I'd be scared too if there was a bomb around my neck.

From the poster above you, I think that's an explodey bomb-pokemon. She's put a bomb collar on the 85 so he obeys or dies.

In pokemon series gym badges not only allow further story progress but also increase how high level of pokemons will listen to you.
Probably done to avoid people 'selling' high level pokemon to new players to carry them.

In this case the girl can only guarantee order on pokemons up to lv 80, but the garchomp is lv 85 therefore it can refuse to listen.

so she put a bomb (well, a pokemon with self-destruct move) on its neck, implying if it refuse to listen...pop.

Voltorb is infamous for using "self destruct" and that's what she tied to his neck lmao boom

 

[TheBigMonk]

Wow! That's fucked up.
This is pokemon abuse.
She should go join Team Rocket.

If you want to be the very best, like no one ever was, sometimes you got to get your hands a little dirty.

And for someone that hasn't played pokemon in like 20 years thinking "That doesn't look like Voltorb" just know that this is a Voltorb variant from the time period this game takes place in

It's a setting-appropriate variant. The trainer is from the Legends of Arceus game.

And here I thought author just make it looks mechanical as to say this is bomb shaped after pokemon, not actual pokemon...

I knew about new variants on surface level; voltorb variants was never mentioned though, so I didn't know it also got one.

Funny that you say that, because I'm like 75% sure that Lieutenant Surge in the Pokémon Adventures manga, who's a part of Team Rocket in that series, had a vest of Voltorbs and Electrodes (their evolution) that he used exactly the way you'd think he would. It didn't kill him, but uh...yeah.
