The instant the golden dragon warrior appeared...
Every gaze in the stadium was drawn toward him.
Once the spectators finally saw his figure clearly...
Their expressions immediately became fervent.
Golden armor reflecting brilliant rainbow-colored light beneath the sun.
Flowing flame-colored hair.
And deep-blue dragon eyes.
Yes!
There was no mistake!
It was him!
The atmosphere instantly heated up.
The suffocating tension that had previously filled the entire stadium was swept away.
Joy at having escaped disaster appeared in countless eyes.
There was no one who failed to recognize the dragon warrior before them.
He was one of the strongest beings on this planet.
A warrior who had already accumulated tremendous fame and astonishing battle achievements.
Even against First-tier Legendaries...
He could defeat them!
As long as he was here...
They could win!
He could definitely defeat that evil white Pokémon!
Remembering WarGreymon's glorious battle record...
Everyone felt as though they could already predict what would happen next.
They eagerly waited for WarGreymon to once again display his overwhelming combat strength...
And effortlessly defeat Mewtwo.
"It actually worked?!"
"My God! I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"How long has it even been?"
"Great! This is fantastic!"
"I knew you were a genius!"
"We're saved!"
"Beautifully done!"
Inside the VIP room...
Only a moment earlier, everyone had been terrified by Mewtwo's sudden attack.
But now...
The moment they saw that Himeko had sent out WarGreymon...
Their emotions underwent a complete reversal.
The flame of hope ignited in their hearts.
Their gazes toward Himeko were filled with intense gratitude and relief.
Ever since Himeko had returned from Dragon Valley with an Agumon given to her by Shiko...
The Alliance had poured enormous amounts of resources into raising him.
All so Himeko could help Agumon grow as quickly as possible.
Even so...
The fact that she had managed to evolve Agumon all the way into WarGreymon in such a short amount of time still greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
She truly deserved to be called a genius among geniuses.
This time...
The Alliance's faith in her had paid off.
High above the battlefield...
Mewtwo's forward momentum had also stopped.
Its arms remained crossed over its chest.
Its eyes narrowed slightly.
With a solemn expression, it carefully examined WarGreymon from head to toe.
This was an extremely powerful opponent.
Judging solely from the aura WarGreymon released...
Mewtwo immediately understood something.
This creature was nothing like the opponents it had fought earlier.
WarGreymon's combat strength had undoubtedly reached the level of a First-tier Legendary.
And he was powerful even among beings of that level.
For the first time...
Even Mewtwo felt an intense sense of danger.
Mewtwo searched through its internal database.
But after rapidly reviewing everything stored within it...
It found absolutely no information about this creature.
Then...
From WarGreymon...
Mewtwo vaguely sensed the same kind of aura it had previously felt from Phoenixmon, Lillymon, and the others.
It immediately understood.
Most likely...
WarGreymon was the same as those previous opponents.
Another malformed lifeform created by humans through scientific technology.
What a pitiful creature.
Mewtwo sighed lightly.
Then its eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.
In that case...
I'll send you down to reunite with the others.
The next second—
Mewtwo vanished.
Its disappearance was so abrupt that it resembled several frames being removed from a perfectly smooth video.
When it appeared again...
It was already directly in front of WarGreymon.
Its fist was already drawn back.
Tremendous physical force surged through its body.
There was no Psychic-type energy attached to the punch.
Nor did Mewtwo use any sophisticated Fighting-type technique.
It relied purely on the physical strength of its body...
Combined with the tremendous speed of its instantaneous approach.
It was an utterly ordinary punch.
Yet with Mewtwo's absurd physical capabilities supporting it...
Even such a simple punch possessed enough destructive power to blast an enormous crater straight through a volcano.
WarGreymon truly lived up to the word "war" in his name.
His reactions were extraordinarily sharp.
Almost at exactly the same instant...
He slightly curved his alloy claws.
Then slashed diagonally in front of himself.
Whoosh!
The claws moved so quickly that they produced a sharp sound as they tore through the air.
CLANG!!!
The crisp sound of metal striking metal immediately followed.
Mewtwo's fist collided directly with WarGreymon's claws.
After a brief contest of strength...
Both sides were pushed more than ten meters backward.
As expected!
This one really was different from the others.
Very strong.
Mewtwo nodded slightly.
Its earlier judgment had been correct.
From that single brief exchange...
Mewtwo could already clearly determine that WarGreymon was far stronger than the six opponents who had previously surrounded it.
They weren't on the same level at all.
WarGreymon's combat strength was top-tier even among First-tier Legendaries.
At the same time...
WarGreymon had also gained a basic understanding of Mewtwo's strength.
A troublesome opponent.
It looked like he would have to fight seriously this time.
The instant their eyes met...
Both of them moved again.
Their speed was astonishing.
The naked eye could capture only vague traces of their movements.
Two meteors twisted and intertwined continuously through the sky.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Impact after impact echoed through the air.
CLANG!!
Another sharp metallic collision rang out.
Mewtwo's Fire Punch was stopped by WarGreymon's Dragon Claw.
After exchanging that attack...
Both fighters used the resulting impact to propel themselves more than a hundred meters backward.
Then...
Almost simultaneously...
They stopped and hovered in midair.
