Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Its two palms, carrying immense power, surged forth like a flood. If Lucario were to be struck by one of these blows, the fragile little Lucario would surely suffer terribly.

However, Lucario remained completely unfazed.

Because of the opponent's upgrade, the first restriction that Su Hao set for Lucario was finally lifted.

Amidst the gasps of disbelief from the martial artists in the preparation area, Lucario instantly gathered his energy and focused his mind. His gaze burned like a torch, and an endless golden aura surged around him, his momentum rising rapidly like a skyscraper rising from the ground.

Continuous Sword Dance, Begin!

"Ouch——!!"

Lucario roared to the sky, feeling the power surging within him, and instantly assumed the starting stance of Wing Chun.

Lucario raised the steel spikes on the back of his hand, aiming at the Iron Palm Warrior who pounced like a hungry tiger, bringing with him a stench of blood. Sparks of silver starlight...

It shimmered, falling into the spikes, causing it to flash with a dazzling silver light like stars.

A cold glint flashed ahead, and then, the fist, like a dragon soaring into the sky, unleashed unparalleled power!

Straight Punch - Comet Punch!

Straight Punch (Direct Strike): The straight punch is one of the core techniques of Wing Chun, swift and powerful. Based on a straight line, it delivers a rapid, direct punch to the opponent through body rotation and arm extension.

And the world seemed to turn black and white in an instant because of Lucario's punch.

Immediately afterwards, Iron Fist Warrior was struck by Lucario's powerful straight punch and was sent flying backward at an even faster speed than when he arrived.

At the same time, a powerful shockwave erupted from Lucario, causing the ground to tremble slightly and the air currents to surge and churn like a rolling river.

This unstoppable energy surge spread outwards, causing ripples in the air and vibrations, like an invincible torrent sweeping across everything around it.

Even someone as heavy as Tang Zhen was forced to lower his body to avoid being blown away by the powerful aftershock.

However, Lucario, who had just thrown a punch as an appetizer, didn't want to waste the precious time for his Everlasting Sword Dance. He moved with lightning speed, transforming into a green light and appearing behind Tang Zhen in an instant at near teleportation speed. His right palm transformed into a blade and fell directly down!

As Tang Zhen collapsed with his eyes rolled back, Su Hao still won his third match with an overwhelming and decisive victory.

Rorschach's gaze grew even more serious.

At the same time, the unease that had been lurking in his heart gradually subsided.

Because Su Hao's trump cards were being forced out little by little as his opponents grew stronger.

..............................

In the second round of the quarterfinals, Su Hao encountered his first professional-level opponent in this tournament.

Unfortunately, the opponent's Pokémon were not very strong in the early stages of the professional level.

That Pokémon was no match for Lucario, which had unleashed its first limit on Continuous Swords Dance and was bursting with power.

On the contrary, its trainer is troublesome. The long-handled mop makes Su Hao, who is good at standing still and showing off, not dare to bet on what this thing has been in contact with. He can only run around the field, afraid of getting a little bit on it.

On the second day after the competition ended, Su Hao's opponent in the semi-finals was decided.

Rorschach, the successor of the Deceptive Fist Dojo, and his Pokémon Abandoned.

Furthermore, there's a high probability this match will turn into a battle between trainers...

------------

The attached image shows Iron Warrior, a paradoxical Pokémon of the Purple and White type, a Fairy/Fighting type.

Iron Warrior looks like both Gardevoir and Gallade, as if it were a stitched-together creation, and its appearance is quite peculiar.

Some believe that Iron Warrior is a robot created by a mad scientist who desperately wanted the strongest Psychic-type Pokémon, and Iron Warrior is rarely seen.

It is ferocious and will not hesitate to slash at any opponent with its gleaming blade.

Chapter 434 Are they having a trainer battle here?

The day of the semi-finals in Zone B.

"Come on, come on, buy it and leave!"

Xia Jie shouted loudly, with a table of just the right size behind him, on which was a television set broadcasting the Fighting Capital Doubles Tournament.

The table in front of the TV was divided into two areas with a large red pen, each with a name written on it. Each area was piled with some strange and unusual things.

The entire retirement villa area learned about this because of Xia Jie's publicity over the past few days, and the elderly people flocked out, each bringing their "bets" to gather here.

These bets include common Pokémon items worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, as well as high-quality evolution stones, various valuable resources, energy cubes, and so on.

If all the bets are combined into one whole portion, the "Rorschach Abandoned Monkey Zone" on the right takes two-thirds of the whole portion, and the "Suholucario Zone" on the left takes one-third of the whole portion.

In other words, most of these elderly people who were once in high positions or very famous, and are now retired, are more optimistic about the Rorschach and Abandoned Monkeys duo.

The reason is simple: while the experience gap between trainers and the level gap between Pokémon can be bridged, once a certain point is reached, it becomes incomprehensible.

Before long, an elderly woman, about the same age as Xia Jie and Luo Ji, arrived after hearing the news.

The old lady was impeccably dressed, adorned with gold and silver. In her youth, she was a powerful female executive director of a multinational mining company.

With Xia Jie and Luo Ji each pushing their own hard, the old lady hesitated for a moment, but then casually took off a round gemstone with a blue background and gold, white and brown patterns and placed it in the Luo Xia Abandoned Monkey Zone.

Luo Ji laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased: "Hahaha, did you see that old scoundrel Xia?! Everyone thinks my grandson will win!"

Xia Jie ignored the shameless old man and instead looked at the old lady curiously, asking, "Miss Mi, can you tell me why you sided with that kid Luo Xia?"

The old lady, called Mi Meizi, smiled at Luo Ji, who looked smug, and said to Xia Jie, whose expression was mysterious for some reason, "Xia Jie has been a trainer for a few more years after all. If Su Hao hadn't sent that elite-level Lucario, I would have voted for him."

"Your grand-disciple's talent is indeed the strongest I've seen in recent years, but I really can't imagine that he could defeat Xia's carefully nurtured Abandoned Monkey with a Pokémon that he had only trained for two or three months."

Upon hearing this, Xia Jie simply smiled and shook his head, offering no explanation or attempt to defend himself.

It seems that everyone's opinion is surprisingly consistent: they all believe that if Su Hao sends out his ace Pokémon, or any of the three professional-level Pokémon from the High School Cup finals, he will definitely be able to defeat Rorschach and Forsaken.

Lucario alone won't be enough.

Unfortunately, they had no idea how monstrous their grandson was, or how outrageous Lucario became with his help.

.............................

At least we've made it to the semifinals of the competition, and the organizers have sent out referees with more professional qualifications.

Accompanied by the host's rousing voice, Su Hao, with Lucario, and Rorschach, with Forsaken, stepped onto the ring.

However, compared to the other semi-final that just ended, the audience's reaction to Su Hao and Luo Xia's appearance was rather lukewarm, with boos heard in some places.

The host himself didn't quite understand why these fighting game enthusiasts were so hostile towards the two trainers who had intruded, but his professionalism compelled him to cough twice and explain:

"The next semi-final match will be between Luo Xia from the Guiquan Dojo and Su Hao, the biggest dark horse of this competition, who is participating as an amateur!"

"Both of them have won the High School Cup in the Way of the Trainers. How will this competition unfold?"

Sparse applause broke out, clearly indicating that people weren't giving the host any face.

But he wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he still mustered all his energy and shouted, "The second match of the semifinals in Zone B, begin!"

"I will beat you with an overwhelming advantage, so be prepared!" Rorschach took two steps back and stood at the edge of the arena, speaking earnestly.

.

Beside him stood a different kind of Primal, unlike the degenerated Infernal. Its white and gray mixed fur was flamboyant and domineering, and its bright red eyes, which were very close to its pig nose, were filled with lingering anger. Primal also aimed its fists at Lucario, unleashing the full power of a pro-level early-stage monkey.

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Hao's eyes. Did this person want to have a Pokémon battle between trainers?

That makes sense, though. Even though Luo Xia, as the successor of the Ghost Fist Dojo, couldn't beat him in terms of raw strength, it's reasonable for him to choose to retreat behind the Abandoned Monkey and take command.

Lucario held his fists horizontally in front of him, remaining unmoved by the pressure from Forsaken, and slowly spread his feet out steadily.

A stance of readiness!

Su Hao was unaware that Luo Xia thought he was too weak and didn't want to bully children.

Luo Xia had no idea that Su Hao was afraid a single missile would wipe him out, leaving him to cry and beg Su Hao not to die.

At this point, both sides believe that they have conceded their greatest advantage in order to achieve a balanced battle!

"Cross chop!"

"Bone with the bone stick!"

Both sides simultaneously issued orders to begin a battle between trainers in what was originally a martial arts-themed tag team tournament.

Isn't this also a form of NtR?

boom!

Abandoned Monkey bursts with amazing speed right from the start, its legs stomping through the ground and its hands crossed in front of its chest, ready to deliver a powerful blow to Lucario right from the start!

Having observed the competition between trainers for so long, Luo Xia understood his master's meaning: he would never underestimate Su Hao just because Su Hao was younger than him.

Go all out and make him understand the chasm created by the time difference between you and him!

Lucario clasped his hands together and then instantly pulled them apart, creating two long bone rods made of energy. Lucario then placed the bone rods across his waist. Through the Aura, the target of the abandoned monkey was Lucario's waist!

Cross Chop: Attacking the opponent by striking with both hands in a cross shape, which is easy to hit vital points.

With its copper head, iron bones, and tofu waist, Lucario's slender waist is indeed its weak point, which is why Resigned Monkey, with the boost from its moves, targets this spot!

Fortunately, Lucario's waveguide gave it top-notch senses and control over its surroundings, allowing it to quickly detect the abandoned monkey's intentions and then block the bone club in front of its waist.

The Abandoned Monkey, with its ferocious aura, slashed fiercely at Lucario's waist with a gust of bloody wind, but was intercepted halfway by the Bone Club.

First came a dull sound like an ancient bell being struck from the point of clash, then the bone club shattered, and Lucario was actually knocked back several meters by the weakened cross slash!
