Atop the mountain peak.
Shiko stood there, his azure dragon eyes gazing into the distance.
There.
The fierce battle between Puppetmon and Regigigas was still continuing.
With the gunpowder's enhancement, the heavy hammer's power had already reached its limit.
Under this blow, even mountains could be smashed into powder.
Puppetmon pressed his advantage with another hammer strike and brought it crashing down with full force.
Regigigas raised his hand.
He forcibly caught the hammer head-on.
Boom!!
With the explosive blast.
His body suddenly sank into the ground beneath his feet.
In the next second.
The attack froze in place.
The two Pokémon began a contest of strength.
At the same time.
Regigigas's aura was rising step by step.
After a brief warm-up.
He had slowly entered his optimal state!
Puppetmon could clearly feel the power coming through the alloy hammer in his hands growing stronger and stronger.
So strong that he almost could not keep his grip on it!
Bang!!
The revolver cylinder turned.
Another roar rang out.
Gun smoke spread everywhere.
The power of the bullet-powered heavy hammer increased by another degree.
Buzz!!
A dull sound rang out.
The pressure, which had suddenly increased, made the hand Regigigas was using to hold down the hammer lift upward by the slightest bit.
But only the slightest bit.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!!
The cylinder spun wildly.
All six bullets in the revolver were emptied.
Black gun smoke spread through the air.
The power of Puppetmon's hammer strike had been enhanced to the limit.
Crack!!
The ground was covered in cracks.
Under the immense pressure.
Half of Regigigas's body had already sunk into the ground.
Even so.
He still endured this attack!
And!
Now that he had fully entered his peak state!
He began to counterattack!
His three thick fingers, each as broad as a barrel.
Normal-type energy swirled and gathered around them.
It merged with his own immense physical strength.
Then.
Those three fingers clamped down hard on the alloy hammer.
This move!
Was Regigigas's signature move, Crush Grip!
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out.
In the next second.
A large number of cracks appeared across Puppetmon's giant hammer!
What outrageous strength!
Shiko's pupils shrank slightly as he sighed inwardly.
Puppetmon's hammer.
Although its material was inferior to the Chrome Digizoid on his own body.
Was still an extremely tough metal.
Yet Regigigas could crack it barehanded.
This strength.
Shiko could not help but look at it differently.
The crisp sound of shattering.
Also entered Puppetmon's ears clearly.
He hurriedly gripped the hammer handle tightly.
Trying to pull it free.
However.
Before Regigigas's strength.
His struggle produced little effect.
After exhausting every ounce of strength he had.
In the end.
At the price of one-third of the alloy heavy hammer shattering, he barely managed to pull it free at the last possible moment.
Immediately after.
Regigigas, who had risen from the pit.
Began a frenzied attack.
He stomped down heavily.
Violent power transmitted into the ground.
After the rumble.
The earth began trembling wildly.
The aftershock of the vibration.
Struck Puppetmon, damaging him.
At the same time.
It also made him lose his center of gravity and balance, causing his massive body to sway heavily.
In that opening.
Regigigas seized the chance.
He clenched his fist and charged straight forward.
