So I'm a sheep.

"Haruko, is this all you've got?"

"Hmph, I was just afraid of accidentally hurting you badly earlier, now is the time to get serious!"

Gritting her teeth, Haruko shouted, "Quickly slay the mantis! Use your kick attack!"

The blade flashed, and the mantis's thick hind legs instantly kicked the little girl's body.

Oh?

Sasha showed an interested expression; this kick was child's play for her.

But when the praying mantis kicked, the little girl noticed something interesting.

Haruko's mental energy was somewhat depleted, and at the same time, the mantis's explosive power suddenly increased significantly.

'...'

'Oh, upon closer inspection, each trainer and their Pokémon have a stable psychic connection.'

Sasha pondered for a while and figured out quite a few things.

Humans can stimulate elves to unleash their potential by expending their mental energy, which should allow them to discover many unique 'secret techniques'.

'The mental channels are stable, which is probably because these humans are all advanced trainers.'

Advanced trainers have a stable mental channel, but this is not necessarily the case for intermediate and beginner trainers.

A stable mental channel ensures that no mental energy is wasted, maximizing the stimulation of a spirit's potential.

A less stable mental pathway certainly won't have this effect.

Even if you command two identical Pokémon in a battle, an advanced trainer will easily defeat a beginner or intermediate trainer.

.........................................

The elf was exhausted, yet she seemed to be lost in thought?

The two are worlds apart in strength, there's really no need to continue fighting.

Haruko bit her lip, about to give up, when she heard the spirit suddenly say, "Where's your ultimate move?"

"Use a lot of mental energy to unleash a profound technique and show me."

Damn it, how dare they look down on me!

"Quickly kill the mantis!"

Under Sasha's watchful gaze, Haruko's mental power erupted.

"Use the ultimate technique—Magic Slash!"

'call out!'

A violent whooshing sound suddenly rang out and then abruptly disappeared, only to be seen as the little girl blocked its magical slash with a single finger.

'This sudden outburst could threaten the archangel... hmm, so-so.'

Volume 1: Chapter 380 Occupation

"I lost..."

Disappointed, Haruko handed the badge that represented her victory over the Blue Gym to the little girl and quietly stepped aside.

As soon as she stepped down, a new trainer stepped forward.

"Now it's my turn, elf, I'll challenge you!"

"It should be my turn. I was the first one to arrive."

"I'm the oldest, let me go!"

Although the little girl's performance was amazing, there are few all-around elves in this world.

With incredibly strong physical defense, can you withstand attacks from poison, lightning, and sound waves?

"..."

Sasa felt very strange looking at these trainers who showed no sign of backing down.

Generally speaking, when a strange and powerful 'elf' enters the city, shouldn't you be so excited as to challenge her one by one?

'I'm not scared at all. Is it because I look too kind?'

"Haruko"

"Eh"

Surprised that the fairy would talk to her, Haruko Sugawara instinctively looked at the little girl.

"Didn't you even consider the possibility that I might harm humans?"

"It's alright, all trainers have protective suits, at most we'll just get a minor injury."

After casually answering Sasha's question, Haruko's face stiffened.

This...this is a telekinetic ability?

She broke through the defenses!?

"So he had something to rely on."

Seeing Haruko's stiff expression, the little girl smiled.

Just now, when she activated her power, Haruko's outer garment instantly released a protective force field to shield her.

The strength of this protective force field is truly impressive; even veteran archangels would find it difficult to penetrate it.

but......

"Why didn't your protective suit work when I bounced that Poké Ball back?"

"If the level of danger is not determined to be high enough, the protective suit will naturally not be activated."

"Oh, so who determines the level of danger, you?"

"Of course, it's automatically determined by the hazard assessment program loaded on the protective suit..."

As she spoke, a look of fear appeared on Haruko's face.

"You're manipulating my mind! You've breached the final defense?"

.........................................

"She's a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. After we worked together to defeat her, we quickly reported the situation to the Pokémon League!"

Haruko's shout caused the atmosphere to change drastically; a pseudo-legendary Pokémon could easily break through the protective force field of the protective suit.

In other words, the lives of all the trainers present were no longer guaranteed.

After skillfully creating a considerable distance between themselves and the little girl, the trainers released all the Pokémon they were carrying.

"I'll take overall command, and we'll unleash our ultimate techniques together!"

Haruko stared intently at the motionless angel: "Kill her in one fell swoop, don't even think about capturing her in the chaos."

"Even if we capture such a powerful spirit, we won't be able to protect it."

Many trainers looked disappointed after hearing Haruko's words.

Indeed, this Angel-level Elite Four trainer is worth considering, but they should just forget about it.

"The tag-team battle suddenly turned into a brawl?"

"Never mind, it doesn't matter anyway."

Sasha said with a smile, "Let's start fighting quickly. If we defeat you, I'll take over Jinshui City without hesitation."

"You, an elf, want to take over a city?"

"Don't even think about it. If you don't want to get beaten up, I advise you to leave now!"

"I originally wanted it to end peacefully, but reality wouldn't allow it."

"If that's the case, let's try a different approach..."

Before Sasha could speak, Haruko made a strange gesture behind her back, and the group of trainers immediately understood and unleashed their strongest techniques.

"Destructive Sonic Wave!"

"One million volts!"

"Aurora Destruction Fist!"

"Death Strike!"

......................................

'Already suppressed in strength, now suddenly subjected to multiple arcane techniques... WHM?!'

When the dust settled, the angel appeared before everyone unharmed.

"I'm a bit pressed for time, so I can't play with you guys anymore."

As the crimson light swept across, humans and elves alike collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

"Alarm! The advanced trainer's interception attempt failed. Please..."

'Snapped'

With a snap of his fingers, the light curtain that enveloped the city, including the annoying broadcast, disappeared.

Let me see.

Walking up to Haruko, ignoring her reluctant expression, Sasa began to search her body carefully.

one two three.

There were also three Poké Balls hidden inside the clothes, two heavy and one light.

I reckon the lighter one is empty, while the other two Poké Balls contain Pokémon.

Why didn't you release the Pokémon from those two Poké Balls earlier?

"These two spirits and I haven't even gone through the adjustment period yet, let alone worked together to unleash a powerful technique. Releasing them would be useless."

Oh? An elf that hasn't gone through its break-in period.
