Chapter 135 The Way of Martial Arts
Heracross, having knocked Little Iron away, did not stop, but circled around and charged at Little Iron again.
Little Iron immediately got up and ran forward with all his might, bursting out with a speed that had never been seen before except when the magnetic field was rotating, almost matching Heracross's speed.
"Jin! (Master!)" Xiao Tie's tone even carried a hint of pleading.
However, Lucario pulled out his bone club from Heracross and smacked the little iron's head, yelling, "Awooo! (Idiot! Charge at me!)"
When Little Iron was being beaten, he tripped over the uneven ground. Even though he was usually good-natured, he got a little angry. His expression changed from friendly to ferocious, just like a normal Metagross, and he clenched his teeth!
Seeing that Little Iron was finally showing some change, Lucario waved to it: "Awoo! (Come on!)"
Enraged, Xiao Tie sprang up and charged directly at Heracross. The sheer size of Heracross combined with the force of the impact caused him to be sent flying a short distance. Xiao Tie quickly got up and charged at Heracross again!
Duang!
The sound of hammering rang out again, and in his haste, Xiao Tie was sent flying back to the ground once more. This time, he didn't get up as quickly because the head-on collisions had left him in excruciating pain all over his body.
He struggled to lift his head, only to see that Heracross had sped up even more!
"Awoo! (Apprentice! Come at Heracross! Charge at me!)" Lucario's voice still didn't stop.
Lucario was adamant; he believed that doing so would improve Iron's performance!
Lucario's voice appeared again, but this time it was in Xiao Tie's mind, because it was a sound transmission through Aura: "Xiao Tie, don't run, don't escape, charge towards Heracross, overcome your fear, overcome your past shortcomings! This is the only way! Jump! Xiao Tie! Jump!"
"Aww! (Little Iron! Jump!)"
"Gold! (Jump!)" Little Iron leaped up, grabbing Heracross's horns with both hands, and then, with the momentum of his whole body, punched Lucario in the face.
“Awoo. (That’s it. If you’re truly passionate about martial arts, you should be able to see the path after you overcome your fear.)” Lucario said with satisfaction, his hands still working.
Raise your hand to deflect Xiao Tie's arm as he swung at you, then use your other hand to slap Xiao Tie's chin.
"Aww. (Look at that glorious path, that glorious path you should follow.)"
Little Iron was knocked backward by Lucario's palm strike.
In a daze, Xiao Tie saw something that seemed to be a pure golden figure.
who is it?
Xiao Tie didn't know.
What is it?
Xiao Tie doesn't know.
But a voice that only Xiao Tie could hear rang out from that figure: "Go, your fists are for fighting. Put down your burdens, don't worry about the difference in strength, and don't care whether what you're doing is meaningful. Give everything to your instincts and believe in yourself."
who is it? !
It is martial arts, the martial arts that Xiao Tie has not yet fully formed. It is a Dao that is not yet complete, born from the combination of magnetic field rotation, alloy war god, and four or five superb skills.
Xiao Tie pondered, "Is this the world after overcoming fear?" He seemed to have experienced it before, sometimes for his older brother, sometimes out of hatred.
And now, I'm being pushed to the limit and have to overcome my own fears.
Despite all that thought, less than a second had actually passed, and Xiao Tie was still in that upward-leaning position.
The next second, with the help of Lucario, Xiaotie tilted to the side in the air, but it was clear that Lucario hadn't used that much force.
Xiao Tie initiated the magnetic field rotation in an almost instinctive manner, still just one horsepower short of reaching 250,000 horsepower, but its operation was infinitely smoother.
Xiao Tie tumbled, but not for long. He swung his fist in the air in a circle, and silver, brown, and yellow energies appeared on his fist at the same time, then merged into one in an instant, turning into pure white.
From then on, the prototype of combo moves that could truly be called self-created skills began to emerge.
How swift this move is! How powerful this momentum is! How terrifying this strike is! Even though it's not perfect yet, its power is still astonishing!
Lucario instinctively raised his hands and crossed them in front of him.
The moment the little iron fist made contact with Lucario, a tremendous force came from Lucario's hand, and for a moment Lucario, who wasn't serious, was locked in a stalemate with the little iron fist!
Just then, Xiao Tie spoke up! "Gold! (Martial God Path!)"
A second force surged from the small iron fist! It was like a bullet being struck by the hammer! Only then was the final power of this strike fully unleashed!
boom!
A tremendous sound came from between Lucario and Iron, the immense power even creating an airburst in mid-air! Lucario was also sent flying backward, its feet touching the ground, but it still slid a long distance before finally coming to a stop by crashing into a wall.
"Gold! (Flowing! Heaven! Quasar! Fist!)" Xiao Tie finished speaking, his fierce expression vanished, and he called it a day! (Bullet Fist + Comet Fist + Earthquake + Arm Hammer)
"Awoo. (I didn't expect that overcoming fear would allow me to unleash my own move.)" Lucario shook his hand; he had actually been broken through the defenses of a Pokémon that was not even a near-Elite Four member.
Sometimes you can't help but marvel at Xiao Tie's extraordinary talent.
The cat leader, who had been watching with great interest from afar, saw that Xiao Tie and the others seemed to have finished. He pressed a button on his hand, and the training ground, which had been ravaged by Heracross, was restored to its original state in a short while.
"Great job, meow! You succeeded so quickly, meow!" The cat leader walked over with a peculiar accent, then put his arm around Xiao Tie's shoulder and handed him a piece of iron, giving off the vibe of a local thug boss.
But beside him, Xiao Tie felt that the steel-type energy in his body was particularly active, which should be due to the cat's hidden ability: Steel Will.
"Gold? (Why can you speak human language too?)" Little Iron was very curious as to why there were so many more elves who could speak human language all of a sudden.
"Meow? Rocket Corporation has human language training courses for cats, meow. You're not a cat, so you can't learn it, meow." The cat leader scratched his head. Didn't they know there were non-wild elves?
"Ross! (Remember to train your strength properly when you get back!)" Heracross said goodbye and left, as Swampert and Dragonite still had training to do.
Lucario walked over from the wall, casually waking up the sleeping Aggron and Bronze Bell: "Awoo. (Let's get down to business. You should know what you just used, right? Also, you should know the meaning and principles of martial arts, right?)"
“Jin. (Hmm, I heard Qi Hao mention it, it seems to be the direction of strengthening combination techniques? As for martial arts... I don't know, I just practice randomly.)” Xiao Tie answered each question one by one.
"Awoo. (It is indeed the direction of strengthening combination moves, and it is also a necessary condition for breaking through to the championship. We are gathered together to help you perfect your combination moves as much as possible.)" Lucario said, white light emanating from his hands.
"Awoo! (And the way of martial arts, the way of martial arts! It requires unwavering determination! That's why I deliberately had Heracross oppress you! Only by completely overcoming your inner fears can you grow faster!)"
"Awoo. (My self-created skill initially mixed a lot of things together, and I extracted the essence little by little before creating it. But the main reason was that my skill proficiency wasn't high enough. You're different; you have so many amazing skills, so I think you can keep adding things to it.)"
"Until you've fully developed this self-created skill, meow!" the cat leader said, and the remaining Steel-type Pokémon all came over.
"We will do our best to guide you, meow."
Xiao Tie understands now; it seems he needs to work even harder from now on!
