"I hope that in the upcoming battle, you can display your full strength, give it your all, and leave no regrets," Teacher Wang Han said, full of fighting spirit.
"Absolutely!" Mu Qingzhu responded.
"Considering you have two Pokémon on the verge of evolution, why not test their strength with a 2VS2 battle?" Teacher Wang Han challenged Mu Qingzhu.
"Of course, no problem," Mu Qingzhu replied.
Bai Ou, who had slowly awakened from deep thought, heard that Mu Qingzhu and Teacher Wang Han were about to engage in an exciting duel. She immediately stepped forward, volunteering to be the impartial referee for the match.
Upon hearing that someone dared to challenge Teacher Wang Han, the students immediately put down what they were doing and gathered around, filled with keen interest and curiosity, wanting to see for themselves who this brave person was who dared to compete with Teacher Wang Han.
As the students gathered, Bai Ou announced loudly:
"The battle between Mu Qingzhu and Teacher Wang Han will now begin. Each trainer may use two Pokémon, and each side can make three switches. The match ends when one side's Pokémon loses the ability to battle. Both sides, please release your Pokémon."
"Go, Tinkatuff!" Teacher Wang Han shouted. "My Tinkatuff just evolved a few days ago, and her strength is at an upper-middle level within my second team."
"Go, Ralts!" Mu Qingzhu said.
After Tinkatuff entered the field, Mu Qingzhu saw Tinkatuff's stats appear before her:
[Pokémon: Tinkatuff
Type: Fairy, Steel
Level: 29 (Intermediate)
Gender: Female
Ability: Mold Breaker (Can use moves against the opponent without being affected by their ability.)
Moves: Astonish, Fairy Wind, Baby-Doll Eyes, Metal Claw, Covet, Rock Smash, Draining Kiss, Sweet Kiss, Play Rough, Slam

She then looked at Ralts's stats:
[Pokémon: Ralts (Shinny)

Witnessing Mu Qingzhu's Ralts, Teacher Wang Han's heart also stirred. She had previously released a Shinny Froakie, and now this Shinny Ralts. However, this emotional fluctuation did not last long in Teacher Wang Han's heart.
Seeing that Mu Qingzhu had not given an order, Teacher Wang Han gave her command first:
"Tinkatuff, Astonish!"
"Tink~"
Tinkatuff suddenly let out a shriek and attacked in Ralts's direction.
Upon hearing Teacher Wang Han's clear and firm command, Mu Qingzhu immediately realized that they were in battle and any distraction could affect the outcome. She quickly reacted and ordered:
"Ralts, Double Team!"
"Ralts~"
After hearing Mu Qingzhu's voice, Ralts immediately used Double Team, and 5 or 6 Ralts instantly appeared on the field. Tinkatuff's Astonish hit one of the Ralts, but that Ralts was a clone, and Ralts dodged the attack.
Witnessing Ralts cleverly dodge the attack, Teacher Wang Han decisively gave another command:
"Tinkatuff, Fairy Wind!"
"Ralts, Protect!"
Although using Protect multiple times would cause it to fail, Mu Qingzhu still decided to use Protect. After all, Tinkatuff's level was higher than Ralts's, and Lapras's HP itself was not high, so she might not be able to withstand one of Tinkatuff's moves.
Tinkatuff's Fairy Wind swept across the Ralts on the field, but Ralts used Protect in time, evading the attack.
Mu Qingzhu observed the situation on the field and realized that Ralts had been on the defensive for these two attacks, causing no damage to the opponent. She needed to counterattack.
"Ralts, Disarming Voice!"
"Tinkatuff, Fairy Wind!"
When the moves Disarming Voice and Fairy Wind collided, a dense smoke instantly filled the entire battlefield. In this chaotic moment, Mu Qingzhu decisively ordered Ralts to use Hypnosis. Utilizing Ralts's ability, the energy of Hypnosis was precisely guided towards the northeast 45° direction, plunging the opponent into a deep sleep.
After the smoke dissipated, Teacher Wang Han found her Tinkatuff in a sleeping state and then shouted loudly:
"Tinkatuff, wake up!"
Seeing Tinkatuff fall asleep, Mu Qingzhu decided to press her advantage and ordered:
"Ralts, Mystical Fire!"
Ralts skillfully manipulated the flames, accurately hitting Tinkatuff and causing her a good amount of damage. Under the scorching of Mystical Fire, Tinkatuff was jolted awake from her slumber, looking a bit disheveled. The Leftovers Tinkatuff was holding also restored a bit of her health.
Seeing Tinkatuff wake up from sleep after taking damage, Teacher Wang Han asked Tinkatuff if she was alright, and Tinkatuff replied to Teacher Wang Han, indicating she was fine. Afterwards, Teacher Wang Han looked at Mu Qingzhu, feeling that she had been a bit overconfident at first, and then continued to give orders:
"Tinkatuff, get close to Ralts, then use Ice Hammer!"
"Ralts, after Tinkatuff gets close, use Teleport to create distance, then use Mystical Fire!"
Just as Tinkatuff's Ice Hammer was about to reach Ralts, Ralts used Teleport, cleverly dodging the fatal blow. Immediately afterwards, she unhesitatingly unleashed a scorching Mystical Fire, accurately hitting the unsuspecting Tinkatuff.
After enduring two Mystical Fires, Tinkatuff was now panting slightly.
"Tinkatuff, use Draining Kiss and Sweet Kiss!"
"Ralts, Teleport and Protect!"
Ralts first used Teleport to dodge Tinkatuff's Draining Kiss, then used Protect to block Tinkatuff's Draining Kiss.
Teacher Wang Han witnessed both Draining Kiss and Sweet Kiss fail to reach Ralts, and a sense of anxiety arose within her. She quickly reacted and decisively ordered:
"Tinkatuff, Baby-Doll Eyes followed by Metal Claw!"
After continuous Teleports, Ralts's stamina was almost depleted. Mu Qingzhu decisively ordered:
"Ralts, Life Dew followed by Draining Kiss!"
Tinkatuff's Baby-Doll Eyes hit accurately, and Ralts seized this fleeting opportunity, quickly using Life Dew. Although her attack dropped, she recovered a bit of stamina. At the same time, Tinkatuff showed no weakness, taking the chance to get close to Ralts and unexpectedly use Metal Claw. However, Ralts was prepared, and almost at the same instant, she used Draining Kiss. Both Pokémon's moves hit each other, and both Pokémon were subjected to powerful recoil, flying backward and falling heavily to the ground, rolling several times before finally stopping.
Both Pokémon stood up simultaneously, their gasps intertwining in the air, indicating the intensity and tension of the battle. Then, Tinkatuff, with an unyielding glint in her eyes, finally fell to the ground, unable to battle.
Witnessing Tinkatuff's Ralts gradually exhaust her strength in battle, just as everyone thought the outcome was decided, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted from Ralts's body. The brilliant and captivating light seemed to narrate the transformation of life, showcasing the glorious moment of Ralts's successful evolution.
After the white light dissipated, a Kirlia with white clothes and blue hair appeared before everyone's eyes. At this moment, Ralts, or rather Kirlia, was also standing on the field motionless. After Bai Ou walked up to check, she discovered that Kirlia had also lost the ability to battle.
