Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

Her once neatly combed hair was now a mess, all clumps together.

His handsome face was covered in dust.

Even in such a sorry state, Hiro and Lucario were unable to get close to the palace.

Having been tricked by alpacas before, most of the soldiers patrolling the area returned to the palace and had no chance to move forward!

"According to the information I've gathered, tonight is the so-called National Day celebration."

"It's probably the day Arceus and Damos agreed upon!"

"If we can't obtain the Life Jade, the mission will probably be considered a failure!"

"Besides, if this drags on too long, it'll be harder to appease Xiaolu..."

Thinking of this, Hao Yan said to Lucario beside him, "Little Lucario, we must break through and find that person named Kishin, and take back the Life Gem from him!"

"This time, we can't back out!"

"Luca!"

Lucario nodded emphatically.

"Come on, Lucario, go back into your Poké Ball first." Hao Yan used a Poké Ball to recall Lucario.

They also changed into uniforms similar to those of the soldiers.

He disguised himself as an ordinary soldier, attempting to infiltrate the palace and then find Qixin at an opportune moment.

... ...

Hao Yan carefully evaded the soldiers' patrols and successfully blended into the group of patrolling soldiers.

Just as they were about to leave the group and head into the palace.

A soldier leader looked at him with suspicion: "Hey, tall guy, I've never seen you before?"

After speaking, the soldier leader walked toward Haoyan with a wary expression.

Hao Yan's face hardened; he knew he couldn't be fooled.

He quickly put his hand on his waist and pulled out the Poké Ball containing Lucario.

"Xiao Ou, come out!"

"Luca!"

As soon as Lucario left the Poké Ball, it quickly went to protect Haoyan.

The leading soldier looked shocked: "Carry the magical beast with you at all times!"

"You...you must be a spy!"

After saying that, he pointed the weapon in his hand at Haoyan.

Meanwhile, the Pokémon around them were also staring at Lucario with unfriendly expressions.

"Don't let this spy escape!"

"Let's go together!"

The soldier leader shouted and quickly raised his spear, thrusting it towards Haoyan.

At the same time, the soldiers also commanded the 'monsters' to attack Lucario.

"Little Ou, Mega Evolution!"

"Luca!"

Lucario unleashed his full power, no longer concealing his strength.

It turned into a sharp sword!

Lucario, a mid-level legendary Pokémon, completely overwhelmed the average gym leader at the top level in terms of strength.

But people and Pokémon of this era seem to have witnessed far too much life and death.

The soldiers controlled Arcanine, Magmortar, Pidgeotto, and Sandslash, all of which launched a fearless attack.

"Xiao Ou, don't linger, let's go!"

Hao Yan gave a shout, activated his wave guide power to explore the surroundings, and sped towards the interior of the palace.

"Luca!"

Lucario knocked down an Arcanine with one punch, then followed closely behind Haoyan and sped forward!

... ...

Haoyan sped along, rapidly traversing the palace.

But gradually, he found that the space he could maneuver and dodge was getting smaller and smaller.

Finally, there was no way out for him!

In a large square within the palace, thousands of soldiers were gathered.

Each soldier carries their own fearless Pokémon.

Even Hao Yan and Lucario, a mid-level legendary Pokémon, were no match for thousands of hands!

"This is going to be terrible!"

Hao Yan's expression turned serious.

Facing a dense horde of enemies, life and death seemed to hang in the balance in an instant.

"With so many enemies, even if Little Shooter unleashed a few earthquakes, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it!"

"It would probably require a more powerful Rayquaza, and the use of Dragon Cluster with a wider range and greater power..."

"It's a pity that Rayquaza doesn't seem to recognize me yet..."

As Hao Yan was pondering, countless soldiers raised their spears and launched an attack.

Various attacks came at Lucario.

... ...

Meanwhile, far away in the ozone layer of the Hoenn region, Rayquaza is eating meteorites.

Then he heard a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar calling him.

This sound has been going on for three whole days!

Rayquaza sat with its enormous dragon eyes, looking in the direction of the Sinnoh region with a puzzled expression.

His eyes were filled with confusion.

Finally, he could no longer hold back and wanted to find out what was going on.

Stretching its hundred-meter-long divine body, it flew towards the direction where Haoyan was.

... ...

"Luca!!!"

Lucario roared and, relying on its body forged of steel, forcefully smashed through the Pokémon blocking its path.

Just as a spear was about to pierce Haoyan's body, he blocked the attack.

"Xiao Ou, are you alright?"

Haoyan swung the spear he had snatched, forcing back several people in front of him, and then turned to look at Lucario.

Lucario's steel-like body had turned completely crimson.

Even the martial arts master Hao Yan himself felt helpless against the overwhelming force of the enemy surrounded by numerous soldiers.

Lucario, surrounded by numerous Pokémon, fared no better.

In particular, a considerable number of Fire-type Pokémon, such as Arcanine and Magmortar, can significantly impact Steel- and Fighting-type Lucario.

"Luca!"

Lucario and Haoyan stood back to back and replied that they were alright.

They warily surveyed their surroundings, ready to launch another attack at any moment.

Although their opponents were relentless, Hiroki and Lucario's strength had already surpassed theirs.

Basically, a third of the soldiers and Pokémon present had been defeated.

This also made the soldiers and their Pokémon feel apprehensive.

They simply surrounded them, seemingly waiting for something.

Taking advantage of this moment, Haoyan mobilized the power of Tokiwa within his body to continuously replenish Lucario's energy reserves.

And to repair his injuries.

We plan to launch an attack and break out of the encirclement once Lucario has recovered sufficiently.

Just then, the soldiers surrounding Haoyan made way for him.

A red-haired man stepped out from the wall of people.

Hao Yan recognized the other party at a glance; it was none other than Qi Xin, the schemer who plotted against the alpacas!

When Qi Xin first saw Hao Yan, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Although Hao Yan's current attire is no different from that of the other soldiers.

But how could the sun's rays be so easily obscured?

A unique temperament, always so dazzling and outstanding.

Although Kissin is not a superhuman, he has a naturally keen sixth sense.

A voice inside him was telling him this.

If we don't kill Haoyan!

His plan to kill the god will fail!
