Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 274 Gengar: Do you want to dance too? (4400 words, please vote!)

"Jing He has sent out Gengar, which is making its first appearance!!"

Upon seeing Gengar, the narrator loudly introduced it.

Ok?
In the guest seats.

Liu Bo raised an eyebrow when he saw Gengar.

"This Gengar"

It gave him the feeling that he was seeing Kikuko's Gengar.

Or perhaps it's more of a special case.
"Gengar," Professor Oak's smile held a hint of something else, "Good luck."

The battle has officially begun!

"May the crows bring you good fortune!"

Whether in 6v6 or 3v3 rotating modes, doubles mode, or even all-out battles, Pokémon speed often plays a crucial role.

Having speed is equivalent to having the initiative or even the upper hand.

Tailwind will undoubtedly give Crow's Head and other Pokémon that appear later a speed advantage.

【Tailwind: Creates a tailwind on your field, doubling the Speed ​​of all Pokémon on your field for a limited time.】

It can be said that this is a rather buggy group buff move.

but.

Jinghe, who used to be an avid Pokémon battle game enthusiast, is very familiar with this move.

Having a good start is fine, and this tactic is quite normal.

But that's where the problem lies.
Raikou, the Pokémon that uses Tailwind, is Crow's Head, not Murkrow!
More accurately, it is the Raven's ability "Overconfidence" that is present, rather than the ability "Mischievousness" that was present during the Murkrow era.

[Mischievous Heart: Pokémon with this ability gain +1 priority when using status moves, including status Z-Moves.]

The hidden ability "Prankster" that Murkrow possesses will evolve into "Overconfidence".

The "tailwind" move is a variation move.

The lack of a mischievous trait in the Raven Leader leads to this.
The speed at which the tailwind starts is too slow!
So that's what the audience saw.

As the crow leader flapped its wings and summoned air currents, a dark, plump figure sped toward the crow leader at an incredible speed.

The point is.

That figure was accompanied by a streak of blue-purple light, flashing across the field like an arc of electricity.

As they approached the head of the crows, a look of bewilderment appeared on the faces of the audience.

What is Gengar trying to do?
Isn't Gengar supposed to use a switch-and-go strategy to defend against poison?

Lei Si's expression was also somewhat surprised; this scene seemed familiar.

Yesterday, Jinghe's Ice Nine-Tails defeated Melanie's Sun Rock with a single close-range Iron Tail attack.

But that's Nine-Tails. Although most Nine-Tails go for a special attack build, given its base stat distribution, it's not unreasonable to think of it as a dual attacker.

Where's Gengar?
Can Gengar also use physical and special dual-wielding attacks?

With Gengar's physical attack capabilities?
It wasn't that Lei Si hadn't considered the possibility that Jing He might choose close combat; it's just that he simply couldn't have imagined it.
No, no normal person would think of having Gengar use dual swords, right?
However, the facts proved...
Shila-

The blue-purple lightning flashed and disappeared in an instant, bursting forth like fireworks the moment it touched the crow's head, with countless blue-purple arcs spreading out like an irregular spider web.

It was even accompanied by the faint sounds of countless birds chirping.

boom! !

The crow leader was instantly sent flying backward, with residual arcs of electricity still crackling on its body.

Finally, it crashed heavily to the ground.

boom--

Hand-held lightning strike, plus a lightning fist!

This is the move that almost destroyed the Weather Room at the Pokémon Academy in the past.

In the completely silent arena, the audience was momentarily stunned.

“Genga! ψ(｀Д)ψ”

More than seven miles!
The narration finally resumed after a long pause.

"Jing He, after reading Lei Si's tactics, launched a decisive and forceful attack!"

"Teacher Jinghe, are you serious?" Asha stammered.

Daigo nodded in deep agreement, "The Raiden Fist now includes a move with extremely high power right from the start, like the Thunder Master's move."

"Wow, so cool!" Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up.

Electric-type moves are so cool!

It was only then that the audience slowly came to their senses.

"Holy crap! A physical attack Gengar? Am I seeing things?"

"This is a Gengar? Why does it look a little different from the Gengar I know?"

"What a decisive attack! Did Teacher Jinghe read Lei Si's tactics first?"

"."

VIP seating area.

"Holding thunder in your hand, hahaha—so that's how you can use thunder!" Professor Oak laughed.

"Jing He's Gengar is already this strong?"

Shiba looked regretful.

Last time I was too busy with the skilled blacksmith. I should have had a full-team battle with Jinghe back then.

"Although the crow leader has lost its fighting ability, it has managed to get a tailwind, so theoretically the tactics were still successful," Uncle Liu said calmly.

Lei Si, with a stern face, put the crow leader back.

Was it read first?
After all, his crow leader had previously demonstrated extremely strong attack power and continuous combat ability when he appeared.

He thought that this tactical change, letting the leader of the crows take the lead at the start, would be unexpected.

I didn't expect it to be read first.

Jing He also shook his head secretly.

This is the difference between real-life battles and game battles.

If this were in a game, after reading the message, the Raven Leader wouldn't even be able to get a favorable wind and would be instantly killed.

In reality, however, the distance between the two Pokémon gave Crowmaster enough time.

"Raisin's second Pokémon is—Ninjask!"

After throwing out the Poké Ball, Raiji summoned an insect-shaped Pokémon.

Its head is yellow, its belly is black, and it has two pairs of wings and a pair of powerful gray forelimbs.

Ninjago, a Ninja Pokémon, is a Bug/Flying type Pokémon.

This is an extremely fast Pokémon, and some people even believe that because of its speed, it can dodge any move.

As soon as the Iron-Faced Ninja appeared, his two pairs of wings began to flap rapidly.

Already fast, it became even faster with the help of a tailwind.

It tumbled and flew around the field, as if dancing in the air.

"I thought it was a ghost cicada," Jing He muttered to himself.

If you're so capable, why don't you let Gui Chan bring seventeen or eighteen imposing sashes onto the field?
Gengar, on the other hand, reacted rather strongly.

"Genga?"

Ninja?
It took out its sunglasses again, put them on, and pointed at the flying iron-masked ninja.

"哏GA~(`)︻デ═一"

Do you want to dance too?

Iron-Faced Ninja: ?

buzzing-

More observant viewers might notice that the already fast Iron-Faced Ninja's speed is constantly increasing.

Acceleration features?

[Speed ​​Up: Pokémon with this ability will continuously increase their speed.]

With its tailwind and acceleration properties, the Iron-Faced Ninja's speed is unimaginable.

This is a very typical example of a successor.

Jing He suddenly realized.

"Iron-Faced Ninja, Sword Dance!" Lei Si commanded, his brow furrowed.

A dark red updraft appeared around the rapidly moving Iron-Faced Ninja, and its aura quickly rose as well.

However, Jing He also said without hesitation:
"Gengar, Nasty Plot."

Since we're aiming for a boost, let's all do it together!
"Genga!!"

A cunning glint appeared in Gengar's eyes, and surging black mist erupted from its body, its aura soaring.

“Amplify together? That’s not a good choice,” Uncle Liu said.

Professor Oak remained calm and smiled, "Jing He definitely has his own plans."

Seeing that Jing He had actually chosen to enhance his power along with him, Lei Si's face revealed a cold smile. Since that's the case...
"Iron-Faced Ninja, perform the Sword Dance once more!"

But Gengar's actions changed.

Sudden——

A black sphere hurtled toward the Iron-Faced Ninja.

"Iron-Faced Ninja, get out of the way!" Lei Si shouted in a low voice.

buzz-

The black sphere grazed past the Iron-Faced Ninja's body and finally crashed to the ground with a "bang".

This made both Lei Si and the Iron-Faced Ninja secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Okay
however.

Gengar grinned maliciously.

It’s not that simple.

"Genga! Genga! Genga!" (Ora! Ora! Ora!)

"Hiss—so many Shadow Orbs?! Are you cheating?!" "Really? Are you using Shadow Orbs like a seed machine gun?"

Exclamations erupted from the audience.

Lei Si's pupils also contracted sharply.

This is unreasonable!

A massive number of shadow orbs, like a dense barrage of cannonballs, rained down on the location of the Iron-Faced Ninja.

Dodge?

Gengar does not exist.

No matter how fast you go, you're still vulnerable to being overwhelmed by enemy fire.

Boom! !

In an instant, the half of the field where the Iron-Faced Ninja was located was covered by roaring noise and thick smoke!

Lei Si's face was grim, but he still hurriedly gave instructions:
"Iron-Faced Ninja, take the baton!"

He secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately.

The Iron-Faced Ninja was wearing a powerful aura sash, so he wouldn't be instantly killed.

With Tailwind, Ninjazuki's Speed ​​Boost ability, and Swords Dance, Raiji is confident that his next Pokémon will be able to sweep the team!
however.

Before he could finish speaking, Jing He's voice ended even earlier.

Or rather, Jing He had already spoken before he did.

"Spiritual!"

I saw.

As the dust settled, a red ribbon flew out from the Iron-Faced Ninja's body, as if driven by some special power.

In turn, it bound the iron-faced ninja whose body was emitting a white light.

boom--

finally.

The masked ninja fell to the ground, unable to fight!

Gengar bounced around on the ground with a grin.

Sorry, your dancing isn't as good as mine!

"Jinghe has read the battle again! Iron-Faced Ninja is unable to battle! Leisi has already lost two Pokémon!" the commentator shouted.

to be frank.

If it's a player like Xiao Zhi, Jing He really can't read it first, because Xiao Zhi's style is purely random.

But Lei Si's fighting style, which follows a set pattern and predetermined tactics, is too simple to read at first glance.

The people in the Pokémon world are still too naive.
"Wow, I'll use your gadget to finish you off! That move is so flashy! No wonder you're called 'Spiritual Flamboyance'!"

"The tactic was about to succeed, it was just a hair's breadth away, but this feeling is even worse than being instantly killed in the first place!"

"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit; Teacher Jinghe is destroying their spirit!"

what?
To kill someone and then destroy their spirit—how terrifying!

At this moment, Lei Si's expression was extremely ugly.

It was just a tiny bit off, but it just happened to be that tiny bit off.
But the battle must continue.

The tailwind is still there; the situation hasn't completely turned into a disadvantage.

Lei Si took a deep breath.

"Roar!!"

Dust billowed as the ferocious beast, covered in dark brown fur, roared wildly, creating waves of air and an aura of terrifying intimidation.

Those seated near the front swallowed hard.

Circle Bear!
A hibernating Pokémon, Normal-type!
I can tell.

This is one of Lei Si's trump card Pokémon, prepared specifically to counter Jing He's Gengar, which he had never deployed.

If the Iron-Faced Ninja successfully completed the baton relay tactic, then the Ursaring, which has received several speed boosts from Tailwind and Sword Dance, will undoubtedly become extremely terrifying.

Even if the baton is not successfully passed, Gengar, as a Normal-type Pokémon, will still put it at a significant disadvantage.

Because Ghost-type moves cannot hit Normal-type Pokémon.

Most Normal-type Pokémon can learn a large number of moves that are not their own type!
呲!
As soon as the Circle Bear appeared, a wisp of flame rose from its body.

Flame Orb!

The item carried by the Circular Bear is actually a Flame Orb!
This caused the circled bear to be in a "burning" state.

The burning flames caused the already ferocious circle bear's eyes to glow crimson, and it roared with overwhelming power.

"Roar--!!"

Even without the help of the Pokédex, Ursaring's characteristics are quite obvious.

will!

[Guts: When a Pokémon with this ability is in a status condition other than near death, its Attack stats increase by 50%, and it ignores the effect of burning, which halves the power of non-fixed damage physical moves.]

Jing He nodded thoughtfully.

Even he had to admit that Lei Si's preparations for fighting him were indeed quite thorough.

"Teacher Jinghe, aren't you going to replace your Pokémon yet?!"

"Do you want Gengar to face off against a Ursaring like that?"

Even if the baton-taking fails, Circle Bear still has a significant advantage!

But Jinghe and Gengar remained remarkably calm.

Lei Si squinted, feeling that he was still being underestimated.

Even with his tactics disrupted, he still had confidence in Quan Quan Xiong.

"Since you're so bold," Lei Si said coldly, "then I'll grant your wish!"

"Circle Bear, earthquake!"

"Roar!!"

The circly bear raised its foot high and then brought it down heavily.

Boom! !

The ground of the entire arena trembled violently, centered on the Circly Bear.

Fine cracks spread out, and countless rocks were shattered.

"Genga~~"

The chubby little boy with purple skin bent his knees, jumped with all his might, and leaped high into the air.

"Hmph! Useless!" Lei Si sneered.

The ground trembled, and under Ursaring's control, rocks and pillars sprang up from the spot where Gengar had jumped.

Without the Levitate ability, Gengar cannot dodge Ursaring's attacks.

But the next second.

Jinghe smiled.

He whispered, "Gengar, swap abilities."

Gengar let out a strange laugh, a glint of light appearing in its eyes, and an invisible force connected it with Ursaring.

In the blink of an eye.

Gengar's ability became Urge, and Urge's ability became Cursed Body!

呲——

The resurgence of scorching flames halved Ursaring's physical attack power.

Gengar lightly stepped on the raised rocks and pillars, and flew higher into the sky.

An earthquake with half its power is simply not enough to cause a fatal injury to Gengar.

"This"

The audience stared wide-eyed.

I never expected that Jinghe and Gengar had such a hidden trick up their sleeve!
"哓GA!"

The Gengar, flying high in the sky, struck a pose resembling the breaststroke, which was quite adorable.

It shouted at the circled bear on the ground.

It attracted the attention of the circle bear.

next moment--

Hypnosis!
The Ursaring's eyes shimmered with rings of light. After exchanging a glance with Gengar, it lay down on the ground and fell fast asleep.

Jinghe smiled and continued, "Gengar, dream eater."

With a "roar," Gengar absorbed Ursaring's nightmare.

The stamina that had been previously consumed was instantly restored to full.

Seeing this, Lei Si quickly took out a Poké Ball and recalled Ursaring.

A sleeping Ursaring can only serve as a gas station and a fixed healing potion for Gengar.

One second the audience thought Gengar was in trouble, the next second the situation was completely reversed.

Who says Gengar can only use Ghost-type moves?
Our psychic-type moves are pretty good too, okay?
"Gudong-"

Looking at Gengar's relaxed and cheerful face, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard again from the audience.

"Why do I have this feeling that Teacher Jinghe isn't right? Is Gengar starting to act like a monster?"
