Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

Level: [Master]

Prop: [Black Glasses]

Technique: [Dark Nether Strike...]

A legendary Pokémon of master level, the Martial Arts Urshifu!

Su Hao's eyes widened; this was the first time he had ever seen a Master-level Pokémon in the Pokémon world!

The Mastedt before us is truly a man of few words.

Moreover, and more importantly...

Su Hao's eyes lit up slightly, and he already had a request to make to Ma Shide.

He waved his hand gently and said, "Reshiram."

A burst of fire appeared out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, a pure white dragon appeared before Ma Shide, Dan Di, and the martial arts master Xiong Shi, who was on high alert.

Masted felt a rare sense of pressure and urgency. He held the Poké Ball, aimed it at Urshifu, and then recalled it, revealing the Max Band on his wrist.

"In that case, this old man will go all out! Urshifu Master, Gigantamax!"

As the inflated Poké Ball was thrown by Master, a dark red cloud enveloped the sky, and the enormous figure of Gigantamax Urshifu appeared along with it.

Its body fur has turned mainly white, covered with red stripes, making it look very imposing.

"Gigantamax, lethal strike!"

Masted shouted with resounding force.

Dark energy, tinged with crimson, covered the fist of G-Max Urshifu One-Hit Strike, and its signature move "Dark Strike" was upgraded to "G-Max Killer Strike," blasting towards Reshiram with terrifying power that seemed to tear through the air and space!

In response, Su Hao simply said, "Reshiram, Azure Flame."

Reshiram nodded slightly, and with a thought, a pure blue flame, as clear as crystal, shot into the sky.

Gigantamax Urshifu: One-Hit Stance

Chapter 1187 The Secrets of One-Hit Strike Style

boom--!

In the violent explosion, the Dynamax energy dissipated, the distorted space around Gigantamax Ursaring was restored, and its size rapidly shrank back to its original form.

With a thud.

Martial Arts Master Xiong fell to the ground.

Its robust body was covered with burn marks, which gives an idea of ​​the powerful attack it had endured.

Dan Di was filled with surprise.

He only learned today that his master's martial arts bear master had successfully advanced to the divine realm and was able to contend with many legendary elves.

Unexpectedly, the Gigantamax Urshifu, further amplified after Gigantamaxing, was defeated by Reshiram after only three Gigantamax moves.

Three moves to defeat them!

Even among the higher-ranking legendary Pokémon, this Reshiram is probably one of the stronger ones.

"We've lost! We've lost!"

Upon seeing this, Ma Shide stroked his goatee, shook his head, and looked utterly helpless.

"Tell me what you want!"

Before Su Hao could speak, Ma Shide's eyes lit up as if he had come up with an idea, and he said, "Why don't you join my martial arts school too!"

"The initial stage of the Martial Arts Bear Master, the Bear Disciple, is called the Secret Armor at Master Ma's Martial Arts School, and it's given to anyone who joins!"

"Although it's not as good as Reshiram, Urshifu is still a legendary Pokémon with quite good potential. More importantly, it can cultivate a bond with its Pokémon from a young age!"

Ma Shide was like a salesman, enthusiastically promoting his martial arts school and his disciple Xiong, to the point that even Dan Di, who was standing to the side, almost couldn't hold back.

When I first became a disciple, my master said that I had to pass a test to receive the secret armor, which meant I was qualified to inherit it.

Unfortunately, he failed the second stage because he didn't know the way, thus missing out on becoming a valuable apprentice for novice trainers.

The same is true.

Among the legendary spirits of various regions, the martial arts bear masters, who possess a clan, are among the most approachable.

In the initial stage, Urshifu can develop a bond with its trainer and progress together. The evolved Urshifu is quite powerful, and it can also Gigantamax to further enhance its battle strength.

The Isle of Armor that Mastedt bought is the habitat of the Martial Arts Bear Master clan, where a small number of Martial Arts Bear Masters live.

Simultaneously.

As a legendary Pokémon, Urshifu has a considerable potential and a fast growth rate. Mastedt once relinquished his Champion title after his partner Pokémon passed away, but after retraining Urshifu, as Su Hao observed, it has already reached Master level, which indirectly proves Urshifu's potential.

Faced with Ma Shide's enthusiastic invitation, Su Hao thought that if it were during the early stages of his career, he might have gladly accepted Ma Shide's invitation and trained a promising apprentice who could grow alongside him.

However, the team is already basically saturated, and adding more members would only require more effort.

Whether it's a Fighting-Dark type one-hit combo or a Fighting-Water type Urshifu combo, Su Hao's team already has Pokémon with the same roles. It's possible, but unnecessary.

Not to mention that after the Pokémon World Championships, Su Hao would have to find a way to return to the Ultra World, and then use the Ultra World as a transit point to return to Earth.

He could no longer find the time to visit Masde.

With this in mind, Su Hao, who already had an idea, had a clearer answer in his mind.

"I still have things I need to do."

"Regarding the matter of joining the martial arts school, I'm sorry, but I must decline."

Su Hao initially declined Ma Shide's invitation.

Although Ma Shide was disappointed, he was prepared for this and nodded generously, saying, "Old man, I understand."

"But an agreement is an agreement. Old man, I said I have one request: as long as it's within my power, just ask for it!"

Su Hao nodded slightly, took out a deluxe ball, and pressed the button.

A red light flashes, and Lucario appears.

Looking at Lucario, Mastedt's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

As arguably the world's strongest Fighting-type specialist trainer, Master has an excellent eye and immediately recognized how well this Lucario had been trained.

Compared to its counterparts with a slender upper body and strong lower body, this Lucario has a more robust and well-proportioned physique, an imposing presence in every movement, and an unwavering gaze in its eyes—all of which are pluses for this Lucario.

But what surprised Mastedt the most was Lucario's "Aura".

Those who practice martial arts inevitably deal with the so-called "qi". Martial artists of the Ma Shide lineage regard "qi" more as a characteristic of an individual life.

Masted was amazed by the "aura" of this Lucario.

Lucario, who was already exceptionally gifted and destined to be a martial arts prodigy, possessed an absurdly perfect aura, as if he could master all martial arts techniques and reach a state of perfection at any time if he so desired.

This is bizarre, absolutely bizarre!

This was the first time Masted had ever seen such an outrageous Lucario.

However, Su Hao suddenly called Lucario out at this moment. Could it be that he wanted to...?

Su Hao patted Lucario on the shoulder and said to Mastedt, "I only have one request. During the time you stay in Gongmen City, I would like Lucario to follow your Martial Arts Master, Ushio, and learn the secrets of One-Strike Style."

Not bad.

Since Ma Shide has come to him, Su Hao naturally wants to make the most of it.

"The secret of the One-Hit Strike Style..."

Masted frowned slightly, looked at Lucario, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"This is the ultimate technique of the Dark attribute, something that Lucario, with only a 'Heart of Justice,' could never possibly master..."

Lucario is a Pokémon that hates evil. Although the Dark type does not necessarily mean evil, Lucario itself is not compatible with the word "evil".

Learning Dark Nether Strike or something like that is pure fantasy.

Su Hao had naturally considered Ma Shide's concerns long ago.

First, Lucario also possesses the trump card of "Origin Power," making it easy for him to learn Dark Strike when faced with a power that can adapt to everything.

but.

Su Hao wouldn't let Lucario waste its precious "Origin Power" on this.

If we're going to copy or replicate, then at least we should choose the power of a legendary spirit of the Time-Space Twin Dragons level.

Therefore, Su Hao's initial goal was simply to let Lucario learn the essence of the Martial Arts Bear Master: One-Strike Style, the meaning of "Dark Strike," and master the techniques and the intent of the fist, taking advantage of the remaining "Origin Power."

Thinking of this, Su Hao looked seriously into Ma Shide's eyes and said, word by word, "Senior Ma Shide, we only intend to learn the techniques."

Next, Su Hao gave a brief overview of his thoughts.

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

Chapter 1188 The Finals

Ma Shide ultimately accepted Su Hao's request.

For the next period of time, he will stay in the city of Miyagi and let his master-level Urshifu, One-Strike Style, teach Lucario the secrets of One-Strike Style.

Lucario will continue his training with Mastas until Su Hao leaves.

This also means that Lucario will have to miss tomorrow's Pokémon World Championships, the Masters Eight knockout stage, and the final match between Ash and Lucario.

Fortunately, there are sufficient combat reserves. Even if Su Hao chooses to prioritize the development of Lucario, there are still options to fill the combat power gap.

Before leaving, Su Hao even treated Reshiram's injuries so that it could teach Lucario more diligently and earnestly.

after all.

What Ma Shide envisioned as at least half a month of intensive training was, in Su Hao's plan, a bit more rigorous, with a time limit of only one or two days.

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

The next day.
