Bewear's arm strength ranked among the top of all currently known Pokémon, so even when it locked into a contest of strength with Lucario, Lucario couldn't immediately overpower it.
There was no obvious advantage at first. However, after about a minute or so, Bewear's power clearly began to wane, while the force in Lucario's arms continued to rise.
Crack, crack—
The ground beneath Bewear's feet began to shatter and sink inch by inch. In the blink of an eye, half its body had sunk into the earth.
The contest of strength ended in complete defeat for Bewear.
Lucario had no intention of pressing the advantage and instead took a few steps back.
With a boom, Bewear leaped out of the ground the next second. It stomped hard, a surge of air erupting as the powerful propulsion pushed its speed to the limit.
Its fist, glowing with a white light, carried surging power. The air around it erupted with a sharp boom, and the pressure it generated, as tangible as a physical force, pressed toward Lucario.
"Luca!"
Lucario remained unmoved, meeting the attack with its own Mega Punch.
The pressure from their fists collided first, forming a white shockwave that spread in all directions. The next instant, their fists collided like meteors.
BOOM!!!
The next second, an overwhelmingly terrifying shockwave erupted from the point of impact between the two, destroying the surrounding ground as if it were tofu.
One kilometer, five kilometers, ten kilometers, thirty kilometers...
The shockwave kept spreading and rampaging outward.
Thanks to Metagross, Julian was well-protected.
Celebi standing on his head was acting like a boxer, tapping its feet lightly on his scalp and throwing punches with both hands while muttering, "Hit it! Smash its face! Go for its legs! Kick its waist! Strike its back!"
"Quiet down, or I'll throw you over there."
Feeling his head being used as a boxing ring, Julian said irritably.
"Oh…"
Though Celebi wasn't happy, it was also afraid that Julian might really do something that heartless, so it obediently sat down on his head.
But it kept muttering under its breath, "Hit it, hit it…"
The shockwave hadn't fully subsided, but the outcome was already clear. After a brief stalemate, with another loud boom, Bewear was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
It crashed through countless trees and rocks before finally skidding to a stop about ten kilometers away.
"Luca!"
Lucario activated Extreme Speed and shot toward Bewear's position.
Metagross also immediately followed, carrying Julian along.
"Huff… huff…"
Bewear was panting heavily. Even though it had only exchanged a few blows with Lucario, each one had been a contest of raw strength.
It didn't know how much power Lucario had used, but it had certainly given its all. Its body felt drained, though this exhaustion would fade with just a short rest.
But before it could even catch its breath, Bewear suddenly heard Lucario's voice nearby.
"Luca!"
Bewear jolted in alarm and looked ahead, only to see a streak of light rushing toward it. The next moment, a tremendous force slammed into its chest.
It happened too fast for it to react.
Once again, it was sent flying over a dozen kilometers away.
"Did Lucario go easy on it? How is it still standing after taking two punches?" Celebi wondered, watching Bewear, which, though battered, still seemed capable of fighting.
"Lucario held back a bit, but it's also related to Bewear's ability," Julian explained.
Bewear's ability was Fluffy, which reduced the power of all contact moves that hit it by half.
And it was precisely because of this ability that Bewear could still stand after being struck twice by Lucario.
Fluffy was particularly effective against Fighting-type Pokémon, as most Fighting-type moves involved physical contact, and this ability directly halved the power of such moves.
If two Pokémon were roughly equal in strength and the opponent happened to be a Fighting-type, then Bewear's chances of winning would easily exceed 70%.
"Luca~"
Lucario looked curiously at Bewear, unaware of its damage-reducing ability. It found it impressive that Bewear could remain standing after taking two of its punches.
While Lucario hadn't used its full strength, it had still unleashed about 70% of its power.
Bewear glared furiously at Lucario. The Ursa's Ring was its territory, where it reigned as the undisputed overlord. It had even encountered a rare opportunity—the Ultimate treasure—that significantly boosted the power of its punches.
Few Pokémon here could withstand even a single blow from it.
In the past, it had always been the one dominating other Pokémon—yet now the tables had turned.
To think that useless little Pokémon actually had such a formidable partner.
Bewear glanced at Julian sitting atop Metagross in the air, then shifted its gaze to Celebi perched on Julian's head.
Contempt, mockery.
Though no words were spoken, Celebi could clearly read the meaning behind Bewear's expression.
Fuming, Celebi leapt up from Julian's head, shouting angrily, "Bastard! Don't go too far! Can't you see the situation? You're the one getting pummeled here!"
"Trash."
Bewear's mouth barely moved, making no sound, but Julian very kindly voiced its inner thoughts.
Noticing Celebi's lack of reaction, he added, "Celebi, it just called you trash."
"That's right, Celebi! I saw its mouth move—it definitely said 'trash'!" Jirachi chimed in helpfully.
"I'm not listening! La la la, Squirtle chanting sutras!"
Celebi covered its ears.
If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't beat Julian, it would definitely have taught this blockhead a lesson.
As for Jirachi, its little buddy—just wait until they got back. It would take away all the pocket money Jirachi had hidden.
