Chapter 684
What happened?
The change in the situation in an instant made David, Qingyu's opponent in this battle, dumbfounded.
Theoretically, his performance just now should have no problems at all.
Just need Exeggutor to withstand this move, and then take the opportunity to slip away and pull away. After the speed increases, Lucario's short legs will certainly be difficult to catch up with it.
Even if Lucario uses its best Aura Sphere, it doesn't hurt Exeggutor at all.
Things should have developed like this...
But why did Lucario punch and explode Exeggutor's Protect just now?
Is, is this reasonable?
Under normal circumstances, there are only two reasons for this situation:
Either the strength gap between the two sides is really too big, or Lucario has some kind of special ability similar to Mold Breaker but even more powerful, which can even ignore the effect of Protect.
Judging from the performance, it seems to be the former. After all, his Exeggutor was punched and exploded by Lucario, which indeed looks like a big gap.
But this made David even more puzzled—
He is, after all, a top-eight contestant in the Silver Conference two years ago, and his current strength shouldn't be much worse than an ordinary Gym Leader.
This Exeggutor is his initial partner. Even against an Elite Four-level opponent, David is confident that he can deal with it one or two.
But the result was that Exeggutor was suddenly killed in seconds, and David hasn't recovered yet.
And... when Lucario retracted its fist just now, there was black gas on its hand. It looks like some kind of Dark-type move.
This is even more unreasonable!
You, a Lucario, can actually use Dark-type attacks?
However, he, who is still in the battle, has no chance to think too much.
Under the referee's signal, David could only sigh, silently eat this loss, and take back Exeggutor, who was unable to fight and had swirl eyes.
"Next one, it's decided to be you!"
"Mimikyu!"
Another red light flashed, and a Pokémon that seemed to be wearing a Pikachu skin and made people unable to see its true face appeared on the field.
"Is it actually Mimikyu?"
Lance, who was sitting in the commentary booth, was also very surprised by the appearance of this Pokémon.
"Mimikyu is a Ghost-type Pokémon with a relatively rare distribution. At least you can't find their tribe near Johto."
"Being able to tame this Pokémon, it seems that this contestant David has also traveled in other regions."
Although he said so, what Lance was actually thinking in his heart was—
Mimikyu has the extremely special Disguise ability, this time Qingyu's Lucario shouldn't be able to kill it in one hit again!
"Mimikyu?"
Qingyu looked surprised, but quickly returned to normal.
Taking out such a Pokémon in the Psychic Master Tournament, I believe it will be very difficult for many psychics to counter it.
But it's a pity that its opponent this time is Lucario.
"Lucario, Meteor Mash."
Qingyu didn't hesitate and commanded Lucario to use a fierce offensive to suppress the opponent again.
"Mimikyu, Swords Dance!"
Facing the aggressive Lucario, David not only didn't have any panic on his face, but instead smiled confidently.
He even commanded Mimikyu to perform a Swords Dance enhancement on the spot.
Just when many viewers were puzzled, Lance quickly gave a high evaluation of his idea:
"A very correct way to use Mimikyu. It seems that contestant David is indeed not acting on impulse, but is prepared."
"Because the body under Mimikyu is a ghost, attacking the skin covering its body will not cause any damage to it, so the opponent's first attack will likely hit the air."
"And making good use of this point to complete the enhancement is the most concise and clear application of Mimikyu's ability."
Sure enough, just as Lance said.
Clearly Lucario was already prepared, and the punch it blasted perfectly covered Mimikyu's entire body.
However, even so, Mimikyu still reacted the moment the attack touched its skin, and while completing the Swords Dance enhancement, it immediately retreated.
Lucario's Meteor Mash finally only hit the skin, causing Mimikyu's neck to fold down.
But it didn't cause any effect on the body.
Sure enough!
David was ecstatic in his heart.
After suffering Exeggutor's loss, David was actually very unsure about whether Mimikyu's Disguise ability would have any effect on Lucario.
But if he didn't do this, he only had one Psychic Pokémon left in his hand, and the situation would only become more difficult next.
So David chose to gamble and sent Mimikyu to compete head-on with Lucario.
And judging from the results, he bet right.
Although I don't know how Lucario did it before, it seems that its special ability can only break the effect of Protect, but cannot have any effect on the Disguise ability.
After completing the enhancement with the help of the Disguise ability, Mimikyu, whose combat power soared, already had the possibility of sweeping the team.
Of course, facing an opponent like Teacher Yu, David really didn't dare to say how high his winning percentage is now.
But as long as he can take down one of his Pokémon, he has the capital to brag in the live broadcast room in the future, and he should at least be considered a high-quality friend who "successfully arrested Teacher Yu"!
Therefore, must accelerate!
