Chapter 1215 The Appearance of a Ghost King
Interchangeable features?
Kashiwagi was taken aback.
The [Download] trait only takes effect upon entering the battlefield, and [Pick Up] is not a negative trait either, so swapping them makes no sense.
Ok?
He suddenly realized that when the pumpkin monster, which responded in sync with the command, started its attack, it was not radiating a pinkish-purple glow, but rather a faint black aura.
It's a curse!
Jie Jie Jie Jie!
A sinister laugh echoed through the night, and countless ghostly figures flew out of the pumpkin monster's body and vanished into thin air.
Upon seeing this, Polygon II immediately spun around in place with its clone, and then dispersed in two directions!
While a substitute cannot prevent the curse from taking effect, if used properly, it can be used to confuse the opponent, making it more versatile than in the game.
What's more...
Polygon II is a clone!
Kashiwagi shifted his gaze back to Karuni and said loudly, "A trick?"
"I heard you have very sensitive hearing, so I couldn't resist trying it out, and it's true!"
Karuni partially covered her red lips, her smile somewhat alluring.
Compared to Kashiwagi, who would do anything to win a battle, she rarely does anything that would make a Pokémon do something contrary to her verbal commands.
Isn't this just pure curiosity?
Karune was eager to find out more about Kashiwagi's many amazing qualities through a private battle.
The purpose of this battle was both to satisfy the desire to fight against strong opponents and to gather practical intelligence.
Watching countless videos and reading countless materials is no substitute for actually playing a game!
The two Porygonians II ran off in different directions, one of them quickly approaching the Pumpkin Monster, its body crackling with electricity.
The Pumpkin Monster naturally wouldn't let its opponent get close, so it used the moonlight and the dark night shrouded in clouds to create a shadow and conceal its form.
At the same time, a hidden curse emerged, and a large force of curses split up to chase after the one that approached the pumpkin monster.
The saying goes, "All's fair in war." When it's impossible to determine which one is the real one, it's best to remain still. But once Polygon II reveals its move, they will naturally rush over like sharks smelling blood.
Even the Pumpkin Monster's true form was rapidly approaching the Stand due to the electric current on Polygon II's body.
Kashiwagi smiled.
You like collecting information, right?
Collect as many as you want!
"Discharge!"
"Beep!!"
The eyes of Polymon II, which were regarded as a Stand by Karune and Pumpkin Monster, were fierce, like a bulging power bank that suddenly burst open!
Om-! !
A blue-green current instantly illuminated the dim beach, and the intense heat emanating from the lightning obliterated the cursed shadows, while simultaneously revealing the lurking pumpkin monster, whose body convulsed uncontrollably!
Karuni was speechless. "Were we tricked?"
Seeing the Stand emitting electricity, she assumed it was the real person, but it turned out the other one was the real person!
Kashiwagi returned the smile, "Likewise."
Seeing this, Karuni was not angry; instead, she laughed even more happily.
"Bang!"
The pumpkin monster quickly retreated, choking blue smoke rising from its body.
Fortunately, it is a Grass-type, which makes it resistant to Electric-type attacks, otherwise it would have been defeated by Porygon II's Special Attack move, which was boosted by downloading.
Even so, it couldn't help but gasp for breath in exhaustion.
Having fought a fierce battle with the sun coral and just now used a curse that reduces stamina by half, it's truly remarkable that they managed to hold on.
We must find a way to suck on the Polygon II to restore our health.
But soon, something else happened that surprised it and Karuni.
The curse worked!
Karuni looked at the other Porygon II, which was shrouded in black energy, and raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"Two true forms?"
If her opponent weren't a champion, she would have seriously doubted that she was actually battling two Porygon IIs.
Kashiwagi said, "The answer is very close. Let's guess carefully again in a bit."
After he finished speaking, both Porygonians II moved.
"The wave of evil."
"Crack!"
The spherical Polygon II locks onto the Pumpkin Monster, who tries to dodge, but electricity inexplicably surges from its body.
Paralysis!
Karuni's open mouth slowly closed.
The next instant, countless jet-black spheres shimmering with iridescent light shot out, instantly engulfing the immobilized pumpkin monster.
boom! !
A choking sandstorm was blowing!
The sea breeze quickly cleaned the beach again.
The pumpkin monster lay supine in a shallow pit.
Karuni withdrew it, her gaze shifting between the two Polymorph IIs. Suddenly, one of them rippled with black energy, its face contorted in pain, before exploding with a loud "poof."
"A substitute that can use techniques?"
She finally understood.
Kashiwagi smiled without saying a word, leaving the details to your guess!
Karune received no response and said in a resentful tone, "Answering questions about Pokémon is the Champion's responsibility, you know."
"I'd be happy to battle other trainers, but battling a champion? Wouldn't offering to answer their questions be an underestimation of their expertise?"
He said with a smile.
Karuni's tone became even more resentful, "What a stingy man... *pfft*."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then she took a deep breath and said easily, "It's been a long time since I've had such an interesting match. Thank you, Kashiwagi."
Is it interesting?
Bai Mu, still puzzled, asked again, "How was the battle against Dan Di?"
"Dan Di... to be honest, fighting him is like being burned by a blazing flame, too dazzling and too intense."
Karuni considered her tone for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's still more interesting to fight against you."
He met the gaze of Polygon II and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
The third one, and also the last one to be battled tonight.
Karuni chose the Wrestling Hawkman.
Not using Gardevoir?
Kashiwagi raised an eyebrow, and Karen seemed to sense his confusion, saying frankly, "I prefer to save my expectations for the day of the official match."
"alright."
He slowly retrieved the Poké Ball he had chosen, stepped on the shadow beside his feet, and said, "Let's go."
"Gengga? Gengga!"
The shiny Gengar popped its head out in surprise.
Polygon II sadly exits the stage, reverting back to its original mobile phone form.
The Pokémon's ability to change shape at will caught Karune's eye, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "What a convenient Pokémon!"
"necessary!"
Kashiwagi gave a thumbs up, "Polygon II is amazing! The king of smartphones!"
Karuni covered her mouth with one hand and clutched her stomach with the other, laughing so hard she could hardly contain herself.
She grew increasingly fond of this seemingly aloof and distant young man who was actually polite and lively.
not far away.
The numb Minami's eyes brightened slightly.
Is there... a chance?
But she quickly deflated, finding it hard to imagine how two combative individuals could form the family of her dreams.
Even if both of them are good-looking, it's unlikely that a magic trick like those in romance dramas would happen to either of them.
For example, a domineering CEO falls in love with me, and I'm willing to risk everything for a beautiful woman...
Minami scratched her head in frustration.
-
The final battle took place quietly.
Hawkman gazed at Gengar and launched the first attack without hesitation.
"provocative!"
"Lugi!"
It suddenly shook its loose feathered tent and turned to look at its opponent with a disdainful gaze.
Gengar instinctively closed its eyes, intending to dive into another dimension, but the provocation took effect extremely quickly.
In the blink of an eye, its body was shrouded in dark light.
"Genga?"
Gengar was a little confused.
It didn't even feel angry at all, so how did it suddenly get caught in the trap?
Karuni smiled and said, "There are other ways to provoke someone besides just making them angry."
The Pokémon anime world is never confined to the text format of the games.
Her wrestling eagle man move can be made effective by taking advantage of the opponent's "cowardice" when they try to avoid a provocation.
"哓GA!"
The Gengar from another dimension was startled.
I can't believe such a thing happened!
Kashiwagi's expression remained unchanged. In some ways, Karune also possessed abilities that were no less than those of top-tier Coordinators.
It's perfectly normal for her to be able to make some unexpected changes to her moves.
"Don't panic, you have more than just variations."
He calmed Gengar down.
In the past, our side had always been the ones to outmaneuver our opponents, but that was ultimately due to superior strength.
Now that their opponent is a veteran champion, it's time for them to suffer a setback.
Eating it occasionally can also help improve one's stress resistance and prevent one from panicking and being unable to make a move in a similar situation in a future official competition.
Karune couldn't find Gengar's trail, but she remained calm. "Feather Dance!"
"Lugi!"
The Wrestling Eagleman leaped high into the air, his powerful body spinning in place, suddenly releasing a large amount of feathers that covered a vast area of the beach.
It sensed Gengar emerging from the other dimension immediately.
"Lugi!"
Thick black smoke brushed past its face.
Gengar suffered another setback, its brows furrowed tightly as it looked back at its trainer, seemingly trying to say something.
Kashiwa knew it wanted to super-evolve.
If it undergoes super evolution, it will be able to travel between dimensions more frequently and easily, without worrying that the Wrestling Hawkman can easily discover it.
However, the trainer refused with his eyes.
Since Karuni hadn't used any of the systems, Kashiwagi didn't want to touch them either.
This isn't an open tournament; getting to know your opponents is more important than winning.
Gengar reluctantly lowered its gaze, its keen senses allowing it to swiftly dodge the Hawkman's hand strike.
"哓GA!"
It glared angrily at its opponent, and suddenly spewed out a large amount of foul-smelling mud from its mouth.
【Sludge Wave】!
Snore snore—
The swamp, like surging waves, covered a large area of the beach in the blink of an eye, causing the wrestler, who was about to land, to spin around and return to the air to glide.
That kick might just get me poisoned!
"哓GA!"
Gengar remained in the foul-smelling swamp, looking up at the Hawkman above with a defiant gaze.
Come down here if you dare!
Karune exclaimed, "You're preventing my Pokémon from returning to the ground?"
As the saying goes, "power comes from the ground," and most Fighting-type Pokémon rely heavily on their landing point when unleashing physical moves.
They are used to leveraging external forces to exert 100% of their strength.
Gengar's actions undoubtedly made Hawkman very uncomfortable.
It's by no means impossible to fight!
"Brave Bird Attack!"
"Lugi!"
It suddenly fell from a great height, its body ablaze with sky-blue flames, transforming into a soaring bird of fire.
Chirp—!
The sound of air friction was like the sharp cry of an eagle!
Bang!
A powerful shockwave rolled in, and countless mudslides flew like raindrops, clearing a clean environment for the Hawkman's landing spot.
This is because before the Hawkman even touched the ground, the flight energy on its body first dispersed the mud on the ground!
Kashiwagi's gaze was deep and unfathomable. "Let's fight!"
"哓GA!"
Gengar emerged from the other side of the Hawkman.
Having lost its variation moves and unable to Mega Evolve, it can no longer use many unpredictable tactics. Although its combat power seems to have been greatly reduced, in reality, there is not much difference.
It is only because it was too conservative in the past that it became extremely reliant on changing its moves.
Why is Gengar called the Ghost King in the game?
Excellent characteristics are one thing, but terrifying output capability is another!
In a head-to-head contest, it holds its own against any competitor!
What's there to be afraid of!
hum!
A burst of brilliant colored light suddenly erupted from it, like a dazzling neon ball!
Just as the Wrestling Eagle finished his move and leaped into the air, he was unable to dodge the direct impact of the magical flash!
"Lugi!"
Bang!
The Hawkman was suddenly blasted away and fell into the sea with a splash. It took him a full two seconds to break through the water and return to the sky.
It looked at its opponent with suspicion and uncertainty.
Wow, so fast! Even faster!
In just a few exchanges, Hawkman realized that apart from his initial taunt that tricked Gengar, he hadn't gained much advantage over his opponent.
Not only were its own attacks repeatedly dodged, but it was even caught off guard by a gap in its attack and was given a precise strike.
Karuni noticed this as well, and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
"He possesses such power without undergoing super evolution?"
"哓GA!"
Gengar, who had been eavesdropping, loudly agreed with her words.
That's right!
What a weird mechanism!
It's clearly a stat-based monster! It can perfectly defeat its opponent without needing to change its moves!
It's really powerful!
Gengar leaped forward and charged at Hawkman, who was startled and quickly extended his black hand blade.
Hell Thrust!
—No luck!
Under the cover of darkness, the ghost Pokémon moves with an eerie grace, and no mere Fighting-type Pokémon could possibly catch it!
Just like with Kashiwagi earlier, it's equally difficult to catch the Pumpkin Monster.
"Giggle!"
Gengar let out an angry roar, and its eyes, which were located beside the Wrestling Hawkman, lit up with a pinkish-purple light.
An invisible spiritual force enveloped it, rendering the Fighting-type Pokémon unable to move.
next moment.
Thoughts drifted.
Its body was pulled by an invisible force and crashed into the sea!
"Lugi!"
The wrestler was stunned by the fall; it was disoriented after being thrown into the sea and was unable to break through the surface for a long time.
Gengar seized the opportunity to finish it off, floating to the surface of the sea and unleashing [Dazzling Gleam]!
hum!
The brilliant colored light illuminated the entire sea, causing Karuni to turn her head and close her eyes.
"A relentless offensive... their tactics are truly diverse."
Previously, Kashiwagi had impressed her with his varied fighting style, but now he was launching a relentless barrage of attacks. "Hawkman Wrestler! Charge out!"
"Huh? It hasn't fallen yet?"
Upon hearing the sound, Cypress looked towards the sea.
With the advantage of the terrain and three attacks of a type that are super effective against it, even if they are not STAB moves, it should be enough to defeat it, right?
Unexpectedly, the Hawkman was more resilient than he and Gengar had anticipated.
Bang!
It crashed through the sea, defying the colorful light, and gritted its teeth as it threw a punch at Gengar!
Hell Thrust!
"Genga?"
Gengar let out an incredulous scream and was sent flying like a gray balloon, its Magic Dazzle abruptly ending.
Pfft!
Gengar fell onto the beach, and Hawkman returned to the sea.
Karuni gazed at the gloomy sea, "Feathered Descent!"
no respond.
She looked at him knowingly. "You won."
"Heh..."
Upon hearing this, Gengar struggled to get up, but a strong sense of weakness emanated from within.
The Wrestling Hawkman's Hell Thrust, delivered in his final moments, was too powerful. Coupled with his already extremely fragile nature, he was forced to withstand this desperate blow and was nearly killed instantly.
Fortunately, there was no accident.
Gengar lay prone, clutching its chest as if it were spitting blood.
Even though he's almost unable to fight, this guy still wants to act silly.
Kashiwagi felt somewhat helpless, but he had no choice but to step forward and praise him, "Well done, at least you haven't forgotten your original strength."
"Hehehe~"
Upon hearing this, Gengar stopped pretending and looked back at its trainer with a grin.
Karuni retrieved the floating eagle-wrestler from the beach, came to their side, and said, "It was a wonderful battle, perfect for after-dinner entertainment."
She glanced at Bai Mu's waist. "But you haven't even used half of your strength, have you?"
"Each each other."
Kashiwagi responded in kind.
In some ways, the champions from various regions are somewhat similar to Alain.
Their ace often possesses power that surpasses that of the other team members.
Karen's Mega Gardevoir is her core Pokémon, which she is famous for and represents nearly half of her strength.
It's a real shame I couldn't fight it tonight.
Karuni stretched and said, "You're very strong, much stronger than me."
Although it was just a simple three-on-three match, the difference in skill level was already quite evident.
but……
“Being stronger than you doesn’t mean you’ll have the last laugh. Is that what you mean?” Kashiwagi understood Karuni’s subtext.
The actress smiled and extended her index finger, intending to cover Bai Mu's lips, indicating that she knew but wouldn't say anything. However, the latter dodged it very quickly.
A hint of resentment returned to her eyes. "What an unromantic man."
"I just don't want to be photographed by paparazzi."
Cypress said solemnly.
Minami stepped forward and complained, "Why did you two start fighting so easily? This isn't a private area."
She gestured for the two of them to look around.
Karuni belatedly realized that a number of people were standing in the distance, all watching them.
She looked at Kashiwagi in surprise again, "You already found out?"
"more or less."
He gave vague answers.
With his perception abilities, he naturally noticed the first person when they appeared.
Fortunately, there were no streetlights on the beach, so people in the distance could hardly see them, and there was no need to hide them too much.
The three turned and went back to the villa, where Blissey Nurse came online to treat the injured Pokémon of both sides.
Because they held back in the roadside fight, everyone recovered quickly.
The Hawkman shook its feathers and immediately went to Gengar, shouting, "Ruge!"
It didn't understand why its attacks were always dodged, and why there was such a big difference in their reaction speeds.
"Genga?"
Gengar looked at it blankly, but when it understood the other party's purpose, its smile immediately turned warm.
The chubby gray man casually hooked his arm around the other's shoulder, picked up a handheld game console, and shook it, making a "crunch-crunch" sound.
"Lugi?"
The Hawkman was confused.
I already said it was from playing games!
Gengar enthusiastically described the benefits of playing games to it, such as improving reaction speed and mental fortitude.
It's like playing a game only has benefits and no drawbacks.
The wrestler instinctively didn't quite believe it, but then he thought about the fight he had just had and looked at the screen on the game console.
other side……
It's unlikely that I'm deceiving myself, is it?
Amidst Gengar's eerie cackling laughter, Hawlucha stretched out its claws toward the game console.
A road of no return has begun.
