Chapter 369: Garchomp Used Dragon Dance!

Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Garchomp Used Dragon Dance!

Cynthia felt somewhat exhausted.

After a long silence, she picked up her phone.

[KingGarchomp:You’re amazing]

[KingGarchomp:I’m tired. Sleeping]

She threw her phone aside, buried her head under a pillow, and bounced around on the bed.

"Ahhh! Damn Julian!"

Seeing his friends reply, Julian blinked.

Why did it feel like his mood became strange after learning that Cassia was Cynthia?

Julian’s eyes widened.

Could it be that he liked Cynthia too?

In that case, he could only apologise.

Although KingGarchomp was his best friend, Cynthia was not someone he could give up.

As for heartbreak, he could only move on himself.

Julian picked up his phone and sent one last message.

[Kommo-o_Who_Loves_Singing_And_Dancing:Rest well]

As for whether he should confess to Cynthia after she won the Champion title, he would have to ask someone else.

Caitlin?

Julian shook his head.

If he asked Caitlin in the morning, Maylene would know by the afternoon.

Unfortunately, Darach was not here. Otherwise, he could ask the butler for his opinion.

With these thoughts in mind, Julian fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Julian saw that Cynthia had not come down for a long time.

"Caitlin, why don’t you go up and see what Cynthia is doing?"

"Her match against Elite Four Hardy is the first one today."

Caitlin stuffed the last bit of croissant into her mouth.

"I’ll go take a look."

Last night, Caitlin seemed to have heard Cynthia shouting in her room.

She had thought she was simply too excited to sleep because she was about to become Champion.

Caitlin went to wake Cynthia, while Julian prepared breakfast for her.

Before long, she came down to eat with a cold expression.

Julian placed the prepared breakfast in front of her.

"Cynthia, this drink is my special blend. It’ll make you full of energy for your battle. Hurry up and taste it."

Cynthia nodded.

"Mm."

Then she picked up the toast and gently took a bite.

Julian raised an eyebrow.

Something about her felt strange today.

Julian looked at Caitlin, wanting to know what was going on.

Caitlin spread her hands.

When she had gone upstairs and knocked on her door, she had already been like this.

Cynthia ate the toast, ham, lettuce, tomato, then bread separately. Only then did she pick up Julian’s special blend and take a sip.

The waterline in the cup could barely be seen changing.

Julian frowned and asked, "Does it not taste good? Should I make another cup?"

Cynthia said coldly, "No need."

She was very angry right now.

Julian had actually dared to play her.

She decided that for the next few days, she would ignore him first.

Otherwise, if she spoke to him, she would only become even angrier!

Caitlin was also confused.

What exactly was wrong with Cynthia today?

She had separated a perfectly good sandwich and eaten it piece by piece.

Even Julian’s special love-filled drink was being ignored.

Could a mere Elite Four Hardy really put this much pressure on Cynthia?

Caitlin leaned close to Cynthia’s ear and whispered, "What’s wrong with you today?"

Cynthia said calmly, "I’m fine. Eat."

After breakfast, she went to the contestants’ lounge to wait for the match to begin.

Caitlin glared at Julian and questioned him fiercely.

"Speak! Did you make Cynthia angry last night?"

How was that possible?

Julian shook his head.

"Last night, Cynthia and I hadn’t walked for long when she said she was a little tired and wanted to sleep."

"We rode Miraidon back. She was still normal then."

Caitlin looked at him suspiciously.

"My intuition tells me you’re definitely the one who made Cynthia angry!"

Julian was puzzled.

"Then can your intuition tell me how I made her angry?"

Caitlin raised both hands and pointed two fingers at her temples.

After a while, she shook her head.

"No. My Psychic training still isn’t good enough. I can’t tell."

"But my intuition isn’t wrong. Cynthia being angry is definitely related to you!"

Darius patted Julian.

"Julian, think carefully about why Cynthia is angry, and how you should apologise."

But Caitlin said, "Forget it. If you go apologise now, you’ll only make her angrier. Just stay still."

Julian scratched his hair.

"Alright."

The second round of the Elite Four ranking battles began amid the cheers everyone had been waiting for.

The commentator shouted excitedly, "We can see that Elite Four Cynthia is fighting very aggressively today, constantly commanding Lucario to launch quick attacks!"

Julian frowned slightly.

"Against Ghost-type Elite Four Hardy, opening with Lucario... isn’t that a bit unsuitable?"

Caitlin nodded.

"I can also tell that her battle style today is different from usual."

Darius folded his arms.

"Don’t worry. Although Cynthia’s mood is bad, so her battle style has changed somewhat, she is actually very calm."

"On the contrary, Elite Four Hardy is the one who isn’t used to Cynthia’s tactical change."

Sure enough, before long, Elite Four Hardy switched Pokémon.

Cynthia, however, kept Lucario pinned on the field.

Lucario fought three of Elite Four Hardy’s Pokémon in a row before finally collapsing from exhaustion.

Julian frowned.

"It feels like Lucario has completely become a sacrifice for Cynthia’s tactics today. She hasn’t fully brought out the advantages of Aura."

Caitlin shrugged.

"Cynthia isn’t an Aura user like you. She was never going to completely bring out Aura’s advantages."

"Using one Lucario to probe three of Hardy’s Pokémon and still inflict significant injuries on each of them is already very worthwhile."

Caitlin did not know that Lucario was actually Cynthia’s second strongest Pokémon.

Even against Darius’s Machamp, he could fight evenly.

Sure enough, Cynthia’s remaining four Pokémon successfully forced out Hardy’s remaining three Pokémon as well, but they were also all wiped out.

The commentator shouted excitedly, "Elite Four Cynthia’s condition seems a little off today. She has already lost five Pokémon, leaving only her final one!"

"But that final Pokémon is also Elite Four Cynthia’s strongest Garchomp! Meanwhile, Elite Four Hardy still has three Pokémon remaining, including his ace, Gengar!"

"Who will emerge victorious in today’s match? Let us wait and see!"

Caitlin became somewhat anxious.

"Cynthia won’t lose, will she?"

But Julian smiled.

"Cynthia has already won."

Caitlin blinked.

"???"

Cynthia’s expression was calm as she sent out Garchomp against Drifblim.

Drifblim fired a Shadow Ball, and Garchomp flew into the sky to dodge.

Drifblim then fired Air Slash, and Garchomp danced through the air to avoid it.

The commentator, who had been passionately explaining the match, suddenly froze.

"What am I seeing? What am I seeing? Garchomp used Dragon Dance!"

The entire audience erupted into earth-shaking cheers.

The commentator continued with even more force.

"That’s right! It really is Dragon Dance!"

Elite Four Hardy looked at Cynthia in surprise.

He had thought Cynthia had only trained Garchomp to master an unknown Ground-type finishing move.

But she also had Dragon Dance?

How was he supposed to fight this?

Elite Four Hardy’s plan to surround and suppress Garchomp was shattered in that instant.
