Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile!

Chapter 98: A Battle Between Trainers! Psychic Boost vs. Aura Fusion!

Alakazam's series of actions were not directed by Sabrina. Apart from the initial Teleport, all the subsequent skills used by Alakazam were used by Alakazam itself.

The moment Alakazam saw Gengar transform into Tyranitar, it used a Grass-type Energy Ball, clearly having anticipated Gengar's move.

But this could not possibly have been done by a single Alakazam Pokémon; Sabrina's instructions must have been involved.

As a powerful trainer like Sabrina, there wouldn't be any instances of Pokémon disobeying commands or randomly changing moves to attack. Therefore, Alakazam's attack must have been guided by Sabrina's instructions.

But since Sabrina didn't say anything, there's only one answer... Sabrina used telepathy!

"The Pokémon are troublesome, and the trainers are troublesome too. This gym is really difficult to manage!" Ash exclaimed, while his Aura power was also activated.

To be honest, you opened it first!
"Gengar, you're provoking me!"

The most troublesome thing about Psychic-type Pokémon is the versatility of their moves. Alakazam has only used Teleport so far. If it uses moves like Light Screen, Reflect, Switch, or Nasty Plot later, that will be a real problem.

So what Ash needs to do now is to seal the opponent's moves. As long as Gengar doesn't have those troublesome transformation moves, it's impossible for it to lose in a head-on confrontation!

"Instant teleportation." Sabrina's calm voice rang out, and Alakazam vanished from its spot, its figure constantly shifting across the field.

With such rapid, instantaneous movement, provocation simply cannot lock onto the opponent.

Furthermore, while Gengar is busy chasing Alakazam, Alakazam can seize Gengar's weaknesses to launch a counterattack and inflict damage on Gengar.

But... all of this is predicated on Ash not being around!

Trying to use these deceptive and confusing skills in front of someone with Aura Force? You've got the wrong person to mess with!

"Provocation to the left front!"

After Ash finished speaking, Gengar immediately made a hooking gesture to the left front without hesitation.

With the hook hand gesture, all of Alakazam's transformation moves were instantly sealed!
Before Ash's Aura, all confusion-type moves will have nowhere to hide!

Alakazam, who was using Teleport, froze in the direction Gengar had taunted.

Seeing this, Sabrina's face showed a hint of surprise. Alakazam's teleportation frequency is so fast, how could the opponent have caught it?
Sabrina then looked in Ash's direction, a hint of understanding appearing in her beautiful eyes.

So that's how it is. Did she start using her abilities like she did?
What follows will not only be battles between Pokémon, but also battles between trainers.

"Now! Gengar, Dusknoir!"

The damage of Nightshade increases with level. With Gengar's current high-level strength, Nightshade's power is no less than Shadow Ball, and it can also ignore the opponent's defense to a certain extent!
If it hits, it can cause considerable damage!
(In reality, Dragon Rage can be considered a powerful move, so Dusknoir, which is similar to Dragon Rage, was also designed in this way. During the journey, Ash used Dusknoir as Gengar's main offensive move.)
Gengar's crimson eyes suddenly erupted with jet-black light, the beams of light radiating evil energy tearing through the void and hurtling toward Alakazam!

Sabrina's beautiful eyes flashed with a bright blue light, and the next moment, Alakazam's body let out a muffled thud!
"Teleport."

A cold voice rang out, and Alakazam vanished from Gengar's sight once again, the Nightshade's shadow falling short!

Xiaozhi: ? ? ?
Wait, what the hell? I already used taunt? And you can teleport like that? Are you kidding me?

This was truly beyond Ash's comprehension, but Ash's Aura still accurately pinpointed the opponent's location, so...

"Gengar, turn around! Behind you!"

"Alright!" Gengar smirked and suddenly turned around, and Nightshade also changed direction as he turned!

The pitch-black light shot off in the direction Ash had pointed out!

The next instant, Hudi appeared in the void, only to be greeted by a powerful black beam of light.

"boom!!"

The shadowy figure struck, creating a massive cloud of smoke in the air. The golden figure plummeted from the smoke and crashed to the ground.

Despite not knowing why the opponent broke the provocation, the Shadow of the Night still landed squarely on the opponent!

This caused considerable damage to Alakazam.

"What's going on? Gengar used Taunt, so why can Alakazam still use Teleport?" Xiaoxia asked from behind, somewhat puzzled.

Unless you recall the Pokémon, it shouldn't be able to use status moves under the effect of Taunt, even if it's a Psychic-type Pokémon!

"It might be related to Sabrina. Sabrina is a psychic with special abilities that ordinary psychics don't have. Maybe she did something to help Alakazam break through the Taunt limit."

Xiao Gang stroked his chin thoughtfully and said...

Let alone Elite Four level Pokémon, even Champion level Pokémon would have their transformation moves sealed if they were provoked.

Alakazam was able to use Teleport because it was likely influenced by an external force. Ash might not have noticed it, but he did notice the blue light shining in Sabrina's eyes.

That was a feature that would only light up if Sabrina had used powerful superpowers, so the situation was likely as he suspected.

"Gengar, use Spectral Beam!"

On the field, Ash took advantage of Alakazam being knocked to the ground and had Gengar use Spectral Beam to put Alakazam into a confused state!
Once you enter the chaos, you can use hypnosis. If both skills are used successfully, you've basically secured victory in this battle!

This is what Tactical Xiaozhi meant when he said, "Add as many status effects as you can, whether it's poison, paralysis, confusion, sleep, or anything else you can. Abnormal status effects are one of the biggest factors that enable you to succeed in battles against opponents of higher levels!"

As Ash finished speaking, a strange and chaotic beam of light shot out from Gengar's eye and struck Alakazam directly!
Alakazam had just recovered from the shock of the injury when it was hit by the strange beam.

The strange beam of light struck, and Alakazam's two eyes immediately began to dart around!
In a state of confusion, unpredictable Pokémon like Alakazam will have many of their skills become disordered, their moves will become chaotic, and they won't be able to hear their trainer's commands. "Well done, Gengar, use Hypnosis!" Seeing the Spectral Beam hit the target steadily, Ash excitedly snapped his fingers and then had Gengar use Hypnosis.

Sleep and confusion can coexist. If hypnosis hits, victory in this battle is basically secured!

After the chaos in the Alakazam, a blue light flashed in Sabrina's beautiful eyes once again!
Alakazam's eyes, which had been darting around, snapped back to reality in an instant. It then used Teleport to vanish from the spot. Gengar was still fiddling with its hands, casting Hypnosis, when its opponent simply disappeared!

This time, Sabrina's actions were detected by Ash's Aura.

"I was wondering why Taunt suddenly stopped working, and it turns out it was you who did it! You used your psychic powers to undo Taunt and the chaos from Alakazam!" Ash shouted at Sabrina.

Sabrina's superpower is definitely bugged; what ordinary superpower has such a function!

Humans with superpowers are already a very small minority, and those with superpowers that allow them to use various strange abilities are even smaller.

At most, they're like some elves, using telekinesis and teleportation—that's their limit.

But Sabrina is different. The things she has shown so far, such as causing Pokémon to evolve or degenerate and breaking through transformation skills, are things that ordinary psychics could never do in their entire lives.

This guy is definitely a freak!

A strange look flashed across Sabrina's face, then she coldly replied, "So what if it is? A trainer's ability is also part of the battle application. I didn't directly participate in the battle, and I didn't break the rules."

"Besides, aren't you a special ability user yourself? You just used that special power within your body, didn't you? Otherwise, how could you have predicted Alakazam's location in advance?"

Sabrina, being a psychic, noticed something unusual about Ash the moment he stepped into Saffron City.

Having been treated like a monster since childhood, she met someone like herself who was different from others for the first time!

This is why Sabrina is so obsessed with Ash; she longs to meet someone like herself who is different.

The trainee dojo students in the dojo were actually recruited by Sabrina in order to cultivate 'outcasts' like herself, but the result greatly disappointed her.

Even the most talented among them can only learn a little bit of superpower at most; being able to bend a spoon is already their limit.

So, after sensing Ash's immense power, Sabrina immediately focused all her attention on him. Only after learning that Ash was coming to challenge the Goldenrod Gym and that her presence had been exposed did she look away.

Ash's arrival and the power he displayed made Sabrina even more 'eager' for him.

In the past, although challengers who failed would be turned into dolls and forced to play a deadly escape game with Sabrina, they would at most suffer some fright and psychological trauma before being released, and the time would not exceed a week.

But if it's Ash... as long as he loses, Sabrina will keep him by her side forever, just like the mother who was turned into a doll by her!
At this moment, although Sabrina appeared expressionless and seemed normal, her heart was completely twisted!
Sabrina's words made Ash purse his lips in a noncommittal manner. He could use his aura to observe the trajectory of Sabrina's use of her psychic powers, and Sabrina could naturally use her psychic powers to observe his aura.

However, compared to his wave-guided support ability, Sabrina's superpower support is simply too overpowered!

If he wants to use Aura to provide more support to his Pokémon, he needs to enter Aura Fusion state, which requires a certain level of intimacy or bond.

The deeper the bond, the stronger the power that waveguide fusion can connect to.

Currently, apart from Gengar, all of Ash's Pokémon can be fused with him using Aura, since they have all gone through some events before becoming his subordinates, and have been together for quite some time.

The only difference is the degree of integration.

But Gengar has never actually tried waveguide fusion, and doesn't know if fusion can be successful.

This is also why Ash didn't cheat immediately after learning that Sabrina had cheated.

However, now that Ash has exposed Sabrina's 'cheating' method, Sabrina is no longer hiding it at all. She directly boosts her psychic power to the extreme, and Alakazam's level immediately reaches the peak of the Elite Four!

The password... This is like shooting yourself in the foot!

Alakazam is now a level higher than Gengar, and its Special Attack stat, boosted by Sabrina's Psychic abilities, is now very close to Gengar's level.

Gengar no longer has any advantage in any area.

"There's no other way, we have to give it a try... Gengar, if you sense a power later, don't reject it, try to accept it!"

"what?"

Gengar was completely confused, having no idea what Ash was talking about.

Ash didn't have much time to explain to Gengar that the opportunity to fuse with Aura was only once, and once the opponent started attacking, there would be no chance to attach his Aura to Gengar again.

A deep blue light shone in Ash's eyes, and a terrifying power rose from his body.

The next second, Gengar felt an unparalleled power flowing into its body, and that power tried to merge with the power within its own body.

"This power... Aura power? Good lad, you have this trick up your sleeve!" Gengar exclaimed excitedly, as he absorbed the aura power into his own body.

Instantly, his power increased by more than one level compared to before, and he also felt the magical effects of waveguide!

The location of Alakazam is like a bright light in the dark night, very conspicuous!
Now, no matter if Alakazam uses Teleport or other disruptive moves, it won't be able to dodge his detection!

"This detection range...tsk tsk, no wonder you were able to find that guy's location so easily just now, it's practically cheating! You used this skill to predict my attacks when you attacked me, right?" Gengar said with a tsk of amazement.

Waveguide fusion – Success!
Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief after sensing the strange connection between himself and Gengar. The first wave fusion was a success, something that Pidgeotto and Butterfree couldn't do back then.

He hadn't expected that Gengar's feelings for him were so deep, even to the point of being able to merge with it.

It seems that physical confrontations are indeed necessary to deepen friendships!
