One hundred seventy-first episode – Passionate State
Without hesitation, Lei instantly gathered her strongest power to push forward, the brilliant pink light shining even more brightly at the top of the crystal.
“Flowers, shine! Pretty Cure Pink Forte Wave!”
The flower bud magic wand that was once severed by Ash had already been reborn with the awakening heart of the girls. The light completely merged into the staff, and the most powerful attack was thrown towards Ash with greater force than any previous time.
“Useless, did you forget about this?”
The enormous flower bud shot towards Ash, yet he remained unfazed. He raised his left shawl to block the attack, which pushed him back several steps after the remaining impact. He endured the light and turned it into sand.
“No matter how powerful the attack is, if it does not hit, then it has no meaning—What!”
The figure of Blue appeared behind Ash, unknown when, appearing almost instantaneously as soon as the shawl blocked the attack before it was down.
“There’s no other way! Today, even if I beat you down, I have to make you recognize me in every way! Ash!”
“The battle isn’t won just by pouring out emotions, girl!”
Ash’s mind raced through information. After all, Pretty Cure didn’t have instantaneous teleportation abilities—at last, it made sense. Using the dazzling light and the speed of a finishing move, you approached me while I was being struck!
“Your technique is indeed impressive!”
The revolving shawl turned his upper body into sand, causing Erika to miss. As Ash reappeared and aimed a hand-knife at her head, Lily and Wuki suddenly appeared on either side of the man, delivering kicks that pinned Ash between them in his abdomen.
“But you can’t simultaneously handle attacks from all directions!”
“Gh—”
Twisted like a shrimp in mid-air, Ash groaned in pain.
Indeed, it wasn’t just one person closing in.
“A cut above….”
Using the scarf ability to turn himself into sand again, breaking free from the girls’ double-team, Ash at a distance gasped for air. Despite the armor reducing direct impact, it still broke several of Ash’s ribs and triggered nausea.
“However, it’s not enough to defeat me!”
The girls reunited, and Ash decided to endure, so as not to affect them.
Shooting out piercing spider silk from his fingers, accompanied by two pairs of compound eyes on his chest and fangs on his waist, countless guided beams rained down from all angles toward everyone. The girls quickly activated the Spirit Scarfs, flying up.
Like ace pilots facing missile swarms, their agile figures offered great advantages, evading dangers with swift movements and dodges.
Merely dodging wouldn’t suffice; meeting each other’s eyes, they stood firm in the air, unholstering sacred artifacts as conduits for power, fusing together an energy shield that bounced back the incoming light.
“Flowers, shine (dance)! Pretty Cure Pink (Blue, Silver, Gold) Forte Wave (Burst)!”
CureSunshine’s “Golden Whirlwind” wide-range solar bombardment, the rainbow-colored petal blasts from Blossom, Marine, and Moonlight, containing the supreme purity power, were pushing together toward Ash.
With his gauntlet controls pressed, the plasma cannon on his chest locked onto the target and gathered energy again. Lightning spread throughout Ash’s body, concentrating and launching a small black sphere absorbing light, colliding with four girls’ finishing moves.
Silence swallowed the sound as the black hole consumed it; unimaginable destruction was contained as the spheres repaired damage; only the blinding light persisted after their clash ended.
Yet, the Pretty Cure weren’t done; armed with new powers gained from overcoming trials, they held endless vigor.
“Let’s go together, Lily!”
Five-wood and Lily, having suffered greatly, met eyes understandingly. They had ample reason to teach Ash a lesson.
Five-Wood extended her hand, interlocking with Lily’s, signifying the sun and moon’s intertwined light, as infinite energy flickered.
“What a beautiful sight, Five-Wood and Lily can fight together…”
Erika, slightly grumbling, felt a familiar warm palm grasp hers.
“Should teamwork be our strength, sisters will never fall behind anyone!”
Seizing Ash’s vulnerability post-blackhole assault, unable to use the scarf, the duo poured their hearts and strength into their magic wands, swiftly drawing the “F” symbol. Hand in hand, enveloped by dual-colored light, their purified energy surged towards Ash.
“Precious Cure Floral Power Fortissimo (Strength of the Flower)!”
As legendary warriors uniting, no longer lost, Ash truly felt their enhanced might!
Internal HUD data screens flashed, and calculations revealed grim results; yet amidst dire straits, Ash displayed a genuine, innocent smile!
Scarlet Timons’ armor wouldn’t stand without the scarf—so there’s no need for defense; attack alone will suffice!
Ah! It makes sense, considering countless tactics, but nothing compares to living this moment in a truly passionate battle!
“Your全力, I’ll repay with my全力!”
Left hand, rapidly activated the left red unit control of his gauntlet.
“[Left Control]!”
At the command, Ash’s single blue visor turned blood-red, the cannons sealed, compound eyes shut, redirecting all power towards output zones.
“Aahhhh————!!”
His thermal device uncovered, armor vents opened, scattering heat; countless crimson grains and searing steam erupted.
In the “Scarlet Timons: Passionate State,” Ash roared loudly, driven by overwhelming force.
Right arm snapped outward, blade-like arm structures deploying, slicing through the scarf with lethal accuracy towards the incoming “F” powerful soundwave. Ash lifted his hands, cutting through them forcefully.
—!
Two ear-shattering explosions shook the ground, crumbing the earth beneath Ash’s feet.
With both arms’ blades, Ash forcibly sliced through the quad-energy attack, sending them crashing sideways.
“Cough… cough…”
Struggling to rise after falling like a downed aircraft, Lei saw Ash ripping off his left shawl, unveiling a renewed appearance.
“Alright, let the battle continue. Show me the renewed strength of Pretty Cure!”
Exchanging looks, this time, unlike the surprise during the rain, confidence flowed in their eyes, owning powerful new forces.
“It seems, to witness us, this is Ash’s honest true self.”
No panic now, Lei smiled, presenting the golden seed received from passing trials, intertwining hands with others’.
“Mister Ash, here we are, showcasing all we’ve achieved across time!”
Interwoven hearts ignited fresh miracles.
