By Central Lake in Meteor Village.
Garchomp stood still, its fins crossed before its chest as it faced several Pokémon eyeing it hungrily.
Not far beside it, Heiduo yawned boredly.
"How much longer are you going to keep holding back?"
As soon as he spoke,
it was like a starter's gun had gone off. Several Pokémon unleashed their moves at Garchomp all at once.
In an instant, bolts of electricity, flames, torrents of water, and dark light appeared, all crashing down onto the proudly standing Garchomp!
Boom!!!
The ground shook!
Terrifying explosive flames, wrapped in shockwaves and smoke, spread outward in an instant!
The attacking Pokémon and their Trainers were immediately engulfed. The fierce wind made their bodies sway unsteadily, forcing them to lower themselves and hold their arms before their chests.

Revealing its seemingly unscathed figure.
Its fins were still crossed before its chest, utterly unchanged. There were no scrape marks beneath its feet either, proving that it had not moved even an inch.
Those flashy, seemingly powerful moves from before had been completely useless!

Garchomp bared its teeth, forming a rather savage grin.
That grin carried no small amount of mockery.

The others exchanged looks, their expressions bitter.
In front of them,
the Pokémon that had just given it their all hunched their necks
