Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

Chapter 839 - 444: Martial Arts Master Proficient in Aura, Nine Dragons Playing with the Pearl, Eighteen Skills Unleashed Simultaneously!

MEGA Lucario Z is like a super specialist; it has epic-level enhancement in Special Attack, but its Physical Attack is weakened compared to its pre-evolution.

This type of evolution, which excels in a specific direction, is actually more suited for battling beyond one’s level, while a comprehensive enhancement is better for endurance battles.

Both forms have their pros and cons; it’s not about which is better, but which to use depending on the situation. Overall, the enhancement Lucario receives in both forms is quite similar.

Against a powerful attacker like Electivire, Lucario is at a disadvantage in level, so Ash would certainly not use normal MEGA evolution to engage in a head-to-head battle.

Besides the enhancement in Special Attack, the Z form also has an extremely terrifying increase in Speed!

Volkner suppressed the surging shock in his heart.

The transformation of that Lucario’s form, or the Aura Sphere comparable to Champion Level, was impressive. But a battle is a battle, not the time for a Trainer to stop and marvel.

His Electivire has never relied on long-distance moves to decide the victory.

"Electivire, get close and use Thunder Punch."

Electivire excels at close combat; pressing forward at this moment is indeed the simplest and most brutal way to break the stalemate. As long as it doesn’t play the long-range attack game, the opponent’s attack advantage will be nullified!

Level suppression is level suppression; it’s not something that can be easily overcome!

Electivire let out a low growl, swinging its sturdy arms, while gold electric light exploded at its feet. Its entire form rushed towards Lucario like a meteoric bullet, with a roaring sound.

Such momentum alone made it feel as if the ground was trembling.

Facing such a terrifying onslaught, Lucario... closed its eyes.

Electivire charged forward, its fist enveloped in golden thunder already high in the air. The sound of thunder exploding pierced the eardrums, and just as the fist was about to land, Lucario took a gentle step back.

The golden fist light nearly grazed the fur on Lucario’s chest, smashing into the ground, causing rocks to fly and leaving a grisly pit on the gym’s field.

Electivire didn’t pause; the other fist followed closely, as such close combat attacks are no difficulty for it to execute consecutively.

Yet, facing this fist, Lucario didn’t assume a defensive stance, nor did it open its eyes, merely moving aside as the fist glided past its shoulder, the gust of wind stirring its fur.

Electivire quickened its punching speed; its fists became a curtain of golden thunder, with dense shadows covering every angle in front of it, the sound of exploding thunder forming a continuous roar throughout the gym.

But Lucario navigated through the curtain of thunder, each time seemingly predetermining Electivire’s punching angle and target, avoiding just in time before the fist landed.

Electivire’s offensive grew fiercer and faster, yet that agile silhouette remained not far ahead of its fists.

Several times, Electivire felt close to touching the opponent, but it was just slightly off.

After dodging several attacks from Electivire, Electivire finally caught up with Lucario, both fists wrapped in more violent thunder smashed down, thinking Lucario had no more room to dodge.

But as the fists descended, Lucario leaned back, finding a space to evade from an almost impossible angle.

And at the moment of retreating, Lucario’s palms closed in front, a deep nearly black blue energy condensed into an Energy Ball—Aura Sphere in its palms.

At such close range, Electivire could not adjust its posture in time, and could only hastily cross its arms in front, residual Thunder Fist Power barely condensing a thin layer of golden electric light on its fists.

"Boom!!"

The two energies clashed violently in mid-air, the golden thunder and deep blue aura blasted into a glaring light sphere.

The shockwave sent surrounding stones flying, Electivire’s massive body shaken back several steps, the golden electric light on its arms shattered!

After launching so many attacks, not only did Electivire fail to harm Lucario, but it was attacked by Lucario, despite a huge level gap between them, what was going on?

Ah Yi was puzzled, unable to figure out how Lucario, with such a huge level gap and eyes closed, kept dodging Electivire’s attacks.

Volkner already guessed something. He is familiar with Lucario, as he had battled Cynthia’s Lucario a few times, though all ended in miserable defeat.

But he knows Lucario has an Ability, which is Aura Power.

Aura Power allows Lucario to foresee many attacks, the more skillful the control over Aura Power, the stronger the ability to predict attacks.

Even with a huge level gap, Lucario can rely on Aura Power to defeat stronger foes.

Ash’s Lucario has evidently reached the pinnacle of using Aura.
