Chapter 776

*Swish*!!!

The leek sword swept out with the force of breaking the air, and Su Hao jumped high, narrowly avoiding Wei Lai's attack.

Immediately after, another leek shield, clanging with the sound of metal, crashed into his blind spot from behind.

Under Sirfetch'd's surprised gaze, Su Hao took a side step to avoid it, an expression of annoyance and shame appearing on his face.

Damn it, why aren't you guys fighting Lucario, why are you hitting me, the one slacking off?

Su Hao scanned Lucario with his peripheral vision; Aura energy was flowing in its hands, and it seemed to be holding back some big move.

At this time, Wei Lai and Sirfetch'd also noticed something wrong. Originally, they had planned to knock Su Hao, the accessory trainer who might interfere with commands, off the field at the start, and then join forces to break Lucario.

They hadn't expected this guy to be as slippery as a loach, and it was as if he had eyes in the back of his head; no matter how he and Sirfetch'd switched weapons to attack, he could detect and dodge it immediately.

The most incredible thing was that this person could actually keep up with their speed. Now, Wei Lai was a little doubtful if the outside world's evaluation of Su Hao was really correct.

However, he couldn't think too much now. Switching weapons with Sirfetch'd again, Wei Lai charged toward Lucario holding the leek shield, with Sirfetch'd following behind him. The leek sword began to flash with an incredibly bright light, and a powerful move was brewing.

Seeing the two change targets, Su Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. Time had been bought for Lucario, and next, he just had to watch Lucario's performance.

Su Hao retreated a few steps to the edge of the arena, and under the disdainful yet accustomed gazes of the crowd, he left Lucario alone to face two enemies.

Facing the rapidly approaching Wei Lai and Sirfetch'd, Lucario was fearless.

Its eyes switched to blue-eye mode instantly, most of its Aura turned into a rough coat covering its body, and blue-purple light lit up in Lucario's hands. In an instant, Aura served as a container, Dragon Pulse filled it, and it gradually turned into an energy dragon whip.

This was a function of the Aura coat they had only figured out after pondering all night with Su Hao: shaping moves to a certain extent.

Diancie, who wanted to shape Diamond Storm into different forms, was so envious it cried, abandoning two important topics to start studying whether it could use the power of radiance to form something similar to an Aura coat.

This Dragon Pulse long whip was the hard work they had researched overnight—a long-whip weapon, perfect for the enemy!

The Aura coat provided a certain bonus to its strength and defense. Su Hao called it the "Little Fairy Dog" mode, but Lucario didn't understand why it was called such a low-end name.

However, Lucario in Little Fairy Dog mode had undoubtedly gained the combat power of a mid-Professional level Pokémon, and one of the best at that.

Blue light flashed in Lucario's eyes, and it rushed out with Extreme Speed. It didn't know how to use a long whip, nor did it need to.

It only cared about using force; it would leave the rest to miracles!

The Dragon Pulse long whip tore through the sky, and the air was directly whipped into a series of explosions.

"Holy crap!!"

Wei Lai, holding the leek shield, only blocked for a moment before he couldn't withstand the immense pressure from the shield, was knocked away by the force, and at the same time, the Dragon Pulse long whip exploded, blasting him directly out of the arena and taking Sirfetch'd's leek shield with him.

"Gamo!"

Even Sirfetch'd's resolute gaze was stunned for a moment, not understanding why its partner was so vulnerable and had even taken its shield away.

However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Feeling the overflowing energy at the leek sword, Sirfetch'd knew that Meteor Assault had finished charging.

Sirfetch'd aimed the sword tip at the empty-handed Lucario, and the surging energy flow wrapped around its whole body and the leek sword. With an indomitable belief, Sirfetch'd turned into a golden meteor and charged fiercely!

To this, Lucario was unhurried.

First, it patted its own shoulder to praise itself, and after stacking six layers of Perpetual Work Up, the Aura coat turned into the purest Aura energy and flowed into its palms. A blue Aura Sphere about the size of five or six basketballs formed under the amazed gazes of the crowd.

Seeing this, Qin Gang, who had lost the match but wanted to continue watching, clenched his hands and muttered: "Should I say it's worthy of being his Pokémon? The total amount of Aura is several times stronger than its peers."

And... such a large Aura Sphere isn't something that can be formed casually.

Many Pokémon have to practice hard for a long time just to increase the size of their Aura Sphere by a little bit, but such a large Aura Sphere was easily created in Lucario's hands.

What Qin Gang didn't know was that Su Hao, who was slacking off and watching the show in the distance, was hand-in-hand teaching Lucario how to roll an Aura Sphere.

With Su Hao's participation, Sirfetch'd, whose strength was already inferior to Lucario's, couldn't escape its downfall even if it exploded with power to use Meteor Assault.

The final would decide the winner between Su Hao & Lucario and Lan Ruosi & Gallade, followed by an exhibition match with Champion Chen Qing, who had just arrived at the scene, dusty from travel.

In the highest room of the Formula Battle Arena with the best view, Chen Qing finally finished dealing with these high-level officials who were trying to build connections. He loosened a few buttons, letting his shirt, which was struggling under his muscular build, and himself breathe a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, he turned his resolute and handsome face to look down.

The battle between Lucario and Gallade & Lan Ruosi had already begun. Su Hao was taken out by Gallade's Teleport at the very beginning, but Chen Qing felt he was acting.

In their internal small group of the Elite Four, everyone was privately betting on how many years it would take for this kid to become an Elite-level trainer.

Li Luoyan had the highest expectations for this kid, betting three years, with the stake being a wisp of flame from the Entei he had captured.

Bai Du bet three and a half years, Chu Ya four or five, and he bet four, not letting the Champion participate.

After all, wasn't it normal for the Elite Four group not to have a Champion?

It was just that the chat software group on his phone was still scrolling with information, the most being from that guy Bai Du, who feared no chaos, wanting to see Su Hao defeat him.

"Eh?"

Watching, a trace of doubt flashed in Chen Qing's eyes, and he let out a soft "eh".

Not to mention Su Hao, that little slippery guy who was lazy and playing dead—the Elite Four also knew a little bit about the Snowfield Base incident, and that captured Blacephalon had also made outstanding contributions to the Shenzhou Alliance's research on Ultra Beasts.

"How did this Lucario manage to predict the landing point of Gallade's Teleport, and even dodge its high-speed slash attacks every time?"

——————————

Ceruledge, Fire+Ghost type, Fire Bladesman Pokémon.

Ceruledge wears old armor soaked in resentment and holds swords formed from fire and ghost energy.

The fire swords on its arms are fueled by the resentment of a swordsman who died before achieving his ambition. Once it enters battle, its firepower gradually increases until it forms a powerful greatsword, capable of cutting down opponents without mercy.

Once struck by this greatsword, one will suffer damage that causes life energy to leak out. Its personality is cunning, and it doesn't hesitate to use sneak attacks and other means to win battles.

It prefers melee combat, moving agilely, using the opponent's blind spots to close the distance, and then attacking the opponent fiercely with its greatsword.
