Sorry, Lambert, but they don't. Baker may be changed by supernatural forces but his fire is the same as ever, a natural ability, or as natural as one can expect from a Pokemon, anyway. The witcher and his loyal bike will meet the flames in the worst way possible as they ignore the bracers entirely, though they do block Rita from the blast.

It also has the strange perk of immediately distracting Childermass. He'd meant for Baker to attack Rita, not Lambert, and with CY-Ren's influence long since purged, seeing that idiot shove his way into the line of fire has a flicker of panic crossing his face. He grabs for another card, but there isn't enough time to do anything, whatever it is he may have wanted to do.

"Lambert!"

Lambert, you idiot! He would have added the rest, but the loud bang from a bubble jerks his attention away. He floats backward on instinct, away from the sound, and right into another bubble. This one pops on one of his wings, immediately weighing it down with goo rather than letting out an exploding sound. He curses again and falters in the air... All of which gives Rita free rein to interrupt that second card. She zaps it right out of the air, breaking its connection with the central card.
