After scanning the rubble, Archie was the first to spot the Blue Orb.
To his wild delight, the Blue Orb was clearly closer to him, seemingly just a few steps within reach!
Grinning viciously, he strode forward, then bent down to grab it. But just as his hand touched it, the Orbs flew up on their own, to his astonishment!
What!?
He looked up and saw a Gengar suddenly appear in midair. Clearly, it had just picked up the Orbs!
"Hehehehe, this shiny rock is mine!" Gengar laughed, flying back to Xia You with the Orbs in his hands.
"Damn it!!"
Archie roared in fury, then brandished a Poké Ball, and a Muk appeared before Xia You.
Before Xia You could even make out what he had sent out, an unbearable stench hit him, so pungent that even his eyes stung and ached!
Only after coughing several times did he turn his attention to the Muk.
There had always been a popular saying that the more pungent a Muk's stench was, the stronger it was.
Though this was only a rumor with no scientific proof, Xia You now knew there might actually be something to it. After all, Archie's Muk stank far too much!
It was practically the smelliest Muk he had ever encountered!
"Muk, use Sludge Bomb!!"
Muk reached into its body and pulled a cloudy purple mass out of somewhere, then hurled it straight at Xia You's head!
But Gengar blocked all its attacks with Shadow Ball.
The Shadow Ball struck the cloudy mass and exploded, sending countless unidentified bits and splashes of liquid scattering in every direction like a shower of flowers.
Seizing the opportunity, Xia You hurriedly backed away.
Just as Archie was about to continue his pursuit, a deep, whale-like cry suddenly echoed through the
