Chapter 1450: Shattered Dao Heart

"Hoo... hiss..."

"Hoo... hiss..."

Mega Lucario had never felt that even breathing was such a painful thing.

Terastallized Mawile's seemingly light punch not only hit its body, but in a sense, touched its soul.

Its muscles began to tremble, followed by its bones all over its body.

Crack, crack, crack...

Its teeth seemed to be fighting.

Harsh noise came from overhead, accompanied by the host's shouting. It only felt irritable, something was itching in its heart, itching so much it was uncomfortable, gradually overpowering the pain in its body.

What happened to it?

Mega Lucario didn't understand at all. This feeling was the first time, stronger and more unbearable than pain.

Following that, it found that it didn't even have the courage to raise its head, and lost the motivation to take a step forward, and was eager to sit down, wanting to...

Escape?

Mega Lucario at this moment felt like falling into an ice cellar, but suddenly felt that it understood this emotion.

—It's 【Fear】, right.

Terastallized Mawile's fist defeated all its fighting spirit, the invincible power intimidated its soul, making its determination waver, and it began to doubt the reason for fighting.

Sirfetch'd, Dragonite, Gengar, they all fell, paying everything for this battle, but in the end, they didn't even defeat one of the opponent's Pokémon. It had so much confidence before the match, but now it was so desperate.

What was the meaning of continuing to fight?

It seemed, there was no need, right?

Mega Lucario realized that it had been punched awake by Mawile, no longer stubbornly pursuing a match with a doomed ending, not wanting to go back to the field to conduct a futile match.

Ending like this is fine, anyway, the result won't change.

Pikachu...

Right, leave everything to it.

With Pikachu's power, maybe it could defeat one of the opponent's Pokémon.

But so what?

Ash was destined to lose anyway. As early as halfway through the match, as early as discovering that three against one couldn't defeat the opponent, this Masters Eight final had completely ended.

It felt ashamed for being so decadent, didn't dare to look at Ash and Pikachu, and couldn't accept that it, which had used the precious Mega Evolution, had completely lost its fighting spirit.

Mega Lucario's heart was haunted by frustrated thoughts, constantly telling itself that it had done well enough, and facing such an opponent, whoever came would be the same result.

It was at least still awake.

Right.

Sit down.

Don't go back.

Mega Lucario made a low whimpering sound in its throat, its ears trembling slightly, and its vision gradually blurred, as if it had been pasted over by something.

Then, it painfully, slowly took a heavy step forward.

"Woo..."

Sit down, end it, there's no meaning to continue fighting.

Mega Lucario thought of many, many reasons to give up, but still took heavy steps, approaching the battle arena step by step.

Until two fists suddenly appeared before its blurred eyes.

It tried its best to raise its head, and everything in its eyes only became truly clear at this moment, and it also made it see the two pairs of eyes close at hand.

"Welcome back!"

"Pika!"

Ash and Pikachu didn't say any extra words, just extended firm fists toward it with firm smiles.

The pain remained, the fatigue remained, Mega Lucario walked staggeringly and bumped fists with the two.

Azure Aura shrouded its whole body.

Why come back?

Clearly already thought about it very clearly, knowing that this was a match with an unchanging ending, couldn't blame any of them, just fall down and leave everything to Pikachu.

How good.

"Awo-woo."

Mega Lucario looked up at Terastallized Mawile. The sun shrouded the opponent's body, and the brilliant radiance shone on the shattered ground, simply like an angel overlooking the miserable world.

The so-called "fear" at this moment turned into uncontrollable anger, making Aura surge like a tide, causing it to emit a powerful sense of oppression, making its fur sway and making it emit a powerful sense of oppression!

Reason?

Besides self-esteem, what other reason could there be!!

"Awo!!"

Mega Lucario roared at the sky, and Aura turned from ethereal radiance into burning flames, shrouding its whole body.

Rolling airwaves spread from around it, blowing its fur and making it emit a powerful sense of oppression!

The audience and the host let out exclamations in unison.

Ash smiled, "That's right, Lucario, my feelings for you are the same."

The fear Mega Lucario understood was actually unwillingness, unwillingness for its own weakness, unwillingness for the doomed ending.

It didn't want to face such an ending, didn't want to see the dedication of its companions go to waste, even if it was completely impossible to fight the Pokémon on the opposite side, its subconscious made it take steps.

The never-exhausted Aura had already verified its determination, and was even more firm evidence.

Didn't lose.

As long as it was still standing in the arena, it absolutely hadn't lost!

Since it was born from an egg, this was the first time Mega Lucario had been stimulated to have emotions that even it found difficult to control.

The desire for victory, the shame for its own weakness, the anger at the enemy, deeply stimulated this young and sensitive heart, and also made the power of Aura expand desperately.

Wanting to win doesn't need a reason!

Mega Lucario took a deep breath, facing Terastallized Mawile, which had already accumulated pink-colored brilliance and whose fist brilliance reflected the sky, it raised its arms without any hesitation.

"Aura Sphere."

Pure power absorbed everything around like a vortex, gathering light flames with a whirlwind that blurred the vision, forming a pale blue light ball in its palm.

The next moment.

The light ball grew larger.

Then, it continued to grow larger!

It was just a blink of an eye, Mega Lucario had already condensed an Aura Sphere far exceeding itself, enough to completely accommodate the Mawile diving down.

But unlike all the Aura Spheres it had brewed before, the Aura Sphere it held at this moment was dark blue, almost black, and terrifying destructive aura was brewing in it, and the dust on the ground seemed to be attracted, constantly merging into it.

It was simply like a small black hole.

"Awo."

Mega Lucario's eyes were exceptionally calm, as if it had realized the truth, pushing the Aura Sphere forward lightly but firmly.

Greeting the unstoppable fist of Terastallized Mawile.

The audience all held their breath at this moment, including the engineers who came to stabilize the protective device.

Then, dazzling light swallowed the arena.

Couldn't hear the explosion, couldn't hear the roar of energy collision, couldn't even hear the noise on both sides, things called sound were taken away along with the field of vision, leaving only nothingness.

Nothing, nothingness.

Many people even forgot to breathe, until the ground began to vibrate, their butts were forced to leave their seats, and fell under the action of gravity, and continued to repeat this process.

The protective device didn't show any signs of activation, but another light appeared. It blocked the sky-high light pillar shrouded in the arena for the audience, making a sound like teeth-grinding, as if it were about to be destroyed.

Outside the field, most of the residents of Wyndon subconsciously felt that the sky suddenly darkened, and only when they turned their heads did they catch a glimpse of the pure white light pillar shooting straight into the sky, and the five Legendary Giants releasing power around the light pillar, and couldn't help but be stunned.

As if witnessing the moment of a nuclear explosion.

A full ten seconds passed before the light pillar dimmed.

Residents watching the live broadcast looked back at the TV, computer, and mobile phone screens, but what they could see was still a vast expanse of white snow.

"This..."

"Is this the power of Pokémon?"

Even the barrage in the live broadcast room became sparse, everyone was immersed in this moment, and it wasn't until real viewers began to ask about the situation that the barrage continued to fill the live broadcast room.

Inside the arena.

The host exclaimed: "Lucario's final Aura Sphere, collided fiercely with Mawile's Play Rough! What is the result?"

The dust and smoke that shrouded the arena and wouldn't dissipate for a long time made people feel itchy in their hearts.

Under the terrifying silence, everyone finally saw the situation in the arena clearly.

The originally sunken arena was unusually flat at this moment, if one could ignore the trainer seats that were clearly a large section higher on both sides.

Lucario and Mawile were placed on both sides, both maintaining a standing posture.

The difference was that Lucario's Mega Evolution was lifted, while Mawile's Terastallization continued, and the shining Terastallized Fairy crown was dazzling.

"Qi-duo."

It bowed slowly, elegantly and ladylike, expressing respect to Lucario.

The cheers and applause that resounded through the universe exploded, instantly filling the terrifyingly quiet arena, allowing the fanatical atmosphere to return to the arena.

Deng Pei raised his hand: "Lucario is unable to battle, Mawile wins."

Ding.

The light belonging to Ash on the big screen went out again.

The host sighed: "What a pity! Lucario's explosion just now was extraordinary! If its stamina were more abundant..."

This sentence received the approval of many people.

In the audience, Piplup and other Pokémon wearing cheering outfits were in tears. They were more sensitive to emotions than ordinary people, and had already experienced Lucario's emotions through its Aura.

Therefore, they felt especially sorry for it.

Serena was full of worry, afraid that Lucario's defeat would have an impact on Ash.

Misty smiled: "It's okay! Ash won't be defeated so easily!"

She had traveled with Ash for the longest time, and knew very well that this big boy only felt desolate after Charizard's refusal to fight in the Indigo League debut.

There was no one in the world who could be stronger than Ash!

In the lounge.

Leon was also sorry for Lucario, turned his head to look at Cynthia, and was surprised to find that she was gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Ms. Cynthia..."

"Sorry, I also have a Lucario, so."

Cynthia's sensitivity to Aura was actually no less than Ash's, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to easily let her own Lucario master the new Z-type Mega Evolution.

As long as she had the idea and went to practice, she could fully master the power of Aura.

The Aura transmitted by Ash's Lucario was truly moving, and she couldn't help herself.

In fact, it wasn't just her.

A large group of Pokémon that All Baimu entrusted An Xiner to take care of in the preparation room could feel Lucario's mood.

Although they were on the opposite side, it didn't prevent them from empathizing with their opponent.

Even the Calyrex high above the Wyndon Stadium offered applause to Lucario at this moment, and also praised the five Legendary Giants that reacted in time.

Originally, it was ready to take action to block it, but didn't expect the five Legendary Giants to move faster.

Hmm.

Perhaps being placed here was to play a security role?

The noise inside and outside the field spread widely.

But it didn't affect Ash inside.

He raised his hand to recall Lucario, which was standing and had lost consciousness, and said softly: "You did great, Lucario! Your Aura has been clearly transmitted!"

"Pika!"

Pikachu also let out a crisp call.

As the other end of the heart-link, how could Ash not know the wavering in Mega Lucario's heart, but he didn't casually speak to break it.

Just because he believed in his Pokémon, believed that this most strong-willed, most resilient Lucario wouldn't be defeated by a little negative emotion. As long as Aura didn't go out, it would definitely persist!

Yeah.

Unwilling.

This kind of situation that was destined to lose was truly too unwilling.

But precisely because of this, they had to continue fighting, turn all the unwillingness into power, and defeat the enemy.

Looking back at the years of travel, similar situations were common.

So what?

Being able to continue fighting, waiting for the victory that would come one day, was the reason they were in the Masters Eight finals.

Ash looked up, took a deep breath, and then turned his head to smile at Pikachu.

They were the initial partners, and would rely on each other at this final moment. No matter how powerful the opponent was, it couldn't shake their hearts.

"Pikachu!"

"Pi!"

"Get ready to go! It's time for us to perform!"

"Pika!"

Pikachu looked back at All Baimu on the opposite side, its eyes full of high-spirited fighting spirit, and also carrying the last hope of its companions.

The final highlight was coming!

The host also shouted: "Ash sent out his last Pokémon! Will All Baimu switch?"

Amidst the shouts echoing through the arena, the audience turned their eyes to All Baimu on the other side.

Only to see him open his mouth slightly.

"Baton Pass."

The next instant.

Terastallized Mawile erupted with dazzling radiance, which gathered in mid-air to form a shining ring.

Following that, Terastallized Mawile flew into the Poké Ball in All Baimu's hand, and another Poké Ball opened accordingly.

Bang!

Thud!

Two sounds in succession, one light and one heavy.

The earth that had been plowed by the shockwave trembled lightly, carrying the figure shining with silver brilliance in the sun.

The ring suspended in mid-air merged into its body, turning into churning orange-red light.

Countless people in the audience held their breath.

"Mawile's ability changes are inherited by Aggron through Baton Pass!" The host shouted.

His voice seemed to have a certain impact, making many in the audience feel the pressure coming toward them.

Aggron inherited Mawile's buffs?

Countless people gasped, subconsciously recalling the buff moves Mawile had used.

One Swords Dance, one Iron Defense...

Plus one Power-Up Punch!

Multiple boosts created its previous terrifying suppression power, even neutralizing Mega Lucario's final Aura Sphere.

Now, it inherited it to Aggron?

The audience felt clear despair and fatal pressure for the first time! ===== CHAPTER 1451 =====
