Brawly said no more. The smile slowly faded from his face, and his expression grew unusually serious.
Smack!
He knocked his fists together in front of his chest, rolled his head, and said,
"I've seen how much you've grown, Yong! You really are an unstoppable wave!"
"But a real man has to ride the waves and conquer the sea! Isn't that right, partner?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure leaped high into the air behind him, flipped, and landed stylishly on the battlefield!
Yong's eyes lit up!
Now that was a familiar face!
The big dog!
Lucario!
He looked like a dog standing upright, with a fierce, imposing face.
Black, ribbonlike appendages framed his eyes. His torso was yellow, his hands and feet black, and the rest of his body blue.
A spike protruded from the back of each hand and from his chest. His upper body was slender, while his lower body was sturdier.
Lucario!
He had been an incredibly popular Pokémon in Yong's previous life!
Cool looks, formidable strength, and a strong sense of justice!
Lucario could detect the aura emitted by everything around him.
By sensing another's aura, he could read their thoughts and movements and understand human language.
That made Lucario one of the Pokémon best suited to partnering with humans!
Because he understood human thoughts, he would only grow close to trainers with upright hearts.
