    "To be honest, it wasn't a very pretty looking battle..."
    I disagree. It was the most beautiful battle against Cynthia I think I've ever seen. Curbstomping an opponent is boring and kind of commonplace with the current difficulty of many of the newer Pokemon games. Other than the items, it felt like an honest-to-god PvP Pokemon battle. This fight was a Pokemon battle in it's purest, truest form. From BOTH sides, there was strategy, prediction, application of knowledge, luck, sacrifices, and most of all, no mercy.
    ...And she did it all with the Pokemon she liked. She came into this game knowing basically nothing about Pokemon, she went into this fight knowing basically nothing about Cynthia. She was underleveled, and her supply of items was limited and lacking. The reason she won, is because she is a good Pokemon trainer. This fight proves that.

      Hell, even Cynthia can be squashed by Item buff abuse.
      I was horribly outmatched by the Elite 4, trying to chase down better pokemon to handle them... and then I just used X items, and beat them pretty easily. The closest to Hard was Cynthia, and that's because I was caught tanking Garchomp's Super Effective attacks because I didn't want to lose my X buffs.
      What started as a rough battle with a highly specialized, carefully picked 6 Pokemon team, became a 3 pokemon stomp with box legendary, starter, and... someone else.

Almost lost to two eq only cause of the friendship buffs. If it weren't for those. I'd have lost my first even elite 4 run through in a pokemon game.

    Cynthia has been considered the most powerful and terrifying Champion in the franchise, ever since she first appeared in the original Diamond and Pearl games. Quite ironic, since she’s one of the nicest characters in the series. 😅
    But in all seriousness, her team came out of nowhere for most of us. No one knew about Spiritomb, since the requirements for catching one were insane. No one expected her Milotic to be such a tank, especially with Mirror Coat. Roserade, Gastrodon, and Lucario were tough, but we’d seen them before, so we could adjust more easily. But then…we met her Garchomp. The king sweeper of the generation, and the face of so many nightmares. Especially since Fairy-Type Pokémon wouldn’t exist for years. And this was back in Generation Four, the EASY version of her team! THIS is the greatest iteration of her team, with competitive stats, moves, and items. This is the reason why, even now, we FEAR fighting Cynthia. Because even if we come prepared, she can still utterly destroy us. She is the reason why I will NEVER play a Nuzlocke game!

The fact that she's an adult playing a game like Pokemon and having these sorts of reactions would be over the top coming from just about anyone else, but for Subaru, that's just who she is, pedal down, full gas, no brake.

      You know why you have a problem with enjoying the games? You're probably too busy having expectations when that's the one thing you shouldn't bother thinking about because if they aren't met you're going to be disappointed. It's not just Subaru, I enjoy each new pokemon game I play because I go in with no expectations or needless hype. I go in with an open mind and curiosity to explore each and every new region. It's the spirit of the game and I abide by it. Mind you, I've been playing since the very beginning so I have around the same level of experience. It's all about how you approach/treat the game.

    She didn't get through with blind luck like lucky crits or the power of friendship bs, she got through with her will and knowledge she collected throughout the journey. She uses everything she have, her knowledge, her items, and her pokemon to find ways to actually succeed.

    Subaru : I feel like I'm going to get traumatized by Cynthia.
    Old players : She's already our source of trauma.
    Her champion battle sure is very anime. Fairly underleveled, barely have enough knowledge of the Pokemon and their types, subconsciously triggered Nuzlocke senses throughout the entire battle and pulled through with the power of friendship. I don't know what her ideal battle scenario is, but stalling for buffs and switching out for "meat shields" is actually pretty common. Though honestly that was the first time I saw Cynthia doing constant switching for the battle, the other members doesn't seem to encounter that on their fight with Cynthia, even those that did Nuzlocke like Calli or Pekora. It's interesting how she was already nervous at the beginning, but as the battle go on further, her tension keep on rising to the point that she couldn't even talk calmly. And that Milotic seems to have pushed her beyond her limits. That was one competitive Milotic and she managed to endure that fairly well.

    I love seeing Subaru experiencing thing's I've known for more than 10 years now for the first time. Brings back those childhood memories of not exactly knowing how the moves work or which Pokemon has what type. And the happiness of beating your first champion. You can't replicate that feeling. But seeing and hearing that happiness from Subaru at least brings parts of that memory back. What a beautiful moment.

    For those that aren't quite sure on Pokemon, as a lot of mentioned in the comments, Cynthia's whole team is basically comp ready the Milotic in this case has a fire orb which gives Miltoic a burn but halves it's attack (granted it only has spec attack moves). Milotic has a special ability called "Marvel Scale" which when the Pokémon has a status ailment increases its defence by 50%, so naturally you would think "Well let use spec attack moves then" but if you do this the Milotic also has a move called "Mirror Coat" which when it's hit by a spec attack move, Mirror Coat will do 2x the damage back. On top of Milotic's best stat being their spec defence

    Her journey started as a legit anime protagonist. Unaware of the dangers of the world, and slowly learning how to grow and together with her friends, she persevered every single challenge, there was pain, there were tears. There was frustration, and all of that was for the sake of our Shuba Lord to grow stronger. She enjoyed the journey the way any of us would if we were playing pokemon for the first time. It was really moving seeing her win when all odds were against her, and she makes me really proud.

    Let’s take a step back for a second and analyze what I saw in this fight as the biggest part of Cynthia’s threat.
    1. Half or over half her team is composed of Pokémon you have no idea about if you played this blind. Gastrodon is the only exception, so you don’t know most type weaknesses for them (like thinking Milotic is part dragon which I can definitely understand.)
    2. She uses combinations and strategies most competitive players would come up with.
    3. She’s got higher level Pokémon than you.
    4. All of her Pokémon have items.
    She’s a monster who has every reason to be seen as the biggest roadblock for any Pokémon player.

When I was playing my first game, I didn’t care about held items and beat it with a level 100 Alakazam and Raichu. The best solutions you have against Cynthia are using a fully developed overleveled team or using actual strategies to counter her team.
      If you’re a kid going into this blind, still not having a firm grasp of the game which is likely, she rips your team to shreds before you even see Garchomp, her ace. Heck, I almost lost to Milotic alone because of the burn orb shenanigans.
