Emotional energy in the Pokémon world was indeed an incredibly powerful force. Although no formal research had produced any conclusions about it, emotional energy undeniably existed in every Pokémon battle.
Emotional energy mainly came from the bond between Pokémon and Trainer. The deeper the bond, the stronger that energy became. Still, it was unlikely to determine the outcome of a match on its own. Ultimately, emotional energy could not bridge the gap in strength between two Pokémon; it could only serve as a burst of latent potential.
For emotional energy to turn a battle around, the emotional bond between a Pokémon and its Trainer had to be exceptionally strong.
And right before Chu Xin's eyes, Bai Yuan and his Scyther were already showing faint signs of that kind of emotional energy.
"Holy crap, Bai Yuan really did get a power surge."
Emotional energy was ultimately a form of psychic energy. When Kaka went to the Dojo to train, he had also studied his own emotional energy. However, Kaka, Chu Xin, and the others had made little progress in this area. Most of it remained a theoretical possibility, and putting it into practice would require many more experiments.
That was why Chu Xin had sent Chen Huan to the Wudang Gym to conduct research. That way, he would also receive firsthand information on the study of psychic energy and emotional energy.
But judging from this match, Bai Yuan's use of emotional energy already far surpassed his own. Chu Xin could feel an endless surge of fighting spirit pouring out of Bai Yuan and Scyther. This was precisely the emotional energy born from their bond!
With the help of that emotional energy, Bai Yuan had actually managed to fight Bai Le to a stalemate. For the moment, neither could secure victory.
