Chapter 363 Mewtwo Awakens and Lucario with Ultimate Speed ​​(Part 2)

This, this is not right!
After witnessing Mewtwo suddenly unleash its power up close, instantly defeating his Mega Metagross with a single Flame Burst attack, Wusong's expression quickly turned to terror.

While generally speaking, Steel-type characters have the unavoidable weakness of Fire-type characters, and most of them are not very good at defending against energy attacks.

However, it is clear that Metagross, who possesses both superpowers and a body of steel, does not have any particular strengths.

In reality, if you take into account the stat boost from Mega Evolution, most Pokémon would have a hard time one-shotting it with Flamethrower.

But Mewtwo did it with ease.

It even used its powerful superpowers to forcibly control the trajectory of its attacks, performing some fancy tricks to evade the Stand's defense and directly attack Metagross from behind.

This also means that, like Qingyu's Lucario, Mega Mewtwo seems to have the ability to penetrate the opponent's defenses...

However, one uses skill and explosiveness to break through defenses, while the other is a "bullet drift" that completely defies logic, making it even more difficult to defend against.

This just doesn't make any sense!
Of course, what's even more outrageous is that Mewtwo can actually evolve into another stage...

Normally, it could hold its own against Mega Metagross, but after evolving, its strength instantly skyrocketed to a whole new level. How could it not crush its own side?

No wonder Qingyu said something like, "Let me see the pinnacle of superpowers."

You've reached Mega Mewtwo, who can beat you!
Wusong sighed helplessly, smiled wryly, retrieved the Poké Ball, and put the Metagross, which had already collapsed and regressed from its Mega form, back into the Poké Ball.

The only good news right now is that Mewtwo's moves have been basically confirmed. Apart from Phosphor Flare and Teleport, its only way of dealing damage is Flamethrower.

As for the last skill slot, given Qingyu's style, he would never make a choice rashly.

Putting aside the option of beating Teacher Yu, which seems unlikely now, if Mewtwo easily defeats three of them, how will I ever have the face to show up in the live stream again!
We should at least do our best to defeat Mega Mewtwo, so that even if we lose, it won't be shameful!

After quickly adjusting his mindset, Wusong regained his composure, took a deep breath, and calmly took out the second Poké Ball.

Fortunately, after learning that his opponent was Teacher Yu, he prepared a backup plan just to be on the safe side.

"The rest is up to you—"

"Dragon King Scorpion!"

After confidently announcing his next Pokémon, Wusong immediately threw the Luxury Ball in his hand.

Soon, a terrifying beast covered in purple carapace, with pincers and a venomous stinger on its tail, appeared on the field, attracting the attention of countless spectators.

(Dragon King Scorpion actually no longer has the Bug type.)

"It's Ah Liu's Dragon King Scorpion, isn't it..."

Qingyu instantly realized what Wusong was thinking, and at the same time felt a little emotional about the relationship between the three "Genius Trio" of Sinnoh.

First, they merged with Daye's Sunny Day team, wanting to create a Sunny Day Space system that Qingyu considered quite mature. Now, they've directly borrowed A-Liu's ace, and they're not even putting on an act anymore.

"Wusong's idea is quite good, but unfortunately he has encountered an opponent who is not up to par."

In the audience, Zhu Lan quickly shook her head after seeing Wu Song send out the Dragon King Scorpion.

In terms of talent, Gosho's future achievements are limitless, and he may even become the next Sinnoh champion after himself.

but now……

An even more terrifying monster was standing in front of him.

After all, that child has the blood of Mew, the "progenitor of Pokémon," flowing through his veins, and the number of moves he can learn is probably far beyond what others can imagine.

With that thought in mind, Zhu Lan lowered her head to look at the dreamlike creature in her arms, which was watching the battle intently, and then reached out to pat its head.

"Mwah~"

Disturbed by the bamboo orchid, Dream immediately raised its head proudly, its bright eyes blinking, looking like it was begging for praise.

"Even though you didn't play, you were a huge help!"

Zhu Lan smiled and rubbed its head again, marveling at the power of the dreamlike transformation ability.

It's just a transformation, but it feels exactly like Sylveon from Qingyu. What an amazing little guy.

If Qingyu had chosen to bring Meng Huan along to join the fun back then...

As Zhu Lan was intimately interacting with Meng Huan, she suddenly remembered this conjecture again, and the smile on her face froze, becoming strange.

How terrifying! Has Qingyu unknowingly become the legendary "divine beast man"?

Encountering legendary Pokémon, forging bonds with them to become eternal partners, and using their power to climb to the top...

I'm sure every trainer has fantasized about this to some extent, right?
But when this actually happens in real life, it feels a little unbelievable!
Gadriya silently watched the intimate interaction between the human and the beast in front of her, and the corners of her mouth, which had been turned up, immediately drooped down unconsciously.

Damn it, I don't know whether to envy Cyndaquil or Sylveon!
She immediately shook her head, her gaze returning to the venue.

When facing the Dragon King Scorpion, Qingyu's eyes quickly became more playful.

He had used Dracovish before during a live stream. Due to its excellent resistance to Dark and Poison types, it has almost no weaknesses and is also absolutely resistant to Psychic types.

Its only weakness to Ground type is physical collisions. While its move Earthquake is indeed a very useful and common move that many Pokémon can learn, it is difficult to cover the weaknesses of Psychic Pokémon that excel in Special Attack.

After all, the only special attack move it can use is Earth Power, and most Psychic Pokémon can't learn this move, so there's no way to counter it.

Overall, it's very restrained from the theme of this year's Masters tournament...

But for Qingyu and Mewtwo, this is not a problem.

"Dragon King Scorpion, burrow underground to avoid the attack, then use the Cross Poison Blade to attack!"

Even though he sensed the hidden meaning in Qingyu's gaze, Wusong, with the arrow already on the bowstring, had no choice but to give the order immediately.

His idea was simple: use the fast-paced offensive and Drapion's Dark type to force Mewtwo to trade blows.

Mewtwo's prized psychic powers were completely ineffective against Drapion, which was brimming with dark-attribute energy. Therefore, it couldn't be blasted away instantly by Drapion's psychic powers like Metagross had been.

If the cross-shaped poison blade hits, given the way A-Liu's Dragon Scorpion has been raised, it will definitely trigger a chain reaction, instantly injecting venom into Mewtwo's body.

Compared to highly toxic substances that are easy to predict, this is a tactic that is guaranteed to succeed.

Next, all you need to do is keep wearing down your opponent until Mewtwo gradually loses its ability to fight!

Although it sounds a bit simple, it is a highly feasible method and the best solution that Wusong can think of at the moment.

However, Qingyu's casual command shattered all his illusions in an instant.

"Mewtwo, Earth Power!"

Qingyu spoke with a smile, noticing that Wusong on the opposite side instantly froze in place. He dared to let Drapion and Mewtwo face off head-on, wasn't it because he thought he had control of Mewtwo's move pool and believed his side had a type advantage?

Unfortunately, this is not a problem for Mewtwo at all.

Upon receiving the command, Mewtwo immediately used its psychic powers, then slammed its hands, which were wrapped in psychic energy, onto the ground.

In an instant, a crisp rumble resounded throughout the entire venue. Even those in the back rows of the stands, dozens of meters away, could clearly feel the frenzied roar of the earthquake.

Even though Wusong's Dragon King Scorpion reacted in time, instinctively stopping its burrowing and attempting to dodge the earth's power by leaping and then close in to unleash its poisonous blade, it was all in vain.

After all, it's not a relative of Scorpion King; it doesn't have the ability to fly or glide, and it will have to land sooner or later.

"Dragon King Scorpion, hold on with your momentum! You must hit your opponent!"

Wusong, standing behind it, gritted his teeth and gave the final command.

Metagross was trying to protect itself by defending and slowly figure out Mewtwo's tactics, which is why Yu-sensei seized the opportunity to break through.

The same thing will never happen to me twice!

Faced with a desperate opponent, Mewtwo did not choose to dodge. Instead, while continuously drawing upon the power of the earth, it reached out to try and block the opponent's attack.

Faced with absolute strength, no tricks will affect the outcome.

Even if hit by this attack, Mewtwo is confident that it can finish off the opponent's last Pokémon before the venom takes over.

So just consider it a reward for the brave; there's absolutely no need to hide.

"..."

Qingyu quickly realized Mewtwo's idea, but did not stop it.

After all, this is a rare moment of Mewtwo's chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur). Mewtwo, which doesn't usually express emotions much, is so relaxed, so let it do whatever it wants. Anyway, there are other teammates to back it up.

But you've already imagined yourself as the great demon king on the battlefield so quickly, Hakimon, you rascal...

The motionless Mega Mewtwo became a sitting duck, but Drapion's all-out attack did not cause it any significant damage, and it easily caught the Cross Venom Blade with its bare hands.

Then, Mewtwo, having grabbed Drapion, exerted its strength and slammed the Drapion, which was about the same size as itself, to the ground.

Another round of rumbling swept through, and the already exhausted Dragon Scorpion lost all its strength. Just like the previous Metagross, it rolled its eyes and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Seeing this, Wusong could only sigh helplessly.

There's no way to fight them; the skill gap is just too big...

He could tell that Teacher Yu hadn't even given much direction or thought; he had almost overwhelmed his entire team simply by relying on the power of Mewtwo, a single Pokémon.

If we add Qingyu's terrifying command ability, the situation would probably have been one-sided from the very beginning.

However, the Dragon King Scorpion's dying struggle was not entirely meaningless.

After consuming its final cross-shaped poison blade, Mewtwo's hands and chest were already stained with a small amount of venom, which began to spread rapidly in all directions, constantly eroding its strength.

Mewtwo made no comment, remaining expressionless as it waited for Wusong to send out his last Pokémon, even subtly anticipating easily completing its 1v3 plan, just like Lucario and Sylveon had done before, bringing a perfect victory to Qingyu.

What other Pokémon can do, I can do too, and I can even do it better!
Despite being poisoned, Mewtwo's eyes grew even more determined.

"Next one, hurry up."

Urged on by Mewtwo, Gossou's expression became even more complicated.

However, since the battle was not over yet, he could only look at Qingyu with resentment, then silently recalled the fallen Dracovish and took out his last Pokémon.

"Go, Qilin Qi!"

At this point, if Wusong chooses to stall and Qingyu doesn't plan to rotate, he definitely has a chance to wear down Mewtwo until it is poisoned and loses its ability to fight by relying on the Bronze Bell.

But from the very beginning, his purpose in wanting to defeat Mewtwo was simply to save face and avoid losing too badly in front of Qingyu.

It would be too despicable to use such methods to take a point from Teacher Yu.

Even Wusong himself felt ashamed, and he might not be able to hold his head up in the live broadcast room anymore. Even Da Ye and A Liu would probably laugh at him for a long time.

This is the one thing he absolutely cannot accept!

Faced with a Pokémon's undisguised fighting spirit, Wusong finally chose to draw his sword.

I'll use my best starter Pokémon to challenge your stat-boosting Mewtwo, Mr. Yu!
Even if I lose, I'll lose standing up!
……

"The second contestant to advance to the finals has finally been determined!"

"What a spectacular match! Both sides displayed formidable strength, but in the end, Qingyu's side proved to be the superior one!"

Two minutes later, Wusong's image on the big screen gradually lost color, and Hu Tao in the commentary booth made his judgment.

Faced with the fallen Kirinki, Mewtwo finally breathed a sigh of relief and voluntarily deactivated its Mega Evolution.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mewtwo."

Qingyu didn't immediately use a Poké Ball to recall the poisoned creature. Instead, he slowly walked forward, patted its shoulder, and smiled as he spoke.

"I am pleased with your growth. It seems that you have swept away the shadows of the past and found your own path."

"..."

Upon hearing Qingyu's words, a complex light flashed in Mewtwo's eyes, and it immediately turned its head away without showing any emotion.

"I just sometimes want to do something for you."

Mewtwo's voice was very soft, but it was heard by Aoba, who was very close by.

Qingyu didn't speak, but silently watched its back with a gratified look.

Sure enough, Mewtwo has been raised into a good child.

Although its personality is still a bit reserved, it might actually be that part of its charm.
Just like the proud and aloof Sylveon, it's actually quite cute.

Compared to the happy ending for Qingyu and Mewtwo, Wusong on the other side was clearly on the verge of tears.

Seeing Qingyu's smiling face, Wusong could only turn away silently, bearing all the bitterness alone.

Damn it... Losing the match is one thing, but it feels like I've completely lost to Yu-sensei in my life as a trainer too!
It's just a Mewtwo, I'm not jealous, not at all...

woo woo woo...
