He knows Pokémon better than me.

Onyx's last Pokémon was an old acquaintance of Ash's.

"Gengga gengga~!!"

A large, fat Gengar jumped out, lively and energetic, brandishing its ghostly claws in a show of defiance.

Against such a nimble opponent, the hooded thug's molting clones are practically ineffective.

"Use the True Qi Bomb!"

Marie quickly made a judgment: no matter how strong Gengar is, it is inherently fragile.

Once the distance is closed, a single Hell Thrust from the bandana thug will be enough to decide the outcome.

Shadowball

However, Gengar directly threw out a Shadow Ball, which exploded in mid-air upon impact with the Focus Blast.

Under the cover of smoke and dust, the bandana thug quickly closed the distance, his Hell Spike already ready.

However, the next moment, a dazzling pink light suddenly appeared in the fog.

Not only did it make the hooded thug squint uncomfortably, but the pink light also carried a dangerous aura that sent chills down its spine.

"Gengar Magic Flash!"

As Onio uttered the name of the move, Gengar burst into pink light, even forming a spherical shockwave that instantly dispersed the smoke.

The hooded thug was the first to be hit and was blown away.

Outstanding effect!

Snapped--!
It fell heavily to the ground and became extremely weak in an instant.

"Four times the damage of a counter!"

In the front row of the spectator stands, Ash shook his head. The Fighting + Dark bandana-wielding thug was being completely countered.

It's no longer the era of the old Gengar from Kanto. Many Gengars from other regions like to carry the move Dazzling Gleam, which is very useful.

The fact that the bandana thug wasn't instantly killed shows that Mary has done a good job raising him.

"Come back, you headscarf thug!"

Mary quickly retrieved the tattered headscarf, took a deep breath, and then unleashed her final trump card.

boom!
The red light revealed a tall, humanoid Pokémon with a green fairy-like body and sharp claws, but its body was covered in thick, dark purple fur, making it look extremely fierce and sinister.

The scene is even more bizarre, especially the one where the figure stands in front of a pretty girl!

"The long-haired troll, an evolved form of those security guard bluffers we saw before."

Ash was muttering to himself. He had seen Marnie use it before in Waterloo Town; it was the latter's strongest Pokémon.

Moreover, it also possesses the power of Gigantamax!
"I think Gengar has one too, right?"

Ash, cheer up! Galar battles are all about Dynamaxing, so the most exciting part is at the end!
"Long-haired troll, feign kneeling but actually ramming!"

This Pokémon's signature move was also quite sloppy. Suddenly, Grimmsnarl's legs went weak and it collapsed to the ground, beginning to bow down to Gengar.

When an opponent gets close to investigate, the hairy troll will attack with the spiked hair on the back of its head, with a 100% hit rate.

just
Information about this unique move is no longer obscure knowledge in the Galar region.

"Gengar, use Sludge Bomb!"

Gengar didn't even get close, its 100% accuracy turned into 0%, and it even threw a Venom Bomb at the enemy.

Bah, bang—!
The long-haired troll could only extend its long hair to detonate the sludge bomb prematurely, then it transformed back into a fierce face and stood up, as if its previous disheveled and weak demeanor had nothing to do with it.

Mary blushed and awkwardly turned her head away.
Although this trick is no longer useful in the Galar region, she still can't help but use it every time she releases a hairy troll.

"Sludge bomb."

"Use Light Wall!" On the other side, Gengar kept throwing out poison bombs, while Troll Ragnaros raised its hand and instantly erected a transparent light wall.

The ability, Mischievous Heart, allows the troll to instantly use a status move.

With the damage reduction from the light wall, Mary continued:

"Bodybuilding!"

The sludge bomb landed on the hairy troll and was extremely effective. Even with the damage reduction from the light wall, it still caused considerable damage to the latter.

However, the next moment, the hairy troll raised its arms and roared, its muscles visibly bulging and swelling beneath its thick hair, glowing with an amplifying red light.

"Gengar, use Hypnosis."

On the other side, Onio was still trying to attack, but Mary suddenly recalled the hairy troll.

Then, with a cold expression, he touched the giant wristband on his wrist—

Although the staff member, Night Watcher, gave her a temporary wristband, Mary already had her own.

The Poké Ball immediately expanded, growing to about two and a half basketballs in size.

Mary held it in both hands and threw it out with force.

boom!
The red light fell once more, and the Gigantamax Hairy Troll officially made its appearance!

It has an exaggerated size of more than 30 meters, but its body is unusually tall and slender. Its thick black and purple hair completely covers its body, making it look as if it is wearing stockings all over.

Right off the bat, it unleashes its signature Gigantamax move!
"Use Gigantamax Sandman!!"

Mary's face flushed red, and her voice involuntarily rose.

The Gigantamax Troll roared and raised its arms, unleashing a ribbon-like attack of dark purple energy that flew towards Gengar.

Not only are its Dark-type moves incredibly effective, but they also have a very high chance of putting the opponent to sleep when hit.

Even if Gengar uses Phantom Dancer to escape into another dimension, it cannot dodge the Gigantamax move.

"Use protection!"

Onio's voice grew louder, and Gengar quickly erected a green light barrier, attempting to withstand the attack.

The next moment, Gigantamax Sandman descended and completely enveloped the protective barrier, and a massive burst of Dark-type energy exploded!

Crack!
After a few seconds of stalemate, the barrier shattered like glass, and Gengar in the center was blasted backward, falling to the ground in a disheveled state.

Outstanding effect!

Fortunately, it did not fall asleep and Gengar quickly stood up.

This relieved Onio, who then quickly recalled Gengar.

The girl before them was far stronger than any other ordinary challenger, especially with this trump card—

If he doesn't use the power of Dynamax together, he's no match at all!

Following the same steps, Onio tapped his Maxim Band, causing the Poké Ball in his hand to swell and grow larger. The sudden increase in weight almost caused the Poké Ball to slip from his grasp.

With gritted teeth, Onio struggled to throw the Poké Ball.

boom!
As the red light fell, it was Dynamax Gengar—

"Wait! Is this Gigantamax Gengar?!"

In the front row of the audience, Xiao Zhi unconsciously stood up from his seat.

Gigantamax Gengar is like entering the haunted house of an amusement park castle; Gengar's lower body is completely submerged underground, with only its upper body floating above the ground.

A gaping, blood-red maw connects to another world, with a tongue writhing eerily between them! (End of Chapter)
