His tone was somewhat affected, but Kaim liked the emphasis he placed on politeness. After all, perhaps the stronger a Trainer was, the more important courtesy became.
"Let's make this a wonderful match."
"Yeah, let's have a battle."
They each gripped their Poké Ball.
"Then, battle for victory! Begin!"
Both competitors threw their balls at the referee's signal.
"Let's go, Lucario!"
"Now it's your turn, Lagrarl!"
Lucario leaped out of the ball and faced the opposing Lagrange.
"Lucario versus Lagrange! Battle, begin!"
"Let's go, Lagrarlji! Earthquake!"
A shock wave shot out from Lagrange, closing in on Lucario.
"Jump to soften the impact. Then fire an Aura Sphere from the air."
Lucario reduced the impact by jumping, immediately gathered energy in midair, and fired an Aura Sphere. It struck Laguraji directly, dealing damage and making him recoil slightly.
Lucario landed and immediately closed in on Lagrarlji.
"Force Palm!"
Lucario slammed into Lagrarlaji's body. Lagrarlaji was sent flying, but even as he flew backward, he regained his balance and began to counterattack.
"Muddy Stream!"
Mud-filled water assailed Lucario. But Lucario remained calm and moved on to the next step.
"Break through at a single point with Aura Sphere."
The Aura Sphere punched a hole through the muddy stream, and Lucario immediately passed through it, closing in on Lagrarlaji.
"Fight!"
Lucario's fist pierced Lagrarlji. I barely managed to plant my feet, but Lagrarlag took heavy damage.
"Wash them away with Torrent! Hydro Pump!"
"Find the angle. You can deflect it depending on the angle. Stone Edge!"
Hydro Pump's power was amplified by Rada's distinctive Torrent ability. It was so powerful that a single hit would immediately bring down Lucario, whose durability had fallen from Struggle's recoil.
Kaim judged that the attack covered too wide an area to dodge, so he deflected it in
