Primarina!
Primarina was startled at first, then quickly dodged the leaves. She recognized them as Magical Leaf, which were hard to avoid, but such small Magical Leaf must have a trick to them.
Unfortunately, the leaves only looked small; they were actually harder to dodge than normal Magical Leaf.
Caught off guard, Primarina was hit by Magical Leaf, and a piercing pain erupted from the impact point.
The power hadn't decreased much; instead, it was incredibly painful. Primarina cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground, rubbing the affected area.
Singer!
Looking at the Singer lying on the ground in pain, Fu Ningna felt a pang of heartache. She had never seen the Singer make such an undignified move. In her memory, no matter how strong the enemy, the Singer would always stand on the field with a smile.
She had never seen the Singer collapse to the ground so ungracefully as she did today.
Yu Huijun, watching from the side, noticed the problem. Yu Feng hadn't spoken before because he was likely establishing a Psychic connection with Indeedee. He spoke afterward because the Indeedee he was connecting with had fallen asleep and he had to speak aloud; Yu Huijun would do the same.
He had also fought this Primarina before, and she hadn't even flinched when hit by his main Pokémon's Comet Punch.
It seemed this Magical Leaf had a trick to it, probably sacrificing some power for amplified pain.
That makes it interesting. It's not that no one has researched the form changes of moves, but in essence, it's all variations on a theme; most only change the form in which the move is unleashed.
But this one sacrificed some damage for an excruciating pain that even Primarina, with her excellent facial control, couldn't endure. It completely changed the essence of a skill.
Primarina!
This pain came and went quickly. Soon, Primarina stood up again, her face grim.
She didn't know what kind of bizarre Magical Leaf it was, that even she couldn't withstand the pain.
Continue to use Sleep Talk!
Of course, it wasn't that Yu Feng didn't want to directly awaken Indeedee with Psychic, but that would be too much cheating, and the opponent would have no chance. Although being able to communicate directly with Psychic was already quite abnormal.
A pink crescent moon appeared in the hands of the still-sleeping Indeedee. Moonblast blasted towards Primarina like a machine gun.
Primarina no longer held back. Her Sparkling Aria rose again and collided with Moonblast.
The bubbles and pink Moonblast canceled each other out. In the end, Primarina was still superior. The sleeping Indeedee was not as agile as when she was awake.
Indeedee was directly hit by the remaining Sparkling Aria. This time, there was no previous good luck. The hit Indeedee lay on the ground, losing her ability to battle.
That was close, that was close.
Seeing that she had finally won, Fu Ningna couldn't help but pat her meager chest with a pounding heart. Of course, Primarina's condition wasn't much better.
Looking at the panting Primarina, Fu Ningna had no doubt that if Indeedee had held on a little longer, she would have lost.
It seemed she had gotten used to bullying weaker opponents over the years, and now facing someone with similar combat power, she found herself in a predicament. She would have to train hard from now on.
A very exciting battle.
Yu Huijun walked up from the side, clapping his hands, even after learning a small amount of information about Yu Feng.
Based on the moves his Pokémon learned and the changes in their attacks, it was highly likely that he was cared for by some kind of humanoid Psychic Pokémon Family since childhood.
As for why he was so sure... looking at his Pokémon, one could roughly deduce it: Alcremie, Indeedee, Hattrem, and Kirlia. Among these, there must be a descendant of the Family that raised him.
As for why it wasn't Squirtle? That was clearly his starter Pokémon.
Kirlia can be ruled out first; such Pokémon are very rare and generally don't appear before humans. Adopting a human child doesn't seem very likely.
Alcremie can also be ruled out; she is too young.
So it's the Indeedee and Hattrem Family, or perhaps Gothitelle?
This can only be determined later if he is willing to say.
Joy hasn't arrived yet; it seems it will be a while. So what should we do?
Joy not being back yet meant that the tools they needed hadn't been prepared. So what should they do in the meantime?
Kirlia, Kirlia!
Shiny Kirlia suddenly jumped out, pointing at Yu Huijun and continuously saying something.
In Fu Ningna's opinion, she felt that Kirlia was swearing quite a lot.
Yu Feng also looked at his Lao Mei with a shocked expression, as if he hadn't expected his Lao Mei to have such a side.
After a moment of bewilderment, Yu Feng awkwardly translated his Lao Mei's meaning to Yu Huijun: "She said she wants to challenge you. She's not usually like this; I just don't know why she holds such a grudge against you."
It was more than just a grudge; if Yu Feng hadn't been there, Shiny Kirlia would have already started hitting him.
Listening to his Indeedee's translation, Yu Huijun looked puzzled. He hadn't seen this Kirlia before. So far, he had only provoked two Kirlia: one evolved into Gardevoir and was now missing, and the other was standing next to him, having become Gallade.
He hadn't even seen many regular Kirlia, let alone a Shiny one. He didn't know why this little guy had such a temper with him.
Challenging me is no problem, but I only have two Pokémon with me right now, a Gallade and an Indeedee. Who do you want to challenge?
However, even though Shiny Kirlia was swearing quite a bit, since he didn't understand it, it was as if he hadn't been sworn at. As for a challenge?
Isn't there a saying that Trainers battle when their eyes meet? It's just that he was now going to other regions, and his main Pokémon were all at his professor's lab; he only brought these two, one for daily life and one for battle.
Kirlia!
Hearing Yu Huijun agree, Shiny Kirlia pointed at Gallade without hesitation. Today, she absolutely had to teach this guy a lesson.
Gallade?
Although Gallade was puzzled as to why he was chosen, as a warrior, he would not refuse a battle. Of course, you have to ignore his tendency to stick to his Trainer during his first two stages.
Are you sure you can do it? Or maybe let her take your place?
Yu Feng was very worried about his Lao Mei. To be honest, he and his Lao Mei, for some unknown reason, couldn't evolve. Most of the Ralts born in the same batch had already reached their final evolution into Gardevoir, and a few had even reached the Elite stage.
Only the two of them remained Kirlia. He didn't know why, even with the best food and resources, and despite their levels constantly increasing, they just wouldn't evolve. It was as if something was preventing their evolution.
He himself had only taken that final step with the help of Xerneas and Ho-Oh's feathers, but his Lao Mei... "Kirlia! (No need! I want to do it myself!)"
Shiny Kirlia refused Yu Feng's kind offer, stating that she had to do this herself.
Lao Mei is exceptionally strange today... Seeing his sister's determined gaze, Yu Feng couldn't help but sigh. She was no longer that cute little one who used to lie in his arms, crying, 'Brother, I'm hungry.'
No, she was no longer that cute little one who used to lie in his arms, crying, 'Brother, I'm hungry.'
