"Maximum power!"
"Got it!"
Bzzzt—!!!
Electricity surged around the Porygon Baton, turning it into something like the thunder god's warhammer as Baimu swung it into Kleavor!

A deafening hum echoed out.
As a Rock- and Bug-type, Kleavor had no resistance to electricity. The current engulfed it instantly.
