Indeed.
Just as Galarian Corsola predicted.
"Recognize!"
"ow!"
Delcatty’s eyes emitted a bright blue glow, and a ring of pale blue light quickly spread outward.
Even though it wasn’t clear what this thing was, intuition told Galarian Corsola that being swept by this light would spell doom in all aspects.
"Hiss—"
It instinctively turned its attention to the Trainer, wondering why it hadn’t received the next command yet.
But soon it discovered.
Baimu was smiling.
"Mysterious Light! Release it from all your holes!"
The command finally arrived, and Galarian Corsola instantly emitted eerie violet light from all the holes on its body.
This kaleidoscope of bizarre light was so dizzying just looking at it, extrely terrifying!
anwhile, the pale blue light had already spread to its vicinity, and the two beams collided but didn’t resist or explode directly; instead, they mixed to form an even more twisted scene.
Delcatty, trying to see through the true form of Galarian Corsola, was instantly affected by the light, losing focus between its pupils, panicking as if blinded.
"ow! ow!"
"Delcatty! Calm down!"
Mann Chong was shocked, suddenly realizing the opponent was waiting for him to have Delcatty use Recognize.
At that mont, Delcatty was fully engaged in detection, diffusing its awareness into every corner, utterly unprotected against the "Flash Grenade" of Mysterious Light, resulting in the move ant to penetrate Galarian Corsola’s technique causing its own confusion.
Has it been too long since the last battle, making its instincts grow dull...
He couldn’t help but clench his fists.
The onlooking tenants showed surprised expressions; Recognize could be countered using such a thod?
At first glance, it seed a bit ridiculous; actually thinking it over, it seed feasible, though timing was crucial—if the opponent discovered, it wouldn’t work as easily.
This person is quite impressive!
anwhile, his cousin Aman, witnessing Mann Chong’s disadvantage, instinctively felt nervous, covering her mouth, not daring to disturb.
"Curse!"
Baimu didn’t care how many storms were brewing in Mann Chong’s heart; he struck when the iron was hot.
The hard-won advantage couldn’t simply be given up.
Galarian Corsola’s red eyes glowed, black and violet smoke seeped from its surface, transforming into a shrieking ghostly figure rushing forward, extrely fast!
Unexpectedly, Mann Chong substituted Delcatty out just in ti,
bringing in a green figure holding blue and red flowers, hair resembling white rose petals, with a face seeming masked.
"It’s up to you! Roserade! Falling Flowers!"
"Rooo~"
The sent-out Roserade’s eyes burned brightly, completely ignoring the nacing ghost charging with a shriek, and raised its arms to unleash a storm of thousands of pink petals like flying snow upon Galarian Corsola!
Whoosh!
The curse just ended, Galarian Corsola had no ti to dodge or defend, directly struck by the storm of petals, its small body flew out of the field!
Seeing the situation turn sour, Baimu attempted to recall it with a red beam but missed helplessly.
The ghostly figure entered Roserade, the head throbbing painfully, but it endured without showing any expression, as if nothing happened.
Having attacked once, the ghost dwelled in its shadow, readying for another attack.
"Such quick reflexes, such strength."
Baimu’s smile froze, eyes following the flying Galarian Corsola; nearly falling into the pool surrounded by small stones, evident of Roserade’s strong technique.
And this wasn’t Flying Leaf Storm, it was the Grass Attribute’s powerful [Falling Flowers].
If it chose this move, it might prove Roserade isn’t a Technical Expert, Poisonous Sting? Natural Recovery?
He looked hopefully at Galarian Corsola, but helplessly saw it already revealing swirly eyes.
Even the Evolutionary Wondrous Stone couldn’t block it...
The level difference was just too great.
Possibly even more than with the previous Porygon and Breloom, and it had just used Curse, its stamina severely depleted without Self-Rebirth, defeated was understandable.
Even competing with Delcatty for so long was due mainly to its Attribute advantage and Mann Chong’s unfamiliarity with Galarian Corsola.
Once Mann Chong attacked, it was exposed completely.
"One hit and..."
"So this front desk guy is that skilled?"
"I’m more interested in his reaction speed; switching Pokémon without hesitating—had he already planned which moves and tactics?"
"Mann Chong is amazing! Mann Chong is amazing!"
The tenants discussed it spiritedly, cousin Aman shouted excitedly, ignoring her image, just a mont before the dominant Galarian Corsola was taken down.
Such rapid changes are precisely the charm of Pokémon battles.
After a brief astonishnt, Mann Chong and Roserade smiled broadly. Regardless of the opponent’s skill level, the joy brought by victory is unchanged.
For Mann Chong, it was a long-lost feeling of exhilaration.
Not far away.
Baimu first sighed helplessly, then grew sowhat excited.
Judging by attack power, prompt judgnt, and reaction, Mann Chong’s strength was genuine, such a formidable training partner was rare.
Hopefully, he won’t leave Verdanturf Town for the foreseeable future.
Better yet, willing to accept frequent challenges from him.
