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

However, this power ultimately did not belong to him.

Its goal is to possess legendary strength without relying on Su Hao, except for super evolution!

Lucario lowered his body slightly, gathering his energy and focusing his mind.

A dazzling light, like the brilliance of stars, flowed across Lucario's iron fist. Then, it stomped its feet on the ground without reservation. This time, the ground instantly cracked open, and Lucario's body shot out like a steel cannonball!

next moment--

boom! ! !

Lucario's Comet Punch collided with the Furious Punch, which was accompanied by a terrifying energy hurricane, unleashing a massive shockwave!

The arena began to crumble simply from the aftershocks of the clashes between attacks.

Along with the arena, the seemingly invincible fist of fury and Rorschach's desperate expression froze as the fist of fury shattered, before collapsing!

Lucario easily broke through the Furious Punch, and the abandoned monkey, whose muscles felt as if they were being pricked by needles, was powerless to resist and died under Lucario's Bullet Punch.

Rorschach, who was too close, was thrown to the ground by the aftershock of the attack and fell unconscious, unable to understand what was happening.

The attack that he and the Abandoned Monkey fought with all their might was so easily broken!?

For a moment, the whole place was silent.

"Victory... victory... the winner is Su Hao and Lucario!!"

The host's stammering voice rang out, and he touched his pounding heart, feeling a sudden surge of nervousness.

Aside from the fact that the trainers didn't actually fight, how is this match any different from the finals?

This match was a complete showdown where both sides revealed their cards; you were on the first level, and I was on the second.

It's like a Russian nesting doll.

Many martial artists who suffered heartbreaking defeats in tag team tournaments in fighting capitals are also asking themselves these questions.

How are these simple, big guys who go all out when they encounter these two trainers who are more cunning than the other, with a hidden agenda that's longer and more complicated than their own elders' foot binding cloth?

In the preparation area, He Ming originally thought he could easily break through and participate in the championship battle, but now he hesitated.

Can he and Machamp really defeat that monster-like Lucario?

Even if Su Hao, the weakling who is a trainer, is easily defeated by me, how is Lucario supposed to fight?

The mysterious energy cloak meant that the abandoned monkey's attacks couldn't even penetrate its defenses, leaving the attacker completely bewildered as to how to fight it.

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

In fact, He Ming's guess was correct.

While Su Hao feigned death by falling to the ground, the Lucario unleashed a brutal attack on him and Machamp.

Su Hao has successfully advanced and will face off against the other three regional champions as the champion of Zone B.

Back at Xia Jie's villa.

Su Hao looked at Xia Jie, who had a smug expression on his face, as if he had struck it rich, and his lips twitched.

Faced with a table full of rare and precious items, his expression momentarily broke down.

In it, he even saw...

Meow meow, everyone knows this, so I won't explain it.

Chapter 438 Exploring the Waveguide Outerwear

“Luca.........”

Cold sweat poured down his face as Lucario felt immense pressure from being stared at by nine pairs of eyes.

"Lucario, show me that again... yes, the one from the race...!"

Xia Jie rubbed his hands together, his smile making Lucario feel somewhat lewd, like a perverted old man staring at a teenage girl.

Even though Lucario is a boy... I still felt a chill.

However, since he was Su Hao's father's master, even though Lucario had never actually met Su Hao's father, he still chose to give him face and slowly condensed his Aura.

Soon, a somewhat blurry and rough waveguide jacket was slowly draped over Lucario's body.

Seeing this, Xia Jie frowned, and finally muttered, "When I saw it on live TV, I remember it looked even more stylish, with all sorts of details..."

However, this thing in front of me, which can only be described as having the shape of clothing... is hard to describe.

It's like when he downloads a 4K high-definition resource from a cloud drive, but it ends up playing as 360p.

Or perhaps the doubles players themselves added special effects during the live stream?

Su Hao's lips twitched. He secretly used the connection to send some Aura to Lucario, who was working hard to maintain the Aura Coat, to lighten the load. Then he smoothed things over, saying, "This is a technique that Lucario came up with on a whim when it broke through. There is still room for improvement."

"Hmm... alright then." Xia Jie didn't dwell on it too much. Anyway, some trainers' Pokémon had mastered similar special techniques before. If it was just like in the live stream, increasing output and providing defense, it wouldn't be too rare.

Unless there are other functions.

Thinking of this, Xia Jie said to Su Hao, "This technique can be developed further over some time; it can be considered a technique comparable to perpetual enhancement."

Su Hao nodded. It was certain that the waveguide jacket was comparable to the perpetual enhancement, but his intuition told him that the waveguide jacket probably had other functions waiting for him and Lucario to develop.

In his mind, Su Hao also thought of several related things as a reference.

However, everything depends on the actual testing of how many functions the waveguide jacket actually has.

Su Hao chatted with Xia Jie as they walked into the room, and watched them walk away.

The seven Pokémon surrounded Lucario, some giving it a go, others asking questions.

Incineroar's expression held a hint of resentment. It hadn't even mastered its own Strange Flame technique yet, and Lucario had already created its own Aura Coat so quickly. This was unbearable...

Milotic wanted to try to copy it, so it used a water ring to wrap around the snake's body and then used its psychic powers to shape the water ring.

Unfortunately, either the water ring didn't react at all when the superpower output was too small, or it shattered directly when the superpower was pulled with greater force.

Milotic, who never forgets the competitive spirit and tries to steal Lucario's ideas, has also become a Muggle.

Doronbaluto observed the flow of energy in the waveguide cloak with its narrow dragon eyes, while its dragon head pondered whether it could break through the defense by launching its younger brother and sister.

The siblings Doromesia chirped questions into Lucario's ears from either side, and even tried to poke the waveguide's outer shell with the tip of their tails.

The Emerald Warrior Eagle paid no heed to this, focusing intently on studying the silver feathers hidden beneath its thick breast feathers, hoping to resonate with them once more and then control the storm.

Ye Yibu and Tie Hanhan were also eager to test their swords and iron heads to see if they could pose a threat to the waveguide cloak.

Diancie was much more reliable than them. She immediately realized that the Waveguide Outerwear was not so easy to replicate, and focused on developing her abilities before breaking through to the Gym level.

How to develop one's own Mega Evolution form, the connection between Z-Moves and Glorious Power, etc.

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

The second day will feature the semifinals, finals, and exhibition matches of the Fighting Capital Tag Team Tournament.

Furthermore, the four partitions of the Formula Battle Arena will be removed, directly forming a super-large battle arena.

In the packed arena of the Formula Battle, Su Hao, as Lucario's accessory, was finally accepted by most viewers, who acknowledged his status as a dark horse.

After all, Lucario is indeed powerful.

Despite having Su Hao as a mere accessory, they managed to make it into the real semi-finals. Even though they suffered a heartbreaking defeat due to a two-on-one situation, it was enough to prove their worth.

Some on the forum even suggested that if Su Hao were replaced by any martial artist with professional-level combat power, the combination of Lucario and the martial artist would sweep the entire tournament.

"I've been treating you like an accessory, what do you think?" Qin Gang sat down next to Su Hao and teased him.

"How else can you watch it? Sitting, lying down, or standing is all fine!"

Su Hao didn't care at all; there was nothing wrong with being a decorative accessory.

This way, opponents will underestimate you, and you'll only be effective at the crucial moment.

Su Hao pursed his lips and asked, "Brother Qin, how much do you know about the other two opponents?"

Qin Gang raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment before replying, "Hmm...we're all old rivals. We just haven't had time to participate in the doubles tournament these past two years, which is why He Ming won last year's championship."

"Wow~" Su Hao's face showed surprise, and he grinned, "So, they're all stronger than He Ming and Guai Li?"

"Including you, Brother Qin."

Qin Gang laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said, "Don't think I don't know you're trying to trick me."

Su Hao showed no embarrassment, chuckling, "So you've been exposed so quickly?"

"No, you're really asking for trouble." Qin Gang reached into his pocket for his cigarette pack but found nothing. Remembering that he was trying to quit smoking, he sighed and changed the subject, "However, it's not like we can't talk about this information."

“My opponent, Lan Ruosi, and his Gallade are very troublesome, especially now. I haven’t figured out an effective way to limit Gallade’s teleportation, even though I am stronger in terms of combat power.”

"As for your opponent NIO, be careful of his combined attacks with Onion Soldiers. You need to think about how to deal with Sword and Shield. Their attacks are relentless and give you no chance to breathe. They are very difficult to deal with."
