifying move, like a gigantic meteor falling from the heavens!
Shiko's expression darkened as the pressure bearing down on him suddenly intensified.
Dialga let out a roar.
Its front hooves stomped heavily against the ground.
The three enormous rocky bodies floating and circling around it, under its summons, fell rapidly from a height of a thousand meters like shooting stars.
Their speed was astonishingly fast.
The earth-colored stone bodies began to burn under the violent friction against the air.
Trailing long tails of flame as they fell, they were dazzling to the extreme.
They dyed the entire azure sky crimson.
Shiko stepped against empty space.
His body shot straight upward like a sharp arrow.
He raised both hands high.
Powerful energy flowed out of his body.
In the blink of an eye, a pure white mass of energy gathered between his palms.
Then—
There was no more time to charge or prepare.
The instant the meteors closed in before him, he unleashed an uncharged version of Gaia Force, blasting it toward the three burning shooting stars.
Bang!!
A fierce collision erupted in midair.
The enormous sound was a hundred times more shocking than thunder.
It was as if tens of millions of war drums were roaring in unison.
It struck hard at the heartstrings of everyone witnessing the scene.
The falling meteors were completely blasted into dust by the energy cannon.
Stone fragments drifted down in a scattered shower.
They even piled up into a layer across the ground.
The energy storm spilling outward swept past like a hurricane.
It rolled up the dust on the ground, turning the entire world into a gray and murky expanse.
Within that dim line of sight, Shiko lost track of Dialga.
His nerves tightened.
The pressure Dialga brought him was even stronger than when he had faced Yveltal before.
The current Shiko was already far stronger than he had been back then.
But in a battle against Dialga, he still did not dare to relax even slightly.
Shiko's expression was grave.
His deep blue dragon eyes kept sweeping across the mist-like region before him.
He tried his hardest to capture Dialga's figure within it.
Then he sensed a subtle disturbance in the air currents in the space before him.
There!
Relying on that perception, he confirmed Dialga's direction.
Toward the space diagonally to the side, he swung a claw with tremendous force.
This full-power strike was terrifying to the extreme.
Even space itself was shattered apart!
Boom!
His Metal Claw tore through the haze.
It slashed viciously into a blue-and-silver body.
Sparks erupted.
WarGreymon's sharp claws carved several exaggerated, deep marks into Dialga's tough body.
Roar!!
Dialga let out a pained cry.
Shiko's heart suddenly lightened.
It landed!
Under this move, even a First-tier Legendary would suffer severe damage!
However, in the very next second, his nerves instinctively tightened once again.
Pfft!!
The Dialga before him began to twist and crumble continuously.
In the end, it shattered apart completely and vanished.
This!?
This was Substitute!
Shiko snapped back to his senses in an instant and understood the situation before him.
But in the very next second—
From the other side, he sensed an obvious and clear energy fluctuation, along with violently chaotic air currents!
Damn it!
It was over there!!
