Lin Ce woke up to find that he had transmigrated into the Pokemon world.
The good news: he had brought along the Pokemon from his previous life’s game.
The bad news: the world’s rules had suppressed all his max-level Pokemon back to their initial forms.
From the start, he had only a Lv. 5 Lucario, so weak it trembled with every step.
During the Pewter Gym battle, Onix’s Rock Slide drove them into a desperate corner. Suddenly, a ghostly blue light unlike anything seen in Mega Evolution shone from Lucario. Black markings spread across its body like living things, and the phantom shape of a scale slowly took form between its palms.
It had evolved into a form that had never existed in this world.
Anubis.
At that very moment, the teacup in Professor Oak’s hand shattered on the floor. Far away at the League headquarters, Lance’s Dragon Fang snapped in his palm. The thousand-year-old murals in Cameran Palace began to glow with a faint blue light once more.
“Lucario… You rascal. Never mind, I suppose I should call you Anubis now.”
Years later, at the Masters Tournament finals, when Red’s Pikachu was pierced through its Protect barrier by a single strike of Soul Judgment, the whole world asked the same question:
What exactly was that trainer Lin Ce’s Lucario?
