Tera Blast

"Manectric, thanks for your hard work. Come back and get some rest."

After recalling Manectric, Bai Shi fell into a brief silence.

Lacey seemed considerably stronger than the average Gym Leader.

He would have to choose his final Pokémon carefully.

"Excadrill's Horn Drill can knock out its target in one hit."

"One slip, and it could take my Pokémon down."

"To be safe, I'll use the Ghost-type Golurk against it!"

After careful consideration, Bai Shi chose Golurk as his final Pokémon.

The Golurk, standing over five meters tall, appeared on the battlefield.

"Isn't that Golurk ridiculously huge?"

At the sight, the Referee on the sidelines could not help crying out.

"It's certainly bigger than an ordinary Golurk, but it isn't cute at all."

"My adorable Pokémon are the strongest."

The spinning reduced the force of Signal Beam.

"Excadrill, use Rock Slide!"

Having weathered the attack, Lacey immediately struck back.

Excadrill brought its arms together, became a massive drill, and shot toward Golurk.

"Golurk, use Protect!"

Calm as ever, Bai Shi called out to Golurk.

A transparent barrier appeared before Golurk and blocked Excadrill's Drill Run.
