"Nima, Nima!"
Although the others didn't know what Guan Liyuan was talking about, Little Nima "excitedly" beat his chest after he stood on the field.
After being "trained" by Daha and Erha for a long time, Little Nima could finally play officially.
The most important thing is that Guan Liyuan had agreed with it before that it could take a month off after this gym challenge, but if it didn't defeat any opponent, it would have to participate in the holiday tutoring of "Double Hat Mushroom".
The "Double Hat Mushroom" here refers to a Double Hat Mushroom beast that Guan Liyuan subdued in the old world. Double Hat Mushroom, like Brickaloon, has the attribute of "grass + fighting".
As long as he defeats an opponent, Little Nima will have a month's vacation, and if he defeats two, he can take another half a month off...
"Lucario!"
Korni directly lit up the key embedded in the back of her gloves. At the same time, Lucario, who was carrying the super stone, also bloomed with the brilliance of evolution.
It seems that not only did he send out his trump card right away, but he also immediately launched a super evolution. It really looked like he was going all out from the beginning.
Seeing this, Guan Liyuan was not to be outdone and called out to Little Nima, entering the state of bond evolution...
Lucario's body was mostly blue with black stripes, and its upper body was light yellow. It had a head with obvious canine characteristics and a body similar to that of a human. After super evolution, it looked even taller and stronger, and its hands and feet turned red. There were also bony, metallic-colored protrusions on its hands and feet.
However, the so-called "tall" was only compared to before the super evolution. A normal Lucario was only 1.2 meters tall, and after super evolution, it was only 1.3 meters tall. Korni's one was no more than 1.4 meters tall...
In comparison, after Little Nima's bond evolution, not only was his body closer to that of a human, but he was also 1.8 meters tall. There were also two shield-shaped armor plates half the size of a carapace on the outside of his arms, and his claws seemed to be covered with boxing gloves.
"Nima! Nima!" Little Nima hammered his chest.
The Mega Lucario on the other side stared at it coolly and sternly.
Guan Liyuan couldn't help but secretly thought: This is not my intention. I originally wanted to let you win one or two games first. Don't blame me if the other party plays the trump card directly!
Xiao Nima's strength is actually not weak. As the final evolution form of the three starter Pokémon, Bricaron's race value is normally as high as 530 points. It is definitely a Pokémon that can be cultivated as the main force. Moreover, Guan Liyuan's Xiao Nima is one of the three initial Pokémon carefully selected by Fatong. The individual correction rate is close to 120%.
As the Pokémon that Guan Liyuan has cultivated for the longest time in the Kalos region, Xiao Nima's current race value has exceeded 560. Under the training of Daha and Erha, the level has also exceeded 60. The individual value... Although the starting point is high and the growth is very slow, it has also reached 133%, which just exceeds the 60,000 Tianwang level after the bond evolution.
Moreover, it has the dual characteristics of "lush" and "bulletproof". Although neither of them is awakened, it can also provide considerable help in battle.
The effect of lush is that the power of grass-type skills increases when physical strength is reduced, and the effect of bulletproof means that Xiao Nima has an excellent defensive effect against some ball and bullet-type moves.
For example, moves such as rock cannons, seed machine guns, ice balls, energy balls, etc., when facing the "bulletproof" characteristic, the offensive energy in them will be excluded.
For Lucario, "true air bombs" and "wave missiles" are particularly restrained.
Especially the wave missile, which can be said to be Lucario's signature skill, and although Lucario has its own fighting attribute, it is restrained by fighting-type skills because it also has steel attributes...
These two points are Xiao Nima's advantages, but... Lucario, as Korni's trump card, is definitely not easy to deal with!
"Nima!"
Little Nima, eager to win, took the lead. Several spike-like structures fell off the "round shield" on his forearm. At the moment of falling off, Little Nima punched out with both fists and hammered at the bottom of each spike. The spikes shot towards the opposite Lucario like loaded bullets.
"This is... the grass-type skill "seed bomb". It seems that because it is thrown with a fist, the trajectory speed is very fast!" Barbaro couldn't help but say.
"Heh." Kokobul just sneered, as if to say: This attack is ineffective against Lucario.
Lucario faced the continuous seed bombs without any fluctuations in his eyes. He just shook his body and swayed with the smallest amplitude to avoid the attack of the seed bombs.
"So... fast? He actually avoided the seed bomb with accelerated trajectory. Let's see the slow motion playback on the screen..." Barbaro said awkwardly.
Guan Liyuan also frowned slightly... No! It's not fast. Guan Liyuan recalled the scene just now. Although Lucario's speed is not slow, it didn't seem to dodge with speed just now. Instead, it was dodging at the moment when Xiao Nima punched and before the spike seed flew towards it!
From the slow motion playback, this can be clearly seen... Those who don't know would think that Xiao Nima was faking a punch and cooperating with Lucario.
At the same time, Lucario, who dodged the seed bomb, immediately bent his waist, his arms drooped naturally, and quickly approached Xiao Nima in a strange trajectory.
Lucario's racial value is good at physical attack, special attack and speed. In addition, after super evolution, it has the "adaptability" characteristic, which is very outstanding in attack, and its speed is not weak.
Xiao Nima saw the other party approaching, clenched his fist tightly, and the spikes that had been ejected from the "round shield" on his forearm grew out again.
Then he raised his forearm and smashed the Lucario who was rushing towards him. Because of the height difference, it looked like a big man bullying a child.
However, this seemingly sure-hit attack "slipped" away from Lucario and missed!
"Lucario evaded Bricaron's 'spiky arm' swiftly... It seems... It's not completely 'swift', eyebrows... Ahem, what do you think, Mr. Kokobul?" Barbaro asked Kokobul, who was a guest at the side.
Kokobul didn't hold back on anything and said directly: "It's the power of wave. Everything has wave... And Lucario is the Pokémon that is most sensitive to the power of wave. Lucario who has mastered the power of wave has strength that cannot be limited by 'combat power'... Didn't you just say 'eyebrows'..."
There is no need to keep it secret. Guan Liyuan has definitely discovered this!
Not only Pokémon, but also human trainers can awaken the "power of wave". Although humans themselves are no longer suitable for fighting, trainers with the "power of wave" can use it as a medium to understand Pokémon and even communicate with Pokémon mentally.
It is a very useful ability that is particularly effective against fighting, fairy, and psychic Pokémon, and is also universal for other Pokémon.
However, Guan Liyuan has no good solution for this. "The Power of Waves" is both the ability to sense and control waves. This is not a physical wave, but something similar to "qi" or "telekinesis" in the Hunter world.
Pokémon, humans, plants, and even stones all have their own waves. Being able to keenly sense waves can almost achieve an effect similar to Super Alakazam's "predicting the future"...
"Lucario with long eyebrows has launched a 'close combat'! It concentrates the power of the fighting type on its body surface. It is an offensive skill that can only be effective at close range. At the same time, because the energy is concentrated on the attack, the defense will be reduced, and then the attack power will be greatly increased. Let's see if Brickalon can seize the opportunity of Lucario's reduced defense... Huh? Brickalon... can only passively defend in 'close combat'?" Barbaro changed the subject and exclaimed.
The opponent's attack is increased and the defense is reduced. This is the time to counterattack with attack. Wouldn't passive defense allow the opponent to fully play its advantage?
And...what's the long eyebrows?
"It's not 'actually' defending, but 'having to' defend... The wave guide is guiding Lucario to attack and save the enemy! But the patterns on Lucario's face and the hair behind his head are not eyebrows..." Kokobul explained and corrected. Guan Liyuan
also looked a little solemn. Judging from the current situation, the combat power of this Lucario is likely to be higher than that of the little Nima who just reached 60,000 and stepped on the border of the king. Although it is not a very strong king, it should have a combat power of 70,000 or 80,000.
And judging from the aggressiveness of Lucario's fighting power, it is probably that its "adaptability" characteristic has reached level 1!
"Adaptability" is a characteristic of the super-evolved Lucario, which has the effect of enhancing the power of its own skills. After awakening to level 1, Lucario, who already has outstanding attack power, will be able to exert stronger offensiveness when using fighting and steel skills.
At the same time, Lucario uses "close combat" as a buff skill, and on the other hand, his fist also has the effect of "enhanced fist", which is equivalent to using two skills.
Under the effect of the enhanced fist, Lucario has a bit of momentum that becomes more and more fierce!
It is true that passive defense is not a good idea now, but Guan Liyuan can also see the dilemma of Xiao Nima now...
"Nima, Nima, Nima!" Xiao Nima is also anxious and annoyed when facing Lucario who is close to him and attacks from all angles.
Whenever Xiao Nima wants to fight back, Lucario's attack angle can always come as promised to "besiege Wei to save Zhao" and interfere with Xiao Nima's attack.
As a result, Lucario, who is stronger and has strong attack power, completely suppressed Xiao Nima!
[The only chance to turn the tables is the "bulletproof" feature...] Guan Liyuan muttered to himself.
"Wave Missile" is a very rare skill. In addition to the legendary beasts, there are only four or five Pokémon that can learn the Wave Missile, and Lucario is undoubtedly a professional among them!
The Wave Missile is not the real use of "wave guide". After all, the Pokémon world is not the hunter world. Whether it is telekinesis or Qi, it cannot be cultivated. In essence, the Wave Missile is a fighting-type energy bullet that uses wave guides to "navigate". It is also a rare fighting-type special attack skill...
It complements Lucario's own special ability "wave guide power". It can even be said that only Lucario has mastered the real Wave Missile!
The "Wave Missile" used by other Pokémon such as Master Itachi and Cannon Arm Prawn is just more predictive.
However, the wave missile was restrained by Xiao Nima's "bulletproof" attribute...
Only a very small number of Bricaron have the "bulletproof" property, so Guan Liyuan speculated that the opponent would not completely give up the "wave missile" just because of the "low probability" of bulletproof. As long as he could seize that opportunity, Bricaron would have a chance to turn the tables!
First... force the opponent to come down from the absolute advantage!
Xiao Nima suddenly protected his face with both arms, half-bent his waist, and all his back armor, limbs, arm shields, etc., all extended longer spikes, while Lucario took a step back and did not continue to attack, as if he did not find Bricaron's weakness at this time.
"It appeared! It's the grass-type defensive skill 'Spike Defense' that only Bricklon, Togdenmar, and Cactus-type Pokémon can learn... Compared with pure defensive skills such as 'Hold' and 'See Through', Spike Defense not only defends but also causes counterattack damage to contact-type attacks.
But it seems that just as the eyebrows... very handsome Mr. Kokobull said, Korne's gym owner Lucario once again saw through the opponent's actions first, and retreated to the side when Spike Defense was formed!" Barbaro said in the commentary.
"But Lucario is not only good at contact-type skills." Kokobull said at this time, staring at Xiao Nima.
Obviously, Kokobull and Korne must know about Bricklon's hidden characteristics, but for Lucario, "close combat" combined with the insight of the wave force is enough to suppress Bricklon, a Pokémon that has both offensive and defensive capabilities and whose combat power is not much worse, but it is not enough to determine the outcome!
For Korni's Lucario, the wave missile is undoubtedly an important winning point...
After all, there are only a few Bricaron with the "bulletproof" characteristic, and Guan Liyuan rarely uses Xiao Nima, so he still has to give it a try!
Lucario swung out an energy bullet composed of fighting power, and Xiao Nima dodged and quickly approached Lucario...
However, just as Xiao Nima approached Lucario, Lucario suddenly changed his expression, and without any movement, he controlled the avoided wave missile to turn around and continued to chase Xiao Nima from behind! Although
Bricaron's back is its most defensive part, it is definitely not easy to be hit by a wave missile directly.
In the game, the wave missile has the effect of "must hit", but in the Pokémon world, being able to control the power of the wave guide so delicately, and even being able to control the "wave missile" to turn around, is definitely not something that ordinary Pokémon, or even ordinary Lucario, can do.
Just as Nima was about to hit Lucario with his spiked arm, the wave missiles arrived behind Nima. It was too late to dodge, but Nima didn't seem to notice it...
Lucario was also watching this scene carefully. The reluctant Bricaron didn't seem to relax!
Korni seemed to have no command like Guan Liyuan, but she and Lucario were actually communicating in real time with the wave power, not just paddling like Guan Liyuan.
"Nima!"
At this moment, Xiao Nima screamed and was blown away by the wave missile. Even when he leaned forward, he was hit by Lucario...
Guan Liyuan: ???
Guan Liyuan didn't know what Xiao Nima was doing. Lucario's strength couldn't make its characteristic immunity invalid...
But at this moment, Guan Liyuan keenly discovered that when Xiao Nima got up, there was a hint of joy in his eyes. He immediately realized that Xiao Nima was not satisfied with the "small surprise". He would rather take a hit and pretend that the wave missile had a great impact, so as to create a "big surprise" opportunity later!
But... Isn't this 480-degree spiral reversal landing too exaggerated? It was
n't just pretending just now. Xiao Nima was really injured by Lucario. But it was also because of this that Lucario, who had mastered the power of wave guidance, seemed to believe that Xiao Nima in front of him did not have the characteristic of "bulletproof". After all, the power of wave guidance is not mind reading...
