Yuanzhi City, Huajiu 0 Lu IV6 Chess l Scar VIII. Beautiful Tournament Venue.
"Alright, the exciting final is finally here!"
"So what kind of spectacular showdown will these two contestants present to us? Please welcome them onto the stage!"
As soon as the host, Ms. Bai An, finished speaking, two figures slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
With her long, flowing, emerald-green hair, pure and beautiful face, and a conservative white shawl dress, Rukia stood solemnly on the left.
Unlike the eliminated contestants, this girl, despite having only debuted two years ago, has already swept all the grand tournaments in the Hoenn region, only narrowly losing in the final grand festival and taking second place. This is enough to fully demonstrate the formidable strength of this girl, who is known as "Ryuhime".
Unfortunately, she met Bai Ye.

"White Night! White Night! White Night!"
The sound was like a tidal wave, deafening.
The moment the young man with black hair and black eyes entered and stood still, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
It was an eternal battle of annihilation, and even in the finals, no opponent could force his Suicune to use a second move.
This is less a gathering of top talents at the Mikuri Cup and more a massive fish-smashing spectacle for this legendary top trainer.
"call--"
Looking at the figure standing in front of her, Rukia unconsciously took a deep breath.
Whether it was her outstanding appearance or her dazzling and powerful strength, it all made her feel as if she were on fire, unable to stop the throbbing in her heart.
"Frozen wind."
As soon as the five-minute timer sounded, Bai Ye preemptively gave the order.
Accompanied by the soft murmur of Suigun's elegant gait, a dazzling curtain of ice crystals suddenly rose from the ground.
The howling north wind, carrying crystal-clear ice particles, resembled a surging tide, threatening to completely engulf the opponent directly in front of it.
Based on the previous rounds of battles, all the players were mercilessly defeated by this powerful [Ice Wind] move, not to mention that Altaria is a Dragon/Flying type, and Ice-type moves have a four-fold advantage against it.
So, when they saw the familiar scene about to repeat itself, the audience instinctively held their breath and stared intently at the Tanabata Bluebird facing the powerful cold wave.
"Little Qingqing, cotton, defend!"
At this moment, Ryukia, who was clearly prepared, showed no panic and immediately responded.
Just before the freezing wind was about to engulf it, the Tanabata bird hovering in mid-air suddenly sharpened its eyes, and its turquoise tail feathers suddenly spread out like clouds, with each carefully groomed, shimmering feather bursting out with silvery-white fluff.
[Cotton Defense: Wraps its body in soft, fluffy down for protection, greatly increasing its defense.]
"It can drastically increase its own defense? But it shouldn't have any effect on the freezing wind."
A seasoned coordination trainer couldn't help but ask in surprise.
But then, Bai'an, who was closest to the stage, suddenly widened her eyes and shouted into the microphone, "The Tanabata's cotton defense doesn't wrap around the body, but is positioned directly in front of it, blocking the attack of the freezing wind!"
As the shocked hostess saw, the cotton fluff bursting from the feathers did not drift loosely or wrap around the body normally, but suddenly condensed into three soft white cotton fluff shields.
Even though they were soft and fluffy, the overlapping cotton-like clouds were just enough to withstand this terrifying ice crystal storm.
In the next instant, the soft cotton wool was completely covered by the fluorescent ice surface, transforming into a dazzling giant ice shield!
"As expected, that '1 Lin 7 Wu' guy really has some skills~"
Watching his own brilliance value rapidly decrease on the screen, Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh.
Elegance is not just for show.
As an excellent Coordinator, flashy techniques cannot be used merely for performance; they must be perfectly integrated into battle.
Rukia creatively transformed [Cotton Guard] into a shield, not only blocking [Ice Wind] which has a four-fold super weakness to it, but also using his moves to create an even more dazzling ice shield. Truly worthy of being a future top-tier Coordinator!
"So, if this one is blocked, how will you deal with the next one?"
Bai Ye looked at the jade-haired girl opposite him who finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Legends, by their very nature, possess the power of legend.
Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, even the most creative use of techniques is futile.
"Suiki, use Water Gun."
"Little Qingqing, quickly use Brave Bird Attack to dodge!"
Faced with the giant, spiraling water cannon that resembled a shooting star's tail, Rukia was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly shouted.
At this moment, the [Water Cannon] that the legendary Pokémon had just launched was already taking shape, and its powerful kinetic energy caused the ground of the entire venue to shake violently. If Altaria were to be hit head-on, it would definitely lose its ability to battle on the spot!
"Evening~"
The Qixi Bluebird, equally stunned by this powerful water energy, cried out, and as it spread its wings and spun rapidly, blue flames suddenly swept over its entire body.
Its entire body traced a Z-shaped trajectory like a crimson meteor as it made a rapid emergency landing in an attempt to avoid the surging spiral water cannon.
"Hmm, was that done on purpose?"
Melissa, sitting upright on the judges' panel, frowned, her gaze fixed intently on the duel before her.
Rather than saying that Altaria used [Brave Bird Attack] to dodge the high-speed [Water Cannon], it's more accurate to say that the spiraling, high-pressure water jet that caused the entire arena to vibrate was driving it downwards into the arena.
The once bare ground is now completely covered with a thick layer of ice after being swept by the [Frozen Wind].
At that moment, as the opponent made an emergency landing and slid, the ice rink trembled, and the relentless water jet swept across the ice like a shooting star with lightning speed!
Wherever it passed, the ice layer was instantly torn apart by the extremely strong water pressure, and countless prismatic ice crystals, like sharp blades, shattered and bounced, bursting out with dazzling silver light under the lamplight, but were instantly frozen again by the cold air carried by the tail of the water dragon.
The surging, high-pressure water column roared and instantly froze, carving a spiral ice track near the ground!
Ice Water Cannon, complete!
Ruined
Seeing the torrent of ice spikes, like cannonballs, hurtling towards the Altaria at high speed, Rukia knew she was about to be defeated.
The power of the [Hydro Pump] move, boosted by Suicune's STAB, is already astonishing, not to mention it's now accompanied by a large number of ice crystal blades. Even if Little Qingqing had ten lives, she wouldn't be able to withstand this attack!
Is this the power of legendary Pokémon? Is this Mr. White Night's superb coordination and command?
Looking at the calm and composed black-haired youth opposite her, Rukia was momentarily lost in thought.
"Evening~"
As the Altaria cried out in anguish after being struck head-on, the previously surging ice water cannon exploded, transforming into a dazzling rain of ice crystals that fell alongside the Altaria, now incapacitated.
"The winner of this year's Yosuga City Mikel Cup has been determined!!!"
At that moment, with the host Ms. Bai An's shout, the atmosphere of the entire venue was instantly ignited.
Although the battle lasted only a minute and the outcome was decided in just two moves, the audience and the contestants were still stunned by the spectacular duel and were incredibly excited.
Watching Ryukia walk off the stage with her head down, looking as if she had lost her soul, Bai Ye touched his chin, wondering if he had gone a bit too far.
Although this girl was quite strong, she was defeated in an instant by Suicune's full-force Water Gun attack, which must have been a huge blow to her.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye slowly followed.
"Your name is Ryukia, right? The cotton defense you used when commanding Altaria just now was very creative. You must have practiced it for a long time."
"Eh"
The girl, who had been feeling disappointed, trembled and blushed involuntarily as Bai Ye took the initiative to talk to her.
"It's not called the Double Seventh Festival Bluebird, it's called Little Green. She has a special name~"
She blinked and corrected him.
Generally speaking, Rukia will only allow people she considers close to call her by the name of her favorite Tanabata bird.
Although, as of now, Baiye is the first, and will also be the last.
"besides"
Rukia finally mustered her courage and, with hopeful eyes, leaned forward and spoke loudly.
"I really enjoyed the feeling of having a magnificent battle with you, Mr. Bai Ye. May I be your opponent again in the future?"
"Uh"
The girl's declaration gave Bai Ye a headache.
He initially thought that Ryukia's downcast face after stepping down was because he had shattered her Dao heart, so he kindly came over to comfort her. However, she turned around and declared him a formidable rival.
For some reason, Bai Ye suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with Nimo from the Zhu Zi era.
Hmm, you're also a die-hard fan?
"No problem, you can come to the farm and challenge me anytime you want."
However, Byakuya still agreed to Ryukia's request.
Pure and beautiful young girls always have special privileges.
Besides, as for flashy battles, he'll use Suicune this time, Articuno next time, and Zapdos the time after that—that way, he'll give this girl a real taste of what a formidable opponent feels like.
"Yay!!!"
Rukia, completely unaware of the dangers of society, was overjoyed to receive a response.
Chapter 190 Mega Gardevoir's Mature and Noble Form (3000 words)
According to the Mikkuri Cup tournament schedule, the awards ceremony will follow immediately after the competition.
Just before the official awards ceremony, Bai Ye was about to return to the waiting room to meet up with Xiao Guang and Xiao Yao when a tall, mature woman with brown hair, wearing a red and black top and light-colored jeans, blocked his way at the entrance of the passageway with a microphone in her hand.
"Hello Mr. Baiye, I am Pansy, a reporter from the Miare City Publishing House."
"Could I take a moment of your time for an advance interview?"
Pansy looked at the black-haired youth so close to her and her eyes lit up.
The Luna City Publishing House is located in the Kalos region. As its star reporter, she travels to various league regions, responsible for interviewing famous trainers and uncovering hot news.
As a grand tournament initiated by the most outstanding coordinators, the Mikuri Cup has always attracted much attention. Not to mention that this one held in Yukino City even had a contestant wielding a legendary Pokémon, making its popularity even more evident.
"This is absolutely huge news!"
Before other competitors arrived, Pansy, with her keen sense of breaking news, caught White Night red-handed.
She had never been so excited before, but the black-haired young man in front of her was truly extraordinary.
With her bewitching beauty, overwhelming strength in winning the Wallace Cup, and the explosive news of catching the legendary Pokémon Suicune, the top reporter had already mentally prepared a long list of questions and interview drafts, determined to publish a biographical news article about Byakuya.
As the reporter, her cheeks slightly flushed, turned her gaze toward him, Bai Ye also looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Her neat beige medium-length hair fell to the sides of her ears, and the unrestrained, beautiful strands of hair swayed gently in the breeze.
Beneath her hair, reflecting a soft, radiant light, lay a stunningly beautiful face, resembling a pure and lively young girl, yet possessing a mature and alluring charm befitting her age. Her eyes were bright, and her nose was delicate and straight.
Her body, clad in a red and black top, was visibly firm and full. Her plump, rounded breasts slightly strained against the thick fabric, outlining a soft and alluring curve. Her voluptuous buttocks, completely concealed by light-colored jeans, were also round and plump. Her slender, long legs stood straight and graceful, a sight to behold.
In just a moment, he remembered all the information about this Miss Pansy.
Appearing in Generation VI, he is one of the most famous interviewers in the Kalos region, responsible for interviewing famous trainers from various places and publishing corresponding biographical news. He has an upright personality and never arbitrarily tampers with interview records, and has an excellent reputation among journalists.
Of course, for most Pokémon trainers, her sister Violet is obviously more famous—a Pokémon photographer, the Gym Leader of the Ebony City Gym in the Kalos region, the Duchess of Battle Castle, and said to be quite strong.
As for the Miare City publishing house where Pansy works...
It seems to be quite famous in the league's news media?
Thinking of this, Bai Ye's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed to Pansy's interview request.
"Time is of the essence, and I need to receive an award later, so let's finish this quickly."
"Ah...that's wonderful!"
The reporter, who had initially thought Bai Ye was about to run into a wall after seeing him frown and deep in thought, was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise.
She hurriedly took out a notebook and pen from her bag, preparing to write down Bai Ye's answers as she asked questions.
"So, Mr. Bai Ye, what would you like to say about winning the Mikeli Cup this time?"
How do you raise and train your Pokémon in your daily life? Can you give some advice to the new generation of trainers?
"Also, could you tell us in detail how you met Suicune, captured it, and successfully gained its approval?"
