Chapter 678 To be a good person is to fight for your principles!
When Limone recalled Gallade, he gently pressed the Poké Ball against his forehead.
The movements were very light, like a soldier wiping a blood-stained knife.
"Lucario".
A burst of white light erupted, and a lithe, blue-black figure made his appearance.
Cynthia raised an eyebrow and threw out a Poké Ball as well.
The same agile figure in blue and black.
However, Cynthia's Lucario is five centimeters taller.
"..."
Limone did not speak.
He cleared his mind of all distractions in just 0.3 seconds.
Then he spoke:
"Exert force".
Cynthia gave the same command, "Power up!"
Two figures suddenly sprang up at the same time.
Fist against fist, bone against bone.
Lucario's palm gleamed white as he unleashed a powerful strike.
Cynthia's Lucario, in the same posture and at the same angle, precisely intercepted the opponent's point of force with the heel of her hand.
Bang!
A dull shockwave exploded from the point where the fists met!
Lucao of Limone took a step back.
Cynthia's Lucario didn't retreat an inch.
Limone remained calm and gave the order, "Beat them with the bone clubs!"
Limone's Lucario made a grasping motion with his right hand, and the Azure Waveguide instantly solidified into a two-meter-long bone rod.
He slid to the side and swung his bone club in a full-moon arc, aiming straight for his opponent's waist and ribs.
This is a tactic of avoiding the enemy's strength and attacking their weakness; it's a killer move that the Miare Dojo has honed through countless trials!
Cynthia's Lucario didn't even look at the bone club that was smashing towards his waist.
He just turned slightly to the side.
Then the bone club struck first at the point where Rimonel Cario was exerting force.
Click!
The cracks in the bone rod spread.
Lucario in Limone's hand trembled violently, and the bone club almost slipped from his grasp.
"This is... completely read to death!" A young gym leader exclaimed in the Carlos Gym Leader area.
"It's not a matter of superior attributes, it's a matter of superior experience and superior control over waveguides! The champion is more familiar with every move of the Limone Dojo master and can anticipate it much earlier!"
Although Rimone and Lucario were innocent, Li Shuwen felt a warmth in his heart knowing that Cynthia was standing up for him.
"Lightning speed!"
Without hesitation, Rimony believed that speed was the ultimate weapon in martial arts.
Lucario released his staff, and his entire body erupted in white light.
Speedy!
His figure transformed into a silver streak, heading straight for the champion Lucario's open goal.
Cynthia remained expressionless.
"Lightning speed."
Champion Lucario also turned into silver threads.
Two beams of white light clashed in the arena!
In an instant, they collided, parried, and collided again—the air was torn apart by a series of sharp screech sounds!
The audience only saw silver threads intertwining into a net, and then Lucario from Limone flew out of it, tumbling three times in the air before crashing his knee into the rocky ground!
There was a charred palm print on his shoulder.
Cynthia's Lucario stood still and slowly withdrew its hand.
The same move was countered three times with faster, more accurate, and stronger attacks.
In Carlos's audience, some people fell silent.
"Is this... the power control of the Sinnoh Champion?"
Lemon didn't look at Lucario, who was kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Wave missile".
Lucario looked up.
This is their last waveguide.
Lucario slowly brought his hands together in front of his chest.
A point of blue light appeared in the palm of his hand.
Blue light expands, rotates, and condenses.
A blue energy ball with a diameter of more than half a meter suddenly formed between his palms!
Some people in the audience held their breath.
Can we still win?
Cynthia slightly raised her chin. "Polaroid!"
Champion Lucario also clasped his hands together.
The same azure energy ball.
Smaller.
More solid.
It rotates faster, the blue light is deeper, and it seems to contain a compressed star.
Then, two wave missiles were launched simultaneously.
There were no fancy collisions.
When Rimonel's Wave Missiles made contact with the opponent's Wave Missiles, it was as if they had hit an insurmountable wall.
That smaller, more solid blue core disintegrated and absorbed the opponent's waveguide energy layer by layer.
boom.
Lucario in Limone was thrown over by the shockwave, his back smashed into rubble, and his eyes closed.
Limone lowered her eyes.
Take out the Poké Ball and recall Lucario.
His movements remained steady, just as he always did in any ordinary dojo match.
"Thanks for your hard work."
His voice was very soft.
Then he took out the third Poké Ball.
Limone raised his head, his expression remaining calm.
"Blazing Chicken".
Limone raised his left hand.
On his wrist, the keystone reflected a thin line of light under the lamp.
"Respond to my feelings!"
Blaziken, Mega Evolution!
A surge of seven-colored light erupted like a tidal wave!
The Blaziken's body stretched and grew taller in the light, its crest blooming like a blazing crown.
The airflow spun wildly around him, and the heat wave blew away all the gravel within ten meters.
Super Blaziken has arrived!
"It's here! Master Limone's trump card!"
"This Blaziken, with its unique form, possesses power that even surpasses that of the Elite Four!"
The stands in Carlos's stadium were like a blazing wasteland; the emotions that had been suppressed throughout the entire match finally found an outlet!
Cynthia sent out the Jade Goblin!
The uproar in the audience suddenly froze.
"This Arcanine... why does it seem to have a similarly peculiar form?"
Cynthia began by briefly explaining to Lemon that Arcanine is a Fire/Rock type.
Limone nodded. "Blazing Chicken, use Brick Break!"
Super Blaziken spews flames from its feet, its body transforming into a crimson meteor.
Cynthia calmly gave the order, "Charge!"
The emerald-green speed dog charged straight at them.
boom!!!
The blade of the Brickbreaker clashed violently with the shoulder blade of the Arcanine!
Flames, shockwaves—everyone was waiting for the moment when Arcanine would be sent flying backwards.
But the Gyrogoa didn't fly away.
Its four legs gripped the ground tightly, its back muscles bulged like mountains, and the hair on its neck stood up like a blazing battle flag.
He suppressed Super Blaziken!
"This...this power?!" the commentator exclaimed.
Limo's pupils constricted sharply.
This Arcanine's power surpasses that of Super Blaziken.
"Rockfall."
Cynthia gave the order.
As the Jade Goblin roared to the sky, massive rocks, each over a meter in diameter, fell from above.
"bounce!"
Super Blaziken's feet burst into flames as it leaps like an arrow.
Every pedal press is precise to the millimeter, and every turn is as smooth as a dance.
"So...so beautiful..." someone murmured in the audience.
Super Blaziken swims upstream in a rain of rockfalls.
After passing through the last giant rock, there was a 30-meter drop below.
Super Blaziken folds its arms together, its right foot resembling a sword's edge.
All the remaining flame energy was poured into this foot.
Flame Kick!
A crimson comet, plummeting vertically!
Cynthia raised her eyes.
"Double-edged hammer."
The Jade Goblin did not dodge.
With all four legs exerting force, the ground collapsed with a roar!
He leaped into the air, facing the falling crimson comet.
Rock-based energy condensed at his horns into sharp, double-layered armor, gleaming like platinum and as sharp as a precipice.
boom----!!
The shockwave was like a ring-shaped tsunami.
As the light faded, Super Blaziken knelt on one knee, its flames dimming.
The Jade Goblin's body trembled, indicating that it had expended considerable energy.
Limone looked at the Blaziken.
The Blaziken was watching him too.
A person and a Pokémon, their eyes meeting amidst the lingering heat of the explosion.
We haven't lost yet.
We can still fight.
"True Qi Fist".
Limone's voice faded.
Super Blaziken draws its fist to its waist to gather power.
A white light shone from the knuckles, like a newly born star.
He compressed all his strength and will into this one punch.
Super Blaziken transformed into a shooting star and hurtled towards Arcanine.
Cynthia spoke up.
"The swallows return."
The swift wind-swept dog stirred. Its figure left a golden-red afterimage in the air.
Super Blaziken lost sight of it.
0.1 second.
The only thing missing was the Gyro Dog's silhouette for a fraction of a second.
A gust of wind came from behind.
It's very light.
Very soft.
Like a swallow's tail brushing past your hair in spring.
boom.
The energy of wind bursts forth from Blaziken's back.
Super Blaziken's eyes widened slightly.
Maintaining the stance of throwing a punch, the white light on the fist was still burning, still waiting for that fatal blow that could never be delivered.
Then, the white light went out.
Super Evolution deactivated.
Blaziken kneels forward.
Li Shuwen was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Arcanine's U-turn could be used to this extent.
Cynthia coldly left the stage; she did this to vent her anger for Li Shuwen!
Didn't she know that Li Shuwen was her boyfriend?
Don't you know the famous Midas touch?
