"Wishiwashi? School Form?"
Nancy looked down at the Wishiwashi in her hand.
Who could have thought that such a weak Pokémon could unleash such powerful destructive force?
Just now, that attack definitely exceeded what a Gym Leader Level Pokémon should possess, even stronger than a regular Elite Candidate Level Pokémon.
This is why Natsuhiko didn't want to provoke the Wishiwashi.
It seems there are quite a few Wishiwashi in this lake.
If they had provoked the Wishiwashi in the water earlier, who knows what unpredictable situation might have occurred.
But is Nancy someone who listens to Natsuhiko?
That wouldn't be Nancy.
Her eyes showed a curious expression, and with a surge of psychic ability, she wrapped the Wishiwashi in a ghostly green psychic aura.
And then.
The Wishiwashi stopped calling its companions.
Under the influence of this strange power, it gradually became a doll.
Nancy gained a new collectible.
And clipped it to her waist.
Looking at this scene, the Bewear tilted its head, glanced at its fluffy body, and then at the Wishiwashi doll at Nancy's waist.
It fell into deep thought.
Her actions thoroughly enraged the Wishiwashi in the water.
Boom!!
A terrifying massive column of water shot out from the surface.
Wishiwashi directly used the Water-type Technique "Water Cannon"!
The surging water was compressed into a certain range, with extremely terrifying impact.
Nancy infused her psychic power into Espeon, drastically boosting its momentum.
Psychic power surged forth.
Illusionary Beam!
However.
Espeon's own strength wasn't that strong, only Gym Leader Level. Even with Nancy's psychic help, it was hard to bridge such a large power gap and counter the Wishiwashi school's "Water Cannon."
Ultimately, the result was.
Espeon got blasted away by "Water Cannon."
Surprised by this result, even Nancy felt unexpected.
She's not one who enjoys Pokémon battles.
Think about it.
If things can be solved directly with her psychic ability, why rely on Pokémon and battles?
Moreover, Nancy is quite young, having spent little time training Pokémon, so their strength isn't very high.
Furthermore.
Espeon doesn't seem to have evolved for long, with limited mastery of its abilities.
Natsuhiko furrowed his brows.
"Espeon alone is not enough. Don't you have other Pokémon?"
"Didn't bring any."
Natsuhiko: "..."
Nancy, quite straightforward, replied boldly.
But the point is.
If you didn't bring any, why provoke them in the first place?
With Espeon blasted away, the next to face the attack would be Nancy herself!
Splash—
The massive Wishiwashi school again rose from the water, charging directly at Nancy.
Suicide Rush!
Witnessing this, Nancy unusually displayed panic.
She hastily erected a psychic defense.
Bam!!!
The result was naturally unsurprising; Nancy got blasted away too.
Though she wasn't injured, her psychic power remained strong.
But no matter how strong, there's still a limit.
And considering that Nancy is still young, still developing, far from her peak strength.
Most importantly, to utilize the maximum power of a Superpower User, they need to integrate with a Psychic-type Pokémon.
After all, Superpower Users themselves don't possess techniques; only Pokémon do.
Clearly, Nancy, who thought too highly of herself, along with her Espeon, provoked something they shouldn't have.
Blasted away, Nancy used her psychic ability to keep herself from hitting the ground.
Yet her hair had already risen.
She was angry.
Beside her, Espeon staggered up.
Snap—
Nancy placed her palm on Espeon, continuously injecting psychic power into it.
The infused psychic power exceeded what Espeon could handle.
Espeon showed a pained expression but persevered, its eyes full of determination.
Its original aura soared from Gym Leader Level to Elite Candidate Level.
Just like it opened a cheat.
Witnessing this, Natsuhiko's brows furrowed.
Honestly.
Natsuhiko felt somewhat repelled by this scene.
Though he admired Nancy's psychic power, actions like these clearly didn't prioritize Espeon's safety.
"That's enough. Espeon is reaching its limit," Natsuhiko couldn't help but shout.
Her response was Nancy's fiery glare.
Young in age, yet her temper wasn't small.
But this time, Natsuhiko didn't indulge her.
Because he realized that the current Nancy still had significant room for growth compared to the Nancy he remembered, so there was no need to be intimidated.
He's witnessed Jade Liya losing control; why fear an underage Nancy?
So he glared back firmly.
Startled by his tough glare, Nancy's expression showed surprise.
Then she heard Natsuhiko say, "Now, put the Wishiwashi doll back."
"No way!" Nancy turned her head.
Natsuhiko curled his lips.
A troublemaker.
Then, with Bewear, he strode toward her.
Seeing Natsuhiko and Bewear advancing aggressively, Nancy swung her arm, sending a psychic attack toward Natsuhiko.
Attacking at the slightest disagreement.
But Natsuhiko wasn't alone.
Bewear swatted her psychic attack away with a paw.
Most of her psychic power was given to Espeon, posing little threat.
Seeing her trainer launch an attack, Espeon tightened its face, the ruby on its forehead glowing, locking a Mental Shock on Natsuhiko.
