"Shyoo!!"
Mew let out a low cry.
From Shiko, she sensed a powerful aura that could truly threaten her!
Psychic-type energy condensed once more.
Clusters of mental energy began to circulate,
filling in the portions of the Psychic Terrain that Shiko had just shattered.
"This is bad! Psychic Terrain has formed again!"
"With this, Mew has the advantage again!"
"We need to end this fast! We shouldn't have waited for her to make the first move!"
"As expected! That Pokémon looks terrifyingly strong, but it still hasn't reached the level of a second-tier Legendary!"
The spectators could not help but begin discussing it among themselves.
Worried, brows tightly furrowed, everyone was tense to the extreme.
Now that Psychic Terrain had formed again,
this place had once more become Mew's home field.
The advantage was back in the enemy's hands.
Shiko was now everyone's final hope.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable for him,
the Trainers from the Military and the major figures present all became nervous to the extreme.
Dense Psychic-type energy covered the entire area once again without a single blind spot.
What should have been a warm pink glow
now cast a layer of gloom over everyone's hearts.
This was bad!!!
With this kind of advantage,
Mew's combat power had risen tremendously!
This humanoid golden dragon warrior
would most likely lose...
Wait!?
The moment that uneasy thought arose,
the battle situation on the field suddenly changed.
A terrifying aura, restrained and condensed,
began to rise from WarGreymon's body.
A powerful dragon pressure
condensed into a majestic flying dragon.
The sharp silver Steel-type law wrapped around it.
The auras of Steel and Dragon instantly began rampaging and roaring through the Psychic Terrain,
madly tearing at everything around them
and reducing the entire battlefield to utter ruin in an instant.
Psychic-type energy shattered and collapsed.
The enormous Psychic Terrain that had covered the whole forest
was dismantled in a single moment!
Good heavens!!!
The scene of Psychic Terrain cracking apart inch by inch
was deeply seared into everyone's minds.
It had actually been destroyed by aura alone,
breaking apart the field Mew had set up with her psychic power!?
So strong!!!
This Pokémon—
it was definitely also at the level of a second-tier Legendary!!!
"Captain Himeko, th-this situation..."
Minister Kenjiro vaguely saw some clues from WarGreymon
and asked uncertainly, full of shock.
"He evolved."
"He is now WarGreymon."
"A genuine second-tier Legendary!"
Himeko nodded.
That was right.
That brief exchange of glances and words just now
had made Himeko understand
that Shiko had truly completed a new level of evolution.
From GeoGreymon, who had reached the absolute peak of ordinary techniques,
he had been reborn, leaping through the dragon gate,
and successfully stepped into the domain of Legendary beings.
And moreover—
the moment he evolved,
he became a powerful second-tier Legendary!
"WarGreymon?"
"A second-tier Legendary?"
The people behind her repeated those terms,
their hearts overflowing with indescribable shock.
They raised their heads
and stared blankly at that golden figure standing in the distance.
That towering form, that mountain-like, immense aura—
in an instant,
it stirred the heartstrings of every single person present!
A second-tier Legendary!
It had actually...
actually evolved straight into a second-tier Legendary!
This was something that had created history for all humankind!
This was the first Legendary on humanity's side!
Everyone silently clenched their fists.
The blazing, excited light flowing through their eyes gathered together,
making Shiko faintly sense a powerful energy beginning to grow.
"Come on!!"
The sharp Digizoid claws radiated a terrifying aura as if they could tear the sky apart.
A powerful fighting spirit spread outward.
Within WarGreymon's eyes
was an unstoppable and overbearing momentum.
Mew opened her mouth,
and that hoarse voice appeared once more.
She was enraged.
The way her Psychic Terrain had been destroyed so easily by the other side
made her feel that all dignity had been stripped away, that her pride as a second-tier Legendary had been trampled.
Even though the WarGreymon before her
was a Legendary at the same tier as herself,
still—
Mew, who had lived for thousands of years and accumulated unknowable amounts of power,
deep in her heart
did not place this newcomer, who had only just stepped into the second-tier Legendary realm, in her eyes at all.
"There are differences even among Legendaries!"
"Taste this!"
That low voice rang out.
Mew lifted one hand.
Her surging Psychic-type energy condensed into a sharply pointed dagger,
hanging in the air and blotting out the sky.
Psycho Cut!
That move again!
After recognizing Mew's habitual technique,
the ministers of the Military and the Elite Four-level Trainers present all became tense and anxious.
Just now, more than half of their Pokémon
had fallen to this very move!
Mew clenched her hand downward!
The sharp daggers then dropped like a blizzard,
pouring down on Shiko from every direction.
In the blink of an eye, he was completely covered by them!
Could he withstand it?
He had to withstand it!
This battle tugged at everyone's hearts.
All of them frantically cheered for WarGreymon in their hearts!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!!
Clear, crisp impacts rang out one after another.
Those psychic daggers flew at Shiko one after another,
and after colliding with his Digizoid armor,
without a single exception,
every one of them shattered apart.
Even under the relentless, frenzied barrage,
his golden armor
did not show even the slightest scratch.
It was as bright as new,
gleaming with a radiance as dazzling as the sun.
"Damn it!!"
Mew frowned and spoke hoarsely.
Madness showed in her black pupils.
The next wave of dagger rain did not stop.
Psychic-type energy condensed into seven blades, then collapsed,
only to combine again once more.
A moment later,
a giant dagger more than ten meters long—no, it was already more like an enormous cleaver—stretched across the sky, hanging above Shiko's head.
That terrifying Psychic-type energy fluctuation,
and that razor-sharp blade,
made everyone tense up all over again.
This all-or-nothing full-power attack—
could Shiko still block it without harm?
"Die!!"
Like the scythe of death itself harvesting lives,
the gigantic psychic dagger silently slashed down from the sky.
Even the space the powerful energy passed through
was twisting, collapsing, and breaking apart.
Shiko did not choose to dodge.
He merely raised his head
and quietly watched the blade edge drawing closer and closer to him.
Within those deep dragon eyes of his
flashed a wild, unrestrained look.
The next second,
under the anxious, worried gazes of everyone present,
he slowly raised his right hand.
His sharp alloy claws blocked the giant blade.
They remained locked for a single second.
Then a tremendous power erupted from his body.
In an instant,
that psychic blade
was blasted flying away by him on the spot!!!
