In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

We're very close to the West Lion Sea Serpent, charge!

A resolute look flashed in Niumi Lulong's eyes, and white spiral energy slowly rose from her body.

It accelerated again and crashed directly into the power of the moon!

The ultimate impact clashes head-on with the power of the moon!

boom!

The energy of white and pink continuously overflowed and intertwined, finally exploding with a bang.

........

With the remaining energy of the Ultimate Impact still lingering in its body, the Golem charged towards the Primarina amidst the bursting energy ripples.

To Primarin's astonishment, Goodra crashed heavily into Primarin.

"Freeze Ray!"

Bakura looked at Numeru in surprise, his endurance was really strong, he was able to charge over again.

But that's all!

Primarin, having been knocked away by Goodra, regained its balance and unleashed an icy blue beam of light directly at Goodra.

While the ultimate impact is incredibly powerful, it has a fatal flaw: the resulting stun effect after use!

And that's exactly what's happening with Nymura now!

Stunned, the Golem could only watch helplessly as the Freeze Ray struck it.

The intense freezing air directly froze the mussels!

Karuno frowned. This was unavoidable, but she hadn't expected that Primarina could adjust so quickly.

The stun duration of the Golem's ultimate attack is not long, and it doesn't take long for it to break free from the freezing effect of the Freeze Ray.

but……

"Destroy the Death Ray!"

But before Karuno could continue thinking, Bakura's voice had already reached her ears.

Dark energy formed in front of Primarina, and a destructive beam of light struck the frozen Goodra hard!

boom!

A violent explosion rang out.

Chapter 266 Shocking: Carlos's Champion Crushed (Seeking Full Subscription)

A violent explosion shattered the ice that had bound Goodra, sending it flying. It crashed heavily to the ground, struggling to lift its head, but ultimately slumped down, unable to fight.

Diantha's second Pokémon also failed!

"We won again~ Go Bakura-nii~"

Serena watched as Numeru collapsed to the ground, and waved enthusiastically to Bakura.

Although she is a native of the Carlos region, she should logically be cheering for one of her idols, Karuno.

Well, what can I say, she admires Bakura more now.

"This……"

Pansy frowned deeply, staring in astonishment and shock at the sirens gently flicking their tails in the arena.

Although unlike the relaxed and carefree wrestler, West Lionhead didn't suffer any serious injuries. He was just shocked by an electric shock and then hit by the ultimate "323" impact.

But Primarina has already defeated two of Diantha's Pokémon!

How is it possible... to be that strong?

Pansy gazed at the handsome young man in the cherry blossom robe. This person was truly stronger than Champion Karuno!

"It's a shame, but even the Golem is no match for my Primarina, Champion Karuno."

Bakura looked up at Karuno and said with a light laugh.

Judging from the current situation, Karuno's strength is roughly equivalent to that of Mikuri.

That makes sense, though. Among all the regional champions, Karuno has never ranked at the top, roughly on par with Adekmikuri.

"I have no regrets. For me, fighting has never been about pursuing victory."

“I recognized Mr. Bakura’s strength from the very beginning.”

Diantha smiled and shook her head; she was different from those trainers who were obsessed with winning and losing.

Although she is the regional champion, she is not pursuing victory; for her, victory is something she deserves.

If she fails one day, it can only be said that it was destined, because her opponent is stronger than her, and she needs to improve her training. That's all.

"Karuno's mentality as a champion is truly remarkable."

Bakura glanced at Karuno in surprise. He was indeed very surprised that such words came from the mouth of a regional champion.

No wonder that even after losing in the game, Karuno could still say something like "trembling with excitement," which makes Bakura wonder if Karuno is a masochist.

"However, I don't think so. If we don't even care about winning or losing in a battle between Pokémon, then the meaning of the battle is really pathetic."

"The meaning of being a trainer is to hone oneself, train, and grow stronger. And the belief that supports this meaning, for me and for the vast majority of trainers, is victory!"

"I want to win, so I can defeat all my enemies! What do you think, Champion Karuno?"

Bakura then shrugged and smiled faintly, saying that he was surprised by Karuno's thoughts, but he could not agree with them.

Even for prodigies like Crimson and Blue, their goal is to become the strongest trainer and win every time they go on their way!

It's not that I can't face failure, but no one likes the taste of failure.

Especially for strong trainers with a proud spirit.

Many people can't afford to lose; a single failure can ruin a person's life. That's why Bakura is always obsessed with winning!

He wants to keep winning! He doesn't want to lose to anyone!

“Of course, Mr. Bakura is absolutely right.”

Karuno nodded and smiled in agreement. She had her own thoughts, but she would not refute or reject other people's ideas.

And Bakura is right, most trainers in this world strive for victory.

"It seems we've strayed from the topic. Well then, Champion Diantha, let me see what your last Pokémon is."

"As the Carlos Champion, your power should be more than this, right?"

Bakura tilted his head slightly, looking at Karuno, his cherry blossom robe fluttering in the breeze, exuding an elegant and graceful aura.

"That's natural, so next up is my favorite elf."

"Gardevoir! Make your grand entrance!"

Looking at the dashing Bakura, Diantha smiled and tossed the Poké Ball into her hand.

A flash of white light appeared, and an elegant and noble humanoid Pokémon appeared in front of Diantha.

Her slender white body resembled that of someone wearing an elegant dance gown, with a green inner lining to the flowing skirt. She had delicate, long arms and ruby-like eyes that were both calm and captivating.

Gardevoir is one of the most popular Pokémon in the Pokémon world, and is known as the Psychic Queen!

Gardevoir is also Diantha's ace!

"Gardedoll, I've heard so much about you. You're such a beautiful Pokémon."

Bakura carefully examined Gardevoir, and then couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he initially pursued Gardevoir as well, given Gardevoir's immense potential. In Bakura's mind, training Gardevoir as a Psychic-type mainstay was absolutely worthwhile...

Unfortunately, due to Gardevoir's great fame, it has become an extremely rare Pokémon.

In terms of rarity and preciousness, it can be said to be almost second only to pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Bakura searched for a Ralts in the Sinnoh and Hoenn regions for two years, but unfortunately he couldn't find one he was satisfied with.

This is also one of his regrets, after all, the Gardevoir race is not only gorgeous and elegant in appearance, but also very strong in combat.

In addition, with her gentle and loyal personality, no one would dislike Gardevoir.

After all... in the Pokémon world, you can even hear news of humans marrying Gardevoir.

This is enough to demonstrate Gardevoir's charm...

"This is my favorite and strongest main force that I rely on. Mr. Bakura, please give it your all."

Hearing Bakura's praise, Diantha's smile became even brighter, because Gardevoir was her favorite companion.

"Oh?" Bakura raised an eyebrow, as if he had realized something.

Gardevoir!

Karuno slightly raised her hand, and a beautiful keystone in her hand shone brightly.

"Shanai~"

Gardevoir responded to Diantha's call with its clear and elegant voice, and the evolution stone hanging around its neck began to flash.

A burst of colorful evolutionary light enveloped Gardevoir, and it Mega Evolved!

As the light of evolution faded, a brand-new Mega Gardevoir came into everyone's view.

The original long dress was transformed into a fluffy princess dress, and the red horny object on the chest was replaced with two, making her look even more noble and beautiful.

4.1 "Super evolution? Interesting."

Bakura carefully examined Mega Gardevoir, a smile playing on his lips. After a moment's thought, he recalled Primarina.

"Although I've had the Mega Stone for a while now, this is the first time I've actually used Mega Gardevoir in battle. Please enjoy the experience, Mr. Bakura."

Karuno was not surprised by Bakura's choice and smiled as she slowly spoke.

"Of course, then let it become Gardevoir's opponent."
