Chapter 259 The battle was over from that moment.
While Flame Vortex may not be as lethal as skills like Flamethrower or Flamethrower in terms of single-hit damage, its strategic value is unparalleled once it hits an opponent and is effective.
For Kaoping, a strategist, tactician, and intellectual, the Flame Vortex naturally holds a very high priority in his command.
"Wang!"
Arcanine growled and began running around Lucario, trying to distract Lucario with its speed.
As it ran, a crimson vortex was also spewed out from Arcanine's mouth, heading straight for Lucario's position.
Shouldn't we use the bone club now?
Although Lucario successfully withstood Arcanine's first attack with a variation of Swords Dance, the subsequent Flame Vortex, used while running, was not something that Swords Dance could easily block. As soon as Lucario used Bone Club, Arcanine would immediately use Extreme Speed to flank and counterattack.
Thinking of this, the light reflected in Kaoping's eyes seemed to intensify.
Normally, Ash would have had Lucario use Bone Club for defense, but after the morning's training, Ash and Lucario agreed to make the most of Aura in battle.
"9 o'clock, 6 o'clock, Aoyama missile!"
"RIO!"
A bright blue arc flashed in Lucario's eyes, and a Wave Sphere simultaneously condensed in both of its hands. Following Ash's instructions, Lucario quickly threw the condensed Wave Spheres in those two directions.
"boom!"
With two booming sounds, the scene... or more precisely, the area around Lucario, was instantly covered in a cloud of smoke. From the outside, it was impossible to see what was happening to Lucario in the middle of the smoke. However, the onlookers could see that the flame vortex that Arcanine should have created in a full-scale encirclement seemed to have failed to hit Lucario.
Two wave missiles attacked the location where the flame vortex was most concentrated. After greatly weakening the power of the flame vortex, did the airflow generated by the explosion disperse the remaining power of the flame vortex?
Seeing this, Koping no longer bothered to adjust his glasses. The successive defeats had shaken Koping's original confidence in winning. What troubled him most now was Ash's ability to see through the weaknesses in his skills.
During the Team Battle, he had already guessed that Ash seemed to possess some special power, much like the most well-known psychics.
But Kaoping only had guesses, since he wasn't very familiar with Ash at that time, and as a rival, he couldn't very well ask Ash such a question directly.
"Use the jet flames outside! Monitor the changes in the smoke and dust!"
Faced with the scene already veiled, Koping naturally wouldn't let Arcanine risk its life, and rushed in directly to engage Lucario in close combat.
Another scorching flame broke through the smoke and dust, heading straight for the center of the arena.
The flames pierced through the smoke and dust, but failed to hit Lucario immediately. Just as Arcanine was about to change the direction of its flames, the smoke and dust on the field began to stir again.
"Get out of there!"
Kaoping immediately understood Ash's intention, and then shouted it out loud.
But it was all too late.
First came a bright blue ball of light, which also dispersed the dust and headed towards Arcanine in a completely different direction from Flamethrower. However, the only difference was that Arcanine's Flamethrower missed, while Aura Sphere hit its target.
boom!
Another explosion came from Arcanine.
Arcanine winced in pain and shut its mouth, its body trembling. Although it also wanted to follow Kao Ping's command and retreat from its current position, Ash and Lucario did not give it the chance.
Just as Koppin had initially anticipated, if Lucario used Bone Club to defend against Arcanine's attack, then Lucario would be stuck in a stalemate where it couldn't switch its attack method in a short time.
Conversely, the same applies to Arcanine. If Arcanine fails to hit Lucario immediately after using Flamethrower in the absence of vision, it will also be stuck in a stalemate from which it cannot undo its move.
In a normal battle, whether Arcanine's Flamethrower hits depends on luck. However, against Ash, who can use Aura to assist in battle, Arcanine's tentative Flamethrower is as ridiculous as if it were blindfolded and thought no one could see it.
The outcome of the match was already decided the moment Lucario successfully blocked the Flame Vortex.
"Charge! Use the bone clubs!"
Ash's commands, which had been silent for a short while, finally rang out again at this moment.
