Chapter 1345
Inside the dirty ice sculpture, Galarian Corsola left a "legacy".
Countless sharp stone thorns emerged out of thin air and disappeared quickly.
But at the same time, a thick black smoke suddenly bulged, covering the arena at an extremely fast speed.
Even if All Baimu pressed the switch at an extremely fast speed, the light was still blocked by the black fog.
It's 【Smokescreen】!
"Not that easy~"
Cynthia, who had predicted the opponent's intention, smiled.
In front of her was Spiritomb, which was trying its best to extend the 108 evil souls forward, finally reaching a length of half an arena.
This guy seems to be sealed in a stone, but in fact, the essence of the soul will not be firmly locked above the seal stone and can extend outward freely.
At most, there are some distance restrictions.
At critical moments, it can also make itself fly, of course, the movement speed can't be fast either.
"Well done!"
The guest room cheered. After all, Sinnoh is Cynthia's home court, and the Trainers who can be invited are naturally biased toward Cynthia.
Caitlin looked expectant. At this time, the smoke not only made All Baimu unable to exchange but also blocked his vision.
Good opportunity!
A rare good opportunity!
Judging from All Baimu's past battle experience, being able to predict his plan and stop it could potentially take him down in one wave!
Cynthia ordered quickly, "Hypnosis."
She knew that with Corsola's durability, the effect of a direct attack might not be so good, just like Corsola had never used an attack move directly when hitting Milotic.
Side attack is the kingly way!
And it seems that she is almost like she is going to fight with this, and she must let Corsola be hypnotized once.
All Baimu looked at the gray smoke that hadn't dissipated for a long time, and said quickly without changing his expression, "Protect!"
Without the Trainer saying much, Corsola, who had a strong desire to survive, opened Protect early, just in time to block the hypnotic light wave from Spiritomb.
The bright blue light shield trembled, and there was a possibility of going out at any time.
The ferocious face of the opponent was close at hand, and Corsola suddenly let out an unprecedented loud cry, "Sang ne!!"
All Baimu outside the smoke received the Pokémon's information and quickly prepared for an exchange.
Sure enough, the next second, the thick black smoke floating in the venue suddenly dissipated, revealing Spiritomb, which had extended its soul true body, and Corsola, which was still embedded in the huge ice block.
All Baimu stood on the edge of the Trainer's seat with one foot, tilted his body, and shot the return beam quickly. The posture was so tricky that it was as if he was about to throw the Poké Ball, making many viewers and commentators stunned.
This also works?
"As expected of the cunning King of Change!"
He refreshed people's cognition of Pokémon battles time and time again, making everyone clearly realize that the cooperation between Trainer and Pokémon is not just about commands and tacit understanding, but also about the Trainer's physical movements.
Cynthia quickly reminded Spiritomb to adjust the angle, and it also subconsciously deflected the circling evil soul, trying to block the path between Corsola and All Baimu again.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Corsola took advantage of the gap when 【Protect】 disappeared and drove away the smoke sprayed by Spiritomb, just for this moment.
And Spiritomb failed to stand in position in advance, and blocking the passage between All Baimu and Corsola was its dereliction of duty.
In the blink of an eye, the return beam hit, the new Poké Ball opened, and the exchange was completed at an extremely fast speed!
The whole audience was silent for a moment, and then cheers and applause erupted!
"Too amazing!"
"This can also be exchanged successfully!"
"The scene just now was so dangerous, I feel like half a second slower... no, half a second, Corsola couldn't have escaped!"
No one thought this was luck, just because the executor was All Baimu, a legendary Trainer who had defeated regional Champions Diantha and Lance!
When the new Pokémon flew toward the arena from the Poké Ball, All Baimu nodded politely to Cynthia.
Cynthia laughed angrily, "Good, good, good, you really have a way!"
She and Spiritomb were not without tacit understanding, but they had never done such "shady" tactics of stopping the opponent's Pokémon.
If All Baimu hadn't done it first, she would definitely not have done it.
No way, it's hard to get used to a Trainer who usually fights upright and honestly performing such insidious strategies.
Cynthia exhaled the turbid air in her abdomen, looked at the Pokémon that had just appeared, and ordered.
"Nasty Plot!"
"Mi ka~~"
Spiritomb, which had retracted into the seal stone, chirped softly, and the gaseous evil soul rotated slowly, significantly increasing its Special Attack ability.
The gray-skinned Shiny Gengar saw this scene, with no fear on its face, grinning and making faces at Cynthia and Spiritomb.
Compared to Corsola, who was completely ruthless and just wanted to get off work early, Gengar had more drama when facing acquaintances.
All Baimu: "Haze."
"Heh, Imprison."
Cynthia chuckled, her eyes locked on the movements of his hands, and found that the latter had no intention of taking out the Key Stone.
According to her understanding of All Baimu, if there was a Mega Evolution Gengar, he would definitely do it the first time. If not, it meant he didn't intend to give the Mega Evolution opportunity to Gengar.
This saved a lot of trouble.
To be honest, Cynthia hadn't thought of any good way to crack Mega Gengar's special ability to shuttle back and forth in different dimensions until now.
I'm afraid only by defeating it in one move can she defeat this weird Pokémon.
And now Gengar wouldn't Mega Evolve, which saved a lot of effort.
"Mao Jie xixixi~"
Gengar flew into the air, spraying a large area of black fog from a high place, making the venue that had just cleared of smoke become foggy again.
Even in the case of unclear vision, Spiritomb could accurately capture Gengar's trace, and the evil soul suddenly rushed out, rising dozens of meters.
Pink-purple light shrouded its body and then extended to Gengar.
"Mi~~ ka~~"
Undoubtedly.
The previous Nasty Plot was a trap, and the purpose was to force Gengar, so that 【Imprison】 could be successfully implemented.
If it weren't for the fact that 【Taunt】 might fail, Cynthia would actually prefer it, so that Gengar's change moves could be completely sealed.
Unfortunately, based on Cynthia's personal judgment, dealing with All Baimu's Pokémon, the seal originating from the mysterious field is simpler than affecting Gengar's emotions.
The facts are also the same.
Gengar, who was spitting fog, really didn't block Spiritomb's Imprison.
Feeling the strangeness in its body, Gengar's rampant smile slowly converged, "Gengar..."
That's not right!
The unpopular move 【Imprison】 reappeared after the battle with Diantha. The one who suffered last time was the pink fat Blissey, and now it has become this gray fat one.
What's even more painful is that the skill pools of both sides are not much different because of the same attributes.
Gengar's mentality collapsed a bit.
It was the same as Corsola, having only been promoted to level ninety for half a month, intending to show off its brand-new power, but most of its moves were sealed?
The most fatal point is that it is impossible to determine the sealed moves, and in a battle with a Champion Pokémon, if you use a sealed move, it is equivalent to wasting the opportunity.
Quite fatal!
The commentator also told the audience about this point, and Caitlin in the guest room was excited.
Imprison was the skill she recommended Cynthia's Pokémon to learn.
But soon, as Gengar turned half to the side and its eyes completed an interaction with All Baimu, it gradually calmed down.
That's right.
It's farting!
Its skill pool is so deep!
"Attack directly! Dazzling Gleam!" All Baimu didn't intend to exchange, and felt it was unnecessary, completely ignoring the seemingly fatal Imprison.
Gengar's tactical style is completely different from Corsola's.
All it needs to do is one thing—
Attack!
"Gen~~gar!!"
Gengar suddenly shone, like a colorful sun rising from the east, dispelling the fog in the venue, wanting to dye the entire arena its color.
The strong ominous premonition made the command in Cynthia's mouth take a turn.
"Tu——Protect!"
"Mi ka!"
Spiritomb moved very quickly. Before the strong light shone on the venue, a bright blue light shield appeared in front of it.
However, the indestructible Protect only persisted for a very short time before it was covered with fine cracks. Spiritomb quickly retracted into the seal stone to resist the offensive of Dazzling Gleam.
Rumble rumble——
The sky seemed to have fallen with divine punishment-like light rain, instantly grinding away the giant ice that had frozen Corsola, and when the strong light gradually dimmed, only the seal stone remained in the field except for large holes.
"Mi ka?"
Spiritomb slowly poked its head out.
It must be glad that the stone sealing itself was hard enough to block this attack.
But Spiritomb wasn't sure how many times the seal stone could withstand it.
What if it cracks...
Spiritomb couldn't say whether it should be happy or panicked.
Cynthia's expression was solemn, "This power of Dazzling Gleam..."
She didn't want to say any more, and only two words remained in her mind—
Outrageous!
Can't let it use this skill again!
"Phantom Force!" Cynthia predicted the opponent's decision, and understood that defense was useless, so she could only adopt a roundabout way of attacking.
All Baimu really gave the repeated order straightforwardly, "Do it again, Dazzling Gleam."
Spiritomb, as a Dark and Ghost-type Pokémon, has only one weakness, which is Dazzling Gleam.
With Gengar's current output, as long as the damage is full. Killing Spiritomb in one go can't even be considered outrageous.
Even if the opponent is a Champion's Pokémon.
Not to mention the foundation of that Dazzling Gleam just now.
Don't look at Spiritomb opening Protect or hiding inside the seal stone; in fact, it couldn't let it completely avoid it.
There were still some light needles constructed by Fairy-type energy that pierced into its body.
So for All Baimu, as long as the situation is suitable, there is no need for other redundant skills, just Dazzling Gleam from beginning to end.
"Gen~gar!!"
Gengar turned into a shining lamp ball again, circling around the sky of the huge arena, trying its best to let the light invade every inch of the venue on average.
Fortunately, Spiritomb jumped into the black fog in time, successfully dodging this fatal new round of Dazzling Gleam.
All Baimu saw its action and shouted, "Sludge Bomb!"
"Gengar!"
Gengar, who ended the light bulb state, immediately spat out a cloud of smoke mixed with poison, and its round body flipped into it.
At the same time, black fog emerged behind it.
"Mi ka!"
Spiritomb's rotating evil soul shot out, instantly piercing the poison fog, but hit nothing.
It's the elusive ability of Ghost-type Pokémon!
It fell to the ground unwillingly.
Cynthia didn't hesitate and continued to order, "It will pop up below! Sucker Punch!"
Sure enough.
Gengar's figure appeared at Spiritomb's landing point, and huge Shadow Punches quickly emerged around its body, bombarding out of thin air!
"Gengar!"
Fly back up and be a target for me!
"Mi ka!"
The angry Spiritomb's evil soul circled, rushing downward like an arrow off the string.
The effect of 【Sucker Punch】 striking first allowed it to confront Gengar, who had given up Dazzling Gleam for the sake of a quick attack, at the same moment after the sneak attack failed.
Bang!
Gunsmoke bulged and dissipated quickly.
Everyone suddenly realized that only the evil soul and the seal stone were twitching together in the venue, "Ka... Mi..."
"What's wrong with this?"
The commentator's confusion was the same as the audience's.
Cynthia got the accurate answer from Spiritomb's state, "Payback! Fight it!"
"Dazzling Gleam!"
All Baimu's shout came from afar.
Undoubtedly, Gengar drilled into the seal stone and was competing with Spiritomb for "body" control.
The two finished their commands, and within two seconds, blood-red and pastel brilliance erupted inside.
Dark-type energy and Fairy-type energy clashed, and the seal stone became the core battlefield for the two Pokémon.
It's just a pity that Spiritomb is composed of 108 evil souls, but it doesn't mean it can exert 108 levels of power, and Gengar's energy level is a solid ninety!
Far exceeding the Champion's main force, crushing the Champion's trump card level!
The blood-red light only lasted for a few seconds before being completely suppressed by the pastel brilliance. The entire seal stone jumped on the spot, and countless cracks collapsed, as if it were about to explode.
Cynthia drank, "Destiny Bond!"
If you can't win, die together!
Her eyes were exceptionally calm, as if she had already seen through the outcome of the match, and all the processes in front were for the last plate of dumplings.
But how could All Baimu not let Gengar keep a hand?
Although Cynthia had never let Spiritomb use Destiny Bond before, since it could use Imprison, what's strange about using a Destiny Bond?
Most opponents who can use Destiny Bond are worth keeping an eye on.
He specifically exhorted before the match that as long as it wasn't Gengar's turn to attack, don't use full strength.
"Will-O-Wisp."
The pastel light dimmed, and clusters of deep purple flames overflowed from the seal stone, burning Spiritomb until it howled.
【Destiny Bond】, as a move that can take away an opponent's Pokémon, has relatively strict usage methods.
Among them, the most important one is that the Pokémon must be attacked directly by the opponent to take effect.
Will-O-Wisp is clearly not in that category.
Cynthia stared at the seal stone. She was actually gambling, gambling that Gengar's output was so high that it didn't have time to use Will-O-Wisp before Spiritomb lost its last bit of stamina.
The flames went out.
Gengar drilled out of the seal stone full of cracks, and the latter was no longer moving, seemingly having lost the ability to battle.
"Gengar~"
It walked forward with a full smile, its steps swaying.
The next moment.
Gengar's smile suddenly froze, its body uncontrollably falling forward, its body twitching.
The commentator exclaimed, "Gengar! Gengar also lost the ability to battle—"
"Gen~gar~!"
The gray fat man jumped up suddenly, made a face at the camera in the sky, causing the commentator's voice to stop abruptly.
"——This, this guy is really naughty."
The commentator's mouth twitched.
Referee Deng Pei also stopped his approach and looked at All Baimu silently.
All Baimu smiled embarrassedly.
"Spiritomb is unable to battle!" With Deng Pei's announcement, Gengar sat on the ground, exhausted.
It wasn't that Spiritomb was difficult to deal with, it was really that controlling the damage was too difficult.
It was afraid that its output wouldn't be fierce enough or too fierce, and it wouldn't be able to finish Spiritomb off before it used Destiny Bond, causing itself to be hit.
Fortunately, the ending is perfect!
