Chapter 840 834: Overwhelming Advantage

"Sir, look. That force is still increasing."

Suddenly, the butler's warning voice sounded. That powerful energy began to increase rapidly.

The image on the giant screen returned to the battlefield.

At that moment, Delphox, which had fallen to the ground, had already stood up.

In front of it, Mega Lucario advanced step by step.

But what surprised everyone was that Delphox's figure remained completely motionless.

Finally, Mega Lucario arrived in front of Delphox, extended one hand, and pressed it directly against it.

Boom!

In an instant, terrifying energy erupted.

Delphox's figure flew backward like a cannonball and crashed heavily into the protective wall.

"This... Delphox... lost?"

The spectators looked at that scene with blank minds, becoming somewhat stunned.

They could not understand what exactly had happened in the field.

Why, under Lucario's attack, had Delphox not put up the slightest resistance?

Had Delphox lost just like that?

"Delphox!"

In the field, Magnus's face was completely stunned.

Only when Delphox's figure detached from the protective wall and fell heavily to the ground did he react.

Immediately, he hurriedly ran over.

And at that moment, Delphox had clearly already lost the ability to battle and had fainted.

"Hey, hey, what just happened?"

Looking at Delphox, which had already lost the ability to battle, and Lucario with its calm face, all the spectators were confused.

Everything had ended far too suddenly.

Moreover, Lucario's final attack had been far too simple.

Precisely because of that, the spectators were so shocked, unable to calm down for a long time.

It was evident that, compared with the current Lucario, Delphox was not at the same level at all.

"Good work, Lucario."

Ethan smiled slightly, took out the Poké Ball, and directly recalled Mega Lucario.

And with both Pokémon leaving, that also announced the end of Ethan's battle to rise to Duke.

The final result left everyone completely surprised.

Magnus, who was about to become an Elite, had lost, and moreover, he was defeated in an overwhelming way despite having sent out his main Pokémon!

At the same time, along with Ethan's victory, the Battle Chateau saw the birth of a new Duke!

In addition, Ethan broke the record for the youngest Duke of the Battle Chateau, and his name was forever engraved on the Battle Chateau monument.

...

"In such a short time, you really became a Duke!"

At the embassy, Ambassador Roland looked at the Duke badge Ethan handed him and spoke with great surprise.

How much time had passed since Ethan arrived at the Tavaria League until now?

"Yes. Yesterday, I completed the battle to rise to Duke."

Ethan nodded and briefly explained what had happened in the battle.

"Your final opponent was Magnus?"

Hearing Ethan's words, Ambassador Roland suddenly opened his eyes wide.

If the Magnus Ethan spoke of was the same person he remembered...

Then there was no doubt: he was a true Elite-level Trainer. And moreover, he was a rather powerful existence even among those at the Elite level.

But someone like that had lost in battle against Ethan.

"He was certainly a good opponent."

Ethan spoke lightly. Now that his strength kept increasing, he suddenly felt that the Elites were no longer so unreachable.

If he revealed all his cards, even against an Elite of the Daleron League, he had confidence to fight.

"Perhaps you should go challenge the Elites."

After listening to Ethan, Ambassador Roland spoke sincerely.

"If I have the chance, I'll participate," Ethan replied with a smile.

He had long had the idea of challenging for an Elite position in the Daleron League.

And the Elite Tournament was, evidently, a much more intense battlefield than the Pokémon League or the Battle Chateau.

There, his Pokémon could train to the utmost.

In fact, among the numerous challengers of the Elite Tournament, those who truly aimed for the position of League Elite were still a minority.

Most Trainers took the Elite Tournament as a training ground.

In the Elite Tournament gathered the strongest group of Trainers in the entire Daleron League, so it was undoubtedly the ideal place to battle and exchange experience.

"I look forward to it. Perhaps you will become the youngest Elite of the Daleron League."

Ambassador Roland encouraged him. Then he added, "Now, do you plan to return to the Daleron League or travel around this place a bit more?"

"That..."

Ethan reflected for a moment.

During this training in the Tavaria League, his gains had undoubtedly been enormous.

The greatest beneficiary was naturally Lucario.

In addition to having obtained the inheritance of autonomous Mega Evolution in the Diamond Kingdom, its body had also completely recovered.

Under those circumstances, Lucario's strength had directly entered the Elite level.

And that was not counting Mega Evolution. If it used Mega Evolution, its strength had already been fully shown in the battle against Delphox.

Even Delphox, which was also Elite level and mastered superior techniques, had been directly crushed.

Of course, besides Lucario, Garchomp and the others had also obtained many benefits.

Among them, Garchomp, after perfecting its slash techniques, already had the capital to attempt to reach the Elite level.

And Cacturne, Litwick, and the other Pokémon related to life energy also obtained enormous benefits during this research on autonomous Mega Evolution and life energy.

The only somewhat regrettable thing was that, during this training in the Tavaria League, he had not found the Mega Stones of Slowbro or Tyranitar.

Therefore, he planned to continue staying in the Tavaria League to see whether he could search for the Mega Evolution of Slowbro and Tyranitar, and along the way gather some other objects.

After all, the Kalos region was the place of origin of Mega Evolution, and it was the place where there was the greatest possibility of finding Mega Stones.

"You want to buy some resources in the Tavaria League to take back, huh?"

"Regarding that, I have a good recommendation. Take it as a reward for you."

Ambassador Roland reflected for a moment and showed a smile.

Afterward, he walked over to the desk, opened a drawer, and took out an invitation.

"An auction house?"

"This really is a place where top-level resources might appear."

Ethan's eyes shone. Naturally, a place like an auction house was not unfamiliar to him.

As long as you had enough money, you could auction whatever you wanted there.

For Ethan, who now possessed an enormous sum of money, an auction house was undoubtedly a very good place to gather top-level resources.

He had even heard that at a certain auction, a legendary-level resource had appeared, and had sold for an astronomical price!
