Chapter 410: Is Your Invisible Fist Lucario Legal?

~7 min read 1,232 words

The final trial of the Master Dojo has been going on for five minutes.

"Is Mr. Xiang Qingyu's Riolu going to lose? The size gap feels too big, and it can't counterattack at all..."

"Hard to say, after all, the opponent is our Galar legend, Master's Urshifu, even if Senior Brother Leon comes, he won't get any benefits."

"Rather, it's already very powerful for Riolu and Mr. Xiang Qingyu to hold on until now, right?"

The surrounding apprentices discussed, and Leon, who was standing outside the field with his arms crossed, couldn't help but squeeze a sweat for Riolu.

The final trial of the Master Dojo was originally an assessment that could only be carried out by trainers who had captured Kubfu.

In this battle, facing the huge pressure caused by Master Mustard's Urshifu, even Kubfu, who maintains absolute focus on martial arts, is very difficult to persist, let alone a Riolu that has not yet evolved...

But Master's judgment will not be wrong.

Since Master recognized this Riolu and felt that it and Xiang Qingyu were qualified to challenge the final trial, it must have corresponding potential.

So...

Come on, Mr. Xiang Qingyu!

Leon looked at the young man on the other side who was frowning and focused on the battle, and cheered for Xiang Qingyu in his heart.

Leon didn't get Master's recognition at the beginning, but he knew it very well.

Master has always hoped that someone can inherit the martial arts style he formed after decades of training, which is why he founded this Master Dojo.

If it's Xiang Qingyu, maybe he can really do it!

At the same time, the two Pokémon on the field were also fighting fiercely.

In the five-minute battle just now, Urshifu had launched multiple attacks, but they were all barely dodged by Riolu relying on the speed after Agility buff.

The huge gap in size is also a double-edged sword, giving Urshifu overwhelming power when facing Riolu, but also making it difficult for it to hit Riolu.

"Sure enough, have you already used the power of Aura to perfection?"

A smile appeared on Master Mustard's face.

Although Pokémon like Urshifu also have the qualification to use Aura power, compared to Riolu and Lucario, who are born Aura users, they are obviously not on the same level in terms of the ability to perceive Aura, and can only use Aura Sphere as a way of searching for enemies.

And this Riolu can already predict the attack route in advance by observing the flow of the opponent's Aura at any time. It is indeed a bit difficult to hit it in actual combat.

Even if Urshifu has found Riolu's weakness, if it cannot hit with a move, even its ultimate move Wicked Blow cannot kill Riolu in seconds from the air.

So, you have to change moves!

"Urshifu, use Rock Tomb to block Riolu's escape route!"

Master Mustard quickly made a counter-strategy, using Rock Tomb to isolate Riolu's escape path.

"Riolu, Vacuum Wave!"

Xiang Qingyu reacted immediately, commanding Riolu to rub out several energy balls formed by pure Aura power, and shattered them one by one before the rocks in the sky landed.

"Tsk..., sure enough, as it is said on the Internet, it is a particularly difficult guy, little Xiang Xiang!"

Master Mustard clicked his tongue secretly, and quickly smiled again.

"Since you have been dodging, then I can only use other ways to defeat you."

"Urshifu, Aura Sphere!"

"Kuma!"

As soon as the words fell, Urshifu learned the move Riolu just used, quickly held its hands in a ball shape, and after pouring all the Aura energy into its palms, a ball of energy quickly condensed and formed.

A rare long-range move for the Fighting type, Aura Sphere!

Xiang Qingyu understood immediately and understood Master Mustard's idea.

By injecting Aura energy, this pure energy ball can lock onto the opponent's Aura, thereby achieving a powerful effect that must hit.

That is to say, Riolu can no longer continue to dodge.

Although the Invisible Fist technique cannot work against Aura Sphere, in the case of a huge gap in strength, Xiang Qingyu dare not say whether Riolu can block this move with Protect...

Therefore, he made a bold decision—

"Riolu, Dig!"

"Rio!"

Riolu reacted quickly, waving its hands with all its strength before the Aura Sphere struck, and quickly hid its figure into the earth.

Because it left the field, Urshifu's control over Aura power was not that outrageous. This Aura Sphere immediately lost its target and quickly smashed into the ground.

"So that's it, using the Dig move to regain the initiative?"

Master Mustard stroked his beard again, and the look in his eyes towards Xiang Qingyu revealed a bit of satisfaction.

Being able to quickly think of this point in a fierce battle, such an outrageous battle instinct is completely unlike what a young trainer should have.

However, a genius should be like Xiang Qingyu, completely breaking the conventional impression, right?

"Urshifu, get ready to defend, and use Wicked Blow to counterattack at any time."

Master Mustard quickly made a judgment, and Urshifu also converted to a one-legged stance after hearing the command, just waiting for Riolu to appear and solve the opponent immediately!

Seeing this, Xiang Qingyu confirmed his judgment even more.

Sure enough, in the Pokémon world, moves you can't learn are moves you can't learn.

These two Pokémon of his own might also be illegal because of the existence of the system.

As the most common Pokémon encountered in the Sword/Shield era, Xiang Qingyu could memorize the move list of Urshifu.

They are absolute masters in close combat, but obviously the Fighting type is still too dependent on head-on attacks.

Urshifu, who didn't learn the Earthquake ultimate move, had no way to deal with Riolu lurking underground, so it had to wait passively for Riolu to break through the ground.

Riolu is not a Pokémon that can survive underground, and its breath-holding time is limited, so it will jump out sooner or later, so Master Mustard is not in a hurry, just waiting patiently for Xiang Qingyu's next move.

Seeing this, Xiang Qingyu couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, as he thought, the answer is very simple—

"Riolu, Copycat!"

Xiang Qingyu spoke again, and Riolu underground reacted quickly.

Even though its body had not yet been exposed to the ground, it used the move one step ahead, drawing energy from its body in advance, ready to launch an attack one step ahead while breaking through the ground.

Due to the effect of Prankster, Riolu's energy extraction efficiency when using Copycat will be several times higher than before.

Copycat is a special move. Pokémon that use it can temporarily use moves that they could not originally learn by imitating the moves previously used by the opponent.

And the move Urshifu used last was Aura Sphere, which Riolu could not master before evolution!

Single Strike Style Urshifu has the Dark type and is restrained by Fighting-type moves, so the power of this Copycat will be very considerable.

"Urshifu, withstand the attack, and use Close Combat to counterattack before the opponent breaks through the ground!"

Master Mustard made a quick decision.

Since you can't dodge the Aura Sphere, don't dodge it at all.

With Urshifu's physical fitness, it doesn't matter if it takes Riolu's attack head-on.
