Ending Snipe!
The powerful energy of this move.
Was something even Ho-Oh, despite being in a defensive stance, could not withstand!
The massive energy triggered an explosion.
The terrifying impact.
Scattered Ho-Oh's wing feathers all over the air.
Even more horrifying.
Two bloody holes were blasted directly through his colorful wings.
The energy of the laser beams pierced straight through him.
And on his white abdomen.
It also left terrifying wounds.
Kreee!
Ho-Oh let out a cry of pain.
He looked at Piedmon, who was hovering in midair.
His eyes were filled with fury and caution.
He could no longer remember how long it had been.
Since he had suffered such injuries.
This opponent before him.
Was even stronger than he had expected.
That unfathomable feeling.
And the powerful, ominous aura of darkness and ghosts radiating from him.
Caused Ho-Oh's battle intent to soar to its peak.
Enduring the pain, Ho-Oh beat his wings.
The air currents he stirred up lifted his body even higher.
Pure white, sacred feathers.
Fell around him as if drifting down from the sun above and behind his head.
They carried a holy aura.
And circled around him.
A rich, intense aura of life covered his body from head to toe.
The terrifying injuries on Ho-Oh's body.
Healed rapidly in an extremely short time.
Recover.
As expected of a First-tier Legendary said to possess the power of resurrection.
That healing power.
Made Shiko feel quite envious as he watched.
In midair.
Ho-Oh and Piedmon faced each other.
The momentum of both sides climbed higher and higher.
After reaching an extreme peak.
It was as if arcs of electricity and sparks of flame flashed between them.
Then, the battle.
Was once again on the verge of erupting!
Kreee!
A high-pitched cry cut through the silent sky.
Boom!
Ho-Oh's body.
Instantly erupted with blazing crimson flames.
In that form.
He was like a phoenix reborn from fire!
His figure paused in midair for an instant.
Then!
Like a dazzling meteor.
He traced a gorgeous red arc through the sky.
And instantly rushed toward Piedmon!
Sky Attack!
An extremely powerful Flying-type move.
Ordinary Pokémon.
Needed a long period of charging before they could release this move.
But!
For Ho-Oh, a First-tier Legendary, there was no need for any so-called charging time.
The Flying-type energy inside his body was already abundant enough for him to release it directly.
In fact.
He even wrapped it in powerful Fire-type energy.
Pushing the damage of this move to the absolute limit!
"Hmph!"
Piedmon's lips curved slightly upward.
Looking at Ho-Oh, who was rushing over like a meteor.
He revealed an expression of disdain and contempt.
He pressed both hands downward toward the space below.
In an instant.
The entire world changed.
The space that had been filled with the glow of the setting sun and the searing heat of flames.
In the blink of an eye.
Transformed into an unknown space, dark and gloomy.
This!
Was Piedmon's absolute domain, created by him alone!
Masks Square!
The momentum of Sky Attack paused for an instant.
But only for an instant.
Ho-Oh noticed the change in space.
However, right now.
All his focus was on this strike that he was certain would land.
The burning crimson meteor rushed forward!
In the blink of an eye, it arrived right before Piedmon!
