Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Watching Gengar struggle to enter the Spirit Realm, it used its stealth attack and the bowed-headed Rhyhorn to create some distance between itself and the Spirit Realm.

Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth.

"Gengar!"

His voice suddenly rose, carrying a desperate, all-or-nothing air.

"listen to me!"

"Use your stealth attack to deliver your strongest blow!"

"Use your strongest move—go head-on with it!!"

Upon hearing this, Gengar was taken aback.

The strongest attack?

It and Ash had not rehearsed this script together.

But what kind of Pokémon is Gengar?

It's a Pokémon that can read the air, read between the lines, and understand a trainer's entire plan from just a glance!

Since Ash has said so!

"Gag!"

Come on!

Gengar isn't a coward either!

It no longer dodges or wanders around, but hovers straight in the center of the field.

He clasped his fists together in front of him, and a ball of dark energy began to condense between his palms.

The energy ball expanded at a visible speed, growing from the size of a fist to the size of a basketball, and then to the size of a watermelon...

Unstable arcs of purplish-black light surged across the surface of the Shadow Orb, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

The intensity of this fluctuation is unprecedented!

Mewtwo immediately became alert.

This Gengar is going to fight to the death!

[Alert! All-round defense!]

Mewtwo's voice exploded in Rhyhorn's mind.

The rhinoceros let out a low growl, its muscles tensing as if ready to tear up a rock wall at any moment.

Mewtwo simultaneously launched a mental scan, covering every inch of the entire arena.

It doesn't intend to rely solely on the defenses of the rhinoceros!

After all, if you have a cheat that you can't use, then you've got nothing to show for it!

"Now! Gengar! Phantom Assault!!!"

Gengar's energy had reached its peak.

Everyone held their breath.

A dark crack tore open in front of Gengar.

The spirit world has reopened.

Mewtwo looked to the side of Rhyhorn, where there was a fluctuation!

[At the 10 o'clock position, half a meter away!]

The rhinoceros with the horned horn suddenly looked in that direction.

Its muscles were stretched to their limit, the power of the earth roared beneath its feet, and the rock walls could be lifted at any moment.

At the ten o'clock position, half a meter away.

The pitch-black crack tore open in the air, as if space itself had opened its eyes.

Boom boom boom—!

The shadow orb shot out, directly tearing up the rock wall.

Just as the rhinoceros was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a large black face suddenly appeared!

It's Gengar!

Mewtwo's pupils dilated instantly.

Oh no, we've fallen for their trap!

But it was too late.

Eyes facing each other.

The rhinoceros's brain went blank for a moment.

It knew perfectly well—it must not look into the eyes, it absolutely must not look into the eyes.

Mewtwo gave the instructions hundreds of times, and it also silently repeated them to itself hundreds of times.

But now... this damn Gengar has its face right in front of it.

Half a meter.

The distance was so close that the Rhyperior could see its own reflection in Gengar's pupils—a Rhyperior with its head down, looking up into a pair of scarlet abysses.

"This is our strongest attack!"

Xiao Zhi clenched his fist!

"Gag!"

Gengar grinned.

Unexpectedly!

There's a pause between what Ash said about a head-on confrontation and the strongest attack...!

Those scarlet eyes turned slightly.

Look me in the eye!

You little bastard!

Then... immerse yourself in the world of illusion!

Illusion, activate!

The massive body of the rhinoceros suddenly stiffened, then slowly slumped down, collapsing to the ground like a lump of mud.

Its eyes became exactly like Nidoking's before—empty, unfocused, and devoid of all fighting spirit.

The room fell silent.

After a while, Xiaoxia's voice broke the silence.

"???"

"This...this is the strongest attack?"

She blinked, looked at Gengar, then at Ash, and her lips twitched.

"Such a huge shadow ball, I thought we were going to clash head-on with energy blasts, but it turns out it was just hypnosis after all?"

However, upon closer reflection, it does make sense.

Gengar's strongest ability is hypnosis.

This is something else.

This was truly a case of Ash and Gengar exploiting an information gap with the opponent.

They outmaneuvered the opponent.

Ugh!

I never expected that even Xiao Zhi, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would go astray!

.......

snort!

Gengar looked at Rhyhorn, whose brain had temporarily shut down.

A smile played at the corners of his lips.

It seems to be yet another being who succumbs to the power of knowledge!

Strike while the iron is hot and kill it!

Distracted, Gengar condensed a Shadow Ball in its hand to maintain the illusion.

The Shadow Orb spun in his palm, crackling with a purple-black arc of light.

Gengar glanced provocatively at the trainer opposite him, a sly smile playing on its lips, its eyes conveying "What can you do to me?"

It won this round!

Just as he was about to make his move—

boom!!!

An extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted, sweeping through the entire dojo like an invisible tsunami.

"Pikachu—?!"

Pikachu's fur bristled into a ball, its tail stood stiffly upright in mid-air, and it subconsciously turned its head to look at the source of the aura.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang also felt the suffocating pressure at the same time and looked over together.

[Sakaki] was trembling violently.

It wasn't the kind of trembling that comes from fear.

It's anger.

It's the kind of anger that bursts forth from the depths of your soul after your bottom line has been crossed, an anger that almost tears you apart!
