Jubilife Pokémon Theme Park.
With both the spectators at the venue and the livestream audience watching,
the battle between Garchomp and Mewtwo continued.
Both sides had used Mega Evolution right from the start,
and had also fought for control of the weather with Sandstorm and Sunny Day.
"Dragon Rush!"
Facing Cynthia's combination of Draco Meteor and Dragon Rush, Red lowered the brim of his cap.
"Psystrike!"
Purple-black psychic power collided violently with Dragon-type energy,
until Psystrike pierced through the Dragon-type energy and struck Garchomp head-on!
The dust cleared. Though covered in wounds, Garchomp still soared stubbornly through the sky.
Yuka exclaimed excitedly, "Garchomp held on!"
But Cynthia knew Garchomp's stamina was already a candle flickering in the wind.
"Garchomp, Outrage!"
"One more time, Psystrike!"
Outrage and Psystrike collided three times in succession,
with the final clash in particular causing a violent explosion in midair.
Amid the violent explosion, Garchomp fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut.
After the dust settled,
a burst of white light appeared. Garchomp reverted from its Mega Evolution and fainted.
Mega Mewtwo Y hovered in the air, also bearing quite a few injuries. Panting heavily, it reverted from its Mega Evolution.
"Garchomp is unable to battle! The winner is-Red!"
"Red!"
"Red!"
The audience chanted Red's name.
Since they were in the Sinnoh Region, on Cynthia's home turf, the cheers for her were also enthusiastic.
Recalling the unconscious Garchomp, Cynthia said softly, "Congratulations."
This loss was no great setback for Cynthia. It had also shown her the gap between herself and Red.
Whether Red had used Mewtwo or not made little difference.
After all, Red had caught Mewtwo himself.
That alone was proof of his strength.
Besides, Red also had a roster of heavy hitters, including Pikachu, Charizard, Venusaur, and Snorlax.
Red nodded
