Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

The other party knows so many legends, but it's hard to tell whether they are friend or foe.

However, speaking of which, it seems like Li Chen is the kind of trainer who can get along with anyone.

Like someone who keeps themselves out of the situation.

"Really, I just want to see him. Of course, if Iffertar wants to come with me, that's fine too."

Li Chen chuckled a few times, making no attempt to hide his thoughts.

He subdued x

Go with him?

Karuni, Vladari: "..."

Chapter 638 VS Karuni

Li Chen's gaze fell on Karuni with a scrutinizing look.

The hair accessory adorning the champion's grey hair gleamed with an unusual luster in the sunlight, swaying gently as she tilted her head slightly.

"Miss Karuni, let's have a match."

Upon hearing this, Karuni's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised an eyebrow.

She instinctively gripped the coffee cup in her hand, her knuckles turning slightly white.

"Okay."

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and her previous unease vanished.

Gardevoir sensed the trainer's emotional change, and her skirt swayed with her psychic powers, creating subtle ripples in her psychic field.

Vladali glanced at the two men with interest.

"But are you sure it's now?"

Karuni's fingertips were already pressed against the Poké Ball at her waist.

"And right here?"

"That's right, a three-on-three battle. If I remember correctly, Miss Karuni, you participated in the World Championship, right?"

Li Chen's fingertips gently caressed the rim of the coffee cup, but his gaze had already passed over Karuni, as if he were looking into a more distant place.

"Miss Karuni, I presume your world championship ranking is..."

His voice was soft, yet it made Gardevoir tense up instantly.

"It must be very high, right?"

Rayquaza poked its head in, its vertical pupils staring straight at Karuni, its eyes clearly saying, "Say yes quickly."

Fradali stirred his coffee thoughtfully, the latte art on the milk foam somehow becoming a mess.

He noticed that the edge of the battle invitation sticking out of Li Chen's pocket was still stained with Giratina's shadow energy.

"so......"

Karuni slowly stood up, the champion hair ornament in her gray hair jingling. She understood Li Chen's thoughts to some extent.

"You're trying to step on my ranking..."

Her Gardevoir has already assumed a battle stance.

"Go challenge the Pill Emperor?"

Li Chen smiled without saying a word, simply tossing the Poké Ball in his hand. Rainbow light swirled across the surface of the ball, faintly reflecting the phantom of his own Pokémon rubbing its hands together in anticipation.

"How about a three-on-three match?"

He pointed to the battle plaza outside the Prism Tower and laughed.

Karuni chuckled softly, "Okay."

......

......

An electronic barrier slowly rose in the battle arena, enveloping the central area in a pale blue energy field. Rotom drones, flashing red lights, flew in, their mechanical voices echoing around the arena:

[High-level combat reaction detected!]

[Connecting to the World Championship live system!]

[Current matchup confirmed: Kalos Champion Karune vs. Trainer Li Chen!]

The once bustling square suddenly fell silent.

Gym Leader Clemont, who was instructing a new trainer, suddenly turned around, and the tactical board in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud"; the ice cream vendor on the street corner forgot to turn off the machine, and the ice cream cones were piled up into a small mountain; even the Steel-Armored Shrimp by the fountain stopped playing in the water, and its pincers were hanging in mid-air.

The Rotom drone's camera focused, projecting the image onto the central large screen.

[Warning: Legendary energy fluctuation detected!]

[Recommended evacuation radius: 500 meters!]

However, no one moved. All the passersby held their breath, staring intently at the two people standing opposite each other in the center of the scene.

Gardevoir's foresight has already cast a starburst pattern on the ground, while the rainbow-colored Poké Ball in Li Chen's hand is constantly emitting energy ripples that distort space.

Karune's fingertip twirled gently on the Poké Ball, and Gardevoir's figure vanished in the light.

With a flick of her wrist, she threw out another Poké Ball.

"Show your ancient majesty, Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"Hand-knee!"

With a deafening roar, the enormous Tyrannosaurus Rex Pokémon crashed to the ground.

Its thick tail swept across the ground, carving deep furrows into the steel plates of the specially designed battlefield. Its vertical pupils locked onto Li Chen, and a ghostly glow of dragon-type energy lingered between its sharp teeth.

Li Chen's lips curled up slightly as he deftly spun the rainbow-colored Poké Ball in his hand half a circle.

"Martial Arts Master Bear, go!"

The moment the Poké Ball was activated, a stream of azure water swept across the entire area like a cape.

The figure of Martial Arts Master Xiong appeared in the water curtain. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and the ripple-like wave power instantly spread to the entire venue.

It unleashed its fighting aura, clashing head-on with the Tyrannosaurus Rex's dragon might, stirring up visible energy turbulence in the center of the arena.

Combo style!

Pokémon: Tyranitar

[Type: Rock, Dragon]

[Level: 86 (Mid-stage Champion)]

【Characteristic: Hard Head】

[Movement: Omitted]

Karuni's fingertips brushed against the strands of hair beside her ear, her gray hair fluttering in the turbulent energy currents.

"Monsterjaw Dragon—"

Her voice suddenly became sharp.

"Double-edged hammer!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex slammed its forepaws into the ground, causing the entire battlefield to crack.

Its head was instantly encased in thick rock layers, the jagged, sharp rocks resembling the ferocious crown of an ancient dinosaur.

With a deafening roar, its massive body transformed into a yellowish-brown afterimage, shattering the ground wherever it passed!

The puddle beneath the Martial Arts Bear Master's feet boiled from the shockwave, but it remained focused with its eyes closed. Until the Monster Jaw Dragon's rocky hammer was only three meters away!

Li Chen's command and the power of the waveguide arrived simultaneously:

"The water flows continuously."

Martial Arts Master Xiong suddenly opened his eyes, and the water beneath his feet suddenly spiraled upwards.

Instead of retreating, it advanced, carrying a towering wave that charged head-on towards the Monster Jaw Dragon.

Just as the two were about to collide, its body suddenly split into three!

[Buzz...Stand ability detected...Buzz...]

The Rotom drone's alarm was drowned out by the sound of explosions.

In the earth-shattering collision, the Rock Helmet of the Monster Jaw Dragon and the Water Fist of the Martial Arts Bear Master shattered simultaneously.

Amidst the mist and rubble, the true form of the Martial Arts Bear Master could be vaguely seen, having circled behind the Monster Jaw Dragon. The blue light from the second wave of water strikes illuminated its taut back muscles!

Rumble!

Amidst a deafening roar, the massive body of the Halocorosaurus staggered backward, each step leaving deep dents in the alloy floor.

Its rock helmet was mostly broken, revealing its head with red marks underneath.

The martial arts bear master's water ribbons drew azure trajectories in the air, and the second combo accurately hit the side of the monster's belly.

When the water-based energy erupted, it left spiral-shaped ripple marks on the Tyrannosaurus Rex's tough skin, direct proof that the aura force had penetrated its defenses.

"Roar--!"

The monstrous dragon shook its head in pain, the continuous water jets blurring its vision.

But it still stubbornly raised its front claws, and rock energy condensed at the tips of its claws.

Karuni's instructions suddenly changed:

"Dragon Claw Feint Attack!"

The monstrous claws changed direction strangely in mid-air, suddenly grabbing at the open space three meters behind it.

Just as the audience was wondering, the figure of the martial arts bear master was actually forced to appear there. It turned out that it had already used a "stand-in" to create an illusion, and its real body was about to go around to the back and launch the third combo!

Amidst the splashing water, Li Chen's pupils contracted slightly.

The champion's prediction... was more tricky than he had imagined.

In the center of the arena, two figures collided with a deafening roar!

The Jawed Dragon's claws tore through the air, slashing down with the brute force of an ancient beast; the Martial Arts Bear Master's Water Stream Strike stirred up raging waves, each punch containing penetrating wave power.

boom--! ! !

The sheer brutal clash sent shockwaves through the entire arena. The shockwave exploded in a ring, sending the nearest Rotom drones tumbling through the air.

However, the stalemate lasted only a moment—

"Crack!"

The monstrous claws were forcefully knocked open, and the joints of its thick forelimbs made a cracking sound as it could not bear the weight.

It staggered back three steps, each step leaving a spiderweb-like crack in the alloy floor.

In contrast, although the martial arts master Xiong was also forced back by the recoil, he steadied himself by lightly tapping his toes twice on the water's surface, and the ribbons on his head still fluttered in the wind.

Karuni's fingertips unconsciously clenched.

This martial arts bear master's foundation... is 30% deeper than she estimated!

Li Chen noticed, however, that an abnormal purple light was gathering deep in the throat of the Strange Jaw Dragon as it panted.

That's their Achilles' heel!

Just as the Martial Arts Bear Master was about to press his advantage, the Monster Jaw Dragon's pupils suddenly contracted, and the whites of its eyes instantly became bloodshot.

It raised its head and let out a sharp shriek that was not like a dragon's roar. Dark purple dragon energy burst forth from every pore of its body like a volcanic eruption!

boom--!!!

The violent shockwave exploded in a spherical shape, instantly shattering the martial arts bear master's water barrier.
