He knows Pokémon better than me.

Even with the speed increase, Tokiku is still in the slowest range.

Sizzle! Bang!
Caught off guard, the aura wheel struck head-on, instantly triggering a violent electric explosion.

Outstanding effect!

With a single blow, Tokiku was slammed to the ground, seemingly deciding the outcome on the spot.

The entire stadium erupted in cheers and applause, with cheerleaders scattered throughout guiding the audience and making the sounds even more unified and enthusiastic.

However, Mary's expression did not soften much.

Popura's trump card should be a Togekiss. This Togekiss is just a test, and defeating it is nothing special.

And the opponent's second Pokémon.

boom!
As the red light fell, this time a charcoal-black double-barreled gas cannon appeared, its face covered by a green mist that resembled eyebrows and a mustache.

"Is the second one Galar's Double Gas?"

Mary scanned the surroundings and found no pink fog, proving that it was not a characteristic of the fog maker.

"Double gas, use poison darts!"

The battle resumed, and Popira's expression became much more serious. After all, she wanted to let Peter experience the charm of the Fairy type in today's gym battle.

shhhhhh!
Several purple poisonous stingers shot out from the holes in the double-barreled gas, falling into the ground and covering the ground with a dangerous purple aura.

"Aura Wheel!"

Morpeko still gathered blue lightning wheels and charged out.

"Aromatic mist!"

The two heads of the dual-gas tank opened their mouths wide simultaneously, spewing out pink mist—

This move can raise your Pokémon's Special Defense, and of course, it can also be used to obscure vision.

After missing his first aura attack, Morbee landed and quickly looked around.

It was just a thin mist, not a thick, dark fog. With a little observation, one could still see the outer area, where a dark figure was constantly spewing out mist.

"Moreu!!"

Morubek unleashed its electric hamster wheel again and charged forward.

However, the double-barreled gas was already prepared. Suddenly, it turned its head, puffed out its cheeks, and aimed at Morbeco.

"Now's the time, magical steam!"

Popella spoke slowly.

In an instant, the double-barreled gas spewed out a cloud of light pink mist. The mist suddenly accelerated along the way, forming a shockwave that prematurely detonated Morbeco, which was rushing halfway through its journey.

Boom——! !

The aura wheel exploded, and electric currents burst forth and flowed in all directions, instantly dispersing the surrounding mist.

"Moru."

Once on the ground, Morubek walked unsteadily and couldn't distinguish between north and south mung beans.

"Magic steam?"

In the audience, Xiao Zhi muttered to himself.

He had seen this move before from his Alola friend; it was Galar's signature move, Double Weezing.

It has the Fairy attribute, and its power is similar to that of the Moon Power. Moreover, after hitting the target, there is a chance to put the opponent into a confused state, which is quite useful in battle.

While Morubek was in disarray and unable to follow orders, the Double Gas had already puffed out its cheeks and was charging up its power again.

"Magic Steam!"

The light pink shockwave blasted out again, blasting Morpeko away and sending him crashing down in front of Mari, rendered unable to fight.

"Hmph, so-so."

Behind him, Peter turned his head and snorted coldly, but his eyes were still fixed on the battle, completely absorbed in it. The girl opposite him was definitely not weak; this old woman who kept shouting "pink power" was a lunatic, but she was indeed skilled in Pokémon battles.

"A fairy-attribute gym leader?"

He couldn't help but think of what Popira had been asking him to do these past few days, including switching from his preferred superpower attribute to the fairy attribute.

However, his Pokémon team already overlapped significantly with the Fairy type, including Galar Ponyta and Bluegill.
It seems like it's not impossible to switch?
"No! I still need to collect enough Wishing Stars for Mr. Rose! Only the best trainer like me can accomplish this great task!"

Peter suddenly patted his cheeks, trying to cheer himself up.

I almost got brainwashed by this old woman!

We still need to find a chance to escape!

The battle continues on the field.

Marie's second Pokémon is Grimmsnarl, which is also a Fairy-type Pokémon and a Durable Pokémon.

Because it's a poison spike field, the long-haired troll is poisoned as soon as it appears.

then
Smack smack—!
The long-haired troll swallowed the prepared wood berries in one gulp, immediately curing its poisoning.

After all, durable long-haired trolls are not afraid of anything except abnormal statuses, which is why Mary usually carries these items for them.

"Not bad, little girl. Then try blocking this attack, magical steam~!"

Popella gave her an admiring look and then launched an attack.

"Long-haired troll, use Light Wall!"

Faced with the pink shockwave that the opponent unleashed again, the long-haired troll immediately erected a transparent light wall in front of him to reduce the damage.

"Soul shock!"

Then, he slapped his palm forward, unleashing his signature move: countless pink streaks of light shot out, striking the face of the Double Gas.

Although it didn't deal much damage, Soul Impact can reduce the target's special attack.

"Double Gas, use the spinning top ball!"

Faced with the opponent's physical attack, the long-haired troll also had a countermeasure, once again erecting a light screen.

"Reflective wall!"

This time, it was a wall that resisted physical attacks, instantly weakening the spinning top's offensive by more than half.

Dragging the situation into a protracted war, it suddenly entered the territory that the long-haired trolls excelled at.

He unleashed a barrage of attacks, including will-o'-the-wisps and electromagnetic waves, and even jumped up to grab the double-barreled gas canisters, giving them a sharp kiss on the back of the head.

The kiss of absorption!

It's important to know that the Fairy attribute doesn't do much damage to Double Gas; its main purpose is to inflict continuous torment.

Of course, it's also mental torture for the audience—

Both of these Pokémon have an "unusual" or "grotesque" appearance, and at this moment, a long-haired Grimmsnarl is hugging and kissing a Weezing, with cute pink heart effects appearing around it.
It's a bit eye-catching!
Popella was the only exception.

"Oh~ What a lovely scene~!"

Her eyes lit up, especially since both Pokémon on the field were Fairy-type.

If she weren't worried that some children in the audience might not be able to handle it, she would have already directed the Double Gas to kiss them back with a kiss of absorption.

"End the fight! Use Hell Strike!"

Finally, the long-haired troll brought its hands together, coated them with a sharp black light, and slammed them into the face of Weezing, knocking the Pokémon down in front of Popura, thus determining the winner.

However, after the battle, the hairy troll was also exhausted. It was a huge test for both sides to fight hand-to-hand.

"Come back first."

Seeing this, Mary stopped letting the hairy troll fight and put it away, then took out a deluxe ball.

On the other side, Popira also retrieved her double-bottle gas, holding a pink heart-shaped ball in her hand, ready to throw it! (End of Chapter)
