Lucario still realizes that he is immature. I'm not ashamed of being weak, but I don't want to continue to be weak. Lucario knew that Cam had the same idea.

He wants to grow up in battle with his master, who knows his weaknesses, and prove his current strength.

That's why I can't afford to lose this fight.

The thought made Lucario even more volatile.

Doculog was still in the air as he jumped to mitigate the earthquake. Lucario throws a wave bomb with all his might.

Wave Bomb damage to Dokulog is halved. However, no matter how much the damage is halved, if you take damage multiple times, the damage will accumulate in your body. In addition, the fatigue of attacking at a fairly fast speed in order to cut off Lucario is also accumulating. I'm almost 40% off my stamina.

But Lucario is no different. Lucario didn't hit directly either, so the damage was suppressed, but the physical strength that was cut was great. Convinced that the next direct hit would win, Lucario closed in on Dokulog.

Dokulog, who was directly hit by the wave bomb, wiped away the smoke from the wave bomb and saw that Lucario had pressed in front of him.

"Comet Punch!"

Lucario's comet punch hits directly.

Lucario was convinced that "I won". There is a sense of responsiveness and not being blocked. Considering Sword Dance's attack power boost, Dokulog was defeated. I thought so too.

"Not yet!"

Dorkulog's eyes are not dead.

"Change!"

Lucario, who was convinced of victory, was slow to notice the signs, and the change hit his torso directly. Fighting moves are extremely effective against the steel Lucario.

At the moment when his physical strength was completely exhausted, Lucario used his last strength and slammed a comet punch into Dokulog's body. Not perfect in terms of strength, but Lucario and Docrog fell at the same time, partly due to Docker's low stamina.

"Thank you for your efforts, Dokulog."

"Enough. Well done Lucario. “

Put Pokémon back into the ball with each other.

Lucario may be reluctant to defeat him, but Dokulog's poison moves are very difficult to deal with, so even being able to weigh them up is within Kem's expectations as a game designer.

Now two to three. But because of the scars on his body, Bashamo didn't know how long he could fight. In the worst-case scenario, Kem would have won, but the way he won wasn't very convincing for him.

It doesn't have to be as elegant as Sirona, but it's not so scary either. Still, because I admire that back, I wanted to win a fight that was as close to that fighting style as possible. This way I can finally feel confident in myself. That's what I thought.

"Why did you fail again?"

What I said to myself over and over again in my head.

"Whew"

The situation seems to be favorable at first glance, but the rest of Keim's hands are Mukhok Hawk and Heiki. With the exception of Mukhawk, Blackie is at a huge disadvantage against grappling opponents. It is difficult to say that this is a favorable situation.

This time, though, unlike before, Keim was determined to "definitely win" and came.

The words of Gadelia, the words of Alice, the words of the four seasons, the words of N.

And Sirona's thoughts.

Having acquired a lot of things, Kem is now in this field.

The Pokémon believe in themselves and do everything they can to defeat sumo.

It can be said that Kem believes in all this.

But there is one person I don't trust.

"Now..."

The opponent is strong.

If you don't give it your all, it's not an opponent you can win.

I was powerless against myself

The guilt of not being able to give good instructions, and the fear of failure despite the amount I have gotten.

Of course it is

It's an emotion that everyone has. Everyone is afraid of making mistakes.

Even Shirona was the same. Then there is no need to bother with "those".

If you can't trust me, at least you must be my ally.

Keim reaffirmed his resolve as he picked up Mukhawk's ball and threw it to the other side of the court.

An eagle jumped out of the ball and screamed loudly.

In response, sumo cast a spell. Mukhok, who has a flying department, seems to have an advantage, but he can't let his guard down, as he has learned techniques such as Cryo Fist and Stone Fujiyoshi as countermeasures against the flying department.

Mukhawk's characteristic "intimidation" made Charem hesitate, and his attack power dropped by one level. However, due to the fact that Zarem's trait "Yoga Power" increases attack power when attacking, Zarem's attack power at the moment of attack is comparable to that of Lucario filled with sword dance.

"Callham, headbutt the mind!"

"Mukhok, give the swallow back!"

Charlim's mind headbutts and Mukhawk's swallow clash. Yan Weishi was very effective against Charlem, but the effects of Charlem's yoga power also caused considerable damage to Mukhok.

Mukhawk, who has low stamina, is at a disadvantage in the grappling. If I could, I would like to somehow connect them with Lucario

The Mukhawk is a technical configuration that focuses on debuffing opponents rather than buffing themselves. If I could, I would like to debuff Lucario, the ace of sumo wrestling, but I can't afford it.

"I'm Ganshi Fuji!"

"Avoid!"

Mukhok dodged the falling rocks left and right. Mukhok, who can fly in the sky, is already highly mobile. However, if you take this amount of damage, you will take a lot of damage due to its low durability.

Therefore, "where to switch the attack" is particularly important. And mentoring is something that tests the skill of the trainer, and if successful, it creates a great opportunity.

However, if it fails, the Pokémon will take a lot of damage. That's why evaluation is so important.

I'm still dodging falling rocks, but it's getting harder and harder to dodge. In addition, Charman also skillfully used rocks to keep Mukhok away from him. Since Mukhok is a flyer, he knows that close combat is disadvantageous.

"Even if it's a little reluctant, I'll break through. Mukhawk, Steel Wing! ”

Mukhok used its hard wings to crush falling rocks. The rock-based move "Rock Fuji" and the steel-based move "Steel Wing" do not work well together, so the rock will be crushed continuously.

Mukhok Hawk approached Charlem with steel wings, but Sumo also knew it was going to happen.

"Zarem, telekinesis!"

Charman's telekinesis grabbed Mukhok and threw him to the ground.

Mukhok took damage, but quickly defeated telekinesis and returned to the air.

"Feather Dance!"

Mukhok flew directly above Charlem, and Mukhok's feathers wrapped around Charlim's body, reducing its attack power.

Although it has Charlim's trait "Yoga Power", it is difficult to reduce its attack power. Especially against Kuki, who has the hardness of Kem's hand, even a highly effective fighting move may not be able to deal good damage.

Sumo thought it was at least necessary to defeat Mukhok as soon as possible and attack immediately.

"Charem, meditate."

Charem is a Pokémon with a high attack power, but if you reduce your attack power with Threat and Feather Dance, the attack power of special attacks will be higher. That being the case, I think it would be easier to take it down by adding Mukhok's special attack.

"Hey, let's go! Mukhawk. ”

Keim realizes that he can read his thoughts, but can't stop them, so he orders Mukhok to do the following:

Mukhok immediately sensed this and rushed to Zarem.

However, Charlem has completed meditation and added special attacks and special defenses. Intercept Mukhok Hawk at any time with telekinesis. With a little distance left, Charlim's telekinetic speed could be cast before Mukhhawk arrived.

Sumo thinks Keim is in a hurry to win. Even with charismatic special attack race value, Mukhok can be defeated by matching willpower with a type of first-level meditation. The rest of the people thought that as long as they knocked down Lucario and Charem with their fighting moves, he could do anything, because the last Bashamo was already covered in injuries.

The idea is correct. That's the judgment of most trainers in this situation, and it is.

However, his opponent was Kem, the strongest trainer in the Sinnoh region, under the disciple of Sirona.

Although he is not gifted, he is smart, and the knowledge and experience he has gained from countless failures is more than just talent. Moreover, Kem is now free of the stagnation of thought that has been so weak.

Therefore, you can also think about how the other person perceives you.

Kem's next move came as a surprise to sumo.

"Tumbergeri"

Mukhok suddenly accelerated, rushed towards Charem, and then immediately returned to Keim. It was Esheki who came out next.

Zarem, who was already activating his telekinesis, couldn't help but shoot his telekinesis at Xiao Hei, but the telekinesis was ineffective against the bad guy Xiao Hei. As a result, Blackie is attacked by Zarem, and Zarem's attack is full of holes.

"Dying throes!"

Blaich's arm pierced Charlem's body.

Charlem crossed his arms and was attacked by Blackie, but the damage was not small.

I was beaten! I've never used a tomboy before, after all, Mr. Keim today is not the same as before!

So far, I've barely used the technique of exchanging Pokémon. I thought we were both pretty much on the same page, so I don't think we have a plan that we don't know yet.

Have you studied it lately? No, I feel like I'm used to it, but I haven't used it yet?

I don't know why they don't use it, but no matter what, it would be a loss to let Xiao Hei and Zarem fight like this. In the current situation, Charem's attack power has been greatly reduced, so just increase the time for Xiao Hei to accumulate "curses" and strengthen them.

Sumo thought it would be best to quietly replace Lucario and try to get Charlem back into the ball.

"Chalem, please come back"

"Follow me!"

Just before Salem got back to the ball, Blakey caught up with Salem. Callum managed to avoid a direct hit, but the damage accumulated considerably.

Seeing the unilateral return of sumo wrestling, the gym trainers who watched the battle held their breath.

I've seen Kem and sumo fight countless times. Most matches are dominated by sumo wrestling, and although there are occasional draws, Kem rarely dominates.

However, Kem is now pressing. It wasn't a hanging point, but Keim clearly had the upper hand. The trainers were impressed by Kem's spirit and focus.

Talent is mediocre no matter who looks at it. Kem might be able to defeat a serious Gym leader. As a result, expectations are rising.

"What an amazing opponent. I'll do my best, Lucario! “

But as Keim's concentration grew, so did Sumo's. Sumo has been fighting, and I'm in good shape, and I'm in a good mood.

If I can defeat the current Kem, I will definitely know what "power" is! That's how I feel!

Aimo, who has the talent to become a gym director but doesn't understand power, wants to know what real power is.

This is absolutely necessary and cannot be surpassed by talent alone. I'm sure you'll find out this by defeating Keim. I'm sure of that.

"Let's go, Lucario! Swing the bullets! “

With a high-pitched voice, the waves in Lucario's hands gathered and then turned into bullets and fired. Wave Bomb is basically an attack that cannot be completely avoided. You can dodge it by using an obstacle as a shield, but there are no obstacles in this area.

"Weaken it with a wave of evil."

Therefore, Kem decided to intercept. If you can't avoid it, at least hit the skill to reduce the damage so that your options can increase later.

Blackie's evil wave is not enough to break through the wave in terms of type. As a result, Xiao Hei received a wave bomb, but it was reduced, and Xiao Hei's special defense was very high. Although it is very effective, it does not cause much harm.

"Lucario, so handsome!"

Blackie jumped backwards onto Lucario's palm, weakening its power, and at this point, Blackie shouted at Lucario.

The demonic move "Bakut" has half the effect on Lucario. Roar is not very powerful, but it has the effect of reducing the opponent's special attack.

Lucario is a Pokémon who excels at attacks and special attacks. Therefore, although the range of skills is very wide, it is not a problem if the debuff is applied. If you add the hardness of Xiao Hei there, the winning line can be seen.

"Then let's dance the sword!"

"Come on, surprise attack!"

Just as he was about to perform the sword dance, Blackie's surprise attack hit Lucario's leg, causing the sword dance to stop. Although it didn't cause much damage, being stopped still hurt Sumo.

"Eight Views!"

Blackie hit Lucario with a surprise strike, but Black, who was originally less agile, couldn't get away.

Since Lucario won with speed, Lucario's attack hit Blackie directly.

"Negro!"

Blackie stood up effortlessly. Since it is not a very strong move in the first place, Xiao Hei, who is hard, can still bear it.

However, I noticed something strange here. Black's body began to become numb.

Is this an extra effect of hacking? If that turns out, I'm out of luck.

Hakkei is a technique that sends impact to the inside of the body. Therefore, if a direct hit is made, the impact can spread throughout the body and may even lead to paralysis. The odds weren't that high, but Keim instead thought that if he was assigned, it was useless to lament.

Besides, for Xiao Hei, the discomfort cannot be said to be a complete disadvantage.

"Lucario!"

Lucario's body suddenly became numb.

My body suddenly started to go numb and I wondered what was going on, but sumo was quick to give an answer.
