Ye Xingchen clutched his chest and solemnly declared, "We won't lose this battle! Greninja, Bond Phenomenon!"
Ye Qing's eyes flickered. "Just what I wanted. Infernape, let's do it too!"
"Ah-cha!"
The flames atop Infernape's head poured downward, their searing heat baking the earth. The grass beneath his feet had already begun to burn!

"Charge in with Fire Punch!"

At their trainers' commands, Infernape and Greninja both unleashed their full power.
"Ah-cha!"
Infernape roared. A Blazing Giant Ape appeared behind him, its fiery red body raising a fist the size of a clay pot and smashing it toward Greninja!

The two collided in midair, and the energy shock wave sent Infernape and Greninja flying!
"Was that a draw?"
Shock filled Su Yiqin's eyes. Taking Infernape's punch head-on proved that this Greninja was no ordinary Pokémon either!
"Keep using Fire Punch!"
"Keep using Water Shuriken!"
Both sides abandoned defense. The shock waves from their collisions destroyed all the surrounding plants and trees, while crack after crack split the ground.
"Focus Punch!"
Infernape gritted his teeth, rapidly gathering Fighting-type energy in his fist before throwing it at Greninja with a thunderous roar!
"Protect!"
Ye Xingchen dared not be careless. He had already noticed the item Infernape was wearing.
Although Greninja wanted to meet the attack head-on, he also trusted his trainer's judgment.
Infernape slammed his fist into the barrier of Protect. Though
