Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

Diantha initiated the battle, and a ray of light suddenly flew out from another dimension, directly hitting Blastoise!

The actress showcased an incredibly impressive feat: the Pumpkin Monster was able to unleash its unique transformation technique within the alternate dimension, granting Blastoise the Ghost attribute!

"Come out and attack!" After successfully turning Blastoise into a twice-weak ghost, Karuno continued her sneak attack, commanding Pumpkin Monster to jump out of the alternate dimension and rush straight at the opponent!

"High-speed spin dodge!" But Ash wasn't going to be outdone; Blastoise had been on guard against this move and instantly spun around like a top to avoid the attack...

But this was exactly what Karuno wanted!

The moment the two Pokémon passed each other, Diantha commanded Pumpkin to unleash its true killing move!

"Use the spirit!"

"Use the wave of evil!"

The two gave the command almost simultaneously. Under the influence of a dark energy, the Mega Stone worn by Blastoise seemed to turn into a vengeful spirit, constantly eroding the host's body and even causing Blastoise to let out a scream.

But its offensive did not stop, forcibly hitting the Pumpkin Monster with its Dark Pulse... and even triggering the Coward effect!

"Continue using the Evil Pulse!"

"The Pumpkin Monster is back!"

Diantha was clearly intimidated by Ash's spirit and quickly recalled her partner, who was temporarily unable to make a move.

"Phew... Looks like I'm in luck." Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect that Diantha would also have such a powerful move."

“Kalos isn’t far from Galar, and I’ve dabbled in some of their moves,” Diantha said modestly. “It’s Ash’s attacks that are truly admirable.”

Ghost-type move Spirit Stalker is a physical attack that is more powerful than Phantom Strikes, but it can only be used on Pokémon that are holding an item.

Blastoise will definitely take a huge amount of damage after being given the Ghost type.

But Diana didn't expect that it could stubbornly hold on and even launch such a high-quality counterattack!

I've been forced to back down again... I have to find a way to solve this!

"Show your power, Gardevoir!" Diantha made a decision that shocked everyone, sending out her ace ahead of schedule!

Dressed in white, the elegant and dignified Psychic Queen... With such a beautiful appearance, it's no wonder she's a popular choice for Pokémon stickers.

However, Ash wasn't in the mood for such fantasies; he felt immense pressure from Gardevoir.

Next, we'll have to walk a tightrope a little...

Given Blastoise's current state, it would definitely be one-shotted by Gardevoir.

But with +3 speed and the ability to activate Rapids, the Burst Torterra can do quite a lot...

"Blastoise, U-turn!" With the plan settled, Ash suddenly waved his hand, commanding Blastoise to launch a frontal attack!

He was betting that, with the battle not even halfway through, Diantha would never allow Gardevoir to suffer unnecessary harm!

As expected, Diantha simply nodded slightly and did not even give any instructions before Gardevoir dodged Blastoise's attack.

"Use 100,000 volts!"

"Crush it with a water cannon!"

Upon hearing Diantha's command, Ash was overjoyed and immediately ordered Blastoise to go all out.

It seemed to transform into the eye of the vortex archipelago, summoning terrifying torrents that instantly swept across the entire area!

Gardevoir's electric current instantly shattered into fragments, and it had to use Psychic to fly into the air, barely managing to dodge Blastoise's all-out attack.

This attack was Blastoise's answer, representing the highest achievement it could currently attain as a 'normal' Pokémon!

"Come back, thank you for your hard work." Ash took the initiative to switch places before Diantha could retaliate.

This was the first Pokémon to be eliminated from the game. Although it didn't lose its ability to battle, it could only remain a spectator afterward...

"Gardevoir is a real pain, I have no choice but to send you to deal with it..." Ash flicked his wrist, and a specially made Super Heavy Ball quietly landed on the field. "Go, Steelix!"

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening, unique sound effect, the behemoth, over forty meters long, crashed to the ground!

"This size?!" Although Karen had done her research beforehand, she couldn't help but be surprised when she actually saw such a massive Steelix.

"Use mental interference!"

"Spiral Ball!"

Gardevoir began to tentatively release its psychic powers, but the giant Steelix immediately encircled the area, stubbornly resisting the psychic power and tightening its body inward, intending to trap Gardevoir in the area and kill it!

"Dodge the attack, use Shadow Ball!" Diantha, of course, wouldn't let such a slow attack hit her. Gardevoir took to the air again and casually threw out a ball of dark energy.

The entire arena is now a target; you could hit it with your eyes closed... provided that Steelix is ​​still on the field.

"Dig!" Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, Gardevoir's Shadow Ball lost its target.

"Gardevoir!", "Gardevoir!"

The Super Queen immediately understood and gracefully landed in the arena, unleashing her powerful superpowers across the entire area!

Boom boom boom!

The earth began to compress relentlessly, and Gardevoir actually triggered an earthquake with its pure psychic powers!

"Great offensive... then we'll use an earthquake too!"

Rumble!

An even more violent tremor suddenly erupted, catching Gardevoir off guard and even causing its legs to buckle!

"Why..." Karuno frowned.

Steelix is ​​already weak to Ground, and the damage it takes while burrowing is doubled. It's hardly worth inflicting heavy damage on both sides...

"I'm going to reveal something here: Steelix uses electromagnetic levitation while digging its burrows," Ash said with a hint of pride.

Being able to slightly outmaneuver Gardevoir is quite an achievement.

"Electromagnetic levitation..." Karuno was speechless. This iron snake was actually floating like that?

So Gardevoir's show of skill just now was just a way to make itself weak in the knees?

"Come back first... Goodra, it's your turn next!" Not wanting to get entangled with the shameless Iron Serpent, Diantha decisively switched to the local pseudo-legendary, "Just spray the muddy stream directly at the burrow!"

"Use the spiral ball to break through immediately!"

Gardevoir lacked countermeasures, while Goodra was clearly adept at it. Upon entering the field, it immediately shot a large amount of mud and water at the pit, forcing Steelix to tear the terrain apart.

Immediately afterwards, the Iron Serpent used the same trick again, quickly squeezing its body against the Sticky Dragon!

"Use the big explosion on yourself!" "Sticky dew!"

The raging flames engulfed Goodra's body, and the Steelix that had charged at it was immediately badly injured.

"This works?" Ash frowned, but quickly figured out why.

This is a vest with a sticky dragon design...

The Assault Vest is an item that increases the Special Defense of the Pokémon it is holding by 50%, but at the cost of being unable to use status moves.

At this point, the theoretical special defense of the Grimmsnarl is even higher than that of the Steelix, and with the Dragon-type resistance, the mere fire attack is no match for it!

"Next, use the gas-gathering bomb!"

"Disassemble your body, then come back!"

After successfully launching a 'Big Fireball' in return, Diantha pressed her advantage, but the part of her body that the Grit Dragon was aiming at suddenly embedded itself in the ground, narrowly dodging the Charge Bomb.

Ash also made a timely substitution. It was definitely not a wise move to stand still and fight against a pseudo-legendary with a shield.

He also admired Karuno immensely; he had been holding the upper hand just moments before, but she had turned the tables on him.

"It's time for my fourth one... Gengar, go!" "Gen~ Gen~"

Ash also switched to the Ghost type, and Gengar started making funny faces with his fists as soon as it appeared... Unfortunately, it didn't have any muscles on its arms at all.

"Gooddra, Muddy Current!" Knowing that Gooddra's Special Defense was formidable, Diantha still sent out a Ghost-type Pokémon that excelled in Special Attack. Diantha couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

Sticky Dragon naturally didn't intend to let its opponent get close, and directly sprayed out sprays of muddy water in front of it.

"Dodge!" Gengar can easily dodge this kind of attack with a stealth move.

It hurtled along the ground like a shadow, rapidly closing in on its opponent.

"Use large characters to scorch the area!"

"Mental interference!"

Diantha, of course, wouldn't let Gengar succeed. She immediately commanded Gooddra to spew burning flames onto the field, but Gengar cleverly used its psychic powers to shrink the flames and throw them into the air.

By the time Sloth reacted, it had already met Gengar's dark eyes.

"nightmare!"

"Ugh..." Nianlong rolled his eyes and painfully fell into a nightmare.

"Next, the Shadow of the Night..."

"Come back first!" Ash's follow-up move failed, and Diantha immediately recalled Goodra.

But it doesn't matter, Gengar's attack has already succeeded.

Having trained with Gastly for so long, Gengar's Nightmare is no longer just a simple combination of hypnosis and nightmares; otherwise, how could it have become its signature move?
