As the torrent of blazing radiance erupted from Victini's body, everyone witnessing this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes in unison.
The chat in the livestream also began scrolling frantically with comments.
[Did Victini just suddenly power up?? What incredible strength and aura!!!]
[I knew this little guy had to be hiding some amazing ability inside! Come on, Victini!]
[But even so, can that golden giant really be defeated? I feel like this level of power isn't nearly enough]
[Yeah, that thing is just too strong...]
Some viewers in the livestream were naturally speaking the truth. While they could sense the powerful aura bursting from Victini's body at this moment, compared to the massive electrical giant not far away, the gap was still far too vast.
At this moment, accompanied by Victini's cry, that crimson dazzling radiance condensed and burst forth from his small body, transforming into a blazing beam of light that shot toward the electrical giant!
But the next moment, a scene that no one could have anticipated occurred.
That beam, just as it was about to hit the electrical giant, suddenly veered in mid-air, shooting off in a completely different direction!
And its final target wasn't the massive core machine, nor the electrical giant, but rather the golden Pokémon that had lost its fighting ability and was lying unconscious on the ground.
This sudden turn of events left everyone momentarily stunned.
What exactly was Victini doing?
Why was he attacking that Pokémon?
Had he lost control of his power and missed his target?
Just as everyone was puzzling over this in their hearts, a flash of surprise suddenly crossed Cynthia's eyes.
Ever since Victini had burst forth with that special power just now, she'd been feeling something was off. This feeling wasn't born from unease, but rather from a strange sensation—because she sensed that the power Victini was releasing was completely different from the usual overwhelming force she felt from him.
And at this moment, watching that streak of light fly toward the Pokémon on the ground, she finally understood why she'd had this feeling.
Because that didn't seem like a destructive attack filled with intense destructive desire, but rather a supportive force brimming with warmth!
Only when Pokémon used support-type moves, releasing power to assist their companions in battle, would it carry this kind of feeling. As a Champion, she'd experienced countless double battles and had personally witnessed this many times in those countless encounters.
However, such powerful and stunning supportive force was something she was seeing for the first time!
So... was he trying to help that Pokémon recover its strength?
But... even high-grade healing items hadn't been able to have much effect on that Pokémon.
With the level gap between Victini and that Pokémon, could he really accomplish this?
Just as Cynthia's heart was filled with anxiety and uncertainty—
In this moment of absolute silence, with only the countdown to destruction beating like a heartbeat—
That crimson stream of light had already made contact with the body of the Pokémon on the ground.
A warm and mighty torrent of pink energy, like a comet streaking across the night sky, descended from above, ignoring all barriers and precisely infusing into that charred and broken form in the corner!
BOOM!!!
Infinite waves of power suddenly erupted and swept through this space.
The golden Pokémon enveloped by that radiance seemed to instantly undergo a sacred baptism.
Its blackened, curled fur began rapidly healing and regenerating in the red glow, as if time was flowing in reverse. Every single golden-blue hair regained vitality beyond what it had before, flowing with the dazzling luster of liquid lightning.
Those massive, bloody wounds instantly closed up, and its muscle definition swelled under the energy infusion, filled with explosive power.
All the damage it had suffered in the recent battle was miraculously restored in this moment.
But this seemed to be just the beginning!
The deep crimson radiance filled with infinite power continued pouring into its body, seemingly not content with mere healing. Like a blazing catalyst, it continuously awakened the surging thunder power within that Pokémon!
As power kept flowing in, golden-blue electrical light and warm firelight intertwined, coiled, and resonated in the air, forming around that Pokémon a sacred yet violent energy cloak woven from gold and red!
This mass of energy was like a burning star, constantly radiating outward with shocking energy fluctuations, repelling all the surrounding dust and chaotic electrical currents, as if forming an absolute, untouchable energy domain!
At the same time, that Pokémon's HP bar, which had been completely depleted at the top of its head, was instantly filled to maximum. Not only that, but above the health bar, a brand new HP bar woven from red and gold light condensed!
BZZZZ!!!
A terrifying aura that surpassed its past limits, as if capable of tearing through the heavens, surged from its body like a substantial tsunami, instantly sweeping across the entire core area!
This aura even briefly suppressed the electrical giant's destructive energy field, causing the frantically flashing warning lights to stutter for a moment!
"ROAAARRR!!!!!!"
A roar that shook the entire digital world, like the first thunder at the creation of the universe, thundered forth!
This roar no longer contained any trace of weakness or pain—only pure power and towering fury!
The golden Pokémon's newly opened eyes had transformed into two blazing suns.
Deep within its pupils, golden lightning and crimson flames of victory intertwined and spun, cold, sharp, piercing through everything, carrying infinite majesty as they locked onto the completely defenseless back of the electrical giant, where its core hub flickered.
Unlike the metal rings it had attacked before, this was the only relatively vulnerable energy node on its massive body—and the source from which it drew power!!
The abnormal revival of the golden Pokémon naturally caught the attention of the electrical giant.
Its massive body jerked in surprise, and the frantically spinning core rings suddenly slowed down.
Under the immense power radiating from behind, its originally cold and emotionless perception system finally detected that violent and furious energy source behind it that posed a real threat to its existence!
An instinctive sense of threat and oppression instantly spread throughout the electrical giant's entire body!
It withdrew countless electrical arms, turning around as the light from its core swept over the golden Pokémon's form, instinctively taking a defensive stance.
But the next moment, it suddenly realized something was wrong—how could a powerful being like itself, a possessor of god-like power, feel fear in the presence of such a small Pokémon?!
Beyond its surprise, only infinite rage remained in its heart!
It absolutely could not accept such a thing!
From the electrical giant's core came a booming roar filled with infinite fury. It spread its golden arms wide, and infinite lightning instantly condensed from thin air in the dark ceiling above, suddenly crashing down!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
This time, the lightning it unleashed wasn't the casual attacks from before—its power had increased by who knows how many times!
Each bolt was thick enough to have a diameter of over six feet, and when they struck the ground, they directly blasted away and destroyed the surface of the hard metal flooring, causing violent explosions and impacts!!
However, facing this overwhelming lightning storm, the golden Pokémon's figure moved.
It vanished from its original position, leaving only a golden-red afterimage.
Space seemed to be completely crushed by the power it instantly unleashed, and a visible ring of sonic boom clouds mixed with electricity and flames exploded outward!
The shockwave was like a tangible giant hammer, instantly blowing away, igniting, and reducing to ash the surrounding virtual metal debris and severed cables!
Where the golden Pokémon had passed, only an energy vacuum depression caused by extreme speed remained briefly, along with countless scattered energy particles like stellar fragments!
It didn't dodge the falling lightning—instead, it charged straight at the massive electrical giant!
Those countless falling thunderbolts simply vanished into thin air the moment they made contact with the powerful forces radiating from its path!
Watching this scene, all the viewers in the livestream held their breath.
This situation had undoubtedly completely reversed from the previous scenes—the electrical giant's full-power attacks couldn't even scratch it!
Didn't this mean it was now even stronger than the electrical giant?
Meanwhile, the giant's core watched that lightning-like figure weaving through the thunder, and it too seemed to realize something was wrong.
That intense feeling of oppression rose in its heart again, making its core tremble violently!
It couldn't remember the last time it had felt this way since gaining consciousness.
However, the electrical giant didn't have time to react further.
That golden figure, which had been dozens of meters away just moments ago, suddenly disappeared.
It had transcended the limitations of time and space, appearing in the blink of an eye above the massive electrical giant!
This speed completely exceeded the limits of visual tracking—the game engine could only render a golden-red energy trail connecting the starting and ending points across the battlefield!
Not only that, but the violent electrical currents all around fell silent in this moment, all transforming into pure golden radiance that was drawn and absorbed into its body!
"ROAAAAR!!!!"
With an earth-shaking beast's roar.
Its body completed an incredible extreme rotation in mid-air, compressing and concentrating all its strength, lightning's fury, and the will to victory into its right fist!
Its right fist no longer seemed to be made of flesh and blood, but had transformed into a singularity that devoured all light!
Blindingly bright golden-red ions, like billions of roaring thunder dragons forcibly bound and compressed, accompanied by terrifying sonic booms, surged and howled at its fist...
Sensing that blazing and magnificent energy, the electrical giant's core hub flashed frantically with the highest level of danger warnings. The instinctive fear from deep within its soul had nearly crushed it completely!
In this moment, it finally completed its difficult turning motion, hastily raising its massive golden arms, trying to condense the strongest electromagnetic barrier. Its remaining arms even plugged into its core, attempting to forcibly draw the last energy from behind for defense!
Its core emitted a sharp, voice-breaking hum, and its massive body showed energy fluctuations that could only be described as "panic" for the first time!
However, the golden figure didn't give the giant this opportunity.
That punch, like the first ray of light from the universe's creation, ignored the electrical giant's hastily condensed weak electromagnetic barrier and struck with pinpoint accuracy and tremendous force right into the center of the giant's precisely operating golden core hub on its back!
In this moment, heaven and earth fell silent.
Pale and quiet radiance filled the entire world.
Accompanied by that dazzling light, the entire game screen was instantly consumed by a field of absolute pure white.
This light lasted for several seconds, as if time within the game had been frozen.
Then—
From within the brilliant white light, a blue light suddenly began expanding and manifesting.
That was unmistakably the electrical giant—the energy core that had been directly struck by the golden figure's punch!
Countless thick golden lightning bolts, violent deep blue ionic currents, and sacred red flames gushed frantically from that point!
They were no longer chaotically surging, but under the golden Pokémon's power, they precisely flooded into every inch of the electrical giant's massive structure, carrying out complete destruction and annihilation from within!
The blue metal rings that formed the giant's body, supposedly indestructible, began melting and cracking under the fusion energy's assault like ice thrown into lava, starting from the struck core hub!
First came fine cracks, then they rapidly expanded into unbridgeable chasms, until finally the entire structure collapsed like quicksand!
Massive fragments of energy rings glowing with blinding golden light, mixed with vaporized blue ions and scattered pink light particles, were swept up by the destructive ring-shaped shockwave from the explosion, forming a spectacular golden storm that filled the screen and left viewers breathless!
Where the storm passed, the power plant's metal walls instantly melted into molten iron, and even the equipment beside the massive central generator was torn apart and hurled into the air by the tremendous force!
In this moment, from the electrical giant's core, just as its structure completely disintegrated, came a sharp, distorted electronic shriek filled with terror and agony:
"BZZZZT—CRACKKKKK!!!"
This sound pierced through the explosion's roar! Immediately after, its power source—the golden core at the center of its torso—suddenly filled with spider web-like cracks and, with a crisp shattering sound, completely exploded!
The once-invincible electrical giant, that massive golden body that had controlled lightning and devoured everything, completely fell apart in this moment!
One particularly large golden core fragment, shining with the last traces of fading light, stood out prominently in the explosion's brilliance. Like a falling star, it was hurled toward the distant screen before finally being completely devoured and annihilated by the chaotic energy currents!
["Zeraora" used "Plasma Fists!"]
[It's super effective??]
["Regieleki" fainted!!]
A battle result notification box glowing with golden light appeared before Cynthia, announcing the outcome of this battle.
However, at this moment, everything had not yet reached its conclusion.
"Hummm—!"
In this space that had been returned to silence by the massive battle, urgent and brilliant warning sounds once again rang out accompanied by red light.
Although the golden giant had stopped drawing electrical current from that core machine, the overload from just moments ago had obviously completely destroyed its circuitry. The energy core emitted an even deeper, more desperate hum.
The broken warning voice echoed once more throughout this space.
[Warning! Machine about to explode! Warning! Machine about to explode! All personnel evacuate immediately!]
The entire power plant shook and trembled under this terrifying energy, and in the blinding red light, piercing electrical flashes began continuously lighting up from the core machine. Electrical current poured wildly from the core's cracks like the tentacles of a dying beast, lashing aimlessly at the surrounding air and metal structures!
The shadow of destruction had not dissipated with the electrical giant's defeat, but had become even more imminent now that the original "guide" of the predator was gone!
The core was about to explode!
However, that golden Pokémon, upon noticing this scene, unhesitatingly vanished from its position again, appearing before that massive golden machine.
It didn't burst forth with the reality-tearing extreme speed it had shown before, but instead took steady, powerful, and incredibly determined steps, walking step by step toward that frantically roaring energy core.
With each step it took, the chaotic, scattered small electrical currents beneath its feet instantly became docile upon encountering what seemed like a king worthy of worship, spontaneously gathering and coiling around its golden-blue fur before being quietly absorbed by its body, like tiny streams flowing into the ocean.
And its target was that most robust and violent giant electrical python surging from the core's cracks!
This python seemed to possess consciousness. Sensing the golden Pokémon's approach, it suddenly whipped its "head" around, emitting an angry hiss, and with the momentum to destroy everything, opened its massive maw made of pure violent energy and viciously lunged to bite!
Watching this scene, Cynthia in front of the screen felt her heart jump into her throat, and the livestream viewers all broke out in cold sweats!
However, facing this terrifying attack that could instantly vaporize steel, the golden figure's deep black eyes showed not a trace of fear—only an absolute, all-seeing calm.
Just as the electrical python was about to devour it, the golden figure slowly raised its right claw.
There was no earth-shaking energy eruption, no dazzling skill effects.
Its claw tip simply made precise, effortless contact with a specific point on that violent electrical python—the core node where the energy was most chaotic and unstable!
Hummm—!
An indescribable, exquisitely precise electromagnetic wave, like the gentlest ripple, instantly spread outward from the golden figure's claw tip, covering the entire violent electrical current.
The moment the golden Pokémon's claw touched the current, a miraculous scene occurred:
That electrical python, originally writhing with destructive fury, stopped its violent thrashing as if it had been instantly injected with a sedative. Its blinding light also softened.
The precise electromagnetic field created by the golden Pokémon's claw tip, like a masterful tuner, accurately adjusted each violent frequency within the current, soothing it.
Even more shocking was that the golden Pokémon didn't absorb this energy into itself. Its body seemed to transform into the most perfect conductor, and the purified current it had organized didn't disappear, but as if given life and direction, flowed docilely down along its golden-blue arms.
These currents were no longer destructive pythons, but had transformed into streams of stable blue-white radiance, flowing upstream and inputting back into that broken core machine!
The next moment, a scene like a divine miracle appeared!
The violent energy chaos at the edges of the core's cracks, upon receiving those currents, began visibly healing and repairing at an incredible speed!
In just a few dozen seconds, the golden Pokémon had successfully completely reversed that entire golden electrical python back into the core!
As the machine finally stopped its high-speed humming and ceased operation completely, the red light also faded from this space, and everything finally returned to calm.
Cynthia sat stunned in front of the screen. Everything she had just witnessed had undoubtedly brought her tremendous psychological shock.
This golden Pokémon, after recovering its power, had clearly far exceeded that giant in both strength and ability to control electrical energy!
She knew that creation and repair were always harder than destruction and ruin!
The behavior of reversing electrical current and preventing the machine's destruction and explosion had looked effortless, but the difficulty of actually accomplishing it was unimaginably staggering!
At this moment, she looked at that golden Pokémon that had reappeared before her, and just as she was about to say something, she saw it give her a deep look before turning to leave. After a few quick leaps, it disappeared from her sight, melting into the deep darkness not far away.
Where it had just been standing, a small tuft of golden fur crackling with blue electricity had fallen to the ground.
Before Cynthia's eyes, a line of text appeared.
[Congratulations! You have discovered the special item "Golden Fur"!]
[Description: Fur that fell from the mythical Pokémon "Zeraora's" body, containing powerful electrical current. Perhaps it could demonstrate special corresponding power in certain situations?]
Looking at this series of prompts before her, Cynthia suddenly recalled something.
Zeraora!
Right, she seemed to have seen a battle notification box pop up during the recent fight—oh, that golden Pokémon's name was this!
And the electrical giant it had fought against... what was its name again?
Regi-something...
Cynthia tried hard to remember the text she had seen at the time, but found herself unable to recall it clearly.
There was no helping it—at the time, she had been in such deep shock that she had almost completely ignored the content in the battle box.
So this Pokémon that had saved her twice, and which Iono had been desperately searching for, was actually named "Zeraora"?
And just as she had been thinking, it wasn't an ordinary Pokémon, nor was it an Ultra Beast.
But it also wasn't a Legendary Pokémon—it was a "Mythical Pokémon"!
What kind of Pokémon classification was that?
As Cynthia wondered about this internally, she saw a crimson figure cheerfully fly to her side.
It came over excitedly and circled around her again and again, making happy sounds.
"Vict-tini!"
This Pokémon was naturally Victini, and at this moment it looked like it was showing off to Cynthia, wearing an extremely proud expression.
Cynthia also snapped out of her daze. Zeraora's sudden recovery of power seemed to have been thanks to Victini's assistance.
The key to this battle appeared to be Zeraora, but actually it was Victini's power.
But that scene still left Cynthia feeling somewhat incredulous. She couldn't help but focus her gaze on Victini's small body and confirm:
"So just now... it was you who acted?"
Victini seemed to pause upon hearing this, then eagerly nodded, as if wanting to prove that he had indeed completely changed the tide of battle.
Not only that, but a dazzling crimson radiance instantly blazed forth from Victini's body once again. This was exactly the same power he had infused into Zeraora, just somewhat diminished!
Having confirmed this fact, Cynthia felt her emotions surge.
At the time, she and the viewers in the livestream chat had thought this storyline had probably reached an unsalvageable point, and could only think about how to deal with that massive electrical giant next time.
But she never expected Victini to burst forth with such incredible power and turn the tide!
But she really couldn't understand how, with his tiny body, he could possibly unleash such vast and terrifying power.
Moreover, Victini was only around level 40. According to the game's performance and real-world level conversion, he was just barely a Gym Leader-level Pokémon.
Why could such a Pokémon completely restore the HP and condition of a Legendary-level existence like Zeraora? And he even seemed to make it stronger?
Just as she was pondering this, another line of colorful information, accompanied by cheerful music, began appearing and floating before her eyes.
[Ding! Please note! Your Pokémon's additional ability has been revealed. Information as follows.]
[Pokémon Ability "Victory Star"!]
[Description: When a Pokémon with this ability is present in the party, all Pokémon's move accuracy increases by 10%, and experience gained from battle increases by 50%.]
[Hidden Effect: A Pokémon with this ability can infuse victory energy into any Pokémon, instantly restoring its HP and status to peak full condition, and temporarily boosting all its stats by 100% for the next (four turns/one minute). This ability can only affect the same Pokémon once per day. This ability cannot be used in official Pokémon League battles!]
[Note: Currently this ability's effective Pokémon level limit is 80. This limit will increase as this Pokémon's level increases.]
Looking at the colorful text prompt before her, Cynthia was momentarily speechless.
Unconditional restoration of all HP, plus doubling all stats for one minute?!!
Such an ability and characteristic...
Could no longer be described with just the word "overpowered," could it??
Looking at that line of bright red ability text, Cynthia's livestream chat naturally exploded once again.
Everyone had even forgotten to watch the screen and instead turned all their attention to this ability possessed by Victini.
[Holy shit, this ability bonus is insane—this is basically a walking cheat code! Who was it that said this guy was just a mascot before?]
[Victory God! Victory God!]
[Who was it that said the author designed this character with very conservative ability stats? Come face me! Look in my eyes!]
[That brother who was going to Hoenn to find this Pokémon—wait for me, I want to come with you!]
[What Victory Star? Just call it Victory God at this point.]
[Damn, the streamer really struck gold this time!]
[I bet the streamer was probably unhappy about being forced to catch a Pokémon, but now she's probably over the moon.]
As the chat exploded with comments, Cynthia took quite a while to recover from the fresh shock that Victini's ability had brought her.
Today she had first witnessed an up-close, first-person experience of a battle between two Legendary-level Pokémon that shook heaven and earth, and then suddenly discovered that this Pokémon in her party had an incredibly overpowered ability.
If she didn't have such strong mental fortitude, she'd probably feel like fainting by now.
At this moment, Cynthia looked at Victini, and after a long while, she input an interaction command, patting Victini's head and praising him.
"So you have such incredible power. That's truly amazing, Victini. Thank you so much this time."
She still found it somewhat unbelievable, looking Victini up and down, and discovered that after infusing Zeraora with that kind of power, he showed no signs of weakness or discomfort. On the contrary, he seemed more energetic and lively than before.
She couldn't help but ask again:
"So using this power doesn't have any restrictions or effects on you?"
"Vict-vict!"
Victini shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this.
However, Cynthia was now confused.
She couldn't understand what Victini was saying, so she didn't know whether his head-shaking meant he was negating her words, or indicating that there really wouldn't be any restrictions or effects...
Looking at Victini before her, Cynthia thought about it and decided it was probably the latter.
Because this little guy really did seem to have no problems whatsoever right now.
But if that was the case, it would be even more terrifying.
This ability had a limit of once per day for each Pokémon, but for Victini himself there was no cooldown time or cost. This meant that as long as Cynthia wanted, in a single battle, she could have Victini grant this additional effect to each of her Pokémon.
That would be equivalent to each Pokémon in her team having an extra HP bar, plus the heaven-defying bonus of doubled stats for one minute.
And this was just its performance in this game—what about in the real world?
Cynthia found herself not daring to think further. If such a Pokémon really appeared in the real world, the issue probably wouldn't just be countless trainers fighting over it, as she had thought before.
The entire world would probably go crazy for it. After all, whoever obtained this Pokémon would be like gaining an endless source of energy!
If it were wartime, it could even power up every single Pokémon in an entire army!
Whoever possessed it would possess victory!
No wonder its ability was called Victory Star!
Thinking of this, Cynthia couldn't help but shake her head repeatedly.
It seemed that, just as she had thought, not every Pokémon in the game had a corresponding existence in the real world.
This Pokémon was most likely something the author had created as an assistant and benefit for players.
It had to be, right?
As Cynthia held Victini and pondered this, the chat discussion had shifted from Victini to the battle between those two Legendary-level Pokémon.
[So that golden Pokémon is called Zeraora—damn, it's really cool. It feels like a Pokémon from a dream.]
[After watching today's storyline, I now understand why that Iono guy is so obsessed with this creature. Anyone who sees it would be mesmerized...]
[Exactly, exactly. I'll say this honestly—although I'm not a Pokémon fan or a furry, if it's Zeraora we're talking about, that's not entirely off the table.]
[Dude above, watch yourself—your pants just flew into my face.]
[There's no way such a Pokémon could exist in the real world, right? That massive electrical giant from before might still have some possibility, but I think this Victini that our streamer has and that Zeraora are probably created by the author.]
[Hard to say. Actually that electrical giant wasn't weak either... doesn't seem like it would be a real existing Pokémon either.]
[What about those two fighting in Galar before? Who do you think is stronger?]
The chat discussion went from the incredible power displayed by Zeraora and Victini to debating the reality of these Pokémon's existence. Obviously, most of them shared the same thoughts as Cynthia, reaching identical conclusions.
And just as the chat was in heated discussion, in the game, Cynthia looked at the scene of devastation all around and suddenly leaned back in the chair behind her, letting out a long sigh.
That golden electrical giant named Regi-something had been completely defeated by Zeraora, and the core machine inside the power plant had returned to normal. Although many of the surrounding auxiliary machines and pipes had suffered considerable damage, and the ground of the entire core area was in ruins.
But according to her understanding of power plants, as long as this most expensive core machine was undamaged, the power plant could resume operation within two days.
This was already the best possible outcome for the situation just now—not only did the power plant not explode, but even the core machine was preserved intact, and this was all thanks to that Zeraora and her own Victini.
Without Victini's power boost, or Zeraora's amazing performance, this crisis probably couldn't have been resolved so easily.
But at this moment, Cynthia couldn't help but think deeply again, and she suddenly discovered a problem.
If this was a storyline segment within the game, wouldn't the participation difficulty be a bit too high from a player's perspective?
After all, not every player would find the secret path by using Strength to break through the fire shortcut like she had, thereby finding a powerful Pokémon like Victini that was basically like a cheat code, and having him play a crucial role at the key moment.
If players who hadn't obtained Victini entered this power plant storyline, would they only have the path of failure?
Based on Cynthia's understanding of this game, her intuition told her that probably wasn't the case.
But for the moment, she really couldn't figure out how this crisis should have been resolved without Victini powering up Zeraora.
But regardless, in the story line where she was the protagonist, everything had been resolved perfectly.
Thinking of this, Cynthia sat up again and used her Poké Balls in the game to recall those Pokémon lying on the ground.
During the recent battle, she had already confirmed that these guys had only entered a paralyzed state due to the electrical current impact and temporarily lost their fighting ability—they should all be fine.
They just needed to go to a Pokémon Center to restore their condition.
Of course, she could also have Victini power them up to restore their strength, but according to Victini's ability description, this opportunity only came once. Cynthia decided to save it carefully for emergencies.
She also suddenly remembered that this ability seemed to have a significant limitation—it couldn't be used in official League battles.
This meant that in upcoming Gym battles, or battles with professional League trainers, she probably wouldn't be able to use this ability to give herself an advantage...
But as long as it wasn't an official League battle, the situation would be completely different.
Like her previous rival.
And that guy called Paul, whose Pokémon had extremely high strength levels.
Even Team Rocket's three members...
Although Cynthia had never been a particularly scheming person.
Thinking about what might happen next, she couldn't help but want to smile a little.
With this thought, Cynthia shook her head slightly. Since the situation at the power plant was completely resolved, it was time for her to leave.
Thinking of this, she waved her hand, had Victini return to her shoulder, and prepared to go back to Mauville City to tell everything that had happened here to Wattson.
However, just as she was about to leave.
"Hummm!!!"
From the distant ruins, a dazzling golden radiance suddenly illuminated this dark space, catching Cynthia's attention!
