Luo Mu vs. Cynthia, Reversed Immobilization Technique! (10,000-Word Update, Please Vote!)

"Hidden Power."

Luo Mu carefully turned those two words over in his mind.

He had never expected to hear a term from the wuxia and martial arts novels he had read before transmigrating, even in this world.

But on second thought, it made sense.

Some humans in this world were anything but ordinary.

Not to mention psychics who could turn people into dolls, forcibly empower Psychic Type Pokémon to evolve directly, and even make them devolve afterward.

There were also fighters who could withstand a massive Onix with their bare bodies.

Astrologer-prophet frauds who muttered spells under their breath.

Ten-year-old girls who could fish up Kyogre.

Super Unova Region people who survived at heights of ten thousand meters.

And Super Pallet Town rookies who could force Mewtwo to put up a psychic barrier with one punch.

Not to mention Pippa, whom Luo Mu had personally watched wrestle his energetic herd of Tauros to the ground by herself yesterday.

With so many outrageous people setting the bar, something like "Hidden Power" really did not seem worth making a fuss over.

It was clearly a radiant smile, yet it somehow sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"Miss Cynthia, Lucario, you're incredible!"

"That's it!
