"Haya!!!"
ga Sceptile gave a light shout. It raised its fist, which crackled with electricity. Thunder Punch!!!
"BANG!!!—"
The Thunder Punch smashed squarely onto Honchkrow's head.
Honchkrow shrieked miserably and plumted toward the ground.
ga Sceptile opened its mouth, and a wave of Dragon-type energy surged out, attacking the falling Honchkrow.
This was to compensate for its significantly weakened Attack stat. A single Thunder Punch might not be enough to finish Honchkrow off, so it followed up with a STAB Dragon Pulse.
Having taken a super-effective Thunder Punch, and now solidly hit by ga Sceptile's STAB Dragon Pulse...
By the ti Honchkrow hit the ground, it had completely lost its ability to battle, its eyes swirling in spirals.
Down in the lounge, the atmosphere among the tropolis Academy team was heavy.
Bai Bai had lost two Pokémon in succession.
In contrast, although its Attack and Special Attack had been significantly lowered, ga Sceptile had not taken any substantial damage from Bai Bai's Pokémon.
However, ga Sceptile's breathing on the field was growing heavier, indicating that its stamina consumption was considerable.
ga Evolution, in the lore of certain versions from his past life, was initially synonymous with the bond between Pokémon and Trainer.
But in later versions, ga Evolution was increasingly described as having severe side effects, where surging power twisted the Pokémon's personality or damaged its body.
For example, ga Scizor was described as risking its body lting from high-temperature energy if it battled in its ga form for too long.
ga Sharpedo would feel intense pain in its ga state.
ga Salance's blood-soaked crescent wings were the product of massive energy twisting and fusing them together, and so on...
Of course, the change in lore in his past life was mainly because the ga Evolution chanic was too unbalanced and couldn't be distributed fairly, leading the officials to gradually abandon it.
In this world, ga Evolution didn't cause harm to the Pokémon itself, sticking to the original setting.
It was the product of the connection between hearts. Only when the Pokémon and Trainer were in sync could the Trainer use the Key Stone to unlock the potential hidden within the ga Stone...
However, ga Evolution still had so minor side effects. These side effects didn't damage the Pokémon's body but rather accelerated stamina consumption.
For a Level 57 Sceptile, still only at the Elite level, simply maintaining the ga state consud a vast amount of stamina, even though Bai Bai's Pokémon hadn't dealt much damage.
No one knew how long Sceptile could maintain its ga Evolution. All everyone could do was pray that Sceptile's stamina would run out quickly.
On the battlefield, Bai Bai took a deep breath and recalled Honchkrow into its Pokéball.
Grabbing another Pokéball, her expression gradually hardened.
"Go!! Krookodile!!!"
Red light flew into the arena. A crimson-skinned crocodile covered in black stripes appeared on the battlefield.
"Krook!!!!—"
After six months of training and growth, the A potential Krookodile had grown from Level 46 to Level 53.
Leveling up by a full 7 levels in six months—if not compared to Kenji—was quite astonishing.
Aside from Krookodile's own hard work, this growth might also be due to the nurturing of Bai Bai's special ability.
Much like Viridian Force, which could help Pokémon level up quickly, boost combat power, heal injuries, and even purify life essence to fundantally enhance aptitude...
Of course, Bai Bai's ability wasn't as broken and versatile. Its main effect was to enhance the combat power of Dark-type Pokémon.
It could also help speed up the leveling of Dark-type Pokémon to a certain extent.
Even so, Krookodile was still 4 levels lower than ga Sceptile. Not to ntion that Grass-type moves were doubly effective against the Ground-type Krookodile.
As soon as Krookodile appeared, questions arose from the audience. They didn't understand why Bai Bai would choose to send out a Pokémon with a type disadvantage as her last resort.
Down below, Kenji wasn't too surprised by Bai Bai's action.
After all, Bai Bai was ruthless enough to reject a Pseudo-Legendary. Sending out her ace Pokémon despite the type disadvantage didn't seem surprising.
On the field, the battle had begun.
"Haya!!!—"
Pale green blades of light sprouted from ga Sceptile's arms. Leaf Blade activated again. ga Sceptile kicked off the ground, charging at Krookodile, still opting for close combat.
Krookodile opened its mouth, spitting out a Dragon Pulse that swept toward ga Sceptile.
ga Sceptile chose not to counter with a move. Instead, it used Quick Attack, easily dodging the sweep of Krookodile's Dragon Pulse and closing in on Krookodile.
It slashed with Leaf Blade.
Simultaneously, Krookodile's claws glowed with dense Dragon-type energy.
Dragon Claw!!!
Dragon Claw clashed with Leaf Blade. On the physical side, after being lowered by two stages, Krookodile truly wasn't much inferior to ga Sceptile.
Spiritomb's nto now proved to be a crucial setup.
ga Sceptile retracted its force and retreated, actively giving ground. But in the next mont, the thick tail behind ga Sceptile whipped up a storm of leaves.
Leaf Storm!!!
A Grass-type move with a massive base power of 130.
The Leaf Blade was a feint! ga Sceptile's real objective was this high-power, close-range Grass-type nuke!
"Krook!!!—"
Krookodile's pupils constricted. It raised its arms to block, instantly activating a pale green barrier.
