Chapter 714: Mewtwo's Awakening and the Quick Attack Lucario
Mewtwo's attack speed was extremely fast, but Mega Metagross's reaction was equally swift.
Almost at the same time Mewtwo had just hand-crafted the ghostly blue fire, a transparent barrier had already blocked in front of Metagross, steadily blocking the opponent's interference.
Seeing this, Lucian breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't expect Mewtwo to have this trick, once he thought it was Teacher Yu's Pokémon, it seemed unexpectedly reasonable...
Fortunately, he had gradually gotten used to it, so he could keep up with Xiang Qingyu's reaction.
"Metagross, pull away the distance first!"
The crisis was temporarily lifted. Originally, he should have continued to suppress Mewtwo, but he didn't choose to pursue again, instead making a safer command, letting Metagross retreat to a safe distance.
After Mewtwo used Will-O-Wisp, Lucian quickly reacted that it might know other Fire-type moves; if he were sneak-attacked by Teacher Yu, Metagross would inevitably fall into an unfavorable situation.
Moreover, Will-O-Wisp can be used continuously, but Protect cannot.
When fighting at close range, whether Metagross can dodge Mewtwo's sudden cold arrow can only be left to fate.
For the 3v3 singles mode with a tense rhythm, a Metagross in a burn state is even more uncomfortable for him than if it had fallen directly...
So his offensive had to be a bit more conservative.
"Metagross, use Substitute to interfere with the opponent's judgment."
After Metagross retreated to his half of the field, Lucian's high-speed brain quickly made a solution.
The value of Substitute in actual combat is actually above Protect; it just needs trainers to develop it.
If used properly, the substitute formed by pure energy can not only be used to hinder the opponent from seeing through the main body, but even help Metagross block some troublesome moves when needed.
Also because it is an aggregate of energy, various abnormal states that take effect on Pokémon can be easily blocked without any negative effects, and at worst, it can forcibly hinder the opponent's offensive once.
The only side effect is that it needs to share a part of the life energy, leading to a loss of physical strength, but overall it is definitely a steady profit.
"Kang-jin!"
Metagross stopped its hand movements and closed its eyes.
Soon, its body split into two under the gaze of the audience; the flawless clone and the main body made it impossible for anyone to distinguish.
"Mewtwo..."
Xiang Qingyu spoke subconsciously, wanting to give instructions to break the clone as soon as possible, so that the situation could return to the advantage where Mewtwo could easily delay time.
However, just at this moment, Mewtwo, whose eyes had been staring straight at Mega Metagross, suddenly spoke.
"Xiang Qingyu, it's time."
Metagross's evolutionary mechanism was not difficult to understand in Mewtwo's view, even simpler than it had imagined.
Bringing victory to its trainer and being able to be praised by the trainer is the most essential obsession of every Pokémon.
However, it is precisely this plain and unadorned wish that becomes the correct password to guide bonds and build a bridge of hearts between the trainer and the Pokémon.
That is to say...
The Key Stone and the Evolution Stone are just opportunities to connect with each other; if they can achieve unity of heart and body, they can even resonate without external objects.
As long as they are one with the trainer's thoughts, achieving Mega Evolution is a matter of course.
Thinking of this, Mewtwo subconsciously glanced at Xiang Qingyu behind it.
"Regarding how Metagross completed Mega Evolution..., I have almost got the answer."
"If it's me now, it should be fine."
Although it is still unclear whether he treats it as a Pokémon or not...
But just executing Xiang Qingyu's will and winning for him, even it can easily do it!
To get Xiang Qingyu's recognition, its fighting spirit is definitely not inferior to any other Pokémon!
Suddenly hearing Mewtwo's voice, Xiang Qingyu's face was instantly filled with surprise.
Its meaning was already very clear, so the cat-and-mouse game didn't need to continue.
"Lucian, I admit that your trump card Mega Metagross is indeed very strong, but..."
In the vigilant eyes of Lucian and Metagross, Xiang Qingyu spoke slowly but powerfully, and his expression also became playful.
"There is more than just you who can use Mega Evolution~"
"Next, let me and Mewtwo show you what is the peak of psychic power!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lucian's heart surged.
Listening to Teacher Yu's meaning... could it be...?
No, no, no, it's impossible, Mewtwo is already so powerful; it could fight back and forth with his Mega Metagross without Mega Evolution.
If it could break through the limit again and obtain a more powerful new form...
How terrifying would its strength be?
Lucian subconsciously swallowed his saliva and prayed sincerely that it was just Teacher Yu's psychological warfare, and that he had actually exhausted his trump cards.
But reality was the exact opposite of what he expected.
As everyone knows, although Xiang Qingyu likes to play a little bit, he never lies.
"What happened on the field? Why did Lucian, who was the opponent, suddenly freeze in place after Xiang Qingyu spoke, and even his Metagross looked like it was facing a great enemy?"
In the commentary seat, Hu Tao replaced the audience and issued a confusion that triggered strong resonance.
"Yeah, yeah, what did Teacher Yu say? Why are you still fighting a Pokémon battle if you speak so quietly!"
"Could it really be an evil py transaction, the two or three things between Teacher Yu and the friendly player?"
"Urgent, urgent, urgent, if Teacher Yu doesn't move again, I will turn into the Wings of Urgent Madness!"
Only Wataru, who was sitting beside Hu Tao, still had a worried look, and even frowned, his gaze shifting back and forth between Xiang Qingyu and Lucian.
If Lucian was playing a defensive counterattack and was afraid of being caught by Mewtwo, then why did Xiang Qingyu stop?
It was hard to get an offensive opportunity to change offense and defense; with his combat intuition, shouldn't he have seized it immediately?
Just when Wataru was puzzled, Xiang Qingyu suddenly made a move.
"Mewtwo."
"I'm here."
Xiang Qingyu called his partner in front of him softly, and after getting a response, he stepped forward abruptly.
Along with his foot movements, there was also the matching action of clenching his left hand into a fist and pointing his right hand's two fingers toward the sky.
Seeing this, Wataru in the commentary seat was instantly dumbfounded.
If he remembered correctly, this gesture should be to reveal the Evolution Key Stone and present the whole process of the Mega Evolution phenomenon to the audience, right?
Wait, could it be...
Mewtwo actually has a Mega Evolution form that even Team Rocket hasn't discovered??? ===== CHAPTER 716 =====
