Chapter 408: Match 1, Lucario vs. Infernape

"The final will be a 6v6 all-player battle. The match ends when all of one side's Pokémon lose their ability to fight. Both sides can replace their Pokémon. I declare the match to begin!"

The moment the referee waved the flag, Yulongyan and his opponent threw the Poké Balls in their hands at the same time, and Lucario and Infernape appeared on the field respectively.

Oh yes, it seems that the opponent of Dragon Flame's finals has not been introduced yet. Anyway, according to the commentator, Dragon Flame's opponent is named Takuto, from the Sinnoh region. This is his third year of traveling, and he is very strong.

In previous matches, although there was no crazy three-in-a-row record like Dragonite, the third Pokémon would never be used in a 3v3 battle, and the fifth Pokémon would not be used in a 6v6 battle. In previous years, this was considered a special existence.

The Pokémon used include, but are not limited to, Infernape, Pidgeot, Heracross, Blastoise, Enchantress, Scyther, Gyarados, Lapras, and Rhydon.

It is worth mentioning that Infernape should be Takuto’s initial Pokémon, and its strength is only one step away from the King level. After all, he came from the Sinnoh region. As for the others, they should be Pokémon he captured in the Kanto region.

But to be honest, after traveling in the Kanto region for a year, I was able to capture the Pokémon mentioned above, even one of the three starter Pokémons. It's like being treated like a protagonist!

But in Yu Longyan's eyes, the protagonist? What protagonist? There is actually someone who is more protagonist than me? I am fighting the protagonist!

"Lucario, come and say hello first, wave missile burst!"

As soon as Yulongyan gave the order, a blue ball of light shot out from Lucario's palm, and this was just the beginning. A second later, another wave missile shot out. Lucario stopped only after using three wave missiles.

It’s not that Lucario can’t release the fourth wave of missiles, but if you just want to say hello, three are enough, and there is no need to consume too much energy.

"Come on, Inflammel, use your sonic punch to smash the wave missiles into pieces!" Facing the wave missiles in a line, Takuto didn't take it seriously at all and confidently commanded Inflammel to destroy them.

"Fierce!" Upon hearing that, Infernape rubbed his fists excitedly, exerted a little force with his right foot, and the whole Pokémon turned into a red afterimage. With his quickly swung fists, he shattered the three wave missiles in mid-air into scattered light fragments.

As Infernape landed on the ground, the wave missiles turned into light particles and scattered around him. The scene looked actually quite beautiful for a moment. If it were placed in a gorgeous competition, Yulongyan's score would probably drop a lot.

"It's amazing! Facing Lucario's wave missile attack, Infernape boldly used fighting-type moves to counter the wave missile!" The commentator was so excited that he almost crushed the microphone.

"Oh? Infernape with the Iron Fist attribute? That's something!"

Yu Longyan saw at a glance that Takuto's Infernape had the hidden characteristic Iron Fist, which in the game increased the power of fist-type moves by 20%, which was a very good characteristic for a fighting-type Infernape.

In the Pokémon world, the effects of the Fire and Iron Fist attributes are similar to those in the game, but they more often show which moves Infernape is more talented in.

Inflammaw with the Fierce Fire attribute is naturally more inclined to the fire type, while Inflammaw with the Iron Fist attribute is better at fighting type moves. It is hard to say which one is better between the two, as both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

But for this battle alone, it doesn't matter what Takuto's Infernape is good at, because it can restrain Lucario in terms of attributes anyway...

"Now it's our turn to attack, use Flash Charge!" Takuto gave the order decisively.

"boom!"

Infernape's fists were burning with orange flames, and its knees suddenly bent. At the moment when spider web cracks were created on the ground, a sonic boom-like roar was heard, and Infernape had already flashed in front of Lucario.

The audience at the scene cried out in surprise when they saw this, and Yu Longyan immediately issued an order: "Use your strength to release the force!"

"Lu!" Upon hearing that, Lucario's right palm glowed white, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and accurately grabbed Inflammel's flaming fist. With a slight force, Lucario threw Inflammel out.

After being thrown out, Inflammel did a backflip to create some distance, and stood steadily on the ground, looking up at Lucario. Coincidentally, Lucario also looked at Inflammel, and there was a hint of fear in the eyes of both of them.

"He is indeed a good opponent. In that case, let's speed up. Infernape, charge up your flame attack!" Takuto shouted.

"strong!"

I saw a large orange flame surging from the top of Flame's head, and then spread to Flame's whole body. At the same time, Flame once again exerted force with both feet and rushed towards Lucario.

Facing Infernape rushing towards him, Lucario subconsciously used his strength to relieve the force again. After being thrown out, he did not adjust his body shape and directly attacked Lucario again.

Lucario was able to easily dispel the first few attacks, and even had enough energy to hit Infernape's wrists a few times. But as the number of encounters increased, Lucario began to have a hard time defending, let alone continuing to strike hard.

The effect of Charged Flame Attack in the game is that the speed increases by 1 level each time it is used. Although the power is relatively low, the frequency of use in the game is still very high.

There is no such thing as a level up in reality, but as the duration of the charged flame attack increases, the user's speed will also increase, at least until the endurance limit is reached.

As for the principle of use, it is actually very simple. It is simply to set a fire on the user's body and use the natural physiological reaction to stimulate him to speed up.

Therefore, generally only Fire-type Pokémon can learn this move, which has good effects, high resistance, and is not easily burned. If it is replaced by Pokémon of other attributes, the probability of being burned first and losing combat ability is higher.

Takuto's Infernape was obviously specially trained. Not only could it better endure the burning of flames, it even gathered the flames on its fists. It no longer simply attacked normally like before, but used a new move, the Flame Fist!

It was also from this time that Lucario began to feel more pressure. After all, he was also a steel-type Pokémon. Facing Infernape's flaming fist, he would suffer considerable damage if he was even slightly touched by it.

The damage at one time may not be high, but the accumulated damage is quite deadly, so Lucario lets his own wave force spread like ripples, "staring" at the Infernape whose speed is getting faster and faster, not giving the opponent any chance to take advantage.
