Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"Alright, Lucario, show me how to do it." Haoyan said to Lucario.

"Luca!"

Lucario shouted and swung his arm as Haoyan had taught him.

shuh~

The sound of the wind breaking was a little quieter than Haoyan's.

"Yes, the movement is correct."

"Practice this more." Hao Yan nodded. As a Fighting-type Pokémon, Lucario has a good understanding of Fighting skills and grasps them quickly.

"Alright, let's take a look at your Lightning Fist and Flame Fist," Hao Yan continued.

"Luca!"

Lucario paused for a moment, his internal energy flowing rapidly and concentrating in his fist.

His fist instantly heated up and he swung it into the air.

Haoyan, standing to the side, could clearly feel the intense heat.

"Luca!"

Lucario solidified once more and threw a punch.

This time, there was no fiery atmosphere.

But there were some crackling sounds, which were the flashes of lightning.

"Not bad, your cultivation is quite good."

"Keep it up." Haoyan gave Lucario a thumbs up.

Lucario is not a lazy Pokémon to begin with, and with Hao Yan accompanying him during training, he is even less likely to slack off.

"Lightning Fist and Flame Fist, these two are complementary skills."

"As you use it faster and faster, you will eventually be able to use a lightning fist in your left hand and a fire fist in your right hand."

"This kind of move can catch your opponent off guard and greatly increase the damage," Hao Yan patted Lucario on the shoulder, encouraging him.

"Lucario!" Lucario nodded emphatically; he too longed to become stronger.

Only strength can protect Haoyan, whom he loves!

"Alright, let's continue practicing." Hao Yan finished speaking and prepared to make lunch to reward Lucario for his hard work in training.

Before he could even turn around, a strange emotion suddenly flashed through Hao Yan's mind.

He immediately turned around, sensing something.

Under the parasol, Kirlia was meditating cross-legged, surrounded by white points of light.

Influenced by Hao Yan, Lucario, who was busy with his training, also immediately turned around.

"Lucario is about to evolve!" Hao Yan and Lucario quickly took two steps forward.

Yet they dared not get too close, nervously rubbing their hands together as they waited for the white light of evolution to descend.

Hao Yan need not worry about Kirullian's training.

Unlike Lucario, Kirlia doesn't need to train her physical body; she can level up by focusing on improving her mental strength.

As a psychic and fairy, she only needs to practice the meditation technique taught to her by Haoyan regularly for her internal energy to steadily increase.

More and more white dots of light appeared around Kirullian.

The white light, representing evolution, finally slowly descended.

Envelop Kirullian within it.

"Xiao Lu!" Hao Yan couldn't contain his excitement.

... ...

After a long minute, the white light of evolution finally dissipated.

Kirlia has completely changed and evolved into Gardevoir.

Gardevoir's body is white, and it looks like it's wearing an elegant dance gown with green inside the skirt.

Her hairstyle also changed, becoming curly and extending all the way down her head.

The fingers are long and slender, hanging straight down the hand, like wearing gloves.

It has spiked structures around its face, like it's wearing a ball mask.

The green ribbon on her chest connects to the middle of the horn and to the glove-like arms, making it look like she's wearing a long dress.

If Kirlia was a young girl before, then Gardevoir is now a mature young woman.

"Little Lu!" Hao Yan ran over to the charming Gardevoir.

He hugged her tightly, his heart filled with joy.

"Haoyan~" Gardevoir's gentle voice appeared in Haoyan's mind.

Her face was slightly flushed, as shy as ever.

However, her hands wrapped around Haoyan's waist, and her head gently rested on Haoyan's shoulder.

My family has a daughter who has just come of age!

... ...

Chapter 35 Gardevoir: I also have the responsibility to protect Haoyan.

"Sanagi~Sanagi~" (Brother, let's have a serious battle! I want to be like you and be Haoyan's good helper, so please don't hold back and attack with all your might!)

"Luca~ Luca~" (Little sister, don't worry, I'll fight seriously.)

On the beach, Lucario and Gardevoir stood at opposite corners, preparing for battle.

Gardevoir had just evolved when it begged Hao Yan to let it battle Lucario.

Gardevoir may appear shy, but deep down she is a strong-willed girl.

In most of his battles, Haoyan uses Lucario.

Lucario was used in battles against Team Aqua on Route 104 and in challenges against the Rustboro Gym.

Even the Stone Cave was chosen because Lucario couldn't participate in the battle.

Even when it does enter battle, it only uses Instant Transmission to assist Lucario or help it escape.

Back when I was still a weak Kirlia, I always hoped that I could evolve quickly and become a powerful Gardevoir.

Now, she has finally evolved, and she wants to prove that she is capable.

To be able to use my own strength, just like Lucario, to protect the people I love and care about!

... ...

"I won't be directing either of you later; you can do whatever you want," Hao Yan said to the two Pokémon on the beach, acting like a referee.

Haoyan was actually aware of Gardevoir's thoughts.

That's what prevented her from challenging Lucario.

"Gardener~ Gardevoir~" Gardevoir nodded first, and at the same time, her condition had been adjusted to its best.

Her gentle, beautiful eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"Lucario! Lucario!" Lucario also became serious, empathizing with Gardevoir's thoughts.

Haoyan is also a trainer he respects and admires, and he longs to protect him with his own strength.

"Battle begins." Hao Yan waved his hand, and immediately the two Pokémon began to move.

"Garde~ Gardevoir~" Gardevoir placed its hands in front of its chest, and immediately, rings of energy ripples emanated from it, invisibly radiating towards Lucario.

"Hypnosis. Before the battle begins, when there is some distance between the two sides, use hypnosis to try to hypnotize Xiao Ou. Even if the hypnosis fails, it can still weaken the opponent's will."

Hao Yan nodded slightly at Gardevoir's move selection; it was a very standard battle start.

"Luca!"

The instant Gardevoir made its move, Lucario quickly left a footprint on the beach and sped toward Gardevoir.

At the same time, its right hand emitted a faint white light, and it extended towards Gardevoir as a claw.

These are steel-based metal claws.

Despite not being hypnotized, the resilient Lucario was struck by invisible ripples, causing him to pause slightly.

The tense fighting spirit was brought into a slight relaxation.

Seeing this, Gardevoir gathered fire-type energy in its hands clasped at its chest, and a flame shot towards Lucario.

"First, use hypnosis to affect Xiao Ou's will, causing his attack steps to become somewhat unsteady. Then, take advantage of Xiao Ou's instability and use magical fire to attack."

"The moves are very smooth, without any pauses. It seems that Xiaolu had already prepared a battle plan beforehand." Haoyan could tell that Gardevoir had made preparations for this battle in advance.

He nodded silently to himself. Not fighting a battle unprepared is a good habit.

Feeling the raging flames coming towards him, Lucario, who was somewhat dazed, quickly came to his senses.

During this period, Haoyan's special training for him has greatly improved his agility and movement skills.

He stomped his feet hard on the sand and immediately launched himself to the side.

It rolled around on the beach and dodged Gardevoir's attack.

"Luca!"

A somewhat disheveled Lucario let out a loud shout, shook off the sand from his body, and unleashed his full power.

The first round of probing had made him take it seriously.

"Shauna!"

Gardevoir's little face was expressionless.

He returned Lucario's gaze with a fierce, fighting spirit.
