Elf: This owner is so sunny.

"Bakutaro, earthquake."

The Firestorm Beast let out a low growl, its roar deafening, and slammed its fists heavily into the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.

Earthquakes in the ground system.

Fire-type moves certainly posed no threat to Toxapex, but Gold chose to use a Ground-type move, and a very powerful one at that: Earthquake.

"surf!"

Instead of using the "Defend" skill to block and avoid this round of damage, Bai Yu chose to use "Surf".

Given the current state of the Firestorm Beast, it won't be able to maintain its Blazing state for long.

Even in its remaining state, the super-bad planet could still withstand the erosion of this earthquake.

Earthquake ripples rose from the ground, and deep purple poisonous light instantly covered the Firestorm Beast's body. Its face contorted in a ferocious expression, but it still managed to unleash an earthquake of maximum power.

The effects of poisoning began to take hold.

Ajin clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the fiery beast in front of him.

Superbad Star wasn't idle either. A stream of water gathered in front of it and spewed towards Typhlosion. Almost instantly, the water covered the entire ground. Affected by the earthquake, the water on the ground fluctuated violently.

"Bakutaro!"

Hearing Ajin's shout, the Firestorm Beast, despite its physical discomfort, ignited its flames to their highest point. Before the earthquake could take effect, it charged forward towards the water in front of it.

An astonishing flame erupted from its body, engulfing the entire body of the Firestorm Beast. At this moment, the Firestorm Beast's power reached its peak.

Zizizi!
The water and flames collided, and the rising steam showed how intense the fire was. Such a powerful attack was one of the few high-damage moves the fire monster could use.

The fiery abyss of fire.

Like a raging fire, it covered the entire body of the Firestorm Beast, and with the support of the raging flames, the temperature of this fire was raised to its limit.

suddenly!

The water flow stopped, and Superbad Star was unable to use Surf due to the earthquake. At this moment, Typhoon, unaffected by the resistance, rushed towards Superbad Star as if it were an empty field.

Supervillain was curled up in pain, the shockwaves from the earthquake relentlessly shaking his body.

"Bakutaro! Charge!"

Akin shouted loudly, and the Firestorm Beast also made its final sprint. The intense flames temporarily covered the spread of poisonous light within its body, and it crashed into Supervillain.

Boom! !
There was a loud bang.

Supervillain was blasted away by this force.

He crashed to the ground, as if in that moment all his strength had been exhausted.

Having done all this, the Firestorm Beast could no longer suppress the poisonous light within its body. The poisonous light suddenly appeared, engulfing the Firestorm Beast completely. The Firestorm Beast seemed to have lost its last bit of strength, and it crashed heavily to the ground, motionless.

"That challenger is very strong; he actually defeated Shiraha Gym Leader's Super Bad Star."

"That's a Toxapex Pokémon, the 'unanimously recognized' strongest Pokémon of the White Feather Gym Leader."

"Yeah yeah!"

Before anyone knew it, many trainers had appeared in the gym to watch the battle, and every one of them showed a look of amazement on their faces.

Looking at the counter on the big screen, it was clear that Akin had already lost one of his Pokémon from battle, while Bai Yu had just lost one of his Pokémon.

"Who on the internet spread the rumor that Akin can defeat Master Shiraha?"

At that moment, a questioning voice came from the crowd.

He really didn't understand who spread the false information that Bai Yu had lost to A Jin. Now that he saw it, it was just nonsense!
"That's right... Gym Leader Shiraha, known as the most toxic Gym Leader in the Kanto region, is practically invincible except for his usual tendency to hold back."

"I think even Gym Leader Sakaki of Viridian City wouldn't be a match for Gym Leader Shiraha."

"Hehe...you're wrong about that. At least Gym Leader Sakaki defeated everything fair and square with absolute strength, while Gym Leader Shiraha plays in the underworld, especially with that Supervillain and Nut Dumbbell, he plays it perfectly."

"..."

People in the crowd couldn't help but compare the strength of Sakaki and Shiraha.

A small number of people believe that Sakaki is stronger than Shiraha, but the vast majority believe that Shiraha is stronger than Sakaki, after all, Shiraha has just returned from Miyagi City in the Galar region and defeated the champions from other regions.

"Superbad Star and Typhlosion are both incapacitated."

The referee stepped forward, glanced at the Typhlosion's condition, and slowly shook his head.

As the referee finished speaking, Akin had only one Pokémon left in his hand.

Toxapex defeated two of Gold's Pokémon in a row, which is quite an impressive feat.

After all, Akin is already at the champion level. Although judging from his performance, he has only recently entered the championship stage, he is at least a champion. Moreover, the Supervillain is not best at offense.

"Thank you for your hard work, Toxapex." Bai Yu took out a Poké Ball and recalled Toxapex from the field.

If he wasn't mistaken, Akin had activated the power of bonds. Tsk... these protagonists love to do this at crucial moments, actually unleashing two different moves in an instant.

Moreover, the final fiery abyss was clearly a move released by the Firestorm Beast on its own.

Akin simply called out the name of the Firestorm Beast, conveying his thoughts in this way.

This is also the most common way to use the power of bonds.

It allows Pokémon to read the trainer's mind and release corresponding moves almost instantly.

"What Pokémon should you use next?"

Bai Yu smiled slightly and looked at A Jin on the opposite side.

Apart from Typhlosion, the Pokémon that Akin had were not very effective at countering the Pokémon that Bai Yu would release next.

"Hmph! Master Baiyu, I won't stop here."

Even with only one Pokémon left, Gold's face was still full of confidence, showing no signs of being affected by the previous battle.

That's just him.

They like to do things as they please.

He came to the Kanto region and Macha City this time purely because he saw Shiraha's performance in the Masters on TV and took the initiative to challenge him.

Akin doesn't crave victory, but rather enjoys the fun the competition brings. Of course, he is also very loyal, which is why he helps those he thinks need help on his journey.

He is also a loner with a distinct personality.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. A-Du hadn't been in the Johto region before; he had been wandering around other areas. As the champion, he shouldn't have been wandering around, but he happened to have the identity of an Investigator.

The investigators' job is to travel to different areas to fight crime.

"Gym Leader White Feather! Next up, my third Pokémon will be this one."

Akin threw his third Poké Ball into the sky.

"Tokotaro!" A flash of white light appeared, and a Pokémon covered in fluffy white fur with broad triangular wings appeared in front of Gold.

Its movements appear very light, and because it has a built-in flight ability, it ignores the effects of the poison shards on the ground when it enters the field.

Togekiss, a Fairy/Flying type, is found in the Johto, Sinnoh, and Galar regions.

Characteristic: Divine Grace
Techniques: Air Blade, Divine Bird Strike, Triple Attack, Aura Missile, Divine Speed, Fairy Wind, Angel's Kiss, Life Drop, Primal Power, Yawn, Baton Pass, Sacrifice Charge, Mystic Guard, Steel Wing, Psychic Shock, Shadow Ball...

Introduction: It is said that Tokkis would visit peaceful lands free from conflict, bringing them various blessings.

"It's Togekiss!"

"The Sinnoh Champion Cynthia used a Pokémon in the Galar region before."

"I didn't expect that challenger also had this Pokémon."

The spectators outside the arena were somewhat surprised, after all, when Akin had fought them before, he had only used Apokolips, and Apokolips alone was enough to sweep them away.

After all, they are champion-level fighters.

Bullying trainers who aren't even at the Gym Leader level is an incredibly easy thing to do.

"Pokekiss, that's a bit of a surprise."

Bai Yu stared at Togekiss in the air. Judging from its aura, it was not as imposing as Typhlosion, which had appeared earlier, but Togekiss had characteristics that were superior to Typhlosion.

With the Blaze ability, unless it's a Chimchar from the Sinnoh region that was captured by Paul and then abandoned, other Fire-type Pokémon, even if they trigger Blaze, will only show lackluster performance.

In its extreme rage, the little fire monkey unleashed a raging fire powerful enough to eradicate the poison thorns on the ground, even those suffering from severe poisoning.

That's absolutely insane...

The appearance of Togekiss was indeed unexpected for Bai Yu, but it was also within expectations. After all, Togepi already existed in the Johto region. Togepi evolved into Togekiss, and then used the Light Stone to evolve into Togekiss.

Both the Light Stone and Togekiss are products that only appeared after the Sinnoh region was created.

In the special episode, the Light Stone that Ging used to evolve his Togepi into Togekiss was given to Ging by Lance at the Ruins of Alpford.

But now! The storyline seems to have changed. Akin's Togepi has evolved into Togekiss, just like the Twintail we saw before.

"Nut Dumbbells!"

Without hesitation, Bai Yu threw out the Poké Ball he had taken out beforehand.

A sturdy figure appeared in front of Bai Yu, its back view so reliable, its blank eyes fixed on Togekiss in the sky.

The combination of Grass and Steel types immediately attracted everyone's attention upon its appearance.

"Nut-weight dumbbells! They're actually nut-weight dumbbells?!"

"First he released Megatron, then he brought out Nutcracker. Today, Gym Leader Shiraha is exceptionally terrifying..."

"…Yeah yeah."

Everyone swallowed hard, a look of fear on their faces.

Supervillain and Nut Dumbbell usually only appear once, but today they appeared twice.

Supervillain was disgusting enough, but the appearance of Nut Dumbbell brought back some bad memories for everyone, back when Bai Yu was still trapped in Supervillain's world.

Almost every day you could see the nut dumbbells. Back then, they were just seed iron balls, spheres covered in iron spikes. They looked silly and clumsy, but they could unleash amazing power.

"Nut dumbbells?!"

I'm also very familiar with this Pokémon, Gold.

Even though they had never faced each other before, Bai Yu had used this Pokémon in the Masters Tournament finals.

It's even more sinister than the Supervillain we just saw. It has no yang energy at all and exudes a chilling aura. In particular, its characteristic is that anyone who gets close to it is doomed.

However, his Togekiss is primarily a Special Attack Pokémon, and this time he absolutely will not get close to that Nutcracker.

Even though Fairy-type moves were resisted by Ferrothorn, Flying-type moves were not, not to mention that his Togekiss also knew Fire-type moves.

"Poktaro, use Flamethrower!" Akin didn't hesitate and launched an attack decisively.

Tokiss roared, gathering a flame in its mouth, and blasted it towards the Nut Dumbbell.

Fire-type jet flames.

Flamethrower is the most common Fire-type move, and many Pokémon can learn it. Even Gyarados can learn Flamethrower in some versions.

"Spinning Top Ball!" Bai Yu smiled faintly.

Nut Dumbbell swung its vines, a metallic sheen instantly covering them, its entire body transforming into a spinning top as it slowly moved forward.

A steel-based spinning top.

"You blocked my fire attack?" Akin frowned.

You can clearly see the spinning nut dumbbells completely blocking the flames. The flames, surrounded by the metallic sheen, actually form a small barrier.

As the fire intensified, Tokiss was forced to raise his body to avoid further attacks.

"Poktaro, rise!!"

Togekiss let out a low growl and flapped its wings to move towards higher ground; the Gyro Ball was no longer a threat to Togekiss in the air.

"Stop! Use the Needle Missile!"

With a sudden swing of the nut dumbbell, scattered flames fell to the ground, while the spikes hidden on the iron barbs burst forth at that moment.

Countless missiles almost completely covered Togekiss's field of vision. Togekiss, focused only on rising, was unable to react and could only watch helplessly as the missiles pierced its body.

The Bug-type Pin Missiles dealt very little damage to Togekiss. Despite taking multiple hits in succession, Togekiss only let out a soft groan, and its condition remained as stable as ever.

This level of damage is hardly surprising.

"One hundred thousand volts!"

Bai Yu launched another attack.

A golden current surged from the Nut Dumbbell, transforming into a beam of light that shot towards Togekiss.

"Get out of the way, Poketaro!"

Tokiss moved quickly, his figure darting around rapidly. The descent began, but with Akin's words, it rose again, spinning rapidly in the air.

An electric current swept past Togekiss. It was a stretch to deal damage with just 100,000 volts, as the Nut Dumbbell's release speed was simply too slow.

"The Air Blade is here!"

Togekiss spun around, flapping its wings violently, and beams of wind blades surged forth, hurtling towards Nut Dumbbell.

A flying-type air blade.

Steel-type is effective against Flying-type, but Grass-type is weak to Flying-type; Air Blade deals normal damage. (End of Chapter)
