Chapter 442 Lucario: This thing is much better than my fists!
"Luca————"
Holding the two broken swords that were constantly emitting black energy and looked very strange, Lucario's face showed a look of surprise.
So, the big guy from earlier was actually the thing in my hand?
No wonder it recovers quickly no matter how much damage it suffers, as if it has inexhaustible stamina, leaving me wondering how to deal with it.
However, it seems I did manage to do it in the end.
"Lucario, give it to me."
Seeing that the battle was over, Qingyu strode forward and shouted at Lucario.
Even if its main body is temporarily controlled, the Calamity Treasure seems to continuously gather power, attempting to revert to its Pokémon form.
Therefore, this is where your major comes in.
"Luca!"
Lucario nodded, handed the broken sword to the trainer, and then casually trampled down the snowdrifts that had gathered around, interfering with Leopard's attempt to reassemble its body.
After Qingyu received the two broken swords emanating black energy, he immediately felt an extremely cold sensation in his hands, and within seconds he felt as if he was about to lose consciousness.
Fortunately, he had the experience of the last battle against Gu Jianwo, so he immediately focused his attention on the broken sword in his hand.
Sure enough, a line of small print flashed before my eyes.
【The Sword of Calamity (???): A priceless treasure passed down through generations in the East, it transformed into a Pokémon of Calamity, inherently filled with malice, after being exposed to too much negative emotion from humans.】
After recognizing the weapon, before his hands went numb from the cold, Qingyu closed his eyes without hesitation, focused his mind on the mission interface, and submitted the Sword of Calamity.
In an instant, the cold touch on my hand disappeared, and the system text changed.
[Quest item detected: Sword of Calamity.]
[Quest items successfully uploaded.]
The hidden quest "True Legendary Path" has been updated.
[Current Mission: Defeat and purify the four Cursed Treasures to reveal the true nature of the mysterious artifacts from the East. (Current Progress 2/4)]
[Reward: 1 specified item, being distributed in progress]
[Reward: Sword of Calamity (Purified *1)]
Suddenly feeling a weight on her arm, Qingyu instinctively gripped it tighter.
When he opened his eyes again, the longsword that had been broken in two was now brand new, and the black aura emanating from it had disappeared, giving it only a solemn and serious feel.
Since it's a sword from the East, it's probably quite famous.
[Sword of Calamity (Purified): A supreme treasure from the Eastern Lands three thousand years ago, the blade is inscribed with the words "Victory over Evil".]
[When Ou Yezi forged a sword for King Helü, he said, "Every time I forge a sword, I forge an evil one; therefore, this sword is named Shengxie (Victorious Evil)."]
As Qingyu pondered this, she stared at the sword for a few more seconds.
Until two lines of small text reappeared before my eyes.
Just like last time, it was a treasure with a story behind it—
Qingyu wasn't as shocked this time, after all, Gu Jianwo had set an example once.
After thinking for a moment, he simply tossed the sword to Lucario.
"Why don't you try it and see if it works?"
The effect of the Blade of Calamity is to reduce the defense of the entire field, making it more suitable for physical attackers.
And the physical attacker in their own team—
Besides Lucario, there are only Deviljho and Salamence.
The Evil Lan already has its own thorny vine club, and weapons derived from its body's vines are not even considered props. In addition, its props are basically locked into masks, so it naturally cannot carry a sword.
As for Salamence, having swallowed the Mega Stone freed up an item slot, but the question is, how do you use it?
Could it be that he really carries the sword in his mouth, just like Zacian?
It just feels kind of dirty.
Therefore, it's most suitable to give it to Lucario, as it can be seen as a second way of fighting besides Mega Evolution.
"Luca?"
Lucario instinctively took the sword.
It had no idea how the trainer had managed to do it. The two broken swords disappeared in an instant and then reverted to a single piece, and the malice emanating from them vanished completely, leaving no trace of the "Treasure of Calamity".
Although I don't understand it, since it's the trainer's idea, I'll give it a try for now.
"Luca!!"
Lucario raised his sword with both hands, exerted all his strength, and swung it forward.
Perhaps because the "Sword of Calamity" itself has the attribute of ice, it actually unleashed a sword aura imbued with ice attribute energy.
What kind of strange prop is this?
Even though he couldn't understand it, Lucario was clearly interested and soon began to wield the sword skillfully. He could even use the aura energy in his body to resonate with the sword and increase the power output of the sword energy.
"Luca!"
Lucario's face quickly broke into an excited smile.
This thing seems to work better than fists, doesn't it?
Not only can it launch ranged attacks, but it can also change its moves to ice attributes, making it almost impossible for the opponent to expect it.
"Is it really that effective?"
Qingyu blinked.
He recalled the previous Calamity Notes, which seemed to have undergone no special changes in the hands of his beloved sister.
Is it simply because Lucario and it are a good match?
Qingyu subconsciously glanced at it a few more times, and then more information about the Sword of Calamity appeared before her eyes once again.
【Sword of Calamity (Purified)】
Once the malice disappeared, the Eastern Treasure, restored to its original state, transformed once more into a powerful divine weapon.
[When this item is equipped, the "Sword of Calamity" effect is automatically triggered, reducing the defense of nearby creatures.]
When used by a human or Pokémon, the move "Holy Sword" unleashed through this weapon automatically becomes Ice-type, and its power is increased to 1.2.
Times]
[Note: After the sword is broken, the Ancient Sword Leopard will briefly awaken and become your helpful ally. (Only when Qingyu uses it)]
Ok? !
Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, what attribute is this holy sword of yours?"
So, if Lucario equips the Calamity Sword, not only will he get a free Holy Sword move, but he'll also gain more Ice-type coverage?
As expected of Arceus's powerful hand, it's amazing!
Qingyu gave a thumbs-up to the sky, then looked at Lucario again.
So, does that mean Lucario should continue his training?
In terms of boxing techniques, it has already learned the incredibly powerful Invisible Fist from Master Ma, as well as two of Master Xiong's signature moves.
However, his swordsmanship training was almost nonexistent. In Qingyu's view, he had no skills whatsoever and relied entirely on brute force to unleash sword energy.
However, there are indeed many fighters in the Pokémon world, but I don't think I've ever heard of a master swordsman.
Pokémon that can use swords are extremely rare.
The Aegislash is characterized by its ability to switch between offense and defense, but its sword techniques are not particularly outstanding; the Paper Mage is an ultimate monster from outer space, and it's impossible to even encounter it now.
So it seems there are only two choices left —
The three musketeers of the Unova region, or Zacian, the "King of Swords" of the Galar region.
But they all come and go without a trace, so it seems we can only take it one step at a time for now.
Qingyu thought about it and realized that Lucario's current strength was already quite impressive, so there was no rush.
I'll use the travel system again when I get back, it's been a long time since I did.
Since it's become so convenient to go anywhere, I've almost forgotten that such a convenient thing even exists.
"Crack?"
Back at the Sunny Gym, Lucario, wielding the Blade of Calamity, was seen dozing on the grass. For some reason, Salamence suddenly shivered.
What a terrifying aura! It looks like a real threat to me!
Salamence instinctively stood up and took several small steps back before finally feeling a little more at ease.
Its intuition told it that even a mere touch from that sword could be fatal.
Therefore, it's best to stay away as much as possible!
"Bonito?"
The distant Egui Peng also noticed the chill.
However, Erguilan only tilted his head before immediately realizing what was happening, removing the green grass mask from his head and replacing it with a stove mask.
As a result, the discomfort it felt immediately lessened considerably.
Taking in the unusual behavior of the two Pokémon, Qingyu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Even the Spectral Pokemon could sense some danger; as expected of a legendary Pokémon transformed into an artifact, it certainly has a story behind it.
So, should we really encourage Lucario to strive to become a "master swordsman" and develop him into a versatile swordsman?
Qingyu then walked over to Lucario and said to it, "Lucario, do you remember how you got to the Isle of Armor gym?"
"Luca—!"
Lucario blinked, and after a moment's thought, suddenly realized.
"That's right. If you want to improve your swordsmanship, you really should find a suitable teacher, right?"
Qingyu smiled.
"How about giving it a try after all this time?"
"Luca!"
Lucario nodded without hesitation.
"Then, close your eyes for now."
After Lucario closed his eyes as instructed, Qingyu immediately entered the travel training module of the system.
Seeing the simple line drawing style interface that had appeared before her eyes for so long, Qingyu suddenly felt a little nostalgic.
It was through this system that Eevee was able to learn sketching from Master Smite at the Luna Museum, and Riolu was able to travel across regions to the Isle of Armor to train.
However, the Pokémon that came later all had their own characteristics, so I simply let them grow freely and never used them again.
Compared to the previously deserted gym with only two baby Pokémon, the Sunny Gym in the picture is now much more lively.
In the training field, a chibi version of Mewtwo is facing the six little ones with a fierce expression, looking very angry;
Outside the dojo, on the ground, is the evil spirit wearing a stove mask and with most of its body covered by a well-preserved secret seasoning.
Salamence and Milton are lying in the expanded "Pokémon House" for them, squinting and enjoying the sun;
Hiding behind the gym gate, peeking furtively at its proud little Sylveon:
The doting younger sister, humming a little tune as she prepared dinner in the kitchen, seemed to be in a good mood.
Of course, there's also Lucario standing in front of me with his eyes closed and a blue longsword in his hand.
Aoba unconsciously smiled and clicked on Lucario's chibi avatar.
Lucario (The King of Scrolls)
[Practice Goal: None at the moment]
Current status: Excited, ready to embark on a trip.
The three musketeers are elusive in Unova, making it difficult to pinpoint their exact location. Therefore, Aoba decided to set the Galar region as the destination for this trip.
In comparison, Zacian's location is relatively easy to figure out; it can almost be locked in the area of the Misty Forest.
"Once you get there, remember to look for the big dog carrying a sword!"
"If you can build a good relationship with it, it might teach you some really powerful sword techniques."
As Qingyu's voice faded, Lucario's figure also disappeared.
[Pokémon Lucario has embarked on a journey!]
As Qingyu watched the long-awaited notification pop up, he breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but wonder if Lucario was really something special and a martial arts prodigy.
If you can even learn the signature moves of those two bear masters, then learning the Giant Beast Slash isn't too much to ask, right?
"Luca————"
When Lucario felt a sense of weightlessness and instinctively opened his eyes, he found himself in an extremely unfamiliar place—
square.
The surrounding area was a lush green forest shrouded in thick fog with visibility of less than 30 meters, and it seemed as if I was standing at the entrance of the forest.
Lucario lowered his head and thought for a moment, then decisively took a step forward.
Since it's the trainer's decision, all I need to do is follow it!
There must be a Pokémon nearby that is very skilled with swords. Once you find it, you can learn advanced sword techniques!
Lucario strode forward, deliberately making a loud thud on the ground, startling the Cuckoo and Greedy Squirrel hiding in the nearby forest, who scattered and fled into the distance.
Because it didn't conceal its presence, weaker Pokémon nearby didn't dare approach it.
Although it might be seen as looking for trouble—but there's no other way. If it wants to find the real strongman in this forest as soon as possible, this method is undoubtedly the most time-saving.
Soon, it felt a piercing gaze fixed on it, and instinctively looked to the side.
However, it found nothing.
Just as Lucario was feeling confused, he suddenly heard a loud bark.
"Roar—!"
When I turned around again, two brightly colored, imposing dog Pokémon appeared before me, scrutinizing me with their eyes.
"Luca?"
Lucario quickly realized what was happening, but at the same time was a little puzzled.
The trainer said there was only one dog Pokémon wielding a sword, so why are there two powerful opponents in front of me?
Besides, they don't look like they have hands that can hold swords, do they?
Although I don't quite understand, anyway—
Let's have a fight first, and convey our thoughts to the other side through combat!
"Luca!"
Lucario raised his sword of calamity, pointing it at one of the large dogs, which had blue fur and white markings on its body that looked like scars.
"Roar?"
Lucario's actions clearly puzzled the Pokémon named Zacian. Did this guy come to the forest just to fight him?
However—it's not bad either.
They haven't encountered a worthy challenger for many years since they suppressed that behemoth.
They've probably been forgotten by humans long ago.
Thinking of this, Cangxiang's eyes immediately sharpened.
