Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

The basic panel of Haunter is:

[Name: Haunter]

[Attributes: ghost, poison]

[Level: Level 40 (Gym Master Level)]

[Characteristic: Floating]

[Items to carry: none]

[Mastered moves: Provocation, Shadow Fist, Hypnosis, Strange Light, Tongue Licking, Black Gaze, Tooth for Tooth, Resentment, Spell, Misfortunes never come alone, Dark Shadow, Raid, Wave of Evil, Shadow Ball, Hold on]

Haunter is higher in level than Garchomp, and its ghost attributes have no restraint with dragon attributes, and it is immune to fighting-attribute moves... Overall, things are different now than in the past, and Haunter has the advantage in both level and attributes.

More importantly, Haunter can fly and float in the air, while Scutum has to jump with all its might to attack.

If it was in the wild, the battle area was large. Even if the Scaled Dragon tried its best, it probably couldn't touch Haunter's smoke butt.

If Scaled Dragon wants to win, it can only rely on the trainer's command to build up advantages little by little.

Kabali also knew this very well, so the moment the Pokémon of both sides came out, he waved his hands and shouted:

"Scaly Dragon! Use Horrible Face!"

The Horrible Face can reduce the opponent's speed, which is the most commonly used and practical ability-changing move of the Scaled Dragon.

On the other side, Wang Jin also shouted at the same time:

"Haunter! Use Shadow Ball!"

On the battlefield, the Armored Dragon looked straight at Haunter. The gray energy around its body just floated and then transformed into a huge floating white face with its grinning, ferocious dragon head.

"scale!"

The Armored Dragon roared quickly, but more than a dozen basketball-sized shadow balls passed through the instant the floating face appeared and came in front of the Armored Dragon.

At this moment, Haunter did not choose to dodge at the beginning, nor did he leave the coverage of the scary face. If he wanted to be hit by the scary face, he had to take these dozen shadow balls!

"Get out of the way!" Kabali had no choice but to shout loudly.

He had never expected that in such a short time, the opponent's Haunter could condense so many high-quality Shadow Balls... This Haunter's proficiency in Shadow Balls was so high!

If the Armored Dragon insists on taking it, even though it won't lose its combat capability immediately, it will be on the verge of being seriously injured, and it will be difficult for it to continue fighting.

It's not worth it to exchange so much physical strength by slowing down the opponent.

The scaly dragon on the battlefield was waiting for orders. The moment Kabali spoke, its already tense thighs jumped back. When the terrifying face failed to use, the dozen or so shadow balls that attacked it also shattered on the ground.

"No... the opponent's strength is too strong." Kabali thought anxiously. After just one encounter, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

This battle is completely different from the previous battle between Gastly and Heartscale, and this Gastly is no match for Bluejay.

The Ankylosaur can withstand the air blade of Blue Crow, but it definitely cannot withstand the Shadow Ball of Haunter.

At this time, the crowd outside the battlefield was also very quiet.

Most of the trainers watching were experienced, and based on this simple move exchange, plus the comparison of the strength and attributes of both sides, they basically knew the outcome of the battle.

To them, this is normal.

Wang Jin, the famous man in the group, the hero who stopped the Pokémon riot in Suchuan Town...can definitely suppress a little-known strong man, even if the identity of this strong man is not simple.

Just by looking at this well-trained Scaled Dragon and combining it with the relationship between Kabali and Kibana, any trainer with a brain can guess that Kabali probably has a high status in the Dragon Family.

This battle is not simple! It is a fight between the group and the Dragon Family!

The battle between two gym leader-level Pokémon is naturally not very interesting. The excitement is probably yet to come...

In the battle, Wang Jin did not give the opponent a chance to breathe. Instead, when the Scaled Dragon just dodged backwards, he shouted continuously:

"Haunter, provoke! Add surprise attack!"

Haunter opened and closed its claws. It had just released a shadow ball, then stretched out one claw, and red light appeared in its eyes.

Provocation makes the opponent furious for a period of time, and can only release attack moves. Since it does not involve ability changes, the speed of provocation is very fast.

As the Armored Dragon continued to increase the distance, the strange red light covered its body, and stirred up a long-suppressed anger and resentment from its body.

"not good!"

Kabali was anxious, knowing that he had been tricked by the other party.

The situation in a battle was ever-changing. He only thought for two or three breaths, and the Armored Dragon, who kept retreating and dodging, missed the opportunity to negotiate and was directly caught by the opponent's provocation.

The Scaled Dragon roared angrily:

"Scales..."

Why would a noble dragon lose to this ugly black and purple thing in front of it?

Hit it! Hit it! Hit...

Without waiting for the trainer to give the order, the Scaled Dragon spontaneously gathered strength with its legs and leaped into the air.

Seeing this, Kabali hesitated.

The most appropriate method now is definitely to use the Poké Ball to quickly retrieve the Scaled Dragon. Although the opponent will definitely take the opportunity to use a move to enhance its ability during the exchange... it is still better than the opponent's unknown trap, which may cause the Scaled Dragon to be injured or even lose its combat ability.

But..

Anyway, in this battle, the Scaled Dragon was just playing around, and it rushed forward. What if it hits it?

While Kabali was thinking this, Haunter had already taken action.

The provocation move can make the opponent attack furiously, while the surprise attack move allows Haunter to attack before the opponent.

Pounce is an absolute priority skill, and can also be used as a displacement. However, there is a very important premise when using it, that is, the move that the opponent is about to use is an attack move, and then Pounce can be used.

If the opponent doesn't use a move that can cause damage, but instead uses something like Scary Face... the surprise attack will fail, and you will lose time and opportunities in vain.

Therefore, it works perfectly when used with provocation.

This was actually what Wang Jin thought of, a coordinated move for field battles.

If you successfully use a surprise attack in the wild, Haunter can instantly get behind the opponent's Pokémon and directly attack the opponent's trainer, killing it with one blow.

In the battlefield, the effect is quite good.

The Ankylosaurus jumped into the air while still roaring, and Haunter disappeared in an instant.

Before the Scaled Dragon could react, it felt a chill on its back. Haunter had already emerged from behind it and hit it hard with its ghost energy.

"Scales..."

The Ankylosaurus was knocked to the ground.

Without Wang Jin's reminder or order, Haunter naturally condensed several shadow balls in the gap between the falling of the Armored Dragon, and threw them all down, all of which landed accurately behind the Armored Dragon.

Perfect finishing blow.
