[Both sides sent out their Pokémon.]
[Diantha brought out her strongest Pokémon, Gardevoir.]
[And Ash's Pokémon is a bipedal frog; its body and legs are dark blue, its chest is yellow; each of its limbs has a large white bubble, and each leg has a four-pointed star mark.]
[Greninja, Water + Dark, appears and disappears like a Ninja.]
[It plays with its rival using agile movements, then uses the shuriken made of mucus oozing from its thighs to slash the opponent.]
[The shuriken, made by compressed water, can quickly spin and fly out to cut steel wires neatly, and even split metal in half.]
…
Kanto Region, Cinnabar Island.
"What a handsome Pokémon, Ash! How did you catch such a Pokémon!!"
When Misty, who particularly likes water Pokémon, saw Greninja's handsome figure, she was immediately fascinated.
It is inevitable that she is a little envious of Ash.
"Hahaha, I don't know, but this Pokémon looks very powerful," Ash said happily.
...
Palace Stadium, guest seats.
"Greninja? The final evolution of Kalos Region's three major water-type Pokémon Froakie?" Steven Stone muttered to himself. "From the perspective of body shape and build, the breeder did quite well."
Wallace praised.
But the next moment... his eyes changed immediately: "But... it seems that there is nothing special about it. It should be just an excellent Greninja. With such strength, Diantha can knock it down in a few rounds."
Wallace knows a lot about water-type Pokémon. Just through the video, he can sense the approximate level of Greninja.
Although it is quite excellent, it is not qualified to face a regional champion Trainer.
Facts have proved...
Greninja at this stage...
It is indeed so.
...
In the video—
[The battle is tense.]
"Go ahead, Greninja! Cut."
[The passionate Ash was ready to strike first and quickly commanded Greninja.]
[The moment he received the order, Greninja turned into a blue lightning and flew away.]
[While running, he showed a white blade and slashed at Gardevoir.]
[However...]
[Diantha and Gardevoir only exchanged glances and easily avoided Greninja's fierce attack.]
[The unyielding Ash continued to command Greninja to keep fighting.]
[Water Shuriken, continuous Cut, plus Aerial Ace...]
[Many moves were displayed one by one, and Greninja's "Ninja" nature was fully presented.]
[But even so, Gardevoir still looked at ease and easily avoided Greninja's fierce attacks like a hurricane of rain.]
"Shadow Ball."
"Shadow Clone."
[Gardevoir began to attack, gathering a dark purple Energy Ball in her palm and flinging it toward Greninja.]
[Greninja quickly activated Shadow Clone, transforming into countless clones to dodge the Shadow Ball.]
[But Diantha quickly commanded, and continuous Shadow Balls smashed Greninja's clones and the original body away.]
[After several rounds, Greninja was seriously defeated.]
[It is also obvious to see the gap between the two sides.]
...
Team Rocket's Base.
"I waited in vain. Such a boring battle," Team Rocket's Executive Archer said boredly.
"This battle... is a ruthless crushing."
"That's right. I thought this little brat would show some skills to beat Diantha, but I didn't expect... that's it, that's it!!!"
Another Team Rocket Executive, Ariana, mocked.
"If this is the so-called peak battle, then wouldn't it be embarrassing to broadcast the subsequent video?? Hahaha."
Archer continued to speak mercilessly.
At this moment, Giovanni's eyes were fixed on Ash and Greninja.
He observed for a long time.
Still so ordinary.
There were not many outstanding qualities.
Could it be...
Is this really only this level?
My vision...
Was wrong?
...
Palace Gate Stadium, audience seats.
"No, it's a completely suspenseful battle."
"Miss Diantha is one of the top five Pokémon masters in the world, after all. Ash may not have reached the strength of an Elite Trainer yet. How could he be Miss Diantha's rival?"
"Just a battle of this level is already a peak battle?"
"It must be because of the glory of fighting with Champion Diantha."
"Maybe it just serves to open Ash's eyes to the world."
The audience was talking.
Originally, they didn't think Ash could beat Diantha.
After a few rounds of fighting...
It was completely expected.
For this reason, the fluctuations were not particularly large.
The champion Trainer and the guests in the guest seats all thought so.
"If this level is already the peak battle, then I don't have any expectations for the subsequent highlights."
Master Chibana said coldly.
With such strength...
How could he defeat me and become the eighth master?
Chibana was still quite unconvinced.
...
In the picture—
[Greninja and Ash have tried their best.]
[But they were still ruthlessly crushed by Miss Diantha.]
[Just when they thought the battle was over, suddenly...]
[Ash's strategy allowed Greninja to finally attack Gardevoir once.]
[And with such a smooth attack, one person and one Pokémon immediately entered the Contest Condition.]
[Both sides sensed each other's strong desire to win.]
"Greninja, we can become even more... even more powerful, come on!!"
[The bond index fluctuated immediately until it reached synchronization!!!]
[Instantly, Greninja's pupils turned red, and a surging water tornado swept over his body!!!]
