"All right, ladies and gents. Fight number 5 is coming in hot so let's try and keep the ball rolling on this one." Chi Ta said as the lights shined down as a certain theme played. "This Pokémon is popular with a number of trainers due to its cool appearance and vast fighting skills. It's mastered its own life force and can understand the human language. He's the Master of Aura! Please come and welcome...Lucario!" she called out as the Pokémon itself walked into the arena.

"So it's a Lucario this time. A Fighting and Steel type." Spectra said.

"As for its competitor...Spectra Force has been chosen for this…" Chi Ta said before seeing Spectra walk past her.

"Go right ahead and introduce me." Spectra said. "I want to see what this Pokémon is capable of."

"Uh...all right." Chi Ta said. "From the furthest reaches of the Future Universe, he's the rogue genius who tamed the black dragon Zekrom as well as the destroyer dragon, Rayquaza. He is the Man of Crimson! Spectra Phantom!" she said as the audience applauded.

"Sometimes, I just can't seem to get a read on him." Spade said.

"The guy is a total enigma. You can never tell what he's thinking." Leia said.

"Now...as for the location…" Chi Ta said. "Spear Pillar!" she called out as Spectra stood on a large mountain along with Lucario. "Let the battle...begin!"

Lucario started off with an Aura Sphere as Spectra deflected it with an energy shield.

"Your power is impressive but it matters not in the face of my array." Spectra said as a glow surrounded him before he stood there, having used Burst to merge with Zekrom.

Lucario growled as it circled around Spectra to try and perform a Force Palm only to be struck with a Thunderbolt.

"I've run simulations on all the possible opponents for this tournament before arriving here. I know how you move." Spectra said as he rapidly struck at Lucario.

Lucario simply continued to fight against Spectra, even if it was at a disadvantage.

"Wow...the battle has barely even started and Spectra is already dominating his opponent. Though not like we expected less from a man who's quick on the uptake and outsmarting his enemies." Chi Ta said.

"He's always been like that. Dominating through information and tactics." Hope said.

"You do realize I'm right here, aren't you?" David asked.

"Well, to be fair, you're not exactly as...dominating about it." Zacian said.

Lucario growled as its aura intensified.

"Ah yes. As I recall, your aura grows the more damage you take. That's good. Perhaps you will try and take me down with that power." Spectra said as Lucario jumped into the air as it suddenly Mega Evolved.

"Feel the power of Aura!" Mega Lucario cried out as it unleashed a massive Aura Storm against Spectra.

"Spectra!" Dan called out.

"Seems he's gone and done enough damage to make Lucario use its full power. If our leader was the same in the past, that would have been the end of it." Najenda said.

"Wait...you mean it's not the end?" Hope asked.

Lucario soon reverted as it landed on Spear Pillar.

"Well done...you managed to undo my Burst with Zekrom. However...Zekrom isn't the only Pokemon I've bonded with." Spectra said as he stood there in his Rayquaza Burst form.

"He can burst with Rayquaza too?!" Ultra asked.

"Oh yeah...you guys weren't involved with that mission with the Merc Association." Leone said. "Yeah...he actually found the former ruler of Dragnor floating in the lanes between and decided to make it his partner. Now...he and Rayquaza are an unstoppable pair."

"Well, that's...a coincidence." Leopardmon said.

"Oh, right… You actually fought that Rayquaza when the Demon Lords were running loose, weren't you?" Sachiko asked.

"Indeed. And to think Spectra managed to tame that same uncontrollable force." Leopardmon said. "He truly is something else."

"Now...I think it's time we ended this." Spectra said, raising an arm into the air as an energy projectile was fired upward.

"Wait...is that…" Ultra said.

"Draco...Meteor!" Spectra called out as the mountain was assaulted by a barrage of meteors.

Lucario moved to avoid them, but there were too many as it was hit by a number of them before being sent flying.

"And that is it folks! We have a winner of this fight! Spectra Phantom!" Chi Ta called out as the audience was in a stunned silence as Spectra undid his Burst and walked back to the stands.

"...Dear. Lord. I am glad he's a hero these days." ZS broke the silence.

"Yeah...Spectra is not someone you want as an enemy." Dan said.

"Even now, he continues to demonstrate his power." Akame said. "I don't think he'll stop until he's struck fear in every criminal outlet out there."

"Yeah...but...that's what makes him...exciting." Jexi said.
