Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 580 One sword to slay evil, one sword to suppress souls! (Seeking monthly votes!)
Even though they shared the same fate, neither of them managed to take down the Crimson Armored Knight, which was something Cynthia hadn't expected.

Moreover, after defeating the Flower Rock Monster, Jing He surprisingly did not recall the Crimson Lotus Armored Riders.
Cynthia quickly understood the reason behind it.

It's simply because she saw that her Gastrodon and Milotic had lost their ability to battle, and she believed that no Pokémon could counter Crimson Knight.

In fact.

Among the Pokémon that Cynthia frequently uses, Glaceon, Roserade, and Lucario are indeed all countered by Crimson Knight.

but.

Crimson Knights themselves didn't have much stamina left.

and.

Your Dragonite doesn't have much combat ability left, so you can't just use Dragon Dance. It has no "counter" against Garchomp anymore.
rustling—

Just as Cynthia was thinking that she couldn't spoil Jinghe, the Poké Ball on her waist suddenly shook twice.

Her expression shifted slightly.

As his mind calmed down, he picked up the Poké Ball.

"The indomitable warrior, Lucario!"

A Pokémon, flashing red and resembling a dog that walks upright on two legs, appeared in the arena with a serious expression.

"Luk-ka!"

Waveguides, subtly floating on its surface.

When faced with an opponent who can resist their fate with unwavering will, Lucario, as a fighter, will definitely go all out!

"Cynthia's fourth Pokémon is the Aura Pokémon—Lucario!"

Cheers erupted from the stands.

Cynthia's Lucario is one of her signature Pokémon, possessing an extremely tenacious fighting spirit.

"It's not a bad choice, after all, the physical defense of the Crimson Armored Knights has been reduced quite a bit," Adek commented.

"Gucha!"

Seemingly sensing the aura Lucario exuded, or perhaps meeting Lucario's gaze, Crimson Knight's expression became particularly solemn, the flames in his eyes solid and surging.

"Luk-ka!"

I saw.

Lucario clasped his hands together, and a surge of azure energy immediately condensed in his palms. Like releasing a burst of energy, the perfectly round blue sphere spun around with a buzzing sound, seemingly containing extremely powerful energy.

A vortex of air rippled out from beneath its feet.

The Crimson Lotus Armored Knight sensed the powerful aura emanating from the waveguide and immediately dared not hesitate for a moment.

The cannon barrel was set up, and flames began to build.

hum-

The azure energy sphere collided head-on with the surging flames, creating a tremendous commotion, with the aftershocks violently pounding against the protective barriers of the arena.

boom! ! !
The rising heat and air currents swept out, obscuring everyone's view.

The audience craned their necks, eager to see what was happening inside the stadium as soon as possible.

call--

suddenly.

A gust of wind swept by, instantly dispersing the dust and smoke.

Neither side appears to have suffered any substantial damage.

"Luk-ka!"

Lucario stood with his feet apart in the field, his hands clasped together and held out in front of his chest. As his hands slowly separated, a bright blue bone club appeared in his hands.

The bone rod was rotated, creating a swirling airflow.

Jing He pursed her lips.

A phrase subconsciously popped into my mind: What use is this bone club to me?
Oh, I completely forgot! Lucario's Bone Club Brawler is a Ground-type move!

"Crimson Lotus Armored Cavalry!"

"Gucha!"

The Crimson Lotus Armored Knight nodded, and the crimson-gold flames on his body quickly receded, with a dark blue flame emerging from the center of his charcoal-like body. In the blink of an eye, the dark blue color replaced the crimson-gold.

Clang! !

The longsword gleamed, its sharp blade tearing through the flames and revealing its form once more.

Blue flame blade ghost!

Weapons, is that it?

It seems like everyone has one.
The Azure Flame Blade Demon spun its blade, producing a series of sharp clangs.

One sword to vanquish evil, one sword to pacify souls!
Upon seeing this, Lucario's interest was immediately piqued.

"Lucario, get over there at lightning speed!"

"Luk-ka!"

Lucario gripped the bone club with his right hand, his body glowing white, and he dashed out with astonishing speed!

"Azure Flame Blade Demon!" Jing He shouted in a low voice, "Stop it, Bodybuilder!"

"Gucha!"

Azure Blade Demon raised its twin swords, its gaze and aura locked firmly on Lucario, and clashed with its longswords as Lucario swung its bone club.

boom! !

The bone club and the sword blade collided in an instant, sparks flying everywhere. The two Pokémon, each with their own goals, stared intently at each other.

In terms of speed, I'm no slower than you!
Click——! !

Another crack appeared on the armor of the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

However, the physical attack and defense boosts granted by bodybuilding also caused its momentum to rise.

"Sword Dance!"

Faced with the boost from such a collision, Cynthia did not hesitate to have Lucario use Swords Dance.

Clang, Clang, Clang——

The bone club and the sword blade clashed wildly like a storm, and the auras of both Pokémon surged with each collision.

Clanging sounds and scattered sparks erupted continuously throughout the venue.

At the same time, the speed of both Pokémon also increased.

An indomitable spirit!

[Unyielding Spirit: When a Pokémon with this ability flinches, its Speed ​​is increased by 1 stage!]

Holy crap, Lucario can actually control its "Unyielding" ability?
Why call it "Indomitable Spirit" then? Call it "Acceleration" instead!

Jinghe harbored resentment in his heart.

"Lucario, unleash your Bone Club!" Cynthia commanded.

"Luk-ka!"

Lucario, his hands gripping the bone club tightly, looked serious.

Concentrated will can break through stubborn stone!

Its strongest weapon is its indomitable will!

A muddy yellow color swirled around the bone club as it swung continuously and powerfully at the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

"Blue Flame Blade Ghost, Regret Sword!"

"Gucha!"

Then, the Azure Flame Blade Demon's twin swords crossed in front of him, sparks flying as the blades rubbed against each other.

Twin swords, Hua Zhan!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—

Although Lucario's club swings very fast and continuously, Azure Blade Demon has the advantage of having two swords, which allows it to counter.

The spectators in the stands began to cheer.

"Exciting! Thrilling!"

"It feels like watching a martial arts movie, but even martial arts movies aren't this exciting!"

"These two Pokémon are both natural-born fighters!"

In fact, viewers have already started to struggle to keep up with the speed of Blazing Blade and Lucario.

Only because of the slow-motion projection on the big screen could we know what happened. It was a bit tough on the director though; he lost at least half his hair during this battle.

Jinghe and Xilona's command gradually moved away from language and began to use waveguides.

Telepathy is always faster than language.

boom! !

The bone club, tinged with an earthy yellow hue, clashed once more with the sword blade wreathed in eerie blue flames.

The immense force finally separated the two combatants.

wow——

wow——

Lucario's Bone Club slid along the ground for a distance before finally managing to regain its balance.

Azure Flame Blade Demon plunged its blade into the ground, leaving two deep, charred furrows, before stopping its backward slide.

His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath.

Lucario was in slightly better condition than Azure Blade Demon, with its mouth open and exhaling puffs of white breath.

Obviously.

The previous battle made the Azure Flame Blade Demon, despite its attribute advantage, struggle to fight.

However, Azure Flame Blade Demon's fighting spirit did not weaken in the slightest; on the contrary, it surged even more.

Finally, it has met a formidable opponent with whom it can wield its sword to its heart's content, and it is unwilling to give up until it is completely exhausted!

Lucario, on the other hand, looked at Azure Blade Demon with eyes full of approval.

I acknowledge you as my opponent!
"Luk-ka!"

Lucario gripped the bone club and pointed it at Azure Blade Demon.

Come again!

"Lucario, Water Pulse!" *Whoosh*

Water condensed in Lucario's hand and wrapped around the bone club.

If the fight continues like this, the Azure Flame Blade Demon will likely not be able to hold out. Jing He knows that if he recalls the Azure Flame Blade Demon now, it will definitely be unwilling, so he is also thinking of a countermeasure.

"Will-o'-the-wisp!"

Bang!Bang!
Flames adhered to the blade.

Unleash the full speed that Azure Flame Blade Demon has already achieved!

Subtle surprise attack!

Swah——

Azure Flame Blade Demon cleaved through space with a single sword strike and plunged into the shadows.

I went into the water alone, gurgling and splashing.
cough cough.

"Watch out!" Cynthia warned instinctively.

"Luk-ka!"

Lucario closed its eyes, and its Aura spread out, making it aware of every movement on the field.

coming!

As if he had anticipated this, Lucario suddenly turned around and swung his bone club at the side behind him.

boom! !

The blade pierced through the shadows and emerged, blocking Lucario's bone club.

But another blade, at an extremely tricky angle, pierced towards Lucario's chest.

"Luk-ka!"

But then, on Lucario's other hand, metallic spikes rapidly extended, and a waveguide quickly condensed.

Wave missile!
Bang! ! !
In this latest clash, neither side gained a real advantage, but this situation was increasingly disadvantageous for Azure Flame Blade Demon.

But the more this happened, the stronger Azure Flame Blade Demon's unwavering fighting spirit became.

In the mind of the Azure Flame Blade Demon, the scene of it once being in the breeding room appeared.

Everyone else was chosen by trainers, but it stayed in the breeding room, day after day, and slowly it transformed from a newbie into a "boss" that everyone had to respect.

Does it "disdain" weak trainers?

No.

In reality, it didn't want to see the fear and retreat shown by those trainers after they learned about its daily "expenditure".

however.

one day.

A trainer named Jing He came into its sights and, without any hesitation, chose it, affirmed its abilities, and took it away.

When Jinghe learned that it consumed "charcoal" daily, he felt the pinch, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Upon learning that its evolution required the special item "Cursed Armor" or "Blessed Armor," it spared no effort in gathering the materials and crafting it.

It knew very well how difficult it was to forge its armor.

to this end.

It trains and grows day after day, trying to catch up with the Gengar boss and the others.

It's not just about stopping here!

"Gucha!"

For Jinghe!

The Azure Flame Blade Demon crossed its twin blades once again in front of its chest, sparks flying as the blades rubbed together. The flames on its body were contained to the extreme, but the fire in its eyes and on its blades was as dazzling and eye-catching as the sun in the night.

Flame Charge!!
"Luk-ka!"

Seemingly sensing the change in Azure Flame Blade Demon and its determination, Lucario took a deep breath, his expression extremely solemn.

Yes, your efforts will not be in vain, but...
Shouldn't we try our best?!

The bone club in Lucario's hand slowly shortened, condensing into its fist and transforming into pure energy.

hum-

Lucario took one last deep look at the approaching Azure Flame Blade Demon, as if everything slowed down in its eyes, and its originally surging heart quickly calmed down at this moment.

For Cynthia!
When his mind was completely at peace, Lucario's aura locked firmly onto the Azure Blade Demon.

Even if you are a Ghost-type Pokémon.
Open your mind's eye, and all eyes will open!

Fighting is not for survival, but for glory and the pride of never giving up!

True Energy Bullet!
waveguide!

The entire audience held their breath, as if their own breathing would affect the collision.

They, along with the viewers watching the live stream, all instinctively held their breath.

See you soon.

The firelight and the blue light, one on the left and one on the right, collided in the most direct and convincing way.

boom! ! !
In an instant.

The burst of dazzling light filled the air, making the whole world seem to be dyed white.

The sound vanished, so faint that you could hear a pin drop, but in reality, you couldn't hear anything at all.

After a brief silence.

Boom! ! !
An incredibly terrifying tremor swept across the entire arena. Everyone felt as if the ground beneath their feet was shaking. The reinforced arena barrier trembled violently under the impact, looking as if it could be torn apart and shattered at any moment.

The smoke of battle obscured everyone's vision.

As all the commotion gradually subsided, and the thick smoke slowly dissipated.

The audience, their faces flushed from holding their breath, stared intently at the scene, afraid of missing a single moment.

And when the audience finally saw what was happening inside the stadium...
just see.

Azure Blade Demon and Lucario stood on opposite sides of the field.

The flames and the ears swayed slightly.

"Lucario." Lucario snorted softly, swayed slightly, knelt on one knee, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

"Kucha."

The flames on the Azure Flame Blade Ghost Sword went out, and it fell straight down.

hum-

A beam of red light shot out and retrieved the Azure Flame Blade Demon before it fell.

Jinghe's eyes were filled with heartache.

I don't know if they're feeling sorry for the Azure Flame Blade Demon or for the money spent repairing the armor.

You should feel more sorry for the exhausted Azure Flame Blade Demon, right?
"You didn't lose, let's play again next time," he said softly to the Poké Ball.

to be honest.
For Cyanblade, who was already in poor condition, to fight Cynthia's Lucario to this extent is already a great success.

From then on, he persevered almost entirely through willpower and the flame of life.

Not this time!

Jing He gave a rather "shameless" answer to the duel.

However, it's clear from Lucario's eyes that it has nothing but approval for Azure Blade Demon.

This is a worthy opponent.

"Luk-ka!"

wow——

There was an uproar.

The audience could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This match was really...
You don't know the outcome until the very last moment.

"Awesome! Lucario is awesome! Azure Blade Demon is awesome too!"

"To be honest, I thought we were going to lose our ability to fight at the same time."

"I didn't expect Lucario's last Focus Blast to hit the Ghost-type Blademaster."

"There are many unexpected things. Who could have known that the Crimson Lotus Knights could resist those of the same fate?"

thump—

On the big screen, Jing He's portrait, belonging to the Azure Flame Blade Demon/Crimson Lotus Armor Knight, was dimmed.

At this point, viewers with better memories realized what was happening.
"It seems... this is the first Pokémon that Teacher Jinghe has truly lost its ability to battle in this tournament?"

"Eh?!!!"

"You know what! You really have to admit, this isn't just a first for this competition, it seems to be the first time in all major competitions!"

"In this way, Miss Cynthia's value is maximized!"

When did Pokémon that defeat Jinghe become considered valuable?
"Lucario?" Cynthia took a deep breath and called out softly.

"Luka."

Lucario staggered to his feet and walked back to the field in front of Cynthia.

Seeing this, Cynthia smiled helplessly and shook her head.

Sometimes, trainers are willing to respect the Pokémon's own will.

Lucario's performance clearly demonstrates that it doesn't want to leave the field yet.

The bone club extended out, one end touching the ground, the other end supported by its folded hands.

He stared intently at Jing He.

That look in his eyes was just like that of the Crimson Lotus Knights before.

Next!
Jing He smiled.

OK OK.

In our family, the number of people who would like to spar with you is probably less than one hand.

This is not.

Jinghe already had a Poké Ball on his waist, ready to spring into action.
