Accompanied by a red Shinny, Sirfetch'd appeared before everyone, holding its sword and shield.
On the other hand, Mu Li made no sound, and Gardevoir's figure gradually emerged from its transparent state, appearing before everyone.
At this appearance, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"Oh my, that Gardevoir..."
"What should I do? I'm getting goosebumps."
"I keep recalling what happened this morning; what should I do..."
...
Among everyone, Jin Yingjun's face had turned completely pale; Gardevoir had left an indelible shadow in his heart.
The symptoms of this Gardevoir PTSD would likely never heal.
"Let's begin, Qin Mo." Mu Li's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his voice became faint, as if he had instantly transformed into a different person.
This was Mu Li in his battle state.
Fu Peiyao watched the familiar yet strange Mu Li from afar, and suddenly felt a soul-deep tremor, which was not fear, but a kind of excitement and thrill.
That's right, that was his true self.
Completely different from his usual carefree state, Mu Li at this moment seemed enveloped in a soaring sharpness, with an aura of looking down upon the world emanating from his eyes.
No one could rival him.
"Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes! It's that look!"
"My goodness! Just seeing that look is enough to give me goosebumps all over!"
"Good heavens! This man is still so captivating!"
...
At this moment, everyone seemed to return to five years ago, to the days when Mu Li was still on the competition stage.
As soon as Mu Li appeared, no matter where, all venues became his home ground.
All the spectators were calling his name.
All eyes were focused on him.
This was his charisma!
Although most people didn't know his appearance, just this one look was enough to make opponents drop their weapons and surrender.
Qin Mo had never imagined that a person could change so much; only then did he realize a truth—to be this man's opponent was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
A genius?
The title of 'genius' could only barely give you the courage to meet my gaze.
The moment he met Mu Li's gaze, he realized that this statement was truly not an exaggeration.
Some people could truly kill their opponents with just a single glance.
Qin Mo took a deep breath, his eyes also becoming sharper, a faint emerald green light beginning to emerge in their depths: "But I am not that kind of coward!"
As if sensing something, Sirfetch'd, who had been resting with his eyes closed on the field, suddenly opened them wide.
At this moment, his gaze seemed to overlap with Qin Mo's.
Their gazes were firmly Lock-On to one target—Gardevoir.
That Pokémon, with a waist like a swaying willow, looked so delicate that it seemed even a gust of wind could blow her over.
But only Sirfetch'd and Qin Mo knew how terrifying the aura emanating from the opponent was at that moment.
Unrivaled!
Just a glance, and the thought suddenly arose in the hearts of Sirfetch'd and Qin Mo.
The terrifying aura was like a towering mountain, pressing down on the man and Pokémon, making them breathless.
Everyone watched this scene with wide eyes.
The battle had begun, but neither side made any move.
However, everyone could already see the pressure on Sirfetch'd and Qin Mo.
At this moment, Qin Mo suddenly found himself back in the Dragon God's Ruins.
All around were ruins, mist filled the entire space, and he stood in this space, not knowing where to go.
Just as he was in utter despair, a pair of crimson eyes suddenly appeared behind him.
"Follow your heart." An ancient and sacred voice appeared in his mind.
The moment this voice appeared, a emerald green light slowly coiled along Qin Mo's left arm.
Qin Mo's pupils constricted; all the illusions before his eyes dissipated, and he once again saw that figure resembling a green willow.
"Now! Sirfetch'd! Meteor Assault!"
Qin Mo's gaze and Sirfetch'd's overlapped again; in both their eyes, there was only that one figure.
Without any response, Sirfetch'd, at the same moment Qin Mo gave the command, charged towards Gardevoir like a white Meteor Assault.
He held his longsword and shield, his body already integrated with his weapons.
Enduring the suffocating pressure, he was like a sharp blade, disregarding all obstacles, piercing towards the target before him.
An emerald green light enveloped his entire body like flames, and the leek longsword tore through the air, emitting bursts of whistling.
The distance between them was only twenty meters, and in this short distance, Sirfetch'd transformed from extreme stillness to extreme motion.
He concentrated all of his and Qin Mo's will, transforming it into the power of this single strike.
He charged towards the god-like Gardevoir.
The twenty-meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye, Sirfetch'd striking Gardevoir like a green comet.
But what was puzzling was that facing Sirfetch'd with such momentum, Gardevoir seemed to have no reaction at all.
As Sirfetch'd's longsword was about to strike, Gardevoir slightly raised her right hand, extended a finger, and lightly touched the tip of Sirfetch'd's longsword.
This touch was as if she was playing with water.
Accompanying this gentle touch, a ripple slowly spread from Gardevoir's fingertip.
In this instant, time and space seemed to solidify, and Sirfetch'd remained motionless in mid-air.
The green energy continued to burn, but as this ripple appeared, the dense green energy on Sirfetch'd's body cracked like shattering glass.
It vanished in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.
Sirfetch'd's pupils instantly widened; at this moment, he was like a frozen duck suspended in space, his entire body bound by an unknown force.
His eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment, and the sword and shield in his hands began to tremble.
When he saw Gardevoir's pupils again, his body felt as if it had fallen into an icy abyss.
Everyone was stunned.
This Meteor Assault had no effect whatsoever, and what was even more unbelievable was that Gardevoir had used such a shocking method to stop this attack.
Sirfetch'd went from extreme stillness to extreme motion, and then back from extreme motion to extreme stillness, even solidifying in space.
All of this was so dramatic, as if they had practiced it beforehand.
Qin Mo at this moment felt as if he had missed a step, and his heart also skipped a beat.
He was frozen?
This Meteor Assault, which concentrated all of his and Sirfetch'd's willpower, was so easily frozen?
This attack didn't even have the qualification to make the opponent move a single step?
It was just so effortlessly frozen?
In this instant, what Qin Mo saw was not the figures of Mu Li and Gardevoir, but an insurmountable chasm between him and Mu Li.
Is this the gap between us?
Sirfetch'd's figure was slowly lowered from the air back to Qin Mo's side.
Mu Li's faint voice rang out: "Let them all come, otherwise, you won't even have a chance to hope for a miracle."
