Chapter 189: Blaziken and Lurantis Take Credit
"The players on both sides are in place, and the game begins."
As the three-minute countdown ended, the referees entered the field and signaled the start.
One referee stepped forward and announced,
"Each side, summon two Pokémon. When both of one trainer's Pokémon lose the ability to battle, the opponent wins."
"Come out, Shuckle! Kabutops!"
With two flashes of light, a pair of Rock-type Pokémon appeared in front of Qin Yun.

Their synergy—one defensive, the other offensive—was well-structured. It was easy to see why Li Xing was confident.
Qin Yun glanced at them and shook his head.
"Unfortunately for him, he ran into me."
"Come out, Lurantis and Blaziken."
He chose two Pokémon whose typings normally wouldn't synergize Grass and Fire but these two were special. They had their own pride... and rivalry.

Qin Yun looked over their stats and smirked. "Li Xing doesn't stand a chance."
"The battle begins!"
The referee raised his arm, signaling the start of the match.
Li Xing's confidence swelled. He thought the girl beside him was watching—maybe she was even impressed.
"I'll win this in style and claim victory... and the goddess's favor!"
If Qin Yun or Jiang Cai'er heard his thoughts, they would've facepalmed.
---
"Shuckle, draw their attacks. Kabutops, wait for an opening and use Stone Edge!"
Li Xing's strategy wasn't bad for a typical doubles format—defend with Shuckle, strike hard with Kabutops.
Meanwhile, Qin Yun was casual.
"Lurantis, block the Stone Edge with Forest's Grasp. Blaziken… do whatever you want."
With a battle this one-sided, he didn't even need to issue full commands.
---
Lurantis and Blaziken exchanged a glare. Their personalities clashed.
Before battle even began, Lurantis refused to activate her "Fairy Mode," instead stomping the ground as massive vines burst forth, aiming for the incoming Stone Edge.
Blaziken, annoyed, stomped hard.
Shave.
He vanished with a blur of flames and appeared ahead of Lurantis' vines—intercepting the Stone Edge directly.
Boom!
The jagged stones dissolved in the raging flames before even making contact with his body. They didn't pierce—they were incinerated.
But…
The vines from Lurantis didn't stop in time and slammed into Blaziken.
Flames burst out violently.
The vines began to catch fire.
---
Li Xing was stunned.
What just happened?
First, he barely saw Blaziken move—it was that fast.
Then his Stone Edge was... erased?
And now, the Lurantis' own vines were catching fire?
He blinked.
"What the hell are they doing?"
---
Blaziken turned and gave Lurantis a look. "Don't interfere. I've got this."
Lurantis' eyes narrowed. She didn't appreciate the attitude.
She activated Fairy Mode. Her gaze sharpened, glowing green light surrounding her. Her aura pulsed with power.
"You dare look down on me? Lan Tang!"
She stomped again. The arena trembled. Vines surged from the earth, swirling with leaves and gleaming energy.
