136: The Fusion of Two Shadow Balls! Shadow Spiral Sphere
Qin Yun was unaware that May had taken a keen interest in him.
"This Kirlia... she's unbelievably elegant," Mo Manqi remarked, momentarily distracted before snapping back to the reality of the intense battle. This was no ordinary match—it was the deciding tiebreaker between the two trainers.
Kalos League Champion Diantha, known for her unparalleled Gardevoir, stood as one of the most formidable trainers in the Pokémon world. While the young Gardevoir accompanying her merely cast a passing glance at Xiaoya, the faintest flicker of recognition flashed in its eyes before gracefully touching the ground, no longer floating as it usually did.
Qin Yun nodded and withdrew a Poké Ball.
[Strength: Elite Intermediate]
Diantha's Gardevoir seemed intrigued upon hearing Qin Yun's name, a faint smile forming on her elegant face.
"Hmm..."
"That Lurantis… something about her feels different," Mo Manqi observed, eyes narrowing.
"Wood Release: Tree Boundary Wall!"
"Senior Diantha, who commands the world's most powerful Gardevoir—I had the fortune of witnessing her battle once. The sheer strength and elegance of her Gardevoir were unparalleled. Only a select few Kirlia could ever compare to hers before evolving," someone murmured in admiration.
Qin Yun's Lurantis, while a Grass-type Pokémon, radiated an aura far beyond typical Grass-type energy. Its presence on the battlefield was commanding, and Mo Manqi, a second-tier professional trainer, could sense it clearly.
"Let's begin," she declared.
Combusken's Fire Punch in the previous round had left a lasting impression—it was refined, powerful, and executed with the precision of an experienced fighter. It wasn't just a standard move; it was a signature skill unique to Qin Yun's Combusken.
Yet, despite the impressive display, Mo Manqi remained composed. She wasn't about to interfere with Qin Yun's strategy. Instead, she would observe, letting him unfold his full potential.
[Special Ability: Immortal Mode, Wood Release]
She remained cautious, ready to have Vileplume counter if necessary.
"What an interesting opponent," she mused.
However, reaching professional-tier in Pokémon battles was far from easy. Each advancement required rigorous testing, evaluation, and approval from Pokémon League officials. The requirements were unforgiving, ensuring that only the best could ascend.
Psychic-types, in particular, were an enigma. Their trainers often developed unique strategies that were nearly impossible to predict.
Kirlia had the potential to turn the tide, but against Mo Manqi's Vileplume, the battle would not be easy.
And in just under five minutes, the inevitable happened—Combusken collapsed, unable to battle. Vileplume had proven its dominance, overwhelming the Fire-type despite the advantage.
"That level of power... from just an elite mid-tier Pokémon?" someone in the audience whispered in shock.
Qin Yun clenched his fists. He was now facing Mo Manqi at full strength, and the gap between them was undeniable.
Vileplume, having been strengthened by the battlefield conditions, thrived under its natural synergy with the environment. It wasn't just a battle—it was a demonstration of mastery over the elements.
Unlike Lurantis, which still relied on significant energy consumption, Vileplume was in peak condition, exerting only minimal effort to maintain its control.
Diantha's Gardevoir watched with an unreadable expression.
"A professional-tier Pokémon truly lives up to its name. The difference between elite-tier and professional-tier is staggering."
Through their shared telepathic connection, Qin Yun and Kirlia remained in sync.
Lurantis fought with all its might, but Vileplume was relentless. It was a battle of sheer endurance, and Lurantis was at a clear disadvantage.
Diantha took a deeper interest in Qin Yun.
She recognized that Lurantis had already reached its final evolutionary stage, yet its battle prowess suggested room for further growth.
Mo Manqi couldn't help but acknowledge it.
In the Pokémon League, few Pokémon achieved the title of "strongest" in their category—Dragonite (Lance), Metagross (Steven), Garchomp (Cynthia), and of course, Gardevoir (Diantha). Each one stood atop its respective tier, a force to be reckoned with.
As Mo Manqi predicted, two Shadow Balls—each spinning in opposite directions—materialized before Kirlia.
"A bit unexpected…"
"Fusion."
The battle raged for nearly ten minutes before Lurantis finally collapsed, unable to continue.
"Qin Yun, your Combusken was outstanding!"
"Two Shadow Balls rotating in opposite directions… What is he planning?"
"If he wants to win, Kirlia must evolve."
Vileplume had endured both Combusken and Lurantis, leaving it fatigued but still standing. The gap between professional-tier and elite-tier was undeniable.
Had the Shadow Spiral Sphere succeeded, it might have been a game-changer.
A beam of red light enveloped Lurantis as it returned to its Poké Ball.
Qin Yun knew that Lurantis was his strongest Pokémon at the moment.
[Ability: Singing Opposition]
The Shadow Fusion was no ordinary combination—every detail mattered: angle, speed, rotation, and timing.
Mo Manqi recalled Kirlia's previous Shadow Ball experiment.
"Lurantis is down! Vileplume wins the fourth round, and the tiebreaker is now set!"
"Senior Diantha's Gardevoir?"
For Pokémon like Dragonite, Metagross, and Garchomp, their dominance was undisputed.
Mo Manqi's appreciation for Qin Yun grew.
The Dragon Kingdom's Pokémon League housed some of the most prestigious trainers, each one a legend in their own right.
Even among top trainers, few Pokémon stood out the way Qin Yun's team did.
If the rooftop exploded, Qin Yun would be at a loss. Testing such moves required extreme caution.
Jiang Hongxuan smiled.
"If I'm lucky, I'd love to see it in action."
The unique nature of Qin Yun's battle style fascinated Mo Manqi.
The type advantage wasn't enough—Vileplume's raw power exceeded all expectations.
"Qin Yun, you've got this!" Xiaoya cheered.
Mo Manqi studied him intently.
What was it about this Lurantis that made it so special?
[Skills: X-Scissor, Synthesis, Growth, Leafage, Solar Blade, Slash, Toxic, Sunny Day, Leaf Storm, Aromatherapy, Petal Blizzard]
"The battlefield is shifting…"
Qin Yun had extraordinary talent, stronger than many had anticipated.
Xiaoya shuddered. Psychic-types were not to be underestimated.
As the two Shadow Balls merged, the battle took a drastic turn.
"Lurantis?"
[Type: Grass]
[Overall Strength: 39,100]
Qin Yun realized the gap wasn't just about type advantages—it was about sheer power.
Lurantis' mastery of "Fairy Mode" was evolving.
Mo Manqi observed Kirlia closely.
"Is he really attempting that move?"
"It's not just a Kirlia—it's something more."
Even though Kirlia had battled before, its presence was captivating.
"For my second Pokémon—Lurantis, you're up!"
Green energy surged through Lurantis, its body glowing with mystical markings.
This was the final match. The winner would claim victory in the entire battle.
If Mo Manqi could refine her technique, she might reach third-tier professional level.
For the first time, Qin Yun felt an overwhelming disadvantage.
She wanted to understand how Qin Yun trained his Pokémon—how they reached such potential.
Mo Manqi had faith in Vileplume, but even she acknowledged Qin Yun's unique approach.
"Wood Release: Great Forest Hands!"
This battle would push both trainers to their limits.
Lurantis' potential was quasi-epic, making it Qin Yun's strongest Pokémon in overall stats.
Xiaoya shivered at the presence of the Gardevoir girl—there was something unsettling about her gaze.
This was the moment of truth.
"The battle begins!"
