The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"The second Pokémon that Ash sent out is Melmetal. What kind of battle will it bring us? We're really looking forward to it!" Shi Kuang said excitedly.

No one expected that the final would start with a battle of mythical beasts.

Level 2 Divine Silver Companion Beast VS Mythical Beast Melmeta.

Professor Oak became even more interested in this, and he recited senryu poems off the top of his head:

“Here I recite a poem: gold coins and silver coins will always find their home, Meilu Meta.”

Gladio was also taken aback, but he felt more excited than anything else.

“Meruma, is that it? That’s interesting.”

While he was pondering, Ash had already launched an attack.

"Melu Meta, unleash the Steel Fist Double Strike."

Melmetta began to spin its body rapidly, like a spinning top.

Its already formidable power was further amplified by centrifugal force.

After charging up its energy, it extends its arms, which can extend and retract at will.

It swung its hands, throwing the tires that served as its hands like tossing a yo-yo, and launched a series of attacks at Silent Companion.

"It's coming, Silvally, get out of the way!" Gladion shouted hastily, sensing the threat of the attack.

Silvally responded quickly to Gladion's command, leaping into the air to dodge the first punch.

However, he was hit by a second punch as soon as he landed, and was sent flying more than ten meters away. His claws scratched two claw marks more than ten meters long on the ground before he barely managed to stop himself.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Steel Fist Double Strike: not only is it powerful, but it also delivers two strikes.

Even if you're imposing and have a belt, it won't work. If your belt breaks the first time, I'll kill you the second time.

Moreover, this skill has a chance to cause the opponent to fall into a state of fear, which is excellent.

"Steel Fist Double Strike! It ignited the entire arena! Silvally could barely stand, that move was incredibly powerful!" Shi Kuang shouted excitedly, gripping the microphone tightly.

"What! The power is incredible!" Gladio exclaimed.

"Well done, Melmetta, keep attacking, use Steel Fist Double Strike again!" Ash laughed.

"Don't even think about it, Silver Companion, unleash the Blade of Air."

Melmetta unleashed its Steel Fist Double Strike once more, but this time Silvally was on guard and leaped into the air, launching several white blades at Melmetta as it charged up, attempting to interrupt its attack.

However, the several white blades were easily blocked by Melmetta, who was charging up her power. Then she threw two punches at the same time, but unfortunately, both were dodged by the agile Silvally.

"Its power is indeed strong, but if it misses, it's nothing to worry about."

The Siamese fighting beast approached it while dodging its attacks.

"Next time, just hit it. Melmetta, use Steel Fist Double Strike again."

Ash is also using a wheelchair-style attack; even if he misses, it doesn't matter. The one who needs to be worried right now isn't Ash, but Gladion.

Silvally's Air Blade and Tear Claw moves were ineffective against the Steel-type Melmetal.

Furthermore, Melmet's Attack was halved due to burns, and the Intimidate and Threaten attacks further reduced it by 2, leaving it with only a quarter of its original Attack. Its Special Attack was also reduced by 1 from Threaten attacks. Defensively, Melmet is now invincible.

On the offensive end, Melmetal is equally invincible. Not only is its Steel Fist Double Strike incredibly powerful, but even if Melmetal stops attacking, Silvally will die from the burn damage.

Gladion currently has only two ways to break out of this predicament: either replace the Pokémon or switch the storage disc to change the type of Silvally.

With unparalleled offensive and defensive capabilities, Ash is currently enjoying a very relaxed lifestyle.

Anyway, I just mindlessly spam the Steel Fist Double Strike.

Sigh, these magical beasts are really useful! Why didn't I discover this sooner? They're so fun to use!

This is only because it's a Mythical Pokémon versus a Legendary Pokémon. Wouldn't it be even more exciting if this were used against the opponent's regular Pokémon?

I think I can understand how Darkrai managed to defeat all eight gyms in the Sinnoh region back then using only one Darkrai.

And the exhilarating feeling of fighting your way from the first round to the semifinals in the Sinnoh League Lily of the Valley Conference, only to need to pull out a second Pokémon when you encounter yourself.

The Silvally dodged left and right, avoiding the Steel Fist Double Strike, and then seized the opportunity to leap into the air, taking the position above Melmetta.

"Now, Sildenafil, unleash Tear Claw!"

“Melumeta, use the tile-breaking technique.”

"What! A Sildenafil!"

This tearing claw attack was like scraping Melmetta's skin—or rather, it was an understatement. Whether it could even reduce Melmetta's health to double digits was questionable.

Not to mention that before the Tear Claw could even land, Silvally was already sent flying by Melmetal's outstretched fist. The Fighting-type energy condensed in Melmetal's fist was incredibly effective against Silvally, and the damage from that move was explosive!

"That's amazing," Lillie said.

"I really didn't expect Melmet to be so much more powerful after evolving," Kachi said.

“It’s become quite reliable,” Mao said.

"If we keep playing like this, we might win," Mamane said.

"Maybe we can win, Lionheart!"

As Shui Lian spoke, she made a hook gesture with her hand at her chin, gradually adopting the demeanor of Principal Oki.

"Steel Fist Double Strike combined with Brick Break, looks a bit tricky," Gladion said through gritted teeth.

Without hesitation, he reached into the small pouch at his waist, pulled out an orange attribute storage disc, shouted, and tossed it to his Sildenafil.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, I will naturally repay you with a fist for a fist. Using the battle storage disc, I will inhabit your body with my fierce spirit!"

The driver in Silvally's head then activated, receiving the battle storage disc.

An orange attribute aura suddenly shone from its body, its originally gleaming claws were now stained with fighting patterns, and faint fist shadows appeared along the edges of its silvery-white fur.

The wings on its head, the fish tail behind its rear, and most of its body turned orange, and it switched to a fighting attribute.

"Silver Companion, move left and right first, then charge in front of it and unleash a multi-attribute attack."

"I never expected that Silvally would switch to a fighting type!"

"Look, the Silver Companion's fancy footwork, will Melmetana be able to catch its trail?" Shi Kuang exclaimed excitedly.

"Meruma, use your steel fist to double-tap and pull it in."

Melmetta quickly parried with both fists, but unfortunately, Silvally dodged it again.

After leaping into the air to dodge the attack, Silvally jumped down, using gravity to accelerate and unleash a multi-elemental attack that struck Merometal head-on with remarkable effectiveness.

It caused a very minor injury.
