Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile!

Chapter 97 Gengar vs Alakazam, Tyranitar transforms, immune to Psychic moves!
As Sabrina's eyes lit up, the light of evolution also emanated from Zagira!
The light slowly faded, and a completely new Yagira appeared before everyone.

This is a golden fox that looks more mature.

The evolution of Kadabra—Alakazam!
Compared to Yakira, Alakazam gives off a more mature and composed vibe, with a sense of wisdom.

Alakazam, the Psychic Pokémon, is the evolved form of Kadabra. Its supercomputer-like intellect allows it to unleash a variety of psychic powers.

Ash opened his long-unused Pokédex and examined Alakazam. The Pokédex confirmed that this was indeed the real Alakazam.

In other words, Kadabra evolved in just a split second? And judging from Sabrina's tone, it seems she can choose to let Alakazam evolve.

This made Ash give Gastly a strange look.

What's going on? Isn't free evolution a skill you mastered over thousands of years? How come others can do it too?

Gastly gave him a helpless look—how was I supposed to know that the little girl you made me fight was a bit of a pervert!

Free evolution was a skill he had spent a lot of effort to master, but it seems this girl can also control the free evolution of the Pokémon.

He evolved freely on his own, while the Pokémon on the other side was evolved under the control of the girl, so the abnormal one is not Kadabra, but Sabrina!

After Kadabra evolved into Alakazam, its strength directly reached the Elite Four level, on par with Gastly.

Sabrina not only evolved Kadabra, but also increased its strength, which is a bit abnormal!
However, Ash quickly figured out the key point: perhaps it wasn't that Kadabra's evolution increased its strength, but rather that Kadabra was already at the Elite Four level, but its strength had regressed because its evolution was suppressed.

This may be the unique training method possessed by Sabrina and her spirit.

Indeed, evolution does help with level progression, but theoretically, one evolution cannot complete a small level jump within the Elite Four.

Elite Four level is Alakazam's true level, and Sabrina had previously suppressed Alakazam to the point where Abra could fight against those who came to challenge the gym.

Ordinary challengers can't even beat Abra, so Sabrina has no need to evolve Abra.

Maintaining Casey's form is a way for both Sabrina and Alakazam to train their superpowers.

But now she feels extremely heavy pressure from Ash and Gengar!
So he stopped holding back and directly turned Yagira back into Alakazam, releasing its suppressed psychic powers!

Gastly, you should evolve too!

"Okay, okay~" Gastly agreed, its body radiating the light of evolution. A moment later, Gengar appeared on the field.

Gastly's evolution doesn't involve leveling up like Kadabra's, since it doesn't regress by suppressing its power, but rather by using the illusion skill it learned over thousands of years.

Therefore, his level will not change regardless of whether he evolves or degenerates.

Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia were dumbfounded as they watched the two Pokémon evolve on the field.

This was the first time they had ever seen a competition like this. Before the battle, the two Pokémon were allowed to evolve. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Pokémon could evolve and degenerate at will these days!
"Let's begin, Alakazam, use Mirage Beam!"

As Sabrina finished speaking, Alakazam crossed the soup spoons in front of her, and a colorful beam of light flew out from the spoons!

"Gengar, Shadow Ball!"

Gengar placed his hands on his waist, and a jet-black energy ball formed in his hands.

The two attacks collided in mid-air, producing a loud booming sound!

Shockwaves rippled outwards; a battle between Champions is not something an ordinary arena can withstand, and the entire dojo trembled under the impact of these two attacks.

Sabrina completely ignored the dojo's offer. Instead, she looked at the spot where the two sides clashed, her cold expression twisting slightly, revealing a hint of excitement.

"That Alakazam is also an Elite Four level Pokémon?! Hey, if we keep fighting like this, this gym will collapse!" Misty only realized after the two clashed that Alakazam was an Elite Four level Pokémon, and one that was no less powerful than Gengar!

But now there's another problem: when two Elite Four level Pokémon clash, this gym can't withstand many hits!
Even if the Goldenrod Gym has ample funding and uses high-quality materials, it still can't withstand the energy generated by the collision of two Elite Four level Pokémon!

Both of them, the spectators watching here, are in danger!

Ash looked back after hearing Misty's exclamation and saw that Misty was holding Pikachu and was about to be blown away by the shockwave.

He turned his head back, and a blue light slowly shone from his body. Then, a visible azure barrier enveloped the field!

The barriers were square, positioned precisely at the four corners of the arena, and were also covered by blue barriers on the ceiling.

The moment the barrier appeared, the impact of the shockwave from outside the arena vanished instantly!
After Xiaoxia felt the fierce wind that had been blowing disappear, she opened her eyes, which she had unconsciously closed.

"What happened? How did it suddenly appear... Did you make that barrier, Ash?" Before Misty could even ask a question, she saw the blue barrier covering the field.

Since Sabrina's psychic powers and Ash's aura are both blue, Misty doesn't know who put that thing on the field.

"Hmm, this is a barrier I made using Aura. It should be able to withstand the battle of two Elite Four level Pokémon without any problems. Gengar, feel free to fight with all your might."

"Nonsense... I've already... used all my strength!!" Gengar put his hands in front of him, trying his best to push the Shadow Ball over. The Shadow Ball did indeed slowly suppress the Psychic Beam under Gengar's efforts.

In terms of pure numerical values, Gengar is still stronger.

A moment later, Gengar's Shadow Ball shattered the opponent's Psychic Beam and headed straight for the opponent's face!
"Teleport."

Naz calmly gave the order.

Alakazam vanished instantly, the Shadow Ball missing its target and striking Ash's barrier. The barrier rippled slightly but didn't even tremble, completely neutralizing the Shadow Ball's power. Seeing this, Gengar turned its head, looking at Ash as if he were a monster.

He thought he knew Ash well enough during the previous battle, and that he lost to Ash because he was careless. But it turns out that the power Ash showed was just the tip of the iceberg!

If Ash had set up such a barrier to prevent him from escaping during the battle, the battle would probably have ended much faster!
Xiaoxia and Xiaogang looked at Xiaozhi with disbelief. They knew that Xiaozhi had the power to create barriers, but this power was actually able to directly block the full-force attack of a high-level Gengar, a Champion-level being. It was just too abnormal!
Is this equivalent to a Champion-level Pokémon using Protect, and on a large scale at that!

A strange light also appeared in Sabrina's cold eyes. As expected of an anomaly like her, she could do the same thing. However, they were in the middle of a battle. Despite her surprise, Sabrina still ordered Alakazam to prepare for the attack.

"What are you looking at me for? Focus on the battle! Up here, Shadow Ball!" Ash quickly commanded when he saw Gengar staring at him in a daze.

You can't afford to get distracted during battle, especially when your opponent is a Champion-level Pokémon. If you get distracted even for a second, you're done for!

At Ash's prompting, Gengar quickly condensed a Shadow Ball and then blasted it upwards without hesitation!

A jet-black energy ball shot out, tearing through the void. Alakazam's figure appeared on the ceiling. He had already prepared his mental power, and his vast mental energy surged out to collide with the shadow ball!

The second time the Shadow Ball collided with the opponent's attack, it wasn't so easy for it to blast away the opponent's attack.

On one hand, Alakazam used Psychic after accumulating power for a while, while Gengar launched Shadow Ball hastily.

On the other hand, the illusion beam from before was no match for Psychic in terms of power, so when the two attacks clashed again, Gengar's attack was suppressed instead!

"Gengar, transform into a Dark-type Pokémon!" Ash commanded again as Psychic crushed the Shadow Ball and hurtled towards Gengar.

Gengar's eyes darted around, and then it transformed into a colossal creature that appeared on the field: the Desert Tyrant—Tyranitar!
The powerful mental attack struck Tyranitar, but it didn't cause any damage whatsoever. Tyranitar patted his belly, as if to say, 'Is this just tickling me?'

Upon seeing Gengar's transformation, Sabrina was taken aback, a hint of confusion appearing on her cold face. Although she rarely went out and knew little about Pokémon other than Psychic-type, she did know about Pokémon like Gengar, which were effective against Psychic-type Pokémon.

When did Gengar become able to perform the functions of Ditto? And even transform into a Pokémon of another type without any support.

"Hey, nothing's wrong. And I must say, you've got a pretty good grasp of type matchups." Gengar swayed back to its original form and smiled as it praised Ash.

Psychic-type attacks cannot damage Dark-type Pokémon, but the level difference between the two cannot be too great. Otherwise, even if the type attack cannot cause damage, the energy contained in it will be enough to give that Pokémon a hard time.

As I said before, the real world is not like the data in a game. Attribute counters and immunity are not absolute.

Even a Ghost-type can be harmed by the energy contained within a Fighting-type if the Fighting-type's power is strong enough.

"That Gengar is really freakish. If Ash hadn't taken action himself, even sending out a Champion-level Pokémon might not have been able to defeat it," Brock commented from the side.

There is a characteristic in the world called "changeable". When using a skill, the user's attributes will change to the corresponding attributes, and the skill will also receive a bonus from its own element.

However, such transformations require the user to use a skill to change their type. Ash's Gengar is too overpowered; it can transform directly without any medium or skill!
How could there be such an outrageous dream of breaking out of one's shell in the world?

"Alakazam, Teleport!" After the initial shock, Sabrina resumed her attack.

Alakazam began to flicker across the field, its figure elusive, making it impossible for Gengar to catch it.

"Psychic shock!"

"Gengar!" Although it was impossible to catch the opponent's figure, since the opponent used a Psychic-type move again, it would be fine to just switch back to a Dark-type Pokémon.

Gengar transformed into Tyranitar once more, its eyes darting around, ready to retaliate as soon as the opponent revealed itself, while remaining immune to their Psychic abilities!
A shockwave condensed from mental energy shot out from the void, but it was completely neutralized by Tyranitar.

But at the same time, Alakazam appeared behind Tyranitar, and at the same time, a green energy ball condensed in his hand and blasted it out!

"Gengar, watch out behind you!" Ash warned immediately when he saw Alakazam appear behind Gengar, who had transformed into Tyranitar, without warning, but his voice was a step too late.

Alakazam's Grass-type move, Energy Ball, blasted behind Gengar!
"boom!!"

Tyranitar's element is Dark and Rock, and Energy Balls can cause terrifying damage to Tyranitar!

A deafening roar echoed across the field, and Tyranitar was blasted into a stagger. It then transformed back into its original Gengar form, tumbling across the ground before crashing into the barrier created by Ash.

"Ouch! Ouch!! What the hell? How can a Psychic-type Pokémon use Grass-type moves? That's cheating! Cheating!" Gengar muttered, rubbing its back with its short arms.

This attack wasn't particularly damaging to him, whose stamina was at S level, but it really hurt!
"If we're talking about cheating, wouldn't it be cheating if you turned into that Dark-type Pokémon?" Sabrina said calmly, her face expressionless.

How dare this guy accuse her of cheating? She had never met such a shameless elf before.

Ash, on the other hand, looked thoughtful. Although the clash was fleeting, it revealed many of Alakazam and Sabrina's abilities.

The first is Alakazam's ability to multitask.

Teleportation, Mental Shock, and Energy Ball – these three skills are used almost simultaneously, with less than a second between them.

In particular, Alakazam is constantly using the Teleport skill. If you only look at it with the naked eye, you can't see it at all. This skill is used simultaneously with two other skills.

Although Ash has seen the use of two moves stacked together before, like Gary's Wartortle.

However, Wartortle's moves are released sequentially, not simultaneously.

Releasing a move simultaneously is like drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other—it's incredibly difficult. Generally, only Psychic-type Pokémon with strong mental fortitude can do this, and even then, they're not just any ordinary Psychic-type Pokémon.

This Alakazam is incredibly difficult to deal with, but what's even more difficult is the trainer behind it.
