Just as the captain was about to be buried uhe falling rocks, Lucario suddenly appeared by his side. With a powerful leap, it unched a flurry of puoward the desding boulders.

  Each punch was delivered at lightning speed, almost faster than the eye could follow.

  In the blink of ahe falling rocks were shattered a flying in all dires.

  Lucario nded gracefully.

  The captain swallowed hard, staring at Lucario in awe, his voice trembling as he muttered, "S..."

  Lucario's dispy of power stunned not only the Graveler but also their leader, the Golem.

  At Golem's growl, the dozens of Graveler quickly retreated to its side.

  With the Graveler gohe pressure oen members of the security team eased signifitly. Even the Geodude had begun to withdraw.

  "What's going on?"

  "Did the captai that Golem already?"

  "Look! There's a Lucario over there! Since when did the captain catch such a rare Pokémon?"

  "You idiot, 't you see someoandio the captain? That Luust belong to him."

  The team members murmured among themselves, most wearing a mix of fusion and relief from their near death escape.

  "Thank you"

  The captain said to Julian, who had now walked over to his side.

  As the captain looked at Julian's young face, a flicker nition crossed his mind. It felt like he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't quite recall where.

  Julian simply nodded.

  Looking at the Golem and the dozens of Graveler not far away, Julian uood why the train's security team had struggled to resolve the issue.

  The Golem was at the peak of pseudo-Elite strength, and with the addition of dozens of Advanced-level Graveler, it wasn't a situatioeam could have handled alone.

  "Extreme Speed," Julian said calmly.

  "Luca!~"

  With a soft growl, Lucario transformed into a streak of light. Its speed was so astonishing that it vanished from sight, being invisible to the naked eye.

  The Graveler, realizing that Lucario had disappeared, began frantically looking around.

  Bang!

  In the moment, a Graveler was sent flying.

  And then—

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  A series of impact sounds followed as Graveler after Graveler was strud hurled through the air.

  The security team members and the captain stared wide-eyed, watg as the Graveler were effortlessly defeated.

  Not a single one could catch even a glimpse of Lucario.

  Ihan thirty seds, the dozens of Graveler were pletely taken down.

  Lucario finally reappeared, standing calmly before them.

  One of the security team members, a Fighting-type trainer, looked at Lucario with shining eyes.

  "See? I told you Fighting-types are the stro! Did you all see that? This is proof!"

  "Who is that young man? His Lucario is terrifyingly strong. I think it could take down the captain's Ampharos in seds!"

  "King Julian, how could you nnize him? You're such a fake fan. Weren't you just bragging about being his biggest fan?"

  The team member's face turned red, aiffened his neck as he defended himself, "I couldn't see his face! Who reize someone just by their back?"

  "A true fan could reize him by just a toe!"

  Julian: 'Are fans this amazing these days?'

  Golem took a step forward after seeing its Graveler minioed and roared loudly.

  Golem: ' I leave now?'

  Julian: (-_-)o

  Lucario: (￣∠￣)?

  'Seriously? Saying the most cowardly thing ioughest tone?'

  Golem, realizing it couldn't beat Lucario, decided it wasn't worth taking a pointless beating.

  Lucario: 'Experience points, don't just walk away.'

  Golem saw the determination in Lucario's eyes and abahe idea of fleeing. Judging from the speed Lucario had just dispyed, escape wasn't even an option.

  "Roar"

  With a resounding rolem summoned reinforts. The remaining hundreds of Geodude charged toward Lucario, leaving the fallen Graveler behind.

  The roar also reached the Geodude he train. These Geodude, initially intimidated by Aggron's imposing presence, hesitated but relutly advanced uheir leader's orders.

  "They're moving again!"

  Seeing the approag Geodude, the previously relieved group of five led by Taylor was armed once more.

  However, the massive Aggron at the front of their formation took a siep forward. The ground trembled slightly us weight, and its intimidating presence caused several Geodude at the front to hesitate again.

  But it was too te. An aquamarine Dragon Pulse surged forth, brimming with violent energy, sweeping over the Geodude like a tidal wave.

  In an instant, the dense swarm of Geodude was mostly cleared out, and those who survived were caught iermath of the attack, sustaining heavy injuries.

  With a single move, Aggron had taken down nearly two hundred Geodude.

  Although the Geodude were retively low-leveled, Aggron's sheer power was undeniable.

  "Amazing!"

  Taylor and her group were dumbfounded by the se.

  "If Aggron is this powerful, imagine how strong King Julian's Metagross must be!" one of the boys said, eyes filled with admiration.

  "Why is Aggron moving forward?"

  After finishing the fight, Aggron didn't stay in pce. Instead, it began walking in the dire Julian had gone.

  "It's going to find King Julian, obviously. Let's follow it," Taylgested.

  The others nodded in agreement, except for the boy who had been unfriendly toward Julian because of Chase.

  With the Geodude dealt with, the threat around the train had naturally been eliminated.

  Curious to see what kind of battle Julian was engaged in, the group of five followed behind Aggron as it marched toward Julian's location.

  Meanwhile, many passengers orain had witnessed Aggron taking down nearly two hundred Geodude with a siack through the windows. Excitement rippled through the crowd.

  Many pulled out their phoo record the moment, and those who acted quickly had already uploaded the footage to TikTok.

  Some of the uploaders were minor influencers, and the videos quickly gaitention.

  - "An Aggron this big must eat a ton!"

  - "This is exactly why I don't capture Aggron. Imagihe food bills."

  - "Quick question: why is this Aggron so massive?"

  - "Look up Totem Pokémon."

  - "My dad's a shareholder in Penguin Group. 3 billion for this Aggron!"

  - "Julian: Why not buy Metagross while you're at it?"

  One particur wealthy enter was stunned when they saw the replies, realizing this Aggron beloo Julian, they quickly deleted their post.

  Back at the battlefront, as over a hundred Geodude charged toward him, Lucario csped its hands together.

  A silvery-white beam burst forth from between its palms, sweeping from left tht like a scythe through a field of grain.

  One by one, all the Geodude fell.

  Julian ehere were no fatalities. For wild Pokémon, as long as they hadn't harmed humans or his own Pokémon, Julian wouldn't take their lives.

  Though just moments ago, the Graveler had nearly killed Raichu.

  But then again, Raichu wasn't his Pokémon. If it died, so be it.
