Dark-type moves naturally harness mental energy, but specifically tap into negative spiritual energy—emotions rooted in pure malice and ill intent.

When these moves embody various forms of malicious intent, their destructive power increases dramatically beyond their base strength.

Night Slash perfectly exemplifies the concept of a "sneak attack," carrying an exceptionally high critical hit ratio that allows it to strike an opponent's vital points with devastating precision.

Assurance represents the cruel art of "pursuit," where the behavior of exploiting an enemy's vulnerability causes malicious intent to skyrocket, effectively doubling the move's damage output when the target has already been weakened.

The subsequent Beat Up move embodies the sinister evil of "overwhelming numbers," with its power scaling directly based on the number of malicious allies supporting the user in battle.

Weavile's carefully orchestrated combination sequence was both decisive and ruthlessly efficient, a testament to Zenia's meticulous pre-battle tactical planning and strategic foresight.

However, during the opening phase of this devastating combo, just as Night Slash was poised to connect with Lucario's exposed form, Roy's voice rang out across the battlefield with unmistakable clarity and confidence.

"Is this truly the extent of your power?"

In the next heartbeat, Zenia's pupils contracted sharply as she stared at the battlefield in complete shock and disbelief.

Weavile's supposedly guaranteed killing move had missed entirely—not even grazing its intended target.

But that wasn't the most crucial or bewildering aspect of what had just transpired.

The real question burning in her mind was: exactly how had Lucario managed to dodge such a perfectly executed attack?

On the battlefield, Lucario's figure had somehow materialized thirty meters away from its original position, but most critically, it hadn't made any visible evasive movements whatsoever that the human eye could detect.

In the precise instant that Weavile's razor-sharp claws were about to make contact, Lucario's entire body had simply vanished from its position, reappearing in the distance instantaneously without any apparent effort or strain.

The phenomenon resembled... it looked exactly like...

Teleport?

Zenia identified the move mentally, her tactical mind racing through possibilities.

But that scenario was absolutely impossible—how could any Lucario possibly learn such an advanced Psychic-type technique?

Indeed, ordinary Lucario specimens had never been capable of mastering Teleport through conventional training methods.

However, ordinary Lucario had also never been exposed to the mystical properties of natural energy or achieved the legendary fusion between Psychic energy and natural power that transcended normal species limitations.

Roy's particular Lucario possessed the Inner Focus ability as its natural trait.

While this ability's most obvious external manifestation prevented flinching from opponent attacks, its essential underlying principle lay in the Pokemon possessing exceptionally resilient mental talents and extraordinary focus capabilities.

This inherent mental fortitude explained precisely why Lucario excelled at executing Psychic-type moves and demonstrated such masterful aura manipulation techniques.

With its naturally superior Psychic talents serving as a foundation, through rigorous training, Lucario had successfully transcended normal species boundaries to comprehend and master Teleport.

Additionally, ordinary Teleport techniques consumed mental energy at an extremely rapid and unsustainable rate during battle conditions.

Except for dedicated Psychic-type specialist Pokemon with natural affinities, most other Pokemon types found this energy consumption prohibitively expensive even after successfully learning the move through extensive training.

However, Teleport that had been sublimated and enhanced through sage arts operated on fundamentally different principles, requiring minimal energy expenditure—for this particular Lucario, executing the move was no more physically demanding than natural breathing.

Observing the confused and visibly astonished blonde girl across the battlefield, Roy didn't possess the poor tactical habit of explaining his strategic principles to opponents during active combat.

In the very next second, he decisively issued his follow-up command with unwavering confidence:

"Aura Sphere—finish this battle!"

Zenia rapidly recovered her composure despite the shocking turn of events and simultaneously ordered her Pokemon with urgent intensity:

"Use Agility immediately!"

With the significant type disadvantage preventing any possibility of direct confrontation, using Agility to dramatically enhance speed, create substantial distance, and desperately seek new tactical opportunities represented the most sensible decision available.

Her specially trained Weavile specialized in executing powerful Dark-type moves along with various status-changing techniques, functioning primarily as an "enhancement" type battler that relied on setup moves.

Like the previously executed Nasty Plot, Agility activated instantaneously with practiced efficiency.

Weavile's movement speed skyrocketed exponentially as it began dodging and circling the battlefield at incredible velocity, creating dozens of distinct afterimages across the entire arena floor.

Even with Aura Sphere's inherent tracking capabilities and natural lock-on properties, the projectile couldn't possibly match Weavile's enhanced speed. Conversely, while Lucario remained focused on controlling and directing the Aura Sphere, Weavile would inevitably find tactical openings to exploit.

Watching the distinctive blue-green energy orb steadily gathering concentrated power in Lucario's right hand, Zenia attempted to anticipate Roy's next strategic decision.

Would the Aura Sphere attack be cancelled at the last moment? Or would they stubbornly follow through with the attack regardless of changing battlefield conditions?

The actual answer proved to be neither of her predicted scenarios.

Lucario's eyes briefly unfocused as it activated Detect, a move that dramatically improved its reflexes and reaction time. Combined with its already formidable mental power, this created a powerful dual enhancement effect. Even professional-level Pokemon movements became clearly visible and predictable.

Much less Weavile's enhanced but still comprehensible speed.

The impressive velocity that Zenia's opponent took such pride in appeared as sluggish as a lumbering Blastoise in Lucario's currently enhanced vision state.

"It will appear at this exact location in the next second," Lucario predicted the enemy's movement pattern with perfect accuracy, then vanished completely.

Simultaneously, Weavile's fur stood on end as intense crisis awareness struck from directly above. It barely managed to look upward in time to see Lucario descending from the sky, holding a fully charged blue-green energy orb.

BOOM!

The devastating Aura Sphere struck Weavile's head at point-blank range with tremendous force, smashing its entire body into the ground with crushing impact. Centered precisely on the point of impact, a massive crater formed in the arena floor.

Roy silently dubbed the innovative technique in his mind: 'This is the Flying Thunder God Technique!'

An Aura Sphere that far exceeded normal class limitations and power scaling.

Exceptional movement speed that defied conventional understanding.

Teleport mastered and executed as naturally as breathing.

Super-enhanced reflexes and dynamic vision provided by the strategic use of Detect.

What had manifested in today's battle was a completely brand-new fighting strategy that seamlessly combined all of Lucario's individual strengths and natural advantages.

The Flying Thunder God Technique—a perfect fusion of speed, power, and tactical precision.

On the battlefield, struck directly in the head by such a powerful point-blank Aura Sphere, combined with double type effectiveness against its Dark typing, Weavile with its naturally poor stamina stat was instantly defeated without possibility of recovery.

The enthusiastically cheering arena suddenly fell completely silent for several tense seconds.

This represented only the first Pokemon defeated in the match, with two formidable opponents still remaining. Numerous spectacular "one-versus-three" comeback victories had occurred throughout tournament history, so the audience wouldn't abandon hope or despair quite yet.

However, Weavile's clean and decisive elimination truly exceeded every spectator's expectations and predictions.

This particular Lucario seemed genuinely powerful—perhaps more dangerous than anyone had initially assessed.

Zenia calmly recalled her defeated Weavile to its Pokeball, and after precisely two seconds of careful consideration, released her second Pokemon onto the battlefield.

Appearing on the field in a flash of red light was the impressive Greninja from yesterday's demonstration match.

Lucario and Greninja faced each other across the arena with grim determination and mutual respect.

"Begin the next round!" the referee announced with official authority.

As soon as the authoritative voice concluded, both Pokemon moved simultaneously with lightning speed.

Lucario attempted to repeat its previous successful tactic, teleporting directly behind the enemy and launching a fully charged Aura Sphere from its raised hand.

But in the next bewildering moment, an absolutely incredible phenomenon occurred that defied logical explanation.

Both Lucario's physical form and the Aura Sphere attack passed completely through Greninja's body, emerging from back to front as if the opponent were merely an illusion, leaving Lucario's back dangerously exposed to counterattack.

Greninja didn't waste this golden opportunity, rapidly gathering an enormous water shuriken in its hand with practiced expertise.

Slash!

Just when Greninja was certain it had achieved a successful hit, Lucario suddenly disappeared from its position entirely.

Greninja observed Lucario, now maintaining a cautious guard at a safe distance, with genuine surprise flashing briefly in its experienced eyes. This represented the first time it had encountered any Pokemon capable of matching its legendary reaction speed.

Under Zenia's intensive training regimen, it had successfully mastered advanced detection techniques and evasion methods.

"Continue the assault," Zenia ordered with decisive authority.

Greninja's powerful legs kicked off together, unexpectedly gathering Flying-type energy to execute Aerial Ace for enhanced aerial mobility and positioning.

It targeted Lucario with a devastating descending Jump Kick attack.

Teleport!

Lucario materialized behind Greninja once again, launching another concentrated Aura Sphere with perfect timing.

Yet another strange "penetration" phenomenon occurred, leaving both trainers puzzled.

Greninja immediately seized this second opportunity with a lightning-fast backhand Water Shuriken, but Lucario's enhanced reflexes allowed it to react and teleport away to safety.

Lucario tried executing a Power-Up Punch in frustrated disbelief, but the mysterious penetration effect persisted without explanation.

Both Pokemon displayed ultra-high-speed combat sequences that ordinary human eyes couldn't possibly follow or comprehend. If either combatant's reaction time or mental concentration decreased even slightly, they would immediately fall into severe tactical disadvantage.

Observing Zenia's perfectly maintained poker face that revealed absolutely no emotions or strategic hints, Roy allowed himself a slight smile of recognition.

"What an genuinely interesting trick you've developed."

Zenia observed Roy with calculated calmness, remaining confident that he couldn't possibly understand the underlying principle behind the bewildering phenomenon.

However, when Roy's next words echoed across the battlefield, her composed expression froze completely in shock.

"Protean ability—that's quite a useful hidden Ability to possess."

"You..." A distinct trace of panic entered Zenia's previously controlled expression.

If this had been absolutely anyone else observing the battle, they would have been completely fooled by the penetration phenomenon, remaining unable to understand why Greninja could repeatedly ignore Lucario's attacks like some sort of supernatural phantom.

Protean represented an extremely rare hidden ability found in virtually no wild Pokemon populations.

Its remarkable effect involved changing the Pokemon's elemental type to perfectly match whatever move it currently used in battle.

Fire Punch instantly transformed the user into Fire-type for optimal effectiveness.

Thunder Punch immediately changed the Pokemon to Electric-type for maximum power.

And so forth with every possible move combination.

Currently, only Kecleon had been officially discovered possessing this extraordinary ability on Earth, appearing perhaps once in every thousand carefully examined specimens.

However, Greninja's probability of naturally possessing Protean was several times lower than even Kecleon's already minuscule odds. Rather than a standard hidden ability, it resembled a genuine genetic mutation—perhaps occurring in one specimen out of every hundred thousand births.

Greninja's hidden Protean ability wasn't even widely known among many experienced local European trainers who specialized in the species.

Much less Roy, who had traveled all the way from the distant Eastern regions for this tournament.

Zenia had systematically exploited this crucial information advantage to achieve countless decisive victories with her Greninja throughout her competitive career.

How could he possibly know such obscure biological information?

Zenia found herself filled with growing doubt and genuine consternation.

Roy lowered his cap brim slightly, surging aura power through their established connection to convey new tactical decisions directly to Lucario's consciousness.

After successfully seeing through the Protean ability's mechanics, the so-called penetration phenomenon was nothing more than an exposed magic trick with a simple explanation.

Whenever Lucario's Aura Sphere or Power-Up Punch approached within striking distance, Greninja would quickly use the move Lick to transform into Ghost-type.

Greninja's naturally long tongue, which wrapped around its neck like a distinctive scarf, provided perfect concealment for using Lick at any critical moment during battle.

Normal-type and Fighting-type moves couldn't possibly hit Ghost-type Pokemon without first using Foresight or similar moves to identify their exact position and negate the type immunity.

During intense high-speed battle sequences, Lucario hadn't noticed the opponent's subtle type changes at all, naturally having no available time to use aura power for executing Foresight.

Additionally, Zenia had strategically urged Greninja to maintain aggressive "rush battle" tactics specifically to prevent Roy and Lucario from having sufficient time to analyze the developing situation.

'A Protean Greninja represents truly incredible luck for any trainer,' Roy mused internally with genuine appreciation.

Simultaneously, on the active battlefield, Lucario received Roy's detailed aura guidance and completely understood the opponent's deceptive tricks.

Before Zenia could possibly adapt or change her established strategy, Lucario instantly unleashed its breakthrough technique with perfect timing!

Thunder Punch!

The electrified fist crackled with brilliant lightning energy, and the sudden move change gave Greninja absolutely no time to switch its elemental type, sending it flying backward with the powerfully electrified strike.

Fortunately for the ninja Pokemon, it had already changed to Ghost-type in advance as a precautionary measure, successfully avoiding the most severe electrical damage.

"Ninja!"

Having its prized Protean ability detected and countered for the very first time in competitive battle, Greninja's mood became intensely serious and focused. Its athletic body soared gracefully through mid-air as its hands rapidly formed intricate seals with practiced precision.

Instantly, dozens of perfect Double Team copies appeared strategically positioned around the entire arena perimeter.

Dozens of identical clones turned in perfect synchronization, simultaneously drawing and throwing their signature shurikens with expert accuracy.

Hundreds of razor-sharp Water Shurikens struck the air, creating powerful surging air currents and visual confusion. Lucario sensed water-based attacks approaching from all possible directions simultaneously. Standing firmly in place with supreme confidence in its enhanced reaction speed, it disappeared just as the countless Water Shurikens were about to make contact!

Lucario's tactical purpose in dodging at the absolute last moment was entirely strategic and calculated.

BOOM!

Water exploded everywhere across the battlefield in a spectacular display.

The resulting spray and mist also effectively obscured Greninja's natural vision and detection abilities.

In the next crucial moment:

"AHHH!"

A miserable cry of pain echoed throughout the arena as several illusory shadows on the field dissipated instantly like morning mist.

All spectator eyes focused intensely on Greninja, which had been decisively slammed into the ground by a perfectly aimed Aura Sphere.

"It's completely over!" Roy snapped his fingers with satisfied finality.

Lucario's mental power surged to maximum capacity, tremendous heat radiating from its entire body as visible steam began forming on its surface from the intense energy buildup.

Close Combat!

Countless fist shadows rained down on the defeated Greninja like a devastating and merciless storm, ensuring complete victory.
