Pokémon: My Online Friend Is Cynthia

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Powerful Goodra

A/N:5/6 Bonus Chapters

-----------------------

Julian knew better than anyone how much Aura could help Lucario’s growth.

But Riolu, or Lucario, really were not Pokémon one could catch just because one wanted to.

He smiled.

"Ever since awakening Aura, I have indeed thought about catching a Lucario or Riolu."

"But if I don’t encounter one, there’s nothing I can do."

Cynthia looked rather proud.

"That’s a question you can ask me. I know where Lucario live!"

Julian nodded.

That was true. Among the Pokémon passed down in Cynthia’s family, there was indeed Lucario.

With a smile, he said, "Then may I ask Miss Cynthia to point me in the right direction?"

She stepped forward and touched Goodra’s shell.

"Tonight, familiarise yourself with Goodra first. Tomorrow morning, use Goodra to battle one of my Pokémon."

"As long as the battle satisfies me, I’ll tell you where you should go to catch Riolu!"

Julian patted Goodra’s big head and smiled.

"Goodra, Cynthia is one of the strongest Pokémon Trainers in this era. Do you have confidence?"

Goodra’s eyes instantly became much sharper.

"Goodra!"

The reason Salamence loved harassing Goodra was obviously not because Goodra was cute.

It was because Goodra could fight!

In Salamence’s own view, across the entire Safari Zone, besides herself, Goodra was the strongest fighter!

But what Salamence did not know was that Goodra could fight her evenly even while only defending and not attacking.

If Goodra took the initiative to attack, who knew what astonishing power she would burst out with?

Cynthia’s challenge, along with the request from Julian, her new emotional pillar, made Goodra’s long-dormant fighting spirit burn once again.

It was precisely Cynthia’s exceptional eye that had sensed Goodra’s power. That was why she wanted to battle her.

After all, opportunities to battle Pokémon from the past were rare.

For Cynthia, this was also an extremely precious experience.

Through this Goodra from the Hisui era, she hoped to understand the past.

Cynthia waved her hand.

"You should familiarise yourself with Goodra’s moves first. I won’t watch from the side. Let’s leave a little mystery for tomorrow’s battle."

Octavius smiled and said, "There are some empty dormitories in the staff area. They’re quite simple, so I hope Elite Four Cynthia won’t mind."

Cynthia waved her hand.

"I travelled outside for years in the past too. Having a dormitory to stay in is already very good."

Julian, however, brought Goodra and followed the two of them.

Octavius asked in confusion, "Don’t you need to familiarise yourself with Goodra’s power?"

He smiled.

"I think before familiarising myself with Goodra’s power, I should first fill both my stomach and Goodra’s stomach."

"I plan to use the red lotus fruit to try making Hisui-style Pokémon food, so Goodra can start embracing this brand new era."

"And since Cynthia gave me and Goodra so many red lotus fruits, I should naturally cook personally as a small return gift."

Octavius raised an eyebrow in doubt.

"Our Safari Zone chef is a proper chef specially invited from Pastoria City. Can your cooking really be better than his?"

...

Octavius respectfully lowered his head.

"Your cooking really is better, Julian! I just don’t understand. With the same ingredients, why do they seem to become something miraculous in your hands?"

Julian smiled calmly.

"It’s all thanks to a few little cooking techniques I learned from a chef in Veilstone City."

Cynthia nodded in agreement. Julian’s cooking was slightly inferior to Chef Saiba’s, but eating it made her feel more comfortable.

After dinner, he brought Goodra to an open space in the Safari Zone.

"Goodra, let me see the moves you’re good at using."

Goodra nodded. Then, the shell on her back lit up with silvery-white light.

It looked very similar to Iron Defense, but what Goodra used was not Iron Defense.

It was Goodra’s signature move, Shelter!

It raised Defense and improved evasion.

If her Defense had been lowered, Shelter could also restore it.

A very powerful move.

Then Goodra raised her head and sprayed a blue dragon-shaped wave of light into the sky.

Dragon Pulse. Julian had seen her use it when battling Salamence.

Goodra took a breath and fired a silvery-white beam of light.

Flash Cannon.

She swung her tail, moving the huge snail shell with it.

Its momentum was magnificent. Anyone struck by Goodra’s Iron Tail would definitely suffer.

Goodra lowered her head, and the top of her head turned metallic.

Iron Head!

Then she raised her head again and spat out a brilliant golden meteor.

It exploded in the air, turning into meteors roughly the size of basketballs that fell down.

They smashed pits of around one metre in diameter into the ground.

Draco Meteor!

Professor Carolina had even said she would teach Goodra how to use Draco Meteor.

Unexpectedly, Goodra already knew it.

Silvery-white light began gathering from Goodra’s entire body into her abdomen, then finally fired out as a blazing white beam.

Julian’s eyes widened.

Steel Beam!

Goodra could use this too!

Draco Meteor plus Steel Beam...

The strength of the moves a Pokémon mastered could reflect the Pokémon’s overall power to a certain extent.

With Goodra mastering these two moves, Julian now had a clear understanding of how powerful she was.

Compared to Cynthia’s Garchomp, Goodra’s strength was somewhat lower.

But the gap was not that large.

Being able to catch Goodra truly was his good fortune.

Of course, Goodra having her current strength was also partly thanks to Salamence persistently training her for several years.

Although Salamence had simply liked picking fights with Goodra.

Finally, Goodra opened her mouth and spat out a muddy current.

Then came Blizzard and Water Pulse.

Only after using Water Pulse did Goodra stop and quietly look at Julian.

He clapped excitedly.

"Goodra, you’re amazing!"

Julian used Aura to remove the side effects from Goodra using Draco Meteor and Steel Beam.

"Goodra, for tomorrow’s battle, let’s work hard together!"

Goodra nodded. Tomorrow would be her first time fighting for Julian, and she wanted to prove herself with a victory.

When they returned to the staff area, Cynthia was standing at the door.

Seeing him and Goodra, she smiled.

"Congratulations. You caught such an excellent Pokémon!"

Julian smiled and patted Goodra’s arm.

"Goodra really is excellent. Now I’m even getting a bit of a headache over how to train her so she can keep growing stronger."

That was what he said, but in his heart, he had already designed a set of daily training methods suitable for Goodra.

Even for the Pokémon food formula incorporating red lotus fruit, he had constructed the most suitable current recipe while watching Goodra use her moves earlier.

Cynthia smiled and nodded.

"Training an already mature Pokémon is indeed rather difficult, but I believe you can do it."
