Chapter 292

Was all the setup for the final kill!

Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia.

The strongest female Trainer in the world today!

"Mega Gardevoir! Use Hyper Beam!"

Diantha also understood that she had no way to win.

The chain of Stealth Rock and Stone Edge just now had only one purpose.

That was to make her Mega Gardevoir lose the ability to act.

Cynthia was gambling, gambling that she would definitely use Dazzling Gleam to tank the Stone Edge.

This way, the Stealth Rock distributed by Mega Garchomp on the field would be preserved without reservation.

Compared to Spikes, which is Mega Garchomp's STAB move, Stealth Rock also had the effect of aerial interception.

No wonder she had to use Rock-type moves.

Doing this could prevent her Mega Gardevoir from using Psychic to float its body and dodge Mega Garchomp's Earthquake.

What a calculation!

Diantha smiled.

Although she couldn't win the battle, there was still a chance to gamble on a mutual destruction.

Gardevoir's ability after Mega Evolution would change to Pixilate.

And the Pixilate ability changes Normal-type moves to Fairy-type and increases the move's power by 1.2 times.

Hyper Beam was originally the most powerful Special Attack move of the Normal type.

The power was as high as 150!

Plus the blessing of Pixilate and Mega Gardevoir's own Fairy type.

If this Hyper Beam hit.

Diantha was confident she could successfully trade for Cynthia's Garchomp!

Just that!

"This match was won by Ms. Cynthia!"

On the sidelines, Ash said excitedly to Chloe beside him.

After so many years of growth, he had already been able to understand Cynthia's chain.

All the setup was for the final Earthquake to hit!

From the previous Dragon Claw making Diantha let down her guard, to the chain of Stone Edge and Stealth Rock blocking the possibility of Mega Gardevoir floating to dodge the Earthquake.

It can only be said that the Sinnoh region is indeed the league that values tactics the most in the entire world.

Cynthia, as the Sinnoh Champion, is the queen standing at the pinnacle of tactics!

【Flint: Big Sis is really too cool! I was just wondering why she didn't use Spikes, so that's what it meant! No wonder I'm always suppressed by Psychic-types in battles with Lucian; it turns out I forgot the special nature of the Psychic type.】

【Sabrina: If you're stupid, don't blame it on the Psychic type. In battles with Psychics or Pokémon, don't you know how to guard against special moves like Psychic?】

【Cattleya: Exactly, using Psychic to float your body to dodge Ground-type skills, isn't this basic common sense?

Champion Diantha, how could she not possess this common sense! Didn't you see that from beginning to end, Mega Gardevoir's eyes were flashing with blue psychic light?】

【Drayden: It can only be said as expected of Champion Cynthia; she utilized Champion Diantha's cognitive bias. You know I will definitely use Earthquake, and I also know you will definitely guard against me using Earthquake.

But I do the opposite, using every factor to create the conditions for my Earthquake to hit.】

【Lance: Truly impressive. If it were Stealth Rock used by other Trainers, I think Champion Diantha's Mega Gardevoir could still break through with its own strength.

But the opponent is Champion Cynthia's Mega Garchomp, so forget it. Once you use Psychic to fly and trigger Stealth Rock, the subsequent attacks from Mega Garchomp will definitely be like a storm.】

【Ash: So... so amazing! Honestly, I didn't think that much!】

【Brock: Rock and Ground types are actually inseparable; the move sets of both Pokémon have many commonalities, but the gap in actual combat is very large.

To be able to use it like Champion Cynthia, one must have a very strong tactical reserve to master it; this is very difficult to achieve.】

【Steven: Didn't expect that five years have passed, and Cynthia has become even stronger; I'm really looking forward to what I will be like in five years.】

【Wallace: Forget about you; in five years you'll probably still be digging for stones.】

Those who could express their opinions were all Trainers with sufficient strength.

The battle had reached the end.

The previous arrangements had long since been revealed.

Diantha hadn't done anything wrong in every step.

She had even made what she considered the best choice from her perspective.

(Excluding the opening Shadow Ball)

But she still fell step by step into the trap Cynthia had set for her.

Upon realizing that Cynthia wanted Mega Garchomp to use Earthquake.

Even if she used Psychic to make Mega Gardevoir float.

It was too late; touching the Stealth Rock triggered an explosion.

Diantha couldn't be sure how long her Mega Gardevoir could hold on.

And how many seconds Cynthia's Mega Garchomp could sustain the Earthquake.

So she could only gamble!

In the screen—

Mega Gardevoir's hands gathered in front of the red heart on its chest.

The Hyper Beam, which should have been orange, condensed a pink light.

The ground in front of Mega Gardevoir was still cracking towards the direction it was in.

Mega Gardevoir knew that there wasn't much time left for it.

Before the Earthquake arrived.

Mega Gardevoir successfully condensed the Hyper Beam, converted it into Fairy-type energy, and successfully launched it.

The energy cut through the sky like a pink arrow piercing the clouds.

The target of the arrow was precisely Mega Garchomp on the other side of the field.

Just that.

When Diantha saw the smile hanging on the corner of Cynthia's mouth clearly.

She understood that her idea of mutual destruction had fallen through.

Sure enough.

The Earthquake successfully arrived.

The earth-yellow energy, as heavy as the earth, instantly submerged Mega Gardevoir.

Mega Gardevoir fell to the ground without any surprise, shed its Mega Evolution form, and lost the ability to battle.

At the same time.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Mega Garchomp.

They also wanted to see how Mega Garchomp would face this strengthened Hyper Beam.

This was a Fairy-type move that dealt double damage to Dragon types!

It was even more of a Dragon-slaying weapon that had been double-strengthened!

What should Mega Garchomp do!

Cynthia just smiled playfully at this.

She curled her lips and said in a slightly playful tone.

"Dig."

Audience:???

No! How can you still do this!

At the moment Cynthia's words fell.

Mega Garchomp's figure instantly disappeared into the field.

The Hyper Beam shot out by Mega Gardevoir undoubtedly swept past the place where Mega Garchomp had disappeared.

Subsequently, the Hyper Beam, containing extremely strong power, shot straight onto the protective shield of Wyndon Stadium.
