“Congratulations, I haven’t met a trainer like you in a long time.

The bond between you and your Pokémon opened my eyes to a whole new kind of power.

This is proof that you have defeated me, the Libra Badge."

"Ha, of course!

We have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

That's right, Lucario."

Lin Jing took the badge in his hand swiftly and said carelessly while hugging his own Mega Lucario which had not yet released its super evolution.

"Luka... (Are you... okay...?)"

Mega Lucario glanced at Lin Jing and felt his claws itchy.

If it weren't for the fact that the bird, the smell, and the claws that were secretly rubbing its hair were the same as before, it would definitely punch it and ask where its own Jing had gone.

Unfortunately, it was not convenient for Lin Jing to reply at the moment. She just hugged Mega Lucario's arm and scratched its hair which became more fluffy after its super evolution.

"By the way, do you want to stay for dinner?

The meals my wife cooks are very delicious.

I also want to learn more about the legendary mega evolution."

Without noticing some of Lin Jing's little movements, Qianli extended the invitation.

But Lin Jing just waved his hand cheerfully.

"No, no, I have something else to do.

Maybe next time.

But it seems like Lukia, Xiaoyao and the others are having a great time.

You just stay here for now.

Bye~"

After saying that, before Qianli could reply, Lin Jing waved to Lukia, and then dragged her Lucario out of the gym without hesitation.

"Strange... this child..."

Qianli scratched his head. Is it the kind of person whose personality becomes completely different after a fight?

But it wasn't like this when I fought Regirock before.

"Lin Jing... he is really strange today, right?"

In the audience, Lukia, who had just extended her hand, looked at the disappeared figure and looked at the Pokémon sitting next to her.

But then a series of black lines appeared on his face.

Because the group of people from Lin Jing's family had already left in a hurry following Lin Jing's footsteps.

"Tsk, I don't care about him.

Let’s go, Xiaoqingqing, let’s go eat Aunt Mitsuko’s meal.”

"Qiqi~"

...

"Luka. (Jing, are you sure you are okay?)"

Still maintaining its mega evolution state, Lucario frowned as he watched Lin Jing running towards the inn with it.

"Huh? Don't worry, maintaining a mega evolution is different from a Z-move.

Just keep our waves and emotions going.

Although it consumes some energy, I can at least last for an hour if I don’t fight.”

Lin Jing pinched Mega Lucario's nose and rubbed it lovingly despite the spikes on its body.

"Luka... (That's not what I'm talking about. Don't you think your current mood is wrong...)"

Lucario glanced at Lin Jing's expression at the moment.

Different from his usual gentle expression or the one where he suppresses some of his interests because he is outside.

If Lucario were to describe it, Lin Jing looked like a fool today.

A flamboyant smile was on his face, and in addition there was the fighting spirit conveyed in the wave from the previous battle.

It can be said that Lin Jing is completely different from the past.

"Oh.

Of course, I'm excited because you finally mega evolved.

Oh yes, yes, is this the tail or the hair extending from the upper body?

Tsk tsk, it looks almost the same as Arcanine’s tail.

Come back soon and let me hug you."

Lin Jing reached out and rubbed the hair under Lucario that was like a skirt, especially the big bump at the back that was like the tip of a windspeed dog's tail.

It completely grew on Lin Jing's heart.

.......There is indeed no change in this aspect.

Feeling the exact same words coming out of Lin Jing's mind and mouth, Mega Lucario and the group of creatures following behind him were all ashamed.

Just based on this, even without the bird, it can be confirmed that it is Lin Jing himself.

"Ah, that's right.

Because of what happened before, my understanding of waveguide is much deeper now.

Do you want to fight me later?"

Lin Jing squeezed Lucario's fist, which now had two spikes, with a provocative look on his face.

...Now it's completely different.

No, if you think about it carefully, it seems they have seen Jing like this before.

Is it possible...

"Luka? (Are you still suffering from the aftereffects of the previous exchange?)"

Lucario tilted his head and looked Lin Jing up and down.

Jing likes fighting so much. When you think about it carefully, it has never seen such a thing except when this guy was Leo Jing some time ago.

"how come.

Wasn't it already ready?

I just suddenly feel that your usual thoughts are not wrong.

Fighting-type Pokémon really should fight with real fists to be called fighting-type Pokémon."

Lin Jing clenched his fist and waved it.

The movement was exactly the same as when Lucario punched before.

"Ah, speaking of fighting.

I feel like the fight just now wasn’t satisfying enough.

Lucario, do you think we should find another trainer to fight against?"

After just throwing a punch, Lin Jing looked around as if he was searching for a target.

...It's over, Jing seemed stupid.

This is the same thought in Lucario and the group of people following behind him.

After all, this guy is usually too lazy to move.

Unless they are required to hone new moves, or someone like Arcanine demands it desperately.

Otherwise, he wouldn't really want to fight.

Is it really quiet?

It won’t change again.

I think so. After all, the taste hasn't changed at all.

That's right, and... this guy is the only one who would do this.

The little guys exchanged glances with each other.

But in the end, after looking at someone who was constantly rubbing Mega Lucario's hair with his hands and couldn't suppress the expression on his face, everyone confirmed that the core inside... should still be the original one this time.

He took another deep breath buried in Lucario's now long braid.

After noticing the passers-by around him, Lin Jing immediately became serious and pretended to groom his hair.

"Forget it, let's go back quickly.

Lucario, that's not right.

It should now be called Mega Lucario.

I won it just as you said.

So before I finish.

Hehehe~~~"

Well...it’s definitely Jing herself.

But what is going on?
