"It's over! Down in one hit!"
The commentator's voice rang through the arena, and a thunderous roar rose from the stands.
"Champion! Champion!"
"Mawile! Mawile!"
Ash still had a finger plugging his nose. "So stinky—and so strong! Did you see that, Pikachu?" he said, his voice muffled.
"Pika~"
Pikachu covered its nose too, its gaze fixed on Mega Mawile in the arena.
Looking back, the entire battle had been a one-Pokémon show for Mega Mawile. Setting aside its many Status Moves, it had only attacked three and a half times.
And those three and a half attacks had sealed Koga's defeat. Mega Mawile had swept through his team like a gale through fallen leaves, and nothing could stop it!
Objectively, Koga of the Elite Four and his Pokémon had performed well. Every move they made had been carefully considered.
But against overwhelming strength, it had all been futile.
Whatever tactics or tricks he tried, Mega Mawile had only one answer—
Punch!
Punch harder!
Even when its opponent hid in a reeking swamp, Mega Mawile could freeze it in an instant and seal its defeat!
Even its ordinary off-type moves had rivaled Z-Moves and Max Moves in power.
Once again, Mega Mawile had proven that Champion Baimu stood above the rest. Even an Elite Four member had fallen without putting up a fight.
Perhaps...
Perhaps even another Champion couldn't beat him?
Mawile's dazzling performance had left many people with that impression.
The subject had already sparked plenty of discussion online. Battle fans eagerly awaited the end of the year, when they hoped to see Champions from across the regions clash in Master Ball Class.
It was bound to be spectacular!
On the big screen,
Baimu's ranking rose to 72nd in Great Ball Class. Evidently, Koga hadn't been worth all that many
