Chapter 777

Yesterday, or rather, I started feeling uncomfortable the night before last. The probable reason should be that I bought a bottle of floor cleaner and cleaned the house inside and out, and I only started wearing a mask halfway through, all to bring home a little Siamese cat on the weekend.

A sore throat, fever, and a bad cold left me feeling muddled all day. I had to ask for leave yesterday, but fortunately, I'm much better today after two injections.

"What the hell... is it cheating!?"

Lan Ruosi's high-speed punch, which even ordinary Elite-level Pokémon found hard to dodge, missed again. His brows furrowed deeply, and his expression was somewhat ugly.

At the same time, Gallade's figure appeared instantly from the void, a Sacred Sword slashing at Lucario's back, but it was dodged by the opponent moving its body in advance as if predicting the future!

The movements were too slippery; their high-speed attacks, which they were proud of, seemed like child's play in front of this Lucario.

Just like the semifinal opponent Qin Gang, they had no good means to deal with Gallade's Teleport, and now they had no way to deal with this Lucario's seemingly prophetic movements.

It was understandable that their attacks were dodged, after all, Aura's strongest ability was detection, but how was Gallade's Teleport predicted in advance?

Before he could find the reason, Lucario, which had been focusing on dodging, suddenly leaned in and smashed a punch at him. Lan Ruosi could only block his arms in front of him at the last second.

Feeling the immense pressure on his arms, Lan Ruosi gritted his teeth and supported himself bitterly, while quickly saying: "Gallade, now's the time!"

"Gallade!"

Gallade nodded lightly, its figure flashed behind Lucario, the blade on its elbow lengthened, a touch of pink-purple light contained within it, sharp and unparalleled!

Psychic-type move, Psycho Cut!

Gallade took advantage of Lan Ruosi temporarily restraining Lucario and slashed directly at its defenseless back!

"Gotcha!"

However, whether it was Lan Ruosi's scheme, the spatial fluctuation at the moment of Gallade's Teleport, or the landing point the next moment, Lucario had already fully understood and made preparations for it.

One could see Lucario, which looked slightly slender compared to other Fighting-type Pokémon, emitting steaming heat, its muscles bulging and ready to go. It released its Perpetual Bulk Up, and then its Aura power boiled, forming a specialized Aura coat against back attacks.

This was also a good idea derived from Lucario seeing Su Hao create an Aura barrier to block rain for Xia Jie.

Specialized defense that gathers Aura against a certain part of the attack can often exert a higher effect.

Su Hao, off the field, curled his lips slightly. This was also the reason he felt at ease playing dead and letting Lucario face two people alone.

This guy seemed born for battle; its combat IQ was extremely high, and its self-management ability was extremely strong.

A clashing sound like metal and iron rang out. After a series of dazzling sparks, Gallade looked at the Psycho Cut it had finally found an opportunity to use being blocked like this with unwillingness.

At the same time, Lan Ruosi felt the power of Lucario surging again after opening double enhancements. He shouted "Holy crap," and his arms bent at an unnatural angle and fell powerlessly; it was clearly a fracture.

At this point, staying on the field would only drag Gallade down.

Even though it was the final, he ended up in such a miserable and shameful situation. Lan Ruosi gritted his teeth, unwillingly stated that he could no longer fight, and was carried away from the arena by the medical team.

For a time, exclamations erupted from the audience. They hadn't expected that even with the trainer being knocked off the field in the first encounter, Lucario could actually fight one against two and even show signs of winning.
