>>58093937Liko and Roy are Champion-level.
Roy, you can buy he tryharded training at Kalos for a year enough to get Nemona-tier.
But Liko? Keep in mind that two weeks ago in-universe, yes you can count the time that passed by, was not able to defeat Paldean Gym Leaders but then she was able to defeat Geeta's ace and overpower it on a beam clash.
Paldea being a weak-shitter region or not, ultimately, they're still Champions, so seeing people whose amount of battles you can count with one hand and who don't even have a single gym badge on them go and defeat Champions is kinda you know.
>B-But Geeta was a 3vs1!Imagine if back on the OG anime Lance appeared and lost to an Ash, Misty and Brock team-up. And this was before Ash fought Surge. And people said "well, it can't be helped, it was a 3vs1".
Or if it happened to Cynthia during DP.
3 ants shouldn't be able to do anything to a lion.
>B-But it was not an official match Nemona was not going all out she was holding back! Not using her real team!Nemona was creaming herself when she saw post timeskip Roy because of the potential waku waku. She's not gonna hold back at such a point.
Nemona raised her "new team" to Champion-level by the end of it all in the games. There's zero indication that her Pawmot is any weaker to her "real team" after she's been with it for so long.
And Ribombee is part of her DLC team too so the cope doesn't work there either.
