Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 551 Lucario's Complete Victory! Darkor's 4th Pokémon!

Darkrai, relying on his powerful combat instincts, reacted in time to the approaching Aura Missile. His body suddenly transformed into an invisible cloud of black mist, narrowly avoiding the sudden attack at the last second.

The missile grazed the edge of the black fog, about to miss its target.

However, just as Darkrai and Darkrai thought the attack was over, Lucario slowly raised his arm from the smoke and dust, his palm facing the black mist that Darkrai had turned into, with the blue light unique to Aura shimmering slightly in his palm.

The next moment, the wave missile, which had already missed its target, seemed to come alive. It drew an incredible arc in mid-air, turned around on the spot, and roared back towards the black mist that Darkrai had transformed into.

"?!"

Upon seeing this, Dakdo was startled. Although the wave missile's hit rate was indeed quite high and it did have a certain tracking function, such a bizarre turn around on the spot was truly rare.

At this moment, Darkrod recalled Ash's previous battle with Gible, and how that failed "Dragon Swarm" had a similar effect.

It seems this is also a capability of waveguides.

He immediately commanded, "Darkrai, Dark Pulse!"

The black mist quickly solidified, and Darkrai's figure reappeared.

It quickly gathered a wave of evil energy, and a beam of energy composed of countless black and purple energy rings met the pursuing wave missile head-on.

With a deafening roar, the two energies collided violently in mid-air. The evil wave successfully detonated the strange wave missile, turning it into a chaotic flow of energy that dissipated.

However, before Darkdo and Darkrai could even breathe a sigh of relief, another flash of light appeared in the smoke.

Four more condensed wave missiles followed in quick succession, tracing four completely different arcs in the air as they swarmed in from different angles, blocking all of Darkrai's possible evasion routes.

Wow, that's incredibly fast! How can this condensed wave missile be so fast?!

Dakdo was amazed.

Over the years of his travels, he had fought against countless powerful Lucarios, but none of them could unleash such powerful Aura Spheres so quickly and continuously as the one before him.

Despite his sighs, the battle situation did not allow him a moment's hesitation.

Darkrai quickly continued to command, "Darkrai, avoid them! Counter with Dark Pulse!"

A hint of seriousness flashed in Darkrai's single, azure eye. Its ghostly body tumbled and leaped through the air, leaving afterimages as it deftly dodged one whistling wave missile after another.

Even under such dense and tracking attacks, it still managed to spare the energy to release evil ripples from time to time to precisely detonate those unavoidable wave missiles in mid-air.

Although the audience was impressed by Lucario's power, they couldn't help but marvel at the power of legendary Pokémon when they saw Darkrai also put on such a spectacular battle.

Finally, as the last wave missile was detonated by Darkrai's evil wave and dissipated into countless points of light, Darkrai could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He was preparing to command Darkrai to launch a counterattack, but when he glanced around, Darkrai was astonished to find that, in order to dodge the continuous wave missile attacks, Darkrai had now evaded the air and was now very close to the ground.

not good!?

Darkrai instinctively realized that he and Darkrai seemed to have fallen into a trap.

Amidst the swirling smoke and dust, a lithe figure had silently appeared behind Darkrai.

It was Lucario.

Its thick palm had already gently touched Darkrai's body.

"Oh no! Darkrai! Get out of there!" Darkrai's heart pounded with alarm, and he shouted urgently.

Darkrai also sensed the threat from behind. A hint of panic flashed in its azure eyes. It immediately tried to disperse its body into black mist again, hoping to escape.

However, a blinding white light suddenly appeared on Lucario's palm.

"Exert force".

Ash's calm and deep voice rang out at this moment, as if announcing Darkrai's death sentence.

The moment the words fell, an enormous surge of air erupted from the point where Lucario and Darkrai's bodies made contact.

Darkrai felt an irresistible force surge through him, his body completely out of control, and he was instantly sent flying by the powerful force.

Before Darkrai could regain its footing in mid-air, Lucario's body vanished from its spot in an instant.

It was incredibly fast.

Lucario's power when using Extreme Speed ​​is in no way inferior to Darkrope's Entei.

In the blink of an eye, Lucario had caught up with Darkrai, who was flying backwards. A bone club emitting a dark blue light had appeared in his hand, and he delivered a swift and fierce upward thrust to Darkrai, who was still stunned by the force of the blow and unable to dodge.

"Oh!"

The bone club struck Darkrai squarely, sending its body flying higher into the sky.

Suffering repeated heavy blows and excruciating pain, Darkrai was unable to muster the strength to launch an effective counterattack.

It was already unable to move, but Ash and Lucario wouldn't give it any chance to catch its breath.

Lucario's eyes gleamed with determination. It stood firmly on the ground, extending its palm towards Darkrai, which had been blasted into the air, aiming it at the target from afar.

The next moment, two more wave missiles, each brimming with powerful energy, were released in quick succession, like two blue lightning bolts, striking Darkrai, who had nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, with unparalleled precision.

boom!

boom!

Two violent explosions rang out in the air in succession, and Darkrai's body was completely engulfed by the dense smoke of the explosions under the barrage of AoE missiles.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Darkrai's figure emerged, its body still shrouded in the smoke of battle. Its single, azure eye had lost its former luster, and its entire body plummeted straight down to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

With a muffled thud, Darkrai crashed onto the hard ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, completely incapacitated.

The referee strode forward, and after confirming Darkrai's condition, raised his flag high, his voice clearly echoing through the somewhat quiet arena: "Darkrai is unable to fight! Lucario wins!"

Darkrai silently took out a Poké Ball, a red light flashed, and it recalled Darkrai, which had lost its ability to battle.

He looked down at the Poké Ball in his hand, and after a long while, he let out a barely audible sigh.

Darkrai, Entei, Latios...

By this point, he had lost three of his most prized combat assets.

Ash, on the other side, gained such a huge advantage at the cost of only one Pokémon, Abandoned.

Such a casualty ratio was something Dakdo could never have imagined before the match.

What alarmed him even more was that in the battle against Lucario, his Darkrai had been completely suppressed from start to finish, barely having a chance to retaliate. It wasn't just a simple difference in strength; it was a near-total crushing victory.

Darko looked at Ash and Lucario opposite him and knew that he had been forced into a corner. If he could not achieve a decent victory now, there might be unexpected changes later. He couldn't really rely on his trump card to take on five opponents at once, could he? Although Darko felt that it was not impossible.

Dakdo took a deep breath, and the solemnity in his eyes was gradually replaced by a resolute determination. Then he threw out the third Poké Ball.

A flash of light appeared, and a huge Pokémon covered in a lava-like shell appeared on the field.

Its four legs are thick and powerful, its head is covered with a metal mask, its reddish-brown body is covered with brown and orange spots, and its body exudes a suffocatingly hot aura.

Seadrane.

Possessing both fire and steel attributes, it is a formidable opponent.

Ash's gaze fell on Heatran, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Although Lucario is still in top form and its power is certainly no less than that of Heatran, the problem is that Lucario has difficulty countering Heatran, who can launch wide-range attacks. It can be said that Lucario and Heatran are not compatible, and using Lucario to deal with Heatran is really too risky.

However, after carefully considering the remaining Pokémon in his team, Ash was surprised to find that he didn't seem to have any Pokémon that could perfectly counter Heatran.

But if we're talking about Pokémon that can leverage their strengths and maneuver effectively...

"Come back, Lucario," Ash called softly.

Lucario nodded and turned to walk behind Ash without hesitation.

Darkdoll watched as Ash recalled Lucario, but he didn't relax at all. He could guess almost all of Ash's remaining Pokémon, and he also understood that Heatran was a key player in his counterattack against Ash, so he couldn't leave empty-handed.

Under Darkrod's slightly nervous gaze, Ash threw his fourth Poké Ball with a backhand.

A burst of red light erupted in the center of the arena, revealing a powerful Pokémon with a lithe build, covered in blue scales, and possessing enormous wings.

It raised its head and let out a loud dragon roar, the sound waves vibrating through the air, filled with primal and wild power.

Salamence.

Darko breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then he clearly saw that Salamence also had a pendant around its neck that was similar in style to the one worn by Charizard and Lucario before, but with a different crystal color.

It's another Pokémon that can evolve again.

Darko felt a chill run down his spine, but then he made a decision—he absolutely could not give this Salamence any chance to evolve!

Seeing that both Pokémon were in position, the referee immediately raised his flag and swung it down forcefully: "The match begins!"

Almost the instant the referee finished speaking, Darko preemptively issued the command, his voice decisive and urgent: "Sidoran, Lava Storm!"

Upon hearing the sound, Sidson suddenly raised its powerful forelimbs and then brought them down sharply.

It suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a huge vortex-shaped gap quickly formed under the body of the flying dragon.

The next second, countless pillars of lava mixed with scorching rocks shot up from the gap, forming an impenetrable cage of fire that swept towards the Salamence that had just appeared and had not yet had time to react.

This move was extremely swift and had a wide coverage area, almost completely blocking all possible escape routes for Salamence.

However, just as the lava storm was about to engulf Salamence, Ash's eyes remained unusually calm.

An invisible wave of energy surged from his body, traversing spatial distances and forming clear commands directly in Salamence's mind—

Hold on!

"Roar!"

The Salamence roared in mid-air, its body instantly enveloped in green light. A lava storm swept upwards, enveloping the Salamence's entire body, but it couldn't break through the barrier even slightly.

However, the powerful impact of the lava storm still carried the Salamence's body, causing it to tumble and churn in the vortex. Under these circumstances, the Salamence naturally dared not let its guard down. If it relaxed its defenses and withdrew the barrier it was holding, it would be met with the scorching lava mixed with countless rocks.

"Keep using the sharp stones as you go!"

The effects of the lava storm were still ongoing, and Darkrod was unwilling to give Salamence any chance to retaliate, so the order for a second round of attacks was issued.

Below, Heatran opened its massive maw once more, and a new wave of rocks swirled around it. As its body slowly moved, countless sharp stones once again swarmed towards the flying dragon above the lava storm.

The relentless attacks left Ash with absolutely no chance to Mega Evolve Salamence.

However, Ash wasn't idle while Salamence used Protect to block the Lava Storm attack.

During this time, he had already used the power of the aura to analyze the entire lava storm. When Salamence's body was brought to the weakest point of the aura at the center of the lava storm, Ash's voice rang in Salamence's mind again.

"Now! Use Dragon Breath on the weakest point of the waveguide!"

Salamence can naturally see the world through Ash's eyes, and can clearly see the key location that can break the Lava Storm.

The barrier surrounding Salamence vanished in an instant, followed by the intense heat and powerful impact of the lava storm. However, as the powerful energy gathered in Salamence's mouth surged downwards, striking the most vulnerable core of the lava storm, the lava storm that had been relentlessly ravaging Salamence's stamina just a moment ago completely dissipated. Salamence then spread its wings and rapidly rose, dodging the oncoming sharp rock attack.
