C39 - Lucas vs Steven (Part 3)

BOOM!

Steven took advantage of the situation and gave a command.

"Buddy, maintain your cover, use Flash Cannon!"

The dust from the explosion became clearer. Metang revealed charging a flash cannon behind the shield he created earlier. The [Flash Cannon] released with [Protect] move effect ended.

"Me~! tang!"

BANG!

"Dodge!" Lucas's immediate command, Riolu saw Metang's attack. He stepped back while bridging his body and dodged Metang's attack by a small margin. (A/N: Riolu needs eyeglasses!)

Flash Cannon missed Riolu and exploded behind him!

BOOM!

Steven and the Referee were shocked to see how Riolu dodge Metang's surprised attack. On the other hand, Lucas felt satisfaction after he saw Riolu's micro movement!

Riolu's micro movements were developed by mastering his senses and reaction time with or without using his [Detect]. He also let Riolu develop his reaction time by tempering his senses and reaction time by disabling his other senses with big sis help.

"Husk! Vacuum Wave!"

Riolu heard his trainer's counter command, he made a quick backflip! Upon landing he punched the air, releasing a bullet size energy continuously.

"Ri~! Ri~! Ri~!" (Die~! Die~! Die~!)

"Tsk~! Buddy! Tank him use Miracle eye and bullet punch." Steven made a quick command. He can't let Lucas' Riolu take control of the arena and uses his trump card, Miracle Eye!

"Tsk!" Lucas clicked his tongue, he didn't expect his opponent to make an annoying move! It was known that the [Miracle Eye] is a rare among the Psychic Moves and increasing its proficiency is way harder than waking up the sleeping Snorlax.

"Husk! counter him with Shadow Ball."

"Rio~!!"

Riolu punches the air releasing his Shadow Ball and counters Metang's bullet punch. Both moves collide in the center of the arena and become an explosion leaving behind some dust and smoke!

(Husk! Agility and Shadow Ball.)

Riolu heard his trainer's telepathy and charged forward. He has a single thought to win the battle for his family and for himself! He knew if he was defeated today, he couldn't imagine his future opponent!

"RIO~!!"

Riolu charged forward using the smoke from the explosion as camouflage! Steven soon discovered the anomaly and made a command.

"Buddy! use Protect and Confusion."

"Me~!! Tang!"

Metang created a round shield on his front and used a small amount of debris from the explosion. He manipulated the debris and started to float!

Using the [Miracle Eye] Metang saw Riolu inside the smoke and released a volley of debris in his direction.

Riolu felt Metang's Psychic energy and illusionary chain started to bind him! He screamed with all his might, his aura started to change with his speed becoming faster and sharper while the Shadow Ball on his hands became a sharp claw.

"GO!!" Lucas shouted in excitement and Lopunny cheered for him! Her little lover becoming more domineering made her more excited.

RIO!

BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!

Riolu used the debris as the foothold and leaped to another debris with his speed becoming faster leaving behind some afterimage! Metang was caught unprepared from Riolu's speed and started to bombard him with the remaining debris, even controlling the debris in the ground!

Riolu saw the debris keep following and used his new comprehend move [Shadow Claw]. He used his moves and demolished every debris on his sight!

"Buddy! Scary Face." Steven made a command and Metang heard his trainer's voice. He growled and used his scary face!

ME~ TANG!

(Husk! close your eyes and spread your aura.)

Riolu immediately closed his eyes and used to spread his Aura on the ground. Steven was surprised at his discovery, Riolu's speed didn't slow down, rather his speed became faster and sharper!

"Go!! Cut him with Shadow Claw."

Riio~!!

Riolu used the floating debris to travel faster! As he reached the last debris, he kicked the debris and launched himself like a bullet with his momentum!

"Metang! go all out, smash him, Zen headbutt."

Metang ended his Protect and charge toward Riolu with his Agility affecting his body becoming lighter!

He gathered a pure Psychic Energy on his head, Riolu blocked headbutt with his Shadow Claw! Using the opportunity presented to him, using the shadow claw on his right hand, he injured Metang's face!

ME~!!

Metang groaned in pain and retreated while covering his face. Lucas saw an opportunity and let Riolu continue his attack!

"Go!!"

Steven saw Lucas make another attack, he smirked and made a counter command after he saw Riolu was in close range.

"Flash Cannon!"

"Me~tang!"

BANG!!

Riolu saw Metang's surprised attack and blocked it! Unfortunately Metang's attack hit him hard, he suffered some injury. His concentration became unstable, after receiving Metang's point blank attack.

He was thrown away, but he flipped his injured body and stood up! He felt his both arms were numb. The duo staring at each other in vigilance, they both know the match will end in a single attack.

"Husk! Let's end this Shadow Claw."

"Buddy, Keep it up Thunder Punch!"

Both Pokemon looked at each other and immediately used their moves with the remaining effect of agility! They moved faster and passed each other leaving behind a small crack in the ground.

Riolu groaned, he was affected with electric energy and screamed! Metang on other hand became unstable and fell to the ground first.

BANG!

"METANG FAINTED! RIOLU--!"

"Ri---" Riolu screamed with all his might before collapsing.

Riolu fainted.
