Because she had been so far away earlier, Cynthia had not immediately noticed what was happening in the building.
Only when she drew a little closer and heard the explosions constantly coming from inside did she conclude that someone must have launched an attack on the place.
Yet however she looked at it, the structure was just an ordinary office building. She really could not understand why anyone would want to attack it!
Still, as the Sinnoh Champion, she had to intervene when she encountered something like this.
Just then, she suddenly sensed something and raised her head.
As she looked up, she caught sight of something leaping out of the damaged building around the seventh or eighth floor and gliding through the air!
Startled, she took a closer look and discovered that it was actually a strange figure dressed as a Gengar, holding a woman!
Huh!?
Abducting someone in broad daylight!?
Cynthia immediately frowned.
I have to save her!
Just as the thought occurred to her, she saw the strange figure change direction, circle in a wide arc in front of the building, and then fly straight toward her!
Perfect!
Cynthia took out a Poké Ball, intending to send out her Pokémon to stop the strange figure. But Xia You moved faster than she did. As he approached, before Cynthia could even speak, he tore off his black raincoat, haphazardly wrapped Jupiter in it, and tossed her straight at Cynthia's feet.
Thud...
With the raincoat covering her head, Jupiter had no idea what had happened. The tremendous force knocked her unconscious on the spot.
It all happened so quickly that even Cynthia was left baffled.
Although she was astonished, the strange figure was already close by. Almost instinctively, she opened her Poké Ball and sent out her Pokémon-a Milotic!
