"No!" Jin Yingjun screamed tragically as he watched the black sphere rapidly fly towards Super Hu Di.
He was perhaps the one on the field, besides Super Hu Di, who could most keenly feel the power of that black sphere at this moment.
In his Mega Evolved state, he had established an inexplicable connection with Super Hu Di, and it was through this connection that he felt the despair in Super Hu Di's heart in that instant.
It would die.
Yes, Hu Di would die!
That Hu Di, who had been with him from the very beginning, growing up alongside him until now, would die.
Jin Yingjun suddenly felt some regret; at this moment, he understood the feelings of that Jigglypuff just now.
If she had died, her Trainer would probably be as sad as he was now.
He seemed to have never properly considered this question before.
Since childhood, he had only one goal in his heart—to become the strongest Pokémon Trainer in the world.
To achieve this goal, he had captured many Pokémon, and ultimately, the six Pokémon that accompanied him to this day were these.
These were the Pokémon that had been with him the longest.
For a long time, he thought that Pokémon were nothing more than tools, tools to help him become the world's number one Trainer.
But he didn't know when, his attitude towards Pokémon seemed to have changed somewhat.
A Li's lineup had many flaws; almost all tactical masters had told him this, and had countless times urged him to change his lineup.
However, he still persisted until now.
He himself was not entirely clear about the reasons.
He thought it was his obsession, and others thought so too, until this moment, he realized that it was not an obsession, but the bond between him and his Pokémon.
Because there was affection and a bond, he would not abandon his Pokémon to blindly pursue so-called scientific tactics.
He never believed that his Pokémon were inferior to other Pokémon.
Attribute? Lineup? Tactics?
What did those things even matter?
If A Li could stand at the pinnacle of the world with these few Pokémon, why couldn't he?
So, Hu Di, you must survive!
"Hu Di!" Jin Yingjun cried out in despair.
As this cry emerged, the small black sphere flying towards Super Hu Di suddenly deviated from its original trajectory, tilting slightly upwards.
It was this millimeter of deviation that caused the small black sphere to graze past Super Hu Di's head.
The small black sphere flew into the sky.
With a loud bang, in an instant, the sky, which had been clear, seemed to be swallowed by darkness.
All the light seemed to be absorbed by the giant Dark Void that formed in the sky.
Clouds, colors, and even space itself, were annihilated in that instant.
Immediately, a blinding flash of light swept through, and the giant Dark Void vanished in the blink of an eye.
The sky returned to blue, but the clouds that had previously covered the Star Arena suddenly disappeared.
Everything around was silent; the explosion just now seemed to have swallowed even the sound.
The people inside the venue seemed to have waited a long time before hearing the familiar sound of the wind.
Extreme silence was followed by extreme eruption.
"OMG!!! What was that just now?"
"It was Gardevoir, right? If I'm not mistaken, it should be Gardevoir, right?"
"It actually just threw the Star Core Collapse back so effortlessly?"
"So cool! That kind of power! If that had hit Hu Di, Hu Di would have been dead!"
"Is that still a power that Pokémon can possess?"
...
Not only were the audience below the stage in an uproar, but the most shocked were the Champion Trainers sitting on the stage.
Everyone's faces were frozen with one expression—solemnity.
"Did you see that? What kind of power was that?" Eddie, the team leader from the United States, asked with a deep frown.
"That kind of power, I'm afraid Austan couldn't even achieve it," Adams murmured.
"That has already surpassed the power that mortals can control," Eddie's eyes even began to show a hint of fanaticism, "I originally thought that the Champion's power was the limit, but I didn't expect that there was even power beyond a Champion!"
"The power of gods, the legendary Pokémon! I think only they can possess that kind of power!" Adams said.
Similar conversations were happening almost simultaneously in various countries.
Only the Trainers from China mostly maintained calm expressions.
"That guy made a move, didn't he?" Yan Jin said lightly.
"Definitely, that Jigglypuff is his. Being bullied like that, not instantly killing that Hu Di is already considered great mercy," Zhang Yi chuckled.
"After retiring for a few years, his temper has indeed improved a lot," Guan Tong praised, "If this were before, how could he have let the opponent off so easily."
Qin Mo listened quietly to the conversation of the three, but a huge wave had already surged in his heart: "Is the person you are talking about A Li?"
Yan Jin nodded and said, "That's right, that Gardevoir just now was also his. How about it? Seeing this kind of power, do you still have the desire to challenge?"
Qin Mo took a deep breath, a hint of fanaticism appearing in his eyes: "The power I want to challenge is precisely this kind of power."
"Not bad!" Yan Jin nodded in approval, "You weren't scared away. I'm a little looking forward to your match."
The battle on the combat stage had ended.
Jin Yingjun immediately rushed to Hu Di's side, tears streaming down his face. Like a child, he buried himself in Hu Di's embrace, crying tears of joy: "That's great, you're still alive."
Gardevoir looked at Jin Yingjun and Hu Di, and couldn't help but sigh.
She ultimately chose to spare Hu Di, and it was ultimately because of her telepathy that, in that last instant, she felt the bond between Hu Di and Jin Yingjun.
What's more, Hu Di is Hu Di after all. The reason Gardevoir was able to cultivate to her current state is largely thanks to Mu Li's Hu Di.
In whatever sense, Mu Li's Hu Di can be considered Gardevoir's teacher.
Facing Hu Di again, Gardevoir ultimately couldn't bring herself to kill it.
So, Gardevoir was still too kind.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Mu Li stopped the few Pokémon that were secretly restless.
If it had been Hatterene, even if the opposing Hu Di didn't die, it would have been severely injured or something, not just scared like now.
Of course, things couldn't just end like that.
Gardevoir did not disappear directly; instead, she floated in the center of the battle arena.
The host immediately understood and came to Gardevoir's side: "Excuse me, whose Pokémon are you?"
Gardevoir nodded slightly to the host, and the next moment, an incredibly gentle female voice resounded in the hearts of everyone present: "A Li asked me to greet everyone on his behalf."
