"Woooo~!
Lugia's low cry echoed through the sky, and under the dark rain clouds, the heavy rain poured down.
Caitlin and Cynthia were both soaked, and their battle was still ongoing.
As Lugia's Hydro Pump hit, Heatran was heavily blasted away, falling to the ground, finally unable to get up.
Cynthia's delicate face was solemn as she recalled Heatran, looking at the majestic Lugia in the sky.
The pressure from this Lugia was simply too great. Although during the battle, both Mega Garchomp and Heatran had hit Lugia multiple times.
However, Lugia's defense was too strong, and most importantly... it could also use Recover! It could restore its stamina and status on its own.
Thus, if she couldn't defeat Lugia in a short amount of time, she wouldn't be able to win this battle.
"Caitlin, I have surpassed you! In this battle, the ultimate victor will only be me!
Caitlin spoke indifferently.
"Caitlin, the battle isn't over yet. Are you already so eager to give your victory speech?
Cynthia was very calm and threw out two more Poké Balls.
Spiritomb and Togekiss appeared in front of her.
"Spiritomb, huh..." Caitlin narrowed her eyes slightly and decisively ordered Lugia.
"Lugia, Safeguard.
Lugia cried out loudly, its body beginning to shimmer with a mysterious glow, a halo constantly swirling around Lugia.
The Normal-type Safeguard can prevent the user's Pokémon from falling into abnormal statuses and some negative statuses for a period of time.
And Caitlin had Lugia use Safeguard to prevent Spiritomb's Curse!
The Ghost-type Curse is a very troublesome move.
Although Curse is a status change and not an abnormal status, Safeguard can indeed resist the Curse status.
"As expected of you, Caitlin.
Seeing this, Cynthia couldn't help but frown slightly. The reason she sent out Spiritomb was precisely to use Curse against Lugia.
However, it was clear that Caitlin was very vigilant and immediately used Safeguard to prevent Curse.
"After all, I'm battling you, Cynthia, so I must be fully committed, right?" Caitlin replied calmly.
"You refused Champion Leon's help, Cynthia. That was your biggest mistake.
"No, it was the correct decision.
Cynthia, however, shook her head and looked at Caitlin.
"I don't understand, Caitlin.
"Why are you so resistant to me? Mammon can't possibly marry only you. His girlfriend, didn't she also participate in this battle?
Cynthia asked the doubt in her heart.
Why is she so resistant to Cynthia?
Caitlin couldn't help but fall silent upon hearing this, her emotions gradually surging. Yes, why did she react so strongly when she heard Cynthia say she liked Mammon?
"You said it yourself back then, Caitlin, you know very well that Mammon can't possibly marry only you.
Cynthia spoke again when Caitlin didn't answer.
"These have nothing to do with our battle." Caitlin replied calmly.
In fact, she already had the answer in her heart.
"Caitlin, you haven't even confirmed your relationship with Mammon yet, have you?
But Cynthia also had a guess at this moment, looking at her sister with a strange expression.
"Cynthia!!
However, these words made Caitlin cry out in shame and anger.
Hiss~ Caitlin, what in the world are you doing?
Cynthia looked at Caitlin in astonishment, taking a sharp breath.
No sister, how long has it been, and your progress is still stuck there?
Cynthia now probably understood why Caitlin reacted so strongly to her.
On one hand, it was because of the relationship between the two of them. For Caitlin, Cynthia was, after all, that special person.
On the other hand, it was because Caitlin herself hadn't even confirmed her relationship with Mammon, and Cynthia was now saying she liked Mammon.
If Cynthia went to confess to Mammon, wouldn't Cynthia get ahead of her??
If this really happened, Caitlin felt that she couldn't accept it. Others might be fine, but she was Cynthia!
"Caitlin, you...
"Shut up!! Cynthia, we are battling now!!
Before Cynthia could finish speaking, the furious Caitlin interrupted her, dangerous Psychic blue light flickering in her eyes.
Doesn't she know? She knows!
But because there had never been a good opportunity, the Psychic young lady couldn't confess to Mammon.
But this time, Cynthia really brought out Caitlin's sense of crisis. After this battle, she must confess to Mammon.
...
Cynthia thought for a moment and decided not to provoke Caitlin. Otherwise, this proud Psychic young lady might really flip the table.
Directly using Psychic against her.
Cynthia knew very well that Caitlin was truly capable of doing such a thing... What if Caitlin really got desperate and plastered her into the wall next to them?
Let's battle first. If she can defeat Caitlin, even if she's unhappy, Cynthia will have the confidence to speak... Zone 2.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two juniors, I'm your senior after all, loosen the ropes a bit.
Raihan looked helplessly at the two young men in front of him.
"Hehe~ After all, Senior Raihan is very dangerous, it wasn't easy to defeat you.
Hop grinned, smiling exceptionally happily.
"Tsk~ You brat, I even spoke well of you in front of Leon back then, but you ended up helping others against me.
Raihan looked at Hop, marveling. Originally, he and Bede were having a one-on-one battle. Although Bede was a Trainer specializing in Fairy-types.
But it was a coincidence, wasn't it?
Although Raihan was known as the 'Dragon Storm', he played with weather, so he had the upper hand in the battle for a while.
However, Hop quickly arrived and helped Bede against Raihan.
And Raihan, upon realizing something was wrong, decisively raised his hands in surrender.
"Huh? Where's Big Brother?
Hop was a little worried upon hearing this. He now also knew that Leon seemed very unhappy about him joining Team Rockets.
"Ha~ Now you know to be afraid, but I don't know where Leon is either. He's probably somewhere capturing Top Executives.
Raihan replied lazily.
As for being captured, he wasn't particularly concerned. He was even thinking about whether to take the opportunity to 'abandon the light and join the darkness' and join Team Rockets.
After all, he was captured now, and Team Rockets was threatening and luring him, so he couldn't do anything about it.
As for Leon... Raihan really didn't know, as he and Leon had been separated for a while.
But Leon is so strong, he's probably already captured several Top Executives, right?
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and send him to the building, then continue to look for League personnel.
Bede urged impatiently. Although they had captured Raihan, it was because they had teamed up with Hop.
The two of them could only split the merits of this capture, which was not good news for Bede.
"Mm-hmm, I heard that many League personnel have been captured now, and I don't know if we'll have any more opportunities.
Hop nodded repeatedly.
Zone 6.
"You can do it, Xiao Youyou! Now let's try this, ru~!
Mustard had already taken off his outer coat, revealing his martial arts uniform, and laughed heartily, holding a Gigantamax Poké Ball.
"Hey, hey, hey?
Gloria's mouth twitched stiffly.
She was actually numb. She really didn't expect Mustard's strength to be so great.
After a round of fighting, she was actually at a disadvantage!
No, Master Ma, you're already this old, is it really right for you to be so strong?
"Go! Urshifu!
Mustard heavily threw the Gigantamax Poké Ball in his hand.
A black and red vortex slowly rotated in the sky, and Urshifu landed, its body rapidly expanding.
Once, twice, thrice!
After three expansions, Gigantamax Urshifu raised its arms and roared, then looked down at Dragapult and Rillaboom below, striking a battle pose.
Terrifying red light emanated from its body, and its expression, like a roaring demon, was terrifying.
This is Gigantamax Urshifu, Single Strike Style!
"The legendary Gigantamax Urshifu~!
Kukui, behind Mustard, looked at this terrifying 'giant' in awe. This was his first time seeing Gigantamax so closely.
Especially since this was the Gigantamax of the legendary Urshifu!
"Legend says that Gigantamax Single Strike Style Urshifu is called the Forces of Nature of wrath. It is said that it is 'a divine messenger who purges the world of evil with wrath'!
Kukui exclaimed repeatedly. No matter what, being able to witness this Gigantamax Single Strike Style Urshifu this time was truly worth it!
"Hahahaha It's great to be able to use Gigantamax even in the Kanto region, ru!
"Xiao Youyou, come on, let me see how you're going to deal with my Urshifu!
Mustard was very excited. It had been too many years since he had fought with such full power!
Especially Gigantamax Urshifu, he hadn't used it in battle for a very long time.
"Damn it, my Urshifu's combat power isn't enough.
Gloria looked at the Gigantamax Single Strike Style Urshifu, known as the 'Forces of Nature of wrath', in front of her, on the verge of tears.
She had indeed received the Kubfu given by Mustard and evolved it into Rapid Strike Style Urshifu.
But the problem was... she had received Urshifu for too short a time. Although its level was not low when she first got it, it could now barely be considered Champion.
But to use it against Mustard's ace Single Strike Style Urshifu was clearly not enough.
Gloria also didn't expect Mustard to be so serious! Was he really playing for keeps?
"Wow~! What a cool Gigantamax!
Suddenly, a surprised voice reached the ears of the three people present.
Kukui's expression changed slightly upon hearing the voice. He was too familiar with this voice!
"It looks like you're in trouble, Gloria. Do you want my help?
"You are... Miss Selene?
Gloria looked at the Straw Hat Girl who had arrived by her side and quickly confirmed her identity.
It's Mammon's girlfriend.
"That's right, that's right. I'll fight them two with you. How about splitting the merits?
Selene spoke with a smile, looking at the Gigantamax Single Strike Style Urshifu opposite with considerable enthusiasm.
"Okay!
Gloria naturally agreed. Master Ma's strength was indeed a bit beyond her expectations, and even fighting alone, she was not his match.
Not to mention there was Kukui watching from behind, ready to assist at any time.
"Master Ma is very strong, be careful.
Gloria reminded Selene.
"Ah~ Don't worry, don't worry, I'm super strong too.
Selene showed a big smile, waving her hand to indicate no problem.
"Nah~ Professor Kukui, and Master Ma, I'm sorry to trouble you two, I'll be gentle when I tie you up later.
Selene opened her Poké Ball, and Tapu Koko and Incineroar once again landed in front of her.
On the way, she had already used advanced Potions to restore a lot of her main Pokémon's stamina.
"Hahahaha ru~ What an arrogant junior, then let this old man try your skill!
Mustard spoke with a chuckle.
..."Senior, be careful, Selene's strength is very strong." Kukui, however, was on high alert and reminded Mustard.
"No worries, although this old man's strength is not what it used to be, dealing with some juniors is still no problem, ru~!
Mustard waved his hand very domineeringly.
Just kidding, he was Mustard, who had created an undefeated record in the League that no one had broken to this day!
Even if he was old now and his strength was not at its peak from back then, he was definitely not someone a rookie who had just debuted could defeat!
"Let's try to take them both down quickly, Gloria. After this, I still have to find other League Champions.
Selene said to Gloria.
"Ugh..." Gloria tilted her head slightly, her expression very difficult to describe.
"I won't lose to Platinum, I am the points king of this campaign!
Selene was full of energy. She didn't think she would lose to a mere Platinum.
