The dicham’s yoga pose was ghostly.
Not only did it soar into the air like a great roc, but as it retreated, it left behind streaks of luminous blue afterimages, which looked quite mystical.
"Grab it! Use Body Freeze Technique!"
Baimu certainly wouldn’t let it leave just like that.
The Galarian Corsola, eager to finish and go ho early, also wouldn’t allow the prey to escape from its grasp. Its eyes glead with eerie blue light, surging toward dicham.
The latter imdiately froze mid-air, as if soone had pressed pause.
"Break free! Don’t let the tide affect you!"
Fujishu shouted loudly, "Sync with its wave motion! Rise and fall, rise and fall—"
Under his guidance, dicham’s body shook violently, vigorously resisting the Galarian Corsola’s hold. The curse’s power erged from its shadow, continually seeping into it and sapping its strength.
Its breath seed to be weakening.
Everything seed to be going well, but Baimu sensed sothing was off.
Why is the light getting brighter?
He quickly looked down at the Galarian Corsola, whose slight trembling imdiately made him realize how intense dicham’s resistance truly was.
Sothing’s wrong!
"—hide in the Tide Spin!"
As soon as he spoke, dicham in the air emitted a brilliant light, its body glowing dazzlingly, making it impossible to look at directly. Its legs folded in a ditative stance as it floated in the air.
With each breath, terrifying Spiritual Power spread to the half-subrged Galarian Corsola in the Tide Spin.
Whoosh—
The turquoise water vortex quietly vanished, as if wiped away by an invisible giant hand, exposing the round Galarian Corsola. Seeing dicham bursting with divine light, the Corsola, usually stuck in a long-term slump, appeared a bit panicked.
Baimu was also slightly panicked.
Isn’t it usually the challenger’s Pokémon that goes into Burst Seed mode during a Gym Battle, not the Gym Leader’s?
But thinking back to the battle against Ash Ketchum, when Fujishu’s Makuhita evolved, and recalling past encounters, how often had he seen opponents burst into such power unexpectedly?
Baimu’s mindset instantly steadied. He knew that regardless of how strong dicham beca after bursting, he just had to tackle whatever ca his way.
"Don’t panic! It can’t hurt you!"
The priority was to stabilize the Galarian Corsola’s state. This kind of sudden situation might be rare for it; if it wasn’t stabilized, they’d be finished.
"To see if you can break through a tidal wave, you have to try!" Hearing his words, Fujishu chuckled, "Mind Head Hamr!"
"Chirp!"
Looking like a light bulb, dicham clasped its hands together, nodding its head and arms towards the Galarian Corsola, while the spiritual power gathered on its forehead ford a blue vortex, seemingly twisting the space itself.
"Gurgle..."
The frightening aura made the Galarian Corsola a bit timid.
"Don’t be afraid! You can do it! Show the resilience you used against Aggron!" Baimu shouted again, "Trust !! Absorption Power!!"
The Galarian Corsola echoed its trainer’s shout, the resolve contained within the words burning like a fla, giving it courage.
The corners of its drooping mouth suddenly tightened into a straight line, and its eyes turned resolute.
"Gurgle!"
It forcefully extended its smoke-like branches. The four tendrils on its back shattered instantly, transforming into a dense fog that enveloped the approaching dicham!
Whoosh!
dicham charged into the mist without hesitation, skillfully flipping upside down entirely, like a heavy hamr, and slamd down fiercely towards the Galarian Corsola.
The massive force instantly drove it into the ground!
Bang!
The ground shook violently.
Rubble flew, and thick smoke billowed.
The arena fell into a dead silence, and no sound could be heard.
Fujishu confidently folded his arms, appearing certain that dicham had defeated the Galarian Corsola, "Even the most stubborn waves will eventually break!"
"...You’re right." Baimu, calm within, spoke steadily and powerfully, "But the Galarian Corsola isn’t a wave, it’s a reef, a steadfast underwater reef! Misfortune Never Cos Alone!"
As soon as the words were spoken.
In an instant.
A pair of bright red eyes glead from the smoke, followed by countless deep blue rings expanding outward, dispersing the smoke while also blasting dicham away!
"It still had so strength in reserve? Was my judgnt off?"
Fujishu was shocked, "Strong ntal Will!"
"Chirp!"
With the light dimming on its body, dicham clasped its hands once more, and invisible energy spread outward.
But unexpectedly, with half its body buried in the ground, the Galarian Corsola suddenly lifted its head, a dark purple sphere, larger than its own body, rapidly ford on it. The compressed energy vibrated intensely and shot towards dicham at high speed!
Whoosh—
The wind howled sharply.
dicham’s face changed dramatically, its Spiritual Power was easily disrupted by the Shadow Ball!
"Did it grasp a new move? It can be accomplished if it wants to!"
Baimu showed a delighted expression.
Fujishu shouted loudly, "Quick, dodge!"
But dicham couldn’t dodge in ti and was hit squarely by the Shadow Ball.
Bang!
The Ghost Attribute Energy exploded, stirring up plus of smoke.
Soon after, dicham erged from the smoke, seemingly having endured the Shadow Ball, but after spinning around once, it collapsed unconscious.
Xiaoren imdiately raised the flag upon seeing this.
"dicham has lost the battle capability, the Sun... uh, Galarian Corsola wins!"
She shouted, then noticed that the Galarian Corsola was also half-buried in the ground with dazed eyes.
"Galarian Corsola has lost the battle capability!"
It seed like they ended up taking each other out.
Baimu walked into the arena sowhat helplessly, patted the fainted Galarian Corsola, "You’ve already tried your best, thank you."
Just about to recall it into the Pokeball, he inadvertently noticed tiny cracks on its shell.
He suddenly realized.
So that’s it, dicham’s Mind Head Hamr had hit a critical point, and the changes in both its abilities—the physical defense increased by Iron Wall and Primordial Power, and the physical attack decreased by Absorption Power—had all been ignored by that attack.
The Yoga Power... this Trait is really impressive.
On the other side.
Fujishu recalled dicham, and seeing Baimu back in position, he couldn’t help but clap his hands, "Splendid! Your Galarian Corsola has proven with action that it’s indeed a reef, not a tidal wave.
"Then the next one, I wonder if your remaining reef can withstand it!"
He suddenly threw a Pokeball.
Bang!
A flash of white light,
The ground trembled slightly, and a massive, two-ter-tall Hariyama landed.
"Yama!"
Hariyama let out a deep call, sounding like the voice of a mountain.
Seeing this, Baimu threw out a Pokeball.
Bang!
"Roar!!"
A thunderous roar sounded, the silver beast landed heavily, kicking up dust as it revealed its fierce expression.
Fujishu was initially taken aback but then chuckled, "I didn’t expect you’d choose Aggron."
"Because it’s my trump card, at such a decisive mont, I naturally have to rely on the one I trust most."
Baimu responded with a smile.
Though four tis weaker against Fighting Attributes, his long-standing experiences assured him that Aggron would not let him down.
