Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

This is a 1v1 battle; the match ends when one Pokémon is unable to battle!

"Now! Please welcome both contestants to the arena!"

As the host finished speaking.

Karuno and Cynthia walked from the stands on either side of the Palace Gate Arena onto the battlefield.

"Both players are ready. Please send out your Pokémon."

The referee then announced the start of the match.

Even 5 years later.

Karuno still sported her signature short, neat haircut.

Even so, it couldn't hide her innate aura.

"Cynthia, does it seem you have a reason not to lose this time?"

Karuno looked at Cynthia, who had a serious expression, with great interest.

I don't know why this year.

Cynthia is particularly focused on the World Championships.

They even climbed all the way to the second-ranked position in the world.

This is a bit strange, since Cynthia has focused on the study of myths and archaeology all these years.

Those familiar with Cynthia can clearly sense that her enthusiasm for battles is waning. (Okay, Zhao)

But this year is different.

Cynthia's enthusiasm was incredibly high.

As a close friend of Cynthia, Diantha immediately understood why Cynthia was like this.

Her gaze drifted to Ash, who was waving his hands enthusiastically in the stands.

"Xiao Zhi is still as enthusiastic as ever."

Cynthia didn't deny anything.

She tossed her long, golden hair and decisively took a Poké Ball from the pocket of her black trench coat.

"Just like you said, I have a reason why I can't afford to fail this time."

"Go, Garchomp!"

With that, Cynthia threw the Poké Ball in her hand.

Next up is Cynthia's trump card!

Pseudo-Legendary – Garchomp!

Cynthia's first partner, and also her strongest ace!

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, I'll choose you, Gardevoir."

A smile appeared on Karuno's lips.

The Pokémon that Diantha summons are also her trump card.

It is Gardevoir, who is known as the Fairy Queen.

The moment the Pokémon from both sides appeared, the scene erupted in chaos.

Cynthia is the best!

"Champion Karuno! I'm your fan!"

Even Ash is cheering for Cynthia.

Although Diantha is also an old friend of Ash's, compared to Cynthia...

Karuno should be ranked later.

Hearing Ash's voice coming from the sidelines, Cynthia couldn't help but smile.

"Go, Garchomp! Use Dragon Claw!"

"Gardedoll, Shadow Ball!"

The coaches of the two female champions arrived at the same time.

The two Pokémon in the arena immediately took action.

Green dragon power shimmered on Garchomp's claws.

At the same time, Gardevoir clasped its hands together.

Two shadow orbs instantly coalesced.

next moment.

The Shadow Ball thrown by Gardevoir collided with the charging Garchomp!

audience:!!!

Ah Nai, are you serious?!

Stop! That's not how you use Gardevoir!!

[Little Chrysanthemum: It really is a Shadow Ball! Big Leaf King was actually telling the truth.]

[Leon: This might be some kind of tactic. The Champion, Karuno, is still very strong; I can attest to that.]

[Ma Shide: Xiao Dandan is right. Making the opponent overlook your own tactics is itself a very clever tactic.]

[Da Ye: Really? I was only on level 1! No wonder I couldn't beat the boss!]

[Karuno: I... I know, that's good.]

Karuno is panicking right now.

She didn't know why.

Why do I habitually use Shadow Ball right from the start?

Shadow Ball isn't even Gardevoir's STAB move!

Something is wrong!

I feel like I'm being controlled by something!

Watching the live broadcast on the screen.

Karuno knew something bad was going to happen.

I came here specifically for this!

……

In the picture—

The battle between Cynthia and Diantha has just begun.

Garchomp's speed doesn't decrease after slicing through the Shadow Ball.

A cold light gleamed from the emerald green dragon claws!

"Cynthia, that's really your style. Your fearless attitude is truly admirable."

Facing an equally matched opponent, Karuno even had the mood to make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Garuda, Dragon Claw".

Cynthia did not respond to Karuno's teasing.

Instead, it commanded its Garchomp to launch an attack.

"strong!!"

A glint of light flickered in Garchomp's crimson eyes; it was ablaze!

"Gardevoir, strong mind!"

Seeing that Cynthia was ignoring him, his desire to attack only intensified.

Karuno had no choice but to devote all her energy to the battle.

His ace Pokémon was Gardevoir, not Gallade.

It's obviously wishful thinking to think you can fight Cynthia's Garchomp to the death in close combat.

However, she is not without means of countermeasures.

Everyone here is a champion, and the difference in their abilities isn't that dramatic.

(What I thought)

Moreover, Gardevoir is a Fairy-type Pokémon that is effective against Dragon-type Pokémon.

Even Garchomp's Dragon Claw attack is completely ineffective against Fairy-type Gardevoir.
