Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Simultaneously.

He also walked out of the players' tunnel, stood under the spotlight, and appeared in everyone's sight.

With the appearance of the two.

The cheers from the audience grew increasingly enthusiastic.

"Both players, please get ready."

"Battle begins!"

...

Inside the private room.

Four young men, all with almost identical movements, stood with their arms crossed in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the arena.

Eternal God Emperor

Who do you think will win?

Wataru, who had just finished his battle with Natsuhiko and lost, did not show much discouragement or disappointment. Instead, he turned his head curiously to look at Natsuhiko beside him and asked.

“Cynthia”.

Xia Yan uttered the name almost without thinking or hesitation.

"So certain?" Daigo raised an eyebrow.

Qinglu couldn't help but look at Xia Yan.

Why does he think Crimson has a higher chance of winning?

Xia Yan shrugged with a smile, a hint of mockery on his face.

"You don't really think I can decide the outcome of their match with just a few words, do you?"

Everyone: "..."

Slowly suppressing his smile, Xia Yan's expression turned slightly serious as he looked towards the field.

"To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if either of them won."

This sentence.

He did receive nods of agreement from the others.

If it were the original work, Xia Yan might not have had such thoughts.

In the original work.

Cynthia vs. Crimson?

Even a fool knows that Crimson is a sure win.

This seemingly superhuman "combatant" is practically the pinnacle of combat power in the original work.

He is a "battle legend," a figure who transcends even the "champion."

But now...

Hard to say.

The only thing Xia Yan knew was that Crimson had not yet had any Pokémon reach the Legendary level, and Cynthia also had no Pokémon that had reached the Legendary level, so this battle was uncertain.

perhaps.

The key to determining the outcome of this match lies in who performs best, who has the greatest desire to win, and who devises the most ingenious tactics.

"Aerodactyl is going to lose. Cynthia's Lucario fighting skills are too good."

"Tsk, Red sent out Charizard as their second Pokémon? Lucario's type disadvantage is too obvious."

"This red Charizard is no weaker than Lance and Leon's, right? It's going to take on two at once, Cynthia's Togekiss can't stop it."

"Cynthia's luck was really bad this time; Togekiss's 'Air Slash' missed twice."

"However, it also caused considerable damage to the red Charizard."

"Cynthia's third Pokémon is... Milotic?"

"While Milotic has a type advantage over Charizard, if the third Pokémon is Milotic, then Cynthia's fourth Pokémon will definitely be Garchomp. Isn't choosing a Pokémon like that a bit... hasty? There are quite a few Pokémon in Red that can counter Milotic."

"No, quite the opposite. This shows that Cynthia has absolute confidence in her Garchomp."

"But... Cynthia's Milotic seems to... only just reached Champion-level strength, right?"

"If we choose Gastrodon, and then Red summons Venusaur, we'll be completely outmatched. Milotic is the best choice."

"That was close. We finally defeated the red Charizard. We almost got wiped out in a three-on-one fight."

"But that would put a lot of pressure on me."

"The third crimson Pokémon... Pikachu?"

"Gigantamax? Red chose to save the power-up for Pikachu?"

"Electric-type Pokémon can't do much real damage to Cynthia's Garchomp, Crimson's choice..."

"It's troublesome."

"Trouble? Xia Yan, what do you mean?"

"Pikachu... can 'play around'."

"Ok?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Good heavens. Crimson has also learned tactical planning?" Green's face showed a hint of surprise.

This is like... a brute who knows martial arts, who can stop him?

“And, this crimson Pikachu…” Xia Yan rested his chin on his hand, his expression serious, but surprise gradually appeared in his eyes, “They… seem to have already touched the threshold.”

threshold?

Everyone seemed to suddenly understand something, and looked at the crimson figure and the enormous giant Pikachu on the field with some surprise.

Crimson actually reached the threshold of the legendary level even before them?

In a short time.

Wataru, Daigo, and Aomori all felt considerable pressure.

"Super Giant Thunderbolt!"

"

Mega Pikachu's attack instantly defeated Cynthia's Milotic.

With Cynthia here, only one Pokémon remains.

Garchomp!

But even if only this last one remains.

Cynthia also maintained absolute confidence in herself and her Pokémon!

The arrival of Garchomp is truly exciting.

Even when facing a gigantic Gigantamax Pikachu, Cynthia's Garchomp maintained its domineering stance.

Cynthia didn't hesitate to use her Mega Evolution on Garchomp.

This is her last trump card!

Gigantamax Pikachu VS Mega Garchomp!

Attribute restraint was not the decisive factor.

Because Pikachu, with the boost from Gigantamax, unleashed the Dynamax Fairy-type move "Max Fairy," and the resulting terrain effect "Misty Terrain," which significantly impacted and suppressed Garchomp, a pseudo-legendary Dragon-type.

The Fairy-type move used by Pikachu, the electric mouse, reversed a certain type disadvantage, which surprised most viewers.

Moreover, this match was quite intense.

Gigantamax grants Pokémon not only a significant increase in size, but also immense physical strength.

This allows it to withstand attacks even from Cynthia's Mega Garchomp, a Pokémon with extremely high burst damage, without losing.

"Garuda, Earthquake!"

"

at last.

Under Cynthia's command, Mega Garchomp's powerful Earthquake, while causing massive damage to the arena, finally defeated Crimson Pikachu.

"Wow. This Pikachu is way too strong."

Lance, Steven, and the others were quite surprised by the power displayed by the red Pikachu.

“Miss Cynthia’s Garchomp is even more terrifying.”

In its emerald green eyes, the ferocious and menacing figure of Mega Garchomp was reflected, along with a deep sense of amazement.

Teacher Xia Yan said that Red and his Pikachu have already touched the threshold of "legendary".

Despite having the boost from Gigantamax, it was still defeated head-on by Cynthia's Garchomp.

How strong is this Garchomp?

No wonder it's the ace Pokémon that gives Cynthia such confidence.

“But Crimson still has one elf left.” Lance couldn’t help but shake his head.

"And it's almost certain that this last one, the Crimson One, will be his Blastoise."

Daigo also said with considerable certainty.

While Cynthia's Garchomp is indeed strong, it's hard to say what the outcome will be against Red's Blastoise at its peak, especially considering the significant injuries Garchomp sustained during its battles with Gigantamax Pikachu.

At least.

From the current perspective...

Crimson has a much better chance of winning than Cynthia.
