Pink mist drifted across the vast field.
Without a doubt, this was the additional effect brought by Max Starfall—
[Misty Terrain].
As the protective barrier settled, everyone eagerly looked into the field. Gigantamax Gengar and Dynamax Hydreigon had both been shoved backward a short distance by the shockwave from their high-energy clash.
It was clear just how terrifying that collision had been.
The commentator's shout immediately echoed through the venue. "Neither side gained the upper hand! Max Darkness and Max Starfall canceled each other out in the collision!"
Buzz!
Cheers erupted from the stands, with screams rising and falling like waves.
"Great job, Gengar!"
"Finish Hydreigon with Max Starfall in one go!"
"Go, Gengar!"
"Bwo-jah~! Bwo-jah~!"
Ash's supporters could barely contain their excitement. Gigantamax Gengar's performance had been truly stunning. While its momentum was still high, why not take down its opponent in one stroke?
However, some calmer people believed the next move would be crucial.
After a Pokémon used three Max Moves while Dynamaxed, it would be forced to revert to normal. Gigantamax Gengar had already used two moves and only had one chance left.
Meanwhile, Baimu's Dynamax Hydreigon still had two chances!
Could Gengar withstand a Max Move through defensive techniques like Hydreigon had?
It was dangerous!
Everyone wore extremely tense expressions.
On the field.
"Gengar..."
Gigantamax Gengar's long tongue swayed from its scarlet mouth, and a trace of gravity flashed through its golden eyes.
The previous clash between Max Starfall and Max Darkness might have appeared evenly matched, but it had actually been more heavily suppressed. There were also advantages and resistances between type energies. Reaching that level only proved that its opponent's Special Attack vastly exceeded its own.
It stared at the distant Dynamax Hydreigon, which was exhaling smoke, and thought of its one remaining chance
