A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Chapter 142 The Return of the Shi Siblings

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Xiaolin always felt that the ample days went by particularly fast, and before she knew it, it was already April.

Early that morning, Lin Xiaolin was training in the training room as usual, but suddenly everyone looked towards the door. Lin Xiaolin also looked over curiously.

Shi Anyang and Shi Yu walked in with smiles.

Lin Xiaolin also stepped forward.

"Anyang, you came back from digging coal, buddy?"

Yan Fan glanced at Shi Anyang in surprise. At this moment, Shi Anyang was as black as a lump of coal, completely different from two months ago.

"Haha, my dad took my sister and me to a fighting gym to work out. It was so hot there that we ended up like this."

Shi Anyang scratched his head sheepishly as he spoke.

The fighting arena is a major feature of Takumi City and a paradise for Fighting-type trainers, where you can find fighters and Fighting-type trainers from all over the world.

Although Craft City is famous for its Rock and Steel types, the people of Craft City are most fond of Fighting-type Pokémon. They believe that a real man should fight head-on.

It is said that the arena not only features Pokémon battles and arena combat, but also human-Pokémon battles, making it quite hardcore.

However, Lin Xiaolin felt that she would probably never have anything to do with that place for the rest of her life.

"How about we give it a try, you two brothers?"

Lin Xiaolin hadn't had a match in over a month, and his hands were itching to fight. After all, no one really wanted to fight him these days, but now that Shi Anyang, the warmonger, was back, Lin Xiaolin had to have a match with him.

"Let's go!" Shi Anyang said with a smile and left with Lin Xiaolin.

The news of the two's impending fight attracted a crowd of onlookers. It's not common to see Lin Xiaolin fight, since hardly anyone is willing to fight him anymore.

From the point where Lin Xiaolin and Lan Tian were evenly matched, to the point where Lan Tian is now completely unable to defeat Lin Xiaolin, everyone has basically established in their minds that Lin Xiaolin is the strongest.

That's why Lin Xiaolin would refuse everyone when they approached him, and would only engage in battle if he absolutely couldn't refuse. However, Lin Xiaolin would also maintain a certain balance.

Try not to let these senior students lose too badly; make it appear as if the competition is evenly matched.

During a battle with Qian Jue, Qian Jue said that Lin Xiaolin's strength had reached the level of Senior Wang Can, but was still a little weaker than Lan Rou.

But who could have known that Lin Xiaolin had an enhanced trump card? However, Lin Xiaolin wouldn't reveal it; he always saved his trump cards for last.

Lin Xiaolin is now starting to miss Starry Forest. Some of these senior students are actually not as strong as the elves in Starry Forest, which makes Lin Xiaolin feel quite helpless.

Fortunately, there's Azure Flame Blade Demon to practice with Heartscale Treasure every day.

Lin Xiaolin and Shi Anyang were already standing on opposite sides of the battlefield. Xinlinbao excitedly ran over, knowing that the long-awaited battle was about to begin.

"Come out, Lucario!"

Shi Anyang tossed a Poké Ball, and with a flash of red light, Lucario appeared on the battlefield.

Lin Xiaolin and Shi Anyang exchanged a glance, both seeing a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Lucario! Quick Attack!

Suddenly, a white light flashed where Lucario was standing, and Lucario instantly turned into white light and disappeared.

"Right dragon tail!" Lin Xiaolin's eyes flashed with blue light as he used telepathy to command the Heartscale Treasure.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xinlinbao raised its tail and swung it to the right.

"boom!"

Lucario reappeared before everyone, but this time he stood to the right of Jangmo-o with his hands covering his chest. Lucario, who was so fast just now, was actually hit by Jangmo-o!

The others naturally couldn't hear Lin Xiaolin's telepathic message. They saw Lucario disappear at an eerie speed, and then Xinlinbao, without hesitation, swept its dragon tail to the right, knocking Lucario out of its way when it tried to sneak up on them.

Lucario took two steps back and, without the slightest hesitation, headed straight for Heartscale.

"Work hard!"

Lucario stopped a meter away from Jangmo-o and clenched its fists, swinging them forward. An invisible shockwave erupted from Lucario's fists, heading straight for Jangmo-o.

With a flash of white light, Graveborn used Protect to block a powerful attack, then raised its tail and unleashed a Dragon Tail attack from top to bottom, aiming to deliver a blow to Lucario's head!

"Get out of the way, get close!"

Lucario dodged the attack by quickly flashing to the right, while Jangmo-o missed its target, its tail slamming into the ground and creating a small crater.

Lucario seized the opportunity and punched Jangmo-o directly.

The two Pokémon engaged in close combat, but a closer look revealed that Heartscale was clearly at a disadvantage.

Lin Xiaolin knew things were going badly; Lucario had gotten close to him again. You know, the worst thing you can do when battling a Fighter's Pokémon is get close.

They will use their fighting skills to keep you pinned down, advancing as you retreat and retreating as you advance, giving you no chance to catch your breath or unleash your skills.

Ke Lin Xiaolin had fought Shi Anyang more than once or twice, and was extremely familiar with his fighting techniques.

The next moment, as Lucario pulled back its fist, Jangmo-o received the command and jumped up, causing Lucario to kick empty air.

Heartscale lashed out with its tail again. Lucario had no chance to dodge this attack; its leg was already extended, and it was too late.

"Fight for your life!" Shi Anyang shouted out a skill that shocked everyone.

Of course, this is not a life-or-death struggle in the true sense. A life-or-death struggle is a skill that abandons defense and trades injury for injury.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lucario abandoned blocking and ignored the Dragon Tail attack, throwing a punch at Jangmo-o.

The dragon's tail and Lucario's fists struck each other simultaneously, but Lucario, having eaten the dragon's tail, became even more frenzied, its fists flying like bullets as they landed on Jangmo-o's body.

Heartscale was not to be outdone, and the two Pokémon engaged in a pure melee combat without any skill involved.

Just as Lucario delivered its heaviest punch to Jawful, Lin Xiaolin's command arrived.

"Double the damage back!" Xinlinbao's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to return the damage he had just suffered to his opponent a thousandfold.

At this moment, Lucario was already teetering on the brink of collapse. Shi Anyang could tell from the bloodshot eyes of the Heartscale Treasure that Lin Xiaolin had used Double Retribution.

"Back to life!"

"Luca!"

Lucario seemed to burst forth with vitality, as if all the energy it had just expended had returned. It gathered all its strength and threw a punch at Heartscale Treasure in its prime.

Just as the Heartscale Treasure was about to be released with double the power, Lin Xiaolin's call finally worked!

"Xiao Bao! Dragon Tail!!!"

"Roar!"

Xinlinbao withstood his rage. He heard Lin Xiaolin's voice, and his consciousness told him that he had to listen to Lin Xiaolin.

A blue light flashed on its tail, and the dragon's tail, strengthened by Double Return, headed straight for Lucario!

Chapter 143 Lucario

"Boom!" A deafening roar erupted in the arena, and an invisible wave spread outwards, brushing against the faces of the spectators.

The next instant, both Graves and Lucario were sent flying backwards, about to crash into the crowd, when they were suddenly stopped in mid-air by a force.

It was Little Blue, who was standing on the opposite side of the battlefield, who used her superpowers to stop the two elves.

Landing slowly, Heartscale was panting heavily, while Lucario had already passed out.

Tang Tian, ​​who was watching from the side, revealed a subtle smile, and then took a sip of his goji berry health tea.

"Looks like I've lost. I didn't expect that two months of special training still wouldn't be enough."

Shi Anyang took back Lucario and said with a smile.

"This should be considered a draw, but your Lucario is really strong. If I didn't know, I would have thought you changed to a new Lucario in the last two months."

Lin Xiaolin smiled wryly. Who would have thought that Shi Anyang could reach this level after two months of hard training?

Lin Xiaolin was just one card left to play.

As the crowd dispersed, Lin Xiaolin and Shi Anyang led the elf toward the infirmary.

"What have you been doing for the past two months?" The two chatted idly on the chairs outside the infirmary while waiting for the elf to receive treatment.

"I'll train in the Fighting City. I'll train not only Lucario, but also myself. I'm already a [C] rank fighter."

Shi Anyang said with a grin.

"And how did you feel just now? It was because I took Teacher Tang's advice and focused on training. Teacher Tang said that Lucario's ranged abilities are not good and it is easy to be kited. Lucario and I worked hard to train our speed so that we could catch up with those Pokémon."

Lin Xiaolin's lips twitched. Good grief, if you're afraid of being kited, then just run up and catch them before beating them up, huh?

"Hmm, Lucario's speed really amazed me. If I didn't have superpowers, I wouldn't be able to catch you."

Indeed, Lucario's speed is ridiculously fast. Although it can't match Yan Fan's Dratini, it's about the same speed as a typical Lord-level Lucario.

After waiting for Heartscale and Lucario to finish their treatment, the two returned to the training ground.

The following days were much better. Basically, Heartscale and Lucario would fight each other every day, and the two Pokémon were now evenly matched.

He's a rare and formidable opponent, and it's not a sure thing for Heartscale. He's still not quite proficient with the Double Payback move and can't use it most of the time.

However, even without that move, Jangmo-o would be about 60/40 against Lucario, mainly because Lucario's defense is far weaker than Jangmo-o's.

He couldn't possibly exchange injuries with Xinlinbao.
