Chapter 1451: Final Moment

"Goo-roar!"

Dust drifted, lingering around Aggron. The silver heavy armor shone brightly in the sunlight, and the thick horns slanted toward the sky, showing sharp cold light.

With the situation progressing to the present, Ash didn't have much chance of winning, and Mawile's Baton Pass made countless people sigh.

How to fight?

Can it still fight?

Not to mention that Pikachu had fought Hydreigon for a long time before.

Even though the animation version 【Regenerator】 had been on the field for more than half an hour, it was very difficult to let it recover to 100% status.

Not to mention that Aggron here inherited Mawile's "legacy" and occupied the first opportunity for no reason.

The only thing worth rejoicing was that Magnet Rise didn't seem to be inherited by Aggron. After all, this move wasn't like a buff move, it had a time limit.

But even so, the audience's expectations for Ash were still not high.

Sweep all six?

The other way around was about the same.

The Pokémon world was by no means a world where strength was truth, but the power All Baimu displayed was truly convincing, making everyone unconsciously discuss the reason why he was so powerful.

As a regional Champion, All Baimu was clearly a big chunk stronger than the others, which couldn't help but remind people of the former Leon.

Yes.

The former Leon.

Due to the six-to-zero feat in the semifinals, the undefeated King of Galar had completely exited the current version, and now the version was called the undefeated legend of Orre.

The host, under the atmosphere of the arena, said: "The final round of the Masters Eight finals is in progress! The current situation is five to zero! So next, what kind of match will All Baimu and Ash present?"

Under the gaze of countless eyes, All Baimu pulled out the pendant on his chest.

Hum!

The brilliant Key Stone released a strong light, forming an echo with the light released by Aggron, and the lightning-like heart-link intersected in mid-air, and the light of evolution symbolizing miracles guided the giant beast's appearance to undergo amazing changes!

"Goo-roar..."

Thud!

The Mega Evolved giant beast stepped forward, and the heavy and majestic momentum instantly swept across the arena, more domineering and heavy than any Pokémon before it.

The light dimmed, and Mega Aggron's massive body slowly appeared. A larger area of silver-white steel armor covered its whole body, the metal horns on its head were sharp and upright, its limbs were thick like pillars, and its giant tail was surrounded by multiple steel rings, shaped like a moving steel fortress, standing steadily in the arena.

Its pair of lake-blue eyes had no emotions, only cold fighting will.

Momentum...

Completely different!

It was like a different Pokémon from the Aggron in the semifinals!

Many people with keen senses caught the changes in the giant beast at this moment.

If the Terastallized Aggron in the semifinals was like solid earth, letting the opponent destroy it without shaking.

Then the Mega Aggron at this moment was like a moving war machine, both indestructible like an iron wall and sharp and unstoppable like a steel spear!

There was no doubt that the current Aggron was the complete form!

In the three years since All Baimu obtained the Key Stone, its fighting style, defensive means, and everything else had revolved around Mega Evolution, and its understanding of this power was deepening all the time, completely comparable to Steven's Shiny Metagross.

More importantly, the first Pokémon he sent out in his first battle with Ash was Mega Aggron.

Use an old friend to present the finale of the Masters Eight finals for Ash and Pikachu!

"Sure enough, it's Mega Aggron?"

Ash didn't have any surprise, only joy and excitement, "Since that's the case, we can't lose either! Go! Pikachu! Thunderbolt!"

"Pika—"

Pikachu jumped up, patted the electric sacs on both sides of its cheeks, "Chu!!"

Crackle!

As the electric current flickered, the thick golden lightning, like a violent golden giant dragon, crossed most of the arena and bombarded Mega Aggron fiercely!

Where the galloping lightning passed, the air was scorched and made a harsh sound, the ground was electrified and white smoke rose, and the rubble on the ground trembled slightly. The momentum was exceptionally strong, and it was also filled with the indomitable belief of Ash and Pikachu.

And when All Baimu saw Pikachu jump up, although he clearly understood the opponent's idea, he used Dig for the first time instead of Metal Burst to resist head-on.

"Goo-roar."

Mega Aggron let out a low roar and dug open the ground at high speed.

Swish, swish, swish!

Rubble and mud flew everywhere, and a deep, dark giant dirt hole was quickly formed.

Mega Aggron's massive body took the opportunity to drill into the dirt pit, brushing past the Thunderbolt that Pikachu had just fired.

Boom!

The fierce electric current bombarded the earth, shaking up large pieces of choking smoke, and making the rubble fly everywhere.

Seeing this, Ash immediately became vigilant, "Be careful! Pikachu!"

"Pi!"

Pikachu responded, its ears, known as the Legendary Pokémon sensing radar, stood high, and it stared closely at every subtle change in the ground with Ash.

However, All Baimu's plan was never a sneak attack.

"Sand Tomb."

The moment the command was issued, the ground beneath Pikachu's feet trembled violently. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ash immediately opened his mouth: "Quick Attack!"

"Pi!"

Pikachu's legs exerted force, and white light instantly lit up around its body, its figure disappearing in place like a blurry golden afterimage.

The next moment.

The position it had just been in collapsed suddenly, and the sky-high sand and gravel flew toward the sky, forming an airtight sand-dust barrier. The earth sank into a funnel-shaped deep pit, constantly rotating like a whirlpool in the sea.

【Heaven and Earth Sand Tomb】!

Mega Aggron hadn't used this move for a long time. Most opponents didn't need it to control, and those that needed control were very hard to control.

Using it to deal with Pikachu now was very suitable.

Even if it dodged it with Quick Attack just now, Sand Tomb would continue, occupying part of the arena space and restricting Pikachu's movement.

Ash clearly saw All Baimu's plan, and his expression was solemn, and he couldn't help but sweat nervously from his temples.

The host shouted: "Sand Tomb missed! But it seems to have become a trap that Pikachu can't easily approach!"

And soon, Mega Aggron from underground followed suit, tracking Pikachu's trail to create a huge Sand Tomb pit and sandstorm again.

The sandstorm whirlwind on both sides rolled Pikachu's body, and the change in the environment had a huge impact on Pikachu's output.

Ash didn't want to let this situation continue to develop, and while his thoughts were flowing, he had already thought of a way to crack it.

"Pikachu! Step on the sand and jump to a high place, then use Electroweb to suppress them!"

"Pika? Pi!"

Pikachu only had a short suspicion before quickly understanding Ash's idea, and ran toward a wildly swirling sand without hesitation.

Then, amidst the cheers of countless people, it jumped up without fear, relying on the rising force and the force of the jump to quickly reach the high altitude of the arena.

Its figure twisted, the electric sacs on both sides of its cheeks released with all its might, golden lightning gathered an electric ball at its tail, and suddenly, with its flying swing, it intertwined into a dense and tough electric web.

The electric web was like a huge golden barrier, not only easily suppressing the swirling sand, but also shrouding the sand pit, forming a bridge like a spider web, allowing the falling Pikachu to land on it easily.

It wouldn't fall into the sand pit.

The whole arena was in an uproar!

The host exclaimed: "Ash cracked Sand Tomb with Electroweb! Truly worthy of being a Trainer full of unexpectedness!"

Leon was always looking forward to Ash's unexpectedness, while All Baimu was exceptionally vigilant.

Now in the finals, he really showed it.

All Baimu had no temper about this. Although in his opinion Sand Tomb could actually tear the Electroweb, in reality, it was Electroweb that suppressed Sand Tomb.

It's just that Electroweb could only manage the sky and the ground, not underground.

The sand pit was still there.

"Do it again!"

Ash tried to solve the second sand pit by repeating the old trick, but All Baimu naturally wouldn't let him do it so smoothly.

"Flash Cannon!"

When Pikachu rode the flying sand to high altitude again and suppressed it with Electroweb, Mega Aggron, located at the core of Sand Tomb, suddenly opened its giant mouth, gathering silver particles at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, a bright silver giant projectile was formed, the shining Steel-type energy was compressed to the limit, and accompanied by a low hum, it turned into a thick white silver light beam and shot out, bombarding Pikachu, which was falling with the Electroweb, straight on!

"Pi!?"

Pikachu was shocked, and decisively threw out the Electroweb at its tail, making it collide with the light beam in mid-air.

Boom!!

A violent explosion sounded instantly, and smoke clouds rose in mid-air. Flying sand, silver light, and electric current all gathered in it, and the mighty shockwave rolled in all directions.

In the smoke, a small figure broke away from it and landed steadily on the ground.

"Pi..."

Pikachu panted, but its condition was still okay.

In fact, in terms of 【Attacking instead of defending】, how could Ash be any worse?

Whether it was the Counter Shield or the Meteor Beam seal, they could all be counted as attacking instead of defending, but it just couldn't return it.

Reducing and wearing down the power was more than enough.

Many times when encountering moves and situations that were difficult to parry, Electroweb could help Ash and Pikachu, which was also an important reason why high-power Electric-type moves like Thunder, Volt Tackle, and Electro Ball had retired from the environment.

Extreme attack couldn't help Ash very well, exerting his trait of being able to react on the spot.

Electroweb was the opposite.

"Well done Pikachu!" Ash was very excited to achieve his goal, and continued to shout: "Start the counterattack! Thunderbolt!"

"Pika—"

Pikachu released lightning from its electric sacs fiercely. The shining electric light illuminated the sky, instantly rising from its body, rushing toward Mega Aggron in the deep pit with a violent, destructive, and crushing momentum.

It

All Baimu spoke: "Protect."

Hum!

A glowing blue light shield rose up on the surface of Super Aggron's body, facing the massive thunder and lightning head-on, letting the golden current strike fiercely against its steel armor.

Zzzzt—!!

The explosive current burst instantly, scattering lightning in all directions; the current spread rapidly along the surface of the light shield, crackling loudly, yet it could never penetrate this seemingly illusory shell, leaving only faint scorch marks on the surface.

Super Aggron in the sand pit remained motionless, as if this attack was nothing more than a trivial itch to it.

The host shouted: "Aggron perfectly absorbed the Thunderbolt! It has once again demonstrated astonishing defensive power!"

Inside the lounge.

Leon and Cynthia, however, wore expressions of surprise.

"It's actually not preparing to use Metal Burst?"

"What is this?"

According to their understanding of All Baimu and Super Aggron, when an opponent uses a powerful long-range attack, the move used to counter it would most likely be Metal Burst.

For one, it can be used to test the quality of the opponent's attack, and for another, it can apply pressure to the opponent through recoil damage.

Leon and Cynthia have both been pressured by it.

Seeing now that Ash didn't get to taste the brilliance of Metal Burst, they couldn't help but feel strange.

What is All Baimu thinking?

And only a small number of people who know him very well know that All Baimu isn't thinking about anything; he is just waiting.

"Heavy Slam."

Inside the arena, All Baimu raised his hand.

Super Aggron tilted its head back and let out a roar that shook the entire arena; its massive body was wrapped in a rich, deep silver light, and it shot into the sky in an extremely unscientific posture, casting a metallic halo that distorted the air with its back to the sun.

Hum!!

Ash shouted loudly: "Quick Attack, dodge it!"

How could he dare let Pikachu take the hit?

He had already tasted Super Aggron's Heavy Slam back when he was in school in Alola!

In an instant, silver radiance fell from the sky.

Boom—!!

The earth let out a deafening roar as if struck by a meteorite; terrifying cracks ran through the entire arena, the air was violently compressed, forming visible shockwaves, and the rubble was crushed into dust that filled the sky!

This move covered the entire arena!

No matter how fast Pikachu was, it couldn't actively leave the field, so it was blown away by the terrifying and brutal impact force halfway through.

It could be said there was no room for evasion.

"Pika—"

It let out a sharp cry.

Ash also screamed: "Pikachu!"

The host shouted excitedly: "Heavy Slam is full of power! The petite Pikachu can hardly withstand it!"

Wow!

The audience stands became noisy again.

Super Aggron's Heavy Slam certainly wasn't as terrifying as the previous Aura Sphere and Play Rough clash, nor as scary as the Dynamax move collision, but it still appeared full of vigor.

Especially with that exaggerated coverage, Pikachu, lacking the ability to move in the air, had absolutely no room to dodge!

All Baimu raised his hand: "Again—"

"Pikachu! Iron Tail!"

Ash ordered quickly.

Pikachu, blown away by the shockwave, turned back quickly and rushed toward Super Aggron, which had already begun to build up momentum; it leaped into the air, its lightning-shaped tail covered in a metallic luster, and the Iron Tail slashed over with a sharp, air-piercing sound.

Seeing this, Super Aggron directly changed the flow of energy, directing it all to its tail, causing the thick, ringed giant tail to collide fiercely with Pikachu's lightning tail!

Bang!

The result of this strike was naturally self-evident.

Pikachu's Iron Tail certainly reached the level of Behemoth Bash, but Super Aggron's Iron Tail was no less impressive; relying on its weight advantage, it easily flung the little thing away.

"Pi..."

Pikachu fell to the ground, showing a look of perseverance.

Ash looked solemn, took a deep breath, and without further hesitation, revealed his trump card, "Come on, Pikachu!"

Z-Move, activate!
