Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

Each time you use the "Misfortunes Never Come Alone" skill, you can precisely put your opponent into a hypnotic or confused state.

Both ultrasound and hypnosis have a high success rate.

It's almost guaranteed to hit, but the "misfortunes never come singly" skill has a unique characteristic.

If the opponent is afflicted with an abnormal status, you can directly detonate the abnormal energy on their body, causing double the damage.

This skill can be described as one that relies heavily on teamwork.

Compared to its own Gastly's moves, its usage was really crude.

The ominous aura was like a showerhead spraying everywhere; the two skills filled the entire training ground with an ominous aura and even made him feel weak.

The pre-animation time is also very long.

"Did you see that clearly, Gastly?"

"just!"

Gastly nodded.

His expression turned serious, and all the complacency he felt from just mastering the "Misfortunes Never Come Singly" skill vanished! He still had a lot of room for improvement!

This fighting style of Gastly was something it had never tried before, but it felt it could do it!

Whether it's ultrasound or hypnosis, it uses them no less effectively than this Haunter!

The only difference lies in the release of the "Misfortunes Never Come Alone" skill!

Looking at Gastly's expression, Bian Xiang smiled and said, "There's no need to be so serious. It's your evolved form."

"However, when this Gastly unleashed Misfortune, there was almost no dark aura flowing through its body."

"Perhaps you could try controlling the airflow around you."

Can you control the flow of dark energy around you?

Thinking of this, Gastly looked at the constantly flowing pale blue gas around it.

As Gastly's attention became increasingly focused!

The flow of the pale blue gas around Gastly is slowing down!

It maintained a slow rotation for about fifteen seconds, then suddenly the airflow started to rotate again.

"Yes! Well done!"

"Next, try to slow down your airflow! And hold it for longer!"

"Then try to bring that feeling into the skill of misfortune never comes singly."

"just!"

Gastly nodded.

The 23rd School Team Advancement Challenge

"Then try to bring that feeling into the skill of misfortune never comes singly."

"just!"

Gastly nodded.

Three days later, at the Haruno High School playground.

Bian Xiang stood quietly in the last row, watching Principal Okamoto standing in front of him, talking incessantly.

Gastly is in Bianxiang's shadow, and because of Gastly, Bianxiang's shadow looks somewhat out of place now.

It was especially noticeable under the sunlight, making it look like it was a whole size bigger than Bian Xiang.

Gastly discovered its second hobby: eating, the kind that's wasteful.

Not only did it destroy the cursed talisman in one bite, it also ate the ghost-type energy crystal that Bian had just obtained.

Thinking about this makes me feel a bit helpless.

The Ghost-type Energy Crystal was originally intended for Gastly to use when learning new moves. Each time Gastly used Misfortune, it would lick the crystal to recover and increase the learning effect. However, the same scene and the same action happened: as soon as the Energy Crystal was pulled out, Gastly smacked it down in one gulp, swallowing it whole and spitting out the user's hand in the process.

At that moment, Bian looked at his empty hands, at the constantly flowing air around Gastly, and at its slightly larger size.

I'm afraid this guy will just explode on the spot.

I searched the entire internet but couldn't find anyone who could digest this information so quickly. However, I did find a research paper that said Gastly is difficult to evolve because of its long lifespan. The longest-lived Gastly that hasn't evolved is the one from the Maiden Cliff in the Kanto region, which hasn't evolved for almost three hundred years and has been protected by the local government.

However, this guy has been quite adept at making troubles come in pairs these past three days.

The release speed has obviously increased, but the effect is still explosive, and the power seems to have become stronger?

It feels like Komatsu's Haunter has completely different skills.

Although it's not quite as good as the Gastly in the video, it should be enough for the current exam.

Bian Xiang squinted, looking at the five school team members standing in front of him and the elves standing next to them.

They've all evolved? The Flying-type Gym has this function? Bian frowned.

Isn't this evolution happening a bit too fast?

Moreover, these Pokémon all have such fierce eyes. Is there really such a big difference between the training in the gym and the school?

"I miss my brother."

"Um?"

Recently, everyone at school has been saying that the school team members who went away for a month came back as completely different people.

Especially that Lu Fangyuan, who caused a lot of complaints from the third combat squad.

"You've become a different person?"

.....

on the rostrum.

"Today is the third qualifying match for the school team!"

After saying that, Principal Okamoto stood there looking at the five students on the school team below.

He was quite satisfied with the training results of the school team.

All the Pokémon have completed their second evolution.

Principal Okamoto could say that this school team was the strongest he had ever led, bar none.

We could even try to secure a place in the top five of the Chengdu University Alliance!

The principal originally planned to have the school team participate in the Bellsprout Tower Climbing Festival, but after hearing that their Pokémon had already evolved, Principal Okamoto gave up on the plan.

It's unbelievable how talented these kids are; they've already completed their Pokémon evolutions. You know, some students in the combat class might not even be able to evolve their Pokémons by graduation.

However, recently there have been reports of these students using excessive force during battles against free spirits, which have reached the principal's ears.

The principal suppressed them all. In Principal Okamoto's view, it was normal for someone who had fought too many other trainers after returning from the dojo to lose control.

It will be fine in two weeks.

The principal looked at the students below the stage and continued, "The selection process will use a challenge system! In the past two days, each class has selected two reserve candidates for the school. All challengers, please come forward!"

Teacher Du stood on the podium, looking at Bian Xiang in the last row, a look of excitement flashing in her eyes.

Come on, think it over! Prove yourself!!

Bian Xiang sighed and walked up with Shi Shouxin.

"He is... thinking???"

"Holy crap, he has a Pokémon?"

"Has Eternal Trace arrived yet?"

"So he wasn't a fan of elves after all!"

"But I don't think Trumpet Sprout's name was mentioned during the tower-climbing festival?"

"It's common for some people to be strong in theory but weak in practice."

"And I remember thinking a few days ago that there weren't any elves yet, right?"

"Is it okay to just put someone in on the spot like this? There hasn't been any practice or coordination between you and the Elf Finger, has there?"

Is this method of selecting people acceptable?

"Is the Second Combat Squad unable to find anyone?"

The moment Bian Xiang stepped onto the platform, almost everyone in the school turned to look at him and began whispering among themselves.

This includes the teachers on the podium and the five school team members standing in the arena.

Lu Fangyuan stood below the platform, watching and thinking, then let out a cold laugh.

You actually came!! Now I'll show you what a true battle between elves is like!

The teachers on stage also focused their attention on Bian Xiang.

Has the former genius returned?
