"Oh?"
What was this...?
Shiko raised his head and looked at Mewtwo.
Narrowing his eyes, he carefully sensed the changes in Mewtwo's aura.
It wasn't charging an attack.
Nor were there any intense energy fluctuations.
"Hm?"
Shiko shifted his gaze toward the distant horizon.
There...
He could clearly see something rapidly approaching at astonishing speed.
Armor?
Shiko's eyesight naturally far surpassed that of ordinary humans and Pokémon.
The instant those objects entered his field of vision, he had already identified them.
So...
Mewtwo had summoned them?
The next second...
The armor components streaked across the sky like meteors, dragging long trails behind them.
Under the astonished gazes of countless spectators—
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!!
Accompanied by crisp metallic sounds, one piece after another fitted perfectly onto Mewtwo's body.
A moment later...
Its entire body had been completely covered by armor.
Only its pair of pitch-black eyes remained exposed.
Clad in black armor, Mewtwo gave off an intensely dangerous presence.
It resembled some terrifying demon emerging from the depths of the underworld.
The pressure it radiated was enough to make people's hearts pound.
That was what the human spectators felt.
However...
The Pokémon and Digimon, whose senses were far more sensitive to changes in aura, instead showed puzzled expressions.
They exchanged glances.
And from one another's eyes...
They all saw the exact same confusion.
Their senses hadn't been mistaken.
After putting on the armor...
Mewtwo's aura hadn't become stronger as they had expected.
Instead...
It had become restrained.
It almost felt as though its combat power had been suppressed.
Shiko sensed the same thing.
The armor wasn't strengthening Mewtwo at all.
On the contrary...
It was restricting its power.
So this was Mewtwo's trump card?
Shiko immediately became curious.
He wanted to see exactly what Mewtwo intended to do.
The battle began again.
This time...
Mewtwo was indeed nowhere near as overwhelmingly dominant as before.
Under the combined assault of the five remaining Digimon, it actually began to look somewhat overwhelmed.
It suffered several attacks in succession.
And if one observed carefully...
Every time Mewtwo was struck...
Tiny cracks appeared across its black armor.
As more and more cracks spread across its surface...
The five Digimon fighting it finally realized that something was wrong.
Mewtwo's speed was visibly increasing.
Yet throughout the battle...
It hadn't used any move or technique to enhance its speed.
Its physical strength and energy intensity were also steadily rising.
After sensing all of this...
Shiko understood.
This armor really had been designed to restrain Mewtwo.
But as the armor gradually shattered...
Those restraints were being released.
And naturally...
Mewtwo's combat power increased with every restriction that disappeared.
That was why the pressure it exerted during the battle was becoming stronger and stronger.
