Chapter 888: Ace Battle

After the great enlightenment.

The Shiny Mega Gengar radiated a new life from the inside out.

It felt the Trainer's warm embrace, experienced the unprecedented spiritual connection and the exaggerated attribute energy that was about to overflow.

Confidence expanded rapidly and uncontrollably.

"Congratulations! Very handsome!"

All Baimu let go and stepped back, admiring Mega Gengar's new look back and forth.

In terms of appearance, Mega Gengar was definitely one of the best among all Mega Evolutions, especially in his aesthetic view; only a very few could rival it.

And the Shiny individual was even more outstanding; the pure white that replaced the gray-purple made it look like an evil thug who was gentle and elegant on the surface, but filled with malice.

It was truly handsome in one word!

Also worth rejoicing was that in its "first" Mega Evolution, Gengar had mastered this terrifying power. Not only did it not automatically release the Mega Evolution due to lack of stamina, but it even retained extremely strong combat ability.

As everyone knew.

Pokémon going berserk after Mega Evolution was generally because they couldn't bear the overly massive energy, just like a water pot that was already full but still being poured into.

To relieve it, one could only use moves frantically to consume it.

But this energy was truly too massive; compared to consuming it all, Pokémon would often just lose their strength and passively release the Mega Evolution state first.

Aggron, Mawile, and even Steelix were all like this.

Who would have thought that Gengar, with its thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually succeeded in suppressing it, making the others look very incompetent.

Of course.

Aggron and Mawile didn't think so themselves.

Only Mega Gengar was very proud.

"Gen-hee-hee-hee!"

Hearing it laugh strangely, it was very satisfied with the Trainer's undisguised flattery, and could even perceive the joy in the spiritual link, completely throwing the small unpleasantness brought by the tragic encounter to the back of its mind.

It raised its rugged claws that were sunk into the ground; the shape of the claws had suddenly changed from fat to the point where fingers were barely visible, to a lean and sharp shape with distinct joints.

As if returning to the Haunter stage.

This also made Mega Gengar not dare to hug the Trainer back just now, worrying that it couldn't control its strength and cause harm to the latter.

But.

It couldn't wait to prove itself!

"Gen-hee-hee-hee~"

Mega Gengar turned its head to look at Aggron beside it, raising its eyebrows sneakily.

Aggron was surprised, pointing at itself: "Guroar?"

"Gengar!"

Mega Gengar nodded in confirmation, and cast a pleading look at the Trainer.

As an ambitious Pokémon, it followed the principle that if one was going to fight, one should fight the strongest, and decisively chose the ace of the team.

Regardless of whether it could win or not, fight first!

"Guroar~"

Aggron showed a ferocious smile; the kid was quite brave!

Inflated?

It never hesitated to give any companion who dared to covet its status a profound lesson; this was its responsibility as an ace.

Mega Evolution?

Without this thing, it had mixed just as well before!

All Baimu swept his gaze over the eager Mega Gengar and Aggron, smiled and said: "Do as you please."

He turned and took Mawile ten meters away.

The moment he turned back.

The two Pokémon seemed to have received the signal to start the war, and acted in unison.

*Thud! *

The earth trembled under Aggron's feet, and countless glowing cracks spread toward Mega Gengar at a speed visible to the naked eye, intending to surround it.

Unexpectedly, the latter rolled forward and disappeared on the spot!

*Rumble!! *

Golden energy light waves rose like a volcanic eruption, but helplessly hit nothing.

"Guroar?"

Aggron could feel that Mega Gengar hadn't dived into the ground, but had truly lost its trace.

All Baimu said to Mawile: "You also know that many Pokémon will gain some magical abilities after Mega Evolution. Mega Gengar's ability is that it can travel through other-dimensional spaces at will, lurking in them and waiting for the necessary moment to strike."

And unlike 【Phantom Force】.

Mega Gengar's travel through other dimensions had no warning, because part of its body was originally in it, so entering and exiting was as smooth as eating and drinking.

"Chiduo."

Mawile responded, thinking about how it would catch such an elusive enemy if it were to face Mega Gengar.

Unlike Spectrier, which liked close-range attacks, Mega Gengar was clearly a long-range attacker.

With its specialty in close-range physical attacks, it was hard to fight against such enemies without Mega Evolution.

Aggron was slightly better than it.

It could fight both far and near!

And very fortunately, although Mega Gengar used the ability of other-dimensional travel freely through past experience, it couldn't yet make the concealment extreme.

Currently, Aggron was exceptionally sensitive to attribute energy; just as Mega Gengar appeared in the air behind it, it leaped up and rushed over!

*Bang! *

The earth trembled.

Earth-yellow light covered its feet, and Mega Gengar, who had just appeared, hadn't had time to do anything before a big foot descended from the sky!

【Stomp】!

"Gen-hee-hee-hee—Gar?"

It was so scared it retracted half its head, but it was ultimately a beat slow; its right claw was stepped on by Aggron, and following the force, its main body was dragged out!

"Gengar—"

*Bang! *

Smoke swirled!

The 【Stomp】 after 【Earth Power】 missed had double the power, and Mega Gengar, caught off guard, was almost kicked unconscious.

Fortunately, the main part that took the damage was the right claw.

It bared its teeth in pain, dodged Aggron's grab by diving again, appeared on the other side, and its pitch-black eyes glowed with a fluorescent blue light.

Countless twisted pink-colored light rays spread from its wide-open mouth toward Aggron, who was close at hand.

However, a fluorescent blue light shield blocked the twisted light.

【Hypnosis】 vs 【Protect】—

【Hypnosis】 out!

"Guroar~"

Aggron's mouth revealed a mocking arc; internal battles happened almost every day, how could it not know what moves Gengar would tend to use at close range?

"Gengar?"

Mega Gengar was ten thousand times unconvinced, disappeared again and appeared from the ground, just about to offer a flashing thunderbolt, when a howling wind suddenly came from under its feet!

【Sand Tomb】!

Endless sand was like a high wall, taking it and the thunderbolt it had gestated far away!

Fortunately, the Ghost-type Mega Gengar wouldn't be bound.

It easily escaped the range of the Sand Tomb, but still couldn't help but doubt its ghost life.

Why did it seem like every time its attack was predicted by Aggron? Was defensive counterattack fought like this? Everyone was taught by the same "Master," right!

It couldn't help but question in its heart whether the Trainer had given the ace special treatment.

It got the word "Scram" as it wished.

Mega Gengar shrank in the other-dimensional space, holding its face that had lost some weight, reviewing the reason for being discovered repeatedly.

Why was it discovered?

Couldn't figure it out.

Mega Gengar thought its movements were hidden enough, but it was hit by Aggron as if predicted, and almost didn't dodge it.

It decided to go high this time.

Aggron could indeed jump, but it needed time to jump to the highest point, right?

At least Mega Gengar thought it could grasp the time difference and give this ace a shot to the face—

The ideal was plump, but the reality was very skinny.

When it appeared from high altitude, Aggron did indeed jump up from the spot a step ahead, in the process of approaching it, but besides its main body.

There was also a 【Meteor Beam】 ready to go!

*BOOM—!!! *

A golden-red pillar of light that seemed to destroy the world swallowed its entire world.

In this instant, Mega Gengar seemed to see the universe; its sharp claws didn't have time to send out the light ball it had been rubbing halfway, and it lost consciousness.

"Gen..."

"Guroar."

Aggron landed, relieving the nervous emotion in its heart, and smiled.

It was a bit rushed just now.

If Mega Gengar had used 【Destiny Bond】, it would only have the fate of following it to the street; at such a close distance, 【Destiny Bond】 couldn't fail.

Fortunately, the other party was a fool as usual.

Not far away.

Mega Gengar fell to the ground with a *plop*, colorful light flashed and it returned to its original appearance, its mouth still maintaining a smile, only wisps of smoke rising.

All Baimu stepped forward, squatted halfway, pinched Gengar's face, and scolded with a smile: "Let you inflate, tasted bitterness now, right?"

"Gengar..."

The slowly waking Gengar had the corners of its mouth and eyes drooping, its little appearance pitiful.

It did think that it had a possibility of winning against Aggron without Mega Evolution, but it ended up being slapped in the face.

Its face was already big, and now it was almost beaten swollen.

"Gengar—"

Gengar cried and threw itself into the Trainer's arms to seek comfort.

It was embarrassed to do so before, but after this Mega Evolution, it knew how much the Trainer liked it, and its courage immediately grew.

All Baimu gently stroked its ears and said: "No backbone! What are you crying for! There is a saying that being strong is a matter of a period of time, but being handsome is a matter of a lifetime; you are so handsome, you will become strong sooner or later!"

"Gengar?"

Gengar looked up at the Trainer with teary eyes, seeing his expression serious and not fake, it broke into laughter, "Gen-hee-hee-hee~"

Aggron and Mawile looked at each other, either teasing or being clingy.

The immature Gengar clearly didn't know that there were some Pokémon in the world called both strong and handsome by All Baimu, and there were two of them around it.

By the shore of Ball Lake.

It became a bit lively because of this one-sided beating.

In the lake, bushes, under big trees, and behind rocks, many wild Pokémon carefully revealed half their heads, looking with awe at Aggron, who had just sprayed an atomic breath like Godzilla.

The strong make Pokémon awe.

It was just that.

Soon the filter about Aggron in their eyes was broken, especially when that big guy lowered its head in an intimate yet slightly weak way, letting another thin existence stroke it.

——

Back at the campsite.

The Pokémon came forward to ask about the situation, and Calyrex also cast a curious look.

"Of course it was a success."

All Baimu gave a thumbs up, Gengar gave one too, its smile as round as a crescent moon.

The Mega Evolution originally planned for a week was completed in one day; the remaining task was only to wait for Calyrex to condense the Flower of Radiance and make the Reins of Unity.

According to it, after a week, it should be able to try to condense the petals.

As long as there were petals!

Many Pokémon came forward to surround Gengar and congratulate it, and Gengar also proudly put its hands on its fat waist, with a posture of "who else but me in the world."

As for who was the one crying in pain from being beaten two minutes ago?

Hmph!

Don't know!

In front of the tent.

Hydreigon, who was recovering from its injuries, didn't join the fun, and even turned its head away with disdain, suppressing the small envy in its heart.

Although All Baimu promised that Dragonium Z and Darkinium Z would be for its exclusive use, that was Mega Evolution!

As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity, worry about inequality.

Hydreigon knew that only a small number of Pokémon in this world possessed Mega Evolution, and Aggron and Mawile were among the lucky ones.

Why couldn't the lucky one be it?

The injured Husky Dragon inevitably began to let its imagination run wild, until All Baimu sat down beside it and played with the hair on its neck.

"Now that Gengar can also Mega Evolve, do you have a sense of crisis?"

"Shasang~"

Hydreigon responded lazily.

All Baimu continued: "If we are lucky, we will go to the Paldea region next year; there is a special system there called Terastallization, which might be useful for you and Blissey."

The papers on the internet regarding the Tera Orb basically had to be logged in and read on a website, and registering an account required a student ID or teacher ID from Paldea's Naranja Academy.

It was very uncomfortable.

He just wanted to know if Terastallization could be taken out of the Paldea region for use.

If it could, Hydreigon could have one more means.

"Shasang~"

Hydreigon had no interest in this; it only wanted Mega Evolution now, and it didn't hold hope for something like Terastallization that it had never heard of.

But it was still very happy that the Trainer could come over alone to talk to it and encourage it with words.

Under the warm, large hand stroking in a rhythmic cycle, Hydreigon soon entered dreamland, its three big heads snoring lightly.

Evening.

Meal time.

Spectrier and Glastrier were released.

The two looked at each other, then quickly turned their heads away in unison, walking toward All Baimu with a *clack-clack* sound.

"The production of ice carrots and black carrots is relatively low, and I have already asked people to plant them. Please wait a little, would it be okay to replace them with ordinary carrots?"

He carried two big buckets, inside which were carrot chunks, apple chunks, and some vegetable stew that Ice-type and Ghost-type Pokémon loved to eat.

These two horses definitely wouldn't eat forage.

Although Kiawe kept recommending his family's farm recipes in private messages, how could a Mudbray's recipe be similar to a Legendary Pokémon's recipe?

Therefore, he "cooperated" with Calyrex and prepared two big buckets based on his own experience.

It depended on whether they would eat it or not.

If they didn't eat, feed the fish.

When the pot was opened earlier, those Magikarp and Basculin in Ball Lake were almost flying onto the shore; they would definitely like it.

Glastrier looked at him, looked at the expectant Calyrex, lowered its eyes and looked at the big bucket.

"Hiss—"

This thing, even a dog would—

It was about to raise its foot to kick it over to show its unruliness, when it heard a *crunch-crunch* sound from beside it.

Glastrier turned its head and saw Spectrier eating happily.

Occasionally, it would stretch its neck to All Baimu's side and take a puff, just like smoking, and after smoking, it would continue to eat with a comfortable face.

"Neigh?"

It looked at the big bucket suspiciously, lowering its head slightly to sniff.

A few seconds later.

The *crunch-crunch* sound of eating echoed by the shore of Ball Lake.

The fish Pokémon in the lake that had been looking forward to it for a long time returned to their nests in disappointment; at this rate, they wouldn't even be able to eat any scraps.

All Baimu breathed a sigh of relief.

He just said so!

If they could eat carrots, they could eat glowing cuisine! Or just go on a hunger strike like the Regis! ===== CHAPTER 889 =====
