So I don't know if this is going to gtet a bunch of trolls or real answers, but I really would like to hear some opinions of regular peope and get a quicker response.
I am considering writing a story that would have the main character have telekinesis, and the co-main character having pyrokinesis. I was considering a slightly more scientific (probably something between a 2 and a 3 on the moh's scale of science fiction hardness) approach to the telekinesis where the main character absorbs kinetic energy and stores it to redistribute later.
My question is, if the other main character released it in a wave that hit the main character, would he be able to absorb the energy from the flames?

Why doesnt the character with telekinesis just win every fight by crushing the opponents brain.

Thanks for the idea, might use that midway through, but I gotta make it tougher than just that to keep the story interesting. I plan to have the opponents have their own defenses to keep it from going Mary Sue.

What defense is there to that though?
"Oh, I'm just gonna crush those veins in your brain and you die".
As an RPGer, I've always found manipulating kinetic energy to be bullshit, coz you can pretty much manipulate the energy and position of atoms.
Make artificial gravity by moving things superfast in a localised space. Crush, scatter or disintegrate things by imparting energy to atoms. Move fast by imparting energy on me and my surroundings. Halt harmful objects in their tracks. generate or remove heat by providing absorbing ambient kinetic energy.
Cough, bullshit, cough. Though I don't know how stringent you'll be in your world.
There is no real way to make it not bullshit. Either your character is an idiot and can't apply his abilities fully, he's OP af and is only hampered by his crippling social anxiety and poor fashion sense, or he's restricted in some ridiculous way that pretty much makes it that "oh, i don't have telekinesis, i just have this really limited and totally situational 'power' ".
As for this pyromancer fellow, you'd need to define what he does. Does he manipulate the thermal energy of objects, causing spontaneous combustion? Does he just project flame (and if so, how? Fires gotta burn something)? Is it FMA Mustang style air modification?

Thank you for this, actually. A harsh dose of reality will always make me a better writer. It's tough to create a god superpower without just all the plot-holes.

good, not god

Didn't mean to be cruel, just blunt. If you're aware of the issues from the outset, you avoid getting stuck in a corner story writing and design wise

Make up some mumbo jumbo about people having their own psychic field in their body he cannot penetrate, and him not skilled enough to do all that shit.
As for absorbing the energy of the flames you're the author, you make the rules.
