Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 969 Golden Gale and the Ancestor

In a dilapidated street in a corner of the city, you enter the ancient building through an inconspicuous main entrance, where a spacious corridor extends upwards.

"Golden Gale~" Ash's voice rang out calmly: "How is that child?"

Standing beside Ash, Lucario, the brave warrior with one hand on his hip, raised his head and opened his eyes: "A very good aura, but... too competitive, still very immature."

"Haha, they're the younger generation after all." Xiao Zhi nodded.

"Teacher, what exactly is the Golden Gale?" Roy asked uncertainly.

“It’s a Pokémon that belongs to you. But you can’t beat it right now.” Ash pointed at Ulto.

"You two, let's have a team battle."

"Huh? Why should I help him?" Ulte shouted reluctantly.

"Because your Sableye also needs to feel your Aura in battle." Ash gently patted Ulto's head: "When the Pokémon and the Trainer are of one mind, the path of evolution will be revealed before your eyes."

“Ulte, please.” Roy spoke first, addressing Ulte.

"Tch! I got it!" Ulte gritted his teeth: "Give me some serious effort, or I'll go and subdue that Golden Gale myself!"

"Alright, let's save our energy for when you beat it." Ash shook his head and looked towards the corridor.

"Lucario, where is it?"

Lucario calmly pointed to the hidden staircase ahead: "For the messengers of the waveguide, the paths here are as clear as a garden."

"Let's go!" With the two little ones in tow, Ash and his two companions made their way to the top of the tower.

"Pikachu~" Pikachu's ears twitched, and its gaze sharpened.

In front of Ash, a golden Lucario sat cross-legged, its body radiating a faint golden aura!

“That’s… a Shiny Lucario!” Roy felt his heart skip a beat.

“That’s right, go and defeat it, and it will be your partner.” Ash nodded.

“Alright, I’ll be his opponent!” Ulte said confidently.

"Lucario... Crocodile with Bone Pattern, I'm begging you one more time." Roy frowned and pondered, but still decided to send out his general, Crocodile with Bone Pattern.

"Acha~" Shiny Lucario opened its eyes and first looked at Ash and Brave Lucario.

The two's auras, compared to the Shiny Lucario, were like two midday suns—powerful yet restrained.

“Child, we are not your target, but if you want to give it a try…” Warrior Lucario chuckled, pointing at Roy and the other’s Pokémon: “You’ll have to prove your strength first.”

"Uru~" The Odd-colored Lucario stood up gently and then fixed its gaze on Roy and the other two.

"It feels so oppressive..." Roy's expression tightened.

"Tch, bring it on." Ulte was still as defiant as ever.

"Luca!!" The Odd-colored Lucario swung its arms, and its entire body instantly transformed into a golden flash, rushing past the two people with a gust of wind and arriving behind them.

"So fast!" Roy and Ulte's expressions changed drastically.

"Divine speed? This child's talent lies in the enhancement of speed and strength. Truly a born warrior." The warrior Lucario nodded admiringly.

"Damn it, I'll beat you to a pulp! Hookeye, Power Gem!" Ulte made the first move.

"Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, Flame Breath!" Roy initiated the attack and immediately followed up.

Boom! A purple gem beam and blazing flames rushed towards the opponent from the left and right.

Whoosh! The golden figure flashed past, leaving only a gust of wind.

“This is the Golden Gale…” Roy said solemnly.

"This kid is a mature fighter now," Ash nodded in admiration.

In the way of fighting, nothing is invincible except speed.

Bang! With a basic attack infused with the power of aura, he easily knocked back the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile and the Soul-Snatching Eye with two punches.

This shows that this Shiny Lucario has learned to incorporate Aura into its moves, and its direct attack on the soul cannot be dodged using the Ghost-type ability.

"The high-speed interweaving of divine speed and fighting techniques is quite interesting," Warrior Lucario commented.

"Damn it, if that's the case, let's just charge in!" Ulte pointed at the other side: "Go for it, Soul Reaper!"

"Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile!! Charged Flame Strike!!" Roy had already reacted.

You need to speed up to hit the opponent.

However, when faced with the attack from two Pokémon, Shiny Lucario simply waved its hands and used Aerial Ace.

Bang! Two figures were sent flying backward again.

"Still not working?" Roy gritted his teeth.

"Hmm~" With a soft exhale, the Shiny Lucario roared to the sky.

"Alright, you can step back now." Ash shook his head: "It seems it's still too early for you."

"Lu~" Shiny Lucario looked at Warrior Lucario and assumed a serious fighting stance.

"Okay. I mean what I say." Ash gently closed his eyes.

Drip-drop—In the depths of my heart, this drop of water causes ripples that spread continuously, eventually transforming into a roaring tornado!

Boom!! The azure aura surged like flames, and Lucario, tinged with fiery red, stepped forward.

Aura Resonance Mega Evolution! To this day, only Ash and a select few Pokémon can achieve this.

"Whoosh!" Shiny Lucario suddenly leaped into the air, and with a whoosh, a golden gust of wind swept in once more!

*Snap!* With a gentle lift of one hand, Lucario easily caught his opponent's lightning-fast straight punch.

“Quickly retaliate~” Xiao Zhi said calmly.

"Ugh!" Shiny Lucario suddenly leaped up, unleashing a backflip kick!

Bang! Warrior Lucario gently placed one hand on the chest of the Odd-Colored Lucario.

A surge of power erupts, unleashing its force!

Boom!! The violent aura burst open, and the golden Lucario was thrown backwards like a cannonball.

*Pfft* Exhaling a breath of stale air, the shiny Lucario stared in disbelief at its senior.

His pride in his speed was completely undermined by the opponent's aura, which seemed to predict the future.

Moreover, that devastating waveguide power was simply monstrous...

"Is it over?" The warrior Lucario retracted its hand and calmly returned to stand beside Ash.

"Don't be discouraged, there will be another chance next time." Ash smiled at Shiny Lucario.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, we didn't win..." Roy lowered his head and apologized.

"Hmph, I won't lose next time." Ulte has a typical competitive personality.

"Save those words for when you beat it." Ash pursed his lips, nodded to Shiny Lucario, and led the two away through the side door.

"Teacher, I can still play!" Roy said somewhat unwillingly.

"No rush, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood." Xiao Zhi looked at the desolate wilderness not far away.

"You two need two high-speed training partners."
