Telekinesis

You telekinesis thing is pretty cool.

–Ulrich in "Aelita."

Yumi using her magnified telekinetic ability in Wreck Room.

Telekinesis is Yumi's one and only superpower on Lyoko; which allows her to psionically levitate and throw objects from a short distance. While using telekinesis, Yumi sometimes says "Telekinesis" and is shown in a whitish-pink aura around her body. It often leaves her tired and vulnerable when she using this power, so she does not use it very often. 

Because of the digital enhancements she received in the fourth season, this psionic ability is somewhat strengthened; enabling Yum to freely utilize it more frequently and feeling more relaxed. however, she is unable to erect telekinetic force-fields around herself and her fellow Lyoko warriors for protection.  

History and Use

Garage Kids

In the originally developed storyline, Yumi possessed this unusually strong psionic ability in the real world, but that plot device was removed.

Seasons 1, 2, 3

Although she rarely used it, she had to touch her fingers to her temples and had very little mental vector and motor function while using it, turning her into an easy target.

Telekinesis can be used on people too, as seen in "Attack of the Zombies," where she uses it to transport Aelita across a "large gap" (or so it seemed) in the desert region. She can also use her strong telekinesis to control the movement of her fans while they are in flight, making their aim more accurate and unpredictable.

Season 4

As a result of the digital upgrades and improvements given by Jeremie, Yumi's telekinetic strength is increased drastically. She can now move larger objects, such as rocks, at faster speeds without tiring out. She no longer has to put her hands to her temples and is more relaxed while using it. I

Twice she used her strengthened telekinetic abilities to psionically control her Tessen fans to give them more long-range accuracy in hitting William. In "Hard Luck" she was able to telekinetically lift a large rock and cause to collapse down on William. It was last seen in flashbacks of Yumi's fond remembrances of her times as a Lyoko warrior.
