Garchomp flashed above Giant Onix's head, her fins glowing white. One blow struck the head, the other the base of the neck.
Giant Onix screamed, his face instantly twisting into a ferocious grimace.
But he truly deserved to be the powerful recruit Bruno had made a special trip for. Even after taking two supereffective Brick Breaks from Garchomp, he remained standing, full of vigor.
Wherever his massive tail swept, mountains crumbled, the ground split, trees were destroyed, and dust flew.
"Not bad. Tough and strong. I like this present!"
Cynthia stood on the high ledge with one hand on her hip, licking her lips. Her gaze was elegant yet terrifying.
It was the first time Su Bai had seen Cynthia like this.
The Valkyrie of Sinnoh was dangerous when immersed in battle, but she was also regal and captivating.
Giant Onix grew furious, sweeping his tail sideways straight at Garchomp.
"Garchomp, use Dragon Dance."
At Cynthia's command, Garchomp twisted her body in a strange yet graceful motion, dodging the attack.
At the same time, Garchomp's speed and Attack increased.
Using Dragon Dance's distinctive movements to evade an opponent's linear attacks was a sophisticated battle technique, and a signature trick of most trainers who specialized in Dragon-type Pokémon.
With Cynthia's skill, mastering such techniques was no challenge.
"Garchomp, Giga Impact!"
Garchomp dodged another sweep of Giant Onix's tail and shot into the air. Wreathed in purple-gold energy, she slammed down with a vicious, crushing Giga Impact.
Thud!
Giga Impact collided with Giant Onix's body. His head jerked high into the air before he collapsed heavily to the ground.
Yet his enormous tail was still writhing across the ground.
He still hadn't passed out?
Bruno really had an eye for talent, but this Giant Onix belonged to Cynthia now.
