Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Its left hand held a ring, while its right hand rested loosely on the edge of the ring.

A white mane hung down its neck, complementing its ambiguous smiling face.

For some reason, it gives off a... sleazy feeling.

The audience in the stands were taken aback.

"This...this is a Dream Eater?!"

That's right!

The visitor was none other than the king of doujinshi, the holder of the hypnotic term, and a devoted fan of Kumaki Komaru—

The Dream Eater!

"Satie has a Pokémon like that? This art style is so off!"

"That's so perverted!"

Upon hearing this, Naz's slightly blue eyes swept across the stands like a cold glare.

Looking at the seven or eight people shouting the loudest in the middle of the stage, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.

Seeing that they subconsciously touched the back of their necks, Naz immediately looked away.

She did not make another direct move.

After all, she felt that her father was right. As a former gym leader and a Psychic-type trainer, it would be too damaging to his reputation to take direct action.

So she simply thought of it and cast a delayed-effect negative status effect on those people, but that was enough for them to go back and get a good night's sleep for a few days...

In the arena, Ash also looked shocked, but his surprise was for something completely different from that of the other spectators.

What shocked him was that he had seen this Pokémon before!

Leaning slightly forward, Xiao Zhi stared wide-eyed as he looked the Dream Eater up and down over and over again.

"you……"

"...The Dream Eater from Yuhong City?"

Dream Eater: "?"

That sound...

As soon as it looked up and saw the voice coming from the other side, its half-closed eyes widened slightly!

"Suli?!"

...Ash?!

When fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears!

The Dream-Guiding Tapir nodded emphatically, its eyes filled with tears.

That's right! It's this one!

It's the one from Yuhong City!

Having received affirmation, Ash felt a pleasant surprise, like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Even the tense atmosphere of the battle was somewhat eased by this interruption.

"I never imagined you'd be won over by Sabrina..."

"Su Li..."

“Bad luck? You can’t say that,” Ash paused. “After all, in some ways, you’re quite lucky, well, probably quite lucky.”

"Pickup!"

Pikachu twitched its ears, crossed its front paws in front of its chest, and nodded.

That's true.

Sabrina is no ordinary person either; to be subdued by Sabrina is a stroke of good luck.

The only problem was that the place where they burned incense might not have been chosen quite right.

Upon hearing this, the Dream Eater's expression instantly fell apart.

The face that had been smiling seemed to have its skeleton removed; the corners of its mouth drooped down, and even the hand holding the ring drooped.

"Su Li..."

Don't even mention it, it attracts dream-devouring people... It's so miserable!

Back when Ash left Celadon City, it was incredibly popular. With its handsome face and Pokémon Ring, it and its best friend Hypno were thriving near the Pokémon Center.

They help soothe insomniac Pokémon in exchange for berries and snacks, and occasionally even take on the task of calming frightened Pokémon.

That would make him practically a government employee!

But it and the Hypnotic hadn't enjoyed their good days for long—they had just finished sharing a large bunch of Banana Berry in the back alley of the Pokémon Center and were preparing to lie down under the shade of a tree for a nap.

The nightmare from their sleep suddenly appeared in front of them!

It and the Hypno were immediately dumbfounded, after all, they had spoken ill of her among the Pokémon back in Goldenrod City.

I never expected that even after running so far, they would still come knocking on my door!

To cover his sworn brother's retreat, the Dream Eater immediately stepped forward. After all, a true man should not stand idly by and watch his brother suffer!

With a swift movement, he held the ring horizontally in front of him and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Sabrina!

With focused concentration and full force, he unleashed a series of fluid and graceful moves... and when he woke up the next day, it was already inside the Poké Ball.

"Su Li..."

The Dream Eater sighed again, as if reminiscing about its short but glorious life.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi nodded seriously.

With a hint of respect in his eyes, Chao Yinmengmo gave him a thumbs up.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you! You're so kind and righteous!"

"Su Li~"

The Dream-Guiding Tapir quickly waved his hand.

No, no, that's too much to say.

Naza stood on the opposite side, watching the interaction between the two without saying a word.

Her gaze lingered on the Dream Eater for a moment before falling on Ash's face, a thoughtful glint in her eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

She initially thought the person on the other end was experiencing some kind of mental disorder.

After all, there are very few Pokémon that can sense her power in front of them and still dare to take the initiative to attack.

She simply raised her hand to block out of habit, and the telekinetic energy rebounded, causing the other person to collapse limply.

She found it amusing and casually tamed it...

.........

Despite the reminiscing, the warm atmosphere on stage didn't last long.

Even if the referee is afraid to warn you, you still have to play.

Ash recalled Charizard and then dispatched his second powerful general—

Gengar!

He had discussed it with Shigeru, since the Baku's signature skills are hypnosis and psychic-type moves.

Charizard is experienced and also quite adept at dealing with hypnosis.

But when it comes to this, Gengar is the real expert!

Sabrina watched as the Gengar, which seemed somewhat familiar, made its appearance, and finally moved.

Her eyes lit up, and her thoughts connected with the consciousness of the Dream Eater.

Hypnosis.

"Suli!"

Having been personally trained by Naz to perfection several times, the Dream Eater dared not be negligent in the slightest.

It perked up and immediately picked up the ring and started shaking it.

Ripples spread outwards from the ring-shaped surface, enveloping Gengar directly in its direction.

Gengar was initially a little nervous.

After all, standing opposite her was Sabrina, the woman who made it suffer a great defeat when it battled Alakazam.

But when Gengar saw the Dream Eater holding up the ring and releasing that steady, standard hypnotic spell, it suddenly became bolder.

Hypnosis? That's all?

Gengar is the true master of hypnosis!

From its birth until now, how many years has it made a living with this skill!

Peeking out from the shadows, casting a hypnotic spell on a passing trainer, and stealing snacks from their backpack while they're asleep—

It could do this kind of business ten times better than the Dream Eater even with its eyes closed!

"Gengar!"

"Gag!"

Gengar immediately puffed out its round belly, put its two short arms on its sides, and stared straight at the ripples with its scarlet eyes!

A ghost and a human engage in a passionate battle.

One was shaking a hoop, the other was staring wide-eyed.

The audience in the stands held their breath, craning their necks to look at the center of the field.

Who won in the end?

"I can't believe it—Gengar is standing still."

"Did it work? It worked, didn't it? They've used so many layers of hypnosis—"
