Roaring in her heart, Kokodora raised her head and stretched out her iron foot forward. She only took one step when the sudden increase in her mental power pushed her down at once. The tremendous pressure seemed to crush her directly to the ground.

Even so, his four legs struggled to tug at the ground ahead, pulling him forward. With a green light in his eyes, Alakazam looked down at the silver-white creature, which was crawling towards him despite its squirm, and sighed softly as he closed his eyes.

In this case, let me make you face the reality a little bit.

With both arms raised high, the two tightly grasped soup spoons released strong light, and a terrifying mental power that had already taken shape rose from its body, and then quickly disappeared, and no one knew where it went.

The moment the move was released, the struggling Kokodora also felt it. She raised her head and showed a dazed expression as if she saw something unbelievable.

What was seen was a large mass of highly concentrated mental power falling from the sky. The solid armor made of steel and rock could not even hold out for half a second before being crushed into pieces along with the flesh.

This is no longer a script where one can cross all gaps with an indomitable spirit. With the help of Alakazam's power, Kokodora has seen his future. As long as he does not choose to retreat, he will definitely reach an unchangeable future.

Precognition is practically the ultimate psychic move. Unlike conventional moves, its target is an enemy in the future. Therefore, once the move is unleashed, unless someone takes the future blow in place of the original target, no matter where one moves or how one responds, there's no way to escape the predetermined future.

Qianye knew Kokodora well enough to guess what kind of future it envisioned just by looking at her expression. As long as it saw a glimmer of opportunity, it would seize it with all its might. This reaction could only mean one thing: no matter how much it hated to admit it, failure was already written into its future.

The Poké Ball emitted a red light, covering Kokodora and taking it back into the ball. It was replaced by a large gray-black wolfhound.

"You've done your best, Kokodora. Leave the rest to us." Qianye said in a gentle tone, looking at the red and white ball in his hand. There was a moment of silence inside the ball, as if it had accepted the result.

On the ring, the large wolfhound raised its head and glared at the telekinetic energy ball that was about to descend on it. Heizi was furious. Although the big sister had a bad temper and often called him a stupid dog, she would teach him every time she asked for a new move.

Besides, no matter what, the big sister is also a family member just like the little master. How can she be bullied by outsiders like this!

With a long howl, the telekinetic force ball fell, and the strong light pressed down on Kuroko, engulfing him in a blinding white. However, the powerful move ultimately failed to cause any ripples, and it disappeared without even harming Kuroko.

Perhaps it was the first time she encountered such a completely unexpected situation. Nancy tilted her head, and the little girl in her arms covered her open mouth with one hand, looking very surprised.

Unlike conventional attribute resistance, the Dark type can be completely immune to Psychic type moves, which is an absolute suppression of the ecological niche. No matter how powerful the predicted future is, it is just a Psychic type move, which is of no use to Kuroko.

"Heizi, move forward as quickly as possible!"

Qianye's tone was very anxious. Most Psychic-type Pokémon would feel distressed when facing Dark-type Pokémon because their own basic-type moves were ineffective, but Alakazam might not be one of them.

He knew about this move, a rare Pokémon skill that allowed Psychic-types to effectively counter Dark-types. He wasn't sure if Nancy's Alakazam could use it, but facing the opponent's enhanced Special Attack, he didn't have the capital to gamble.

Alakazam's eyes lit up, and a rainbow-colored halo reflected in the depths of his pupils. Qianye, who had been concentrating on watching Alakazam's performance, immediately noticed the abnormality and shouted without hesitation:

"Heizi, throw sand to cover your body completely!"

The move he had been guarding against was called "Miracle Eyes". This move did not have any power, but it could see through the enemy with a mysterious power, allowing Psychic-type moves to cause damage to Dark-type Pokémon.

Because it can be seen with just the eyes, there is basically no possibility of dodging in a head-on battle, but it is actually not difficult to crack it, which is to make the opponent "unable to see" you.

Its front paws quickly dug into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust that covered its body like a pale yellow veil. As expected, the rainbow light in Alakazam's eyes faded as it failed to capture its target, and its Eye of Miracle failed to activate.

A green light flashed, and it seemed the opponent was about to activate telekinesis again. What was he going to do this time? Knowing that supernatural moves were ineffective, it was unlikely that he was targeting Kuroko. Was he going to use telekinesis to disperse the dust? That would be to his advantage, allowing Kuroko to get closer.

But, will it really take such a simple action?

Alakazam gave the answer, an answer that made Qianye look unhappy - he used his telekinesis to grab the ground beneath him and cut a large circle on it. A cylinder was lifted up by his telekinesis, gradually lifting Alakazam into the sky.

If Heizi wants to attack it, he has to jump up from the ground, which forces them to show up!

It's a completely blatant conspiracy. As the pillars continue to rise, the risk of Heizi's actions will become greater and greater. Even if he knows it's a pit, he can only choose to wade into it.

"Heizi, jump up and bite it to pieces!"

There is only one chance. The duration of the reflection wall has ended, and Alakazam cannot open a new one because of his telekinesis control, so Kuroko's attack will not be reduced at all.

If this attack can defeat Alakazam, even if he is attached by Miracle Eye, he can wash off that state by replacing him with Eevee or Kodoran. The remaining Psychic-type Pokémon cannot learn Miracle Eye, so replacing him with Kuroko can also deal with it well.

With a leap up, the big wolfhound's body finally broke through the cover of sand and dust, and was completely revealed in the air.

As expected, when Alakazam saw Kuroko appear, his eyes immediately lit up strongly, and the move he used was... instant teleportation.

Kuroko leaped onto the column, only to bite off a large piece of air as the white light vanished. Qianye's grip tightened suddenly. He saw Alakazam's indifferent gaze as he teleported to the edge of the field, and the rainbow light that appeared on Kuroko's body...

……

He lost, and it was a crushing defeat, because until the end of the challenge, Qianye had no idea what he was fighting against, nor could he understand why the situation on the field took such a sudden turn for the worse.

Inexplicably, I remembered what the strange old man said before entering the door: "Nancy is not someone a trainer can defeat."

He did feel a sense of suffocation, the feeling of being led around by the nose despite knowing every step was standard. But, defeat was defeat, and he had to admit that his skills were inferior to his opponent's. Was the person he was fighting truly a "human"?

"Big brother lost, as agreed, you have to stay and play with me~"

The little girl clapped her hands and laughed happily. Natsu, who was holding her, also raised her head, her eyes fixed on Qianye without any emotion.

"Of course, I'll accept the loss... But I have to go to the Pokémon Center now. I'll come play with you after my Pokémon is healed."

This wasn't an excuse; Qianye hadn't intended to regret it. He was just playing with a little girl; it wasn't a big deal...

After hearing this, neither Nancy nor the little girl seemed to react. Nancy just raised her slender arm and pointed her index finger at the boy's position.

"?"

I don’t know what the other party is up to. Are they trying to prevent me from leaving?

Meanwhile, Nancy's reaction was also strange. She retracted her finger, and the same doubt that had crossed her eyes when she saw Kuroko's immunity to future prediction flashed across her face.

"No change, doll?"

After saying something completely confusing, Nancy stood up from her seat, holding the little girl in her arms, and then... floated, floated up?!

Common sense completely collapsed at this moment. While he was stunned, Nancy had already crossed the fighting stage and floated directly in front of him.

The pretty face that made his heart beat faster was close to him, so close that he could smell the refreshing fragrance. His heart was beating uncontrollably fast and a burning sensation came to his face.

At this moment, Nancy's eyes lit up... physically, with the same green light that a Psychic-type Pokémon glows before unleashing telekinesis.

"Eh?"

His feet separated from the ground, and Qianye felt his body lose weight, floating in the air nearly half a meter above the ground.

"It's so heavy." Nancy said softly, and the green light in her eyes dissipated.

As his telekinesis faded, Qianye heard gravity's cry again, and he lost his balance and fell flat on his butt. Enduring the pain in his anus, he held his head and sat up awkwardly.

"Name?" Nancy asked, tilting her head.

"Qian Ye, Qian Ye from Pallet Town."

As soon as she said this, Nancy fell back to the ground, half-crouching so she could look the boy in the eye. Her beautiful red eyes reflected his features, and her pearly teeth parted slightly. Although her voice was smooth, it gave people an irresistible feeling:

"Qianye... abide by the agreement."

Chapter 26: Lonely Nancy

In the bedroom which was as spacious as a living room, Qian Yeban was reclining on the soft seat with goose down cushions. The little girl in the top hat was sitting on his lap, her two little feet happily swinging in the air.

In her sight, Nancy squatted on the carpet, her hands outstretched, warm ripples spreading from her palms. The waves passed through Kokodora's body, and the cracks and marks on her armor slowly began to repair.

After a while, Kokodora seemed to be reborn, and her new silver-white shell reflected a bright luster. She raised her head and looked at the girl who healed her with a complicated look.

"Kokodora, how are you feeling?" Qianye stood up from the soft seat holding the little girl and walked forward to ask with concern.

Kokodora shook her head, indicating that she was fine, and then she uttered a soft cry: "Koko?"

What about those two guys?

"Ah, Eevee and Blackie are staying with Nancy's Pokémon. They're in another room now."

Without saying much, Kokodora just asked the location of the room and walked out of the bedroom.

The previous defeat was undoubtedly a huge blow to Kokodora. The unyielding spirit etched in her bones made it impossible for her to accept such a cowardly defeat. But unyielding doesn't mean she can't afford to lose. No matter how horrible or aggrieved her defeat was, Kokodora disdained to make excuses.

Qianye was very clear about this, and he was not worried that Kokodora would be devastated after this setback, because even if she was knocked down by an opponent who was far stronger than her, she would only lick her wounds silently, use the shame as motivation to redouble her training, and avenge her previous shame next time.

As a trainer, all Qianye could do was plan a more efficient training plan for her, but before that, he had to fulfill the promise he had made before.

Nancy stood up on tiptoe and floated silently in front of him. Her pretty face remained expressionless, and she just stretched out her arms towards him.

Understanding what she meant, Qianye held the little girl in the top hat under her armpit, lifted her up high amidst the other party's cheers, and placed her in Nazhi's arms.

Speaking of which, he still hasn't figured out the identity of this little girl. At first, he thought she was Naz's sister or something like that, but the way the two of them get along has a weird feeling that they don't seem like sisters at all.

One is so cold that he is almost expressionless, while the other is overly cheerful and energetic. These two people with completely different temperaments can be together without any interaction, as if they don’t regard each other as "others" at all.

"Big brother, big brother, come and play with me."

The pink little hand waved gently in front of Qianye's eyes, and Nazhi's eyes also emitted green light. The open space between them suddenly opened up, and a huge city model slowly rose.

The model was so delicate and lifelike that Qianye could see neatly arranged tables, chairs, beds and benches through the window of any house, and even the decorations on the wall were clearly visible. It was as if the real town was directly scaled here.

The little girl reached out her hands, giggling as she lifted the roof of the largest and most magnificent villa in the center. The entire interior was revealed before her eyes. A doll, resembling an adult woman, lay quietly on a chair in what must have been the villa's bedroom. Qianye didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt as if the doll glanced at him for a moment.

"This is, Mom." Naz said, with some rare fluctuations in her eyes.

Mom... the doll that represents the mother in the game of pretend play? Although she looks indifferent, she is still a child at heart.

"In that case, I'll be the dad."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Qianye felt that he seemed to be a little inconsiderate, because after hearing his words, Nazhi lowered her head, her eyes completely covered by her bangs, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Ahaha, you don't have to play this role. How to play it is up to you..."

"Daddy doll, not here."

A whisper echoed. It turned out to be just a puppet without a father figure. I almost thought he was offended and angry.

In this case... he clasped his palms together, with his palms acting as the body and his extended fingers becoming the head and limbs. The little man made with the gesture was stretched out in front of Nancy and swayed, and the "head" nodded under the boy's control.

Qianye wasn't sure if this approach would work, but judging from the sudden flicker in Nazzi's eyes, it seemed to be working quite well?

……

Time passed exceptionally quickly while they were playing. An entire afternoon slipped away unnoticed. The little girl's laughter never stopped. Listening to the sweet voice that healed the soul, Qianye's mood also became much better.

Nancy did not actively participate in the game. She just quietly watched the interaction between the two. This childish game lasted for several hours, but she did not feel bored at all.

"Time has passed."

As if she suddenly realized something, Naz looked up at the clock on the wall. It was almost half an hour past six o'clock.

"What's wrong?" Qianye asked after noticing the other party's abnormality.

"Well~ I have to go teach the students... Brother Qianye, let's play together next time." The little guy reluctantly put the doll in his hand back to its original place. After waving to Qianye, he was picked up by Nancy and disappeared on the spot with a flash of white light.

Teleportation... It's amazing every time I see it with my own eyes. I wonder if humans can use super powers.

How did they do that? Is there Psychic potential hidden within the human gene pool? A Psychic-type Pokémon fused with a Humanoid Pokémon?

The long-dormant scholar's soul was awakened, and Qianye even wanted to find Naz right away to learn superpowers and study the principles behind them.

"That child, Nazzi, had a lot of fun today."

While he was lost in thought, a woman's voice suddenly rang out in the empty room except for Qianye. A chill ran up his back, and his hair stood on end.

As I looked around warily, a gentle voice sounded again: "Don't look for me, I'm in the bedroom of the villa."

The bedroom of the villa... He subconsciously lowered his head to look at the model below him. Speaking of the villa, the first thing that came to mind was the building in the center. The roof had been lifted up and had not been covered up yet. At the location of the bedroom, a doll of an adult woman was lying there quietly.

"You read it right, it was me who made the sound. I hope I didn't scare you."

You're only making it more terrifying! Reluctantly accepting the fact that the person he was talking to was a doll that couldn't even open its mouth, Qianye leaned down with his head close to the ceiling and asked:

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

"Literally. I haven't seen that kid so excited in a long time... Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Naz's mother. You can just call me Auntie."

Mommy, mommy, mommy?! Nancy did say this was a mommy puppet, but doesn't that refer to a role in a playhouse? Does "mommy puppet" actually mean the "doll" that mom becomes?

"Was it... Naz?" Qianye asked cautiously. Only a completely unreasonable superpower could turn a living person into this state.

The puppet sighed deeply: "This is all our fault..."

She began to tell Qianye about Naz's past—

The Golden Gym is a Psychic-type gym with a history of generations. To ensure a high degree of coordination with Psychic-type Pokémon, each successor must systematically cultivate Psychic abilities. And Nancy is the most gifted person since the gym's founding.
