"Just a feint..."
Su Hao raised an eyebrow. Surely Cynthia hadn't forgotten that he was an Aura User.
A visual feint like that could never work.
"Three o'clock! It's coming!"
Su Hao immediately shouted.
A deep-blue figure instantly burst through the sandstorm. Its broad shark-like fins were wrapped in white light, transforming into terrifying energy blades that slashed toward Diancie!
The normal-type move, Slash!
"Cut through it!" Cynthia shouted.
She naturally knew that with Su Hao's Aura, tricks meant to obstruct his vision would be useless.
The so-called Dragon Pulse had merely been a feint, meant only to give Garchomp even a tenth of a second's advantage.
Since she couldn't rotate through tactical plays, she would make up for it elsewhere, then carry it through with absolute strength!

Those who had reacted in time all felt their hearts tighten at the sight.
Was the League Champion's battle-hardened Pokémon truly still superior...
The next moment—
The answer was revealed.
The instant Garchomp's Slash came down, Diancie, which had seemed unable to react, lightly raised a hand. Space immediately twisted—
Boom!!!
A thunderous blast echoed through the arena, and terrifying cracks spread dozens of meters across the ground before stopping.
Countless viewers before their screens stared wide-eyed at the scene.
Was this the strength of a champion's ace at the very peak?
But—
Diancie had not fallen. Instead, it appeared behind Garchomp, lifted the hem of its dress, and gracefully bowed to it.
As if saying—
You let me win.
Garchomp straightened up and coldly stared at Diancie.
The moment it had slashed down, it had sensed that something was wrong. It
