The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"Mystery Hill's nickname is Little Mystery," Hanako explained.

"Mysterious Hill, use Shadow Sneak Attack."

"The enemy is coming. We must go all out and prepare to fight. Lucario, use close combat to block the attack."

Mimikyu then burrowed underground, transforming into a black shadow and rapidly approaching Lucario.

Lucario then assumed a close-combat stance, ready to engage.

Mimikyu moved incredibly fast, instantly appearing behind Lucario. After all, Shadow Sneak is a priority move with +1 priority.

"Now's the time, Mystic Hill, unleash the Absorption Fist."

"what!"

Mimikyu gathered Fighting-type energy from behind and punched Lucario, a move that proved highly effective.

With a single punch, Lucario, already fragile and weakened by close combat, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Lucario is unable to battle, Mimikyu wins."

Mimikyu's Drain Punch hit! Lucario is defeated!

What a breathtaking speed! Mimikyu is incredibly fast; it has won its first battle at the Alola League Manalo Conference.

In the original anime, when Ash used his Naganadel to fight Professor Kukui's Lucario, he did a lot of ridiculous things.

First, it used the ineffective Poison-type move Sludge Bomb against a Steel-type opponent.

Then it always likes to use the Bug-type move X-Cut, partly because it's not its own type, and partly because Naganadel's Attack stat is much lower than its Special Attack stat.

On the other hand, Lucario has four times the resistance to Bugs, so it doesn't do any damage at all.

Furthermore, when the Jawless Needle Dragon used the Phillips Scissors move, it wasn't actually a cross; it only used one needle. So, that move should actually be called a single-point scissor.

After finally winning, their own health was significantly reduced by the opponent, making it a Pyrrhic victory.

At this point, the Beast buffed Naganadel's Special Attack by one stage, but Ash recalled Naganadel right after the battle with Lucario.

The enhancement effect of the beast was directly canceled out; this self-inflicted wound is truly speechless.

Back to the present.

"You really won! That's amazing!" Mao exclaimed with a smile.

“Keep this in place,” Mamane said.

"Ash has already grasped the rhythm of the battle," Kiawe said.

“Little Riddle has won a great victory,” Hanako said.

"Come back, Lucario, thank you for your hard work."

Ash, you were able to switch your battle strategy instantly based on the real-time battle situation, and your Pokémon responded in a timely manner. Your teamwork was absolutely fantastic!

It was wonderful that you were able to travel and live in the Alola region. I'm so happy to battle you all here!

However, the battle continues, and we are not so easily defeated.

Go forth, Blazing Roaring Tiger.

“Blazing flame!”

"Here comes another one, the strongest partner of the Royal Masked Man, the Blazing Roaring Tiger!"

"Having already demonstrated its formidable strength, what kind of battle will it bring us next?" Shi Kuang asked excitedly.

"Blazing Roaring Tiger, use DD Golden Hook Arm."

“Mimikyuu, use the Absorption Punch.”

Incineroar's fists, brimming with Dark-type energy, spun rapidly as it charged towards Mimikyu.

Mimikyu didn't try to dodge, letting Incineroar punch him.

The Mimikyu's Disguise ability activated, causing its head to droop, reverting from its transformed state to its true form, and losing one-eighth of its maximum HP.

Then, he unleashed a backhand drain punch, slamming it heavily into the Blazing Roaring Tiger. This move was incredibly effective, draining back the one-eighth of health that had been lost, restoring it to full health.

"Wow! Incineroar's DD Golden Hook Arm was blocked by Mimikyu's Disguise ability!" Shi Kuang exclaimed excitedly.

“That masked creature from Mimikyu is quite difficult to deal with,” Kachi said.

“Even if the skill is powerful, it’s useless,” Mao said.

Anyway, Mimikyu is still at full health. Ash just wants to play a tag-team battle, using his current advantage in kills to wear down Professor Kukui's Incineroar's HP as much as possible, so he can win in one fell swoop later.

"Blazing Roaring Tiger, use Abyssal Thrust."

"Mimic Hill, use Shadow Strike to dodge the attack."

Incineroar gathered Dark-type energy in its right palm and thrust it towards Mimikyu.

But Mimikyu was faster, having already transformed into a black shadow and disappeared underground, emerging a second later from the back of Incineroar.

"Now's the time, Mystic Hill, unleash the Absorption Fist."

Mimikyu seized the opportunity to punch Incineroar in the back, a move that proved highly effective.

Although the Incineroar has high durability, it is starting to feel the strain after taking several powerful and effective attacks. Even a creature as strong as it is now struggling to keep up.

"Wow, that's fast! Mimikyu looks like a beam of yellow light," Shi Kuang exclaimed excitedly.

At this point, Dr. Kukui couldn't resist any longer and revealed his Z-Bracelet.

He removed the Blazing Roaring Tiger Z-ring that was originally embedded in it, put it back in his pocket, then took out a Fire Z-ring from his pocket, embedded it in the Z-ring, and shouted,

"Here comes the charge, Blazing Roaring Tiger! Burn brightly! Let the flames of victory engulf the arena!"

Super powerful ultimate flame bomb!!!"

Dr. Kukui and Incineroar simultaneously performed the Fire Z dance moves, activating their Z-Power.

This is a Z-Move from an explosive flame, with a power of 200.

With its STAB power boost, the power reaches 300, but it's a Special Attack move, and Incineroar's Special Attack isn't that high.

"Wow! This is... Dr. Kukui and Incineroar's Z-Move, Super Ultimate Blaze!"

The flames transformed into a gigantic fireball, its imposing presence overwhelming the entire area!

Has Mimikyu reached its end?

"Can it withstand this Z-Move attack?" Shi Kuang asked excitedly.

As the massive fireball in front of Incineroar took shape, and the surrounding temperature rapidly increased, Ash sensed the threat of this attack and immediately pulled out Mimikyu's Poké Ball.

“Come back, Mimikyu, you did a very good job.”

"Fiery Roaring Tiger, I choose you! Get ready to fight!"

“Blazing flame!”

Ash recalled Mimikyu and immediately sent out his Incineroar.

Facing the massive fireball hurtling towards him, Ash's Incineroar showed no fear, simply standing still in a battle stance and unleashing the Z-Move head-on, but the effect was poor.

Boom!

The massive fireball from the super-powerful extreme flare grenade exploded with a deafening roar on the battlefield. The heat wave it emitted was already unbearable for the spectators on the sidelines, which gives you an idea of ​​how high the temperature was at the center of the battlefield.
