Chapter Summaries

Chu Xin gave Kaka the Azelf Stone so he could extend his Meditation training and master Mind's Eye before the tournament final. Meanwhile, Yuansheng prepared his Escavalier and received instructions from his family head to win the championship for Niten Ichi-ryu.

• Chu Xin learned from Moderator Wu Yong that Yuansheng might be from the island nation and resolved to stop him from winning if that was true.
• Chu Xin gave Kaka the Azelf Stone to help him train his mental energy for longer, while Electrike agreed to continue practicing without it.
• Luo Luo monitored Kaka as he meditated with the Azelf Stone, and Chu Xin hoped he would master Mind's Eye in time.
• Yuansheng fed Escavalier and praised it for helping him reach the semifinals.
• Yuansheng answered a call from his family head, who told him that winning the championship was necessary to restore Niten Ichi-ryu's glory.

After Meditation training helped Kaka sense his psychic power, he accidentally stirred Zacian's and Zamazenta's energies and nearly died as they rampaged through his body. With Wu Yong's advice, Kaka guided the powers along fixed routes, survived, and suddenly evolved.

• Kaka used the Azelf Stone to meditate for three hours, gained greater control over his body, and saw Weakness Threads after channeling psychic power to his eyes.
• Kaka slashed a Weakness Thread in space and briefly opened a Space Rift without using Burst Aura.
• Kaka stirred Zacian's power, causing it and Zamazenta's power to go berserk and damage his body.
• Luo Luo warned Chu Xin, who fetched Wu Yong; Wu Yong told Kaka to channel the energies through his body instead of trying to control them.
• Kaka used Burst Aura Third Stage and his psychic power to guide Zacian's and Zamazenta's energies along fixed routes, calming them.
• Kaka was engulfed in evolution light and emerged larger, holding a sword and shield after evolving.

Kaka unexpectedly evolved into Sirfetch'd after attempting to control the energy within him, then exhausted himself and reverted to Farfetch'd. Luo Luo determined that Kaka had briefly harnessed the power of Zacian and Zamazenta, but the cause and limits of the strange energy remained unclear.

• Kaka evolved into Sirfetch'd, surprising Chu Xin and Wu Yong because ordinary Farfetch'd were not supposed to evolve.
• Kaka tested his new form on the training equipment, displaying extraordinary speed and control before he slipped and crashed into a wall.
• Kaka reverted to Farfetch'd and lost consciousness, so Chu Xin had Luo Luo examine him and put him in his Poké Ball to rest.
• Chu Xin reviewed Luo Luo's recordings and asked Luo Luo to explain Kaka's sudden evolution and reversion.
• Luo Luo explained that Kaka had tried to control the energy inside him after his Meditation training, including the power of Zacian and Zamazenta, and that restraining it had allowed him to evolve.

Luo Luo explained that Kaka’s evolution into Sirfetch'd depended on Burst Aura Third Stage and the powers of Zacian and Zamazenta, while Chu Xin resolved to train him to control it as a battle trump card. Meanwhile, Wu Yong considered investigating the Western Uninhabited Zone, and Tian Leyan learned that foreign interference had made the Kendo Championship a matter of national pride.

• Luo Luo explained that Kaka had evolved when Burst Aura Third Stage helped him control Zacian and Zamazenta’s powers, but he devolved and passed out when the technique’s stamina cost became too much.

• Tian Leyan met with her master and several older women, who discussed Japanese interference in the Kendo Championship and warned her not to hold back if she faced the person involved.

Kaka learned that his evolution into Sirfetch'd was temporary because he could not yet control Zacian and Zamazenta's power. Chu Xin urged him to master evolving quickly as a battle trump card, while Xiao Wu secretly sought more training to protect his place as the team's boss.

• Kaka woke up as a Farfetch'd, and Luo Luo showed him footage confirming that his evolution into Sirfetch'd had really happened.
• Chu Xin and Luo Luo explained that Kaka could evolve permanently only after mastering Zacian and Zamazenta's power.
• Chu Xin encouraged Kaka to practice evolving at will so he could use Sirfetch'd as a battle trump card, and Kaka began training.

Chu Xin arrived late to the Wudang Mountain Kendo Tournament but advanced easily to the final, while Tian Leyan confronted Yuansheng and exposed him as the Japanese competitor Gen Chisei. The semifinal between Tian Leyan and Gen Chisei began with Chu Xin watching and preparing for whoever won.

• Chu Xin arrived at the summit late, apologized through his actions to no one, and reassured Xiao Lu that Kaka could beat any opponent.
• The staff announced the semifinal draw: Chu Xin faced an easier opponent, while Tian Leyan faced Yuansheng.
• Chu Xin and Kaka defeated their opponent with a single slash, sending Chu Xin to the final.
• Tian Leyan challenged Yuansheng about his purpose in entering the tournament and revealed his true identity as Gen Chisei.
• Gen Chisei dismissed Tian Leyan as too weak to stop him, and both competitors sent out Samurott and Escavalier to begin their match.
• Chu Xin watched the semifinal, hoping both Pokémon would reveal their strength before he faced the winner.

Tian Leyan and Genjiro battled in the Kendo Championship, with Tian Leyan determined to stop a Japanese competitor from winning. Samurott appeared to gain the upper hand, but Genjiro’s hidden attack left Samurott fallen and Escavalier victorious.

• Tian Leyan sent Samurott to attack Genjiro’s Escavalier, and Samurott’s agile charge forced Escavalier back.
• Genjiro ordered Escavalier to use Double Team, but Tian Leyan had Samurott use Bulldoze to clear most of the copies.
• Tian Leyan had Samurott use Swords Dance to block Escavalier’s sword-energy attacks, then Samurott’s Intimidate froze the remaining copies.
• Samurott struck what seemed to be the real Escavalier, but the image vanished and Escavalier burst out of a hole beneath Samurott.
• Genjiro ordered Escavalier to unleash rapid thrusts, leaving Samurott fallen as Genjiro recalled Escavalier.

After Genjiro defeated Tian Leyan, he and Chu Xin prepared for their final showdown while Tian Leyan vowed to defeat Genjiro next time. At a meeting of Gym Leaders, the Master of Emei revealed evidence that Genjiro was a concealed Japanese apprentice competing to promote Niten Ichi-ryu.

• Genjiro defeated Tian Leyan, and Chu Xin left to train for his upcoming showdown with him.

• The Master of Emei presented her dossier on Genjiro and argued that he was an apprentice from Japan's Niten Ichi-ryu Dojo competing under a concealed identity.
• The Gym Leaders learned that Genjiro had used the absence of their experts to enter the championship, while Wu Yong privately took satisfaction in Wudang Gym reaching the final too.

Wu Yong gathered the Gym Leaders to plan excluding outside competitors from future Kendo Championships and said Chu Xin would face Genjiro. Meanwhile, Kaka struggled to repeat his evolution until Zacian's and Zamazenta's powers resonated, triggering it again as Luo Luo recorded the phenomenon.

• Wu Yong proposed petitioning to limit future Kendo Championships to dojo competitors, and the Gym Leaders supported the plan after he said Chu Xin would handle Genjiro.
• Chu Xin began emergency training with Kaka at the Wudang Gym, but Kaka could not repeat the previous day's evolution despite using the third stage of Burst Aura.
• Kaka abandoned his attempt to control the two powers with psychic energy and endured them rampaging through his body.
• Near Kaka's breaking point, Zacian's and Zamazenta's powers resonated, and Kaka's psychic energy harmonized them, causing him to evolve again.
• Luo Luo monitored Kaka's transformation and recorded the unusual resonance for later study with Chen Huan.

Luo Luo explained that Zacian’s and Zamazenta’s powers could resonate, allowing Kaka to evolve more safely and reliably. As Kaka began practicing the method, Chu Xin looked forward to his next battle, while Ai Xing arrived at Wudang Mountain with an irritated female colleague.

• Luo Luo analyzed Kaka’s evolution and explained that his earlier attempt had failed because his psychic power could not control Zacian’s and Zamazenta’s violent energies.
• Luo Luo demonstrated that resonance between the two powers calmed their flow, strengthened their combined output, and let Kaka’s psychic energy buffer the conflict and heal damage.
• Chu Xin realized the discovery made Kaka’s evolution more reliable, and he and Luo Luo planned to help Kaka practice resonance and find the fastest way to trigger it.
• Chu Xin imagined evolved Kaka defeating Escavalier in the next day’s battle.
• Ai Xing complained about having to visit Wudang Mountain, while the woman accompanying him blamed him for making her come too.

Chu Xin arrived early for the Kendo Championship final, confident that Kaka had mastered Temporary Evolution and ready to face Genjiro. Before the match, Genjiro’s elderly companion intimidated Chu Xin with Duraludon, but Ai Xing intervened, and the old man withdrew.

• Chu Xin told Wu Yong that Kaka had completely mastered Temporary Evolution and that he was confident he could beat Genjiro.
• Wu Yong took Xiao Lu away to organize the final and hoped Primitive Man would make Chu Xin reveal his trump card.
• Genjiro arrived with an old man, who insulted Chu Xin and then sent out Duraludon to overwhelm him with its aura.
• Luo Luo blocked the old man from striking Chu Xin, but Duraludon’s pressure left Chu Xin believing he could not win.
• Ai Xing arrived on Dragonite and challenged the old man, who recalled Duraludon and left; a woman then arrived on Salamence and looked coldly at Ai Xing.

Chu Xin reunited with Ai Xing and met Shu Le, China’s Dark-type Elite Four member, before the Kendo Championship battle against Genjiro. He promised to defeat Genjiro and kept quiet about Kaka’s new abilities, leaving Shu Le and Ai Xing eager to see what he could do.

• Chu Xin excitedly approached Shu Le’s Salamence, which puffed him to the ground before Shu Le recalled it and warned him about its temper.
• Ai Xing greeted Chu Xin, who complained that the Dojo transfers had forced him to enter the Kendo Championship as Ai Xing’s errand boy.
• Ai Xing introduced Shu Le as China’s Dark-type Elite Four member and called her the “Scorpion Beauty,” angering her.
• Ai Xing asked whether Chu Xin was confident against Genjiro, and Chu Xin said he would win.
• Ai Xing asked about Kaka’s new abilities, and Shu Le listened closely, but Chu Xin told them they would find out when the battle began.

Chu Xin faced Genjiro in the Kendo Championship, where Kaka and Escavalier fought an intense, evenly matched battle. After Escavalier gained the advantage with a powerful thrust, Chu Xin revealed Kaka’s Burst Aura Level One, turning the tide and sending Escavalier flying.

• Kaka’s aura briefly stunned Escavalier, and Kaka struck him hard enough to send him flying before Chu Xin declared the real match had begun.

Chu Xin’s Farfetch’d Kaka escalated Burst Aura against Genjiro’s Escavalier, forcing both Trainers to reveal their battle tactics. The fight continued with Kaka entering a third stage of his burst after Escavalier blocked his Fury Cutter.

• Shu Le and Ai Xing watched Kaka’s first Burst Aura stage and remarked on his unusual strength.
• Kaka used his increased speed to overwhelm Escavalier, while Genjiro ordered Escavalier to endure the assault until Kaka’s stamina ran out.
• Kaka activated Burst Aura’s second stage and struck Escavalier with a Jump Slash, but Escavalier survived with Endure and counterattacked.
• Kaka evaded Escavalier’s Counter, then launched Fury Cutter as Genjiro used Escavalier’s own Fury Cutter to block it.
• Chu Xin ordered Kaka to activate Burst Aura’s third stage after Escavalier stopped his attack.

Chu Xin's Kaka used a third Burst Aura surge to ambush Genjiro's Escavalier and slash open a space rift, but the effort drained Kaka's aura. Genjiro ordered Escavalier to endure until the surge faded, and Chu Xin hinted that he still had another trick.

• Chu Xin ordered Kaka to attack, and Kaka's clones distracted Escavalier while the real Kaka burst from underground with Dig.

• Kaka evolved into Sirfetch'd, gaining immense strength but realizing the transformation rapidly drained his stamina and could last only three minutes.
• Genjiro and Escavalier lost their will to fight as they sensed Kaka’s strength, while Chu Xin told Kaka to end the battle quickly.
• Kaka struck Escavalier with his new move, Spatial Slash, knocking it unconscious, and Genjiro slumped to the ground in defeat.

Chu Xin defeated Genjiro at the Kendo Championship and explained that Kaka could only briefly evolve into Sirfetch'd by borrowing Zacian and Zamazenta's power. After Chu Xin left, Ai Xing and Shu Le turned to their investigation of the Wudang Gym, while Wu Yong confronted Genjiro and his master as they tried to leave.

• After the match, Chu Xin told Ai Xing that Kaka could not control Zacian and Zamazenta's power and that his Sirfetch'd form was temporary.
