Chapter 185: Chapter 185: A True Warrior!
Julian released his Aura and caught a powerful mass of energy on the mountain peak.
The energy was pink and white. Julian could tell it should belong to a Fairy and Fighting-type Pokémon.
And the clouds over the centre of the crater had actually been split apart, leaving behind a long path through the sky.
Not simple at all!
Seeing Julian’s expression, Cynthia asked curiously, "Has the red giant lizard appeared behind us?"
Julian shook his head.
"No. It’s another powerful Pokémon. Its strength may even be slightly greater than your Garchomp’s."
"I can sense that its heart is filled with a desire for battle. But for some reason, it didn’t attack just now."
Cynthia understood the mindset of strong fighters better than anyone.
"It’s probably set its sights on one of the Pokémon in our team, but feels that Pokémon still isn’t strong enough."
"It’s waiting for that Pokémon to grow. Then it can enjoy the battle to its fullest!"
Julian nodded slightly.
"So that’s how it is."
Slashing open a path through the clouds showed that the other party was already somewhat impatient.
Fairy and Fighting type.
The ability to split the clouds with one slash!
Among the Pokémon in the Great Crater of Paldea, the one that best matched those traits...
Was undoubtedly Iron Valiant!
The move it had used just now should be Iron Valiant’s signature move.
Spirit Break!
Its power was so strong that even Julian’s Aura could not clearly see Iron Valiant’s true appearance.
Cynthia was eager to try.
"The Pokémon it has its sights on... could it be my Garchomp?"
Among the Pokémon that had battled just now, the one most likely to have caught Iron Valiant’s attention was...
Gallade!
Iron Valiant possessed physical traits of both Gardevoir and Gallade.
It used a spinning long blade, was skilled in swordsmanship, and had a similar appearance.
That was enough for Iron Valiant to treat Gallade as a worthy opponent.
Gallade’s swordsmanship was indeed extraordinary, but his strength was still not enough.
If he truly had been targeted by Iron Valiant, the situation might not be good.
With Gallade’s personality, if Iron Valiant challenged him, Gallade would definitely not refuse.
But against an opponent like Iron Valiant, Gallade...
Julian’s gaze changed.
No!
They had not even fought yet. How could he, as Gallade’s Trainer, admit defeat?
Precisely because Julian had sensed just how powerful Iron Valiant was...
He and Gallade had to become even stronger before Iron Valiant appeared in front of them!
Then they would face the challenge head-on!
Seeing Julian’s expression shift, Cynthia asked, "Do you know which Pokémon it has its sights on?"
Julian nodded.
"It’s Gallade!"
Hearing Julian’s words, Gallade, who had been walking at the front of the group, stopped and returned to Julian’s side.
"Gallade?"
Julian looked seriously into Gallade’s eyes and reached out his hand.
"Gallade, before it appears, I’ll become stronger together with you!"
Gallade placed his hand on Julian’s and nodded heavily.
"Gallade!"
Cynthia looked eager.
"Then let me and Garchomp be your sparring partners."
Julian shook his head.
"No. I’d rather have Lucario act as the sparring partner."
Cynthia nodded.
So it was a Pokémon that had some similarity to Lucario...
The group continued forward.
Soon, they heard crisp metallic collisions from ahead.
The sound was loud, which meant the Pokémon battling up ahead were quite strong.
Julian smiled slightly.
"Looks like we’ve found Gallade’s sparring partners."
After turning the corner, they saw an open space where two iron Hariyama were throwing punches at each other.
Their fists, however, were huge metal palms, yellow on the inside and grey on the outside.
They floated in the air and were not connected to their bodies.
Curiosity appeared on Cynthia’s face.
"A Hariyama made of steel. Interesting. Its appearance really does resemble a Pokémon created by future technology."
"Since they’re fighting so hard, shall we go mediate?"
Cynthia pointed.
"I’ll take the one on the left. The one on the right is yours."
After saying that, Cynthia charged down the slope with Garchomp.
Julian shook his head and could only bring Gallade along as well.
Cynthia was usually very gentle, but when it came to battle, she seemed like a different person.
The Valkyrie of Sinnoh truly deserved her reputation.
The two Iron Hands locked in combat were directly separated by Garchomp’s swinging fin.
Gallade followed close behind and blocked Iron Hands’s arm with one sword strike.
Then he kicked Iron Hands in the chest, forcing the heavy Iron Hands several steps back.
"To gain greater strength, Gallade, we may need to try clashing head-on with Hariyama."
"Use Bulk Up!"
Iron Hands’s right hand flew out and smashed heavily towards Gallade.
Inner energy circulated, making Gallade’s muscles strong and powerful.
Gallade swung his elbow blade and also used Brick Break.
He stood firm and forcefully received Iron Hands’s Brick Break head-on.
Powerful force surged through Gallade’s body.
"Gallade, Psycho Cut!"
If he fought Iron Valiant, Iron Valiant would definitely use Spirit Break.
Compared to Sacred Sword, Psycho Cut was the true trump card against Iron Valiant.
A purple energy blade condensed around his elbow blade, compressing its power further.
It took on a dangerous colour.
Gallade charged straight into Iron Hands’s chest.
Psycho Cut tore through its chest, and the heavy Iron Hands was sent flying.
After smashing through several rocks, the furious Iron Hands supported itself with its hands and stood up.
It stomped hard, and powerful electricity instantly spread outwards.
The electricity formed a field, covering both Iron Hands and Gallade.
Stimulated by the current, Iron Hands became even stronger.
It used Brick Break again!
"Dodge!"
Gallade tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and shifted left, avoiding Brick Break.
The Brick Break struck the ground, directly smashing out a large pit.
Julian was using Iron Hands as resistance training for Gallade to become stronger.
Not to get beaten up.
Gallade’s body spun, powerful strength filling him.
Gallade took the initiative to use Swords Dance to increase his Attack.
Julian clenched his fist.
"Then clash with it head-on. Psycho Cut!"
Iron Hands retracted its right hand while sending its left hand flying out.
A thin layer of purple energy lightly covered Gallade’s elbow blade.
Gallade squeezed out his potential, making Psycho Cut even more terrifying!
It collided head-on with Iron Hands’s lightning-wrapped fist!
Iron Hands cried out in pain.
Its fist flew back and struck its own chest.
"Gallade, finish it!"
Iron Hands recalled both fists. Its entire body crackled with lightning as it charged towards Gallade.
"Psycho Cut!"
Both elbow blades lit up.
Gallade passed straight by Iron Hands.
Two streaks of purple light burst from Iron Hands’s back.
Then Iron Hands’s heavy body slowly crashed down.
Gallade breathed heavily.
To draw out Psycho Cut to its absolute limit, especially against such a large opponent...
Gallade had consumed almost eighty percent of his strength in that short exchange.
Only then had he been able to defeat Iron Hands in what looked like an effortless manner.
Julian took out the instruments and began collecting Iron Hands’s data.
On the other side, Cynthia had also quickly defeated her Iron Hands.
Looking at the data Julian had collected, Cynthia raised an eyebrow.
"This Iron Hariyama is actually Fighting and Electric type. Julian, are you planning to catch one?"
