[Itsuki also has taken out his fifth and second last Pokemon.

.
"Gyarados, start the battle with rain dance." Itsuki was sure that he will able to defeat level 39 Lucario but he didn't wished to repeat the same mistake he did at the starting of this battle. So Itsuki called for extra power which would confirm his victory in this round.
Once again rain started to pour on the battlefield.
Sigh!
Cynthia already knew this was a hopeless battle for her. Just from sensing the mighty power Gyarados had, she knew that her chance of defeating Gyarados was very small.
.
"Itsuki, I have a proposal. We all know that my Lucario won't able to defeat a 5th order Pokemon. If Lucario was to still continue to this fight, he would be seriously injured or even worse Lucario might even lose his life which I don't wish to see." Everyone in the stadium impatiently waited for Cynthia's next words. Some people already even had guessed what Cynthia was going to say.
"So?" Itsuki asked with a knowing smile.
Cynthia recalled Lucario in the Pokeball and took out another Pokeball with a smile on her face. "So let's dive into the main event."
.
Click!
Garchomp!
Seeing two mighty 5th order, all the people in the stadium were excited, There is no doubt that this year's Indigo League had let the people experience many kinds of emotions; surprised, shocked, regret, excitement.
This year's two dark horse who no one knew about before the Indigo League. Now had become world wide famous in just two days. After today, the whole today would gave to write Cynthia's and Itsuki's name in the book off genius.
.
When the Indigo League started, more than 80 percent of the people believed that they would see the finals between Ash and Gary; both Oak's grandsons. But this year, a single trainer with no name, no background knocked out both grandsons of world famous scientist Professor Oak. This itself is a huge thing. Then there is the Dark Horse of Sinnoh region. After seeing Cynthia battle, many people wondered where Sinnoh had hidden this diamond for all these years.
.
"Itsuki you have no idea how hard I have worked to prepare for this moment. My first and primary goal is to defeat you while winning the championship League comes at second. Garchomp Dragon breath."
"Gyarados counter with hydro pump." Because of the rain, Gyarados has received a boost in his agility. The rain can increase the power of water type moves by 50%. Cynthia didn't realize that Gyarados also had another ability which can lower the opponent attack level my one.
.
Boom!
Both attacks clashed. Cynthia thought Gyarados attack would be pushed back and hit Gyarados but that clearly didn't happen. Both of their attacks clashed. It looks like Garchomp attack power was same as Gyarados.
"What happening?" Cynthia felt she had missed something. After taking another look at Gyarados, she decided to use her Pokedex to check out about Gyarados natural ability.
.
While Cynthia checked on Gyarados, Itsuki didn't give any orders to Gyarados. Itsuki wanted the battle to be a fair fight and attacking Garchomp when Cynthia is using her Pokedex would be considered as cheating.
[Intimidate: - When a Pokémon with Intimidate enters the battle, it lowers the Attack power of its opponent by one level. Intimidate has no effect on Pokémon who are immune to Attack stat reductions, such as Pokémon with Clear Body, Hyper Cutter, or White Smoke.]
.
'Garchomp has no ability that would allow him to resist intimidate. The only two ability that Garchomp possess are Sand Veil and Rough Skin.' Since Garchomp attack power has been reduced by one level and Gyarados water type moves power has been increased by 50%, Gyarados was able to hold his own against Garchomp.
.
"Intimidate only lower Garchomp attack power. That means we still have our speed. Garchomp use Dragon Claw." Garchomp disappeared from his place and flew towards Gyarados at his full speed. Itsuki on seeing this ordered Gyarados to use 'Dragon Pulse'.
Gyarados fired a multicolored dragon-shaped beam of energy from its mouth. Garchomp using his dragon claws easily cut the beam of energy as he flew towards Gyarados at his top speed.
.
Boom!
Gyarados fell on the ground with a loud sound. Gyarados body was almost 2 times bigger than Garchomp and had disadvantage when it came to speed. Garchomp on the other hand, being a flying type had advantage in flying. There was nothing Itsuki could do about Garchomp super speed.
[An direct hit. Gyarados must have taken lots of damage.]
.
Fortunately Gyarados quickly got up with two big 1 meters size cut marks on his body. Gyarados ignored the blood that flowed out from his wounds.
"Gyarados use hydro Pump."
"Dragon Claw."
Garchomp flapped his wings and flew towards Gyarados at his full speed. Garchomp easily dodged the hydro pump attack and continued to charge Gyarados.
.
Boom!
For the second time, Gyarados took the attack of level 46 Garchomp attack. The attack caused Gyarados to fall on the ground as more blood started to come out of his wounds. Itsuki clenched his fists in anger and in frustration. Garchomp speed was too fast and he was easily able to dodge Gyarados attacks. Itsuki had stuck in this situation.
.
"Garchomp finish this with Dragon Rush." Garchomp flew towards Gyarados, the appendages on its head glow blue and it releases a dragon-shaped energy that covers its body. Garchomp then slammed into Gyarados with full force.
Boom!
Itsuki could only bitterly watch as his Gyarados took Garchomp strongest attack with full force.
[I think Gyarados game is over with this attack.] There was no way, Gyarados would still be conscious after taking the strongest attack of Garchomp.
.
The rain stopped, as the dark clouds started to move away. Everyone noticed that Gyarados was not moving anymore.
[Gyarados is unable to battle]
Silence!
The entire stadium for a moment turned silent. At this moment everyone had one question in their mind. Can Zeraora beat Garchomp. Whether it was Cynthia's fans or Itsuki's fans they had the same question.
.
Even Cynthia's haters would have to admit that they have never seen Garchomp injured or looking exhausted. Every Pokemon no matter how stronger it was, Garchomp managed to crush all of them.
Some people even started to believe that Garchomp is some kind of mighty existence who cannot be defeated. They began to believe that Garchomp will remain undefeated throughout the entire Indigo League.
.
While everyone was thinking about Garchomp strength and his records, only Itsuki was starting to feel depressed and heart broken. Itsuki never thought his Gyarados would go out this way. Itsuki now regrets not teaching Gyarados some close ranged moves. A part of Itsuki think that he could have at least landed a attack on Garchomp if he had taught Gyarados one or two closed range moves.
.
Itsuki tightly clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh and his palms started to bleed. Itsuki wasn't feeling anger at Cynthia. For Cynthia, Itsuki had nothing but endless admiration and respect. Itsuki was blaming himself for his incompetence. He was blaming his shortcoming. Again and again, Itsuki kept making small mistakes which costed him a lot throughout the entire battle.
.
With the little bit of courage that Itsuki had left in his heart, Itsuki looked at Zeraora who was standing by his side and nodded his head.
Zeraora nodded her head back as if understanding Itsuki's thoughts. Itsuki ignored the strange feeling he had when those woman who looked half male took away his Gyarados with a grin on their faces. Itsuki's heart was filled with many thoughts to pay attention to such details.
.
[It finally have come down to one v one battle. Itsuki's strongest Pokemon versus Cynthia stronger.]
Itsuki took a deep breath to set aside his thoughts and focus his mind on the battle. "Zeraora use flash steps."
Crack!
Blue lightning wrapped around Zeraora's body as the lightning made cracking noise. "Let's give our everything."
.
Cynthia noticed the drops of blood falling from Itsuki's palms. She didn't know what had caused to Itsuki to hurt himself, she only hoped that Itsuki would be himself throughout the entire battle and give his best. "Garchomp mud shot."
"Zeraora Aura sphere"
