Chapter 171: Z Skill! Comedic? Terrifying!

Under everyone's gaze,

Ash put on the z wristband, preparing for the first attempt at Pikachu z.

Ash took a deep breath, fingertips lightly touching the z pure crystal.

"Pikachu, Pika-pika deadly strike!"

"Pika-pika~"

Ash had already said to use Volt Attack to guide the z skill, so Pishen used Volt Attack again.

Blue-green lightning power surged from Pishen's body, and Pikachu unleashed Volt Attack once more,

Because they were anticipating the z skill,

Throughout, they failed to draw out the z power, causing Pishen to lose focus,

Finally, the skill's power also became scattered, and the test result became 175,000 combat power.

Facing everyone's doubtful gazes,

Ash sighed, it seemed they had to perform the corresponding guiding motion.

"Pikachu!"

Ash waved at Pikachu, signalling it to come back.

"Pika-pi~"

After using two high-damage recoil moves in a row, absorbing a total of two-thirds of the damage, Pikachu came running back, already drenched in sweat and panting.

Ash looked up toward a certain spot in the sky,

"Healing Wave!"

As the invisible Latios unleashed Healing Wave, a pale green glow showered down,

Those bathed in the Healing Wave all felt a refreshing ease; their waists no longer ached, their legs no longer hurt, and they comfortably narrowed their eyes.

Once the light faded, everyone's stamina had fully recovered to peak condition.

"Pika-pika~"

Pishen quickly flicked its ears, raised its arm, and gave Ash a thumbs-up,

turned around, faced the testing machine again, and made an expression of being ready to strike at any moment.

"Pikachu, follow my movements."

"Pika-pika~"

Ash pressed palms together, began swinging arms over the shoulders, gradually lowering to the waist,

Pikachu imitated,

its short arms raised overhead, palms pressed together, body swaying back and forth, on the verge of toppling, as if about to fall at any moment.

Finally, person and pet leapt high one after another,

right leg straightened, left leg kicked sideways, heel touching the ground, tiptoes raised, hands lifted to either side of the forehead, making a bunny-ear waving motion.

The person and mouse were utterly adorable,

This scene directly amused everyone.

"Puhahahaha!"

"I can't take it, what is Ash doing?!"

"This guiding move is too embarrassing!"

"I suddenly feel so cute, what's going on?!"

The women laughed together, supporting each other, unable to suppress their mirth.

Even Professor Da Mu, who had been mentally prepared, couldn't help but laugh.

Although they knew it would be hilarious, seeing it still made them unable to hold back laughter.

Among the crowd, only Hanako, Ash's mother, eyes lit up, feeling a new path had opened.

Feeling that if Ash were dressed in a girl's skirt and danced, it would surely be splendid, wondering why they hadn't thought of it before.

However…

As the z power was drawn from the z pure crystal and flowed into Pikachu's body, everyone quickly could no longer laugh.

Ash paid no heed to the outside clamor,

embraced Pikachu, whose body surged with endless golden and blue-green lightning, and flung it forward into the air.

The airborne Pikachu seemed to have learned to fly,

hovering in midair, its body like a car tire, began to spin rapidly.

Its trained, transformed blue-green current and the golden lightning emanating from the z pure crystal merged, lightning coiled around Pikachu's exterior, growing denser yet condensing without dispersing, the lightning's reach always confined to the size of the tire.

Just the stirring wind vortex it kicked up made people's faces sting, some unable to open their eyes.

This scene only became bearable when the invisible Latios released a psychic barrier.

In the storm,

air currents and lightning swirled around Ash, clothes snapping, muscles bulging, Ash threw a forward punch full of violent force.

"This is… our all-out strike! Pika-pika deadly strike!!"

At this moment, no one wanted to laugh; everyone felt a hot blood surging in their hearts, their eyes blazing with light.

In the storm, the airborne Pikachu instantly became like an atomic bomb shooting straight at the testing machine.

"Swish!"

Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes,

the next moment Pikachu's body had already landed on the testing machine, and a blinding flash instantly filled everyone's vision, forcing them to shut their eyes.

"Boom!"

The dazzling yellow light beam and light mushroom shot up into the sky, directly enveloping the entire battlefield covered by Latias' psychic power.

The scorching terrifying energy surged, destroying everything, burning it all to nothing.

A column of light shot up into the sky,

Zizzle!

The frantic impact struck the psychic shield that Latias had condensed above,

Crack!

The psychic barrier set up by the level 144 secondary god Latias unexpectedly shattered under the shockwave of the attack.

Boom!

The golden-yellow electric current could no longer be stopped, easily piercing the ceiling above the hotel battlefield.

And undiminished, it shot up into the night sky.

The bright yellow light column almost instantly attracted the attention of all residents and visitors of Ka3 Na2 Zi1 Shi4.

"What is that?"

"Omigosh!"

"Holy shit, I was scared to death!"

"What on earth is this?"

Walking down the street, the two men who had just arrived from Jia1 Le4 Er3 by special flight to Abundant Source exchanged glances, both looking astonished.

"An attack of this level... Dan Emperor, can you and Charizard after Extreme Gigantification achieve this?"

"I'm afraid it can't be done, Chairman."

The young man showed a bitter smile.

"Come out, Charizard, let's go take a look."

……

At the same time,

At the scene, as time passed, the energy gradually subsided, and everyone finally saw the state of the battlefield isolated by the strong light and Latias' psychic barrier.

The soil of the entire battlefield seemed to have evaporated into thin air, sinking as much as five or six meters, and this point was most severely damaged where the testing equipment was located.

The gaze locked onto the testing equipment,

The highest-spec testing equipment, which had never had any problems until now, is now completely unusable.

Scorch marks and various dents cover the machine's casing, and overall it was almost cut in half.

It had almost changed from a vertical one (1) to a greater-than sign (>).

And when everyone looked at the flashing numbers on the machine, they all gasped in shock.

1,114,514!

1,110,000 combat power?

Everyone gasped in shock,

Holy shit shit shit shit shit!

What a holy shit!

An increase nearly more than ten times that of Da Wu and Shiny Mega Metagross!

Moreover, this is without considering the testing equipment's operating rules, where the later it gets, the harder it is to obtain a score.

In other words, even if you copied and pasted ten Da Wu and Shiny Mega Metagross acting together, you could absolutely not reach this number.

Even a hundred Shiny Mega Metagross might not be able to output 1,110,000 combat power.

This is the same principle as the Greninja's acrobatics,

Although the skill's power is merely doubled, the actual power exerted far exceeds double.

The upper limit of the Z skill is truly terrifying to the extreme!

The more so, the more Xi Luo Na, Ka Lu Na i, and Da Wu feel their eyes light up, after all, they too can try to obtain the Z pure crystal.
