Toxic Smoke Badge

"I got careless. I forgot it could do that."

After Zangoose went down, regret showed on Bai Shi's face.

But the match was still underway, and he had no time to dwell on it.

His first priority was to give everything he had to defeat Roxie's last Pokémon.

He could reflect on his mistake after the match.

"Staraptor, you're up!"

Bai Shi recalled the unconscious Zangoose and sent Staraptor onto the field.

He still had two Pokémon left, so the match remained in his favor.

As long as he played steadily, he was sure to win.

"Star!"

"That Staraptor has some spirit!" Roxie said with interest.

Bai Shi stayed composed as he gave the order.

With a beat of his wings, Staraptor darted through the air and dodged Garbodor's attack again.

"Garbodor, use Poison Gas!"

Roxie pressed the attack.

Pungent, dark-purple gas seeped from Garbodor's white, tube-like fingers and drifted toward
