c176: Battle Against Jiang Cai'er! The Strongest Elite Pokémon
"Cai'er, this is the Qin Yun I mentioned before."
"I know," she replied calmly, her tone already brimming with fighting intent.
[Held Item: Focus Sash]
The moment Cai'er heard Kenin mention Qin Yun's name, a distinct gleam appeared in her eyes. Clearly, she had heard about him before from both Kenin and Zhu Lin.
94,100 total battle power. This was the highest Qin Yun had encountered among elite-level Pokémon, excluding professional-tier powerhouses. He could already sense the pressure from the Aerodactyl before him.
Qin Yun squinted slightly and smirked with calm confidence.
"I'll be the referee," Kenin announced, stepping forward with a smile, glancing between the two young trainers.
"Blaziken or Gardevoir?" she asked, guessing his usual choices.
[Potential Rating: Excellent Medium Potential]
Aerodactyl emerged in a dazzling flash of light—an imposing prehistoric beast. This was no ordinary fossil revival. It was a personalized powerhouse, groomed and trained under elite standards, reaching a false S-class rating. This was her pride—an Aerodactyl trained not just by herself, but with assistance from top Breeders after becoming Kenin's disciple.
"Although this Aerodactyl was assigned to me after I became Sister Kenin's disciple," Cai'er said softly, "I've poured my heart into raising it. Even some professional-level Pokémon would fall behind it."
[Pokémon: Pikachu (Sharingan Form)]
[Typing: Electric + Fire + Psychic (Unique Mutation)]
[Species Strength: 900 (150 per stat)]
[Special Ability: Sharingan – Enhanced prediction and movement copying capabilities]
Qin Yun's eyes flickered with surprise the moment Aerodactyl appeared. This wasn't a regular battle—this was a clash against someone walking the same road as him, equally hungry for greatness.
"So that's your pride? Then I'll go with mine."
"The only Pokémon I can call upon right now… is Pikachu."
"Come on out, Aerodactyl!" Jiang Cai'er declared, releasing the flying-rock titan with a confident flourish.
Even among the gathered crowd—trainers, Gym apprentices, and students alike—murmurs filled the air when they recognized her Pokémon.
"It's Sister Cai'er's Aerodactyl!"
Qin Yun immediately assessed the situation. Though his Pikachu was only at elite junior rank, its unique mutation gave it surprising power.

Qin Yun noted the matchup. The gap in rank was considerable—but raw stats didn't tell the whole story.
"No Blaziken or Gardevoir?" Cai'er asked, eyes narrowing.
"They haven't fully awakened yet," Qin Yun replied. "For now, Pikachu is enough."
Jiang Cai'er nodded, accepting his restraint without objection. After all, she herself wasn't using her three core Pokémon. This was a fair fight—at least in spirit.
Kenin watched quietly. "You both are about the same age… Let's see what the next generation of Elite trainers is capable of."
Around them, the atmosphere buzzed with tension. More trainers gathered. Everyone knew this was no ordinary match—these were two rising stars, both with the potential to challenge the elite gym masters in the future.
In Hoenn, there were 16 major cities, each with its own gym. But only 15 of those were officially recognized as provincial capitals with high-level gyms. Defeating all 15 within three years granted the challenger a chance to face the title-holding Elites—and eventually, the champion.
The list was legendary: Littleroot, Gumei, Petalburg, Rustboro, Dewford, Slateport, Mauville, Verdanturf, Lavaridge, Fallarbor, Fortree, Lilycove, Mossdeep, Sootopolis, Pacifidlog. The final, and most guarded, was Caiyou City—the Alliance's central seat, where the Champion resided.
Only one gym per province. Only one shot at glory. To defeat any one gym leader was an accomplishment. To defeat all 15 within three years was considered near-impossible.
But Qin Yun wasn't just any challenger. His system and awakening abilities were unlike anything this world had seen.
Zhu Lin had told Jiang Cai'er that Qin Yun's potential might even exceed hers. That one day, he might sit among the elite gym masters of Hoenn—or surpass them entirely.
"You really plan to challenge the gyms?" Cai'er asked suddenly.
Qin Yun nodded. "I do."
"Then this is your first test. Let's see if your Pikachu… can stand up to my Aerodactyl."
"Then let's begin," Kenin declared.
With both trainers locked in, the battlefield crackled with anticipation.
