He knows Pokémon better than me.

In contrast to Doronchi's situation, Daruma's acquisition of psychic powers has made things quite difficult for Farfetch'd.

Whenever it was about to make a move, supernatural power would envelop it, and the immense and profound mental force would compress it, causing its brows to furrow.

The effect is outstanding!

"Onion-ga—!!"

Each time he was bound, Onion Soldiers could only wildly swing their black and red Onion Spears to forcibly break free from the psychic restraints.

Although it cannot switch attributes like Cinderace, it is immune to psychic powers.

However, by wielding the scallion spear with wide, sweeping movements and unleashing the evil-attribute Frenzy of Strikes, it was possible to barely break through the supernatural power.

However, faced with the successive mental hammers, even the Bodhidharma baboon leaped high like a gourd, only to be crushed down by Mount Tai.

Cong Youbing was highly focused, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Facing two opponents alone, the pressure increased instantly.

"Piccoo~!"

Seeing this, the high-spirited Victini immediately raised his finger to share his victory.

Bathed in orange light, the Onion Soldier's aura instantly surged, and its body and wings visibly bulged with muscles, as if it had used a bodybuilding technique.

The black and red scallion spear he swung collided with the charging Dharma baboon, sweeping it back head-on.

At that moment, a shadow fell from above, and the Bodhidharma statue overhead was rapidly descending.

"Congga!"

Onion Soldier's eyes gleamed as he used his ability to see through obstacles and sidestep to avoid the crushing blow.

Then came the wildly swung scallion spear, which smashed down on the Bodhidharma statue.

Clang!

The force was so great that it sent the 200kg Bodhidharma statue flying.

The effect is outstanding!

The scallion soldier immediately raised his head, held his scallion spear high, and looked solemn and proud.

Forget about victory or defeat for now; this is the kind of battle scene it should have!

As for the final armored dragon—

Placed alongside the two Bodhidharma statues, it doesn't seem out of place at all; it's as if it has become a desert statue as well.

Even the moves they used were very similar!
One of the baboons used its mind hammer, while the armored dragon used its iron head. They rammed their thick skulls into each other, creating a loud explosion.

However, at this moment, the Shellder Dragon is also blessed with the power of victory, making it superior in both shell hardness and physical attack strength.

Click!

The skulls collided, and faintly, one could hear the sound of rocks cracking.

The armored dragon smashed the Daruma baboon statue into the air and sent it flying.

As for the other Dharma baboon's supernatural power, it attempted to use telekinesis to capture the armored dragon—

Don't forget, this is an Ancient species Armored Dragon. When it evolves to its second stage, its type changes from pure Dragon to Dragon + Dark.

Completely ineffective!

"Shell Roar—!!"

It even opened its mouth, and the armored dragon directly spewed out a beam of energy shockwave composed of countless overlapping black halos, which quickly burst out and exploded on the body of the Dharma baboon.

Evil Wave!

The effect is outstanding!

In terms of attributes, it is actually the one that counters the Daruma baboon!
"It feels pretty good. It's a pity it can't evolve yet." Ash was also paying close attention to the battlefield and shook his head regretfully.

Whether it was because its level was too low or the combined strength of the two Daruma baboons wasn't enough, the Armored Dragon showed no sign of evolving.

It won't evolve into its final form, capable of soaring through the air, in the short term.

These nine baboons, who have been practicing asceticism in the desert, all have quite good endurance.

Even as Ash's four Pokémon launched a series of fierce attacks, Victini, in particular, acted arbitrarily, readily sharing its winning power wherever it saw a need for help—

This is a positive cycle: it gains "Victory Spirit" from other Pokémon and then transforms it into "Victory Power" to feed back to them. If balanced well, it can achieve perpetual motion.

Even so, the four Pokémon fought for a full 20 minutes, and Darmanitan fell one after another.

After nearly 30 minutes, all nine baboons were finally unable to fight and turned into limp, brown-haired gorillas lying haphazardly in the desert.

Cinderace and other Pokémon were panting on the spot. Cinderace and Dragapult were in slightly better condition, while Sirfetch'd and Shellder appeared to be more exhausted.

"Damn it. If only Team Plasma could have all of these Daruma baboons."

Jero watched helplessly as these high-quality Daruma baboons fell, unable to subdue them, his heart bleeding.

Does this kid even know how to play Pokémon? He doesn't seem to be trying to catch any at all!

Wait, no, this kid actually knows how to have fun.
This made him even more frustrated!
Beside him, Quixote even closed his eyes, already contemplating his next escape.

On the other side, Ash had no idea what the two were thinking. He took the Acromant from Pikachu and pressed the power button.

The nine fallen baboons shuddered, releasing the "forced combat" signal and regaining their consciousness.

Why did we even come over here?

As stone statues guarding the desert ruins, they only attack the main entrance of the ruins. Explorers who walk through them will never be able to cross the ruins and attack targets behind them.

"Your manners are truly excellent."

Seeing the baboons half-lying on the ground, unable to get up yet, but rubbing their heads in a daze, it was clear they were recovering their strength quickly.

It's not a big problem. Once they've recovered most of their strength, these baboons will probably go back on their own and turn back into stone statues to begin their meditation and ascetic practices.

He hadn't considered taming a Daruma baboon, since Galar already had enough.

Then Ash picked up another Acromant on the stone platform next to him.

"Bick~?"

Victini curiously leaned its head closer; it was this thing that had attracted it.

Seeing this, Ash casually tossed it to Victini as a toy.

Mr. Akromah was way ahead of his time!
Although he has left the plasma team, he is estimated to have left behind a lot of advanced mechanical equipment.

You must make a phone call to inform the latter that it would be best to either take away or destroy the equipment you previously left with the plasma team.

Otherwise, one day, these remnants of the Plasma Team might dig it up and use it again.

The key issue is that it doesn't resemble Hitler's inventions; the machines he invented would most likely explode.
These Akroma machines are truly stable and practical.

The timing was perfect. Just then, a commotion arose from behind, along with occasional barking from dogs, the sounds gradually growing louder.

Before long, seven or eight Officer Jennys rushed over; it wasn't a good place to drive.

Each of them was also accompanied by their own police dog.

The second phase of Hayok, or the final form of the long-haired dog, surrounds this place.

Upon hearing this, Jero's face darkened, revealing a look of despair that indicated everything was over.

On the contrary, Quixote kept his eyes closed, looking completely calm, as if he was giving up entirely! (End of Chapter)
