Chapter 568: Cynthia Version Lucario
"Lucario, the Key Stone is broken, we can only use Z-Moves."
Cynthia emerged from Will's embrace.
She and Will held hands, cautiously looking around.
Even just yesterday.
She wouldn't have dared to try using Mega Evolution or Z-Moves.
She wasn't sure if they could still use these two moves with their cracked bond.
But now.
She is certain.
They can use them.
"Cynthia, remember the ninja village legend we heard when we traveled in the Kalos region back then?"
"You mean, Bond Phenomenon?"
"I don't think two mere stones can bind the bond between us."
Will grinned, turning his head to look at Cynthia beside him and smiling.
Just like the Cherish Ball couldn't lock away my determination to save you.
"Mm."
Cynthia looked at Will's earnest eyes and nodded.
The two closed their eyes.
The two tightly held hands slightly shifted unknowingly.
Finally.
Fingers interlocked.
A sweet smile appeared on Cynthia's face, and Will's face also uncontrollably showed a somewhat shy expression.
But regardless.
They.
At this moment.
Were of one mind.
"Roar!!"
Giratina's roar sounded from above their heads.
Realizing that damn guy didn't pursue, it drilled out from the shadow space again, opening its mouth to bite the two lovebirds below.
Just right.
Take out two enemies at once.
Awesome!
Buzz—
A dazzling golden light that illuminated the entire spatial rift suddenly bloomed.
Giratina took a bite of the golden light, and was actually shocked back dozens of meters, finally just freezing in mid-air.
Dialga nearby was blasted flying by Darkrai.
Crashing heavily onto it.
And Giratina just casually swished its dragon tail, whipping Dialga flying, continuing to stare at the golden light below with a dumbfounded face.
The figures of Will and Cynthia bathed in the golden light both underwent changes!
The first to emerge from the golden light was Cynthia.
On her forehead appeared a pure black bow, resembling the appendages behind Lucario's head.
At the same time, a pair of dark red gloves appeared on her hands, made of an unknown material.
"This is..."
Cynthia raised her other hand, staring blankly at the blue fluorescent light on it.
She of course knew.
This is the light of Aura!
She could use Aura Power!
More accurately.
She could borrow Will's Aura Power!
Feeling this, Cynthia turned her head to look beside her. The golden light faded, and a super Lucario with black and gold as its main colors emerged.
Gold.
Is Cynthia's gold.
"I'm going in. With the Key Stone shattered, Garchomp's side might have been significantly affected. You go help her."
Will glanced at Cynthia beside him.
He didn't speak.
No need to speak.
The two were now two entities acting as one.
Able to know the thoughts in the other's mind in an instant, no need to deliberately waste time talking.
"Mm!"
Cynthia nodded silently.
A hint of guilt arose in her heart.
She was so focused on being tender with the dog here that she forgot about her little shark.
Cynthia's mood made Will couldn't help grinning.
He actually wasn't too worried about the big mother shark.
The main force fighting the space-time gods is Darkrai.
If the space-time gods want to target anyone, it would be it.
With the strength of Garchomp and Milotic, they might not even be taken seriously by Dialga and Palkia.
Will shook his head, tapped his feet, and flew towards Giratina in the sky.
During this time, he also took a moment to glance at his panel.
Will's pupils lit up slightly.
Cynthia version Lucario...
Corresponds to 'Ash-Greninja'?
Moreover.
His level had unknowningly reached Lv. 90.
No wonder he now felt he was more than just a little bit stronger than before; he was just marveling at how amazing Bond Phenomenon was.
It turns out it was because he had stepped into the Master-level tier.
Withdrawing his gaze.
Looking up.
In his golden pupils, a somewhat dazzling blue fluorescent light bloomed.
Giratina looked at those eyes, its body trembling uncontrollably. In an instant, it made a decision—not fighting!
It's going to run!
Giratina also put it into action at the first moment.
A dark wormhole opened beside it, and it dove headfirst into it.
But.
Will couldn't let it escape.
Even though he knew the problem with the space-time gods right now was bigger.
But he believed Garchomp and the others could hold on.
More importantly.
This guy repeatedly tried to kill him and Cynthia.
With Giratina's ability to hide in the shadow world, if he let it go today, would there be any peaceful days in the future?
Cut the weeds and dig up the roots.
Having lived for over two hundred years, how could Will not know this principle?
"Roar—"
A domineering wolf roar erupted from Will's mouth.
Generated along with it was a surging shockwave.
Even across a distance of over twenty meters.
Will's Dragon Pulse bombarded Giratina's body in an instant, blasting it to tumble repeatedly in the air.
And when Giratina stabilized its figure.
Will had already arrived above its head, raising an Ice Punch high and smashing it down!
Crack!
"Roar!!"
The golden horn on Giratina's head was snapped off by Will's punch, and it let out a heart-rending roar.
This kind of roar even attracted the attention of the fighting space-time gods.
They couldn't imagine.
Exactly what kind of existence could make that brutal Lord of the Distortion World let out such a sound.
However, the next scene.
Made them tremble with fear even more.
Only to see Will grab Giratina's tail and heavily smash it onto the ground. One foot stomped down heavily, rendering the latter unable to move, while at the same time, his mouth began to gather a freezing breath capable of freezing everything.
In the Alamos Town square they couldn't see,
Cynthia aimed her right arm at Will in the sky:
"Subzero Slammer!!"
Boom!
A surging icy breath, aiming to freeze all things in the world, spewed onto Giratina's body. Its massive body froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just four or five seconds.
Giratina turned into a giant ice sculpture.
However.
Although Ice-type moves have a significant effect on Giratina, Will didn't think he could finish off the overlord of the Distortion World with just two or three moves.
Taking advantage of Giratina being unable to move.
Will raised one foot, pressing down with another Earthquake.
Rumble rumble—
Intense tremors spread across Giratina's body.
The huge ice blocks gradually shattered.
Although Giratina was hit by Will's Earthquake, it was also able to break free from the ice layer faster.
It got up and swung a Dragon Claw backward.
Will raised his hand and summoned.
A blue bone staff pressed down, blocking Giratina's Dragon Claw, but the powerful impact still sent Will flying backward a dozen meters.
Even though he had reached the Master level and completed Bond Phenomenon.
But in terms of panel stats.
Other than speed, Will had no attributes that could surpass Giratina.
But it was enough.
As long as speed holds the advantage.
Will has at least a fifty percent certainty of winning.
See.
Giratina had just flown up.
In the blink of an eye, Will stepped on top of its head again, pressing it down towards the ground below, preventing it from flying into the sky.
"Roar!!"
Giratina was extremely angry, roaring towards the sky.
Only to see a sudden thunderbolt flash across the sky.
Will felt something, intending to dodge, but his speed couldn't compare to the lightning summoned by Giratina.
Boom!
The golden Thunder hit Will squarely, shocking him into continuous trembling.
But compared to the severe physical pain.
Will was more worried about Cynthia's condition.
Bond Phenomenon.
Transmits the pain to the partner together!
'Don't worry about me... I can do it.'
Cynthia's strong voice reached Will's heart.
Will shook his head, his gaze sharp, looking up at the sky.
That worm.
Is planning to run away again?
!
Dust rose from beneath his feet, the ground shattering inch by inch.
Will's figure disappeared from the spot.
Replacing it in the sky above Alamos Town abruptly appeared a sun shimmering with rainbow light.
More accurately.
It was a fireball at least a hundred meters in diameter.
The light of Sacred Fire swallowed Giratina in an instant.
The next second.
Invisible telekinetic waves spread in all directions, instantly dispersing the remaining flames of the Sacred Fire.
Although Giratina successfully broke free from the Sacred Fire.
But seeing the redness frequently appearing on its body, it was clear it had entered the 'Burn' status.
"Roar..."
Giratina paused in mid-air, panting heavily.
Its condition was already not very good.
It also couldn't understand.
The ant it was crushing and beating just fifteen minutes ago, how did it suddenly become so troublesome in the blink of an eye.
"Is it your turn to rest?"
Will drew circles in front of his chest with both hands.
Rays of metallic light coalesced from the metal plates on his body, finally turning into a sharp black-and-white beam shooting fiercely towards Giratina.
Steel Beam!
Excluding Z-Moves, the most powerful move among special Steel-type moves!
The firing speed of Steel Beam adjusts according to the user's own speed. The faster Will's speed, the faster the speed of Steel Beam.
It could be said.
Even Will himself has no certainty of dodging this move!
Let alone the current Giratina!
Knowing it couldn't dodge, its eyes turned ruthless, actually choosing to use Iron Head to forcefully resist it.
Boom—
Steel Beam collided with Iron Head.
Even if Giratina's panel stats are stronger, it definitely couldn't possibly be a match for Will's move.
So.
After forcefully holding on for two or three seconds.
Giratina's head couldn't hold on anymore. It was impacted by Will's Steel Beam, retreating repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye was shot backward seventy or eighty meters.
Such a powerful move.
Naturally also has certain drawbacks.
That is recoil damage!
Driving Steel Beam requires consuming the Steel-type Pokémon's own metallic elements, which will cause a certain amount of damage to it.
So right now, it wasn't only Giratina who was injured.
But also Will.
It was just that compared to the former.
The damage the latter suffered could only be described as a drop in the bucket.
After one move.
"Phew..."
Will panted heavily.
This unprovoked feeling of bodily weakness made him feel baffled.
But in the blink of an eye, he realized where the problem lay.
It's Cynthia!
Maintaining Bond Phenomenon requires consuming physical stamina.
Given Cynthia's already rather poor condition, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
