I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

An incredibly powerful psychic force erupted, fiercely pressing down on Scyther. Scyther let out a scream and was directly blasted away, flying all the way to crash into the wall of the stadium.

"···"

"···"

"···"

There was silence.

Wang You stared blankly as the flying mantis landed on the ground, his entire body frozen like a statue.

"What happened? What just happened?"

"I do not know either."

"It seems like Scyther got instantly killed?"

"No way?"

After an unknown amount of time, the students from Pingjiang No.1 Middle School began to discuss it, and their voices grew louder and louder.

"Scyther is unable to battle, Kirlia wins." The referee was also stunned by this scene and it took him a while to come to his senses before announcing the result.

There was an uproar. Everyone was stunned by the result, including Ye Feng's classmates, teachers, and Principal Dong.

Principal Dong never expected that Ye Feng's Kirlia had become so strong. The Scyther that had defeated Charmeleon was instantly killed. Was he serious about saying he would take down Pingjiang No. 1 Middle School? Principal Dong felt his heart racing.

"How is this possible?" Wang You's face turned pale, and he slumped to the ground, still staring blankly at the unconscious Scyther. Even now, he couldn't believe that his Scyther had been instantly killed.

"I already said that." Ye Feng said calmly, as if what had just happened wasn't done by his elf.

Ye Feng has never relaxed his training of Kirlia, and Kirlia has always worked very hard. Diligence can make up for shortcomings, not to mention that Kirlia's talent is already outstanding, and with the help of top-quality resources like Energy Cubes to supplement her nutrition in all aspects, Ye Feng has unknowingly left his peers far behind.

Geniuses aren't scary; what's scary is when a genius works even harder than you.

Moreover, Scyther dared to momentarily lose focus during its battle with Kirlia, even if only for a split second, which was enough for Ye Feng to seize the opportunity. Furthermore, moves like Teleport are extremely difficult to defend against, which is why Scyther was caught so easily, a result of Ye Feng catching its opponent off guard.

Wang You, with a grim expression, recalled his Scyther and returned to Pingjiang No. 1 Middle School.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I..." Wang You stood in front of Zhuo Fei, who had his arms crossed, looking somewhat uneasy.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. Take a rest." Zhuo Fei didn't blame Wang You as usual, but instead offered a rare word of comfort. He looked intently at Ye Feng, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit, and then got up and walked to the sidelines.

As Zhuo Fei entered the game, even more enthusiastic cheers erupted from Pingjiang No. 1 Middle School.

"It's Zhuo Fei! Zhuo Fei is on stage! The people from Jinghai No. 1 Middle School are in trouble."

"Brother Dafei! I love you!"

"I want to have Brother Dafei's babies!"

···

Zhuo Fei waved his hand behind him, and everyone quieted down.

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. This guy named Zhuo Fei seems to have a lot of prestige among the students?

"Hello, my name is Zhuo Fei." Zhuo Fei greeted him politely. Although Zhuo Fei was somewhat arrogant, he still showed due respect to those with ability.

Ye Feng was clearly someone worthy of his respect.

"My name is Ye Feng." Since the other party was so polite, Ye Feng, as a model student, would naturally not be an impolite person.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're the Rookie Cup champion from Jinghai City, right?" Zhuo Fei stared intently at Ye Feng, asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Ye Feng nodded.

Zhuo Fei looked at Kirlia on the field, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Your Kirlia is very well trained. It's no longer a Pokémon that a novice trainer can possess. I think if you had another Pokémon that you trained to a similar level, you should be able to advance to the level of a beginner trainer, right?"

Ye Feng was a little surprised.

After that, Zhuo Fei said no more and released his spirit.

The next moment, a heat wave appeared out of nowhere and swept in all directions. The elf that appeared on the field was heavy and camel-shaped, with two small volcano-like humps on its back, from which wisps of smoke rose and sparks occasionally spewed out.

The temperature of the arena suddenly rose, causing Ye Feng's pupils to contract sharply. Such a high temperature! This fire-breathing camel's control over fire energy is extraordinary.

Principal Dong and Director Li looked at the Camerupt on the field with solemn expressions. This Camerupt was quite powerful and was no longer a Pokémon that a novice trainer could possess.

"I've been taking care of Camerupt since it was an egg. We grew up together, and it's my most trusted partner." Zhuo Fei introduced his Pokémon with the expression of someone introducing a family member.

“Is that so? Kirlia is also one of my most trusted partners.” Ye Feng understood Zhuo Fei’s feelings.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

At that moment, they both felt the same emotion from each other: a love for elves.

"Fire-breathing camel, heat wind!"

At Zhuo Fei's command, the Pokémon, radiating heat from its entire body, took a deep breath and exhaled. The scorching breath quickly covered the entire area, leaving Kirlia with no way to avoid it and forcing it to endure the heat.

"Good tactic." Ye Feng's eyes lit up.

Zhuo Fei was very clear about his Pokémon's weaknesses. Compared to Kirlia, Camerupt's speed was practically like a tortoise's pace, even slower than Scyther. If he didn't use a move that covered the entire field, Camerupt would simply become a sitting duck for Kirlia.

However, Ye Feng was not worried. He looked at Kirlia, whose body was covered with a faint silver light—this was the "Steel" defense.

"Strengthen your mental focus!" Ye Feng ordered.

With a soft shout, Kirlia unleashed a burst of powerful psychic energy, instantly dispelling the hot air and even affecting Camel Flame.

"Such powerful mental strength, such a domineering method of countering!" Zhuo Fei's expression was solemn. He didn't expect that the move that had always been effective against fast Pokémon would be countered so quickly.

"Catch it!"

"The power of the earth!"

Zhuo Fei's pupils constricted slightly. He absolutely could not be controlled, so he immediately ordered the fire-breathing camel to use its fastest attack.

Camel slammed its limbs downwards, and visible waves spread out from its feet. Kirlia, who had teleported there instantly, was caught off guard and was attacked, causing her body to sway uncontrollably.

"Spray flames!"

Zhuo Fei's eyes lit up. Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Camerupt spewed out flames even more powerful than Charizard's, sweeping up a wave of air and instantly rushing towards Kirlia.

"Stop them!"

Ye Feng's expression changed. He didn't have time to dodge and could only take the hit.

Kirlia raised her hands forward, unleashing her full psychic power, and "Steady" blocked the way with unprecedented strength.

"Hmph!" Zhuo Fei's lips curled into a smile. A mere mortal body dares to challenge a jet of flame? Ye Feng, you're too arrogant!

However, what he saw before him made his eyes widen in surprise.

Just as the flamethrower was about to hit, it exploded as if it had struck a wall, then bypassed Kirlia and shot all the way to the wall.

"what happened?"

"what happens?"

Why did it miss?

"Why did the jet flame split open?"

The scene erupted in uproar, everyone stunned by this unprecedented spectacle.

"This is!" Zhuo Fei, standing at the edge of the field, clearly saw that although Kirlia was pushed back a long distance by the Flamethrower, there was indeed a wall gleaming with silver light between the flames and Kirlia, blocking the attack of the flames.

"A light wall?" A technique name flashed through Zhuo Fei's mind. Wait, while a light wall could significantly weaken energy attacks, it wouldn't completely block them like this. What kind of technique is this?

"That was close." Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Kirlia's control over her mental energy was so perfect that she was able to use "Sturdy" in time. Although "Sturdy" was almost shattered, it managed to withstand the attack. Otherwise, Ye Feng wasn't sure if Kirlia could have continued fighting after taking such a Flamethrower. Psychic-type Pokémon's stamina is still too weak.

"What kind of move is this?" Zhuo Fei was completely baffled and couldn't help but ask Ye Feng.

Ye Feng smiled but didn't say anything.

Zhuo Fei immediately realized the inappropriateness of his actions. No one would casually tell others about such a powerful defensive move that could block flames, especially since the two were currently in battle.

"Enchanting Voice," Ye Feng ordered.

What kind of move is this? Zhuo Fei was taken aback for a moment when he heard the name of the move he didn't recognize.

Immediately, a melodious song began to play. The Fire-Breathing Camel froze for a moment, then started grinning foolishly at Kirlia, drool dripping from its mouth onto the ground.

"Mind control techniques?" Zhuo Fei's pupils contracted slightly. Oh no, this situation... "Fire-breathing camel, wake up!"

"Phew~" Seeing that the charm had worked, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. This can be over now. This fire-breathing camel is even more difficult to deal with than the fire dinosaur. Fortunately, I am more skilled.

Ye Feng exchanged glances with Kirullian and nodded slightly twice.

Kirlia continued singing, her arms outstretched, and two dark energy orbs appeared in her palms.

"This is... a Shadow Ball, isn't it?"

"It is indeed a shadow ball, but the question is why it can use two at the same time?"

The appearance of the two Shadow Balls caused another stir in the crowd. What's up with this rookie trainer?

"It's over." Ye Feng snapped his fingers.

Zhuo Fei's pupils suddenly contracted.

Kirlia vanished from its spot and reappeared in front of Camerupt the next instant. Then, with a push of its small hand, two Shadow Balls were firmly pressed onto Camerupt's face.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two explosions rang out in quick succession, and thick smoke billowed out, enveloping the two Pokémon on the field.
