Go! Greenman
"Greenman vs. Giringa"
Giringa was the twenty-ninth monster to battle Greenman. It was created by Tonchiki in an attempt to retrieve the blood of children for Maoh. Giringa and its creator teleported near a bush to hide and wait for a child to pass by. Sure enough, a child walked past the bush and Giringa chased the little boy. The kid managed to dodge out of the way every time Giringa tried to grab him and called for Greenman with his Green Call. Greenman then descended from space and did battle with the monster. Tonchiki saw that Giringa was losing, and cast a spell to make it grow larger. Greenman also grew to continue battling. Eventually, Greenman defeated Giringa.
