Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 562 This is the vicious devil! I am the one everyone hopes for!

"Wow~ This is so cool! A shiny Super Gengar."

Mizuki bit her handkerchief with envy. Gengar was also one of her favorite Pokémon, but her Gengar was just an ordinary Gengar.

The white Super Gengar is truly stunning!

"The visual impact is indeed quite strong; the contrast is too intense."

Giovanni nodded in agreement; that's exactly what shiny Pokémon are like.

A regular Gengar is a dark, deep purple, while a shiny Gengar is grayish-black, but a shiny Mega Gengar is snow-white, creating a striking contrast.

"However, according to Gushin, this was his original trump card for this Poison-type team. So what will be the final Pokémon?"

Qinglu began to speak with great interest, and as she spoke, she looked at Lillie and Xiaolan.

If we were to name the people most familiar with Gu Xin, these two would definitely be the two.

"I don't know, it must be a Pokémon that is very meaningful to my brother."

Lillie blinked her big eyes, already having a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

But since it was just a guess, she couldn't be sure.

On the field.

"Extensive area combat power!"

Crimson gave the order without hesitation. The brilliance of the spiritual field had already dimmed, which meant that the spiritual field was about to end.

We should take this opportunity to test the strength of this super Gengar.

Guxin himself said that this super Gengar is the ace of this poison-type team!

A colorful halo swirled around Seiya, continuously condensing into tangible spiritual energy.

"Shadowball." Guxin smiled.

Mega Gengar chuckled, a jet-black Shadow Ball condensing in front of it before shooting directly at Espeon at high speed.

Meanwhile, Espeon's wide-area combat power also surged forth.

Boom!

The Shadow Sphere and the Wide Area Force collided heavily in mid-air, with black and colorful energies clashing wildly before finally exploding.

An incredibly powerful blast of air swept outwards, the shockwave rippled outwards like waves, and a fierce wind howled.

"That strong?!"

His crimson eyes narrowed; this was a wide-area combat power enhanced by a mental field!

The Wide Area Power itself has a power bonus on the Psychic Field, and it also has the field effect bonus of the Psychic Field. Such a Wide Area Power is actually on par with a Shadow Ball!

That's absolutely outrageous!

"As expected of Guxin's poison-type ace." The crimson eyes turned serious.

Such a powerful Mega Gengar reminded him of the Shiny Mega Charizard Y, the ace of Gushin's Fire-type team, which also possessed terrifying combat power.

"Eevee, Light Screen!" Red decisively commanded.

Ghosts are super effective against Psychic-type Pokémon. Although Espeon has excellent Special Defense, this Mega Gengar's Special Attack is too strong.

You must first open the light wall, and then you can open the spiritual field again, so you can slowly look for opportunities.

A semi-transparent wall of light illuminated in front of Espeon.

"A curse." Guxin's lips curled up slightly.

Mega Gengar was still grinning wickedly when an ancient nail that looked rotten appeared in front of it.

Ding~ Ding~ Ding~

A chilling, low clanging sound rang out as the cursed nail was driven into the body of Mega Gengar.

His brows were furrowed and his face was bright red.

The Magic Mirror can grant immunity to and reflect some transformation-type moves, including moves like Dark Hole, Black Gaze, and Threatening Words.

But the magic mirror cannot be immune to curses!

Because the magic mirror is essentially a body that is constantly in a state of magical reflection, and curses are not affected by magical reflection, magical defense or mystical protection can resist curses.

Espeon's Light Screen is complete, but Mega Gengar's Curse is also complete.

The curse of a ghost is extremely deadly!

Most importantly, Mega Gengar's Shadow Tag ability is not a status move, but an ability, so Magic Mirror cannot be used.

The gray cursed breath shot directly at Espeon, causing a dim gray light to emanate from its body. A sharp pain made Espeon tense up, lower its head, and groan in agony.

The first invasion of the curse!

"Aka, do you want to use the Psychic Field? Or would you like to use the baton relay? Please."

Then Guxin smiled and spoke to Chihong in a gentle and refined manner, even gesturing for him to enter.

Waiting for what? Of course, we're waiting for Sun Eevee to use the baton.

With the Shadow Tag ability, Espeon cannot be recalled normally; its only way to escape the curse is by using Baton Pass!

However, using Baton Pass will transfer the Pokémon's status to the Pokémon that receives the pass. Now that Espeon is cursed, whenever it uses Baton Pass, the cursed status will be transferred to Blastoise or Charizard.

"..."

Chi Hong pursed her lips, her brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"Eevee is gone."

Leon shook his head and immediately sentenced Espeon to death. Some battles, though only just beginning, already have an outcome that can be seen at a glance.

The damage from the curse is extremely high, and Red would never allow Espeon to use Baton Pass to avoid the curse damage.

Otherwise, who would you pass the curse on to? Charizard is absolutely out of the question, because Charizard is the ace up, and it must be kept in top condition.

And what's the point of passing the baton to Blastoise?

"As expected, Mizuki learned this from Champion Guxin. She used this curse without any hesitation."

Hop clicked his tongue in amazement. Although the curse was powerful, Ghost-type Pokémon would lose HP when using the curse, and not just any ordinary amount of HP loss.

This shiny Mega Gengar is the ace of Gushin's champion Poison-type team, so every bit of its condition must be extremely precious, right?

But this curse really can be used without warning!

"Eevee, Spirit Breaker!"

As expected, Red didn't choose to use Baton Pass, but instead let Espeon, which had already survived the first damage from the curse, attack.

At that moment, a colorful ball of light appeared on the horizon; this was the Foresight technique that Espeon had used earlier.

Predicting the future is a delayed attack, and this just happened to be the right time, but the timing wasn't ideal.

"A surprise attack," Guxin ordered with a light laugh.

A black light flashed in Super Gengar's eyes, and its figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Dark-type priority move Sudden Attack!

The psychic waves, which allowed the user to foresee the future and possess strong mental power, were all dodged by Mega Gengar's surprise attack.

Mega Gengar, appearing at high speed behind Espeon, lashed out at Espeon with its white claws wreathed in black light.

Espeon's Reflector had already expired when it was under the curse.

The surprise attack hit Espeon perfectly. Espeon let out a cry, but it could still withstand it, as Mega Gengar's physical attack is very low.

"Features interchanged!"

But at that moment, Crimson suddenly shouted.

Espeon turned around, its eyes flashing blue.

Psychic-type ability swap is a magical move that uses psychic powers to swap abilities with the opponent's.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is my first novel. (Reading)

If the trade is successful, Espeon will gain the Shadow Tag ability, while Mega Gengar will gain the Magic Mirror ability!

Without the Shadow Tag ability's restriction, Red can recall Espeon, avoiding the curse's corruption.

"Amazing!! That's incredibly thoughtful!"

Mikoli was shocked; he had never expected this way to break the deadlock.

"Indeed, Crimson's reaction and thinking are too calm and rational; he's still trying to find a way out of this desperate situation."

Daigo was also amazed. No wonder he was able to make it to the finals. It wasn't just his skill; Crimson's thinking was truly comprehensive.

But Guxin on the field just smiled.

"It's no use, we've already taken precautions." Of course, he wouldn't overlook the trait swap.

"Gengar".

After the surprise attack, a deep, shadowy rift appeared behind Mega Gengar, and Mega Gengar instantly disappeared into it.

The interchangeability of features loses its target, and thus its use naturally fails.

"Sneak attack by a hidden spirit..."

His crimson palms clenched into fists involuntarily; even someone as calm as him was becoming somewhat impatient.

At that moment, Espeon once again showed a pained expression, and the second wave of the curse began.

At the same time, a deep rift opened behind Espeon, and Mega Gengar emerged with a wicked grin, slamming into Espeon.

Espeon, already under the influence of the curse, was suddenly attacked and unable to maintain its balance, and was knocked to the ground.

"Shadow Ball!"

Guxin gave chase without hesitation.

Mega Gengar conjured a Shadow Ball and shot it directly at Espeon on the ground.

A semi-transparent wall of light appeared on Espeon's surface, reducing the damage from Shadow Ball by half.

Even so, it was merely a change from a restrained attack to a normal, damaging attack.

Boom!

The Shadow Ball exploded on Espeon, who let out another painful screech, and a powerful shockwave rippled outwards.

When the smoke cleared, Espeon was clearly seriously injured and couldn't even stand up immediately.

"This is just too hopeless..."

"It's just right, the evil spirits are all here."

"Gengar is the one everyone wants!!"

"Poor Espeon. It could have taken over the baton, but it can't run away, it can't fight back, and it has to bear the damage of the curse itself."

"It's impossible to take over. Blastoise would just be a mobile health pack for Mega Gengar. If it uses Hypnosis to eat a couple of Dream Eaters, Mega Gengar would probably be at full health. And switching to Charizard is even more impossible. When it's cursed, Espeon would have to sacrifice itself."

And there's not much to say next. Mega Gengar used Shadow Ball again to send Espeon "free".

"Eevee is unable to battle, Mega Gengar wins!"

Xiao Lan announced the outcome of the battle.

Red recalled Espeon and stared at the Espeon's Poké Ball in silence for a moment.

"Thank you for your hard work, I'm sorry."

Red whispered to Espeon, knowing that although it was for the sake of the team's overall situation, he had indeed "abandoned" Espeon just now.

Espeon's Poké Ball wobbled slightly, as if to reassure Red that it wasn't a big deal.

Call ~

Chi Hong let out a rare long breath, raised his head again, and his red eyes were full of fervent and high-spirited fighting spirit.

"Charizard!"

Without any hesitation, Crimson unleashed its trump card, Charizard.

The Charizard roared through the sky and landed heavily in front of the crimson creature, displaying the same indomitable fighting spirit.

Charizard! Mega Evolution!

Crimson raised her arm, and the keystone shimmered with a bright and dazzling light.

A dazzling light of evolution enveloped Charizard's entire body. When the light faded, a brand new Mega Charizard X was revealed.

Roar!

Super Charizard X raised its head and spewed out a blazing blue flame, its spirit full of energy.

"Red spray!"

Seeing this imposing and handsome Charizard X, Guxin couldn't help but sigh.

It's a pity, otherwise it would have been nice to have my Charizard Y battle against this Charizard X.

However, since there's only one chance, it's better to give it to them.
