Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

Next, it's my turn.

Chansey let out a soft cry.

A gentle, sweet voice rang in Lucario's ears.

Are you ready to die, baby?

This is the sound of Chansey in Lucario's ears.

A punch was thrown.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With a series of sonic booms, Lucario was blasted away.

"Are you kidding me? Double the payback, double the payback, is this even real? Am I dreaming?"

A fighter in the audience said in disbelief.

He said to the muscular man next to him, "Quickly punch me and wake me up."

Muscular man: ? ? ?

This is the first time I've heard of such a request.

But since it was their wish, he couldn't say much.

"Snapped!"

After Lucario fell, the crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the audience.

Chapter 125 Z-Moves

"I'm not dreaming?"

The fighter, covering his cheek, murmured in disbelief.

Wearing work clothes, Meow Meow lay on the stands in the audience area and exclaimed in surprise, "Why does this Chansey smell like a robin's egg? Meow."

"Sonas".

Wobbuffet jumped out of the Poké Ball again.

"You think so too, right, Woof Woof, meow." Meowth took off its hat, revealing the gleaming gold coins on its head.

This scene was witnessed by an old man nearby who was enjoying the sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

He rubbed his eyes, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing.

Meow, dressed in human clothes, speaking human language?

Am I dreaming?

The idea of ​​returning double the amount was already outrageous enough.

I remember three months ago, when I saw Lu Yuan's Patchlet that only ordered takeout, Lu Yuan even said that his Chansey could do a backflip.

At first, I didn't believe it. I thought it was as far-fetched as a talking cat. It was just something I said casually, but I never expected it to come true today.

The world is indeed becoming more and more magical!

"Brother, what do you think?" the old man asked Lu Jing, who was standing to the side.

Lu Jing's face was slightly flushed, and he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, appearing somewhat nervous and uneasy.

He opened his mouth, but hesitated for a moment before stammering, "How else can I look... take... take a look..."

As he spoke, his eyes darted around, avoiding eye contact with the old man, but his gaze kept sneaking glances at the old man beside him.

At this moment, sensing something was wrong, the old man suddenly leaned forward, a look of doubt on his face, and asked softly:

"My dear brother, I've been wanting to ask you something. You've been sweating a lot these past few days. Is there something wrong with your health?"

If you really have some kind of illness, I advise you to seek treatment as soon as possible. Don't end up like me, regretting it now. Sigh, it's all just youthful folly."

The old man sighed deeply, his eyes filled with regret.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jing quickly waved his hand and denied it outright, saying, "No, no, I don't know anything. Where would I get so much sweat? It's all your imagination, brother." Before he finished speaking, he quickly picked up the corner of his clothes and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

On the battlefield.

Silently recalling the unconscious Lucario, Kukui stared ahead with a solemn expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although he always regarded Incineroar as his ace, Lucario's strength was beyond doubt.

In his own team, apart from the Blazing Roaring Tiger, he can be considered the number one combat force.

It follows a rare dual-wielding route, and also has a large number of variation skills for support.

He has rarely lost since he fielded him alongside Incineroar.

But now Lucario has fallen so easily.

He felt uneasy.

Do we really have to resort to that same trick again?

Dr. Kukui's gaze slowly shifted to the silver bracelet on his right wrist, and his eyes gradually hardened.

He really didn't want to use this tactic unless absolutely necessary, but right now, in order to win this battle and obtain the funds needed to form an alliance, he had no other choice.

We'll make it up to them later.

Dr. Kukui finally made up his mind and shouted at Lu Yuan in front of him, "Master Lu Yuan, be careful, I'm about to get serious."

After saying that, he showed off the bracelet without hesitation and embedded a crimson crystal into it.

In an instant, the bracelet emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave swept across the entire area.

This is a Z-Bracelet, and also a Z-Crystal... no, it should be the Z-Crystal exclusive to the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

Lu Yuan analyzed to himself.

The corresponding Z-Move should be... Extreme Dark Leap Smash!

Then, Dr. Kukui performed a strange dance in front of everyone.

The Incineroar on the battlefield also began to dance along with its trainer's movements.

The tense atmosphere was broken by this sudden, awkward dance.

"What's going on? Did you get stunned? Are you going to do a dance to liven things up?" a fighter in the audience asked.

“I don’t understand, I don’t get it,” the other fighter replied.

At this moment, Xiao Du, who was on the commentary stage, noticed the audience's confusion and turned to Shiba beside him: "King Shiba, do you know why Royal Mask suddenly started dancing?"

Shiba, who had been watching the battle, stopped eating the Angry Bun.

To be honest, this Angry Mantou (Angry Mantou) doesn't taste very good. It's not as impactful as that other stall, but I don't know where that stall moved to now.

Taking the microphone from him, Shiba explained, "Actually, Ku... uh, actually this is Royal Mask's preparation for activating Z-Move."

"Z-Move?" Sato asked.

"That's right. Z-Moves are created by trainers using the power of nature, Z-Force, to enhance a Pokémon's move into a powerful Z-Move."

Trainers wear a Z-Ring adorned with a Z-Crystal on their wrist and resonate through dance. They can then use Z-Moves of the same type as those adorned with the Z-Crystal.

Offensive Z-Moves possess immense power compared to regular moves, but they also lose all positive or negative move effects. Even with Protect active, a full-power Z-Move cannot completely block it.

Shiba explained, then, looking at Xiao Du who seemed hesitant to speak, he added:

"However, because this move is far more powerful than Pokémon moves, it puts a great burden on both the trainer and the Pokémon. Therefore, it can only be used once per battle at most."

Listening to Shiba's detailed explanation, Xiao Du finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this powerful force has limitations; otherwise, it would be too unfair to trainers who honestly train their Pokémon.

After all, if such a huge improvement could be obtained so easily without any constraints, the balance of the entire Pokémon world would probably be broken.

However… Xiao Du couldn’t help but fall into deep thought: something that can greatly enhance the power of a move should not be so unknown, right?

You should know that he has been working as a commentator for many years and has seen all kinds of trainers. Among them are many trainers whose skills have stagnated.

If he heard of something that could greatly enhance one's strength, he was certain that those people would go to any lengths to obtain it.

But he kept these thoughts to himself and didn't say them aloud.

Currently, the Alola region is under lockdown for unknown reasons, preventing outsiders from entering and ordinary citizens from leaving.

Therefore, very few people know about Z-Moves, Z-Rings, and Z-Crystals.

As Dr. Kukui's dance gradually came to a stop, an immense surge of natural power emanated from him and was transmitted to the Incineroar in front of him.

A slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he shouted:

"Blazing Roaring Tiger, Extremely Vicious Leap Crushing Strike!"
