White Mist backed away as a copy of Satoshi holding a spear charged at him, repeatedly stabbing him with the spear which he dodged with great difficulty. Before he could recover though, Satoshi appeared beside him, shooting a pair of handguns that shot dark energy toward him. He tried blocking it, but the dark energy bullets pierced through his defenses and grazed his skin.

A copy of Satoshi with a sword appeared behind him, smashing the sword on the field and creating a shock wave that sent White mist flying. White Mist activated the Death Metronome's psychic abilities in order to stop his momentum, and he attacked the nearest Satoshi he found.

This Satoshi was holding a shield. As soon as White Mist's psychic attack hit him, Satoshi just prompted the dark shield up and the attack was deemed ineffective. No matter what White Mist tried to do, there was always a counterattack waiting for him. For a moment, he felt as if he was fighting the number one and two superheroes of Japan simultaneously.

Not only was White mist outnumbered, but he was also overwhelmed by Satoshi's overall power and combat abilities. He concluded that Satoshi's power level was almost the same as his, but he had more control, thanks to the physical training he did back when he still hasn't awakened his superpower. Sure Satoshi's power was decent, but White Mist could see the hard work he put in order to achieve that level of control and dexterity.

"He's keeping up with White Mist." Kageyama's pupils dilated as he watched the fight (he was the beast tamer who integrated with a beast that looked like a crow a couple of moments ago)

"Amazing," Tetsuya said, peeling his eyes so he'd be able to observe Satoshi's movements. While he was a little bit older than Satoshi, he could tell that Satoshi was already an expert when it comes to fighting.

"I told you... that guy's an expert. I guess there are a lot of stronger beast tamers out there... they just don't get to be in the limelight. After all, a beast-tamer superpower isn't exactly popular compared to other superpowers." Shoyo said, his chest still puffed as he proudly complimented Satoshi.

"He's strong all right. And here I was thinking he'd be some sort of noob when it comes to beast integration. If he could go head to head with White Mist at this age... who knows what kind of monster he'll become when he grows up." Taiga pointed out.

White Mist gritted his teeth in utter frustration as he tried to use every move, every skill that his Death Metronome had. He flew around, but Satoshi would just appear in front of him thanks to the dark portals he created all over the place. And if he were to stay in place, he'd be surrounded by twelve Satoshis. It was a pain in the rear end, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"I'm getting nowhere." White Mist said as he deflected a Satoshi who was about to land a flying kick to his back. Another Satoshi appeared, throwing in a couple of shurikens toward him. One of the shurikens (it should be pointed out that every weapon that Satoshi and his clones used is made up of dark energy) hit him on the back. Fortunately, Death Metronome had enough foresight to create a psychic barrier behind him. Everything that White Mist did was purely defensive, and even with Death Metronome helping him out, they still couldn't defend against the onslaught by yours truly.







However, White Mist still had one sliver of hope left. Even though the fight may look bleaker than it appeared, White Mist knew that Satoshi had been expending ridiculous amounts of energy. If he played the waiting game, then he'd be able to last longer than Satoshi. From what he knew, Satoshi had just awakened his superpower a couple of months ago... or so that's what he heard from the rumors. If such was the case, then he should be able to last longer than him.

"I have more experience than him... there's no way he'd last longer than me." White Mist muttered to himself. As much as he hated to admit it, he had to play dirty and a little bit underhanded. Instead of going on the offensive, he decided to run away until Satoshi tires himself out. 'Sure his control over his superpower was commendable, but I'm sure he hasn't trained his stamina when it comes to his beast integration.' A smile appeared on White Mist's face.

With this, he'd be able to keep up with Satoshi.

It didn't take long before everyone in the room noticed what White Mist was trying to do. They could see right through his actions— that he was just trying to buy time. Ash and Jean Grey also noticed White Mist's play but they didn't say anything at all. After all, even though what he was doing was a bit disrespectful when it comes to the beast battle, there were no rules that said running away is illegal in a beast battle. Because of that, all of them just continued watching the match without saying a single word.

Their respect towards White Mist dropped to disturbing numbers, however, since all he did was run away from the match.

...

Roughly thirty minutes later.

"What on earth is this kid?!" White Mist said to himself. He had been running for roughly half an hour now but Satoshi was still unrelenting. His attacks didn't let up, and White Mist couldn't rest in the middle of the match. He planned to run away until Satoshi's Beast Integration disappears... but as it turned out Satoshi had more stamina than he was.

"I'm already at my limit... and yet this kid is still going... what on actual— " White Mist muttered to himself when an Axe almost chopped his head off. He barely dodged the Satoshi who swung it, tripping him and running away.

Another Satoshi appeared in front of him, lasso-ing him and catching him with a rope made out of dark energy.

In an instant, White Mist was surrounded by the twelve Satoshis. And yes, Satoshi didn't call out his clones at all throughout the entire fight. That's why White Mist didn't find any opportunity to rest.





"I forfeit." White Mist heaved a sigh as a smile appeared on his face. "You're really strong, huh... you have more stamina than me... what kind of hellish training did you do to achieve such a high level of control and endurance?"

Satoshi's mind remembered the time when his parents electrocuted him via the superpower suppressor... that was what gave him the extra boost he needed (refer to chapter 165). Instead of the suppressor actually suppressing his superpower, it actually boosted it... which was a bit ironic, but Satoshi didn't really see it as a bad thing.

Satoshi called out his eleven clones and also called out his dark energy portals all over the field. He still didn't undo his Beast Integration though, since he wanted to know what his limit was. This surprised White Mist more than ever— it's as if he was slapped right on the face with Satoshi's gesture. After all, he could barely hold his beast integration in forty-five minutes... but Satoshi far exceeded that and there was no sign of tiredness in his aura.

"Ash? I challenge you to a beast battle." Satoshi called out, extending his hand towards Ash, inviting him for a beast battle. He just had a beast battle with White Mist and had won... and now he was asking for another beast battle without taking a break.

"SWEET~!" Ash exclaimed as he went toward the opposite side of the field.

"Sister~ sadistic~ surprise~ service~" Shoyo started singing out an oddly familiar tune after Ash interjected. He stopped singing in an instant though since no one joined him in the song.

"Are you sure about this? Satoshi?" Ash said, integrating with his Sarugaso before Satoshi could say no. "If so... then allow me to take you on!"

"Once again, I'll play as the referee. Satoshi, are you sure about this?" Jean Grey concernedly asked from the sidelines. He was sincerely concerned about Satoshi since he could tell he was trying to overextend his beast integration.

"I'm sure about this. I hardly feel exhausted at all. If I still feel all right, would it be all right if I challenge you as well?" Satoshi said, laying down another invitation of a beast battle towards Jean Grey.

"If you say so, just don't overestimate yourself, all right?" Jean Grey smiled, standing right in the middle of the sidelines before he raised his hand. "On the right side of the ring, we have Midoriyama Satoshi with his Ghast. And on the left side, we have Ash Grey, my son, with his partner Sarugaso. I've already stated the rules and regulations of a beast battle that involves beast integrations so I won't repeat it anymore.

"Without further ado, let the match BEGIN!"
