Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 615 Groudon: What just happened?
"Vicious! This inherently evil fellow is truly wicked!"

"What kind of man uses such disgusting and despicable methods! If he's so capable, why doesn't he fight Groudon in a real battle!"

"That's absolutely despicable!"

Teacher DaMi was extremely annoyed. He stared wide-eyed at the Mega Gengar, who was using hypnosis on Primal Groudon and kept cursing.

Yes, his stance is firmly on Sakaki's side.

Meanwhile, on the field, the Primal Groudon, whose eyes had regained a glimmer of clarity, fell into a deep sleep once again due to the fluctuations of the hypnosis spell.

Yes, Primal Groudon is asleep again.

Teacher Da Mi's eyes were filled with grief and indignation. How could they do this?!

"Mammon made perfect use of all the abnormal states..."

Daigo completely ignored his silly friend and stared in amazement at the two Pokémon on the field.

If we're just talking about pure power, Mega Gengar is definitely not as good as Primal Groudon, but right now, the situation on the field is completely in Mega Gengar's favor!

Chaos, curse, poison, sleep—one negative status after another appeared on Primal Groudon.

Mega Gengar clearly had the upper hand.

"If Primal Groudon hadn't been unable to paralyze or burn, I even suspect he would have taken care of Primal Groudon as well."

Xiaoyao's bright eyes sparkled; I've learned something!

"Yes, Mammon is really good at fighting."

Daigo exclaimed in admiration, "Putting everything else aside, I think there's probably no one in the world who can use Gengar better than Mammon."

Even Granny Kiku, who is famous for Gengar, is no match for her.

"The original Groudon is now poisoned and cursed, and... it's also being affected by Pain Sharing. If we don't end the battle soon..."

"The original Groudon could really be dragged down and killed."

Steven looked at the Super Gengar on the field; it had just used Pain Relief while Primal Groudon was asleep.

The Normal-type Pain Sharing (sharing pain) is a mechanic-oriented move that combines one's own stamina with the opponent's and then shares it amicably.

Previously, Mega Gengar was grazed by Primal Groudon's Flamethrower and then used Curse, which damaged its own HP, so Mega Gengar was in a very bad state.

But after sharing the pain, it shared its stamina with the original Groudon, and its condition has improved significantly.

On the contrary, Primal Groudon, already afflicted by the curse and poison, now had its pain shared, causing its condition to deteriorate significantly.

At that moment, the sleeping Primal Groudon's face crumpled up, and dark energy began to rise from its body, signaling the arrival of the second curse.

After the curse's corruption ended, strange, deep purple spots reappeared on its body, followed by a wave of highly toxic erosion.

Even in his sleep, Primal Groudon felt the pain in his body.

"Negative statuses keep piling up, this is just too awful!"

"Let me clarify, this is how Ghost-type Trainers are."

"Groudon is just too strong, it's reasonable for the boss to use some tactics."

"Are you sure it's just a tactic upstairs? I'm certain that after this battle, the number of Ghost-type Trainers will definitely increase..."

The audience complained, saying they wanted to see Primal Groudon unleash its legendary power and break through all defenses with sheer force.

but now……

"It seems that Groudon, in its current state, can probably withstand several more rounds of erosion."

On the field, Mammon squinted slightly, resting his chin on his hand and muttering to himself.

He could tell that the curse and poison he had just used had done less damage to Primal Groudon than expected.

In the game, the curse reduces the opponent's HP by a quarter each turn, meaning that the opponent will fall under the curse's influence in a maximum of four turns.

In reality, it's pretty much the same, but the degree of the curse's influence is obviously related to the opponent's strength and the level difference between the two sides.

If it's a Ghost-type Pokémon of average strength, the curse might not even have any effect on Primal Groudon.

Mammon's Mega Gengar is very strong, so its curse can at least work on Primal Groudon, and the corruption of the curse is only slightly less than expected.

"Gengar, Strange Light."

Instead of taking the opportunity to attack, Mammon decisively had Mega Gengar follow up with 'control'.

Primal Groudon possesses immense strength and willpower, and the effects of the hypnosis are likely nearing their end.

Mega Gengar lowered its body slightly, and strange, eerie light drifted down.

Sleep does not affect the use of Strange Light, because the chaos of Strange Light is not considered an abnormal state.

Of course, the difference between reality and games is that abnormal states can be stacked in reality.

In games, burns, paralysis, sleep, etc., cannot be stacked. If an opponent is burned, they cannot be paralyzed or asleep. But in reality, they can be, which is a difference from the game.

However, whether or not they can be stacked doesn't really matter, because Primal Groudon's type is Ground + Fire, and Thunder Wave and Will-O-Wisp are useless against Primal Groudon.

The Primal Groudon, which had just opened its eyes a crack, was once again blinded by the strange light.

It woke up and started spraying sunlight randomly again.

Sakaki: "..."

Giovanni, watching the Primal Groudon begin to 'go crazy' again, finally couldn't help but close his eyes.

He had been silent for a long time because he simply didn't know what to say.

His hand holding the precious ball tensed up involuntarily, a deep-seated frustration welling up inside him that he had to vent.

At that moment, Giovanni felt like cursing—no, more like he really wanted to unleash his three dummies to attack the opponent. But years of self-cultivation told him that this was a public spectacle, the whole world was watching, and he had to stay calm.

Moreover, the culprit was his son, his own son, the son he was proud of.

For the next period of time, the entire Quartz Arena was quiet.

Primal Groudon alternates between chaos and sleep, while curses and poison erode its body.

Finally, with a loud 'boom', the massive body of Primal Groudon crashed heavily to the ground.

It was eventually brought down.

Groudon is unable to battle, Mega Gengar wins!

The referee cautiously entered the arena, observed the situation, and then announced the outcome of the battle.

"Oh my god! Unbelievable! The legendary ancient Pokémon, Primal Groudon, has actually been defeated! Mega Gengar has already defeated all five of Giovanni's Pokémon!"

"Is there really no way to stop it?!"

The sunglasses-wearing host's shocked scream rang loudly in everyone's ears.

The entire stadium erupted in deafening cheers and shouts.

After all, that was the original Groudon!
Gengar! My Superman!
“Hehehe~!”

Super Gengar's mouth stretched almost to the back of its ears as it felt the adoring, fanatical gazes around it.

This showy guy floated up and down, while constantly making kissing motions with his paws, just like a big star.

Mammon couldn't help but smile upon seeing this, though he was also quite pleased.

He defeated Primal Groudon using his starter Pokémon! This is no ordinary high-level legendary Pokémon.

While some tricks were used, they were reasonable and legal tactical methods. As long as we win, that's all that matters, right?

"Mr. Mammon! That's incredible!"

Xiao Zhi's mouth was wide open, and it took him a long time to finally speak out excitedly.

"Gengar is actually this powerful..."

Xiaoxia was deeply shocked; the image of Primal Groudon falling was still replaying in her mind.

"It's mainly because Mammon commanded so well; otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to throw or put Primal Groudon to sleep." Brock shook his head.

"Furthermore, Mega Gengar's Shadow Tag ability is also crucial. Shadow Tag prevents Mr. Giovanni from recalling Groudon normally. Otherwise, he could have recalled Groudon while it was in disarray. Mr. Giovanni still has another Pokémon he can rotate with."

Xiao Gang added that confusion is different from other abnormal states, and recalling the Pokémon into the Poké Ball can calm it down inside.

So if Giovanni could have taken back Primal Groudon when it was in a state of confusion, Primal Groudon wouldn't have been killed by the constant alternation between confusion and sleep.

The Shadow Step ability is truly disgusting.

"Moreover... Mr. Mammon's Super Gengar is very powerful and of a high level. Otherwise, other Super Gengars probably wouldn't be able to achieve the same effect as Mr. Mammon."

Then Xiao Gang hesitated for a moment before saying this.

He felt that his observation and analysis were correct, because it was obvious that the two negative statuses of Super Gengar's Curse and Toxic were not as effective on Primal Groudon as they were under normal circumstances.

This also shows that the original Groudon had an extremely good physique, so much so that the effects of the curse and poison were only average.

This is still Mammon's Super Gengar. If other Super Gengars were to use negative status effects, the effect would probably be even worse.

In Pokémon battles, the effectiveness of special moves is ultimately influenced by the Pokémon's own strength.

On the field.

Giovanni recalled Groudon, stared at the Valuable Ball in his hand for a long time, and then looked up at Mammon on the other side.

He truly hadn't expected that Mammon would defeat his Primal Groudon with just a Mega Gengar.

This kind of thing...

Even Sakaki hadn't expected this at all before the battle began.

He was the one who found this Gengar and gave it to Mammon as his starter Pokémon.

And now, it has actually grown to this point.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a muffled sound rang in Giovanni's mind. It was Primal Groudon, it had woken up.

"My body hurts so much, and I can't exert any strength. What's going on? How did I get back into my Poké Ball? Giovanni, did you recall me?"

"It can't fly," it said, bewildered, clearly unaware of what had happened.

Yes, because apart from the beginning, it seamlessly transitions between states of confusion and sleep, and is constantly in a state of unconsciousness.

So it really doesn't know what the current situation is.

Sakaki: "..."

"Weren't you going to fight your son? Sakaki, I'm going to fight the fathead fish! But I need to rest for a bit, it's strange, why do I feel so weak..."

Sakaki: "..."

"Hey? Sakaki, can you hear me? Why aren't you saying anything?"

The Pokémon in the Poké Ball, unable to fly, scratched its head, utterly puzzled.

"It's alright, Groudon, you can go back to sleep. We'll be done soon."
