Pokédex Entry: Gardevoir, known for its unwavering loyalty, will create a small black hole with its psychic energy if its Trainer is in danger.
The first-order professional-level Gardevoir possessed immense potential, and its attributes were formidable. It was easily the strongest Pokémon Qin Yun had encountered so far.
[Gardevoir's Base Stats]
HP: 18,910
Attack: 9,801
Defense: 9,102
Special Attack: 29,012
Special Defense: 25,910
Speed: 21,029
Total: 113,764
Its Special Attack was nearing 30,000—an astounding number.
Qin Yun glanced at his own Kirlia, comparing its stats.
[Kirlia's Base Stats]
HP: 4,601
Attack: 3,127
Defense: 4,501
Special Attack: 10,001
Special Defense: 7,802
Speed: 7,181
Total: 37,813
The difference in their overall power was almost threefold. However, once Kirlia evolved, it would likely reach a similar level.
Realizing this, Qin Yun put away his pride—there were plenty of strong trainers in the world.
"Your Gardevoir is beautiful," he complimented.
"Thanks," the trainer replied.
After a brief exchange, they both returned to their own activities, but neither would forget the encounter.

Qin Yun focused on his training before the upcoming Gym Challenge.
"Let's keep it simple—getting comfortable with Shinra Tensei and the Shadow Spiral Ball should be the goal for today."
He practiced for a while before heading back to distribute the items he acquired yesterday.
He decided that Larvitar would receive the Shaking Fruit when he returned.

As the clock neared eight, Qin Yun made his way to Yurong Gym for his battle.
It was a Sunday morning, and the streets were quiet, with most people enjoying their day off.
When he arrived at the Yurong Gym, Xiaoya was already waiting.
"Qin Yun, you're here!" She beamed with excitement.
"I hope I didn't keep you waiting."
"No, not at all! It's still early."
She hesitated for a moment before pulling out a bento box, her cheeks turning slightly pink.
"Have you eaten breakfast yet? If not… you can try this."
Qin Yun wasn't dense—he understood the gesture immediately.
In the Pokémon anime, Dawn's Piplup once developed a crush on a Marill belonging to another trainer. Piplup, known for being easily smitten, immediately tried to protect Marill from an Elekid that enjoyed teasing her. But Elekid knocked Piplup out effortlessly.
When Piplup recovered, the others reassured him that he was at a type disadvantage. But Dawn saw an opportunity and encouraged Piplup to use this as motivation to impress Marill.
Piplup then fantasized about heroically defeating Elekid and winning Marill's affection, igniting his fighting spirit.
But Brock noticed something else—Elekid was only pretending to attack Marill.
"Some boys like to tease the girls they secretly like," Brock observed.
Ash, ever oblivious, argued, "Maybe Elekid's aim is just bad?"
The group was left speechless.

Back in the present, Qin Yun knew Xiaoya's gesture was meaningful, so he accepted.
"That's perfect—I actually haven't eaten yet."
Xiaoya lit up with joy. "Really? That's great!"
She eagerly opened the bento box.
Inside was an impressive spread: sandwiches, soufflés, fresh juice, and an assortment of neatly arranged fruit slices.
Qin Yun was genuinely impressed. "Wow, Xiaoya, you're really talented."
"Go ahead, try it!" she said with a bright smile.
He took a bite of a sandwich—the flavors were rich, the balance of ingredients was perfect. His eyes widened slightly.
"This is delicious. Honestly, the best sandwich I've ever had."
Xiaoya beamed with pride. "I'm glad you like it! You can have all of it if you want."
She had woken up early to prepare this for him and watching him enjoy it made her morning.
"Are you going to eat, too?" Qin Yun asked.
"No, I already had breakfast," Xiaoya replied.

At that moment, Mo Manqi and Jiang Hongxuan arrived, smirking as they saw them together.
Qin Yun remained unfazed, but Xiaoya turned bright red, looking down in embarrassment.
"Master Mo, looks like today's battle will be interesting," Jiang Hongxuan teased.
Mo Manqi sighed, though she didn't seem thrilled.
She had no issue with Qin Yun—his talent was undeniable, and his character seemed solid.
However, his talent was too dazzling.
Her daughter was outstanding, but there would always be strong competitors for Qin Yun's attention. Would Xiaoya be able to handle that?
As a parent, her biggest wish was for her daughter to be happy.
"I just want her to find someone who will cherish her," Mo Manqi thought.
She sighed inwardly. Maybe I shouldn't have let her join the Yurong Team Battle Tournament…
---
"Qin Yun, come inside," Mo Manqi called out.
"Regardless of whether you defeat me today, I've already decided to award you the Gym Badge—your strength is deserving of it."
However, she wasn't going to go easy on him.
"To make this challenge more meaningful, I'll be using my first-team Pokémon."
Qin Yun's eyes sharpened.
This meant he would be facing Yurong Gym's most elite Pokémon.
The difficulty had just skyrocketed.
But that only made things more exciting.
