Ditto doesn't move

"Hey (battle against Ditto? Isn't that a bit...)"

Milotic, who had just finished treating Garchomp and was standing next to Magmar, couldn't help but let out a worried sound.

Milotic, who has been competing in the highest-level tournaments with trainers for many years, how could it not know that this is a Pokémon that can be called magical, but does not leave a strong impression?

Why? Why does everyone look so serious?

The duck-billed fire beast, as if it had just escaped from a near-death experience, glanced at the other party but offered no explanation.

But it has absolute faith in that seemingly insignificant Ditto.

Can you do it? Win the championship?

Can you break through the Emperor's true form, that almost invincible first form?

Volume Two: Grand League Chapter 137 Croak! The Emperor humiliates the champion!!!

"Lucario!!! Bullet Punch!!!"

Having successfully returned to her familiar battle arena, Cynthia's aura instantly surged! Exploded! Exploded!

Kill kill kill kill kill!

Lucario's current aura is ten to nine times stronger than Garchomp's before!

Incomparably domineering, incomparably arrogant!

With an iron will and steel-like resilience, it can unleash a heavy punch even on an adorable, pale purple little dumpling!

With a single strike, he unleashed a barrage of powerful punches, each one capable of easily shattering a thousand-pound boulder!

Nevertheless, Lucario is known to have been slightly restrained by its trainer.

If you let it perform two sword dances first, it will unleash even greater power. This bullet punch could kill even a god!

The kind-hearted Milotic turned away with a hint of reluctance, silently gathering its healing power.

Among the regulars of teams most frequently used by champions, Milotic seemed to have already foreseen the sight of his opponent being beaten unconscious by his own teammates.

However, what it didn't notice was that just as it turned its head to the side, the duckbill firebeast let out a disdainful snort.

At the same moment, Lucario's expression changed drastically as he swung his fist with incredible speed...

The feel of it is off.

It didn't feel like hitting a Pokémon's body; it felt more like... gravel?

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound waves from the high-speed punches rang in my ears, and what came into view was a beach that looked like a series of bomb explosions.

As the dust settled again, Ditto, who should have been unconscious after taking so many punches, lay perfectly unharmed on the spot.

She even yawned as if she was bored, and then revealed a smile that made Sister Cabbage's forehead veins bulge!

Emperor (humorous).

"Do you understand now? My first layer of defense?"

It then turned back into a light purple dumpling.

"Lucario?"

Suppressing her anger, Sister Cabbage clenched her fists and finally spoke.

The pale blue dog-type Pokémon is what the trainer is asking about – what's so strange about it?

What went wrong?

Lucario stepped back to its original position and raised its hand to look at the powerful punch that had just unleashed Steel-type energy.

A very bad premonition inexplicably arose in my heart.

"Road! (Check the venue!)"

As he spoke, Lucario lunged forward again and threw another punch without waiting for instructions.

This time, having been alerted, Cynthia stared wide-eyed at her opponent's movements and finally glimpsed some secrets of the Emperor's First Form.

The spiked fist did indeed strike the opponent's body, and then, like a normal beating, the force caused the opponent's skin to dent...

then……

They went through it?!

"One more time, [Bullet Punch]!"

As if struck by lightning, Cynthia cried out.

Riolu instantly understood its trainer's intentions and began to recharge. However, this time, Emperor seemed too lazy to explain and deliberately slowed down its defensive movements, resulting in the following scene:

As Lucario throws its fist and makes contact with the skin, the area corresponding to the fist contracts outwards to avoid it.

It was as if every punch from Lucario pierced through the Emperor's body.

Suddenly, a hole appeared in Ditto's body, just big enough for a fist to fit through.

This time, the emperor did not restore his body to its original state.

When Lucario stopped, Emperor, whose size had inexplicably increased several times, looked at his body, which resembled a beehive, and revealed the same mocking smile as before.

"The Emperor's first lesson: if you miss, even the greatest power is worthless!"

"Give me two more moves, and then I'll start my attack."

Then, it condensed back into a small ball, and instead of attacking, it simply continued to lie lazily in place.

The power of change, isn't it amazing!

Milotic, turning its head again, saw the same scene, and only one word came to mind:

Shocked.

It was as if the barbarians, who had fought their way up through countless battles, had encountered an elemental pirate fruit for the first time.

How can a fist made of flesh and blood hit water, smoke, or air?

Simply...

Invincible!

Invincible in a physical sense!

Faced with this invincible stance that would kill most physical attacks on their first strike, Cynthia did not give up. Instead, her eyes shone even brighter, and her momentum grew stronger.

"Physical attacks are ineffective, so let's use special attacks!"

"Use that for full coverage!"

Lucario nodded slightly, then instantly leaped several meters into the air, crossing his arms in front of his chest:

Cannonball! Master Spark!!!

That breathtaking, thousand-mile-long crimson cloud attack has already captivated the vast majority of trainers.

Unfortunately, the gradually calming sky seemed to indicate that the battle was nearing its end.

Most people were still savoring the scene they had just witnessed and did not regret their hesitation.

But the battle is not over yet.

Boom!

Like a heavy hammer striking the air, a dull, suffocating sound came from the beach.

Immediately following was a super beam of light, as dazzling as the previous purple flames, that swept diagonally across the highest peak of Melemele Island.

It's not over yet! It's not over yet!!!

The trainers, who already resembled a spectator in the Magnetic Field Bloodbath, cheered loudly and headed towards the location where the magic cannon had been fired.

But what about the situation on the battlefield?

"The Emperor's second lesson is that your opponent will always have various ways to dodge your attacks, so don't be discouraged easily."

The place was empty except for the sound.

The source seems to be... underground?

But the light beam just now scraped away a layer of sand, and there was no sign of it using a digging technique...

Cynthia looked around the empty space repeatedly, almost wanting to rub her eyes.

But just like before, the Emperor has no intention of concealing his technology.

From a hole no bigger than a thumb, resembling a crab blowing bubbles, a long and tall, seemingly crystallized, sharp thorn slowly grew out, then gradually softened and coalesced into a ball.

"There's only one move left, and I won't dodge it." (8.3) Lingqi Wuba

Ditto still wore that strange smile.

This is an insult.

It was as if the anger welled up from the bottom of my heart naturally.

Lucario, already panting heavily, stood to the side of the field and realized this.

Without waiting for its master's command, Gu unleashed all its power, delivering the strongest and most powerful punch of the entire battle!

TMD Waveguide Power, Steel Power, Battle Aura Power, come forth!!!

Like most gym trainers, how could Cabbage not have new insights after watching that battle?

What was projected onto Lucario was not the same as Riolu's use of it as a new sense.

Instead, it transforms the triple power into fuel that catalyzes the explosion, achieving the most ferocious destructive force!

You've already lost!

Volume Two: The Grand Alliance Chapter 138 You Made Me Bleed

Waveguide power! Steel power! Fighting spirit power!

Three forces combined! Damn waveguide explosive punch!

Powerful! ...

A punch born from rage, fighting spirit, and supreme power, even without a trainer's instructions, even without understanding the realm of life's transformation.

Cynthia's Lucario relied entirely on its own power to push this powerful punch to a level of over ten thousand!

What the hell can stop such power? What can possibly stop it?!

Even Ditto, who seemed to have made a boastful claim, instantly grew dozens of times larger after taking this punch that resembled a cosmic phantom!

It was as if it had been violently inflated to the point of bursting, as if it would explode at the slightest touch with a needle.

An immense power was surging across its nearly transparent, pale purple skin, creating visible ripples of fist energy.

Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!

Even the duck-billed fire beast, who had absolute faith in the Emperor, couldn't help but feel a little worried at this moment.

Champion Pokémon never lack stats; they're just still getting used to the new battle system.

Although it cannot yet be called technology, it has already begun to take shape.

The Emperor...

"Lu (How about this punch? You arrogant guy?!)"

Although Gu was exhausted and stiff from using all his strength, he saw that he had finally hit the slippery guy in front of him...

Lucario was laughing wildly, feeling even more exhilarated than when he had defeated a thousand or ten thousand enemies!

It was so exciting that I couldn't help but pull out my penis!

It was at this moment that he seemed to finally be unable to withstand the explosive force of the punch coursing through his body.

A small opening finally appeared in Ditto's almost transparent skin, and all its power poured out through that small wound as if it had found a source.

Bang!

The enormous explosion reverberated in everyone's ears.
