Mega Blaziken's speed reached levels that could only be described as "impossible to react to."
The Speed Boost ability had accumulated boosts from three consecutive battles, enhanced by Mega Evolution, and now further amplified by Agility.
When Mega Blaziken's kick connected with Mega Absol, its body went rigid like a piece of wood. In the split second between impact and result, sparks flew as the devastating blow landed.
"BOOM!" Another crater appeared in the already cracked wall behind Sidney.
Mega Absol reverted from its Mega Evolution, sliding down like a defeated animal.
"Absol is unable to battle! Blaziken wins!" the referee announced the decisive result.
Sidney's expression immediately shifted from confident to utterly stunned.
His Mega Absol had been hit by an attack?
The battle had seemed evenly matched just moments before, so how had it suddenly ended in a one-shot defeat?
He couldn't understand it!
There was nothing difficult to understand about it, really.
Chris silently adjusted his nonexistent glasses.
It wasn't particularly challenging to defeat a Mega Absol with a single kick.
Absol's Mega Evolution only enhanced its offensive capabilities and overall performance. It remained essentially a fragile Pokemon that could be knocked out quickly, and as a Dark-type, it was vulnerable to Blaziken's Fighting-type moves.
Blaze Kick combined with Fighting-type effectiveness—was it really so hard to defeat a Mega Absol?
Sidney, having lost his ace Pokemon, was thoroughly defeated. He had already lost half his fighting spirit and abandoned any thoughts of defeating Chris. Now he could only think about how to restore some dignity by at least taking down Mega Blaziken.
Unfortunately, even that hope was futile.
The supercharged Mega Blaziken only continued growing stronger.
One Pokemon sweeping through six—Chris had easily defeated Sidney.
"Before you arrived here, I heard your name mentioned by trainers from various gyms. I thought you would just be an excellent up-and-coming trainer, but I never imagined you possessed such incredible strength," Sidney admitted with a sigh, stepping aside to clear the path.
te at Level 85.
A black doll Pokemon with a metal zipper across its mouth. Legend says they're born from old dolls discarded by children, with curse energy seeping into the abandoned toy's cotton stuffing.
Powerful grudges transform the doll into a Pokemon.
Highly aggressive by nature!
Chris's Pokemon was Gengar.
There aren't many types that can effectively counter Ghost-types—only Dark-types and Ghost-types themselves.
A Ghost-type Pokemon, equally elusive and mysterious, would definitely provide superior type matchup advantages against Ghost-types compared to other Pokemon types, assuming sufficient strength!
"Heh heh~~" The little purple round Pokemon bobbed excitedly in mid-air.
This was the first time its trainer had sent it into a formal high-level battle.
The referee confirmed both sides were ready and immediately gave the signal.
"Battle begin!"
"Banette, use Night Shade!" Phoebe attacked first. She was somewhat irritated that Chris dared to challenge her Ghost-type specialization with a Ghost-type Pokemon of his own. Moreover, as a Ghost-type Elite, she immediately sensed something extraordinary about Chris's Gengar.
However, what was puzzling was that three seconds after issuing the command, nothing happened.
Phoebe quickly looked at her Banette, wondering why it wasn't following her instructions.
She saw Banette staring at Gengar with a terrified expression, trembling all over. Far from executing its trainer's command to use Night Shade, it was struggling just to avoid collapsing to its knees.
What was happening?
Was Banette actually afraid of Gengar, or even paralyzed by fear?
Why?
This bizarre scene left Phoebe completely bewildered.
Chris wasn't entirely certain either, but he had some theories.
"This might be related to Gengar's special status."
Gengar's name carried two significant designations.
One was "Ancient," and the other was "King."
Chris had initially thought Gengar's "King" title referred to being the "King of the Hisui Region" from the games, but now it seemed this might actually mean "King of Ghost-type Pokemon."
Perhaps the "King" designation also granted the ability to command other Pokemon of the same type.
"Gengar, use Shadow Ball!"
"Heh heh~" Gengar chuckled mischievously, slowly forming a Shadow Ball and floating it in front of Banette. Like a king bestowing poisoned wine upon a subject, it pressed the Shadow Ball toward the terrified Pokemon.
"Banette, dodge!" Phoebe commanded desperately.
However, Banette seemed unable to hear her, standing frozen as the dark energy penetrated its body.
"Banette is unable to battle! Gengar wins!"
