Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"boom!--"

The massive explosion caused smoke and dust that engulfed both the humans and the elves.

"Humans! Leave this place! This is a power you cannot covet!"

An angry voice echoed in my heart.

Garchomp regained its vision.

Tetsuya and Cynthia then looked at the source of the voice, who was sitting cross-legged behind the light screen—a Lucario.

Compared to Lucario who is with Cynthia.

The Aura Sphere in front of me already looks old.

However, physical strength will weaken, while mental strength will become stronger over time.

No one would underestimate this elderly champion-level Pokémon.

This is also a huge difference between humans and elves as they enter old age.

"Luka"

No need for the trainer to speak.

Knowing the background, Lucario started chatting with the "veteran".

Both are waveguide spirits.

They can sense each other's true thoughts.

"Was it actually bewitched by that?"

Perhaps it's because I've been holed up deep in the ancient city for too long, plus I'm quite old.

Old Lucario had no idea what had happened in the outside world before.

It seemed a little dazed at that moment.

This is one of the reasons why the Rangers' League wholeheartedly supports Cynthia taking charge of this matter.

The trust between waveguide spirits is naturally very high.

If it were an ordinary person, Lucario wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

"I understand."

It slowly stood up from the ground, "But in any case, this is what I promised to guard for him."

If you want to take it, prove you deserve it with your abilities.

"Luka"

Cynthia's Lucario nodded with a serious expression.

"In that case, Lucario, charge forward and use Power Surge!"

Upon seeing this.

Cynthia launched the first attack without hesitation.

Lucario's legs swung rapidly.

The small, thin body covered a great distance and appeared in front of old Lucario in the next moment.

A white light surged on his right fist, making it appear extremely powerful.

Seeing this, Old Lucario also assumed the exact same stance and stood in place to retaliate.

Fist, elbow, shoulder, leg...

In an instant.

The white light from the powerful attack flashed wildly like a shooting star deep within the ancient city.

Countless pebbles shot out in all directions.

The surrounding walls were being reduced in thickness at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Tetsuya raised one hand forward.

An invisible psychic force unfolded into a protective shield, enveloping both him and Cynthia within it.

Garchomp looked left and right, wisely refraining from taking over Tetsuya's task, and instead silently weakened the impact of the rocks.

"Lucario, beat me with the bone stick!

Then use Brick Break on the right!

Cynthia, who was completely absorbed in the battle, did not pay attention to her own safety.

She quickly issued the instructions.

Two champion-level Lucarios were locked in combat.

Both of them possess the power of waveguides and can clearly "see" the next step the other will take.

This makes the battle between the two sides seem like a mirror image.

"Watch carefully and learn well."

Tetsuya, who released the Blaziken, gave instructions to his partner.

This is truly a textbook for fighting elves.

No other Pokémon could predict the movements so perfectly.

"Down"

Blaziken observed intently, silently absorbing the experience as a foundation for becoming stronger.

Chapter 627 Absurd Machine (Revised in two hours)

Champion-level Pokémon truly represent the pinnacle of power for ordinary Pokémon.

Even two Fighting-type Pokémon can create an astonishingly large area of ​​destruction.

The ancient castle beneath the ice and snow trembled incessantly.

The wild elves who originally lived there quickly fled with their families.

Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Jynx, Haunter, Sneasel...

There was even a fire-type nine-tailed fox and its two offspring, the six-tailed fox.

God knows why they're here.

If it weren't for the sudden battle, these indigenous people would probably still be living a very comfortable life away from humans.

"Lucario, metallic sound!"

"wow—"

It was accompanied by a sharp and loud noise.

Lucario put the spikes on its claws together and emitted a white sonic wave that shot towards its opponent.

"Ow~"

Seeing this, Old Lucario did not adopt a defensive stance.

It stretched its neck, looked up at the sky, and let out a long howl.

An invisible energy fluctuation enveloped his entire body.

Old Lucario's aura suddenly surged several levels.

Forced to withstand the metallic attack, it panted heavily and dragged its battered body to Lucario's side.

"boom--"

The left and right hands, flashing with white light, struck out alternately.

Cynthia's Lucario disappeared from sight almost instantly.

Only the collapsed wall behind its original location tells the story of what happened.

"Luka"

After finishing the attack, Old Lucario lost his balance and swayed as he knelt on one knee.

The white mist from its rapid breathing made its face somewhat obscured.

"What an amazing willpower."

Zhe couldn't help but sigh.

We would rather suffer heavy losses than not fight back with all our might.

This old Lucario's fighting style is just like that of a fighting maniac who doesn't care about life or death.

but.

He glanced at Cynthia, whose expression remained unchanged and still incredibly cold.

The gap in strength cannot be bridged simply by having a strong will.

"Lucario, Comet Punch!"

Cynthia put her left hand on her hip and swung her right hand forward with great force.

"Lulu—click—"

Amidst the scattered pebbles.

A figure enveloped in dazzling silver light rushed out with lightning speed.

Old Lucario raised his hand in an attempt to resist.

"boom--"

next second.

Its body was then embedded in the rock wall behind it.

The silver light dissipated.

Cynthia's Lucario reappeared in the same spot.

The thorns on his chest bobbed up and down with his rapid breathing.

The messy scars on its cheeks indicate that it's not in very good condition.

The outcome is decided.

Tetsuya was not surprised by this result at all.

Although Lucario's strength has declined considerably due to his age, he is still at the champion level.

With its powerful waveguide, it's not even at the bottom of the class.

pity.

Cynthia's Lucario, as her current second main fighter, is incredibly powerful.

The reason they were able to fight like that was largely due to Lucario's incredibly rich combat experience.

Both being Aura Spirits, they can predict their opponent's next move.

Old Lucario always makes a slight movement faster than Cynthia's Lucario.

Don't underestimate this tiny difference.

In battles between two champion-level Pokémon, this is often the key to determining the outcome.

If it weren't for Lucario's severe lack of stamina...

As a result, it had to endure the damage and weakening effect of the metallic sound to use its long howl to strengthen its attack.

How long this battle will last remains a big question mark.

“Luka..…”

Old Lucario lay on the ground, feeling his exhausted body, but there was nothing unusual in his heart.

As a warrior, it had long been accustomed to the outcome of both winning and losing.
