065 Battle, Kirlia's First Stage! (One More)
"I don't think Qin Yun has a stronger Pokémon left. He's just a high school senior. To perform at this level is already incredible."
"Agreed. Training two Pokémon to such a level in just over a month is genius."
"His third Pokémon should be the entry-level Heracross he recently acquired. It hasn't had enough training."
"If that's the case, then Qin Yun has no hope of winning."
Most spectators doubted Qin Yun's chances. He was still a novice trainer, yet he had already nurtured two exceptionally strong Pokémon—Combusken and Fomantis. That was unheard of for a newcomer.
Only Xu Qian remained skeptical of the crowd's assumptions. He had researched Qin Yun and knew that his first Pokémon was not Combusken or Fomantis, but rather Ralts.
That Ralts had never participated in any major battles in Jiangcheng, leading many to overlook its existence.
But Xu Qian saw something others missed.
"Qin Yun… is your Ralts actually your strongest Pokémon? Or did you simply keep it hidden because it was difficult to train?"
Xu Qian murmured to himself. His gut told him that Qin Yun wasn't the type to neglect any of his Pokémon. His dedication to training was undeniable.
Hong Shen's gaze locked onto Qin Yun, eager to see what Pokémon he would send out. He wanted a real challenge.
"It's up to you now… Come out, Kirlia!"
A bright light flashed, revealing Kirlia's elegant figure.
The entire battlefield fell silent.
Kirlia's beauty was mesmerizing. Her form was far more refined than a typical Kirlia, her colors vibrant, her posture graceful.
"She's stunning! I've never seen such a beautiful Kirlia!"
"I think I just fell in love…"
Countless murmurs of admiration spread through the crowd.
Even Hong Shen was taken aback.
"There's a rumor that Kirlia's appearance changes based on its happiness with its Trainer. The more joyful it is, the more beautiful it becomes."
He exhaled sharply.
"To reach this level… The only Kirlia I've heard of that could compare was the Gardevoir owned by Champion Diantha."
"This kid isn't just a genius. He's a monster."
Hong Shen immediately realized that this Kirlia was no ordinary Pokémon.

"Kirlia…"
The first thing Kirlia did was search for Qin Yun. The moment she saw him, her expression softened, and she smiled sweetly.
But when she noticed the eyes of the crowd, her smile quickly disappeared. Her affection was reserved for Qin Yun alone.
Kirlia disliked large crowds. But if Qin Yun was there, it was different.
If anyone asked Kirlia where she liked to be, she would answer without hesitation: wherever my Trainer is.
"Kirlia, this is your first time on the battlefield. Let's do our best."
Qin Yun's voice was warm.
Kirlia nodded firmly. She would not let him down.
Her gaze turned serious. She could sense the immense strength of the opponent before her.
The battlefield around her was still burning—remnants of Combusken's fiery rampage.
Kirlia's eyes flashed coldly.
She didn't care much for Combusken, but Combusken was still her teammate, her family. And no one was allowed to bully her family.
"The final battle begins!"
The referee's voice carried excitement.
Would the Gym Leader's Pinsir crush Kirlia with brute strength?
Or would Kirlia defy the odds and create a miracle?
"This is a bad matchup for Kirlia. Bug-type moves are super effective against Psychic-types."
"Exactly. The only reason Combusken dominated earlier was due to type advantage."
"And let's not forget—Kirlia isn't even elite-level yet. She's only at the peak of the entry level."
The audience's excitement shifted to concern.
"Hong Shen is so cruel. How could he attack such a beautiful Pokémon? No wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend."
The remark came from a young girl in the crowd, making several spectators laugh awkwardly.
Xu Qian smirked.
"If the Gym Leader heard that, he'd probably spit blood."
Luckily, Hong Shen was too focused on the battle to hear the insult.
"Pinsir, stay on guard. Don't attack recklessly."
Hong Shen's eyes narrowed.
He didn't know what to expect from this Kirlia. Psychic-types were always tricky, even when at a disadvantage.
"Kirlia, teleport behind Pinsir and use Shadow Ball!"
Kirlia vanished in an instant, reappearing behind Pinsir.
A dark energy sphere formed between her hands before she hurled it forward.
Shadow Ball was a Ghost-type move—neutral against Pinsir. More importantly, it had a chance to lower the opponent's Special Defense.
"Pinsir, counter with Double Kick!"
Hong Shen's reaction was swift.
Pinsir spun around and struck the Shadow Ball with its first kick, shattering it. Then, with its second kick, it lunged at Kirlia.
But Kirlia didn't even flinch.
"Kirlia, use Psychic Telekinesis."
Kirlia's hands moved ever so slightly, and an invisible force halted Pinsir in midair.
Then, with a flick of her finger—
Pinsir was shoved just slightly off course.
Its kick missed completely.
Hong Shen's eyes widened.
"Did she just manipulate its trajectory mid-attack?"
He frowned.
Controlling an opponent's movements with Psychic energy was a high-level ability. Most Psychic Pokémon only gained such precise control after evolving into their final forms.
"This Kirlia… has already mastered advanced Psychic manipulation?"
This battle was going to be much harder than he thought.
