Eviolite Squad

The first two questions hadn't been particularly difficult.

Baimu understood that the real difficulty definitely wasn't in the opening questions. More challenging ones were surely waiting for him later.

Then, the third question appeared.

He stared speechlessly at the question. As though they were deliberately teasing him, Ditto summoned two black-and-white Gastrodon from thin air. They had slight differences in appearance.

He hadn't expected Dr. Akihabara to hit him with a Psyshock on only the third question.

So there were five colors in total—

Wait.

Did their eyes and eye sockets count as colors too?

Baimu looked at Porygon, and Porygon looked back at him. They stared at each other wide-eyed.

Fortunately, he got it right.

When the large green circle appeared, Baimu heaved a sigh of relief. He was truly curious whether the prize was Porygon, so he really wanted to clear
