Chapter 1454 Shattered Dao Heart
"Huff... hiss..."
"Huff... hiss..."
Super Lucario had never felt that even breathing was such a painful thing.
The seemingly casual punch from the crystallized Maw of Venus not only struck its body, but in a sense, it also touched its soul.
Its muscles began to tremble, and then the tremors spread to all the bones in its body.
clack clack...
The teeth seem to be fighting.
The jarring noise from above, accompanied by the host's shouts, only made it feel irritated. Something inside it was itchy, so itchy that it gradually overwhelmed the physical pain.
What's wrong with me?
Super Lucario was completely bewildered; this feeling was unlike anything he had ever experienced before, far more intense and unbearable than pain.
Then, it found itself lacking the courage to lift its head, the motivation to move forward, and an urgent desire to sit down, to...
escape?
At that moment, Super Lucario felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, but it also suddenly felt that it understood this emotion.
—It's fear, isn't it?
The powerful punch from the crystallized Maw of Venus shattered its fighting spirit. Its unparalleled strength intimidated its mind, shook its resolve, and made it begin to doubt the reason for fighting.
Farfetch'd, Dragonite, and Gengar all fell, having given their all for this battle, yet in the end, they couldn't defeat a single Pokémon from their opponent. The greater its confidence before the battle, the more desperate it became at this moment.
What is the point of continuing the fight?
It seems unnecessary, doesn't it?
Super Lucario realized that he had been awakened by Mawile's punch and stopped stubbornly pursuing a match with a predetermined outcome. He no longer wanted to return to the field to engage in that futile match.
It's fine if it ends like this, since the outcome won't change anyway.
pikachu...
Yes, let's leave it all to it.
With Pikachu's power, it might be able to defeat one of the opponent's Pokémon.
But so what?
Ash was destined to lose. Halfway through the match, when he realized that he couldn't defeat his opponent in a three-on-one situation, the Masters 8 finals were already over.
It felt ashamed of its dejected state, dared not look at Ash and Pikachu, and could not accept that it had completely lost its fighting spirit after using its precious Mega Evolution.
Super Lucario was filled with frustration, constantly telling itself that it had done enough, and that the outcome would have been the same no matter who came against such an opponent.
At least I'm still awake.
That's right.
Sit down.
Don't go back.
Super Lucario let out a low growl, its ears trembled slightly, and its vision gradually blurred, as if it were being covered by something.
Then, painfully and slowly, it took a small step forward.
"Waaah..."
Sit down, let's end this. There's no point in continuing the fight.
Super Lucario thought a lot and came up with countless reasons to give up, but it still took heavy steps and approached the competition venue step by step.
Until two fists suddenly appeared in my blurry vision.
It strained to raise its head, and only at this moment did everything in its eyes truly become clear, allowing it to see the two pairs of eyes so close to it.
Welcome back!
"Pickup!"
Ash and Pikachu didn't say anything extra; they simply gave it a firm fist with resolute smiles.
Despite the pain and exhaustion, Super Lucario staggered and shakily bumped fists with the two.
A deep blue waveguide enveloped its entire body.
Why did you come back?
Even though they had thought it through clearly, knowing that this was a match with no fixed outcome, and that they couldn't blame anyone else, they simply collapsed and handed everything over to Pikachu.
How great.
"Awoo."
Mega Lucario looked up at the crystallized Mawile, the sunlight enveloping its body and shining brightly on the broken ground, making it seem like an angel looking down on the miserable world.
At this moment, the so-called "fear" transformed into uncontrollable anger, causing the waveguide to surge like a tide.
reason?
What other reason could there be besides self-respect?!
"Ow!!"
Super Lucario roared, its waveguide transforming from ethereal radiance into raging flames that enveloped its entire body.
Rolling air currents emanated from its body, ruffling its fur and giving it an even stronger sense of oppression!
The audience and the host gasped in surprise.
Ash smiled and said, "That's right, Lucario, my feelings for you are the same."
The fear that Super Lucario understands is actually resentment—resentment at its own powerlessness and resentment at its inevitable end.
It didn't want to face such an ending, didn't want to see its companions' sacrifices go to waste, and even though it was completely impossible to fight the Pokémon on the other side, its subconscious made it take the first step.
The ever-flowing waveguide has already proven its determination and served as unwavering proof.
There was no loss.
As long as I'm still standing on the field, I'm absolutely not defeated!
For the first time since being born from the egg, Mega Lucario has been aroused with emotions that are difficult for even itself to control.
The desire for victory, the shame of his own weakness, and the anger towards the enemy deeply stimulated this young and sensitive heart, and also caused the power of the waveguide to expand in an unprecedented and desperate way.
You don't need a reason to win!
Super Lucario took a deep breath and, without hesitation, raised its arms to face the Mawile, whose pink glow had already accumulated and whose fist light illuminated the sky.
"Wave missile".
The pure power, like a vortex, absorbed everything around it, gathering light and flames in a whirlwind that blurred vision, forming a bright blue ball of light in its palm.
next moment.
The light cluster swelled.
Furthermore, it continues to rise significantly!
In the blink of an eye, Super Lucario had already condensed an Aura Sphere far larger than itself, large enough to completely contain Mawile as it charged downwards.
But unlike any of the wave missiles it had been preparing before, the wave missile it was holding at this moment was a deep blue, almost black color, with a terrifying aura of destruction brewing within it, and the dust on the ground seemed to be drawn in, constantly merging into it.
It's practically like a miniature black hole.
"Ow."
Super Lucario's eyes were exceptionally calm, as if it had attained enlightenment, as it gently but firmly pushed the Aura Sphere forward.
Meet the unstoppable punch from the crystallized big-mouthed baby.
The audience on all sides held their breath at that moment, including the engineers who came to stabilize the protective device.
Then, blinding light engulfed the arena.
There was no sound of explosions, no roar of colliding energy, not even the clamor on either side. The thing called sound, along with sight, had been taken away, leaving only nothingness.
Nothingness, nothingness.
Many people even forget to breathe until the ground beneath them begins to vibrate, forcing their buttocks off the seat, only to fall back down under the influence of gravity, and this process continues to repeat.
There was no sign of the protective device activating, but another light appeared, shielding the stands from the towering beam of light that enveloped the arena, emitting a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
Outside the arena, most of the residents of Gongmen City subconsciously felt the sky suddenly darken. When they turned their heads, they caught a glimpse of the pure white pillar of light shooting straight into the sky, as well as the five divine pillars that were releasing power around the pillar of light. They were stunned on the spot.
It felt as if I had witnessed the moment of the nuclear explosion.
More than ten seconds passed before the beam of light dimmed.
Residents watching the live stream looked back at their TV, computer, and mobile phone screens, but all they could see was a blank white screen.
"This……"
"Is this the power of Pokémon?"
The live stream chat became sparse, everyone was absorbed in the moment, and the chat only started to fill up again when viewers began to ask about what was happening.
Inside the arena.
The host exclaimed in surprise, "Lucario's final Aura Sphere clashed violently with Mawile's playful antics! What was the outcome?"
The lingering dust that enveloped the stadium was making people's hearts itch.
In an unprecedented silence, everyone finally saw what was happening inside the stadium.
The originally sunken field is now unusually flat, if one can ignore the trainer seats on both sides which are significantly higher.
Lucario and Mawile are positioned on either side, both remaining standing.
The difference is that Lucario's Mega Evolution has been deactivated, while Mawile's Celestialization is still ongoing, with its dazzling Celestial Crown shining brightly.
"Tsk tsk".
It slowly bowed, gracefully and ladylike, to pay homage to Lucario.
A deafening roar of cheers erupted, instantly filling the eerily quiet arena and bringing back the frenzied atmosphere.
Deng Pei raised his hand: "Lucario is unable to battle, Mawile wins."
Deng.
One of the lights on the big screen that belonged to Ash went out again.
The host lamented, "What a pity! Lucario's burst of energy just now was extraordinary! If only it had a little more stamina..."
This statement has been agreed upon by many people.
In the audience, Piplup and other Pokémon dressed in support outfits were in tears. Their sensitivity to emotions was beyond that of ordinary people, and they had already sensed Lucario's emotions through its waveguide.
Therefore, I feel especially sorry for it.
Serena was filled with worry, fearing that Lucario's defeat would affect Ash.
Xiaoxia laughed and said, "It's okay! Xiaozhi won't be defeated so easily!"
She had traveled with Ash the longest and knew very well that this big boy had only been sullen since his debut battle at the Indigo League, when Charizard avoided the battle.
No one in the world is stronger than Ash!
Inside the lounge.
Leon felt the same way about Lucario, and turned to look at Cynthia, only to be surprised to find her gently wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "Cynthia..."
"Sorry, I also have a Lucario, so..."
Cynthia's sensitivity to auras is no less than Ash's; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to easily teach her Lucario the new Z-type Mega Evolution.
As long as she has the idea and studies it, she can fully master the power of waveguides.
The aura transmitted by Ash's Lucario truly moved her, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Actually, she's not the only one like this.
The large group of Pokémon that Anxin'er had entrusted to take care of in the indoor cypress wood could mostly sense Lucario's feelings.
Despite being on opposing sides, it doesn't prevent them from empathizing with their adversaries.
Even the Calyrex above the Colosseum applauded Lucario and praised the five Titans for their quick reaction.
It was ready to defend itself, but the five divine pillars moved even faster than expected.
Ok.
Perhaps it was placed here for security purposes?
The noise inside and outside the venue spread widely.
However, it did not affect Xiao Zhi inside.
He raised his hand and pulled the unconscious Lucario back, saying softly, "You did a great job, Lucario! Your aura has been clearly transmitted!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu also let out a clear cry.
As the other end of the chain of emotions, Ash knew all too well the inner turmoil of Mega Lucario, but he didn't dare to break it.
He believed in his Pokémon, in the strongest and most resilient Lucario, that it would not be defeated by any negative emotions. As long as the aura didn't go out, it would definitely persevere!
Yes.
Not reconciled.
This situation, where defeat is inevitable, is truly frustrating.
But that is precisely why we must continue to fight, turning all our resentment into strength to defeat the enemy.
Looking back on my years of travel experience, similar situations have been commonplace.
so what?
Their reason for being in the finals of the eight masters is to continue fighting and wait for the day when victory will come.
Ash tilted his head back, took a deep breath, then turned to look at Pikachu and smiled.
They were the original partners, and they will rely on each other in this final moment. No matter how strong the opponent is, they cannot shake their hearts.
"Pikachu!"
"Skin!"
"Get ready! It's our turn to perform!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu looked back at the cypress tree opposite it, its eyes filled with high spirits, carrying the last hope of its companions.
The final, most important part is about to begin!
The host shouted, "Ash has sent out his last Pokémon! Will Kashiwagi switch?"
Amidst the echoing cheers from the stadium, the audience turned their attention to Kashiwagi on the other side.
He opened his mouth slightly.
"Passing the baton."
next moment.
The crystallized Maw of Babes burst forth with dazzling light, which gathered in mid-air to form a radiant halo.
Immediately afterwards, the crystallized Mawile flew into the Poké Ball in Kashiwagi's hand, and another Poké Ball was activated.
boom!
Boom!
Two sounds followed, one soft and one loud.
The earth, plowed by the shockwave, trembled slightly, supporting the body that shimmered silver in the sunlight.
The halo suspended in mid-air disappeared into its body, transforming into a surging orange-red light.
Countless people in the audience held their breath.
"The abilities of the Big Mouth Baby have all been passed on to Bosscodora through the baton!" the host shouted.
His voice had a certain impact, making many people in the audience feel an overwhelming pressure.
Did Aggron inherit Mawile's enhancements?
Countless people gasped, subconsciously recalling the power-up moves that Mawile had used.
A sword dance, an iron wall...
Plus an extra booster punch!
Multiple enhancements created its terrifying suppressive power, which could even neutralize Super Lucario's final Aura Sphere.
Now, it has been inherited by Boscodora?
For the first time, the audience experienced a clear sense of despair and deadly pressure!
