Chapter 1256: Breaking the Baton Relay Team

Otsuka was eager for battle.

Cheng Hong’s strong opening inspired him to take on the coming fight with great ambition.

He wanted to teach this arrogant little ghost a lesson, just because he’s from Silicon City doesn’t mean he’s invincible!

“Go! My partner!”

The Pokeball soared high, a burst of white light glittering with a bang.

“Thud——”

The thick-skinned Donphan raised its long trunk, with robust tusks giving it a fierce demeanor.

“Tch! Just a Donphan! I’ve seen plenty of those!”

Fude dismissively tossed his Pokeball, speaking boastfully, “Let me show you something new!”

Bam!

“Rin!”

A tall Pokémon resembling a giraffe appeared, with its head seemingly bitten by a giant black-bean-like creature.

The confident Otsuka and Donphan were dumbfounded.

What kind of Pokémon is this? Girafarig? That’s not right! Girafarig isn’t this tall!

An evolution?

Does Girafarig have an evolution? This Pokémon hasn’t been taught yet!

Otsuka began to sweat nervously.

Meanwhile, Fude was very satisfied with his performance, laughing loudly with hands on his hips, “Never seen it, huh? Let me teach you! This is called Farigiraf, the evolved form of Girafarig! The rest… you’ll have to guess! Use Double Beam!”

“Rin!”

Farigiraf emitted a crisp call, its large watery eyes shooting out a pink-purple beam!

Buzz——

“Quick, dodge!”

Otsuka hastily commanded Donphan to evade, fortunate that Donphan’s reaction was swift, rolling forward to narrowly miss Farigiraf’s eye beams.

Bang!

The ground exploded into a shallow pit, sweat trickling down his forehead.

Do Girafarig’s evolution change its attribute? Its trait? What abilities improve compared to before?

Just have to treat it like a Girafarig in battle!

Otsuka planned to battle Farigiraf as if it hadn’t evolved, since the difference with limited information wasn’t significant.

From afar.

Baimu saw Otsuka’s gritted expression and knew the guy was out of sorts; the upcoming combat would be hard to battle.

If he were to remind him, it could help Otsuka…

No need.

Given his opponent’s arrogant attitude, no matter the final outcome, afterwards Otsuka would surely make an effort to better his Pokémon knowledge, to avoid such a mistake again.

Meanwhile, Farigiraf was indeed interesting, with its tail biting its head looking like it’s wearing a hat.

“Now it’s really become a giraffe.”

Baimu, who later learned online of Girafarig’s new evolution, felt that Farigiraf must be a product of the ninth generation since he didn’t get to play Scarlet & Violet.

He turned his gaze to other battle grounds.

It seems the 4:1 stimulation got to them, with the youth trainers from Silicon City commanding aggressively, pressing hard on Pyrite Arena’s side.

To Baimu’s surprise, even Ying Ma was falling behind.

Inside the arena.

A Scizor agilely dodged the Vine Whip slashing from Venusaur, crossing and slashing its massive pincers to transform into a vivid green Cross Light Blade for a vicious strike.

Bang!

“Hana!”

Venusaur cried out in pain as it slid back several meters.

Quite a remarkable evasion skill!

Baimu looked at Ying Ma’s opponent, the youth called Jin Ge by that arrogant child, estimated to be about thirteen or fourteen, showing a calm and exceedingly confident demeanor.

This battle clearly wasn’t giving him enough pressure.

Ying Ma!

Can you do it!

At least he’s considered an outstanding trainer in the arena, having recently beaten someone he couldn’t before, venting some anger but now being overshadowed in such a short time?

You think you’re the second rider of Masked Rider!

Inside the arena, Ying Ma seemed to sense Baimu’s outer arena frustration, quickly swapped Venusaur out, replacing it with Garchomp for the fight.

In contrast to the earlier slightly distant state, Garchomp now responded to Ying Ma’s command promptly, matching its opponent’s moves.

No doubt.

After a period of effort, the proud Garchomp barely acknowledged Ying Ma.

And Garchomp also lived up to being the Pokémon Baimu picked at first glance, rapidly turning the tables with attribute advantage and superior mobility.

The fierce clash between the two Pokémon gradually erased the calmness on Jin Ge’s face.

Baimu smiled with relief.

Finally, not in vain for getting chased and bitten by Lycanroc.

He turned back to observe Otsuka’s side, after a while, his smile vanished and his brows furrowed.

Things weren’t looking good.

How did it turn into such a momentum swing with so little attention?

Seeing Fude shouting Baton Pass on the field, using High Jump to dodge Donphan’s rolling Poliwrath off the field, Farigiraf stood tall again.

“Rin!”

It braced against Donphan’s roll, bombarding with a Double Beam at close range.

Bang!

Smoke rose.

The superman’s hot sight-like assault broke Donphan’s rolling posture, leaving it looking like a stalled little car showing fatigue.

Yet mere seconds ago, Donphan was in the lead.

Upon hearing from Porygon II, Farigiraf’s first Double Beam missed, yet the second managed to hit, but because of Donphan’s rapid rolling speed and Rock Attribute Energy clinging to its surface, it wasn’t able to deliver appreciable damage.

Realizing Farigiraf didn’t dodge Donphan’s rolling charge, Fude immediately switched tactics.

From active offense to evasive enhancement, after two tricks ended quickly Baton Passed off the field, switching in the water plus Fighting Attribute Poliwrath.

It’s undeniable that the effect from the two tricks was incredibly fierce.

The soaring Special Attack of Poliwrath allowed the Water Cannon to spray columns of water the size of a tank, but unfortunately, it seemed to have lineage with ag’s teacher’s insider Lapras, missing three shots continuously all dodged by Donphan.

No matter how much it tried, it kept missing.

Instead, it got sent flying by the maximized Rolling of Donphan, almost tasting bitter defeat.
