Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

My senior Dong Yan is truly a treasure!

However, opening up the Spirit Realm battlefield when facing Ghost-type Pokémon opponents is a double-edged sword.

After all, the Ghost type is self-advantageous, and the move power is increased by 50%. If you also take into account the doubled effect of the super type advantage, the effect will be very obvious.

Either you instantly kill your opponent, or your opponent instantly kills you.

Knowing that Nanfeng had sent Gengar, Senior Dong Yan still had Dusknoir use "Temptation of the Endless Night" to set up the board. It has to be said that he was quite confident in himself.

That makes sense. As a powerful individual who is proficient in Ghost-type Pokémon and has even secured the position of Elite Four member, he is battling against Nanfeng, a trainer who only has one Ghost-type Pokémon.

Isn't it normal for me, Dong Yan, to be confident?

"Flower Rock Monster, Demon God Shadow!" Dong Yan launched another attack.

Instantly, a demonic figure emerged from the shadows behind the Flower Rock Monster, gradually solidifying into a physical form!

Unlike the "Great General" and "Minotaur" that Nanfeng had seen before, the Night Demon of the Flower Rock Monster did not even have a human form.

It's a black sunflower!

The black sunflower doesn't look up to find the sun; instead, it droops its head. Emmm... now that you mention it, Nanfeng thinks describing it as a "showerhead" in the bathroom would be more fitting.

Envious once again, Nanfeng also wanted to get a Demon Shadow for his Gengar. He couldn't help but imagine what it would look like if Gengar could also have a Demon Shadow.

Shadowball

The black sunflower immediately looked up and aimed at Gengar. A dark shadow began to condense in the center, and in the blink of an eye, a rectangular Shadow Ball large enough to instantly destroy a football field was successfully created.

But before the Shadow Ball could be launched, the Night Sunflower suddenly lost its target.

At some point, a faint gray smoke began to rise from the battlefield, obscuring everyone's vision. This made it difficult for Black Sunflower to locate Gengar.

Of course, it doesn't rely on its eyes to see. Black Sunflower is controlled by Rockruff, and since Rockruff has lost track of Gengar, Black Sunflower has naturally become blind.

Southwind with his hands in his pockets—this was naturally Gengar's doing.

Gengar is currently holding its signature Pokémon item, "Stealth Barrier".

Stealth Barrier (★★): Automatically activates the "Fog" weather effect upon entry. If the user does not take damage within 1 minute, a shield is automatically generated based on the user's level. When the weather is "Fog," the shield strength is doubled, and evasion rate is increased by 3 levels. (Exclusive to Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar; does not work when carried by other Pokémon).

As the mist spread, an invisible shield appeared on Gengar's body, enveloping it.

"Strange wind!" Dong Yan sensed something was wrong with the fog and immediately took measures to break the deadlock.

The Flower Rock Monster's body swayed slightly as a cold wind from the depths of the spirit realm swept over it, moving straight forward and dispelling the mist that was about to engulf it.

At this moment, the space behind the Flower Rock Monster suddenly trembled slightly.

The chubby purple creature repeated its trick, teleporting once more to dodge the strange wind and flash behind its opponent to launch an attack. This time, it was even more arrogant, not using its more powerful Shadow Ball, but instead throwing punches continuously with its chubby little hands.

"Shadow Fist!"

"Kuo Jie! (Wing Chun, Geng Wen~)"

"Fall!" Dong Yan suddenly roared.

The shadow sphere that had gathered on the black sunflower monster suddenly slid downwards.

By now, it's too late for Southwind's Gengar to run away.

The Rock Golem immediately used the move "Shadow Sneak Attack".

Two thick, black vines emerged from the shadow beneath Gengar's feet, binding it tightly. In this state, it couldn't even use Teleport.

They could only watch helplessly as the massive shadow orb slid down from above until it completely engulfed them.

437. Gengar's Pinnacle Battle

The massive shadow sphere landed, instantly evaporating half of the battlefield.

The energy of the shadows spilled out, like black flames teasing the sky.

"Is it really necessary..." Nanfeng clicked his tongue, unable to understand why Senior Dong Yan would choose such a suicidal fighting style.

Is it because Rockruff is resistant to Ghost that Gengar can trade damage?

The Shadow Ball fell, and even the Rockruff, the one who released it, couldn't escape its fate. After all, this isn't a game.

However, his own Gengar is not so easy to defeat.

The shadows slowly unfolded, revealing the ravaged earth.

The Flower Rock Monster originally only showed signs of dizziness in one eye, but now it has dizziness in both eyes.

Without a doubt, it was defeated by its own Shadow Ball. Normally, if it had simply taken the hit head-on from its own Shadow Ball, Rockruff wouldn't have been instantly killed, as it has no weaknesses. However, Gengar's Shadow Punch wasn't just for show.

Meanwhile, Nanfeng's Pokémon, the chubby Gengar, was grinning, surrounded by mist. The purple chubby boy's hands were covered in shattered rune rings, turning into a purplish-gold color.

Even after the stealth barrier's shield blocked the damage, it was still injured inside the Shadow Orb, losing approximately 25% of its health. 180

The king's appearance has entered the first stage.

King's Appearance (75%): Increases all stats by 10%, and increases the power of Ghost and Poison type moves by 10%.

"Hehehehe!!" Gengar chuckled and teleported back to Southwind's side.

"Is Nanfeng's Gengar a Shiny Pokémon?" Peng Dou frowned and thought carefully. He had just seen Gengar as an ordinary Pokémon, but now it had gold markings on its body, making it look like a Shiny Pokémon.

"Hmm, I guess so," Li Yan silently took out his glasses and put them on.

As the opponent, Dong Yan frowned. Under such a huge Shadow Ball, Gengar, which was weak to Ghost, was not injured, while Rockruff, which was not weak to Ghost, was instantly killed by his own move.

So, what exactly did Southwind's Gengar do when Shadow Ball was about to hit?

Moreover, what made him even more wary was that Nanfeng's Gengar had become stronger once again.

Despite being attacked, it did not lose its momentum; instead, it became even stronger, and the oppressive aura emanating from it towards Ghost-type Pokémon intensified.

this.

Dong Yan turned his gaze to the talisman that had dyed Gengar purple-gold.

It seems that the talisman's function is not just to seal its power, but probably also has special abilities that it is unaware of.

Dong Yan's hand brushed against his waist, and for the first time, he hesitated about which Pokémon to send out next.

Finally, Dong Yan's finger stopped on the last Poké Ball.

"Gengar, I can only ask you for help," Dong Yan said, throwing out a Poké Ball.

The Pokémon that appeared was his trump card, also a Gengar.

This Gengar is nothing special, just like any other Gengar. It's not a Totem Pokémon, nor a Shiny Pokémon, and its breeding doesn't seem to have anything particularly outstanding about it. But it is the trump card of "King Yama" Dong Yan.

"Kuha!" Dong Yan's Gengar grinned, and his chubby little hand beckoned to Nan Feng's purple-gold chubby little guy.

provocative?

The lilac Gengar raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I can stand this injustice?"

Just wait, I'll kill you right now!

"Finally, I've reached the ace level," Nanfeng rubbed his chin and silently revealed the Z-enhanced bracelet.

"Gengar, Mega Evolve!"

A layer of seven-colored light flashed across Gengar's body, and Gengar transformed into Mega Gengar.

Facing Dong Yan's Gengar, their own Gengar is definitely at a level disadvantage. Rather than continuing to play the underdog game, it's better to simply Mega Evolve to boost its combat power.

But Dong Yan was not careless at all and followed closely behind.

MEGA Evolution

On the battlefield, two Mega Gengars stand facing each other. This is an extremely rare sight even in the world of trainers.

Two identical spirits, burdened with completely different (adag) bonds, yet they fight in the same way.

Both Nanfeng and Dongyan tacitly refrained from using Dynamax.

For a Pokémon like Gengar, which excels in speed, Dynamaxing can sometimes be a hindrance.

"Shadow Ball! Nanfeng and Dongyan launched their attacks simultaneously."

The two Gengar attacked each other at the same time, but even though the move was the same—Shadow Ball—the way they released the move was different.

As Gengar raised its hand, more than twenty Shadow Balls behind it bombarded the area like shooting stars with dazzling trails of flame.

Dong Yan's Gengar raised its hands and suddenly slammed them down into the air. Instantly, countless fist-sized spatial holes appeared in the space behind it, and purplish-black ghost-type energy burst out from the holes.

The sky was filled with purplish-black streams of light.

Each streak of light was no less powerful than Gengar's Shadow Ball; in fact, it was even stronger.

but...

You call this a Shadowball?

Where's the ball?

I'd accept anything with a spherical shape. But this... don't call it Shadow Sphere, I'll name it Shadow Wave.

The Shadow Ball of the Purple Gold Gengar was immediately covered and annihilated by the overwhelming Shadow Waves!

Seeing this, Nanfeng had to admit that Dong Yan's Gengar was more than a level above his own Gold Gengar, and it wasn't just about the Shadow Ball move; more accurately, it was about the depth of their accumulated strength.

I haven't had enough time to raise Gengar myself.

The purple-gold Gengar's skill proficiency, energy control, and level are all inferior to Senior Dong Yan's Gengar.

However, it's not time to give up yet.

"Get out of the way!" Nanfeng commanded.

Following the command, Dong Yan, under the command of "Shadow Sneak Attack," was determined to press his advantage and completely suppress Gengar.

Two thick, shadowy arms suddenly emerged from the soil beneath Gengar, grabbing at it in mid-air!

It was as thick as a giant's arm.

Compared to the shadow arms of Dusknoir and Rockruff, Gengar's shadow arms are several times larger, and one hand can hold a purple Gengar in its palm.

"Instant teleportation!" Nanfeng shouted softly.

The golden Gengar immediately teleported behind Dong Yan's Gengar and fired a Shadow Ball straight at its back.

The moves used to defeat the Night Demon and the Flower Rock Monster are performed once again.

But this time, the results were not as good as the previous two times.

"Shadow Sneak Attack," Dong Yan repeated his previous instructions.

A shocking scene unfolded: on Gengar's back, two shadowy arms extended like a pair of wings, catching the teleporting Gengar squarely.

"Shadow of the Demon God!" A cold light flashed in Dong Yan's eyes; this attack was meant to kill!

A dark-skinned general wielding a Guan Dao (a type of halberd) rose from the darkness.

His halberd flashed, his fiery gaze locked onto the golden Gengar, and he swooped down for a powerful strike!

438, unleash your full fighting power and become the king!

In a place where the south wind cannot see.

With a devastating strike, the island was split in two. Towering waves surged outwards, sweeping across the ocean as if a bomb had been dropped, causing it to churn and tremble.

On the battlefield, the soil of the spirit realm cracked and distorted, and the space itself showed signs of shattering, spreading outwards.

The Demon God Shadow General's strike nearly shattered the spirit realm battlefield environment constructed by the Night Demon Spirit.

Beneath the blade, the super-gold Gengar lay on a shattered, twisted landscape, catching the blade bare-handed!

At the last moment, it activated the "Protect" move, but both the Protect move and the shield that would naturally form a minute later were shattered by this one strike. The Mega Gengar could only maintain the "Protect" pose with its two energy arms shaped like shockwaves, looking like it was catching a blade with its bare hands.

Seeing that the Mega Gengar hadn't lost its ability to battle, Dong Yan was somewhat surprised, and also deeply wary: "To be able to survive a single strike from my ace Gengar's Demon Shadow, you're the first Ghost-type Pokémon to do so!"

"To have achieved this level in just one year of training, Nanfeng, you truly have the potential to become a champion, and even the leader of the Pokémon world..."

Nanfeng did not answer. He breathed a slight sigh of relief. At the last moment, he did not have time to give orders. He issued commands entirely through the bond, with the help of the power of the wave guide.

Even so, the Mega Gengar is probably already on its last legs.

"Come back first," Nanfeng said softly.
