Chapter 201 201
"I remember who he is!!!"
Excited shouts erupted from the crowd.
"He's Ah Hai—the third-place winner of the last Silver Conference!"
Third place at the Silver Conference—Ah Hai.
Everyone present became alert. Unlike the earlier unknown challengers, Ah Hai was already a well-known Trainer.
"Silver Conference?" Sam smiled faintly.
The third-place finisher of the last Silver Conference versus the champion of this Indigo Plateau Conference—that was quite the matchup.
Just from the way Ah Hai walked onto the field, his presence was clearly several levels above the previous challengers. His confident stride even made Sam chuckle to himself.
After Yellow had Ah Hai briefly introduce himself, she announced the start of the match.
"Come out, Feraligatr!"
Ah Hai threw his Poké Ball with a confident smile.
Water versus fire.
He believed his Feraligatr could definitely defeat Sam's Charizard.
Unfortunately, he was celebrating a bit too early.
Sam had already planned to switch Pokémon. The moment Feraligatr appeared, he recalled Charizard.
Ah Hai's smile instantly froze.
He had already prepared strategies specifically for Charizard—but now, all of them were useless.
Still, he didn't complain. Everything was within the agreed rules.
Now that the challenge had reached its peak, Sam stopped holding back.
It was time to show his true strength.
"Come out, Gengar."
Sam tossed a Poké Ball to the center of the field.
With a crisp bang, black smoke spread out.
From within it, a shadowy Ghost-type Pokémon slowly emerged—
Accompanied by a chilling, mischievous laugh.
"Keh heh heh…"
The moment Gengar appeared, the audience exploded with excitement.
"It's here! Sam's Gengar is here!"
Many Trainers who had seen Gengar battle before couldn't hide their excitement.
"It's Gengar…" Ah Hai let out a small sigh of relief.
His Feraligatr knew Dark-type moves, which gave it some advantage against Ghost-types.
Seeing Ah Hai relax, Sam almost didn't know whether to laugh.
It was obvious—
Ah Hai hadn't watched his matches in the Silver Conference.
Back then, even Karen's Dark-type team couldn't handle Gengar.
And now, a Feraligatr thought it could win with Dark-type moves?
Too naive.
The outcome of this battle had already been decided.
The only question was—
How long Feraligatr could last.
"Gengar versus Feraligatr… this should be exciting!" a boy in the audience said.
"Pfft."
"What are you laughing at?" the boy asked, not offended.
"You didn't watch the Indigo Plateau Conference, did you?"
The boy shook his head. "I'm from Johto. I planned to watch the replay, but I've been too busy."
"Then you should know Karen—she's from Johto."
"Of course! She's my idol! She's beautiful, and her Pokémon are strong. People say she's already at Elite Four level!"
"Then go watch the Indigo Plateau finals."
"The one Karen lost… was against Sam."
"What?!"
The boy froze in disbelief, but before he could ask more, the battle had already begun.

Feraligatr
Type: Water
Strength: High Gym Level
Potential: Gym Level

This was the strongest opponent Sam had faced so far.
Good thing he had recalled Charizard.
Otherwise, with its stamina already drained, defeating this Feraligatr wouldn't have been easy.
Feraligatr stood upright like a massive crocodile, its huge jaws lined with terrifying fangs.
Its bite force was powerful enough to seriously injure an opponent in one attack.
It had a violent temperament—
And once angered, it wouldn't stop until it had bitten its target.
Before the battle even began, Gengar floated around it playfully, clearly provoking it.
Feraligatr was already irritated.
The moment the referee signaled the start—
It snapped.
Ah Hai didn't stop it.
In fact, this was exactly what he wanted—
A fast, decisive opening attack.
"Feraligatr, use Crunch!"
A good Trainer plays to their Pokémon's strengths.
And Feraligatr's greatest weapon—
Was its powerful jaws.
Normally, it wasn't very fast.
But once it went on the offensive—
Its speed was explosive.
In an instant, it closed the distance.
Its massive jaws opened wide—
And snapped down on Gengar.
At that moment—
Gengar stood completely still.
As if frozen in fear.
Only showing panic at the very last second.
"I've got it!"
Ah Hai clenched his fist in celebration.
But—
Bang!
Feraligatr suddenly let out a painful roar.
The "Gengar" it bit into—
Was just a shadow.
The real Gengar floated behind it, completely unharmed.
Meanwhile—
Feraligatr's jaws trembled violently from the force of its own bite.
