Chapter 287

【Elesa: It really is Shadow Ball! Flint Elite Four was telling the truth.】

【Leon: This might be some kind of tactic. Champion Diantha's strength is still very powerful; I can prove this.】

【Mustard: Little Leon is right. Letting the opponent ignore your tactics is itself a very clever tactic.】

【Flint: Really? It turns out I was only on the first floor! No wonder I can't beat Big Sister!】

【Diantha: Kno... know it, then.】

Diantha is very panicked now.

She doesn't know why either.

Why does she have to habitually use Shadow Ball as soon as she comes up!

Clearly, Shadow Ball is not Gardevoir's STAB move either!

Not right!

Feels like being controlled by something!

Looking at the live broadcast on the light screen.

Diantha knew it was going to be bad.

This time it's aimed at her!

……

On the screen—

The battle between Cynthia and Diantha officially began.

Garchomp didn't slow down after splitting the Shadow Ball.

The emerald green Dragon Claw flashed with cold light!

"Cynthia, it really is your style. The posture of going forward without looking back is truly admirable."

Facing an evenly matched opponent, Diantha even had the mood to tease a few words.

"Garchomp, Dragon Claw."

Facing Diantha's teasing, Cynthia didn't make any response.

Instead, she commanded her Garchomp to launch an attack.

"Gar!"

Garchomp's scarlet eyes flashed with a faint light—it's fired up!

"Gardevoir, Psychic!"

Seeing that Cynthia didn't intend to pay attention to her, but instead the desire to attack became even higher.

Diantha could only devote herself entirely to the battle.

Her ace Pokémon is Gardevoir, after all, not Gallade.

Wanting to fight to the death with Cynthia's Garchomp in close combat is clearly wishful thinking.

But, she is not without means of counter-restraint.

Everyone is a Champion; the gap in strength is not that exaggerated.

(Self-assumed)

What's more, Gardevoir has the Fairy-type that restrains Dragon-types.

Even Garchomp's Dragon Claw now cannot have any effect on the Fairy-type Gardevoir. ===== CHAPTER 288 =====
