The Battle Chateau.
The battle between Li Wei and Siebold had begun.
At Red, Blue, and the others' request, Li Wei started his first livestream, with his Rotom Pokédex filming.
The observant Yellow noticed that Lucario now wore a Lucarionite on one wrist.
It had all started yesterday.
Before Li Wei and Siebold left yesterday,
Siebold made a suggestion to Ikū, the butler.
"Mr. Ikū, would you be willing to lend Li Wei the Lucarionite first?"
Siebold wanted an all-out battle with Li Wei, so naturally, he wanted Lucario to be stronger.
That was Blastoise's wish as well.
Ikū considered it for a long time. "Very well."
Li Wei was famous, after all. He couldn't exactly disappear.
If they lent it to Li Wei now and he defeated Siebold, they could even skip the step of handing over the Lucarionite afterward.
After receiving the Lucarionite yesterday,
Li Wei immediately bought Lucario a dedicated Mega Evolution Battle Band.
But they hadn't attempted Mega Evolution.
Li Wei and Lucario wanted to save their first Mega Evolution for the Battle Chateau, for their battle against Siebold.
As for losing control?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
Lucario had pursued elegance all his life.
There was no chance he would lose control.
Li Wei also trusted Lucario completely.
More accurately, they trusted each other.
The instant the battle began, Li Wei and Siebold pressed their Key Stones simultaneously, activating Mega Evolution.
"Lucario, Mega Evolve!"
At the same time, Siebold raised his Key Stone high.
"Blastoise, Mega Evolve!"
Dazzling blue light radiated from Blastoise's entire body. His frame grew bulkier and heavier, and a third, enormous cannon barrel sprouted from his back.
Mega Blastoise had arrived!
