A large amount of flames engulfed Blaziken and Gengar.
Blaziken was indeed struck by the Confuse Ray and fell into an abnormal state. Unfortunately, Blaziken was not completely unprepared for the Confuse Ray, and he had undergone special training to adapt to it during his regular training.
Now that Gengar's hands are held by Blaziken, he really has no chance to dodge.
He raised his foot, which was wreathed in golden flames, and kicked Gengar hard in the face.
Thud—
Gengar was kicked away, tracing a beautiful arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, rendering him unable to fight.
However, after kicking out, a purple area appeared on Blaziken's body. After this purple area appeared, Blaziken subconsciously frowned and even closed one eye, as if he was enduring some unbearable pain.
The Toxic that Gengar threw at Blaziken before losing his fighting ability The Energy Ball begins to work.
Moreover, Koga, who was already more skilled in using poison, had a Gengar whose mastery of Poison-type energy was certainly not simple. So even though it was only the first time it had taken effect, Blaziken was already feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Koga used Poké Ball to take back Gengar. Although Blaziken was hit by Toxic, the current situation is clearly more disadvantageous for his side.
Blaziken still has the ability to fight, but he lost a Pokémon, and the Venomoth that was summoned at the beginning also suffered a great loss of stamina.
If just one Blaziken put him at a disadvantage, then the effectiveness of the Pokémon summoned below is crucial.
After all, Blaziken was only affected by Toxic, but that doesn't mean he lost his fighting ability. The fighting power that a Blaziken can unleash after using Swords Dance three times is not to be easily ignored.
After a slight hesitation, Koga took out another Poké Ball and threw it directly onto the field.
"Gurgle—"
A dark blue Pokémon appeared in the arena, with two yellow eyes, a red vocal cord on its chin, and only three fingers on each hand.
Its legs are muscular. It has three toes, a red middle toe on each foot, and a sharp spike extending from its heel.

Champion Level Toxicroak!
Upon seeing Toxicroak's data, Aoki raised an eyebrow slightly.
It seems Koga is getting serious. Toxicroak's position in his team is likely to be the same as Blaziken's role in Aoki's team.
This Toxicroak's characteristic is its poisonous hands, which perfectly matches Koga's fighting style and personality.
The Poison Point ability can poison an opponent through physical contact.
Koga's Poison -type Pokémon poisoning can easily lead to toxic infections.
However, Blaziken is currently in a state of medium Toxic, so no matter how hard Toxicroak tries, it won't provide much of a boost.
But when Aoki saw Toxicroak's Swords Dance skill, she roughly understood what he meant.
" Blaziken, your opponent is strong! Just the kind of opponent you wanted to face. Fight to your heart's content!" Aoki said to Blaziken through Telepathy.
Upon hearing this, Blaziken's eyes lit up. Ignoring the poison in his body, he slowly stood up and stared sharply at Toxicroak.
Although Toxicroak's expression remained unchanged, his yellow eyes were indifferent and devoid of any emotion, as a Champion Level... Pokémon's momentum, however, has surged.
Champion Level Pokémon! The backstage staff, the host enthusiastically introduced Koga's Toxicroak.
After all, today's challenges are more about allowing the newly appointed Elites of the Johto region to demonstrate their strength and spirit, and ideally gain everyone's recognition.
Now that Koga has summoned a Champion Level Pokémon, of course he has to make a big fuss about it.
"Holy crap!!!"
"Gurgle—"
Blaziken and Toxicroak exchanged another glance and charged at each other.
They all have fighting-type energy, and their physical fitness and mobility are unparalleled.
Toxicroak is indeed much stronger than Blaziken in terms of raw power, after all, one is a Champion-level Pokémon while the other is a Quasi-Champion- level Pokémon.
However, Blaziken used Swords Dance three times, plus the Speed Boost Ability, so in terms of speed and attack power alone, he was not much inferior to Toxicroak.
BOOM!!!
Blaziken's flaming fist clashed with Toxicroak's purple-clad fist.
Between their clashing fists, a large plume of black smoke rose, a result of the toxins coming into contact with the flames.
After colliding, they immediately separated due to the reaction force, and the two Pokémon retreated one after another.
Blaziken's fighting spirit and excitement grew stronger, and Toxicroak's unchanging gaze finally showed a hint of emotion.
As soon as they landed and stood firm, the two Pokémon collided again at top speed, fists clashing and feet meeting.
The battle revealed that Toxicroak's fighting style and tactics were no less impressive than Blaziken's, and in terms of skill and energy control, he was in no way inferior to the tribe.
Toxicroak is like a ninja devoid of emotion; every joint in his body can become a weapon, which is likely the result of Koga's regular training.
But Koga's surprise was clearly greater.
Previously, Blaziken had not directly clashed with Venomoth and Gengar, so Koga was unaware that Blaziken possessed skills comparable to Toxicroak.
You should know that he is a ninja, and he is Toxicroak who has been trained according to the training requirements of ninjas.
In his usual assassinations,
Toxicroak was his accomplice and often the main attacker. Now, this Blaziken was able to clash with him without being at a disadvantage.
When did Aoki develop such a high level of Pokémon skills?
