Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

"Who is Your Highness?" Kazama Shiramo was secretly on guard. The cunning old fox had already placed Deoxys's Poké Ball in his hand. Kazama Shiramo was quite certain that Cynthia was no match for him now. However, he needed to think carefully about how to subdue Cynthia without harming her.

After all, in this situation, Froslass, whose moves are all wide-area AOE, is obviously not suitable. The fighting styles of Dragonite, Altaria, and Flygon are too wide and powerful and could easily hurt Cynthia. It seems that Deoxys is more suitable than the current one.

With its flexible and versatile abilities, as well as its formidable combat skills, Deoxys can both protect and restrain opponents during battle. It seems that using Deoxys would be quite suitable.

"Go, Deoxys, I choose you!" Kazama Shiramo summoned Deoxys like a traditional, hot-blooded male protagonist.

Long, slender tentacles waved, and Deoxys's light waves slowly swept over Cynthia, floating in front of her.

"Go ahead, I choose you, Garchomp!" Cynthia recognized the Poké Ball in her hand; it was indeed Garchomp, the pseudo-legendary Sinnoh Pokémon that Cynthia was so proud of.

However, Garchomp doesn't seem to be in a very good state right now.

Kazama Shiro watched as Garchomp exhaled a scorching dragon breath, which contained a dark aura that Garchomp could not possibly possess, clearly indicating that Garchomp had also been affected by something.

However, Kazama Shiramo still tried to wake up Garchomp: "Garchomp, do you remember me?"

Garchomp glared fiercely at Kazama Shiromo, responding with a scorching dragon breath.

Deoxys raised its protective shield and teleported in front of Kazama Shiro. The Garchomp's dragon breath made Kazama Shiro realize that it was probably impossible to resolve the issue without fighting.

Deoxys floated in mid-air. Although her face showed no emotion, the electrical waves she emitted indicated that she was truly angry.

Now it seems like any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to ignore me like this. Doesn't Deoxys have any dignity?

Sensing Deoxys's growing fighting spirit, Kazama Shiramo also put aside his own thoughts and decided to have a long-awaited final battle with Cynthia!

With a gleaming blue light in his eyes, Kazama Shiramo's mind link connected with Deoxys. Sensing the deep resentment in Deoxys's heart, Kazama Shiramo comforted Deoxys, intending to let her release her emotions.

After all, the opponent is Cynthia. No matter what, today's battle is sure to be incredibly exciting.

Chapter 147 Cynthia: Senpai, I like you!

"Garuda, use Dragon Pulse!"

As Garchomp opened its mouth, scorching flames surged forth.

Deoxys, switch to Protect Mode! Protect!

The protective barrier suddenly activated, and the white light barrier easily blocked Garchomp's dragon breath.

Generally speaking, it is very difficult to use the Protect skill continuously. Using this skill continuously is quite difficult for Pokémon. It's like if you manage to get it the first time, it will be much more difficult to get it the second time.

Therefore, continuously using the Protect skill actually requires a considerable amount of strength and skill from both the Pokémon and the user.

Deoxys is clearly a Pokémon that fulfills this need, especially in its defensive stance, where it is incredibly adept at using Protect.

The moment the protection ended, Deoxys instantly switched to its attack form, revealing its sharp, pointed horns. At that moment, Deoxys's special attack instantly swelled to a terrifying level!

Mental interference!

The signature move of Psychic-type Pokémon is a move that almost every Psychic-type Pokémon can learn as it grows up. It's common, but absolutely useful.

Unfortunately, the person on the other side was Cynthia.

Crunch! Dark-type energy instantly enveloped Garchomp, and combined with that dark energy, it looked even more terrifying. It instantly broke through the area of ​​mental interference and rushed in front of Deoxys, opening its blood-red maw.

Instant teleportation!

Deoxys used Blink to escape Garchomp's Dragon Fang. In its Attack Mode, Deoxys was as fragile as a piece of paper. If it had actually taken that attack, Kazama Shirasumi could already guess the outcome: certain death!

Blue light flashed in Kazama Shiramo's eyes, and Deoxys instantly switched to Speed ​​Mode upon receiving the command.

Kazama Shiramo really loves using Pokémon like Deoxys. This kind of Pokémon, which can be switched so easily, combined with the seamless command through telepathy, can show endless possibilities!

The profound secret of the Mind's Eye - Lightning Flash!

With its lightning-fast first strike, combined with the absolute accuracy of Mind's Eye and its terrifyingly continuous, unstoppable combat techniques, Garchomp became an easy target.

Strangely, Cynthia showed no intention of dodging. Garchomp stood there blankly, the black aura emanating from its body puzzled Kazama Shiramo.

Wait! Stop, Deoxys!

Deoxys teleported away from the battlefield. After escaping the terrifying high-speed combat, Kazama Shirabu suddenly realized that Deoxys was actually covered in wounds.

Is it a characteristic of sharkskin?

That's impossible. Of course, Kazama Shiramo couldn't ignore this problem, but how could such a simple sharkskin characteristic lead to this result?

In its Speed ​​Form, Deoxys boasts terrifying speed, but aside from speed, its other attributes are quite average. It's definitely not a squishy creature that would be killed by Thornmail. Why is that?

Kazama Shiramo was completely baffled by the sight of his sister.

"Are you surprised, Senior Bai Mo?" Cynthia's smile became somewhat sickly. Normally, Cynthia is a very cold person on the outside but very gentle on the inside. Of course, she doesn't have any yandere tendencies, otherwise Kazama Bai Mo wouldn't be alive today.

"Senior, Garchomp is quite different now."

Upon hearing this, Kazama Shiromo watched as the sharp spikes and angles on Garchomp's body began to extend like fangs, and the already sharp texture on its skin rippled like saw teeth.

"What the hell is this?" Kazama Shiramo looked at Garchomp as if he had seen a ghost. Garchomp didn't look like this at all. Had this Garchomp eaten some kind of superfood?

"Of course I know it's very difficult to beat you, senior, but if it's Garchomp right now, it's really possible. By the way, I'm really surprised that you didn't use Flygon." Cynthia's golden bangs covered one eye, making it look like that eye could be donated to someone in need.

"What exactly happened to you, Cynthia?" Kazama Shiramo looked at Cynthia, who was standing there grinning, and sighed. "Although none of that matters anymore, once I catch you, I'll find a way to turn you back!"

"Change back? Senior, do you think I need to change back?" Cynthia seemed to have heard something amusing: "I really don't need to, Senior, I'm fine now!"

“You’re not mentally stable right now.” Kazama Shiramo shook his head and said, “I will save your Cynthia!”

“FNMDP.” Cynthia’s eyes flashed with madness: “If you were going to save me, you should have been with me in the first place!”

Kazama Shiramo...

It seemed that he had inadvertently overheard something incredible. Kazama Shiramo wanted to pretend he didn't understand, but the sickly-looking Cynthia smiled and said something that Kazama Shiramo could not ignore at all.

I like you.

"Senior, I really like you so much."

"Senior, I've always, always liked you so much!"

Kazama Shiromoto gave a bitter smile, unsure of what to say: "Why..."

"I've always liked you, Senpai, so why can't you see it? Why can't you see it?" Cynthia's face was flushed and sickly, like a shy girl in love, making it hard to understand her.

"Isn't it too late to say this now?" Kazama Shiromo gave a helpless bitter smile. After being married for N years, what else could he do besides having an extramarital affair and going to a hotel room with her?

"It's not too late!" Cynthia's eyes were filled with dark energy, making her look like a demon in disguise. "As long as we defeat you here, we can take you back and imprison you. How wonderful!"

"No matter how you look at it, it's wrong, isn't it? This idea of ​​imprisonment?" Kazama Shiro suddenly shivered, suddenly remembering the fear of being imprisoned by Groudon underground. He really didn't want to go back to those dark and miserable days of being exploited every day.

"That's not up to you, senior." With Cynthia's voice, Garchomp stood upright, its body swelling to more than twice its previous size, making it look like a monster.

“This kind of external force is evil, Cynthia.” Kazama Shiramo sensed the changes in Garchomp. It was clear that the Garchomp was being controlled by some kind of evil power, but this kind of ability generated by external force had a significant impact on Pokémon.

"No matter what, as long as we can catch our senior, that's all that matters." A crazed look appeared in Cynthia's eyes; something had changed today.

P.S. I'm back with my diligent self!

148 You too can do the Six-Stage Dragon Dance

All she had to do was grab the senior and bring her home, and so on. Cynthia could already imagine a whole TB seed.

As long as you can win over your seniors, everything will be fine!

Having received a gift from Arceus, Garchomp has begun to transform in its very essence. Although there is a slight price to pay, it doesn't matter, as long as it can defeat its predecessor!

I seem a little panicked.

Kazama Shiro watched as Garchomp's aura continued to rise. Although it was an evil power, the fact remained that it had become stronger. With Cynthia's abilities, it was impossible for her to lose control of her Pokémon and cause them to disobey her.

Garchomp is now significantly stronger than Deoxys. Although Deoxys's Agility allows it to keep up, it's unlikely to gain an advantage against a Champion Trainer like Cynthia.

However, sensing Deoxys's intense desire to win, Kazama Shirabu knew that Deoxys clearly did not want to leave the arena at this moment.

Deoxys refuses to admit defeat. It has its own pride too. It even dared to go up against Rayquaza. There's no reason for it to back down here. That would be too embarrassing.

Deoxys, do you really want to continue?

Kazama Shiramo inwardly questioned Deochis, respecting his decision.

There was no need to choose. Deoxys switched to its attack form. Close combat was never Deoxys's forte. Even though the Speed ​​Form and Nen provided Deoxys with the ability to fight head-on, that was definitely not Deoxys's strongest point.

"Then let's do it your way." A dark blue light flashed wildly in Kazama Shiramo's eyes.

Honestly, the win rate for this match is really, really low, just like the Deoxys vs. Rayquaza match that day. Although Deoxys seemed to be evenly matched with Rayquaza, and even seemed to have a slight advantage.

However, that was merely because Deoxys's flashy combat abilities only seemed to achieve a superficial suppression; in reality, they couldn't inflict any effective damage on Rayquaza, and Rayquaza wasn't even taking it seriously.

The current situation is similar. While Deoxys can currently suppress Garchomp with its fancy maneuvers, it will eventually be unable to match it due to its significantly lower base stats.

However, since Deoxys is her Pokémon, and she wants to be stubborn, Kazama Shiramo has no reason to disagree.

After all, Pokémon are like your little waifu, so there's no reason not to pamper them.

Deoxys leaped into the air; in a battle against a Pokémon like Garchomp, maintaining distance is an advantage.

After all, Garchomp's greatest strength lies in its terrifying melee ability; if you can avoid it as much as possible, you can gain a certain advantage.

However, there is a very awkward problem: although Garchomp is called Garchomp and its nickname is Garchomp, this Pokémon actually... can fly.

That's right, just like Flygon, although they are Ground-type Pokémon, they can actually fly...

Groudon, you're so pitiful!

Garchomp leaped into the air and charged straight at Deoxys like a fighter jet.

With a nimble teleport, Deoxys nimbly turned around, causing Garchomp to pounce on nothing in the air as usual.

The instant Garchomp missed its target, Deoxys unleashed a burst of Ice Beam, which shone brightly and whistled away!

Garchomp retaliated with a Flamethrower.

The ice and red hues instantly merged in the air, and the burst of water vapor formed a mist that permeated the entire venue.

However, Deoxys was not a creature that could determine the location of its opponent by sight, and it immediately found the figure in the mist.

The other person seems to be...dancing...

No, that's it!

Kazama Shiromoto's eyes widened. Six-Stage Dragon Dance...

My goodness, when did Cynthia learn her ultimate technique? Wait, it seems like I taught her before, and then I didn't pay attention to this question!
