Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Last time you were just a little brother, how come you're so strong now?!

Ash frowned, clearly sensing Alakazam's progress.

"Since a regular Shadow Ball can't beat..." His voice suddenly turned serious, "Gengar! Let's use that move then!"

Since we can't compete with numbers, let's make up for it with science!

Gengar responded, his shocked expression vanishing, and he clasped his hands together again.

This time, the Shadow Sphere's condensation speed slowed down significantly, and the purplish-black energy was compressed little by little.

Fine, crack-like patterns began to appear on the surface of the sphere, with light shining through the gaps, as if it were about to burst open at any moment!

Naz's eyelashes trembled.

Her danger foresight was triggered, and sensing the power of this attack, she made a decisive move.

"Interrupt it!"

Suddenly, Alakazam pointed the silver spoon in its left hand at Gengar.

A psychic force almost visible to the naked eye swept across the battlefield, transparent with a faint blue halo, and struck precisely the still-forming Shadow Ball in Gengar's palm!

boom--!

A loud bang.

The already unstable Shadow Ball was forcibly disrupted by external force, causing it to shatter between Gengar's palms!

Hudi gave them no chance to catch their breath.

Its right hand, holding a silver spoon, rose high again, and its psychic power surged like a tidal wave, lifting the Gengar, which had been blasted away, into the air.

Its purplish-black body hung in mid-air, its limbs drooping helplessly, as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed the back of its neck and lifted it up.

As Hudi pressed his wrist down—

Gengar was slammed hard into the ground!

The wind is howling!

At the critical moment, Ash spoke up again.

"Sneak Attack by a Hidden Spirit!"

With Ash's command, Gengar's body subconsciously became ethereal just before it touched the ground.

Not only did they break free from control, but they also stepped into the spirit world!

next moment.

Ten meters away in mid-air, space distorted, and Gengar's figure re-emerged from a rippling wave, looking at Alakazam with apprehension.

Xiao Zhi's commands never stopped.

"In that case... let's use Black Mist on it!"

"Gag!"

With a wave of its hand, Gengar unleashed a thick, inky mist.

It then spread across the area where Gengar was at an incredible speed, swallowing up the view and leaving the audience with only a surging darkness.

Sabrina simply tilted her head slightly, her gaze precisely fixed on the location of Gengar.

"That kind of trick..." A cold smile played at the corners of her lips, "Won't work on me."

After all, as a superhuman, her senses aren't limited to just her eyes!

Superpowers spread out like a spider web, precisely sweeping across every corner of the battlefield.

Gengar's current location was clearly displayed in her consciousness linked to Alakazam!

People with superpowers can do whatever they want!

"there!"

"Whoosh!"

Hudi attacked without hesitation!

The silver key flipped, gathering telekinetic energy, and crashed down in the direction Sabrina indicated!

boom--!

The psychic attack aimed at Gengar's location, but it missed.

Naz was stunned.

The superpowers swept across the battlefield again, but the spot where Gengar had just been was now empty.

Scan again, still nothing.

On the entire battlefield, the purplish-black figure seemed to have vanished into thin air, completely disappearing from her perception range!

But how is that possible?!

"Ah...of course we know that."

Behind the churning black mist, the boy grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"But my and Gengar's purpose isn't to deceive your senses!"

"Gag!"

Before Naz could figure it out...

The next instant, at Hu Di's feet, in the long, thin shadow cast by the sunlight, a purplish-black outline silently swelled.

Gengar suddenly leaped out of Alakazam's shadow!

Between its hands, a shadow sphere compressed to its limit was bursting with dazzling black light!

Seeing this familiar scene, the VIP spectators watched.

The four figures turned their heads in unison, their gazes falling on Kikuko, who was laughing heartily.

--roar?

—Through shadow displacement? Isn't that your Gengar's signature move!

How did Xiaozhi learn that?

—You old codger, you did it too?!

On the field, Sabrina's pupils contracted sharply as she watched Gengar slam the Shadow Ball into Alakazam's back.

"—!"

Without the slightest hesitation, not wanting to lose, and not wanting to lose to Ash, the blue light around her surged!

The aura of the Hu region also surged!

Seeing that Alakazam was unable to react, Sabrina skillfully took over Alakazam's will.

Alakazam's pupils were instantly filled with blue light, and its hands instinctively rose up.

The psychic shield activated at the critical moment!

"boom--!!!!"

The shadow orb slammed into the shield's surface, emitting a piercing, sharp sound.

The energy surged, creating ripples of purple-blue that spread in all directions!

A flash of light.

The shield successfully blocked its fatal blow!

Gengar: "?!"

It was bounced back several meters by the recoil before it staggered and regained its balance.

Looking up at Alakazam, Gengar's crimson eyes initially widened in surprise, but upon seeing Alakazam's current demeanor, they quickly turned to relief.

It was wondering how the other side was able to react so quickly; it turned out that Sabrina had taken over!

That's not surprising.

That's not surprising!

Gengar glanced at Ash, then stared at Alakazam, who had once again activated its psychic powers, for a moment.

With a look of disdain, Gengar grinned and gave it and Sabrina the middle finger!

Alakazam's lips twitched; it seemed to want to respond, but Sabrina didn't give it the chance.

The silver spoon was swung forward.

boom--!

A mental shockwave, almost solidified, crashed down!

Gengar, who attacked again with the wave, didn't even have time to dodge.

His entire body was blasted away and finally sank into the wall at the end of the battlefield!

Smoke and dust billowed, and gravel fell in a flurry.

Its purplish-black body slid down the wall, its eyes now transformed into two swirling circles!

"Gengar is unable to battle! Alakazam wins!"

As the referee made his decision, sighs of disappointment rose and fell from the stands.

"What a pity..."

"Yes, it's a pity. That surprise attack from the shadows was just too brilliant; it almost succeeded."

"So close! Just a tiny bit more!"

In the end, Alakazam proved to be the stronger one!

Just a moment ago, everyone thought the game was about to turn around, but Sabrina's final burst of superpowers was simply too unreasonable.

Ash took out a Poké Ball, recalled Gengar, and looked down at the Poké Ball.

"Gengar, I have truly witnessed your efforts."
