Chapter 288

As for why she still used Psychic to block Garchomp's Dragon Claw attack.

【Redacted】

This is not a joke!

Although it can be immune to the Dragon-type energy on the Dragon Claw!

But that punch from Garchomp!

Her Gardevoir can't take it!

On the battlefield, blue light flashed in Gardevoir's eyes.

Just for an instant.

The entire field was enveloped by a layer of blue halo.

And Garchomp, who was galloping in the field, suddenly felt its whole body enveloped by an inexplicable force.

Making its actions difficult.

In a 1v1 battle, you cannot change Pokémon.

So in this situation, wanting to break the situation can only rely on Garchomp itself.

Of course.

For Garchomp, this doesn't count as a challenge at all.

"Aerial Ace."

Cynthia's light sentence made Garchomp change tactics immediately.

Garchomp, which was originally restrained by Psychic, erupted with a strong blue light all over its body.

The organs behind it sprayed out a strong airflow.

The airflow broke through the restraint of Psychic!

Turning into a meteor and rushing toward Gardevoir in front.

"Moonblast."

Diantha didn't expect Cynthia's will to survive to be so strong today.

This didn't show any mercy at all.

Facing the rushing Garchomp, Diantha immediately ordered Gardevoir.

Moonblast is, after all, a Fairy-type move.

It has a double-effective restraint effect on the Dragon-type Garchomp.

In the current situation, even if it's an injury-for-injury exchange, her Gardevoir is making a profit.

However, seeing the scene in front of her.

Koharu in the spectator stand became anxious first.

No way.

She is not the person involved in the field, so she can only analyze by combining her knowledge of the abilities of the two Pokémon, Garchomp and Gardevoir.

In Koharu's view, the current situation is absolutely Garchomp being at a disadvantage.

After all, the power of Moonblast is much stronger than Aerial Ace!

"Ash, Champion Cynthia shouldn't lose, right?"

"Don't worry. She is Cynthia!"

Facing Koharu's worry.

Ash didn't have any hesitation and chose to stand on Cynthia's side.

Having received Ash's affirmation.

Koharu's heart actually calmed down a little.

【Lance: I didn't expect that Cynthia's battle style five years later is still so tough. This state doesn't give Champion Diantha any chance to counterattack at all.】

【Aaron: Eh? Did I miss something? Why do I feel that Champion Diantha has the advantage now? Moonblast is double-effective against Garchomp.】

【Pryce: You cannot define it just by attribute restraint; otherwise, Pokémon battles would have no meaning.】

【Drake: Dragon-types in Pokémon are known for their powerful explosive power, and Champion Cynthia's Garchomp is the most proficient in explosive power! If it weren't for the fact that Dragon-type moves cannot have any effect on the Fairy-type Gardevoir, this battle might have ended long ago.】

【Diantha: Hey, I'm still here! Besides, hasn't the battle just begun? Why does everyone think I lost!】

【Ash: I believe in Champion Cynthia; she will definitely win!】

Guandong, Silver Town.

Cynthia looked at the screen message sent by Ash on the light screen, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Ash is still quite cute like this.

However, Diantha's strength is indeed very strong.

But, she will absolutely not lose.

Cynthia and Garchomp are the best match!

……

On the screen—

A touch of pink halo lingered around Gardevoir's body.

This is the power belonging to Moonblast.

Moonblast, also known as Moon Force.

As the name suggests, it is borrowing the power of the moon to attack the opponent.

To a certain extent, it will also lower the opponent's Special Attack!

It is an extremely powerful Fairy-type move!

What's more, this is Gardevoir's STAB move!

Especially since Gardevoir condensed the power of Moonblast in front of it.

Such an action is a perfect defense plus attack no matter how you look at it!

After all, Garchomp can only attack from the front at this time!

Even if Garchomp uses the power of Aerial Ace to break free from Psychic, so what!

"Cynthia, what should you do?" Diantha muttered to herself.

There was no joy of impending victory in her eyes.

Instead, it was full of doubt.

How could Cynthia fall for this kind of attack?

The facts were indeed so.

Moonblast could absolutely cause tons of damage to the current Garchomp.

Although there is a certain gap in strength between the two sides.

But Diantha is also the Champion of the Kalos region!

Her strength is not to be underestimated.

Cynthia would absolutely not make such a low-level mistake.

So.

What is it!

"Dig!"

It's Dig!

Garchomp, which was originally like a jet plane, turned and suddenly drilled into the ground.

The timing of the drilling was just right, completely blocking the Moonblast released by Diantha's Gardevoir.

Seeing this scene, Diantha secretly said "not good."

She still underestimated Cynthia too much.

"Gardevoir, Teleport!"

In a hurry, Diantha could only command Gardevoir to dodge.

Fortunately, the reaction was timely.

Garchomp, which drilled out from under the ground, did not directly hit Gardevoir.

Seeing Gardevoir flashing in front of her.

Diantha's hanging heart finally relaxed.

Once hit by Garchomp's Dig, the next step would absolutely be Cynthia's storm-like attack.
