Breakthrough to Elite Four Level

Both sides instantly assumed their battle stances.

Golisopod spread its legs apart, extending its two claws high and low. Its sharp claws gave off a chilling gleam.

Greninja, on the other hand, was completely different. Its legs were held straight, with only a narrow gap between them.

Its arms were folded, maintaining a cool pose.

Greninja was lean, without an ounce of excess fat on its body. Its long legs and arms gave it a considerable speed advantage in movement.

Seated in the stands, Tetsu said, "I now declare the battle officially begun."

Eichi's eyes narrowed. Across from him, Xiao Ye looked serious, her hands clenched tightly as she appeared slightly nervous.

"Golisopod, Surprise Attack!"

Golisopod crouched slightly, lowering its center of gravity before suddenly exploding forward.

Its body became an afterimage in an instant as it charged out.

Its claws swept through the air, seeming capable of tearing it apart at any moment.

As Golisopod began its attack, Xiao Ye also gave Greninja its command.

"Greninja, Double Team!"

Upon hearing the command, Greninja kicked off with its long legs and rushed forward.

Its arms spread out behind it, much like Naruto's running posture.

Although that posture looked cool, to be honest, it had a major impact on speed.

Golisopod used to run that way too, but it had changed under Eichi's suggestion. It now swung its claws back and forth, making it much faster. That was what conformed to scientific principles.

Both sides were extremely fast. Just as they were about to collide, Xiao Ye issued a second command.

"Greninja, Iaido Slash!"

Greninja extended both arms, instantly condensing long triangular energy blades over its frog-like palms.

Golisopod swung both claws at the Greninja before it.

Greninja did the same, leaping up and slashing down at Golisopod.
