Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

Gastly's attack is over, but Corsola's hasn't.

The burning effect of the will-o'-the-wisp cost it one-sixteenth of its strength.

then.

The massive, deep purple nail reappeared, the curse having drained its last quarter of strength.

boom--

Bangilas couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.

"Kou Jie?"

How did it fall over when I hadn't even used any force?

I'm very competitive.

Gastly grinned.

At the same time, a dazzling white light emanated from Gastly's body.

Gastly was enveloped in white light, and the mist continued to spread, slowly solidifying into a jagged purple ghost face with rows of spiky protrusions on both sides of its head.

Those big, round white eyes became narrow and triangular, giving them a more sinister look compared to before.

His black pupils flashed with eerie blue flames, and his short fangs transformed into sharp tusks.

As the white light faded, the transformed Gastly finally reappeared.

No, it should be called Haunter now!

Chapter 58 The Phoenix Badge!

"Hold the grass!"

"Evolving in battle, incredibly cunning!"

"Is Gastly here to grind experience?"

Maybe next time we should just remove the stands. There's so much complaining and grumbling after a match.

Lu Yuan was making plans in his mind.

"Scrape?"

'ω'

)?

"

Now I'm a ghost with hands too.

Gastly scratched its two claws that were hovering beside it, looked to the left and then to the right, seemingly finding it novel and fun.

With hands, we can turn the pages of a book without having to use our tongues anymore (???`?).

Ah Hong couldn't help but feel disappointed after getting Bangiras back.

Their strongest ace has lost; now they can only rely on Loz.

"Go, Rose." Hiro threw out the Poké Ball.

White light suddenly appeared.

A swallow that looks like a swallow has returned to the field.

"boom!"

As soon as it came out of the Poké Ball, Swellow was locked onto by Stealth Rock and knocked to the ground.

"Hiss!"

Why wasn't it there just now?

Stealth Rock of the Rock type is extremely effective against Normal type, while Swellow of the Flying type is highly effective.

"Scratching?"

Gastly scratched its head with its newly grown little claws. What's going on? It's not even the New Year yet, why are they already kowtowing to us?

Seeing the Great Swallow take flight again, Ahong comforted him.

"It's alright, Loz, it's not as fast as you. Use your wings to attack!"

Encouraged by its master, the Great Swallow rallied and prepared to launch a counterattack.

However, Lu Yuan preemptively issued the order: "Surprise attack."

Hiro: "..."

moment.

Gastly then came up to Swellow, stretched out its cute little claws, and lashed out.

"Snapped!"

One swipe and it's brimming with evil energy.

The Great Swallow was completely stunned and couldn't even bother with its wing attacks.

“The Frozen Wind,” Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Scrape hiss."

Gastly opened its mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of gas (crossed out) and a mouthful of cold air.

The chill air rushed straight towards the Great Swallow, instantly enveloping it.

While collaging, its speed decreased by one level.

"Great King Swallow, quickly create distance and use Feather Perch to recover!" Ah Hong commanded.

"Hiss~"

As soon as Swellow made a move, Gastly followed closely behind like a leech.

"provocative."

What happened...? My text was read first again?!

"Snapped!"

Another slap landed on Da Wang Yan's face.

Swellow stared at Gastly with disbelief.

Dude, other people just beckon with their fingers when they provoke you, why did you hit me?

Gastly: Tell me, did you provoke me or not?

Da Wang Yan: "......"

and many more!

This is more poisonous than the one in my pocket!

Wang Yan, whose right cheek was swollen, suddenly glowed purple all over. Her eyes were wide open and white foam kept coming out of her mouth.

Beside it was Gastly, grinning wickedly.

"Damn it, you're hiding drugs! You've got no money!"

"No—Great King Yan, I know you can hold on, get up... No!"

"You bastard, bullying a kid! If you're so tough, why don't you have a real fight with me!"

"Poison-type gym, is this the only way you can sneak up and attack with such underhanded moves?!"

Yes, it makes sense for the Poison-type gym to finish with a Poison-type move.

But I didn't let Gastly use poison!

Who taught them all?

Lu Yuan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

......

After the game.

Ah Hong has fallen into a state of existential doubt.

However, he was a man who had seen many storms and was not discouraged by this.

At least it was better than last time; I defeated one of the Gym Leader's Pokémon.

"Thank you for your guidance. I will come again next time," Ah Hong said, bowing in thanks.

Just as he recalled the spirit and was about to leave, Lu Yuan called out to him.

Ah Hong stopped and turned around in confusion, only to see Lu Yuan looking at him with a smile, slowly saying:

"Although you were unable to defeat me this time, based on your performance and ability, you are actually fully qualified to obtain the Wutong Badge."
