As for Silver...
"After everything you've been through, I don't believe you don't have a Pokémon with Divine Blessing Mode." Blue's expression grew a little flippant. "Or is that Ursaring the one with Divine Blessing Mode?"
Divine Blessing Mode was a powerful, rare special transformation. Top Pokémon Trainers kept it hidden like a treasure, keeping outsiders in the dark so opponents couldn't prepare for it before important competitions like T1 tournaments.
One of their everyday sources of amusement was teasing each other by guessing which Pokémon the others had with Divine Blessing Mode.
Silver's cheek twitched, but he couldn't force out a word.
In his eyes, Blue had gone from a kindly, encouraging upperclassman to a nasty one.
The kind commonly seen in anime: Hey, underclassman! Go buy me some juice! Go clean the equipment room!
With Silver unable to speak, Blue grew even more brazen. "Or is the Weavile I banned your Divine Blessing Pokémon... Hahaha, that makes sense. Sneasel's been with you since you were little."
"Stop talking..."
Silver was so embarrassed and angry that his whole face turned red.
Outside the battlefield, Shen Qi didn't know what they were saying, but the situation looked a little strange.
Why was Silver blushing as he looked at Blue, hesitating to speak... with such a beguiling look in his eyes?
Were they about to get together?!
Whatever the case, watching this battle had truly been astounding.
The Chansey beside him hadn't moved at all this whole time. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought Shen Qi had brought a giant plush toy.
Blue's intentions at the end, and the care he showed Silver, perfectly embodied that saying: having been caught in the rain himself, he wanted to hold an umbrella for others.
The two Rhyperior were also chatting away
