Chapter 378: Ye Xuan and Luo Qingfeng's Delayed Realization
Chadofen Rick, a native-born M Country special agent, was one such observer.
Upon discovering such a matter, he immediately made a phone call to report it.
But in fact.
For such "sensational" news.
Even without reporting, the higher-ups already knew.
Putting down the satellite phone, Chadofen Rick began to repeatedly, frame by frame, observe the live broadcast footage.
It wasn't just him.
Personnel like him, watching the Youth League, were present all over the world.
Sakura Country, M Country, Bear Country... the top echelons of various nations all received reports from below at the first opportunity.
And after they finished reading Huaxia's reports, they all, without exception, showed grave expressions.
"Baka... Huaxia has made such an astonishing discovery again! Such an evolution is simply too frightening! Did you see the stone on that Lucario's neck? Get the Scientific Research Department to investigate it immediately!"
"Investigate!! Investigate, investigate immediately, collect that kind of secret treasure! Such power cannot be monopolized by Huaxia alone!" (M language)
"That mysterious Great Eastern Nation, its development has been accelerating recently..."
"Collect the stones first, then have the research department conduct targeted research!"
...
It wasn't just the rest of the world.
The moment Lucario Mega Evolved, Huaxia's official channels also sprang into action.
Originally, when Lucario had used [Kaioken], Huaxia's research departments had already repeatedly observed that battle.
But ultimately, they hadn't seen any amplification-type secret treasure on Lucario, and furthermore, Hikaru had indeed transmitted Aura power into it.
So, the matter was left unresolved.
But this time, the change had nothing to do with Aura power.
Not only had its life form (base stats) changed, but its strength had also undergone such a massive transformation!
And it was traceable.
The Huaxia Pokémon League, as well as various official big shots, all focused their attention on this match.
Among them was the Vice-Chairman of the Pokémon League—Lance...
And Huaxia's various top research institutes.
Especially top research experts in the field of evolution.
Immediately, no matter how far, they all rushed to Kyoto using their own means of transportation!
In the spectator stands.
Ye Xuan and Lance sat together.
Looking at the astonished Ye Xuan beside him, Lance instantly knew that he also hadn't realized just how useful these collected stones were!
"These stones, didn't you recently ask me to collect them? What, was it Hikaru who requested their collection?"
Ye Xuan nodded with a complicated expression.
Just moments ago, the two of them had already used their phones to instruct their subordinates to intensify efforts to collect Key Stones.
But now, trying to collect more would be difficult...
"This kid... what kind of heaven-defying thing has he cooked up again..."
"Always finding things for me to do..."
Watching the Lucario on stage defeat Scizor, Lance shook his head, then turned and left the spectator stands.
As the Vice-Chairman of the Huaxia Pokémon League, with such an event occurring,
He naturally had to go deal with it...
He used to think the Vice-Chairman's job was quite relaxed.
But as long as a matter was linked to Hikaru, it would make him, the Vice-Chairman, extremely worried...
..
On the stage,
Watching the Scizor, having recovered its stamina, walk towards him.
Watanabe Aoki involuntarily gulped.
He was holding Scizor's Poké Ball in his hand.
But with his reaction speed, trying to recall the now uncontrolled Scizor was simply wishful thinking!
Scizor's eyes glinted with hatred, both eyes now entirely bloodshot crimson.
Its huge pincers scraped together due to the force it exerted.
At this moment, if not for the two or three Metagross in the sky watching below, constantly exerting a suppressive psychic pressure.
Scizor would have already attacked.
Ultimately, it only gave Watanabe Aoki a deep look, then turned and walked out of the arena.
Everyone's gaze darted back and forth between Scizor and Watanabe Aoki until Scizor's figure disappeared.
Subsequently, the officials would naturally not let it parade through the city openly.
Instead, they would ask for its opinion, whether it was willing to wait for the next fated trainer.
However,
A Scizor that had endured such torment, how could it possibly have the mind to find a new trainer?
The officials also respected its choice and found it an abandoned steel city as its habitat.
Of course.
These were all matters for later.
On the current arena, the battle between the two sides was not yet over.
However, this time, the tables had turned.
Just this Lucario, capable of reaching Elite Four level, was enough to leave Watanabe Aoki helpless.
According to the tournament rules, one Pokémon could eliminate a maximum of two Pokémon.
Adding Latias to the equation, this battle, without a doubt, he no longer had any hope of winning.
"Return, Lucario. You've worked hard."
But at this moment,
Hikaru on the opposite side recalled the slightly panting Lucario.
In the previous battle,
Although Lucario hadn't suffered much damage.
But continuously using [Kaioken] to spar with Scizor, as well as Mega Evolution, had been a huge drain on its stamina.
"Contestant Watanabe Aoki, please summon your next Pokémon!"
Above, the commentator, seeing Watanabe Aoki motionless for a long time, couldn't help but urge him.
The latter, as if waking from a dream, somewhat tremblingly took out a new Poké Ball.
"Arbok!"
[Pokémon: Arbok]
[Ability: Pressure]
[Gender: Male]
[Talent: Elite Four]
[Level: 59]
[Moves: Crunch, Bind, Bite, Glare, Sludge Bomb, Coil, Hyper Beam, Poison Sting....]
Undoubtedly, the one that appeared this time was Arbok.
Looking at the Compulsory Training Device on its body, Hikaru pondered for a moment, "Tyranitar, let's give it a try."
"Tyran!"
Following a massive roar, a black, ferocious giant beast, its entire body seemingly encased in rock armor, appeared on the scene.
Its body, over three meters tall, just by tilting its head back, exuded immense pressure.
Although it didn't have the Pressure ability, in the eyes of the audience, the current Tyranitar felt even more imposing!
"Hisss..."
Arbok flicked its crimson forked tongue, staring at its opponent, a wary look on its face.
In its view, this beast was completely different from the opponents it had faced before.
"Roar!"
Tyranitar was clearly excited for its first battle after evolving. As its energy surged, the rocks on the ground began to change.
Layers of sandy mist rose.
The [Sand Stream] ability.
Activated!
Soon, the entire field seemed to be enveloped in a sandstorm.
"Arbok, Coil!"
Different from his previous battle style, this time Watanabe Aoki immediately chose a buffing move.
