Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

After eating it, Gengar's body suddenly felt light, and the entire Pokémon was able to float freely in mid-air.

"Great, Gengar!"

Ash was happy to see Gengar floating happily in the air.

"Alright, the training is over. You two can leave now."

At Ms. Kikuko's command, Shigeru immediately relaxed.

"Thank you for your guidance over this period of time, Ms. Kikuko."

He was finally able to leave the forest; he was exhausted after all this time.

But Xiao Zhi is always full of energy.

"Ms. Kikuko, may I ask you one more thing?"

Kikuko seemed to have anticipated this, as she herself was also itching to try it.

Is it for war?

Xiao Zhi nodded.

Kikuko smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the fighting spirit burning in the other person's eyes.

"My time is precious, so I can only have one-on-one duels. If you don't mind, come on, young man."

Chapter 187 The Wicked Girl Pear Blossom

Back at the temple, because Grandma Kikuko had to rush back to Kanto the next day at noon to deal with urgent matters of the alliance.

So Ash made a promise with her to have a one-on-one Pokémon battle the next morning.

He has already chosen the Pokémon he will use.

"Gengar, you'll be in charge of fighting Agatha Christie's Pokémon tomorrow."

"Do you have confidence?"

"Kou Jie!"

At this moment, Pikachu on Ash's shoulder was a little disappointed, as it thought it would be its turn to fight.

Ash could only helplessly rub its little head.

"Sorry, Pikachu, but for this battle against Ms. Agatha, I wanted to test the results of Gengar's training over this period of time."

"I'll let you play again next time."

I've been training with Gengar for the past few days and have been neglecting Pikachu a bit.

"Pikachu".

However, Pikachu is very reasonable and didn't throw a tantrum.

"But is it really okay for Ash to send Gengar into battle? Although he has received special training, it has only been a week."

Misty wasn't too optimistic about Ash's decision to send Gengar to battle against Elite Four member Agatha.

"Ms. Kikuko isn't one to hold back, so it's safer to let Pikachu battle her."

"No, Xiaoxia, I believe in Gengar."

Ash's Gengar actually has a very good foundation and quite strong talent; it turns out the trainer was mediocre and couldn't train it well.

But ever since it joined Ash, it has made rapid progress. "And we have a secret weapon!"

"Secret weapon?"

Ash took out the newly acquired Gengar Mega Evolution Stone from his pocket and put it into a bracelet for Gengar to wear.

"Is this Gengar's Mega Stone?"

"Those stones are very rare."

She had mentioned the Mega Stone to Sakura after seeing Ash take it out and use it.

Although her older sister later got her a set, it cost a lot of money, and it was a Gyarados evolution stone.

Xiaoxia is terrified of Gyarados.

Only after actually collecting them did I realize that not only are Mega Stones hard to find, but not every Pokémon can Mega Evolve.

Obtaining a Mega Stone for your Pokémon is extremely difficult and cannot be achieved simply by having money.

Seeing Ash pull out a new Gengar Mega Evolution Stone from some unknown four-dimensional pouch, Misty couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Ash, where did you get so many different kinds of Mega Stones?"

"Even Professor Oak wouldn't give you this much, would he?"

"That's actually the legendary Arceus A-Meng..."

"Alright, stop talking." Xiaoxia immediately interrupted, realizing that Xiaozhi was having some unspoken difficulties.

But Ash also has something to say: in the Pokémon world, anything that's not right can definitely be thrown at Arceus.

How can you say he's lying?

Without wasting any more time, Ash immediately dragged Gengar to the open space next to the shrine to try out its Mega Evolution.

Mega Evolution requires a strong bond between the trainer and the Pokémon to succeed, and Ash and Gengar's Senses are already maxed out, so their bond has long been sufficient.

He raised the Key Stone on his wrist and began to resonate with Gengar's Mega Stone, and Gengar's entire body immediately emitted an evolutionary glow.

A moment later, the light faded, and Gengar's originally chubby body became even sharper, with spikes appearing on its hands, feet, and tail.

The lower half of its body is purplish-red, and a yellow gold coin resembling a third eye has appeared on its forehead.

"Is this Mega Gengar?" Misty and Pikachu stepped forward to examine Gengar with curiosity.

The evolved Gengar was also very excited, as it could feel its power increasing.

"Alright, Gengar, familiarize yourself with your powers. Tomorrow we'll be battling Ms. Agatha!"

"Kou Jie!"

————100,000 Volts————

The next day, Kikuko waited early at the battlefield of the temple.

Grandma Suzukin and Shigeru helped tidy up the battlefield.

Ash and his friends arrived there soon after.

"Are you ready, Ash?"

"Of course, Ms. Kikuko, we can begin anytime!"

Hearing Ash's energetic response, Kikuko nodded in satisfaction.

“Damu’s grandson, be the referee.”

Xiao Mao had no temper at being ordered around like that, and obediently went to the center of the field.

Kikuko took out her Poké Ball and threw it onto the field, where a red light flashed.

A Pokémon appeared on the field with a dark green body, will-o'-the-wisp-like hair, red irises, and a string of red beads around its neck.

As soon as it appeared, it flew happily around Kikuko, revealing a mischievous smile.

"This Pokémon is a Misdre..."

Ash the Misdreavus has been seen quite often in the forest. To be honest, he's small and very cute, but he doesn't seem to match Agatha's imposing presence.

"Alright, since that's the case, Gengar is the one!"

With both Pokémon in position, Gary gave the signal to begin.

"Gengar uses Shadow Ball!"

"Dream Spirit Shadow Ball!"

With a deafening boom, the collision of the shadow orbs produced a massive explosion, whipping up dust that made it difficult for onlookers to open their eyes.

"Oh dear, the old man's eyes can't withstand this kind of damage."

Grandma Lingjin quickly hid behind Xiao Mao, using him as cover.

"The attacks from both sides are so strong." Xiao Mao shielded his face with his arm, intently observing the battle.

They started by exchanging Shadow Balls as a friendly gesture, and both Pokémon showed excited expressions on their faces.

Ash immediately revealed his Mega Evolution.

A flash of white light illuminated the Mega Gengar, which stood tall on the earth.

"Kou Jie!"

"So you and Gengar have already mastered Mega Evolution. That's quite a pleasant surprise."

A hint of surprise appeared on Kikuko's face.

"It seems we should send Gengar into battle. But this battle won't be boring. Misdreavus, use Trick Room."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Dream Demon immediately released a shimmering flash of light that distorted the surrounding space.

"What is this?" This was the first time Ash had encountered this kind of tactic.

"Once Ash activates this move, as long as the space is active for a certain period of time, slower Pokémon can attack first, so be careful."

Xiaoxia, the external brain, quickly reminded Xiaozhi that he shouldn't underestimate the enemy and act rashly just because he has a Mega Gengar.

"I see. That means the opponent's attacks will always be faster than mine."

It is a bit troublesome.

Ash believed that with Gengar's power after Mega Evolution, as long as he survived the first round, his own move would hit once and he could defeat Misdreavus.

"Gengar uses Shadow Ball!"

"Dream Demon, Dark Pulse!"
