So that's it. Inner Focus... Lin Xingchen quickly realized the reason.
Lucario's Inner Focus made its will exceptionally resilient, giving it strong resistance to flinching.
That was why it could break free from Garchomp's murderous aura, enough to intimidate any Professional-level Pokémon.
On the field, Lucario vanished without a trace after Teleporting.
Garchomp's eyes were bloodshot, brimming with savage fury. It had long entered its Outrage state, heat continuously steaming off its body.
Yet despite its extreme rage, it had not lost its reason. It calmly observed its surroundings.
Three seconds later, Garchomp suddenly raised its head toward the blazing sky.
A gigantic Aura Sphere, compressed and spinning at high speed, was descending from above.
The massive Aura Sphere was not particularly fast, but it possessed tracking properties and could not be avoided.
He used Teleport to get into the air... Lin Xingchen's thoughts stirred, and Dragon Tamer Power surged within him.
"—Dragon Claw."
The Dragon Energy around Garchomp suddenly swelled by fifty percent as its sharp claws slashed toward the Aura Sphere.
Riiip—!
The terrifying tearing force of Dragon Claw cleaved through the Aura Sphere with devastating ease, crushing it completely.
Bathed in the exploding Aura energy, currents of air surged around Garchomp's body, shaking away all incoming energy. It abruptly opened its fang-filled jaws.
A purple beam blasted forth, shooting toward Lucario in midair.
—Move: Dragon Breath.
Lucario vanished, and Dragon Breath pierced through its afterimage, soaring into the sky and splitting the clouds.
At the same time, Lucario appeared behind Garchomp, forming an Aura Sphere in each hand before slamming them forward.
In an instant, as though it had eyes on its back, Garchomp swung its Dragon Tail and collided with the Aura Spheres.
—Move: Wide Guard.
Energy exploded. Lucario vanished from the spot with Extreme Speed,
