Chapter 857: Strength
Annie shouted to her sister, who was frozen in place, and her Vileplume.
Oakley quickly snapped out of it and had her Vileplume join the fight.
Petal Dance and Blizzard vs. Double Flamethrowers
Both Grass-type Vileplume and Ice-type Jynx were overwhelmed by the Fire-type Charizard and Chandelure.
In the midst of the intense explosion, Annie shielded her Espeon and waited for the dust to settle. Afterward, both Vileplume and Jynx lay on the ground, charred and defeated.
Watching Annie and Oakley emerge unscathed from the explosion, Malva sarcastically remarked, "You\'ve got some moves, but you\'re just too foolish!"
Meanwhile, Oakley\'s Ariados was also taken down by Yuga\'s Gengar and was unceremoniously tossed in front of Oakley.
Annie and Oakley were about to retort angrily when an explosion occurred behind them. The wall ruptured, and a Rhyperior crashed through, stumbling out from the other side.
Following Rhyperior was a massive Garchomp.
Garchomp\'s body emitted a golden glow, and its fierce Dragon-type energy surged as its sharp front limbs struck Rhyperior relentlessly.
Rhyperior had no choice but to defend itself passively, with no chance for a counterattack.
After Garchomp and Rhyperior emerged, a disheveled middle-aged man in black attire leaped out from the broken wall.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Annie angrily shouted, "Mohn, you bastard! Didn\'t you say our side would have an easy time? Why did we run into two tough nuts?"
Mohn turned his head and saw the charred Annie and Oakley on the side. His expression was hard to describe: How could I have known? Didn\'t you see I\'m in a tough spot too?
He had only intended to rob someone who didn\'t have any skilled bodyguards. Why did he have to encounter that overly powerful woman?
Under Yuga and Malva\'s watchful eyes, a golden-haired girl slowly walked out from where Mohn had appeared.
Cynthia? Yuga was momentarily stunned.
No wonder that Rhyperior was beaten up so badly.
Originally, Cynthia hadn\'t been attacked because she hadn\'t purchased any Pokémon at the auction this time. The Absol, Growlithe, and Larvitar she had bid on all ended up going to others.
However, she had crossed paths with Mohn, who was trying to steal from the customer who had bought the Shellos.
As a girl with a strong sense of justice, Cynthia couldn\'t just stand by and watch. So Mohn and his Rhyperior had a tough time.
Mohn and his Rhyperior were relentlessly pursued by Cynthia and Garchomp.
When Cynthia emerged from the other side of the wall, she immediately spotted Yuga. Her eyes lit up, and she nodded friendly towards him.
She\'s greeting me again! Could it be that my luck is turning around? Yuga couldn\'t help but touch his handsome face.
Mohn, who was in a tight spot with no way to divide his attention, was busy directing Rhyperior to deal with Cynthia\'s Garchomp.
Annie and Oakley, ignored by Mohn, were on the verge of getting furious.
Mohn was the leader of this operation, and their original target was just the high potential Larvitar. But Mohn got too greedy and thought his plan was foolproof, so he wanted to capture all the high potential Pokémon here.
Now, they were in a mess. The two sisters couldn\'t defeat Yuga and Malva, and Mohn couldn\'t defeat the golden-haired girl (Cynthia) either.
Gengar and Chandelure flew towards Annie and Oakley, attempting to capture them.
The only remaining Pokémon with fighting capability, Espeon, jumped out of Annie\'s arms, emitting a low growl, threatening Gengar and Chandelure not to come any closer.
Chandelure used an Dark Pulse to throw Espeon aside, and Espeon fell to the ground, twitching and unable to get up.
"Espeon!"
Annie exclaimed, her eyes filled with anger as she rushed towards Chandelure, but Chandelure used its psychic power to slam her against the wall.
"Ugh..."
Annie, who had suffered a violent impact, coughed up blood.
"Sister!"
Oakley held the injured Annie, feeling indignant but not daring to make another move because Gengar and Chandelure were watching them closely.
On the other side, the battle between Cynthia and Mohn continued.
Although Rhyperior couldn\'t beat Garchomp, it had one advantage - high defense and thick skin, which made it difficult for Garchomp to defeat it immediately.
As Mohn watched his Rhyperior getting increasingly battered by Garchomp, he pulled out a Poké Ball and released a Golem.
Seeing Mohn now facing a 2-on-1 situation, Yuga shouted to Cynthia, "Do you need help?"
Cynthia looked at Yuga and smiled, shaking her head.
"Thanks, I\'ve got this."
Saying that, Cynthia took out a Poké Ball and released an Glaceon.
The moment the Glaceon appeared, the corridor, which had been heated due to Charizard and Chandelure\'s Flamethrowers, immediately cooled down.
Compared to this Glaceon, Annie\'s Ice-type Jynx looked like a firefly under the moonlight.
Mohn\'s Rhyperior and Golem simultaneously used Stone Edge, launching sharp stone blades towards Garchomp and the Glaceon.
The Glaceon didn\'t try to withstand Rhyperior and Golem\' Stone Edges directly. Instead, it cleverly hid behind Garchomp.
Garchomp swiftly moved its two front limbs, leaving a series of afterimages in the air, effortlessly deflecting every stone blade, ensuring none could get close to it or the Glaceon.

...
Compared to the first time Yuga saw it, this Garchomp had become even stronger, almost on par with Steven\'s Metagross. Both of their Ace Pokémon are approaching the Champion level.
As long as Metagross and Garchomp can break through to the Champion level, Cynthia and Steven would have the qualifications to compete for the League Championship.
It\'s just a matter of when these two will become League Champions.
You see, Steven\'s Metagross has already gained preliminary Champion level strength after Mega Evolution.
In other words, this Garchomp, which is not much weaker than Steven\'s Metagross, can reach Champion level strength as long as it can Mega Evolve.
Keep in mind that Cynthia is even younger than Steven! She truly deserves her reputation as a genius trainer in the world of Pokémon.

...
Garchomp is indeed strong, and this Glaceon is no slouch either. Despite its petite size, it contains immense energy, emitting a chilling aura all around it.
After Garchomp intercepted the Stone Edges from Rhyperior and Golem, the Glaceon jumped forward and exhaled a flurry of icy winds, and Rhyperior and Golem were frozen.
Although the Icy Wind had excellent control effects, its power wasn\'t particularly high.
Garchomp quickly dashed to the frozen Rhyperior and Golem and delivered a Brick Break to their heads. As the ice shattered, Rhyperior and Golem fell to the ground.
To prevent any surprises, after they fell, Garchomp gave each of them another Brick Break.
Seeing Rhyperior and Golem lying unconscious on the ground, Mohn plopped down on the floor.
Oh no! Oh no!
Why am I so unlucky!
