Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

Three consecutive Flame Fang attacks failed to hit the agile Lucario.

Lucario, nestled in Tyranitar's arms, relentlessly punched and kicked, unleashing its full range of close-quarters combat damage upon Tyranitar.

And by using his close-range combat skills to hurt Tyranitar, Lucario successfully broke free from its control.

Just as Tyranitar was about to use Flame Fang to attack again, Lucario took the opportunity to crouch down.

"Lucario, kick him down!"

The more heavy the opponent is, the stronger the knockdown skill becomes, and Tyranitar weighs over 400 pounds.

And because it was in a hurry to bend down and bite Lucario, it lost its balance and was swept down by Lucario's low kick.

He fell heavily to the ground with a loud thud, startling the entire audience.

Moreover, the sandstorm on the field stopped at the same time after this attack.

"Tyranitar!" Sundae looked anxiously at Tyranitar. Fortunately, although it was injured, it had not lost its ability to fight.

"My sweetheart, hold on! Use Swallow Return!"

Maintaining a position similar to lying on the ground, Bangilas spread his arms and began to glide and run along the ground with his short legs.

Given its enormous size, this action feels a bit funny, and it turns out Tyranitar can run so fast.

As Ash ran, Tyranitar suddenly disappeared, and Ash realized that Aerial Ace was coming.

"Lucario, use Protect."

Because of its unique attack method, even if the waveguide senses the moment before the attack, it will be too close to dodge.

So Ash didn't let Lucario dodge; he used Protect directly.

Sure enough, Tyranitar appeared directly behind Lucario, successfully defending against its Aerial Ace.

"Mount Tai pressing down!"

It was a combination move! The action of opening the arms to perform Swallow Return was seamlessly connected to Mount Tai Press Down.

It charged towards Lucario, but this time Protect didn't work.

Unable to dodge in time, Lucario was slammed to the ground by this moving mountain.

"Just like that, use 100,000 horsepower!"

Tyranitar, who was lying on the ground pinning Lucario down, immediately began to move his limbs wildly and launch an attack on his opponent.

To the uninitiated, this scene might make it seem as if Lucario was being abused by Tyranitar.

"You two are both male, what kind of scene is this?" But it must be said that Sundae's command this time was excellent.

At this point, there was no need to hesitate any longer. Ash rolled up his sleeves, revealing the Key Stone on his wrist.

"Lucario, Mega Evolve!"

Chapter 100 This is the power of a muscular man!

The Mega Stone on Lucario's wrist resonates with Ash's Key Stone in the middle of the field.

"Lucario~!" Lucario's entire body glowed with white light.

Lucario, having completed its evolution, used its increased power to kick Tyranitar away and then quickly got up.

The ears on the top of her head, like ribbons, swayed in the wind.

Mega Lucario's expression turned cold and ruthless as he focused all his attention on the enemy before him.

In this state, Lucario will fully share Ash's blue bar, representing its peak performance.

"Oh my god, it's evolution! Ash's Lucario has evolved! I didn't know Lucario could evolve!"

Not only the commentators, but also the audience was shocked; it was the first time they had ever witnessed Mega Evolution.

In the Kanto region, because it is far from Kalos, and the official research on Mega Evolution is not yet thorough enough.

Therefore, only well-informed and powerful trainers and high-ranking league officials would know about it.

"It's quite a sight to see Ash so skilled at using Mega Evolution." Professor Oak assumed that Ash's Mega Stone was obtained by Misty through the Cerulean Gym.

"He often trains with Lucario in this area."

Xiaoxia, on the other hand, always believed that Ash got Lucario's Mega Stone from Professor Oak.

"Hua Lan seems to be developing quite well; they've even extended their influence to Carlos."

"Professor Oak, as expected of a former champion and now a research giant, has so many good things to offer. He just gives away Mega Evolution Stones like that."

Neither of them noticed anything amiss.

"Lucario, Continuous Wave Missile!"

Lucario pushed his hands forward, and blue energy balls rapidly condensed between his palms, firing them one after another towards Tyranitar's location.

With Ash's support, Lucario now has an unlimited supply of Aura Spheres.

The blasted-away Tyranitar had barely gotten to his feet when he was stunned by a barrage of wave missiles.

"Tyranitar, use Iron Barrier again!" Sundae was at a loss for what to do, so he could only let Tyranitar try to enhance his own defense.

But this was destined to be a futile struggle. Under the bombardment of the missiles, Bangilas only managed to hold on for a short while before collapsing and losing consciousness.

The referee, who jogged over, carefully observed the situation and then raised the flag on the side of the sundae.

"Tyranitar, incapacitated!"

"The mighty Tyranitar has also fallen. Now, only one Pokémon that has not yet appeared and a Dragonite that has already suffered considerable damage remain for the Dai team."

"And Ash still has these two Pokémon that haven't been used yet. Will the beautiful Sundae be able to defeat Ash?"

"Why do you make me sound like some big boss?"

Ignoring the commentator, Ash turned to Sundae, whose face was somewhat gloomy, and waited for her to send out her next Pokémon.

"I'm begging you again, Dragonite." Sundae didn't choose to send out a new Pokémon, but instead continued to use Dragonite.

The Dragonite, upon returning to the field, immediately unleashed a Dragon Roar.

The already fierce gaze of Lucario clashed intensely with the equally fierce gaze of Lucario after its evolution.

"Dragonite, Fire Punch!"

"Lucario, use Ice Punch!"

The two Pokémon moved almost simultaneously, throwing punches at each other. There were no dazzling energy blasts, only simple and straightforward exchanges of blows.

However, thanks to the advantage of Aura's "Observation Haki", Lucario can always dodge Dragonite's Fire Punch with tricky moves.

Lucario's Ice Punch, however, seized the opportunity in the blink of an eye and struck Dragonite in the abdomen.

Large patches of ice rapidly spread along the cold air across Dragonite's belly.

"Use Flamethrower to melt the ice, Dragonite, fly up!"

Realizing that he could no longer engage Lucario in close combat, Sundae quickly ordered Dragonite to use its flight advantage to escape into the sky.

Dragonite spewed a pillar of fire toward its belly, melting the ice there and temporarily forcing Lucario back, before immediately flying into the sky.

But this trick won't work on Ash. "Lucario, go for it!"

After being enhanced with a small amount of intelligence, the Waveguide Bone Staff grew incredibly long, swatting a Dragonite that had flown halfway back onto the field as if swatting a fly.

"Wave missile".

Five wave missiles were fired in quick succession, hitting Dragonite. After the smoke cleared, Dragonite lost its ability to fight.

"Big crisis! Sundae only has one Pokémon left!"

However, at this moment, Sundae was not nervous or frustrated. Instead, she still had that haughty little devil expression on her face.

"Hmph, don't think you can make me bow down so easily. Bring out my last trump card, Marowak!"

Sundae took out a Poké Ball covered in hearts and diamonds and released her last Pokémon.

As expected, it was Marowak; Ash had anticipated it.

"Crackling sounds, I'm hitting wildly with this bone club!"

"Lucario, fight with your guts!"

The Crackling Bone Club and Lucario's Aura Strike clashed together, one slashing horizontally while the other slashed vertically.

Then, after several rounds of fighting, an explosion occurred inexplicably at the point where their bones made contact.

The distance between them widened once again, and Lucario was already panting.

It wasn't known for its endurance to begin with, and the intense battle took a heavy toll on its stamina.

"Grumble, use it, bone boomerang!"

The Bone Boomerang is extremely fast, but it's still no match for Lucario's waveguide perception.

It easily dodged both attacks.

However, it's worth praising that Sundae has indeed grown a lot during this long journey, in order to prevent Ash from taking away the Bone Stick like he did before.

Marowak was constantly watching the trajectory of the Bone Club and quickly ran towards Lucario's location, catching the Bone Club as it flew back.

"Use the stomp now!"

Lucario, who had just bent down to avoid the Bone Boomerang, was caught off guard and had its toes stepped on by Crawling.

Because the attack is imbued with the power of regret, the stomp's power will double if the previous skill misses.

A heavy blow to its toe caused Lucario, who had always acted tough after Mega Evolution, to shed tears of pain.

However, our little wolf dog resisted the urge to jump up and hug his toes.

"Lucario, Aura Missile!"

Ash immediately raised his hand at the command and launched a wave missile at the nearby Marowak.

When the blue energy ball hit, Marowak immediately showed a pained expression, and the smoke from the explosion completely obscured its vision.

"Freeze Punch!"

Emerging from the smoke was Lucario's furious gaze, followed by a fist radiating blue light.

The Freeze Punch hit its mark perfectly, with outstanding results!

Sundae's last Pokémon has also fallen.

"Marowak is unable to battle. Ash is the winner of this match!"

The entire audience cheered as the first person to advance to the Quartz Conference semifinals was born.

This so-called Star Maid actually gave Ash a parchment contract, which stated that it would only take effect if signed voluntarily.

It seems that she will only be "promoted" to Star Maid after Sundae signs the contract.

Chapter 101 When there's work, the secretary does it; when there's nothing to do, there's nothing to do...

"Ash once again demonstrated his strength, defeating Sundae's six Pokémon with four of his own to qualify for the semifinals."

"Let's congratulate Ash!"

Led by the commentator, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again, and Xiao Zhi turned around and waved to the audience around him to express his gratitude.

His friends clapped and cheered each other to express their excitement, and even Naz had a happy smile on her face thanks to the atmosphere around them.

In the players' lounge after the match.

"I lost, I lost, I lost..."

Since the match ended, Sundae has been muttering to herself, as if she still can't accept the outcome.
