Ilima took a deep breath, trying to calm the pressure in his heart.
"Natsuhiko is very serious, the Ilima over there has completely lost his own battle rhythm, entirely in his rhythm."
In the contestant seating, Lance clicked his tongue, feeling astonished at Natsuhiko's seriousness.
"Perhaps Natsuhiko wants to force out the opponent's 'Z Move'?" Flint speculated.
"It's also possible that Natsuhiko recognizes his opponent, he only gets this serious when battling someone he acknowledges." Hilona also speculated.
Both are possible.
But anyone with a bit of insight could see.
Ilima had completely lost his own rhythm.
"Kangaskhan! Ilima's third Pokémon is Kangaskhan!"
"Kangaskhan, Clap Attack!"
Ilima mimicking Natsuhiko's style of commanding Infernape, had Kangaskhan use "Clap Attack" right away.
Due to the priority, without an absolute strength advantage, Infernape couldn't possibly dodge it.
Bang!!
Infernape inevitably fell into a "Wither" state.
"Kangaskhan, Earthquake!!" Ilima exclaimed excitedly.
As long as Natsuhiko's Infernape is dealt with, everything will return to square one, and Ilima can regain some of his rhythm.
Boom——
As Kangaskhan's feet hit the ground, a terrifying tremor spread rapidly from the center.
Natsuhiko squinted, showing no intention to retract Infernape at this point.
With training result, Infernape is capable.
"Choro!!"
Raging flames erupted instantly, and after bearing the effects and some damage from the Earthquake, Infernape regained consciousness, leaping to avoid subsequent damage.
"What?!" Ilima displayed a face full of disbelief.
"Wither" requires willpower, and Infernape has trained willpower extensively with Togekiss.
"Infernape reacted! It struggled out from the 'Wither' state and, and triggered the 'Fierce Fire' trait!"
Seeing the sky filled with flames, coloring half the arena, the announcer swallowed and muttered.
Such fierce flames, really a first sight.
"Flame Fist and Close Combat." Natsuhiko calmly commanded.
The dark red flames burned in Infernape's eyes, learned well from Reshiram!
Tightened fists, flames condensed and enveloped both fists, slated down towards Kangaskhan.
Ilima gritted his teeth, enduring and said: "Kangaskhan, hold out!"
Bang——!! Bang——!! Bang——!!
Every punch accompanied by a terrifying flame burst, as if attacking not as aggression, but repeatedly hammering a piece of red-hot iron, sparks flying.
Fortunately, Ilima's final reaction allowed Kangaskhan to withstand this terrifying combo attack.
Kangaskhan gasped heavily.
The next moment.
Ilima's peculiar gesture concluded in front of everyone, the "Z Pure Crystal" on his wrist flashed dazzling white light.
"This is!! This is the 'Z Move'!! Ilima used the 'Z Move'!"
"Go, Kangaskhan! Ultimate Invincible Crash!"
The ability within the "Z Pure Crystal" was activated by Ilima's motion, erupted through the "Z Bracelet", infused into Kangaskhan's body.
Most viewers in the audience stood up.
Witnessing such dazzling momentum.
Is this the "Z Move"?
"Infernape, Jet Flame!"
"Ultimate Invincible Crash" is hard to dodge due to its large attack range, but letting Natsuhiko and Infernape sit idly is impossible.
"Choro!!"
Infernape howled defiantly, flames soaring pillar-like.
There's indeed a slight stance of Reshiram's cyan flame.
Two terrifying forces clashed at the center of the field, the ensuing blast continually flapping against the audience stand's protective membrane, making "pop pop" sounds.
This was a clash between a normal technique and a "Z" Move.
But Infernape didn't feel it was a sure defeat.
As the explosive aftermath subsided, the rising dust gradually dissipated, leaving a menacing crater at the center, dropping many jaws.
"Is this a 'Z Move'?"
However, the true surprise was.
On the ground was not just Infernape but also Kangaskhan.
"A double, double knockout! Both Infernape and Kangaskhan lost the ability to battle!" the announcer stuttered slightly.
"Can a 'Z Move' meet directly on face?" Ilima also inwardly marveled at the result.
Mr. Natsuhiko's Infernape is indeed too terrifying.
Without the 'Z Move', would it have been a one-vs-three?
Judging by the previous momentum of Infernape, it seemed an affair with no suspense.
