Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

Deoxys, teleport!

Kazama Shiramo wanted to pass on the command to Deoxys, but it was too late.

The moment the six Dragon Dances were completed, Garchomp closed in on Deoxys at a breathtaking speed. Dragon Claw slammed out, and Deoxys, who didn't even have time to use Teleport, was blasted away and crashed to the ground.

Kazama Shiro sighed and recalled Deoxys into its Poké Ball. He had been careless and hadn't expected this.

"When did you learn the Six-Stage Dragon Dance, Cynthia?" Kazama Shiramo looked at Cynthia, who was standing opposite him with a smile on her face, and had to admit that he really didn't expect to lose to this move.

“A long, long time ago.” Cynthia’s voice was filled with endless resentment: “Although I couldn’t learn this technique at first, even though my senior taught me step by step, I still lacked a sense of understanding. It wasn’t until the day my senior got married that I finally understood. I really wanted my senior’s praise, but I must have been stupid to take so long to learn it. Besides, you’re already married, so there’s no point in getting your praise now.”

"This is really a headache, Cynthia." Kazama Shiramo rubbed his temples and picked up another Poké Ball. Although he had anticipated Deoxys's defeat, the feeling of being defeated by his own signature move was complicated.

"Ada, you didn't expect this either, did you? How do you plan to beat me next? You don't have many Pokémon, do you? The only Pokémon that can rival Garchomp are probably Altaria and Flygon, right? Even Froslass, which has a type advantage, doesn't stand a chance against you."

Kazama Shiromo fell silent. Cynthia wasn't exaggerating. Only Flygon and Altaria could possibly defeat Garchomp in this state. Of course, in terms of attributes, Altaria, the Dragon Traitor, was more likely to win.

But is it really that simple?

Kazama Shiromo always felt that things weren't so simple, like a trap, tempting him to jump in. If he really did that, it would be like walking into a snare.

But did he have any other choice? Kyogre and Giratina were locked in combat, Ho-Oh and Lugia were absent, and of all the cards he had left, besides Flygon and Altaria, there were none stronger…

P.S. Regarding the Southern Fairy Demon, it's in its fifth rewrite, and I'm still revising it.

P.S. I'd like to recommend someone's new book on a secondary account, "After Ascension, I Came Back," a 100-word novel.

Chapter 149 2v2 (First update by Bai Mo)

What to do? Kazama Shiramo's hands were constantly turning, the Poké Balls containing Altaria and Flygon were being tossed back and forth between Kazama Shiramo's left and right hands.

Theoretically, Qixi Qingniao had a better chance in this match, but...

"What's wrong, senior? Are you hesitant?" Cynthia smiled. "Are you struggling to decide whether Altaria is better or Flygon is stronger?"

“Actually, there’s no need to think about this kind of question at all.” Cynthia smiled so brightly, like a cat that had stolen some dried fish from its owner. “Why don’t you have a 2v2 match with me, Senpai? If Flygon and Altaria can fight at the same time, that would be about the peak fighting power you have right now.”

2v2 is indeed a common mode in Pokémon battles. Generally, there are two compositions: either the same trainer commands two Pokémon, or two trainers command their respective Pokémon to battle.

Commanding two Pokémon at the same time requires a high level of skill from the trainer and also tests the coordination between the Pokémon. Of course, for both Cynthia and Kazama Shirai, controlling two Pokémon in battle at the same time is a piece of cake and there are no problems at all.

The only problem is...

The key reason why Kazama Shiramo hesitated was that Cynthia offered such favorable terms to herself.

Honestly, if it were Garchomp before it went dark, neither Flygon nor Altaria would be inferior to it, and they might even be slightly stronger.

Cynthia should be very aware of how strong Flygon and Altaria are, yet she so blatantly puts her two strongest fighters on the table. Just how confident is Cynthia right now?

However, he wouldn't have a better choice anyway. Even though he knew it was a huge pit, Kazama Shiramo was still going to jump in!

"Go, it's you I choose, Desert Dragonfly, Tanabata!"

Kazama Shiramo's Poké Ball flew out, and Flygon and Altaria appeared on the field. Their high-pitched dragon roar immediately suppressed Garchomp's momentum.

With his two trump cards on the field, Kazama Shiromo gained a lot more confidence.

The mind link was activated instantly, and the blue light in Kazama Shiramo's eyes burst forth, causing the Tanabata Bluebird to radiate brilliance!

Mega Evolution is a more solid insurance policy. Theoretically, Altaria, which evolves into a traitor to the Dragon race, can completely suppress Garchomp. Now it depends on Gardevoir's choice.

"I really miss you, senior." A hint of confusion flashed in Cynthia's eyes. "It's so nice to be able to fight against you like this."

"This isn't the time for reminiscing. If possible, I really hope you can surrender now so I can tie you up and take you back to clear your head before we talk about this."

Kazama Shiro's eyes gleamed with a captivating light as he established a mental link with both Flygon and Altaria. This placed a greater burden on Kazama Shiro than before, since neither Flygon nor Altaria were Psychic-type Pokémon, and he had to rely entirely on his own strength.

Although he once linked with twelve Pokémon at the same time for battle, he had Lugia as a backup at that time, and since Pokémon of the main gods all have some degree of telepathic power, they did not rely solely on Kazama Shiramo for the link, so the requirements for Kazama Shiramo were not very high.

The link between the desert dragonfly and the Altaria can only be maintained by Kazama Shiramo himself. Fortunately, Kazama Shiramo's superpower is strong enough to handle it, he's just a little tired afterward.

After all, double penetration is always exhausting afterwards...

If there's anything else that's not right, it's probably...

Cynthia seemed completely unconcerned, as if she was certain she would win, which was quite strange.

"Go, Lucario!" Cynthia casually tossed out the blackened Poké Ball in her hand. As Kazama Shiramo expected, it was indeed Lucario. Among the Pokémon that Cynthia possessed, apart from Garchomp, which was a pseudo-legendary Pokémon in Sinnoh, Lucario was probably the strongest. But was that all?

Admittedly, Lucario now seems to be stronger than Kazama Shiramo had ever imagined. Its reddened pupils prove that Lucario's mental state is not quite normal. However, Kazama Shiramo does not believe that Lucario and Garchomp can suppress Altaria and Flygon. So what exactly is Cynthia relying on?

What makes Cynthia so confident? Kazama Shiramo wanted to know the answer, and in fact, he was almost there too.

Cynthia's pupils began to turn red, looking very much like someone with conjunctivitis. But it was obviously not something as low-level as conjunctivitis. After Cynthia's beautiful lips slowly parted, something that defied common sense happened.

"Lucario, Garchomp, Mega Evolve!"

Kazama Shiramo thought he must have misheard, since in the world of Pokémon, a trainer can only maintain one Pokémon's Mega Evolution at a time.

While most trainers rely on bracelets and Mega Stones for Mega Evolution, in essence, Mega Evolution is still the power of the trainer and the Pokémon's hearts. It's not about evolving multiple Pokémon at the same time.

What do you think you are, with the hearts of countless primal gods?

But Cynthia succeeded anyway, giving people the feeling that signing her sister's hand would win her heart, only to find out that her sister was a monstrous figure.

Lucario roared, howling like a wolf despite being a dog, and then grew bifurcated pigtails like a cross-dresser.

After Mega Evolution, Garchomp's size actually decreased slightly, but its terrifying aura became even more imposing, and its scythe-like hands exuded a murderous intent.

Kazama Shiramo took a deep breath. It really worked! How did Cynthia manage to Mega Evolve two Pokémon at the same time? Kazama Shiramo couldn't quite figure it out.

"How did you do that?" Kazama Shiramo looked at Cynthia in confusion. "This is completely against common sense, isn't it? How did you manage to do it, Cynthia?"

"Who knows?" Cynthia's smile was sinister, giving off the impression of a female lead who had crawled out of a television drama.

Chapter 150 Traitor! (Second of five chapters)

"Who knows?" Cynthia's smile was sinister, giving the impression that she was a female lead who had crawled out of a television set.

Kazama Shiramo looked at Garchomp and Lucario, who had already completed their Mega Evolutions, hoping to see them bluffing. However, to his great regret, both Garchomp and Lucario's auras were very solid, a genuine Mega Evolution. If this were any other time, the discovery of Cynthia's actions would be an epic bombshell. The fact that two of a trainer's Pokémon could Mega Evolve at the same time would change the entire battle landscape of the Pokémon world!

However, right now only Kazama Shiramo and Cynthia are here, and no one else knows about this. Kazama Shiramo is in no mood to think about this shocking situation. After all, Kazama Shiramo is thinking about how to take down Cynthia right now, and he doesn't have the leisure to study how Cynthia was able to do this like a researcher!

The Bluebird of the Seventh Night, its secret technique—the arrival of the Moon Goddess!

Desert dragonflies are digging burrows!

The Tanabata Bird spread its feathers as it soared into the sky, instantly illuminating a huge phantom of the moon. This indiscriminate fairy-type ultimate move, an extension of the profound mystery, can be considered a true dragon killer. Before making a move, the Desert Dragonfly should hide itself first.

Luna's Descent is indeed a very powerful ultimate move, but it's meaningless if it misses, since Garchomp is known as the Earth Dragon and is also a master digger!

"Garuda, use Dig! Lucario, use Protect!"

Cynthia gave a simple order. Although Kazama Shiramo's initial attack seemed fierce, it was actually just a probing attack. This level of attack had many flaws that could be found. For a trainer of Cynthia's level, defending against it would be a very simple matter. But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

Just as Garchomp was about to use Dig, Lucario's red pupils slowly regained a sliver of clarity. Instead of using Protect as Cynthia had ordered, it suddenly conjured a bone club and charged fiercely towards Garchomp!

Oh, protect my enemies, strike my teammates! Lucario perfectly embodied the essence of this phrase, and Garchomp, completely unprepared for Lucario's attack, was instantly hit.

This shows that Lucario's good relationship with Garchomp is the fault of Lucario being too close to Garchomp. If Altaria wanted to surprise Flygon with such a surprise attack, Flygon would definitely be on guard!

"Lucario, what are you doing?" Cynthia was about to go crazy. Luna's Luna Strike hit the restrained Garchomp without any hindrance. Using Garchomp as a shield, Lucario didn't suffer much damage!

At that moment, Lucario's pupils began to change rapidly, switching back and forth between red and blue!

However, a supernatural power called waveguide was suddenly transmitted into Kazama Shiramo's heart!

Bai Mo, quick, control Cynthia! I can't maintain my sanity for long!

This is the power of aura. Lucario is truly a very magical Pokémon.

As a Fighting and Steel-type Pokémon, Lucario possesses a unique talent in mental abilities. Its Aura allows it to conceal a part of its true mind when it is brainwashed.

It finally proved its worth at the crucial moment.

After a moment of surprise, Kazama Shiramo finally reacted, teleporting behind Cynthia and grabbing her in a hug, stopping her from taking out another Poké Ball from her pocket.

Cynthia initially wanted to struggle, but after being pulled into Kazama Shiro's arms, she somehow lost the desire to struggle!

No, this won't do! I still need to defeat my senior. I want to defeat him, take him back, imprison him, and humiliate him day and night. How can I be swayed by such a small temptation?

But, but...

That's really great!

This embrace was something I had only experienced before my predecessor was twelve years old, and now, I can actually feel this happiness again.

Cynthia struggled in Kazama Shiramo's arms, struggling and struggling. After a while, she actually felt a sense of happiness. This happiness made Cynthia feel as if she were in heaven. This comfortable feeling made Cynthia think that she was probably in love... what a load of rubbish!

Isn't it too late to realize you're in love now? I've liked my senior for so many years already. If I'm going to be obsessed with Bai Mo's good looks, this isn't the kind of thing I should be doing now. Now I finally understand the saying, "Male beauty can be a killer!"

"Garuda!" Cynthia finally realized what was happening. Although Lucario had betrayed her, she still had another good friend, Garuda, whom she could trust...

Okay, that's all.

Cynthia looked at Garchomp and Lucario, who had already fallen to the ground.

It turns out that the Desert Dragonfly and the Altaria weren't idle either while Kazama Shiramo was flirting with Cynthia.

While Lucario was restraining Garchomp, Lucario didn't hesitate to use a sneak attack and knock Garchomp unconscious. Then, fulfilling Lucario's wish, Lucario was also knocked unconscious.

Although Altaria and Flygon are both very principled Pokémon, and would never take advantage of someone in a serious Pokémon battle, this is clearly not a serious Pokémon duel!

After all, where can you find a proper Pokémon battle where the two Pokémon trainers are hugging like this? If you didn't know better, you'd think they were filming a melodramatic romance animation!

You dare to step into my Night King's Mansion!

Sorry, wrong set. Anyway, seeing Garchomp and Lucario lying on the ground, and being restrained by Kazama Shirai and unable to move, Cynthia more or less understood that this capture operation had ended in failure.

Of course, I still can't admit defeat verbally!

"I will never let you get away with this!" Cynthia glared fiercely at Kazama Shiro, her face rubbing against his chest as if taking advantage of him!

"Aladdin, use Sing!" Kazama Shiramo gave the order. A fully awake Cynthia was too difficult to handle; it was better to let her sleep for a while.

Chapter 151 The Problem is Huge, Panic Will Help (Third Update)

High in the sky, Giratina and Kyogre are locked in combat!

To be honest, Kyogre is under a lot of pressure right now. His opponent is Giratina, the strongest of the three Sinnoh dragons, which is obviously not an opponent that can be easily dealt with. Moreover, Kyogre is also very worried about Bai Mo.

Since the opponent dared to leave like that, it proves that Cynthia, who stayed behind, is confident that she can defeat Bai Mo. However, for Kyogre, dealing with Giratina is already quite stressful.
