My Name of the Spirit Lucario

As soon as the bell rang, the battle began quickly.

Asuhi Teru and Akane took off a Poké Ball from their waist with extremely fast hands.

However, in comparison, Asuka, for whom the idea of ​​attacking first is ingrained in his bones, was able to outstrip Red, who was also known for attacking first. He picked up the Poké Ball faster than the latter and summoned the first Pokémon to fight.

"Come out, Leo!"

Perhaps even Leo was somewhat surprised. In the past, he was always sent out as the last elf to come out, but this time he was entrusted with the important task of leading the charge. Therefore, when he appeared in the white light of summons, he was not fully prepared.

"Let everyone see that the elves of the strongest champion are actually not that scary."

Asuhi Teru whispered behind Leo, and also revealed why he went against his usual practice of letting Leo go out first.

Even though the companions are not ignorant Pokémons, whether they are the Pokémons of champion trainers or legendary beings, they have followed Asuka Zhao across the country and across ancient and modern times over the years and have seen a lot. Logically speaking, no matter what kind of opponent they face, they should be able to maintain a calm mind.

However, this time, it was extremely different. Not only because the opponent was the famous Red in both the human and elf worlds, and the Red elves were already synonymous with legends, but also because the elves of Asuka knew that this was a crucial battle that concerned the survival of the world. If they failed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, under this double psychological pressure, even the most stable Gardevoir couldn't help but feel nervous and uneasy.

Asuhi Teru realized this before the war began.

You have to know that in this kind of top-level elf battle, the slightest fluctuation in state may very likely determine the outcome of a battle.

If the elves go into battle with this kind of unstable mentality, then the legendary elves on the opposite side who have rich combat experience will definitely be able to catch this flaw, and the balance of victory may tilt towards the other side.

It is actually very simple to solve this problem.

That is to send the carefree Leo to the stage and let everyone see that, in fact, "they" are nothing big.

With the example set by the leader, I believe the other elves will be able to calm down and regain their normal mentality.

"You really trust me, then."

Leo complained about his trainer in his heart. Other Pokémons have psychological pressure, but doesn't he have any?

"But..."

He looked at Red, who still hadn't thrown the Poké Ball, his eyes full of eagerness to try.

"This kind of pressure actually makes me excited."

His legs bounced on the spot, which not only activated his muscles, bones and joints, but also performed [High-Speed ​​Movement] to relax his whole body and make it light.

If it were in the game, you would definitely be able to see countless blue lights representing increased speed appearing on Leo's body.

Using the moves first is the advantage of attacking first. Not only that, Leo, who arrives at the battlefield earlier, can still have enough time to prepare and wait for the elves sent by the opponent.

The moment he saw Lucario appear, Red hung the Poké Ball he had picked up at the beginning back on his waist, and then grabbed another Poké Ball. With a light press of his thumb, the sphere, which originally looked like a round bead, instantly expanded to a size that could be held in one hand.

"Go ahead, Charizard!"

Compared to attacking first, the counterattack method lacks the advantage of allowing the elves to prepare, but it does not mean that this method is useless. The biggest advantage is that, as it is now, you can send out elves that can restrain the opponent's elves according to their attributes.

The Bulbasaur that was originally decided to be summoned was put back into the battle queue, because Red knew that the Poison type was completely ineffective against the Steel type, and then he decisively chose the Fire and Flying type Charizard.

Fire restrains Steel, Flying restrains Fighting, and both of Leo's attributes are directly restrained by Charizard. If we talk purely about attribute restraint, it is no exaggeration to say that Charizard is Leo's natural enemy.

Attribute restraint is the most basic and purest point in elf combat.

"Leo, is this possible?"

Since he also has a Charizard, Asuka Teruya knows that the dual attributes of fire and flying will be very difficult for Leo to deal with, so he communicates with the latter through his mind to see if he needs to be replaced.

Although it seems a bit cowardly to change Pokémon right at the beginning of the game, and it will defeat the purpose of letting Leo take the lead, but instead of letting Leo be suppressed by Charizard and waste his energy in vain, it is better to change it back temporarily and save energy to deal with other Pokémon.

But Leo has a different opinion.

"Charizard... wouldn't that be even better? As for how to deal with this kind of Pokémon, I think no one is more familiar with it than me."

Asuka's Charizard, as a Fire-type Pokémon, is also an aggressive and restless guy. The two troublemakers, Eevee and Incubus, often become accomplices in his mischief. Zoroark is too cold-tempered and hardly plays with Charizard, while Gardevoir is gentle and is used to quietly cleaning up Charizard's mess.

Only Leo, who hatched Charizard from a Pokémon egg, had the temper to suppress this often noisy cub.

And in normal competitions, Charizard's first opponent is often Leo.

Therefore, during these farces and training, Leo and Charizard had no idea how many times they had fought. It was the point where as soon as the elf raised his butt, Leo knew what kind of fart the elf was going to release.

Even though the one standing opposite him was not his own cub, Leo said he was very familiar with Charizard.

"Okay, let's fight normally..."

Asuka Teru always respected the ideas of his own elf. Seeing that Leo was unwilling to be replaced, he gave up the idea of ​​replacing the elf.

……

The above seems to have said so much, but in fact it is just a short moment.

When the Charizard (Red) flapped its wings and slowly landed on the battlefield, Leo quickly started.

“【Super Speed】!”

Seizing the initiative certainly does not just mean using tricks first to strengthen yourself. The tactical meaning composed of these four words refers more to determining the rhythm of the entire battle by attacking the opponent which they cannot react to in time.

[Flash of Lightning] This powerful preemptive attack move was once the favorite of Leo and Asuka Teru. Countless opening moves could be used to advance at lightning speed, and then various moves could be connected during the charge to derive countless combat methods.

But when Leo learned the superior alternative move of Lightning Flash, Super Speed, the latter replaced the former and became Leo's favorite.

Unlike the flash of white light that occurs when [Lightning Flash] is activated, the activation of [Super Speed] is truly godly speed, invisible and traceless.

"Swoosh", with only a slight sound, Leo disappeared on the spot.

Red certainly wouldn't just wait foolishly for the opponent's attack. He glanced down and saw no footprints or signs of movement on the ground. He knew it was difficult to judge the direction of Lucario's attack.

"【smokescreen】."

Charizard (Red) puffed out thick black smoke from its nose. The black smoke produced by the internal combustion of its body quickly filled the battlefield.

Thick smoke can block the attacker's vision, greatly reducing the accuracy of their hits. At the same time, the elves performing the moves can use the black smoke to cover themselves and even take the opportunity to reverse the situation from defense to offense.

But for Leo, who has waveguide sensing, any moves that block his vision can be treated as non-existent.

Aiming at the waveguide that was as dazzling as a torch, Leo rushed forward at full speed.

Generally speaking, elves with strong and sturdy bodies are not very fast, while elves that can sprint at high speeds are often slender and thin, so as to effectively reduce air resistance. However, Leo is a rare elf that can take into account the advantages of both.

Just imagine, if a piece of hard steel could hit you at the speed of a shuttle, the damage it would cause would be terrible.

"Bang," Leo focused on his target.

Fortunately, he actually hit something real.
