089 Wins! Reward, The Power of the Aura
Pavilion Master Wu was deep in thought, searching for a way to counter Qin Yun's tactics. But then, he caught sight of Qin Yun's confident smirk, which made his heart tighten.
"Did I miss something?"
His instincts screamed at him something was off. Then, realization struck. The battlefield itself felt... unnatural.
"Toxicroak, launch Sludge Bomb directly behind you!"
Toxicroak hesitated. This wasn't an attack pattern it was familiar with, but it obeyed. It turned and launched a purple orb of toxic sludge behind it.
"So, he figured it out?"
A flicker of surprise crossed Qin Yun's face.
"Too bad it's too late, and the attack is misdirected."
The sludge bomb hit nothing but the ground, while, a few feet away, a Fomantis emerged from the twisted branches, its eyes gleaming with battle focus.
Toxicroak exhaled in relief. This Fomantis's aura wasn't as strong as expected. But then
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The two Fomantis illusions that had been battling at a distance vanished, dispersing like mist, while the Fomantis near Toxicroak pulsed with power.
"A substitution trick?!"
Wu's mind reeled. This was beyond conventional Double Team. This was akin to Zoroark's Illusion or the deception strategies seen in Sabrina's Alakazam during the Saffron Gym arc.
Toxicroak had just fired its attack, leaving it momentarily vulnerable. Meanwhile, the real Fomantis stood within striking range.
"Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!"
From beneath Toxicroak, a surge of thick, gnarled branches shot up, wrapping tightly around its limbs.
"Toxicroak, break free with Poison Jab!"
Toxicroak's powerful arm glowed with venomous energy as it slashed at the wooden bindings, but the branches didn't snap.
Wu's eyes widened.
"What?! This isn't normal wood... it's enhanced!"
This was no ordinary Grass-type move. It was as if Fomantis had fused the natural resilience of Trevenant's Forest's Curse with Tangrowth's regenerative vines.
Trapped, Toxicroak thrashed but the more it struggled, the tighter the branches coiled.
"Now Solar Blade!"
At point-blank range, the golden energy of a fully charged Solar Blade erupted in Fomantis's grasp.
Toxicroak's eyes widened in panic.
"I give up!"
Wu's voice cut through the battlefield. His jaw was tight, but his decision was clear. His Toxicroak stood no chance at this range.
The vines loosened, and Fomantis withdrew its blade, standing victorious.
"Toxicroak is unable to battle! Fomantis wins!"
"With all three of Pavilion Master Wu's Pokémon defeated, the winner of the Gym Battle is Qin Yun!"
The referee's voice rang out, followed by a stunned silence then an explosion of cheers from the audience.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for winning the Gym Challenge. You have received:]
5,000 Points

Random Baili Travel Charm
Qin Yun's lips curled into a knowing smile. Another batch of rewards!

[Item Analysis]
[Ten Years of Aura Mastery]: Grants immediate expertise in the Aura, including perception, offense, and defense.
Qin Yun's mind buzzed with possibilities. Aura the legendary power wielded by Sir Aaron's Lucario and a force even recognized by Korrina's Mega Lucario in the Kalos saga.
Not only would he gain enhanced perception, allowing him to sense movements without sight, but he'd also acquire combat applications like Aura Sphere one of the most precise, unavoidable ranged attacks.
His personal combat strength had just skyrocketed.
---
[Baili Travel Charm]: Allows instant teleportation within a 100-mile radius. Activates in 0.1 seconds. Automatically carries all of the Host's Pokémon.
Qin Yun's eyes gleamed.
Escape ability... secured.
Even if he encountered an Elite Four or a Champion-tier trainer, he could vanish before they could react.
A hundred miles was over 160 kilometers a range far beyond normal Teleport moves. Not even Sabrina's Alakazam could match this level of instant movement.

Strategic Planning
With these rewards, Qin Yun's combat abilities had transformed overnight.
But he knew better than to be reckless. Power always attracted attention.
The Pokémon world wasn't just full of cheerful trainers; it had underground organizations—Team Rocket, Team Galactic, Team Aqua & Magma—all of them would kill to obtain someone with Aura abilities.
Even the Pokémon League itself might take interest in someone suddenly displaying skills on par with Korrina's ancestral line of Aura Guardians.

Financial Status
Qin Yun quickly ran a mental check on his resources:
Pokémon Coins: 110 million
Premium Energy Cubes: 2
Advanced Energy Cubes: 250
Basic Energy Cubes: 1,100
Total Points: 19,100
After purchasing Sword Dance and covering daily expenses, he was left with less than 15,000 points.
It wasn't bad, but not enough for high-end purchases.
Qin Yun sighed. "I need more income. Training Pokémon burns money too fast."
The crowd's cheers snapped him out of his calculations.
---
Public Recognition
The stadium erupted with chants of his name.
"QIN YUN!"
"QIN YUN!!"
Although he had won multiple battles before, the sheer intensity of the audience's response caught him off guard.
Was this what Champion Red or Gold felt like during their League victories?
He smirked. "I'm not even a Celebrity, just a handsome and talented trainer."
But the reality was clear he was becoming famous.

Pavilion Master Wu's Thoughts
Master Wu approached, his expression full of respect.
"Qin Yun, this is your honor."
There was no resentment, only admiration.
"Your strength is incredible. To think you're still in high school and only three months into your trainer journey..."
He exhaled.
"For most, reaching Elite rank is a lifelong pursuit. But for you? It's just another step forward."
Wu's words carried weight.
Qin Yun wasn't just strong. He was abnormal.
A prodigy.no, a monster among trainers.
---
Final Thoughts
Qin Yun met Wu's gaze, then looked at his Fomantis, who had fought beyond expectations.
He clenched his fists.
"Elite? No... My goal is far beyond that."
He had no intention of stopping at just being an Elite Trainer.
His next step?
Become a Legend.
