153 Both Lose, Blaziken Exhausted
Onix's head gleamed ominously as it prepared its next strike.
Qin Yun's eyes sharpened with focus. He knew Blaziken couldn't afford to take this hit. If struck, she would likely be knocked out immediately.
"Blaziken!"
Qin Yun's voice was calm but firm. Blaziken nodded slightly; she, too, sensed the immense danger emanating from Onix.
Onix lunged forward.
Its speed was impressive but not unbeatable. However, the earlier Rock Tomb had limited Blaziken's movement, leaving only one direction to escape—forward.
"This is just like before. First, he traps the opponent, then finishes them off in one blow."
"It's a familiar scene!"
Spectators who had previously suffered defeats at Qin Yun's hands couldn't help but clench their fists in anticipation. They wanted to see Qin Yun experience the feeling of an instant defeat.
Yet, both Qin Yun and Blaziken stood their ground, waiting.
To outsiders, their stillness looked like hesitation—fear even.
"Qin Yun's nerves still need work."
Only Kenin watched him closely, sensing something different. Qin Yun wasn't frozen in fear; he was strategizing.
"What's his plan?"
Onix's attack closed in—mere centimeters away.
Then, simultaneously, Qin Yun's and Blaziken's eyes lit up, their energies aligning perfectly in that moment.
"Elementalize!"
A deafening boom echoed across the battlefield.
Countless rock fragments flew through the air as two massive stones shattered into pieces upon impact. If not for the battle stage's guardrails, the debris might have reached the audience.
"Is it over?"
Many believed Blaziken had succumbed to the sheer force of Onix's attack.
Then, they saw fire.
"…?"
A towering pillar of flames erupted from the battlefield.
Fiery waves radiated outward, enveloping the arena as though it had been cast into a furnace.
The audience jumped to their feet in astonishment.
"Fire?"
"Blaziken is still standing?!"
The ground trembled violently.
The collision of broken rocks and the burning flames obscured the battlefield, making it difficult to see the combatants. However, the intensity of the ongoing fight was undeniable.
Zhu Lin and Qin Yun relied on their Pokémon's senses to gauge the battle's progress.
Shock filled Zhu Lin's expression—how had Blaziken dodged Onix's attack?
Kenin, perhaps the only other person to understand what had happened, was also surprised. She had seen it clearly—Onix's attack had passed through Blaziken as if she had transformed into pure fire energy.
"Has Blaziken mastered fire's essence?"
"Or is this a special transformation?"
Kenin's curiosity grew. Qin Yun's abilities were shrouded in mystery, and she wanted to unravel them one by one.
"Fascinating."
"If Qin Yun's final Pokémon is just as unique, he might have a real chance at victory."
Blaziken and Onix continued clashing, yet Kenin could tell that Blaziken wasn't Onix's equal in raw power. She was keeping up only because Onix's offensive capabilities weren't its strongest asset, and Zhu Lin hadn't yet found an effective counter.
If the battle dragged on, Blaziken would eventually fall.
Onix's durability was monstrous, while Blaziken's attacks lacked the raw power to deliver a finishing blow.
The battlefield remained cloaked in dust and fire.
Qin Yun frowned—he had underestimated Onix's endurance. Blaziken had no easy path to victory.
"If that's the case, we'll have to use that move."
Blaziken had recently learned Flare Blitz, but her proficiency with it was still lacking.
With more time, Qin Yun would have preferred Blaziken to master the technique in training rather than testing it in battle. However, time was not a luxury they had.
"Onix, use Earthquake!"
Zhu Lin steadied herself, still shaken by Blaziken's resilience.
Winning had seemed inevitable.
Yet now, her Onix struggled to gain the upper hand.
Although she was confident in victory, she realized it wouldn't be as effortless as she had assumed.
"If this Blaziken reaches peak elite level, it could defeat my Onix."
"What a monster."
Zhu Lin muttered before glancing at Kenin. After all, Kenin had defeated professional-level Pokémon while still at the elite level. She was a monster in her own right.
The battlefield shook violently as Onix unleashed Earthquake.
Blaziken staggered from the impact, taking direct damage.
"Blaziken, use Flare Blitz! But replace its flames with the power of the Burning Fruit. Give it everything you've got!"
"No holding back."
Blaziken understood—victory was unlikely. The best she could do was secure an advantage for her teammates.
Her movements accelerated as flames encircled her.
"Onix, use Iron Tail!"
Zhu Lin sensed danger in Blaziken's attack and commanded a counter.
Onix swung its tail, its steel-clad edge aiming straight for Blaziken.
At the last moment, Blaziken transformed again.
Onix's Iron Tail passed harmlessly through her fire-infused form, striking the ground instead and sending embers flying.
Blaziken reappeared atop Onix.
The flames from Flare Blitz concentrated into her fist.
"Fire Punch!"
Blaziken poured every ounce of her strength into a single devastating blow. This wasn't just a physical attack—it fused raw power with special attack energy.
Boom!
The fiery punch connected, engulfing Onix in flames.
Onix hissed in agony as the fire scorched its body, leaving it blackened.
"Onix!"
Zhu Lin's concern was evident. But as the flames died down, Onix remained standing—albeit heavily weakened.
"Onix, finish it with Earthquake."
Zhu Lin sighed. Blaziken had exceeded her expectations.
Qin Yun swiftly recalled Blaziken before the attack could land. The price for withdrawing a Pokémon mid-battle was that it couldn't be used again.
The battlefield trembled as Onix's Earthquake shook the arena.
"The second match is over! Blaziken is unable to battle—Onix wins!"
"Qin Yun, send out your next Pokémon!"
Kenin glanced at Qin Yun with admiration. That final punch was formidable, shocking even for an elite-level Pokémon.
"Blaziken, you were amazing."
"Now, it's their turn."
"Come out, Gardevoir!"

Gardevoir's form shimmered as she materialized onto the battlefield, her presence exuding an undeniable strength.
The audience fell silent.
"So beautiful…"
"Wait… Wasn't Qin Yun's third Pokémon supposed to be Lurantis?"
"Why… Why is it Gardevoir?"
Rustboro's trainers swallowed hard, realization dawning upon them.
Qin Yun had four Pokémon. And if even his weakest, Lurantis, had been strong enough to defeat them…
A Can sighed in resignation. He had been skeptical before, but now he was convinced.
Qin Yun's strength was monstrous.
"Only another monster could be Qin Yun's equal."
