Sure enough, less than two seconds after Lin Guang finished speaking, Gloom woke up.
Seeing that Gloom was all right, Erika happily hugged Gloom. "Gloom, thank goodness you're okay!"
Afterward, Erika exchanged a friendly, formal handshake with Lin Guang and handed him the Rainbow Badge she was holding.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin Guang. This is the Rainbow Badge you've earned."
The moment the Rainbow Badge reached his hand, the system's voice rang out in Lin Guang's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host on obtaining the Rainbow Badge. Reward: resilience of all Pokémon under the host increased by 20%.]
The increase in resilience strengthened the Pokémon's resistance to status conditions such as poison, confusion, and paralysis.
Lin Guang strongly suspected that this increase in resilience had come from Charmeleon enduring Gloom's stench, and it had even applied to all his Pokémon.
At that thought, Lin Guang silently thanked Charmeleon.
Afterward, because Miss Erika's Pokémon needed to be sent for treatment, everyone stayed and listened to Miss Erika tell the story of her past with Gloom.
The next day, Mio Takamiya began her challenge at the Celadon Gym.
Miss Erika once again fielded Tangela, Weepinbell, and Gloom. Mio Takamiya had only three Pokémon, one of which was Horsea, who could not battle.
But this was no problem for Mio Takamiya. She sent out Pikachu first and defeated Tangela and Weepinbell in succession. Finally, when Miss Erika sent out Gloom, Mio Takamiya sent out Pidgeotto.
As a result, Gloom's stench attack was completely ineffective, and Mio Takamiya's Pidgeotto evolved straight into Pidgeot after winning the match.
Mio Takamiya obtained the Rainbow Badge, and the system's reward followed.
