Chapter 897 - 473: Double Dragon Pearl! Raihan: Hacked! Someone’s Hacking!!
On the field, Lucario struggled to stand up, but the massive damage had made his body tremble uncontrollably.
His stamina bar was visibly depleted.
The situation that had just dominated was instantly overturned by this earthquake move.
Lucario’s stamina was now far behind Gigalith’s.
Raihan looked satisfactorily at the Lucario lying on the ground, grinning at Ash.
"Ash, your Lucario is indeed well-trained, but... in this battle, I still have the upper hand."
"Gigalith, use Stomp to finish him off!"
Gigalith let out a deafening roar, and its massive body suddenly leaped into the air.
Its two-ton body flipped in mid-air, limbs filled with power, stomping down on Lucario lying on the ground.
If that stomp landed firmly, its power would be more terrifying than the previous earthquake.
In the audience, Misty and Serena held their breath simultaneously, Ash... wouldn’t end like this, right!
Dawn’s little face was also a bit pale at this moment; she didn’t want... she didn’t want to see Ash lose!
Even though they had just met not long ago, she had a considerable fondness for this boy, and she felt as if she had known him for a long time.
Therefore, she didn’t want to see this boy lose, even though this was just the first round.
But just as everyone thought the stomp was going to land, Lucario’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
He didn’t wait for Ash’s command; his whole body instinctively rolled sharply, his blue-black figure rolling several meters along the ground.
"Boom—!"
The stomp landed solidly on the ground where Lucario had been lying.
The entire field trembled, stones flew into the sky, and a huge pit sent a wave of aftershocks.
The edge of that aftershock grazed Lucario’s body, sending him flying a few more meters before stopping.
But compared to being stomped directly, these residual shock damages were barely acceptable for Lucario.
Raihan raised an eyebrow and sighed sincerely.
"Not bad, kid, your Lucario took that earthquake and still reacted so quickly."
"I was thinking of finishing him off with that move, but he managed to evade."
Lucario on the ground slowly supported himself to stand, his chest heaving heavily, his body covered in scars.
Ash glanced at his Pokemon, whose fighting spirit had not diminished, but rather grew more intense.
Yes, exactly, this level of attack, how could they admit defeat!
They’ve come this far, going through battles even tougher than this countless times; Lucario had once defeated Champion Junior Level’s Electivire at Elite Advanced Level.
Having reached a higher level now, there’s no reason to lose!
"Gym Leader Raihan, if it’s about competing resilience, Lucario and I won’t lose to anyone."
"You’ve used up your moves, it’s our turn next."
Raihan’s smile slightly stiffened; he didn’t think Lucario could do anything now.
That Pokemon’s stamina had already hit rock bottom; standing up was a miracle.
Ash... was just swaggering!
"Lucario, Double Dragon Pearl!"
Ash’s voice came.
Raihan was stunned.
"Double Dragon Pearl?"
He instinctively searched his mind for information on this move but found nothing.
Not only was it absent from Pokemon’s skill list, but even in his extensive knowledge as a top trainer, there were no records related.
What is this?
On the field, Lucario’s tired eyes suddenly shone with a faint blue light.
He slowly raised his hands, and on both sides of the air, a bluish Dragon-type energy gathered independently.
The two energies stretched slowly, and in the blink of an eye, formed into two lifelike Eastern dragons, coiling beside Lucario.
Dragon Pulse—two of them!
Raihan’s mouth dropped open.
Next, between Lucario’s hands, two light blue Energy Balls gathered.
Aura Sphere—also two!
The two energy dragons formed by Dragon Pulse suddenly opened their mouths, swallowing the Aura Spheres, then soared into the sky, circling above Lucario’s head.
A combination of four moves!
"Hiss—"
Raihan drew a breath, instinctively stepping back half a step.
What the heck! Is this cheating!!
In the audience seats, Clair jumped from her seat: "Using four skills at once?!"
"Not only using them simultaneously but controlling these four skills after releasing them!" Even Lance’s voice trembled.
"This can’t be described as unbelievable—it’s unprecedented and unmatched!"
Lance stated that he’s seen everything, but when he saw Lucario controlling four skills and doing so effortlessly after release, he declared—this, he truly hadn’t seen!
Cynthia slightly narrowed her eyes, her golden pupils full of shock.
"A Pokemon able to use skills to such an extent, it’s unheard of. Ash’s Lucario was hiding this much until now?"
Misty, however, grinned, looking proud and said, "This is just the beginning."
"If Lucario MEGA evolves into another form, it can even use eighteen skills at the same time!"
"However, that form has a greater burden on stamina; after using it, Lucario will be exhausted himself."
