Defeated.
With this result, Sam returned to the players' bench, expecting to be criticized by his teammates, but unexpectedly saw confused and dazed faces.
Especially Takeshi Aihara, who had originally been full of confidence, displayed the most exaggerated expression—one of complete disbelief.
Seeing this, Sam was stunned and finally escaped the tension of battle.
Once again, he deeply realized how unreasonable Roy's Blastoise's existence truly was...
Fisher took a deep breath, abandoning his belief in today's battle outco.
That Roy was a monster entirely.
Absolutely beyond normal theory.
Fisher pushed Takeshi Aihara's shoulder and reminded him: "It's your turn to play."
Takeshi Aihara suddenly awakened.
With Takeshi Aihara's strength, he should have beco Central University's No. 1 position and played as the main force.
However, Takeshi Aihara wasn't interested in such false titles, and before the match, he had thought that if he played in the final round, he might not encounter Roy at all.
In that case, there would be no way to discuss revenge.
Therefore, Takeshi Aihara had voluntarily applied for the No. 2 position.
But he never expected that Capital University wouldn't even get through their own No. 3 position, forcing Roy to play early.
Unfair revenge...
Before the match, Takeshi Aihara had shaken his head regretfully and sighed.
But now, he couldn't help saying: "Fisher, can we change the order of appearance?"
"The rules don't allow position swapping."
"It's not allowed?" Takeshi Aihara looked serious.
"You won't be shaken just because of one Blastoise, will you?" Fisher said speechlessly.
Wanting revenge before the match with such pride, but wilting after seeing one Professional-level Pokemon?
"You don't understand."
Takeshi Aihara gave him a deep look and walked toward the battle platform.
"Four months ago, when I fought against him, Blastoise wasn't even on his main team..."
"!!?"
As soon as those words fell, Fisher, Sam, and others all had their pupils contract, suddenly understanding the implication of what Takeshi Aihara had revealed.
Impossible?
Seeing his old rival take the No. 2 position, Roy wasn't surprised.
It was impossible for Takeshi Aihara to co all this way just for the tournant trophy—his main goal was definitely revenge.
Among all battle outcos, "losing" was the most frustrating and regrettable.
That kind of narrow defeat, where victory was obviously just one step away, would always make the loser feel regret and unwillingness of "if only I had..." at that ti.
Simply put.
Just unconvinced, unable to accept it!
Roy and Takeshi Aihara faced each other across hundreds of ters. With his enhanced Aura power, he could clearly see the determination on Takeshi Aihara's face.
But what surprised Roy was that Takeshi Aihara could actually see him at this distance and displayed fighting spirit toward him.
That distance vision...
Returning his surprise and doubts to the depths of his mind, Roy picked up a Poke Ball.
Then I'll beat you until you're convinced.
In the next second, two Poke Balls were thrown simultaneously.
"Emboar!!"
Emboar's massive body appeared, and the difference from four months ago was that a crimson fla was burning on its neck collar.
Crackling...
Listening carefully, this crimson fla unexpectedly made bursts of explosion-like sounds.
Optimized heterogeneous fla energy.
Roy sent out Lucario.
When the old rivals t, both Emboar and Lucario exuded amazing fighting spirit.
"As expected..." Takeshi Aihara laughed. "You also think there must be a fair fight between Emboar and Lucario, right?"
Roy remained noncommittal.
Unfortunately, Takeshi Aihara guessed wrong.
Roy didn't possess that inexplicable complex.
As long as he entered battle condition, his mind wouldn't have any extra thoughts, and everything would only work toward 'victory.'
This had gradually beco Roy's instinct recently.
This was the case when fighting Zenia. He had ten thousand ways to win that match, yet he chose the psychological tactics with the least effort.
His reason for choosing Lucario was simple.
Under the premise of not performing ga Evolution, only Lucario could achieve a one-versus-three sweep.
"Battle begin!"
The mont the referee's voice fell, the crimson fla on Emboar's collar suddenly exploded, and the crackling explosion sounds beca louder and louder, as if thousands of sparks were detonating.
The sun suddenly beca scorching hot.
The amazingly proficient "Sunny Day" move was ford instantly.
Terrifying heat imdiately perated the entire arena.
This was a deep application of Sunny Day and Heat Crash.
Technique: Fla Aura.
Four months ago, Emboar's fla aura that covered the entire arena after erupting at full strength was now released very easily.
This was all thanks to Emboar's mastery of the Explosive Fire!
Just like 'Hydro Cannon' was exclusive to Water-type starters, Fire-type starters also had an exclusive skill.
Blast Burn.
The fla ford by this move was a fla that contained 'explosion' phenona. It was astonishingly powerful and had equally huge bodily reaction force.
Like Outrage, Blast Burn was an optimization tool in itself.
Emboar combined the exclusive 'Blast Burn' with 'Hidden Power (Electric).'
Using the 'overload reaction' of electricity and fire to re-optimize the 'explosion' power of its own Blast Burn...
The secondary optimization ford the current explosive fla.
It was only one step away from the standard line of 'high-level energy.'
"Flathrower!"
Takeshi Aihara said coldly.
Emboar suddenly opened its mouth wide and shot out a crimson torrent made of explosive flas.
Terrifying heat struck, and Lucario teleported calmly.
After transforming through "Sage Arts," after mastering Teleport which had almost no consumption cost, most long-range moves lost their aning against it.
Seeing this, Emboar was prepared.
The explosive flas suddenly lost control and produced violent explosions.
Under the powerful kinetic energy of the explosion, the flas split into pieces of fire, bombarding in all directions.
A fla teor shower covering the entire field.
Under the powerful kinetic energy of the explosion, each fireball's speed was extrely astonishing, reaching supersonic speeds, and after friction with the air, the fla temperature rose to even higher levels.
With Lucario's poor resistance to fla energy, being hit by any fireball would cause considerable damage.
While taking damage, as long as Lucario paused for a mont due to pain, the monstrous flas would engulf it.
But in the next mont, an incredible scene appeared.
Lucario, who had teleported to the other side, saw the overwhelming fire teor shower, but its expression didn't change at all.
Imdiately.
Lucario moved.
Its dodging speed wasn't fast—compared to its limit speed, it was like casually strolling, as if predicting the landing point and trajectory of each fla, keeping an extrely close distance while 'passing by' each fireball.
The fireballs fell to the ground, and none of the splashing fla tendrils touched Lucario's body.
To limit Lucario's troubleso Teleport and Extre Speed, Takeshi Aihara and Emboar had carefully prepared this "teor shower" strategy for four months.
In their view, even if it couldn't beco a finishing move, it would definitely cause significant damage to Lucario.
But now...
It was cracked by Lucario in an unimaginable way.
"It's a good idea. This trick would definitely have worked against us four months ago, right?"
Roy's voice reached Takeshi Aihara's ears.
"But, you really don't have any advantages."
"Taking us from four months ago as your target—how is this different from looking for a sword where it fell into the river?"
Takeshi Aihara couldn't understand the 'sword in the river' reference, but he could hear what Roy wanted to express, and his ntality was imdiately disturbed.
You know it's only been four months?
Which Trainer could take Pokemon through the accumulation period in four months and make such a dramatic difference?
Lucario hadn't launched an attack, so Takeshi Aihara couldn't judge accurately.
However, whether in terms of deanor or bearing, Lucario seed very different from four months ago.
Combined with Blastoise's performance, it could be speculated that it had also broken through to Professional level.
But...
'Is it really possible to dodge such an extre fla teor shower with pure reaction and calculation power?' Takeshi Aihara analyzed ntally.
The answer was: yes.
His father's Pokemon could easily evade it.
But that was an Elite-level Pokemon.
In terms of ability values of Professional-level Pokemon, this was absolutely impossible to achieve with pure reaction and calculation power.
Even with the famous "Aura techniques" it wouldn't work!
That evasive movent was like Future Sight...
What had happened to this Lucario?
The crowd watched in stunned silence as Lucario continued its impossible dance through the flas, each movent precise and economical. This wasn't just improvent—this was transformation on a level that defied conventional understanding of Pokemon developnt.
In the comntary booth, analysts struggled to explain what they were witnessing. The mathematical precision required for such movent seed beyond what any Pokemon should possess, regardless of training intensity.
Roy stood calmly on his platform, watching Takeshi Aihara's growing confusion with satisfaction. This was exactly what he had intended—to demonstrate that the old rules no longer applied to his team.
The real battle was just beginning.
