“Zoroark!
Aerial Ace!!”
Chi Hong temporarily couldn’t find a corresponding type for this ‘Warrior’ attribute, so he could only treat it as a Fighting type for now.
Aerial Ace was a Flying-type move.
If the effect was good, it would mean his deduction was correct.
At this moment, the other pet beast had already been summoned.
Chi Hong was a bit puzzled; this guy’s pet beast summoning speed was too slow, taking over a dozen seconds from start to finish.
In a true life-or-death battle, those dozen seconds were fatal!
Zoroark leaped high into the air and reverted to its original form.
Its claws erupted with light as it unleashed Aerial Ace.
The Iron-Armored Werewolf crossed its arms in front of it to guard.
Aerial Ace struck the arms encased in iron armor, erupting in a shower of sparks!
“It wasn’t super effective, which means…”
“Fighting is Fighting, and Warrior is Warrior.
Is this a type that doesn’t have a correspondence in the Pokémon world?”
“In other words, this is a new type to me.”
Chi Hong was highly concentrated.
It was very obvious; this was going to be a tough fight!
“Humanoid Cat, Dark Assault!”
As the man’s shout rang out, Chi Hong immediately had Zoroark use Protect!
Chi Hong was no stranger to his third pet beast; it was precisely the Humanoid Cat that Old Li had released when he assassinated him earlier.
Except this Humanoid Cat was Level 71!
This Dark Assault was blocked by Zoroark’s Protect.
However, in the next second, the Iron-Armored Werewolf viciously punched Zoroark’s head, sending it flying until it crashed into a streetlamp.
The streetlamp snapped in half.
Zoroark stood up and shook its head.
It began to bare its fangs, the expression on its face turning violent and ferocious.
“Can you still fight?”
Chi Hong ran to Zoroark’s side and asked in a low tone.
Zoroark took a few steps forward.
The first two steps were very unsteady; taking a hit to the head had caused a slight sense of dizziness.
“Awoo!”
Zoroark shook its head, indicating it was fine and could continue fighting.
“I still have a Mightyena, but its level is too low.
Sending it out now would purely be throwing its life away.”
“Challenging opponents at a higher level isn’t done like this either.
After all, the opponent has two of them.”
As a transmigrator, Chi Hong’s mind was very flexible.
Engaging directly upon encountering a strong enemy and immediately fleeing when sensing something was off were both standard operations.
“Zoroark!
Let’s get out of h…”
Just as Chi Hong was preparing to flee, a crisp sound reached his ears.
An Ultra Ball appeared in his hand, and it was already open.
A beam of blue light shot out.
Chi Hong’s eyes widened sharply, then he slightly adjusted his clothes.
“Hm?
A second one?”
“This guy is also an A-Rank?”
“I’ll test the waters first.
If I can’t secure an absolute advantage, I’ll drop it.”
The man pondered briefly, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the newly appeared pet beast.
“Zoroark, return!” Chi Hong recalled Zoroark, preparing to try out his new ‘old partner.’
He took off his jacket.
A bracelet appeared on his wrist, inlaid with an incredibly peculiar stone.
This had genuinely just appeared!
“Roar!!!”
A roar that echoed throughout the park soared into the sky!
[Alpha Lucario: Level 65]
[Nature: Adamant]
[Ability: Justified]
[Moves: Swords Dance, Bullet Punch, Close Combat, Extreme Speed]
[Held Item: Lucarioite]
“Although I still can’t figure out the unlock conditions for the Pokémon right now, it’s my win!”
Chi Hong revealed a smile.
Beside him was a Lucario that was a head taller than him.
That’s right, this Lucario was an Alpha!
Not only was it an Alpha, the unlocked level was also Level 65.
Furthermore, it was truly the one Chi Hong frequently swapped in to use, because it carried a Mega Stone, the Key Stone!
Mimicking Lucario’s posture, Chi Hong crossed his arms.
Standing beside this Lucario, victory was already in his grasp!
“He recalled one?
What is the meaning of this?”
The man activated the fundamental skill of Beast Tamers, Probe, which could detect the aura emitted by the opposing pet beast.
The stronger the aura, the greater its strength!
As if sensing something, Lucario’s aura permeated its entire body, blocking the opponent’s probe.
Being untraceable was something only a very small fraction of pet beasts could achieve, or a skill that an A-Rank Beast Tamer could comprehend could also achieve it.
“He really is an A-Rank!
To be so bold as to send out just one, is he looking down on me that much?”
Naturally, the man attributed the inability to detect the pet beast’s aura to Chi Hong.
He was now absolutely certain: Chi Hong was an A-Rank Beast Tamer!
Right at this moment, Chi Hong gave a light chuckle.
Whenever he thought about what he was going to do next, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.
“Heh…”
He slowly raised the hand wearing the Mega Bracelet and uttered that phrase,
“Lucario, Mega Evolution!!!”
Following Chi Hong’s shout, four beams of golden light emerged from the Mega Bracelet on his wrist.
The radiant light that erupted during this process illuminated both him and Lucario.
These four golden beams connected with the four beams of light extending from within Lucario’s body.
Ultimately, an intense energy enveloped Lucario.
Then, under the jaw-dropping gazes of the man and the young couple in the bushes, its physical form completed its transformation!
Its body grew a bit larger, and its appearance became even more domineering!
“What exactly is that?”
“How did he do it!?”
“How did it evolve?
Why can your pet beast evolve?!”
“On what basis?!!”
After his shock, the man suddenly became hysterical.
His expression contorted as he raised his hand and issued the command, “Kill him!”
The Humanoid Cat and the Iron-Armored Werewolf charged out from the left and right.
As if influenced by their master’s emotions, they became even more ferocious.
“Lucario, Extreme Speed!”
Chi Hong spoke calmly.
An Alpha Pokémon that had undergone Mega Evolution facing ordinary pet beasts with similar levels would have absolutely no surprises!
The lore behind Extreme Speed was that it was guaranteed to strike first.
Here, it manifested as a speed so fast that the naked eye simply couldn’t track it!
Bang!!
Lucario appeared in front of the Iron-Armored Werewolf almost instantaneously.
The Iron-Armored Werewolf’s face still bore that fierce expression as Lucario landed a vicious punch on its chest.
A ‘crack’ rang out.
The iron armor on the Iron-Armored Werewolf’s chest was shattered by a single punch!
“Bullet Punch!” Chi Hong continued to issue commands.
Lucario threw a flurry of punches, the sound of shattering iron armor ringing out endlessly.
Finally, a kick landed on the Iron-Armored Werewolf’s head, sending it flying.
On the other side, the Humanoid Cat’s sharp claws closed in on Chi Hong.
Chi Hong stood rooted to the spot, looking as if he had absolutely no intention of dodging.
When the sharp claws were merely centimeters away from Chi Hong’s face, they could advance no further.
Lucario had returned in an instant and caught its tail.
“Finish it,” Chi Hong spoke calmly.
Lucario violently swung the Humanoid Cat upward.
The Humanoid Cat was swung upside down, and just as its head was about to smash into the ground, Lucario delivered a vicious kick to its head!
The sound of a cracking skull rang out, and the Humanoid Cat was sent hurtling into the distance like a ragdoll!
The battle was resolved in an instant!
Without the slightest bit of mercy!
Faced with this terrifying sight, the man’s expression instantly changed, and he only felt his brain being consumed by terror!
He looked ahead.
That terrifying pet beast had its arms crossed, its red-glowing eyes glaring at him with disdain.
