Chapter 725
"Why are you, Caitlin, so knowledgeable about what happened during Qingyu's broadcast? Didn't you say when I asked you before that you just happened to brush past it once?"
"Could it be... that you were actually lying to me before~"
"..."
Glancing at Champion Zhulan calmly, and noticing the expression on her face that was still smiling but gave her immense pressure, Caitlin immediately broke into a cold sweat.
Oh no!
Until this very moment, the silent Caitlin suddenly realized—
Because she didn't want Champion Zhulan to know that she was secretly learning Qingyu's tactics, she seemed to have told her a lot of lies!
Now she is reconciled with Qingyu, but what about Champion Zhulan?
If she found out that she had actually deceived her for so long, even a good friend would be angry!
Being hated by Champion Zhulan, no, I don't want that!!!
Just when Caitlin was sweating profusely, the expression of Champion Zhulan, who looked a bit angry, suddenly melted like ice and snow, and she chuckled.
"Don't worry, I'm not angry; I just wanted to see your reaction."
While she was speaking, Caitlin, whose brain had already entered a semi-shutdown state, suddenly felt that her head was being gently stroked by a warm palm.
Her movements were very careful, seemingly to avoid messing up her hairstyle.
"You are indeed very cute, Caitlin."
"If you can be a little more frank in the future, everyone in Unova will definitely like you very much."
"After you meet other interesting trainers, remember to introduce them to me too~"
When Champion Zhulan spoke gently again, Caitlin's face was already flushed, and she didn't seem to know what to say at this time, so she could only lower her head and nod silently.
"I, I know."
Sure enough, Champion Zhulan is still as gentle as ever; it's so good...
The interaction between the two was also fully presented to the audience under the clever angle adjustment of the Rotom Phone.
【??? What have you turned our Miss Caitlin of the Sinnoh Battle Castle into? It's too terrifying!】
【Is this the flawless Champion Zhulan? I really can't blame Caitlin; why do I feel like I, a girl, am also a little moved when I see her...】
【Fortunately, our Teacher Yu is a pure battle party with a firm Dao heart; women and such are very obstructive to him, otherwise with Ms. Zhulan's charm... it seems like no one can really hold up!】
【The person above seems to know nothing about Teacher Yu; Champion Zhulan, the number one fan of Qingyu, step out!】
Including the online broadcast room of "Azure Feather", the entire audience of the Pokémon Dome was filled with a happy atmosphere at this moment.
Because with the score on the field already at 2:0 and a clear gap in strength between the two sides, as long as Qingyu didn't mess around, almost everyone thought it was impossible for him to lose.
In fact, even Sabrina, who was standing opposite him at this moment, thought the same.
"Teacher Yu, let's just abandon all tactics at the last step and use the purest fighting instinct to decide the winner."
Even though the situation was incomparably unfavorable, Sabrina still had a smile on her face, and there was even a bit more fanaticism in her eyes.
She, who usually had a cold expression, had a bit more passion in her voice when she spoke at this time.
Compared to other opponents, Qingyu was undoubtedly the most powerful existence she had ever encountered so far, and the pressure when battling him was even great enough to rival the Kanto Elite Four...
But precisely because of this, Sabrina enjoyed this battle incomparably.
Therefore, she must get the most perfect experience until the end!
Qingyu did not speak, just nodded silently, and then spoke:
"Lucario, use Extreme Speed to close the distance!"
In the case of the opponent being Alakazam, Qingyu immediately chose a tactic that would bring Lucario's melee advantage into play.
After all, Alakazam has the title of "Master Alakazam" and is a good hand at using psychic powers, and judging from Sabrina's previous performance, her Alakazam is definitely not simple.
If he uses Dark Pulse to clash, he might have to eat some quality moves again...
But conversely, Alakazam's close-quarters combat ability is very lacking, and it can even be said to be very weak, almost falling at a touch.
Using one's own strengths to attack the opponent's shortcomings can naturally easily win the victory.
"Alakazam, seize the opportunity to use Teleport, and after leaving the opponent's line of sight, accumulate power for Focus Blast."
After obtaining Qingyu's command intelligence, Sabrina thought calmly for a moment and immediately made the optimal solution for the current situation.
Alakazam's fragile attribute is known to any trainer who knows a little bit, so many opponents she has encountered have also behaved like Qingyu, thinking that as long as they close the distance to Alakazam, they can easily crush it.
But in fact, Alakazam itself knows this better than anyone.
When they were not yet evolved and were still in the very weak Abra stage, they were already very proficient in using psychic powers to protect themselves; once they encountered an opponent with hostility toward them, they would escape instantly.
Because of this, it is very difficult to capture it except for psychics.
As for after evolution, Alakazam's psychic level and proficiency in Teleport have long since risen, reaching a state of doing whatever it wants.
Therefore, even if Lucario used Extreme Speed, Sabrina had absolute confidence in Alakazam that it would definitely be able to easily dodge its attack.
"Lucario!"
When receiving Qingyu's order, Lucario had already taken a step and was ready to run.
With a low roar, its whole body exerted force and its body ejected instantly; the terrifying speed only allowed the audience to observe the lagging afterimages, while Lucario had already rushed out several meters.
However...
Facing Lucario rushing over at extreme speed, Master Alakazam did not panic at all, but quietly widened its eyes; when its eye sockets flashed with a striking light blue light, its line of sight was also constantly looking for a relatively safe landing point on the field.
"Lucario!"
Feeling that the distance had already reached its attack range, Lucario, who was rushing at full speed, clenched its right hand into a fist in an instant; after taking a step forward violently, it stopped suddenly as if it had stepped on the brakes, using inertia to drive its own explosive attack to attack Alakazam with all its might.
It's just that this punch did not bring the feeling of hitting the target.
Alakazam, who was still in place the second before, suddenly disappeared; after Lucario punched the air, it turned around violently.
It immediately saw Alakazam floating in the air, with energy already accumulated in its hands.
"Psychics are very annoying in this regard, especially for Fighting-type Pokémon that are only good at close combat; it is very difficult to have a chance to hit the opponent."
Lance went online again, commented simply, and then spoke again.
"After losing the initiative, if you want to attack again now, even Extreme Speed may not necessarily stop Alakazam from using this move..."
"Perhaps, switching to defense would be a better choice?"
Just as he said, Qingyu also knew very well that it was definitely best not to be stubborn at this time.
If hit by Alakazam's Focus Blast, even Lucario's toughness would be severely damaged.
But when Qingyu looked at Lucario, noticing the seriousness in its eyes and the action of its right hand unconsciously gripping its left wristband, he immediately understood its idea.
Regarding this, he just smiled helplessly.
Since Sabrina also said just now that she wanted to leave this battle to the instincts of both sides, then...
"Lucario, do what you think."
While speaking, Qingyu sat on the ground decisively, seemingly expressing his determination with this action.
"Lucario..."
After getting the trainer's consent, Lucario narrowed its eyes.
Since evolution, for the convenience of its own practice, it had not taken off the weights covering its whole body even when sleeping.
However, since it had already reached such an important occasion, and the trainer had completely entrusted the most critical point to itself, it was enough to highlight his trust in it.
It's already at this point, I can't fail either...
Lucario's eyes looking at Alakazam gradually became focused.
Because it is a Fighting-type move, and the opponent does not seem to be good at using this energy, the accumulation time is longer than it imagined.
Therefore.
It's in time!
Its hands immediately acted, passing through every part of its body wearing weight rings or counterweight iron blocks with incomparable proficiency.
Soon, the training kits, which looked inconspicuous but were actually quite numerous, were taken off one by one, and even its two hands could not hold them anymore.
"??? Adding weights to yourself even when it's the final; this Lucario is a ruthless Pokémon..."
"No, does it mean it hasn't used its full strength before? Why does it feel like none of Teacher Yu's Pokémon are normal!"
"At? Is it cheating?"
"Wait... do weights count as items? This is really fighting with weights!"
The audience was also completely shocked by this scene.
However, the main event was still to come.
When Lucario threw the full weights in its hands to the ground, a series of explosions suddenly came from the ground, and along with it was the dust raised after the heavy objects landed.
"Don't be disturbed by its movements, use the move with all your might!"
Sabrina frowned and soon realized Qingyu's idea.
Want to use this move to attract attention, and at the same time use the raised dust to interfere with the line of sight, playing a role similar to Sand Veil, making it difficult for Focus Blast to hit Lucario?
It is indeed something Teacher Yu can do, but her solution is also very simple—
"Lucario will definitely attack; seize the opportunity to strike, it is absolutely impossible for the opponent to dodge!"
After Sabrina spoke, Alakazam, who was still a bit confused, immediately realized it, and no longer struggled with Lucario, who had escaped its figure; its attention was completely focused on its side.
As long as Lucario strikes, it will definitely blast out Focus Blast in the first time, making the opponent's surprise tactic completely fail!
As for Qingyu opposite Sabrina, he had no intention of commanding at all, still sitting on the ground, calmly waiting for Lucario to strike.
The previous Extreme Speed was already very terrifying; if it were Lucario, who was light and easy now...
Maybe it could really be so fast that even Alakazam couldn't react?
"Lucario..."
Lucario, standing in place, made a preparation move again.
When performing the same move again, it clearly felt the changes in its body after taking off the weights.
No need to use more power to eliminate the influence brought by the weights, it can concentrate all the power of the body on one point in an instant...
This time, the speed that erupted might be something even it couldn't imagine.
Thinking of this, Lucario suddenly closed its eyes.
The influence effect of the surrounding sand and dust is double-sided; while covering Alakazam's line of sight, it also interfered with its judgment.
But for Lucario, it never had only one way to observe the world with its eyes; there is also a real thing that is simpler, easier to use, and will never deceive itself.
The Aura that exists in all things and can be perceived by itself at any time!
"Lucario!"
Integrating its will into the Aura network and easily detecting Alakazam's position, Lucario suddenly let out a roar.
Subsequently, a white light suddenly killed out.
Because the speed was too fast, it had already exceeded the limit that the naked eye could handle; in the eyes of the audience, Lucario had become blurred at this time, and even disappeared completely from their sight at a certain moment.
"Just now!"
Sabrina suddenly spoke, and Alakazam also threw out the Focus Blast it had accumulated for a long time, blasting toward the direction Lucario was attacking.
It's just a pity that for the current Lucario, its attack speed is too slow.
When the two sides were about to come into contact, Lucario's figure suddenly disappeared, as if it had directly penetrated the Focus Blast that Alakazam had placed high hopes on, and attacked Alakazam again with the same momentum.
At the same time, its right hand had already been clenched quietly, seemingly ready to blast out a fatal blow.
At the critical moment, Alakazam instinctively used its psychic power, and the Teleport, which had almost no pre-action, was released immediately.
Before Lucario could hit it, Alakazam's figure dissipated instantly, and it only appeared on the other edge of the field the next moment.
After dodging Lucario's attack very limitlessly, Alakazam subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just when it intended to focus its attention on Lucario again and intended to use other moves to harass it...
