Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

Chapter 813 - 431: Gengar vs Gengar, Hypnosis and Dream Eater—Instant KO!

"Elite Peak..." Ash squinted his eyes, taking in the information of the Gengar.

This Gengar’s strength was a notch above that of Banette, just a step away from Champion Level. Moreover, Gengar’s speed and special attack were exceptionally outstanding, a typical speed attack type Pokémon, completely different from Venusaur’s defensive stamina type.

"I didn’t expect Gym Leader Morty to bring out his trump card Pokémon so quickly; has Venusaur forced him into a corner?" murmured a student watching the battle.

"That’s not it! Gym Leader Morty must want a quick fight. I think that Venusaur must be Ash’s trump card; as long as he deals with that Pokémon, the others will be no threat!" complained another bystander named Ah Xiang.

It seemed he harbored a blind admiration for Morty, like Victor did for his father.

On the battlefield, Ash, upon seeing Gengar, had a glint of nostalgia in his eyes: "Gengar... it’s been a while since I battled with you."

Hearing Ash’s words, Morty immediately understood that Ash must also have a Gengar, but it was unknown if Ash had brought it along for this battle.

"Return, Venusaur." Ash recalled Venusaur, "Thank you for your hard work. Now it’s time for your predecessor to shine as well!"

"It’s you, Gengar!" Ash tossed a new Pokeball, and another Gengar appeared on the battlefield!

In terms of size, Ash’s Gengar was noticeably larger than the opponent’s, and the aura it emitted was entirely different!

"So, you have a Gengar too. It seems you’ve been planning to use a Gengar against my Gengar all along." Morty, seeing Gengar, was slightly surprised, but his words reflected a sense of inevitability.

Ghost-type Pokémon are very tricky for regular Pokémon, but if it’s ghost-type versus ghost-type, then it’s a different story.

Ghost-types are inherently countered by other ghost-types, and both possess equally unpredictable traits. Battles between ghost-type Pokémon focus more on the trainer’s command.

"Hoho, it’s finally my turn to enter." Gengar floated in mid-air, arms crossed, an evil grin playing on its lips, and its crimson eyes looked down at its similarly sized opponent, "This time’s opponent... seems to be a much smaller junior."

It spoke with a nonchalant tone, as if it didn’t consider the Elite Peak Gengar as a threat.

"It...it spoke?!" Morty’s pupils shrank instantly, subconsciously stepping back half a step, his face expressing disbelief.

Ghost-type Pokémon do possess high intelligence and are quite mystical, but it’s the first time he’s encountered one that could converse so fluently using human language.

Even for ghost-type Pokémon, they shouldn’t be able to speak!

What is the origin of this Gengar?

"It’s been a while since Gengar showed up." In the audience, Brock crossed his arms and wore a nostalgic expression, "Last time he appeared was at the Quartz Conference, where he was playing around and not fighting seriously at all."

Misty nodded, her beautiful eyes also filled with reminiscence: "When Ash first captured him, Gengar had already reached Elite Peak. Now, one wonders what level he is at..."

"Was this Gengar with Ash from the beginning of his journey?" Serena curiously blinked, her gaze fixed on the formidable purple figure, "And he can even speak, that’s incredible!"

"More than just incredible." Misty shook her head, "When Ash captured him, he could already freely evolve and regress, and he’s been alive for over a thousand years. If it weren’t for Ash, he might still be scaring people at Maiden Gorge now."

"Over...over a thousand years?!" Serena covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide open.

A Gengar that’s lived for over a thousand years? How strong must it be?

"But Ash rarely lets him battle." Brock added, "Because this guy is too strong, Ash feels he doesn’t have the right to command him until he trains some Pokémon strong enough."

"Ash has always been like that." Misty’s corners of her mouth raised slightly, her eyes showing a mix of helplessness and pride, "He always sets a bunch of inexplicable standards for his Pokémon."

Serena said nothing, merely casting her gaze back towards the battlefield.

The Gengar floating in mid-air was tilting its head, observing its fellow Gengar with great interest, its sinister grin irresistibly wide.

The way it looked was just like an old fox toying with its prey.

"Interesting, truly interesting." Gengar licked its lips, "It’s been a long time since I’ve fought another Gengar, little one, don’t disappoint me."

"L-little one?!" Morty’s forehead veins bulged; despite how impressive this Gengar seemed, his own Gengar was at an Elite Peak Level, and when it came to ghost-type Pokémon, he didn’t believe he’d lose to anyone!

Both were ghost-type Pokémon, and his Gengar had been around for decades now. Why would the other call his Gengar a ’little one’? Could it possibly have lived for over a hundred years?!

"Gengar, Shadow Ball!" Morty ordered coldly, deciding to respond to the disrespect with strength.

"Heh heh!"

Gengar thrust its hands forward vigorously, and a pitch-black Shadow Ball immediately condensed in front of it, dragging a long, dark tail flame, and with a shrill tearing of the air, it smashed towards Ash’s Gengar overwhelmingly!
