Gible wants to be a trainer

Chapter 161: The cheers for the enemy are the highest praise for our strength.

In this brief standoff, a sudden change occurred.

"Wow!!!"

The gasps from the audience rose like a tsunami, instantly swallowing up all the other noise in the stadium.

"As expected... is it the same old routine again?"

Genji, suspended in mid-air, narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on the scene.

Lu Sha's entire body was completely enveloped in the white light of evolution.

In the conventional understanding of trainers, most geniuses will choose to use card evolution to solidify their foundation, and only seek a leap in life after honing their type control and move proficiency to the current stage.

Lu Sha was the only exception.

His evolution was never accomplished in the quiet training ground, but on the battlefield under the spotlight.

Genji recalled the video recording of Zhu Qing's battle scene from before.

At that time, Lu Sha was only an elite-level warrior. He forcefully fought against a quasi-Heavenly King by relying on amplification. This was the result of Gadalia's battle before she had stepped into the Heavenly King level.

Now, the situation is completely different.

Based on the professional level, all attributes are stacked up to 33.64 times.

Even disregarding any skill enhancements, Lu Sha's basic physical strength alone is enough to challenge Elite Four Pokémon head-on.

Seeing Lu Sha bathed in the holy light of evolution, Shiba and Guai Li's originally rhythmic warm-up movements froze instantly.

To be honest, even though he knew yesterday that his first-round opponent was Zhuqing Academy, and even though he knew that his opponent would most likely be Gadria, Shiba had never actually watched the opponent's video.

In his view as a fighter, the footage of his opponent's battles before reaching the King level was of no reference value other than killing time.

As for that Garchomp that was still growing? He never even considered it a threat.

Even as Lu Sha began to evolve, Shiba's expression remained completely calm.

In his mind, a mere professional-level foundation, no matter how much one evolves, could never... possibly...

Shiba's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, his gaze fixed like nails on Lu Sha, who was at the end of his evolution.

"This fluctuation...is it the origin?!"

Not only him, but all the powerful individuals in the arena who had stepped into the Heavenly King Realm or had some understanding of the origin of attributes all stood up straight in shock, staring in horror at the figure that was gradually expanding in the ball of white light.

Professional level, attribute origin.

Are you kidding me?

Can these two things be put together and appear on a single Pokémon at the same time?

"Click!!!"

As the light of evolution shattered, Garchomp let out a dragon's roar, revealing its domineering, deep blue, slender form.

"The essence of the dragon!"

Wataru, Dorasena, and Genji, these three dragon masters, spoke up almost simultaneously.

They were all dragon trainers, with a more acute sense of dragon-type energy, and they sensed the origin of that energy in an instant.

"Click click click! (Shark Lord, I really succeeded this time!)"

Lu Sha let out another excited dragon roar, and at the same time, he danced wildly and stacked up the Soul Dance Fierce Sonic Boom once again.

In the instant of evolution, through his own efforts, he forcibly raised the Dragon Pulse to the instinct level.

The slight 3% increase in attribute control brought it just to the 70% threshold, triggering the automatic comprehension of the origin.

In that instant, he felt an unseen interaction with the world.

The so-called mastery of attributes represents an affinity for natural attributes.

The higher the affinity, the more energy the move can draw upon, but this is ultimately a passive way of borrowing power.

The essence of attributes, on the other hand, is to turn passivity into initiative.

When control crosses a critical point, Pokémon no longer borrow energy, but learn how to harness the energy of nature.

As for why he could comprehend it on his own with only 70% control, Lu Sha understood at this moment.

Once he crossed this hurdle, he would have essentially reconstructed his life form, becoming an existence similar to a spirit with innate dragon attributes.

For him at this moment, controlling Dragon-type energy was as natural as breathing and drinking water; he didn't need to train hard like other Pokémon to comprehend it.

Others grasp the essence through intuition, hard work, and opportunity.

He, on the other hand, relied on his seemingly endless talent, making the difference in their abilities immediately apparent.

"Buzz!!"

With Lu Sha's unrestrained movements, the second round of Soul Dance Sonic Boom reached its limit.

With a 33.64-fold increase in all stats, combined with its pseudo-legendary Garchomp's base stats and near-gym level energy, it truly shines.

It's no exaggeration to say that during the five minutes that the amplification took effect, Lu Sha was a Champion-level Pokémon.

"Battle begins!"

Seeing that Shiba was surprised for a long time, and finally had his amplification fully stacked, Genji gave the order to start the match with great anticipation.

Garchomp, having just evolved and already mastered its type, was eagerly anticipating what its opponent would do.

"Superhuman strength, let's go!"

At the very beginning, Shiba launched the first attack.

His professional-level comprehension of the origin of attributes surprised him, but it was not enough to make him lose his fighting spirit.

It's just his inherent attribute; he also possesses superhuman strength.

As a fighter, the word "retreat" does not exist in his dictionary.

"Monster! (Explosive Fist!)"

All four of the monstrous fists were covered in a brown glow, a symbol of the added power of the fighting energy.

本能级的爆裂拳，搭配格斗系本源，能够同时附加4只拳头，1+1+1+1>4的威力。

Faced with the monstrous strength of the explosive punch, amplified by eight layers of bodybuilding, Lu Sha merely let out a dragon's roar: "Crack!"

With that dragon roar, the young lady's phantom suddenly appeared behind Lu Sha's nearly 2.2-meter-long Garchomp body.

Unlike before, this time, behind the young lady's phantom image, there was another layer of Lu Sha's phantom image.

Although both are condensed from dragon-type energy, the young lady's phantom is imbued with super energy origin, while Lu Sha's phantom is imbued with dragon-type origin.

"Is it coming...?"

Upon seeing the phantom image behind Lu Sha, everyone from Zhuqing Academy showed expressions of anticipation.

They had truly witnessed the power of this move.

Now that Lu Sha is even stronger, they are eagerly anticipating the power of this move.

Boom!!!

"Strange!"

The monstrous four-fist burst punch was aimed at Lu Sha, but it was intercepted by the energy bursting from the giant dragon behind Lu Sha.

The two collided in mid-air, and the violent aftershocks rippled outwards.

The ground within the site cracked inch by inch, and dust and smoke scattered everywhere.

A single collision completely covered the 200-meter-diameter field, leaving it in ruins.

"A clash of titans has actually occurred at the Academy Cup. These young people these days are truly remarkable."

Genji sighed, and the Salamence beneath him let out a roar.

The dragon's energy was released, blocking the aftershock of the Heavenly King-level attack and preventing it from reaching the audience.

"oh!!!"

The audience paid no attention to the aftershocks, instead erupting in enthusiastic shouts and cheers.

The ultimate enjoyment of watching a game live is witnessing the most intense clashes.

The aftershocks from being blocked, and the resulting gusts of wind, were enough to make the audience members stagger.

But it's precisely because of this excitement, and because of the strength of both sides in the battle below, that it's so thrilling!

As the smoke and dust dissipated, Lu Shao'ao was enveloped in a dense array of dragon-type energy.

In front of him, the monstrous four fists slammed into the dragon shadow conjured by the dragon's power, and the two remained locked in a stalemate.

"Shiba! Super strength!"

"Cattleya! Garchomp!"

'

'

As the collisions continued, the audience kept chanting the names of both teams.

Neither of the two fighters is from their home turf, so they can appreciate this rare clash of titans from a purely appreciative perspective.

Yesterday's opening match between the two superstars was not as intense as today's battle.

Today's ticket purchase was even more worthwhile!

"Bang!!!"

The stalemate will eventually come to a conclusion.

Three seconds later, the monstrous body was thrown out and landed heavily on the ground more than ten meters away.

"oops!"

"pity!"

"Just a little bit short."

Although the superhuman strength quickly sprang to his feet, the viewers watching the live stream from the Kanto region were filled with disappointment, their feet drooping and chests trembling.

"Cattleya!!"

"Incredibly powerful!"

"There is hope!"

On the contrary, the Sinnoh audience cheered when they saw Lu Sha still standing in the arena.

"Wow, that's amazing! This is the long-lost thrill of excitement!"

Shiba was not discouraged at all by his initial failure; on the contrary, his smile grew even wider.

"Super Strength! Again! Explosive Fist!"

"Strange!"

The monstrous strength charged forward again, without any hesitation or tactical planning.

The appeal of fighting games lies in the visceral, bone-crunching combat.

The moment they stop is the moment the outcome is decided.

"Click!"

Lu Sha remained motionless, but simply stretched out his hand towards the charging monster and gave it the middle finger.

At the same time, his own illusory image behind him also reached out forward.

Dragon's power! Unleashed once more!

Garchomp's dragon shadow charged toward Machamp once more.

"Strange power!"

From a distance, Shiba roared, his muscles tensing as if he were the one exerting the force.

With his roar, and the monstrous strength that charged forward, his muscles grew even thicker.

"boom!!!"

The four explosive punches collided with the dragon's power once again.

As usual, the aftershocks swept outwards, and the two sides remained locked in a stalemate.

This time, the superhuman strength lasted for a full 5 seconds before it was thrown away.

During this brief interval, Lu Sha did not use any other techniques.

It's not that he can't use it, but that even if he did, he couldn't attach his own essence to it.

With his current strength, being able to control one technique imbued with his own essence at the same time is already his limit.

The young lady is capable of multitasking, but he is the main force in today's battle.

This time, the giant was thrown even closer, clearly showing that his rematch with Shiba was not reckless, but rather that he was truly getting stronger with each battle.

The more they fight, the stronger they become; the stronger they become, the more they fight. This can be considered the talent of fighters and fighting Pokémon.

This exchange of moves continued three more times.

Neither Lu Sha nor Guai Li showed any intention of changing their moves.

Shiba's roars grew louder and louder, and his superhuman strength lasted longer and longer.

"Super strength! Super strength!"

"One more time! One more time!"

'

""

Challengers who never give up always receive support from countless people.

Countless viewers were moved by Shiba and the superhuman strength, and chanted their names.

At this moment, they are like heroes challenging a great demon king, deserving everyone's respect.

Even the most discerning Kanto viewers were on the edge of their seats, hoping that Mighty could persevere and defeat the formidable Lu Sha and Cattleya.

Miss, look at that shout! We've really become the villains.

Watching the monstrous strength slowly rise again, and hearing the overwhelming cheers around him, Lu Sha simply chuckled, stretched out his hand, and the dragon shadow of Garchomp charged out once more.

Don't you like it? We're villains to begin with, aren't we? Then I'll add my own essence and defeat them all at once.

Cattleya tilted her head slightly, her gaze serene as she looked at Shiba and the monstrous strength.

The attacks just now were all fought by Lu Sha using her own power. Her superpower source only provided defense for Lu Sha and did not participate in the attack at all.

If the two attack together, that is the Demon King's full power, and even the most powerful hero will have no chance.

"No need, let him try. I want to see if he can defeat the arrogant minister before the true Great Demon King and truly stand before the Great Demon King."

Lu Sha grinned, and his claws slammed down. The dragon shadow moved even faster, colliding with the prepared monstrous force once again.

And don't you think it's satisfying to see the audience cheering for the enemy?

"Um?"

Gadley slightly raised her head, listening to the cheers for the enemy around her, and watching the monstrous strength that refused to give up despite knowing it was no match for the enemy. A strange emotion welled up in her heart.

Is it pleasant? Why?

"Because..." Lu Sha chuckled, "all the encouragement to persevere and never give up on the enemy is the highest praise we, as their opponents, can offer!"

The moment Lu Sha finished speaking, Guai Li and Shiba roared simultaneously. For the first time, they were not repelled by the dragon shadow, but instead shattered Lu Sha's dragon power.

"oh!!!"

When the superhuman strength finally triumphed over the technique, everyone in the audience cheered.

Even some trainers who had already seen the difference in strength gave their applause without reservation.

Being able to face the gap without giving up and strive to create a miracle is itself a respectable thing.

In particular, after being washed by Lu Sha's dragon shadow countless times, both Guai Li and Shiba had small wounds on their bodies.

Numerous lacerations appeared on the bulging muscles of their chests.

They were more like medals of honor than injuries.

"You are strong. But now, it's our turn!"

Shiba laughed wildly, swinging his fists forward repeatedly, his muscles pulsating with each movement, and an incredibly powerful aura emanating from his body.

"An aura close to the origin... After this battle, he should be able to overcome that hurdle in a month at most." Genji glanced at Shiba a couple more times, his voice tinged with surprise.

Wataru and Kona, who were in the waiting area of ​​Quartz Academy, had surprisingly similar expressions, a mixture of anticipation and apprehension.

Shiba is their direct competitor in the future, but it is also their partner today.

If they can't even get past Cattleya, what future do they, who come from Quartz Academy, have to talk about?

"Super Strength! Another Explosive Fist!"

With Shiba's roar, Mighty seemed to be burning up, and brownish-yellow fighting energy enveloped his entire body.

With its roar, the energy added to the original four explosive punches suddenly doubled.

"Crack? (Ultimate level? They all broke through at the last minute? Shark is really becoming a villain in a shonen manga today.)"

Seeing that the strength of the monster was growing stronger and its connection with Shiba was deepening, Lu Sha couldn't help but marvel.

If everyone's life is a story in which they are the protagonist.

At this moment, he must be the most powerful enemy that Shiba has ever encountered in his life story up to this day.

Unfortunately, he's not one of those lowly villains in shonen manga who get overtaken by the protagonist!
