Chapter 568

So, facing his master who had shifted his affection, Houndoom grew furious and decided to teach the blue dog in front of him a lesson!

"Comet Punch!"

Lucario moved like a hare escaping a trap, hurling a punch that struck like a comet colliding with Earth!

"Houndoom, Sucker Punch!"

Houndoom leaped forward at extreme speed, claws aiming straight for Lucario.

Sucker Punch is a priority move, allowing one to strike first even after the opponent acts!

"Bullet Punch!"

Lucario changed tactics mid-air, switching to Bullet Punch, which is also a priority move!

Claws met fists; after exchanging a single blow, the two Pokémon rebounded from each other, evenly matched!

"Not bad, not bad. As expected of Lucario, truly powerful!"

The more Xu Gou praised Lucario, the angrier Houndoom became, baring its teeth at the rival for favor.

Lucario glanced at it with an expression of arrogant disdain, which only further ignited Houndoom's fury!

"Not just 'not bad'—let me show you Lucario's true strength!"

"Lucario, Extreme Speed!"

Lucario flashed to Houndoom's side, kicking it flying, shocking Xu Gou!

"Such incredible speed! Truly a divine technique!"

It's not over yet!

Lucario flung two Aura Spheres from each hand, tracing an arc as they chased down Houndoom simultaneously!

An explosion roared, and Houndoom plummeted downward trailing a tail of flames!

Xu Gou's eyes widened. "It can actually launch two Aura Spheres at once! Can Aura Spheres be used so effortlessly?"

That's nothing; Lucario used Extreme Speed again to appear above Houndoom, pressing both hands onto its abdomen.

Qi surged forth; a shockwave pierced through Houndoom's back, and it crashed to the ground with a "whoosh" like a cannonball, a double critical hit!

"So amazing!"

Watching Houndoom struggling in the crater, Xu Gou stared blankly at Lucario.

Bai Jing shook his head. "If you continue like this, Houndoom will be heartbroken!"

Seeing the grievance in Houndoom's eyes, Xu Gou finally came to his senses!

"I'm sorry, Houndoom. I shouldn't have ignored you; I apologize to you!"

"You will always be my most important family member. Let us fight seriously together!"

Houndoom let out a howl, instantly filled with fighting spirit!

"I should apologize to you too; I shouldn't have been distracted by 973 during the battle. That was disrespectful to you!"

Bai Jing nodded. "I accept your apology. Bring out your full power!"

"I promise not to disappoint you!"

"Houndoom, Taunt!"

Taunt prevents the opponent from using the same move consecutively.

It was aimed at Lucario's Extreme Speed; quite interesting!

"Extreme Speed!"

Lucario flashed forward and rammed Houndoom flying!

Not being able to use it consecutively doesn't mean it can't be used at all!

"Taunt!"

Houndoom, still flying backward, didn't forget to apply a hindrance move.

Taunt forces the opponent to use only attacking moves for three turns.
