Absurd Machine (Two-Hour Revision)

Champion level truly was the pinnacle of ordinary Pokemon strength.

Even with two Fighting-type Pokemon, the range of destruction they caused was still astonishingly vast.

The ancient castle beneath the ice and snow trembled continuously.

The Wild Pokemon that had originally lived within it hurriedly fled outside with their families.

Pikachu, Wigglytuff, Jynx, Haunter, Sneasel.

There was even a Fire-type Ninetales and her two Vulpix children.

Who knew why they had appeared here.

If not for the sudden battle, these residents' lives far from humanity would surely have been quite peaceful.

"Lucario, Metal Sound!"

"Wow—"

Accompanied by a piercing, deafening noise.

Lucario pressed the spikes on its paws together, releasing white sound waves that surged toward its opponent.

"Awwooo~"

Old Lucario did not take a defensive stance.

It stretched out its neck and raised its head, letting out a long howl toward the sky.

Invisible Energy Fluctuations enveloped its entire body.

Old Lucario's aura suddenly surged several levels.

Forcing itself to take the Metal Sound attack, it dragged its scar-covered body before Lucario while panting heavily.

"Bang—"

Its hands, gleaming with White Light, struck out in alternating blows.

Cynthia's Lucario nearly vanished from sight in an instant.

Only the collapsed wall behind its original position told the tale of what had happened.

"Lucario."

After delivering that blow, Old Lucario could no longer stand steadily. Swaying unsteadily, it dropped to one knee.

The White Mist exhaled with its ragged breaths made its face difficult to see.

"What astonishing willpower."

Tetsuya could not help but sigh.

It would rather suffer severe injuries than unleash a full-force counterattack.

This Old Lucario's fighting style resembled that of a Fighting-type madman who cast life and death aside.

However.

He glanced at Cynthia beside him, whose expression had barely changed and remained as cold as ever.
