Sakura, the eldest sister, recalled the unconscious Dewgong, walked over to Lin Guang, and took out a blue, teardrop-shaped badge.
"You won. This Cascade Badge is yours."
The instant Lin Guang accepted the Cascade Badge, the system's voice rang out in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host on obtaining the Cascade Badge. Reward: the self-recovery of all Pokémon currently under the host increased by 30%.]
This was the most direct improvement in ability, yet it was not all that noticeable. It would only show itself in battle.
Lin Guang was quite satisfied with this kind of reward.
"Thank you."
After thanking her, Lin Guang recalled Gyarados and returned to Mio Takamiya and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's side.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was up next. She came to the battlefield. The floating platforms had not been damaged, so there was nothing wrong with the arena, and the next Gym challenge could begin immediately.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki stood on a floating platform and looked toward the Cerulean Three Sisters.
At that moment, Sakura, the eldest sister, said, "My Pokémon can no longer battle. You can choose either of my two younger sisters to challenge."
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki said calmly, "Then I'll challenge her."
With those words, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki chose to challenge Ayame, the second of the Cerulean Three Sisters.
Brimming with confidence, Ayame stepped onto the floating platform, taking Sakura's place. It was still a two-on-two Gym challenge.
"Go! Seel!"
Seel was Dewgong's pre-evolved form. This Pokémon was clearly the one Ayame was using to test Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's strength.
Since Kaguya Ōtsutsuki only had Bulbasaur and Bellsprout, those were the only two Pokémon she could send out.
The first Pokémon Kaguya Ōtsutsuki sent out was naturally Bulbasaur.
After several rounds of battle, Bulbasaur defeated Seel, and Ayame sent out her second Pokémon, Seaking. Bulbasaur severely
