Pokémon: Ash's Journey to Mastery

"Root Fluctuation." Xiaozhi used the skill he learned after Greninja absorbed the origin.

Greninja condensed a column of azure water and shot it at Moltres.

Moltres didn't avoid it either, as if it was confident that the stream of water couldn't hurt its flaming body as it wrapped itself up.

But when Moltres really endured it, it felt something was wrong. The flames on its body gradually went out under the impact of the water flow, producing huge amounts of water vapor, which was a bit painful.

The flamingo retaliated by spitting out blazing flames.

"Greninja, get out of the way quickly." Xiaozhi shouted.

Greninja nimbly dodged the fire attack by jumping.

"Use your magical powers to make yourself fly and fight." Xiaozhi reminded.

After hearing Xiaozhi's instructions, Greninja's eyes glowed pink, and with the help of telekinesis, it floated up.

"Root Fluctuation." Xiaozhi planned to take advantage of this battle to become more proficient in the practical application of this skill.

Greninja released a column of azure water at Moltres.

Moltres quickly flapped its wings and flew in the air, dodging the attack of the water column. At the same time, blue flames appeared on its body and it rushed towards Greninja with amazing momentum.

"Block it with the Water Shadow Blade." Seeing the fierce attack from the opponent, Xiaozhi immediately came up with a plan to deal with it.

Greninja condensed a dark blue blade to protect itself, and Moltres's body hit the blade directly, causing Greninja to retreat in the air.

Then, Moltres spit out hot flames in the shape of large letters.

Faced with this terrifying high temperature, Xiaozhi did not dare to be careless and quickly gave orders.

"The root wave strikes back."

Greninja gathered powerful water energy around it and shot out a column of azure water. The powerful water and fire collided with each other, producing thick smoke through evaporation, which enveloped Greninja.

"Use the smoke and use Root Wave towards your upper right." Xiaozhi gave the order after seeing the position of Moltres.

Greninja released a blue column of water and fired it over. Because it was surrounded by smoke, Moltres couldn't tell where the attack was coming from and was hit by the water column.

After being hit by water-attribute attacks one after another, Moltres became angry.

The molten bird flapped its wings, releasing countless extremely sharp blades to attack.

"Cut it off with the Water Shadow Blade." Xiaozhi said as he waved his hand vigorously.

Greninja waved the dark blue double swords in its hands and kept slashing with sharp blades, but as the number of sharp blades increased, it gradually became unable to keep up and was hit by many of the sharp blades on its body.

While Greninja was injured, Moltres condensed a terrifying energy of destruction in its mouth and fired a dark purple beam of light, which hit Greninja, knocking him back in the air.

Greninja is still an assassin after all, not to mention that he is just an ordinary Pokémon whose physical strength cannot be compared with that of the legendary beast. He is a little wounded at this moment.

"Damn it, it's not over yet. Let's show them our strength."

"Go on, Greninja." Xiaozhi clenched his fists and said with great momentum.

Greninja also clenched its fists, and a stream of azure water appeared on its body.

"It's time to use the water shuriken." Xiaozhi said excitedly.

Greninja slapped its legs, creating two blue shurikens, and fired them.

A green protective shield suddenly appeared around Moltres, blocking the attack.

"Swallow Returns." Xiaozhi then launched a swift attack, intending to boost morale with a series of attacks.

With the help of its magical power, Greninja flew quickly to Moltres, punched him on the chin, and kicked him on the forehead.

Moltres also released a jet of flame as a salute. Although Greninja was blocked by the water flow, it still retreated under the effect of the flames. The water flow became boiling hot. At the same time, Xiaozhi felt as if his chest was burned by the flames. It was very painful. After a while, he gave the order.

"Rockslide." Xiaozhi intended to use this attack to severely damage Moltres.

Greninja summoned several huge rocks and smashed them at Moltres.

Moltres quickly used high-speed movement to make its body light and avoid the attack of the rocks.

"Now is the time to use Water Shadow Slash." Xiaozhi looked at the opportunity when Moltres was dodging and launched an attack decisively.

While Moltres was dodging the last rock, Greninja quickly came to him, picked up two dark blue swords, and started slashing at his wings.

The attacked Moltres screamed instantly, and due to its injured wings, it quickly fell to the ground while curling up its body and using Feather Roost to recover.

"Don't give him the chance, Root Fluctuation." Of course, Xiaozhi couldn't let Moltres recover quickly, otherwise the previous damage would be in vain.

Greninja released eight azure water columns to attack. Moltres felt this horrific attack and stopped recovering. It flapped its wings and fled quickly. The water columns created a big hole where Moltres was. It was obvious that if this really happened, Moltres would not be in a good situation.

Moltres exhaled hot breath from its mouth and attacked Greninja.

Faced with this large-scale attack, Greninja had no chance to dodge and was hit directly. Fortunately, the water flow blocked the attack and reduced a lot of damage. The water flow then became very hot, and Greninja also felt uncomfortable. On the other side, Xiaozhi felt like he was soaking in hot water and it was very hot.

After merging with Greninja, Xiaozhi realized that he had to fight quickly. After all, Greninja now had little physical strength left. As a legendary beast, Moltres still had very strong physical strength. After suffering so many attacks, its condition was still better than Greninja.

"Root fluctuation." Xiaozhi came up with a good idea.

Greninja condensed terrifying water element energy from its surroundings, forming a blue water column, and countless bluish-white shining rays shot towards Moltres.

Moltres fought back by spitting out flames that burned everything.

The huge water-attribute energy and fire-attribute energy collided, and the evaporation of water and fire produced a huge amount of fog. For a moment, the two elves could not tell each other's position.

Xiaozhi saw the location of Moltres through the waveguide and passed the instructions to Greninja.

(Water Flow Shadow Slash towards your upper right)

Greninja quickly condensed two dark blue blades and flew towards Moltres. Taking advantage of the cover of smoke, it chopped down Moltres with its swords.

After Moltres was hurt, the whole bird was in a bad condition and was stunned. Then, a powerful explosion occurred and swallowed Moltres. Greninja, wearing a cloak, put away his knife and turned his back to Moltres handsomely.

The Moltres then fell heavily to the ground, creating a huge pit.

"Go ahead, high-level ball". Xiaozhi looked at this scene, laughed happily, and threw the high-level ball. Since the points were much less, he planned to be frugal.

The advanced ball hit Moltres' head and was quickly retracted. Since Moltres was too seriously injured, it was retracted after a few shakes and generated three stars.

Xiaozhi used the power of creation to get the advanced ball.

"Very good, I captured Moltres, Pikachu." Both Ash and Pikachu were very happy.

Tapu Fin looked at Greninja with envy, wondering when he would become so powerful.

Selina and others also sent their congratulations. After all, this is a legendary beast and is extremely precious.

Afterwards, everyone said goodbye to Doroba, who took a photo of the Moltres, and embarked on their own journey.
