What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

Every contact is accompanied by an explosion of energy.

Mental Blade: Slice through your opponent with a materialized blade of the heart. Highly effective at hitting vital points.

Ambush to the vitals: Seize a fleeting opening to slash the opponent. Highly effective at hitting vital points.

It's the same type of move!

"Flying water shuriken!"

"thunder!"

"KOUGA!" Greninja then drew the Water Shuriken from its back and swung it without hesitation. The huge water shuriken sliced ​​through the air and flew against the wind.

643 An Unexpected Sneak Attack

"Whoosh!!" Golden lightning instantly erupted from Mewtwo's body, forming a powerful current.

This attack shattered the Water Shuriken with perfect accuracy. In the face of Mewtwo's lightning, the Water Shuriken was like fragile glass, instantly disintegrating into countless water droplets.

"Energy ball!"

"Shadow clone!"

"kouga!" "kouga!" "kouga!"

The emerald green energy ball missed Greninja, and a dozen Greninja immediately surrounded Mewtwo.

"Slice through with the sharpest mental blades!"

"Use a sneak attack to strike its vital points and eliminate it!"

Giovanni and Ash spoke almost simultaneously, and the two Pokémon clashed, with no clear winner.

This is it...this is exactly what I wanted!!

What kind of emotion is this? Why do I feel this way when I fight him?!

Sakaki clenched his hands tightly, feeling an urge to stay calm.

"What's wrong?! Sakaki, is this all you're capable of? You can even fight against a kid like me, the strongest one. You're not that impressive."

Xiao Zhi seems extremely excited right now.

It's not just about fighting, but also about avenging Xiangzi!

Xiao Zhi likes Xiangzi!

My favorite!

So I want to see her smile, protect Xiangzi, and see her happy.

And then spend your whole life battling Pokémon!

"You're quite the talker! Time's up! Mewtwo, foresee the future!!"

Sakaki couldn't stop smiling, and his mood became increasingly cheerful.

"Um?!"

Predict the future: Use a move to send a burst of psychic energy at your opponent.

Several beams of psychic energy, like falling meteors, plummeted from the sky at high speed, heading straight for Ash and Greninja.

Ash and Greninja raised their heads, their eyes fixed on the psychic energy.

Their reaction speed was astonishing. Ash and Greninja quickly dodged together, their psychic energy grazing past them without causing any harm.

Ash and Greninja, however, seemed unaffected; their movements were perfectly synchronized, and they shared the same field of vision.

It can see... it can see Ash's (Greninja's) field of vision.

The shared vision between the two allows Ash and Greninja to react more quickly.

Boom——!

The psychic energy struck the ground, causing a violent explosion.

The steel reinforcement of Rainbow Feather Tower was shattered in the explosion, causing the entire building to shake violently.

What does Pokémon mean to you?

"A tool for business."

"I see, Greninja, U-turn!" "Don't let Greninja get close, Mewtwo, Aura Sphere!"

Despite the intensity of the battle, Ash and Giovanni's expressions remained unchanged.

This is a life-or-death battle, a final reckoning for both of them.

Padauk, Garchomp, Alola, Mt. Rainbow, Lugia, Tree of Beginning!

Everything will come down to this!

Ash's era is over!

From the battle just now, Giovanni could see that Mewtwo was at a disadvantage in close combat.

Logically speaking, Mewtwo should be stronger than Greninja in every aspect.

However, Ash's Greninja has faster reflexes, physical attack, and speed, all of which surpass Mewtwo's.

Giovanni: If Greninja gets close to me in this battle, I'll be in trouble!

At the same time, Giovanni is missing the most important thing!

That's the deep affection I have for Pokémon!

Mewtwo didn't trust Giovanni at all, so Giovanni was naturally unable to unleash Mewtwo's full power.

Unless he shuts down the Pokémon's emotions, turning them into soulless fighting machines.

Even Mewtwo himself is playing Giovanni.

Where am I? Who am I? Who brought me here?

What am I living for?

It can be heard... Through the waveguide fully open, the little AI can hear Mewtwo's voice.

The cloned Pokémon has questions about its own existence.

Currently, Mewtwo is merely being used, manipulated by Giovanni, and treated as a mere tool.

In that case, I'll save you, Mewtwo!

In this battle, I will defeat you! I will save you!

Satoshi knew that Giovanni would not give him a chance to receive therapy.

Then just beat Mewtwo up and make it obey!

Mewtwo, Misty!

White mist appeared around Mewtwo, and Greninja moved quickly and rushed in front of Mewtwo.

"Spiritual Blade!"

"Haa!!" Mewtwo instantly unleashed dazzling psychic energy, condensing it into two dazzling swords, which it wielded to launch a fierce attack on Greninja.

The sword flashed like lightning, swiftly passing by, and the doll of the substitute was reduced to fragments by the sword, scattered by the wind.

"substitute?!"

At that moment, Sakaki clenched his hands, sensing something was wrong.

He seemed to have unknowingly fallen into Ash's rhythm.

"There it is, Greninja, Shadow Sneak Attack!"

"Kouga!!"

The real Greninja had already silently circled behind Mewtwo, and then delivered a powerful kick to Mewtwo's abdomen, infused with Ghost-type energy.

"Ugh~~~~" This move caught Giovanni off guard. Mewtwo was greatly impacted, and its body was sent flying straight towards Ash's direction by the shockwave.

"Secret attack on key points!"

Ash's Greninja's attacks rained down on Mewtwo like a storm, each impact causing violent shocks and astonishing destructive power.

"Well..."

until...

call out!

Mewtwo teleported, escaping a sneak attack aimed at its vitals.

Having experienced unprecedented and intense damage, Mewtwo was inevitably puzzled by the power generated by the bond between Ash and Greninja.

Ash's Greninja is unlike any other combination it has encountered, making it exceptionally powerful.

Why?! Why is it so powerful?!

Mewtwo is a Pokémon cloned by humans using genetic material extracted from Mew's eyelash fossil.

Therefore, I don't understand the meaning of life... or anything in this world.

Mewtwo, acting on Giovanni's words, felt increasingly uncomfortable with its actions.

"Greninja Frog, Water Shuriken!"

"Mewtwo, Psychic Breaker!"

Ash and Giovanni locked eyes, their burning fighting spirit ignited.

The two Pokémon immediately sprang into action.

that is...

"Right there, Aggron, unleash a beam cannon on the ground where Pikachu is!"

Just as Ash and Giovanni were fully focused, another male voice rang out, attracting their attention.

"Pikachu?!!"

At that very moment, the ground suddenly exploded, and Pikachu panicked and fell from the sky, its figure tracing a desperate arc in the air.

Even the other Pokémon didn't have time to react. When fighting Giovanni's Pokémon, they had to be completely focused, and they really didn't expect to be ambushed at this moment.

644 Pikachu, I like you

"Pikachu!!!"

At that moment, Ash didn't hesitate at all. He followed closely behind, leaping down from the air and rushing towards the Pokémon that was about to fall.

"Well..."

Time seemed to freeze in that instant. Ash's gaze was resolute as he reached out his hands toward Pikachu. The wind whistled in his ears, and the world spun beneath his feet.

"Ash?!"

Su Shi, who had ridden a Salamence at full speed from afar and was observing through a monocular telescope, saw this scene and instinctively knelt down on the Salamence.

"KOUGA——!!!"

Greninja hurriedly stretched out its scarf-like tongue to rescue Ash and Pikachu.

"Steel Crow, Steel Wing!" "Arbok, Thunder Fang!"

Unfortunately... it was too late. Team Rocket's Götz, Dr. Syranu, and various minions arrived at Rainbow Feather Tower, intending to support Giovanni.

Seeing Mewtwo being suppressed, Götz led a small team to support Giovanni.

As for the orders?!

I rebelled because I was protecting Boss Sakaki. Isn't that normal?

"Are you alright, Boss?"

Goz was eager to receive praise from Sakaki.

"What are you doing?!"

At this moment, Sakaki's anger reached its peak.

"Pikachu..."

At this critical moment, Ash successfully hugged Pikachu, shielding it tightly beneath him, and flipped himself over so that Pikachu was on top, taking the brunt of the fall.
