Chapter 1414: Reverse Prediction

Like a fish leaping into the sea, swimming freely.

The moment the shockwave arrived, Mega Shiny Gengar escaped into the other dimension for the first time, just like Zoe's ultimate move, shuttling to directly below Mega Shiny Metagross.

All Baimu's command penetrated the sand curtain, "Ghost fire."

"Gengar~"

Mega Shiny Gengar revealed a wicked smile, and while the opponent hadn't discovered it, it opened its mouth and spat out a group of ghost-blue flames.

However, even though it had been so careful, its whereabouts were still spied by Steven and Mega Shiny Metagross.

The latter's response was quite straightforward. While dodging, it directly used Psychic to form an invisible big net, covering the ghost fire and also catching Mega Shiny Gengar inside.

Without a doubt.

Steven had already predicted that Mega Shiny Gengar might come to the door, specifically waiting for this guy.

It's just that he didn't expect this ghost fire to be unusually fierce, just like the previous Shadow Ball, suddenly burning through the blockade caused by mental power.

Bang bang bang!

Flames splashed!

"Metagross!"

Mega Shiny Metagross's eyes flashed, and it lifted its lower body and moved horizontally with its front claws as a fulcrum, narrowly avoiding several exploding ghost-blue fire spots.

No, it should be said that it was within its calculations.

Steven's expression was solemn, "What an incredible power!"

Ghost fire in the animation is not just a pure status move, it also has a certain power itself.

But this kind of situation is really a bit beyond the ordinary category.

"Metagross!"

Mega Shiny Metagross dodged. At this moment, its movement speed fully erupted, showing the ability to dodge Thunderbolt in the original work, and quickly swung its fist forward.

Only a dull thud was heard, and the fist hit empty space. Mega Shiny Gengar, which released the ghost fire, lost its trace again.

Fortunately, it didn't use skills, it was purely a tentative attack predicting that the opponent would escape.

The host shouted, "The two Pokémon have battled for several rounds, and neither of their attacks has been able to touch the opponent!"

The two Pokémon have Mega Evolved for at least several minutes, but so far, not a single move has successfully hit the other side.

Because All Baimu and Steven both know very well that whoever can hit the opponent first will gain the upper hand.

Mega Shiny Gengar seems to be coming and going without a trace and has exaggerated output, but its defense ability is still low, at least it is difficult to face Mega Shiny Metagross's attack head-on.

Steven's ace is not the Mega Dragonite or Mega Garchomp Y encountered before.

Similarly, Mega Shiny Metagross is the same, but its defense is actually excellent, but Mega Shiny Gengar's output is too exaggerated, even ghost fire can penetrate the blockade of Psychic.

This made Steven dare not let it take damage and counterattack, for fear of being killed by Mega Shiny Gengar on the spot.

The two Pokémon are like "glass cannons", one Mobile Corps Commander containment, the other response and counterattack, both looking for suitable opportunities to attack the opponent.

The atmosphere in the venue was extremely tense, infecting the audience outside, making them dare not breathe.

And at the moment the host's voice fell, the two sides clashed again.

——Right side!

Steven quickly shifted his gaze. The pale ghost really appeared on the right side of Mega Shiny Metagross, condensing a huge black-purple energy ball between its claws and smashing it toward it.

"Zen Headbutt!"

"Metagross!"

Mega Shiny Metagross growled, mental power erupted comprehensively and condensed in front of it to form fluorescent blue light waves, and then rushed toward Mega Shiny Gengar and the Shadow Ball like a high-speed train.

The huge figure's breaking through the air sound was like thunder, the sand and gravel flying along the way were shattered by the airflow, and the move momentum was heavy as a mountain.

Its mental power was layered, and for every point it approached, the sense of oppression became stronger, pointing directly at Mega Shiny Gengar's main body!

Rumble—!!

Two extreme forces collided fiercely. The energy ripples swept the entire venue again. The flat ground was forcibly plowed out of several deep gullies by the shockwave, sand and gravel splashed into the sky, almost completely obscuring the vision.

This also became a critical moment for the two Pokémon to attack each other.

"Psychic!"

Even though it had been penetrated by ghost fire and Shadow Ball, Steven still trusted this move.

After all, in terms of research on it, Diantha and All Baimu can only be considered latecomers, and even the mental shield was learned from Steven.

Mega Shiny Metagross retreated under the force of the counter-shock, flying in the venue without stopping for a moment, and invisible mental power covered the four sides, accurately locking onto Mega Shiny Gengar, which dived into the other dimension.

The long-term confrontation did not reduce its mental control ability, but instead used this to let the battle venue and the opponent gradually be stained with its will.

The brain, comparable to a supercomputer, ran at high speed, and the analysis of the dimensional shuttle became more in-depth.

Obviously, Steven was not "dragging" time meaninglessly. Everything he did was to make Mega Shiny Metagross understand the dimensional shuttle better, and use this as a base point to capture the opponent more accurately.

Prediction is its specialty. No matter how All Baimu knows how to capture the timing, he still can't beat the power of prophecy!

"Metagross!"

Mega Shiny Metagross's eyes flashed with brilliance, and its whole body was filled with invisible aura. Steven's mouth showed a smile, "It seems it's time to end."

My foreshadowing is complete!

The next instant.

Mega Shiny Gengar popped its head out from the void. Mega Shiny Metagross's body turned, its heavy body pierced through the air, like an unbreakable heavy hammer, hitting the ground heavily!

"Stomp!"

Thud!

The sand ground cracked like a spiderweb, and the Ground-type energy poured into the ground along the limbs, causing violent tremors!

Visible ring-shaped energy shockwaves erupted from the center, spreading crazily toward the surroundings. The sand ground cracked, sand and gravel churned, and the attack range covered more than half of the area, almost impossible to dodge completely.

"Gengar!?"

Mega Shiny Gengar was predicted to appear at the timing for the first time. The move in its claws changed quickly, turning into a fluorescent blue round shield.

Bang!!

The shockwave arrived, mixed with the resentment of failing to attack repeatedly, causing the light shield to shake violently, with cracks densely covered on the surface.

【Stomp】, the last attack missed, this time the power doubled!

Mega Shiny Gengar, which had finally managed to hold on, felt silver light flickering in front of its eyes, scaring it into shrinking into the other dimension for the first time.

Mega Shiny Metagross's body brushed past narrowly, but it was not an offensive move.

"Agility."

Steven's smile remained undiminished.

The power of dimensional shuttle seems to be annoying, but if you put it aside and study Mega Shiny Gengar itself, it's not that difficult.

A Pokémon's behavior and habits have traces. As long as you know it well enough, you can fully predict it further.

The host shouted, "Continuous prediction! Gengar's actions were completely seen through by Steven!"

Hum!

The audience stands were noisy.

In the eyes of many people, the dimensional shuttle, which can be called invincible, was broken by Steven like this?

How did he do it?

Diantha in the preparation room moved her eyes slightly, and also wanted to master this trick.

She and All Baimu have a long time to come, and it's hard to say that she won't encounter a situation of attacking Mega Shiny Gengar in the future.

Cynthia is also the same.

Or rather, most Trainers who want to battle All Baimu are trying to replicate Steven's technique.

People who are more obsessed with the match are extremely worried about Mega Shiny Gengar's current situation.

It cannot use any skills in the other dimension. Having handed over Protect, how will it deal with Mega Shiny Metagross's next attack?

Don't tell me it's going to stay in the other dimension and not appear!

The answer is no.

Not to mention that such behavior is meaningless, Mega Shiny Gengar itself doesn't want to do that.

Moreover, All Baimu had already made plans for this.

The green light on the ground was dim, and the sandstorm in the sky stopped turning.

The long-term battle between the two Pokémon dragged these two forces to exhaustion, but the gravity field still existed, causing Mega Shiny Gengar's appearance to become more conspicuous.

"Gengar!"

Mega Shiny Gengar popped its head out, its figure was spied for the first time, and the opponent rushed over like a mud truck that was overloaded and speeding!

"Zen Headbutt!"

"Metagross!"

Agility made Mega Shiny Metagross's already swift speed reach the extreme. If Mega Shiny Gengar's speed wasn't fast, it would have been hit this time.

Relying on its fast shuttle ability, it barely opened the distance, but didn't expect this mud truck, Mega Shiny Metagross, to drift, twisting its body to turn half a circle with the smallest arc, and accelerated to rush toward it again!

Rumble!

The air made a terrifying sonic boom, and the air waves spread to the surroundings, shaking away countless sand and gravel and dust.

"Gengar!"

Mega Shiny Gengar, which popped its head out, was furious, and just as it was about to shrink back, fluorescent blue brilliance lit up in the surrounding mid-air.

Steven smiled and raised his right hand, "Future Sight."

【Future Sight】, predict the opponent's position in advance and perform a predictive attack after a period of time.

When it calculated where Mega Shiny Gengar would appear, this move was released by Mega Shiny Metagross.

It is just suitable for attacking such a god-like opponent!

As long as it hits Mega Shiny Gengar, it is enough to make its body stiff and be hit by Zen Headbutt. Under the double attack, the survival probability of this Pokémon is infinitely close to zero!

Moreover.

"Dimensional shuttle has gaps, right?" Steven observed for a long time and confirmed that there is a gap of about one second between every time Mega Shiny Gengar opens and closes the door.

It looks short, but it is actually quite fatal.

Hum hum—

Several beams of light fell toward Mega Shiny Gengar at a speed that it couldn't react to, and Mega Shiny Metagross, which was like a tarsal maggot, also got closer and closer. Mega Shiny Gengar seemed to be shrinking its body, but it had actually fallen into a desperate situation!

"Gengar——"

Its eyes became fierce, and its whole body flashed with dazzling white brilliance!

In an instant, the flash of mental power bombardment covered the entire venue!

Boom!

In the deafening roar, energy rushed and impacted in all directions, rolling up countless dust and sprinkling it on the audience stands, and was blocked by the protective device.

Wow!

The audience stands were noisy.

Steven actually used Future Sight silently, and formed a pincer attack with Zen Headbutt!

Can Mega Shiny Gengar hold on this time?

The host also shouted, "Future Sight and Zen Headbutt hit simultaneously, this is a very effective attack!"

Mega Shiny Gengar, which has the Poison type, is weak to the Psychic type. The attack of Mega Shiny Metagross is very difficult to resist under normal circumstances.

So can Steven successfully defeat the opponent and recover the unfavorable situation of the previous match?

Everyone looked forward to it.

And everyone is very curious about what Mega Shiny Gengar did just now. Facing such a dangerous situation, what kind of skill will it adopt?

The smoke and dust were quickly driven away, but what appeared in front of everyone was a Mega Shiny Gengar drifting like blue smoke.

"This is..."

Everyone was astonished.

All Baimu's mouth showed a smile. Mega Shiny Metagross moved its body after a brief astonishment, but it was too late.

Mega Shiny Gengar suddenly popped out from its side, offering it a dazzling flash.

Hum!

"Dazzling Gleam."

The strange colorful light shone into Mega Shiny Metagross's eyes, immediately causing this Pokémon, which was retreating at high speed, to fall into confusion.

Steven frowned solemnly, "Is it a Substitute?"

The Mega Shiny Gengar that dissipated just now was a Substitute it made at the last moment.

It drove energy on one side and shrank into the other dimension on the other, relying on the short moment when the meat shield blocked the damage for it, successfully escaping a disaster.

However, this is actually a trap that All Baimu took the initiative to create for Steven.

He knew very well the truth that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child, so he took advantage of the moment when the Light Screen from the previous match was about to disappear to create a trap for Mega Shiny Metagross.

How could he not discover Mega Shiny Metagross's Future Sight?

Even if there is sandstorm obstructing the vision, it still can't escape his perception ability.

"Come on! End this battle!"

All Baimu waved his hand, "Shadow Ball!"

Steven shouted, "Wake up! Zen Headbutt!"

The voices of the two sounded at the same moment, both indicating that the end of this match was about to arrive.

Mega Shiny Gengar grinned and raised its claws high, condensing a huge black-purple energy ball with a fierce aura, and smashed it toward Mega Shiny Metagross, which was not far away!

The latter's eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, like a graphics card that had exploded its memory, running quite stutteringly.

Facing the opponent's attack, even if it had the heart to meet it, it was still a beat slow.

Bang!

Shadow Ball slammed fiercely into Mega Shiny Metagross, shattering the mental power it had finally condensed, and also causing it to completely fall into the invasion of Ghost-type energy.

Rolling smoke stirred the venue. Mega Shiny Gengar retreated one after another like a flash, waiting for the result of its attack.

The answer is obvious.

The dust dissipated, and Mega Shiny Metagross lay on the ground, its body color flowing and returning to its original form.

Its huge eyes turned into black circles at this moment.

Deng Pei entered the venue to pronounce: "Metagross is unable to battle, Gengar wins!"

Two consecutive wins!

Rumble!

The audience stands erupted in unprecedented cheers. No one expected that Mega Shiny Metagross's great situation would be buried in just a few seconds.

Ash wiped his sweat, "This is an unexpected ending."

"All Baimu is worthy of being an expert in changing moves, actually relying on Substitute to dodge Metagross's combo attack."

Iris put herself in her shoes and thought about it, feeling that if it were her, she would probably be waiting to die.

Hop couldn't help but say, "Is there no way to completely prevent Mega Shiny Gengar from drilling into the other dimension?"

To a large extent, what determines the key direction of the match is still Mega Shiny Gengar's ability.

"Hmm..."

Ash fell into deep thought. ===== CHAPTER 1415 =====
