"And now, in this MEGA evolution state, four skills are his limit."

"Ten... eighteen?!" Lance suddenly turned his head, his face frozen, "Does he have another MEGA evolution form?!"

The shock brought by Lucario is already countless.

Every Pokemon in Ash’s hand is so astonishing, and this Lucario is no exception.

Moreover, compared to the previous Pokemon, this Lucario feels even more surprising to him.

Cynthia opened her mouth, initially wanting to ask clearly, but before she could speak, Lucario in the center of the arena already moved.

"Go!"

Ash’s voice fell.

The two energy dragons carrying Aura Spheres suddenly let out a roar and flanked Gigalith in the center of the arena from both sides.

"Gigalith, use Stone Edge to block--!"

Raihan ordered hastily.

In front of Gigalith, a stone wall composed of sharp stones instantly exploded, trying to block the two divine dragons.

However... when the two energy dragons hit the stone wall, the originally iron-hard sharp stones shattered like tofu.

"Boom--!!"

The two divine dragons pierced through the stone wall and hit Gigalith’s chest.

In the next moment--

"Boom!!!!!!!!"

A world-shaking explosion suddenly erupted in the center of the arena!

The shockwave rushed out from the epicenter of the explosion in all directions, instantly blowing away the sandstorm spread across the entire area, debris flying wildly like stray bullets.

The transparent barriers surrounding the gym shook violently at this moment, rippling circles of dense ripples that almost overlapped.

If such a Champion Level attack were free from the restraints of barriers, it could level half the city.

At this moment, all the energy was firmly locked within the arena by the barriers, allowing this explosive power to vent wildly only within.

The ground in the center of the arena was forcefully blasted into a huge pit with a diameter of over ten meters and a depth of several meters.

The ground around the pit was covered with web-like dense cracks, spreading to every corner of the arena.

The layer of sand used to pave the arena was now lifted into the air by the shockwave, turning into a sky-full of swirling dust.

The aftermath of the explosion lingered in the arena for a full dozen seconds before slowly dissipating.

Once the dust cleared, the entire arena was unrecognizable, and at the center of the explosion, Gigalith’s massive body lay silently in the gigantic pit.

The red crystal pillars on his chest were completely shattered, brutal scars split open on his hard scales, his eyes tightly closed, unable to move a single inch.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the pit, Lucario was kneeling on one knee, one hand supporting the ground, his chest heaving violently.

His body was covered in wounds, yet he still maintained the state of MEGA evolution.

Compared to Gigalith’s unconscious state, Lucario’s condition was unknown to be many times better.

The entire gym fell into dead silence, the referee stunned for quite some time before finally reacting and raising the flag in his hand.

"Gigalith is unable to battle! Challenger’s Lucario wins!"

The entire gym fell into dead silence.

Raihan stood still, his mind utterly blank.

He couldn’t believe that his proud Gigalith had been taken down by a MEGA Lucario of a lower level.

The sense of experience from numerous battles, the calm of a top-notch trainer, all shattered and vanished under the impact of that Double Dragon Pearl.

He was stunned for several seconds before slowly coming back to his senses.

Raihan took out a Pokeball and recalled Gigalith lying in the pit.

"Thank you, Gigalith, that move was not something you could block."

He shrank the Pokeball back to his waist, taking a deep breath along with himself.

Looking across the arena at Ash, Raihan’s face twisted into a bitter smile.

"Ash, your move was a bit too much."

"I’ve lived for so many years and have seen not thousands but at least eight thousand moves, but I’ve never even heard of anything like that Double Dragon Pearl."

"Honestly, the power released from that strike probably rivals the ultimate moves of the Champion Intermediate Level Pokemon."

The ultimate moves of Champion Intermediate Level Pokemon are already capable of flattening a small hill.

Yet this power emerged from an Elite Peak plus MEGA Lucario, which is hard to accept.

Raihan scratched his head, his eyes full of curiosity, "Kid, how on earth did you come up with such a move?"

If it were before, Raihan would never have asked such a question.

After all, moves are private property of trainers, asking someone how they developed a move is like delving into someone’s personal assets.

But now he is genuinely curious, how was this move developed?

Ash didn’t mind, he laughed heartily, "It’s not that complicated."

"My Lucario has been dealing with Aura since childhood, his control over Aura is far superior to regular Pokemon, and he naturally has the ability to multitask, managing several forces at once."

"So I thought, since he can manage several energies simultaneously, why not combine different moves together to form a new move?"

"That’s the origin of Double Dragon Pearl; after all, both Aura Sphere and Dragon Pulse involve Aura, making their combination simpler."

"And although this move sounds cool, it’s pretty straightforward, basically just shaping Dragon Pulse first and then using Aura Sphere as the core, simply combining the two."

Raihan listened, twitching the corners of his mouth, his bitter smile deepening, saying it sounds easy!

What does ’naturally able to multitask’ mean?

What does ’why not combine different moves together’ mean?

This sounds easy, but in reality, countless trainers worldwide, even if breaking their heads, can’t accomplish this!

Just the ability to multitask is something only a few Pokemon across the entire Pokemon Realm can achieve.

Not to mention controlling multiple energies of different attributes simultaneously, forming, combining, and firing them according to the trainer’s intentions.

Otherwise, such a move that could enhance the power of skills exponentially wouldn’t be developed by only Ash.

Such a difficult move, in Ash’s words, seemed as simple as eating and drinking... it really made Raihan unable to hold it.

If his Pokemon could reach this degree, defeating Leon wouldn’t be an issue, would it!

"The important thing is, I still have to continue the match now."

He took down a second Pokeball from his waist: "Fly in the air, Flygon!"

With a flash of light, a Pokemon with a green body and translucent red wings appeared on the field.

Its eyes were covered with green lenses resembling goggles, its long tail leisurely swaying behind, the dancer of the desert—Flygon.

Ash silently activated his Eye of Insight.

Champion Junior Level.

On the same level as the previous Gigalith, yet the momentum emanating seemed to suppress that big bulky fellow.

All ability values have almost reached the peak of the current level, possibly just a step away from breaking through to Champion Intermediate Level.

Ash turned his gaze back to his Lucario on the field.

Currently, Lucario, though still maintaining the MEGA form, his chest heaving heavily, breathing heavily and roughly.

Continuing the battle would only deplete Lucario’s strength.

In his present state, at most he could wear down Flygon’s Physical Strength.

His Pokemon pool is still quite sufficient; there’s no need for Lucario to strive hard.

Moreover... he intends for each of his partners to have an opponent, Lucario surpassing one Pokemon has already met his ’performance’.

Therefore, Ash raised the Pokeball, the red light flashed and recalled Lucario. "Lucario, return for now."

He placed the Pokeball on his chest and softly spoke, "You’ve worked hard, you fought this battle beautifully, the rest is up to your partners!"
