Mega Lucario was seen opening both hands. The two Clawitzer appeared very timely in his palms, as if they were two gigantic hand cannons with enormous muzzles.
Fortunately, the Clawitzer were Pokémon with relatively small bodies; most of their size was concentrated in that cannon-shaped claw. And this was also the most powerful muzzle in Mega Lucario's hands. Their small legs clung firmly to Mega Lucario's arms, and at the points where they were in contact, the power of Aura flowed.
Togekiss also appeared behind Mega Lucario, tightly gripping his back with its feet. The power of Aura also flowed over it, completely merging with Mega Lucario's Aura power.
Lucario's strongest battle form in Cain's ideal: the Warrior of the Future form!
Mega Lucario, two Clawitzer, and a Togekiss. These four Pokémon were all experts at using the power of Aura. Even Cain's Lucario had managed to fully develop his Aura power thanks to the development carried out by Togekiss.
It could be said that they came from the same source.
Added to Cain's intentional training during this period, the power of Aura among them could communicate with one another, and to a certain extent, they could lend it to each other.
Moreover, Pokémon skilled in using the power of Aura already understood the hearts of other Pokémon better to begin with, much more so now that even their Aura power was connected.
The Clawitzer in both hands were the most powerful pulse-type weapons. Thanks to the boost from the Mega Launcher Ability, the efficiency with which Mega Lucario and Clawitzer used the power of Aura was even greater.
Added to the boost of pulse moves such as Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, Heal Pulse, and other similar moves, even against Pokémon of other types, it also possessed a fairly strong restraining effect.
And Togekiss, attached to Mega Lucario's back, seemed to have added a pair of wings to him. When he had originally been at a disadvantage against Flying-type Pokémon, now he would not be so passive. With wings, he would be even more flexible!
Mega Lucario, Warrior of the Future mode!
Cain's Warrior of the Future plan was being shown for the first time today!
The battle also officially began after Mega Lucario fused with those Pokémon.
...
On the other side, Kael, sitting at the entrance of the Dragon's Den, slowly opened his eyes. In his gaze, which had originally been firm and wise, there now flowed a trace of confusion and doubt.
Sitting on the ground, he had already finished reviewing everything Cain had transmitted into his mind.
It had to be said that many of those things almost completely overturned his knowledge about certain matters.
For example, Giratina, the Dragon of the Underworld, used the power of antimatter and controlled the Distortion World. Its goal was to turn the entire Pokémon world into a place similar to the Distortion World, thereby strengthening its own power.
Another example was that, if a person relied on psychic power, and this power was strong enough, they could, like a Pokémon, cross through space, open a small space that only that person could control, and become for a short time the one who dominated that space.
All of these were things Kael had never imagined or known before. It was as if a door belonging to a new world had opened before him.
He awakened from his meditation for two reasons. One was because he had already finished seeing everything. The other was because he had perceived movement inside the Dragon's Den.
Someone was challenging the qualification to enter the temple!
Kael's heart shook. At this moment, inside the Dragon's Den, there were only him and that mysterious man who had entered with him, the one who said he came from another era.
Then there was no doubt: the person challenging the temple could only be him!
But Kael was very clear about what kind of strength those Pokémon guarding the temple possessed. He had tried several times to challenge them, but had not been able to defeat those five powerful Pokémon.
Only his Dragonite could slightly face them. His other Pokémon still had a certain difference in strength, and his total power was not enough to rival them.
Although at that moment he saw that Cain's three Pokémon were very strong, approximately at the level of his Dragonite, they should not be enough to defeat those five Pokémon.
Now Kael had already reacted. The battle between his Dragonite and Cain's Lucario had not been lost because of Dragonite's strength, but because of the knowledge each had about the other's Pokémon. Moreover, although Kael did not want to admit it, his ability to direct battles was inferior to the opponent's.
He summoned Dragonite, who had already recovered seventy to eighty percent, and Kael immediately flew toward the temple.
In his heart, there was a mixture of feelings. He did not know why, but from the bottom of his heart, he vaguely hoped Cain could defeat those five guardian Pokémon. But as the young patriarch of the Drako family, his pride also could not fully accept that fact.
With such complex emotions, Kael appeared as quickly as possible at the place where the temple was located.
And he saw a scene that shocked him even more!
The three Pokémon of Cain's that he had seen before, Gardevoir, Lucario, and Venusaur, had all changed form. Moreover, their strength had also increased to different degrees, completely suppressing the five Pokémon guarding the temple.
They were not only pressuring them. Now, those five guardian Pokémon that seemed invincible before Kael almost had no great resistance under the attacks of these three Pokémon. Their defeat was already decided.
But this still exceeded Kael's definition of that mysterious man.
When this man battled against him, he had not even used all his strength. Moreover, what exactly was that special battle form, that completely new appearance?
