Greninja obeyed. If Xu Mu told him to attack without regard for the consequences or his own stamina, Xu Mu had his reasons.
Charizard and Lugia had risked their lives to buy him time to power up. If Greninja went all out now and failed to leave a mark on Eternatus,
he would never live it down.
"Croak!"
[Have I lost my touch, or have you gotten cocky?]
[It's this hot, I haven't even cracked a smile, and you're already starting trouble?]
[Take this!]
This time, Greninja skipped his signature battle cry. Instead, he opened with a string of tough-guy taunts that left Eternatus baffled.
But talk was talk.
He wasn't about to let Eternatus make a fool of him!
With dozens of Shadow Clones at his side, Greninja unleashed his ultimate move.
Super Large Ball Water Spiral Shuriken rained down on Eternatus from every direction!

"Croak!"
[You're the frog! Your whole family's frogs!]

Greninja doubled down, creating dozens more Shadow Clones.
They surrounded the massive Eternatus and pelted him with Bubble Beam, Water Gun, and barely damaging moves like
