Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 7: I have some insights into the three attributes of the Vicious Ghost.

"Please forgive my rudeness, Miss. Don't take what happened just now to heart. Shall we begin now?"

Mammon stomped Gengar back into the shadows, and Gengar emerged from another shadow, howling dramatically as it clutched its head.

Keen-eyed Gadria even noticed a large, bright red bump on the Gengar's head.

Cattleya tilted her head. Are all Ghost-type Pokémon like Gengar so... 'lively'?
Moreover, this Gengar is grayish-black; if I remember correctly, a normal Gengar should be purple.

That's a Shiny Gengar! That's interesting.

"please."

Caldelia's mind raced, and a polite, slight smile appeared on her delicate face as she extended her right hand to Mammon.

Elegant, extremely elegant, she exudes the noble air of a young lady from a prestigious family.

The two stood in their respective trainer positions in the training field, gazing at each other from afar.

"Although I'm just a sparring partner, may I ask anyway? It seems you specialize in supernatural abilities, Miss?"

"Indeed, sir. What are your thoughts?"

Caitlia openly admits that she does indeed love Psychic-type Pokémon, perhaps because she herself possesses psychic abilities.

She has a particularly special sensitivity to Psychic-type Pokémon.

"I wouldn't call it insightful, but the special training was definitely worthwhile."

Mammon grinned and tossed the Poké Ball in his hand with a backhand motion.

"The Pokémon I use is this one!"

With a low, eerie wail, a deep purple Pokémon floated in front of Mammon.

It seemed to be wearing a magic hat on its head, with golden eyes peeking out from under the brim. Its lower body resembled a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll-like doll), seemingly hollow inside, giving it an indescribable eeriness.

"Dream Demon".

Gadria immediately recognized the Pokémon as the Ghost-type Mismagius, the evolved form of Mismagius.

No wonder this person said 'the special training was right'. Ghost-type is super effective against Psychic-type, and this Mismagius looks to be quite powerful.

The feeling of unease that made Cattleya's skin crawl just from the quiet gaze was definitely not an illusion.

As a powerful psychic, Cattleya is very confident in her senses.

"It seems you are a very powerful Ghost-type Trainer, sir?" Cattleya's beautiful eyes sparkled; she was almost 'fooled' by the little incident just now.

She almost thought the boy was there to be funny.

“I have some knowledge of the three attributes: ghost, evil, and poison,” Mammon replied with a smile.

"Since you specialize in Psychic-type, Ghost-type is a challenge you can't avoid. Today, I'll show you how to battle with Ghost-type."

Mammon's smile slowly turned sinister, causing Cattleya's brows to furrow involuntarily.

"Also, a friendly reminder: although it's a sparring partner, Miss, you'd better not use that Kirlia."

Because Kirlia was far too weak in Mammon's eyes, she was of little use.

Why do they all have such bizarre attributes?
Gadria was taken aback. Ghost, Evil, and Poison—these three attributes didn't have a very good reputation among the many attributes.

Another prejudice is that these three attributes are mostly favored by people with evil intentions.

Well, for example, members of evil organizations in various regions really like to use these three attributes.

"Metrogross!"

Caldea suppressed these thoughts and decisively sent out her strongest Pokémon, Metagross.

"Mita~!"

A metallic hum resounded as Metagross floated to the front of Cattleya, ready for battle.

“Ladies first, so you may go first, Miss,” Mammon said with a calm smile to Cattleya.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony, Metagross!"

Cattleya swung her right arm.

"Use Bullet Punch to get closer!"

Metagross's two front paws gleamed with a metallic sheen as it charged at Mismagius at high speed. It unleashed a Steel-type priority move, Bullet Punch!
"A very impulsive and reckless fighting style. Facing an opponent whose strength is unknown, such a rash approach is not something a qualified trainer should do."

Mammon commented casually, without telling the Dream Demon to hide.

“?” Gadriya pursed her lips, her brows furrowing even more.

She was somewhat displeased by such a blunt critique, but she couldn't refute it.

With its preemptive strike speed boost, Metagross quickly rushed in front of Mismagius, its two giant claws slashing at Mismagius at high speed.

"Will-o'-the-wisp (phosphorus fire)."

Mammon gave the order without taking it seriously.

Ghostly blue flames appeared around the Dream Demon.

"Wait! Metagross!" Cattleya's pretty face changed slightly.

But it was too late; Metagross's Bullet Punch had already come down, and there was no time to retract the punch and dodge.

Bang bang bang!
The bullet punches relentlessly pounded the Misdreavus, but the ghostly blue flames also struck Metagross.

The dream demon endured the bullet-punch attacks, but it seemed to feel no pain; its wicked smile was utterly chilling.

The will-o'-the-wisp completely entered Metagross's body, and the next second, a violent flame burst forth from Metagross's body, causing Metagross to groan in pain.

The fire-type will-o'-the-wisp will definitely burn the opponent once it hits!

Cattleya bit her lip, her expression not very pleasant.

The most terrifying thing about burns is their negative effects. After being burned, a Pokémon's physical attack will be greatly reduced!

This is most difficult for a Pokémon like Metagross, which is strong in physical attack.

"It's alright, Metagross's special attack is also very strong, so next..."

Caldaria took a deep breath to calm herself. Her Metagross ability is Cleanse, which makes her immune to debuffs like Intimidate.

However, the decline in abilities caused by negative conditions such as burns cannot be prevented.

But that's okay, Metagross is a pseudo-legendary Pokémon that's almost hexagonal! Except for its slow speed, Metagross is nearly perfect.

Its special attack is also stronger than most Pokémon!
but……

“Curse (spell).” Mammon gave the order again.

Cattleya's pupils contracted sharply.

While Metagross was being tormented by the flames of the burn, Misdreavus grinned and laughed evilly, his laughter shrill and piercing.

A nail, emanating a gray, decaying aura, appeared and was aimed at the Dream Demon's chest.

Ding-ding-ding!

A chilling clanging sound reached their ears as the cursed nail slowly pierced the dream demon's body.

The nightmare demon had its eyes closed, its expression a mixture of pain and mad pleasure, which gave Cattleya a creepy feeling.

How can there be such a Pokémon?!

Cattleya pursed her lips tightly. Ghost-type curse, a move that curses the opponent by self-harm.

But using curses is extremely painful for Ghost-type Pokémon, so it shouldn't be like this, right?
and……

With burns and a curse, how is she going to fight her Metagross?

Cattleya's chest heaved rapidly.

Her emotions were fluctuating rapidly; her skirt and blonde hair began to move without wind, and a flickering, supernatural blue light began to shine in her eyes.

"Hmm? Are you about to lose control?"

Mammon noticed the change in Cattleya and looked at the superpowered girl with great interest.

Seemingly remembering something, Mammon quickly took out his phone and turned on the video recorder, preparing to capture the scene.

When the classic Pokémon can't beat them, the trainer goes berserk.

As for worrying about being accidentally hurt by Cattleya? Don't be ridiculous.

In contrast, he was curious about who had stronger superpowers, Cattleya or Natsume.
