Chapter 289

At this moment, she was also glad that she had discovered the problem in time.

"As expected of the Sinnoh Champion famous for tactics, Cynthia, you really are too strong."

Diantha did not hide her praise in the slightest.

To her, losing to Cynthia was actually nothing to be ashamed of.

After all, Diantha had come to battle Cynthia in the capacity of a challenger.

"Garchomp's Dig attack did not successfully take effect; Gardevoir successfully used Teleport to dodge Garchomp's attack.

The situation on the field has once again become unpredictable; what exactly should both sides do?

Let us continue to wait and see."

The host was still commentating on the situation on the field.

It had only been an exchange of one or two rounds.

The various psychological games were enough to make one's blood boil.

"You're not weak either; to be able to see through my tactics this time, it seems you've also grown quite a bit over these years."

Cynthia tucked the long hair from her forehead behind her ear.

Then she said to Diantha with indifference.

"That's truly wonderful; my efforts have been recognized by you." Diantha smiled faintly.

Finally, she reached out and placed her hand on the necklace at her chest.

And in the very center of the necklace.

Was embedded a Key Stone.

As the Champion of Kalos, Diantha naturally possessed the ability of Mega Evolution.

"Next, let me give it my all. Shine, Mega Gardevoir."

As Diantha's words fell.

The seven-colored power of Mega Evolution shot out from the Key Stone.

It connected to the Mega Stone on Gardevoir's chest like a DNA helix.

The moment the two connected, Gardevoir bloomed with new power.

That was precisely the power belonging to Mega Evolution.

Mega Gardevoir, enters the stage!

Seeing this scene.

A trace of expression finally appeared on the face of Cynthia, who had been calm the entire match.

She curled her lips and said to Diantha in an extremely indifferent tone.

"It seems I have to get serious too. Unleash it; let the world witness our exclusive Bond Phenomenon power."

"Bond Phenomenon, Garchomp!"

Audience:???

Bond Phenomenon?

What kind of thing is this!

Is there such a power!

Only Diantha, who was standing opposite Cynthia, revealed a complex expression.

"So you have also mastered this power; it seems that guy Ash is truly capable of creating miracles."

A pale blue flame surged from within Garchomp's body.

At the same time.

A strong cyclone also erupted around Cynthia's body.

The two were just like twins.

The next moment.

A touch of golden power burst forth from within the pale blue flames.

Immediately after, the blue flames were rendered with golden light.

Within this, golden patterns were dotted onto Garchomp's skin.

At the same time.

Garchomp's entire body also became sharper and more flamboyant!

Different from the sense of clumsiness of Garchomp after Mega Evolution.

After Bond Phenomenon, Garchomp's entire body became more explosive.

The fins behind it stood tall, and the top of its head became tougher.

Even the pair of scythe-like arms became sharper.

This, precisely, is the power of Bond Phenomenon.

"Come on, witness the bond between me and Garchomp."

Cynthia flicked her hair and said to Diantha in an extremely confident tone.

"As expected of you, Champion Cynthia, you easily accomplished what others cannot easily do."

And in the spectator stands to the side!

Ash stood up directly.

No one understood what Bond Phenomenon was better than him!

This was the exclusive power he and Greninja once possessed.

Never expected Cynthia and her Garchomp to actually possess this power too!

"Ash, what exactly is Bond Phenomenon?"

As a top student, Chloe felt for the first time that her knowledge didn't seem that rich.

It was as if she truly didn't know what Bond Phenomenon was.

"Bond Phenomenon is the power that erupts when the bond between a Pokémon and its Trainer reaches the deepest level."

Ash could only explain it like this.

After all, that kind of power was too metaphysical regardless.

So much so that Ash himself hadn't figured out how he obtained Bond Phenomenon back then.

【Professor Sycamore: Ahhh! The data I just wrote about Mega Evolution, do I have to start writing it all over again now! My heavens, Champion Cynthia, you are increasing the difficulty of my work.】

【Professor Oak: Bond Phenomenon, this shouldn't have much to do with Mega Evolution, after all, Cynthia also didn't use a Key Stone and Mega Stone.

And looking at it like this, it is completely a new form born from the mutual influence of the bond between Cynthia and Garchomp. If I really had to say what it's like, it's a bit like the ability boost used by Ash's Mega Charizard X mentioned before.】

【Cynthia: As expected of Professor Oak, you guessed it right on the first try. I did indeed receive a reward from the livestream, and the reward obtained was indeed Bond Phenomenon.】

【Cynthia: However, this is indeed different from Mega Evolution; the evolution it triggers is caused by the bond between myself and the Pokémon.】

【Professor Oak: Then it seems Bond Phenomenon is a new subject; I just don't know if this is a special ability given by the livestream or something that can be referenced in the real world.】

【Professor Sycamore: Now that you mention it, I remember that in the records of Kalos, Greninja possessed the ability to undergo Bond Phenomenon with its Trainer; perhaps it is somewhat similar to the reward Champion Cynthia obtained.】

【Cynthia: It's possible; you can research in this direction.】

【Ash: Garchomp after Bond Phenomenon is so cool! That sharpness feels like it's about to break through the light screen!】

【Gary: Truly cool! A new power born from becoming one with the Pokémon! This sounds like a protagonist exclusive! Just wait, I will definitely obtain this power.】

【Ash: You'd better give up; if anyone is to obtain it, it must be me! The future me will definitely catch a Greninja!】

Backup Group 2: 893964460

【Gary: So what! There are so many Trainers who caught Greninja, how can you be sure you are the special one?】

Gary was very unconvinced.

After all, he was the protagonist!

Ash was just the second male lead!

【Cattleya: Am I the only one who thinks the chemistry between Ash and Cynthia is very strong? Ash is very likely to also have Bond Phenomenon; the two are really a perfect match!】

【Lusamine: It's true, Ash and Cynthia are really too good to ship!】

In the screen—

Garchomp, having completed Bond Phenomenon, was like a drawn blade.

Its sharpness illuminated the entire Wyndon Stadium.

Such radiance, even Gardevoir, which had already completed Mega Evolution, was somewhat stunned!
