Ash-Pikachu Z!
Ash seemed a little slow to realize what was happening, but Baimu's hair stood on end.
Even Steven's Trump Card, Mega Metagross, couldn't withstand it. Could Regidrago? Whether it could or not, it had to!
"Give it everything you've got!!"
He suddenly raised his voice. High above, Regidrago's core flashed beneath its Dragon Tera Crown, and mistlike smoke billowed around it.
Wisps of turbulent energy swirled around its body, dazzling as liquid fire beneath the crystalline glow.
BZZ!
The brilliant light of destruction drew every eye in the audience.
"What's that? What an incredible power!"

"Pikachu! 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt!!"

Thunder erupted with overwhelming force!
Rainbow lightning swept across the air like an invisible hand, closing around Regidrago.

BOOM!
The whole festival venue shook violently!
Spectators at the other three battlefields were drawn to the towering beam of light and rose from their seats in curiosity.
Even the Pokémon in the middle
