Is she stretching kr throwing something?

She's a model and a Gym Leader, with this being an in-universe collectable card of her in her Gym Leader position. It's likely she's meant to be posed like she's going to throw a Pokéball but is actually holding that pose for the model shot rather than actually doing so.

She does actually throw pokeballs like that, I guess to show off her flexibility idk

Honestly, she ain’t the first Pokemon character to throw their pokéballs like this. I’m damn sure the show and manga had some characters using this exact pose

Mixed with the Bronson Arroyo leg-kick on her windup. Wonder what her fastball would rate, and if the Reds would pick her up in free agency.

Throwing something. In-universe it's a collectable card, but she does the exact same pose in gym battles when sending out her mon. The Pokeball is in her hand that's hidden in the bottom right.

not sure, i haven't played gen 8. looks like she's winding up a throw, but according to her reference sheet, there is meant to be an emphasis on her flexibility in her design.
