The match against Korrina held no surprises.
In the clash between the two Lucario, Korrina and her Lucario could barely fight back.
Mega Latios took down both Kommo-o and Mega Gallade with ease.
Korrina had made progress, though.
At least she controlled Mega Gallade very well.
After the crushing defeat against Li Wei's Lucario,
Korrina's Lucario had completely withdrawn.
Not only that, Lucario had gone missing by the time everyone woke up that morning.
For an ordinary person, finding someone who had disappeared might be difficult.
But for Li Wei's Lucario, it was simple.
In fact, Korrina's Lucario hadn't gone far.
Li Wei's Lucario had wanted to offer some comfort,

Although he wouldn't let his Lucario intervene, Li Wei wasn't about to leave Korrina to fend for herself.
Of course he would watch how she restored Lucario's confidence. Otherwise, what was the point of having him as her teacher?

"Roar~"
Korrina searched for the missing Lucario with Kommo-o, Gallade, Machamp, and her other Pokémon.
Naturally, Lucario heard Korrina, Gallade, and the others calling.
At noon,
the warm sunlight painted the sea
