An instant knockout!
Weavile lay unconscious in a shallow crater.
Silver was stunned.
He had absolute confidence in his own strength. Otherwise, he would never have chased after Baimu and openly challenged him.
But...
"Heh-heh-heh!"
Shiny Gengar planted its hands on its hips, looking smug.
It had taken so many beatings in practice lately that picking on a weaker opponent gave it a long-forgotten taste of what it felt like to be strong.
Baimu looked away from Weavile. "You've got two left. Want to keep going? You can stop if you're scared."
"Who's scared?"
Even in his flustered state, Silver refused to back down. He recalled Weavile, drew a deep breath, and threw another Poké Ball.

White light touched down.
"Feraligatr!"
A huge blue crocodile appeared, like a prehistoric tyrannosaur, with jagged red fins on its head, back, and tail.

A behemoth more than two meters tall.
Its already fearsome appearance looked even more savage under cover of night. Anyone who saw it unprepared might have been scared out of their wits.
"Crunch!"
Silver shouted, his focus razor-sharp.
Feraligatr growled in response, crouched low, and drove its powerful hind legs against the ground.

But just as he expected Gengar to vanish mysteriously as it had before, using the darkness to hide and wait for an opening—
Feraligatr's jaws, wreathed in black energy, clamped squarely onto that grinning face!
Boom!
Dark light erupted, and smoke
