"So that was it. I understand now." Yu Hai nodded silently, looking thoughtful.
He was thinking that if things were truly as Yanbo had said, then training-focused moves could theoretically unleash Elite-class power as long as they successfully incorporated Elite-class energy.
Accordingly, the moves' panel values could also break through to the Elite Four level.
Thinking back to before he had broken through to the Elite Four level, some moves had reached the Elite-class level ahead of time. There had been a certain sense of forcing their growth.
After all, those moves had not broken through by relying on the Pokémon's own energy, but through the powerful impact of external energy.
This kind of breakthrough that relied on external forces had obvious drawbacks. Without continued energy replenishment afterward, a move's proficiency would still gradually decline.
After all, when a Pokémon itself had yet to reach the Elite Four level, forcibly using external energy to execute Elite-class moves was already a stretch and could not be sustained for long.
"Haha, that's exactly why non-Elite Four Trainers can never defeat Elite Four Trainers. The two sides simply aren't opponents on the same level of strength. Your outstanding performance against the Elite Four Trainers in the Orange Tournament's rotating battles has been treated as a classic case..."
"That match was highly instructive, whether in terms of command technique, tactical application, or psychological gamesmanship. The entire battle was brilliant and extremely entertaining."

Although you didn't win in the end and your opponent surrendered voluntarily, any Trainer with even a little experience would know that, in that situation, no one would let their Pokémon keep fighting..."
"This? Was that really necessary?" Yu Hai scratched his head awkwardly. He had
