The ultimate clash!
Machinedramon's Infinity Cannon and the terrifying flames Groudon had charged to their absolute limit erupted at the same time.
The entire world trembled and roared.
Blue Dragon-type energy surged forth.
Under the boost of Machinedramon's own trait, the move's power was amplified even further.
The cannon fire shot from those two massive cannons was simply like the most terrifying weapon of destruction.
Terrifying energy fluctuations scattered through the entire space.
The deep-blue laser columns tore space itself apart completely.
This was Machinedramon's all-out strike.
All the energy in his body had been poured completely into this attack.
On the other side, Groudon's flames had also reached an exaggerated extreme.
Scorching heat waves swept forward like seawater.
The terrifying high temperature warped even the air it burned.
The air across the entire space was completely dried out, forming an exaggerated vacuum zone.
The entire mountain range of Dragon Valley was torn apart by the heat waves from the two attacks.
Only the mountaintop beneath Shiko and Himeko's feet remained unchanged.
The Dragon-type Pokémon living throughout the mountain range caught the scent of danger and hurried over to Shiko's mountaintop to take shelter.
With Shiko, a top First-tier Legendary, holding the area.
His aura could easily annihilate the aftershocks of these two attacks.
Shiko's expression was calm.
He quietly watched the great battle between the two Pokémon.
At this moment.
Himeko, standing beside him, was already too shocked for words.
The scene of MetalSeadramon fighting alone and defeating Lugia had already completely shattered her old worldview.
It had also let her feel, once again, where Shiko's true strength lay.
And now.
Watching Machinedramon fight Groudon to a standstill.
The feeling in Himeko's heart became even stronger.
One was already powerful enough!
She had never expected there to be two of them.
And there was actually another one with First-tier Legendary combat power.
This…
As long as he was willing.
He could completely become the ruler of this planet!
Terrifying beyond words!
Boom!
A tremendous sound rang out.
Piercing sonic booms echoed endlessly through the sky.
The terrifying energy collision sent aftershocks sweeping wildly through the entire space.
The earth, which had long since been loosened and softened, was now completely ground into powder.
Winds rose from every direction.
Storms swept through.
They covered every line of sight completely.
They also completely concealed the figures of Machinedramon and Groudon.
How were the two of them now?
Himeko anxiously looked around.
She could not wait to know the result.
Wind and sand rose everywhere.
Shiko's expression remained calm.
With a wave of his hand.
He slashed out with one claw.
A massive storm surged forth, instantly dispersing all the sand and dust.
Roar!!!
A tremendous roar rang out.
Within the scattered smoke and dust, a tall and burly red figure appeared.
It was Groudon!
His red armor was covered in deep cracks.
He was covered in wounds from head to toe, looking as if he was on the verge of collapse.
But even so.
He still stood up tenaciously.
Opposite him.
Machinedramon had already collapsed on the ground.
It seemed that the winner of this battle was Groudon.
However.
His victory also looked tragic.
He no longer had the strength to continue fighting.
Seeing this, Shiko nodded inwardly.
He was already satisfied with Machinedramon's performance.
But in the next second.
The situation changed again.
After that roar.
The remaining pressure around Groudon suddenly vanished.
Like a collapsing mountain, it crumbled away in an instant.
Immediately afterward.
His body broke down where he stood.
Then, with a boom.
He crashed heavily to the ground.
His aura became weak.
It looked as if he had completely lost the ability to battle.
Crack, crack!
Immediately afterward.
On the other side of the ruins.
That mechanical dragon slowly stood up.
Roar!!
With a roar.
A metallic dragon cry echoed throughout the entire space.
The silver-white alloy dragon slowly rose on the other side.
His alloy armor was covered in terrifying wounds.
He looked like he might collapse at any moment.
But even under that frightening state of near-collapse.
The roar he released was so high and fierce.
So filled with soaring battle intent and joy.
He won!?
On the mountaintop.
Shiko looked at this reversed situation.
A smile suddenly appeared on his calm face.
This outcome had exceeded his expectations.
He had never expected that, after this earth-shaking collision, the victor would actually be Machinedramon!
As expected!
The Pokémon he created were far too powerful!
"Very good! Go rest."
Shiko looked at Machinedramon and transmitted the message to him.
Roar!!
Machinedramon nodded.
Then he slowly disappeared at the end of their line of sight.
"So strong…"
On the mountaintop.
Himeko murmured to herself.
Machinedramon's performance was simply too astonishing.
He had actually defeated Groudon in a direct contest of strength!
That performance once again deeply shocked her.
To personally create two beings with First-tier Legendary combat power.
Shiko's authority had already become unimaginably high.
Forget this planet.
Even across the entire universe, he was an existence second only to Arceus.
Too strong!
As expected!
Her intuition as someone who had been reborn would not be wrong.
In the near future.
There would definitely be a great battle between Shiko and Arceus!
Just as she was thinking this.
The mountaintop shook once again.
The sound of a violent earthquake rang out.
At the end of her line of sight.
A towering figure was walking over on foot.
It was an incomparably majestic figure.
Its physique was even more imposing than Groudon's had been.
At a rough glance from far away.
It was at least thirty meters tall.
That exaggerated size and yellow body made it look like a mountain slowly walking toward them.
On that mountain-like body.
Trees, flowers, and other vegetation could be clearly seen.
If it had not been moving.
Everyone would have thought that this was not a Pokémon.
But a mountain brimming with life.
In truth, however.
This slowly moving colossal being before them was one of the First-tier Legendaries.
A powerful First-tier Legendary that had obtained part of Arceus's authority of creation.
Regigigas!!
Regigigas, the First-tier Legendary, had appeared!
The atmosphere that had only just calmed down once again became tense.
Himeko clenched her fists.
Subconsciously, she looked up at Shiko beside her.
This time.
He should be fighting personally, right?
With Shiko's strength and combat power.
Dealing with Regigigas should not be a problem.
But in the next second.
When she met Shiko's calm gaze.
A strange thought suddenly surfaced in Himeko's heart.
Could it be…
No way…
Did he still have another Pokémon that he could send out to resist Regigigas?
Just as that thought appeared in her mind.
Within the lush forest in the distance…
