Pokémon Beyond the Blue

Wu Neng paused. He didn't react much to Riolu's changes. In contrast, the strange abilities he used should be more worthy of caution.

"Longlongyan, you should be able to continue fighting, right?"

Longlongyan hammered his stomach hard with his short claws, telling Wu Neng that he could continue.

"Well, good job... let's use that again - use Earthquake!"

Ikki's hands holding Riolu's backpack clenched tightly: "If it doesn't work, we can just admit defeat. There is no need to continue fighting!"

Ikki was really worried about him, worried that he would be seriously hurt.

Although he yelled loudly, Riolu didn't react to his words.

His purpose is not to prove anything, he just wants to tell Wu Neng: There will be a price to pay for underestimating him!

Soon, the ground began to shake rapidly. Not to mention Riolu, even Wu Neng, Ikki and Xiaozhi standing on the edge of the field began to sway left and right, and Lu Lili almost fell over Ikki's head. It fell down and screamed in dissatisfaction.

"Li~[Riolu, you have to help me teach that annoying weirdo a lesson, making him unable to sleep well."

Riolu also put his claws on the ground. The rapid recovery of physical energy is of course very good, but as long as he is a little negligent, he may repeat the same mistake just now.

In order to avoid the inevitable situation again, Riolu decisively adopted ground tactics and took on Longlongyan's unique move.

"Oh? You don't even hide. It seems you are very confident - then I will finish it quickly!"

This played right into Riolu's hands.From the beginning, Riolu had no intention of using strength to compete. Although the physical ability and strength of elves are much stronger than humans, as Wu Neng said, his current level cannot be compared with his Rumble Rock. , if there is a head-on confrontation, he will be the only one who loses in the end.

Now that he knew some reference values ​​​​of his opponent, Riolu smiled slightly and began to accumulate strength in his limbs, waiting for the moment when Rumble Rock came out.

"Still standing still? It's rare that there are some weird things. Forget it, Longlongyan, defeat him!"

Rumble Rock suddenly emerged from the ground, stretched out its claws to grab Riolu's legs, and tried to drag Riolu into the ground.

Riolu snorted softly, kicked forward, and quickly distanced himself.

"Oh? Has the speed become faster too?"

Although it seems like this, it's actually the opposite. This is Riolu's unique skill: winning not by strength, but by speed.What is shown now is just the tip of the iceberg.

'I'll let you see what I said. If it ends too early, you won't be able to withstand the blow. '

Riolu didn't notice that Wu Neng's eyes hidden under his sunglasses suddenly widened, and his fake beard almost fell off. Fortunately, he put it back in time when no one was around, and looked around to make sure no one noticed before rearranging it. Posture.But Ikki was not that simple anymore. As if he had seen something incredible, he pinched his arm hard to make sure he was not dreaming.

After such a long period of observation, Riolu has mastered the attack method of Rumble Rock - then, it is time to end.

Riolu took advantage of another failed grab at Rumble Rock and instantly flashed directly above Rumble Rock at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Then, under everyone's surprised eyes, he surpassed him with just one hand. The rumble rock, which was more than twice the size, was forcibly lifted from the hole in the ground and raised high above its head.

"What...how is this possible!"

"It's incredible..."

Ikki and Wu Neng sighed at the same time.How did his small body possess so much power?

Riolu smiled contemptuously. He was not laughing at Wu Neng or Longlong Yan. He was laughing at himself: This is obviously his best tactic, why didn't he use it until now?What a fool!

Longlongyan was screaming strangely in the air, maybe it was due to the discomfort caused by gravity?Riolu couldn't care less. Anyway, with Longlongyan's short claws, it was impossible to reach behind him.

Throwing the rumble rock high, Riolu leaned down and waited quietly for it to reach its highest point.

'Now, try my true skills! '

Riolu disappeared instantly from everyone's eyes, and no one could capture his whereabouts.While everyone was looking for traces of Riolu, the rumble rock in the sky suddenly made a sound.

It wasn't a cry, nor was it the sound of wind, but - the harsh and loud sound of broken stones.

"This is impossible, the level is obviously so different!"

Wu Neng lamented that it was too late now, Riolu had no intention of letting Longlong Yan go.

The sound of breaking through the air caused by the rapid movement of objects began to be heard in the venue. The thick rocks on Longlong Rock began to appear cracks one after another, and dust was raised.Riolu's speed continued to increase, and Longlongyan couldn't bear the constant blows and whined in pain.

'As long as you get to the ground... As long as you get to the ground, there will be a turning point. 'Wu Neng thought so.

Indeed, as soon as Longlongyan touches the ground, Wu Neng will definitely make him go underground. If this happens, Riolu will no longer be able to cause harm to it, and Wu Neng must still have a hand.

However, Wu Neng felt despair for the first time: the location of Longlong Rock did not drop due to gravity, but showed signs of continuing to fly upward. .

'what happened?Could it be that this little elf has super powers? '

It's not what Wu Neng thought. Don't say whether Riolu is a super-type or not, now he can't even use his original attribute: fighting-type skills, and Bird can't fully control them.If others knew about this, Riolu would definitely swear never to leave the house for the rest of his life!

Rumble Rock was stranded in the air due to Riolu's dense and fast attacks like raindrops.Riolu will not let Rumble Rock return to the ground. The best way to make a provocative person obedient is to make him dare not mess with you at all.

However, Riolu didn't really mean to hurt Rumble Rock. Anyway, Rumble Rock's outer skin often falls off, and most of his current attacks are absorbed by its outer skin.

The damage to the main body is nothing at all. At most, it is enough to go and see Joey. After all, he did not use his full strength.

"Okay, stop Riolu."

Although he was surprised by Riolu's strength, Ikki still took into account the martial arts that had been silent for a long time.

Realizing that he seemed to have gone too far, Riolu slowed down and jumped back to Ikki.

"..."

"..."

Randomly there was a long silence.

"That...Uncle Wu Neng?" Ikki called tentatively.

Wu Neng looked at Longlongyan, which had lost all mobility on the ground and had one-third of its skin forcibly pulled out, and finally sighed.

"You won, Ikki..."

The perception of martial arts was shattered - despite the huge difference in level, Ikki's elf was only around level [-] at most. He thought he could easily win, but instead he used that incredible item on his opponent. After that, he lost so easily.

Just when Wu Neng was about to say something, there was a sudden sound from the back door of the gym.Wu Neng quickly put the Longlong Rock back into the Poké Ball and walked to Ikki pretending to be nonchalant.

"What just happened here? Why was there such a big movement here just after I left for a while?"

The person who came in was none other than Xiaogang, the current gym owner of Nibi City Gym.

Xiaogang walked down the steps slowly, surveying the damaged ground, and then, next to Ikki, he spotted a familiar figure.

"Um...that person over there, may I ask you to turn around?"

The person in Xiaogang's mouth was none other than Wu Neng.

"Uncle Wu Neng, he is calling you."

Seeing that Wu Neng didn't respond, Ikki reminded him kindly.Although this uncle just lied to himself.

"What! You said his name is Wu Neng?"

Ikki nodded, sensing something was wrong.From such a close distance, Wu Neng and Xiao Gang look a bit alike.

Riolu also came to Ikki, grabbed his hand with his claws, and pulled the incomprehensible Ikki a few steps back.

Riolu didn't have time to worry about the love between father and son. He was still in a state of brilliance. He didn't know where the stone went after he used it. Since Ikki's badge was saved, he had to find a way quickly. Release the current state.

Riolu thought of the worst possibility: that it could not be restored.If this is the case, there will be constant troubles in the future, and it will really be impossible to stay in human society.

But it was such a coincidence, just as Riolu thought, his body once again shone with golden light. A few seconds later, the golden hair returned to its original lake blue, and the stone reappeared in his paws.

'This...can I say it's convenient? '

Seeing that his worries had been resolved and that Ikki was fine, Riolu looked around and found that Ash was missing.

Asked Ikki about the illustrated book, he wrote on it: [Where is Xiaozhi? 】

"He went to find Pikachu, and I don't know where they are now."

[Forget it, let’s go back and rest. 】

Riolu now felt like he was about to collapse to the ground.After obviously consuming so much energy, the recovery speed of this stone could actually keep up with the energy consumed by himself when he became serious. Even he couldn't help but be stunned.

From a normal perspective, if he really carried out such an action, he would probably use up all his energy in just a few dozen seconds.Not only can this stone keep up with Riolu's consumption speed, but it can also barely move. If others know about it, this thing will definitely become a target for robbery.

Ikki also fully agreed with Riolu's proposal. Although Riolu didn't care much, the injuries on his body could not be left alone and had to be dealt with.

"That...this is for you."

Seeing that Ikki was about to leave, Xiaogang quickly left this irresponsible father who even bullied his children, ran to Ikki and handed over the things in his hands.

"This is proof of your victory in the challenge, the gray badge of Nibi Gym. It belongs to you now."

Ikki picked up the badge and felt a little excited.

"Thank you, but...why are there two?"

Looking at Xiaogang's serious and serious expression, Ikki couldn't tell that he was joking.

"This is for Xiaozhi who just failed in the challenge. Although he is not very smart, I am no longer the leader of Nibi Gym, so I reluctantly give it to him as a gift. That kid is really lucky. Please Please pass it on, dad and I have something to do, so we have to leave first."

Ikki was ashamed, and Wu Neng's powerful and imposing image collapsed instantly.

Wu Neng is now following Xiaogang like a child who has made a mistake, almost unable to recognize who is the real father.

Ikki looked at Riolu who was pulling him, as if he was about to fall down at any moment, and finally smiled, and Riolu returned the smile with great difficulty.

"Gray Badge! I got it!"

Ikki raised the badge high and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Riolu was also happy for him, not to mention that he now understood his current strength.

After declaring victory, the two of them prepared to walk towards Wu Neng's home.

As for Xiaozhi, there is definitely no problem with that guy, after all, he is the protagonist.

The wind picked up on the road, and Riolu shivered involuntarily.

'Is the weather getting colder...'
