Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

"Sigh... Actually, ever since my father passed away, I haven't known how to get along with my younger sister."

Xiao You's face showed a hint of helplessness, and she sighed softly.

After catching up briefly with Cynthia, she winked and said, "Oh, it's a team-building event between the Sinnoh Gym Leaders."

"Um... Champion Cynthia, hello." Cai Zhong nervously extended her right hand, her movements somewhat stiff, and her voice trembled slightly.

Xiao Song and A Li, standing behind her, were equally uneasy, but their eyes were filled with more reverence.

After all, in Sinnoh, almost no girl doesn't idolize Cynthia.

A champion with both strength and elegance is not something every region can produce.

Cynthia smiled as she looked at the slightly trembling hand in front of her, gently took it, and said softly, "Don't be so reserved. The future of Sinnoh is in the hands of you young people."

The way you're saying this makes it sound like you're about to retire, but you're actually not even twenty-five yet, are you?

Lu Yuan silently muttered to himself.

"Swoosh~"

Upon hearing Cynthia's voice, Haunter popped out of its Poké Ball and greeted her.

Cynthia was slightly taken aback.

Looking at the Gastly in front of him, he laughed and said, "You've evolved! You look really cool."

"Scrape hiss (/

/o/ω/o/

/)”

Haunter's face flushed instantly upon being praised by Cynthia. It opened its mouth, and a burst of white steam shot out, circling around Lu Yuan like an old-fashioned steam train.

Cynthia... well, it's not impossible...

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan grabbed Gastly by the ear and shoved it back into the Poké Ball.

You shameless brat, if you keep moving around, I'll send you to fight Garchomp.

I wonder if Cynthia heard Gastly's last words?

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Cynthia with some unease.

At this moment, Cynthia still wore that warm smile, as gentle as the spring sun, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

However, when Lu Yuan's gaze fell on the Garchomp behind her, his heart tightened involuntarily.

Garchomp was staring at him fiercely, its sharp eyes flashing with a cold light.

Suddenly, Garchomp raised its sharp claws and lightly slashed its own neck.

For a moment, Lu Yuan even had the illusion that his neck had been slashed by a fierce shark.

Cynthia seemed to sense Lu Yuan's concerns, patted his shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll use the Pokémon I just caught during the battle, which is fairer to everyone."

A newly captured Pokémon?

That means they won't be sending their main force!

What's there to be afraid of!

Without the advantage of superior level, Lu Yuan has never been afraid of anyone when they are of the same level!

However, just to be on the safe side, Lu Yuan still discussed tactics with Xiao You before the match started.

He released his sprite, Whimsicott, but unlike other Whimsicotts, this one was heterochromatic, with blue ears that made it look much more sophisticated than other Whimsicotts.

"Beep~ Whimsicott, Grass-type, Fairy-type, Hidden Wind Pokémon."

Ability: Heart of Mischief

Special Moves: Wind Rush, Drain, Fairy Wind, Giga Drain, Leech Seed, Growth, Razor Leaf, Solar Beam, Poison Powder, Paralysis Powder, Cotton Spore Powder, Giga Drain, Sunny Day, Parting Gift, Helping Hand, Brute Force, Tailwind, Energy Ball, Cotton Guard, Hurricane, Moon Power, Protect, Substitute, Encore

Genetics: Switch

Description: It can pass through even the smallest gaps like the wind, leaving only white fuzz balls.

As expected of the disgusting cotton, Lu Yuan could only make out two words from the densely packed skill pool.

Invincible!

But considering that the opponent is also a disgusting cotton, plus Cynthia... it probably won't be so easy to deal with.

Hmm, a parting gift, switched...

Hey, looking at these two skills in the skill book, Lu Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

......

A battleground on the ranch.

Both sides are ready.

Xiao You sent out the Wind Fairy, and his sister sent out the Shuttlecock.

It's worth mentioning that this shuttlecock is also a different color, all pink, just like Chansey, it's very cute.

As for Cynthia...

Come on, Arias!

Sorry, I misheard.

"Go, Armored Dragon!"

Kommo-o? Oh, Lu Yuan seems to remember now, during the Journey arc, Cynthia had a Kommo-o.

The Kommothosaurus is a degenerate form of the Kommothosaurus.

A rare dragon fight.

Next up was Lu Yuan, who sent out Fire Spotted Cat this time. The little guy's intimidation was triggered as soon as it landed.

[Scaled Dragon, Shuttlecock Cotton, Physical Attack Reduced by 1]

After the intimidation was triggered, Litten instantly appeared and slapped Kommo-o'-the-head.

High five surprise!

A habit formed from numerous battles: slap your opponent as soon as you land.

As the Litten approached the Kommo-o, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Cynthia's lips. Then, calmly and decisively, she issued the command:

"Fight back quickly!"

Quick Strike Counterattack, a fighting technique, involves striking with the heel of the palm after noticing the opponent's movement, causing the opponent to flinch. If the opponent's move is not a preemptive strike, the attack fails.

It is a skill specifically designed to counter preemptive moves such as high-fives, lightning strikes, and lightning speed.

Just as Litten saw its slap about to land on the Armored Dragon's forehead, the dragon interrupted it with an uppercut.

"Meow!"

With a scream, Litten flew backward.

"Fair wind."

"Fair wind."

Almost simultaneously, the brother and sister gave the order in unison.

A whirlwind swept across the battlefield on both sides simultaneously.

Seeing that he had been read first by Cynthia, Lu Yuan didn't hesitate for long and immediately gave the order:

"Hot air!"

At the same time, Xiaoyou also gave the order: "Wind Fairy, Sunny Day!"

Clearly, in this doubles battle, Whimsicott's role is support, with the aim of creating opportunities for Litten to deal damage.

Presumably the shuttlecock on the other side is the same.

At this moment, the Litten that had been knocked away let out a loud cry, and a wave of heat instantly surged around it.

That quick counterattack just now knocked out two of its front teeth. Even though it's the age when it's losing its baby teeth, it would be so embarrassing for a future gang leader to have two front teeth knocked out in a fight when he was a kid!

As Litten's emotions completely erupted, the heat wave became even more intense, burning fiercely. Coupled with the Sunny Day that Whimsicott had created for it, the power of the fire-type moves was further enhanced, making the hot wind extremely threatening.

Hot Wind is an area-of-effect (AoE) skill that can hit both Kommo-o and Jumpluff simultaneously.

"Meow!"

Let's get rid of your troublesome support first, then we can have a proper "one-on-one" fight!

Chapter 81 Hot Cat Arrives!

A heat wave rolled in.

If the shuttlecock gets hit, it's game over.

Then, what awaited the Scaled Dragon was a gang attack from the two Pokémon, Whimsicott and Litten.
