Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"My name is Wang Jin, and the Pokémon I use is Gastly!"

Wang Jin said, then he took out Gastly's Poké Ball and threw it gently onto the stage.

A black ball ghost covered with purple gas quickly emerged from the red and white ball. It was Gastly.

After some battles and training, Gastly's strength is now at the peak of its growth level, probably around level nine or ten, similar to Heartscale.

"It's Gastly!" The trainers watching started talking.

"Gars in Galar are rare, and this one looks quite talented."

"I originally thought he was just a silly boy who coveted dragon scales, but now it's hard to say who will win..."

"Hmph, this Heart Scale Pokémon is different from the others. Do you see the scales on its body? Ordinary Heart Scale Pokémon don't have such golden scales. You can tell at a glance that it has an extraordinary talent and has been nurtured by many dragon-attribute resources."

Some trainers are still not optimistic about Gastly and just shake their heads at this ghost-attribute Pokémon.

The noise among the onlookers was getting louder and louder, and the noise attracted many other trainers who were already on the battlefield, but it did not interfere with Wang Jin and Kabali who were inside the telekinesis barrier.

Kabali's body was full of muscles, and you could tell from the long and hard training. The same was true for his Heart Scale Baby. Although it was only a juvenile, the four legs wrapped in golden scales were strong and powerful, and the shape of muscles could be vaguely seen.

Gastly was swaying in the air, looking down on his opponent who couldn't even fly.

"Heartscale! Jump up, Dragon Tail!" Kabali waved his arms and shouted.

Just as Wang Jin thought, this Heartscale Treasure really only has one move, Dragon Tail, that can cause effective damage to Gastly.

However, Heartscale is not as clumsy as ordinary growth-level Pokémon. It is quite agile. This four-legged young dragon can jump to a height of six or seven meters with a light jump, the same as Gastly. The golden scales at the tip of its tail are like round blades and glow dark purple.

"Gars, keep floating upwards!" Wang Jin ordered urgently.

Gastly also sensed the sudden danger, and subconsciously followed the order to fly upwards another three or four meters, all the way to the top of the telekinesis barrier.

Heartscale had nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, and its dragon tail could only sweep across Gastly's original position before it fell directly onto the battlefield.

Gastly's eyes widened, and he hadn't recovered from the shock just now. Seeing it like this, Wang Jin hurriedly shouted:

"Garsis! The opponent is strong! Use Shadow Ball!"

Gastly, who wanted to evade, was brought back to reality by Wang Jin's voice, and became more alert and careful towards the young dragon below. Several fist-sized ghost energy balls quickly condensed around Gastly's body.

Meanwhile, Heartscale was not idle either. Kabali knew that his Heartscale could not reach Gastly's current height, but he had a way to get it there:

"Heart Scale Treasure! Dragon's Tail Rising!"

After receiving the order, Xinlinbao's tail swung down violently, making a roar with the ground.

The dust that spread outward in a circular shape covered half of Xinlinbao's body for a short time, and the audience outside the venue saw it disappear from the spot in an instant.

The force of the dragon's tail ejection was very strong, and it did not slow down noticeably until it rose to seven or eight meters, but by then it was already very close to Gastly in mid-air.

"Nah!"

Seeing the opponent approaching in an instant, Gastly, with purple gas all over his body, let out a scream. He was very scared.

Gastly's potential was quickly stimulated, and the five shadow balls in front of him instantly accelerated and condensed, shooting directly towards the Heartscale Treasure in front of him.

"Heart scale!"

Xin Linbao once again swung out his dragon tail in mid-air, and the powerful dark purple energy immediately penetrated the two black shadow balls, making two crisp explosions.

But the remaining three shadow balls bypassed the dragon's tail and hit Xinlinbao's body directly.

Heartscale whimpered in pain again, and his body fell rapidly due to the force of the Shadow Ball. The dragon tail that had just instinctively hit Gastly to end the battle was deviated from its track.

There was another rumbling sound on the battlefield. The fallen Heartscale just shook its head, stood up and stared at Gastly in the air.

"Heartscale is too strong! Whether it's defense or speed... its overall physical quality far exceeds that of Gastly!" Seeing this collision, the surrounding trainers were also excited.

The strength of a Growth-level Pokémon like Heartscale is far beyond everyone's imagination. Even if the current Heartscale is used to fight against a Qualified-level Peak Pokémon that is one level higher than it, I'm afraid they can be evenly matched for many moves.

"No wonder this Kabali took out dragon scales as a prize. He never considered the possibility of losing!" The trainer who had thought about challenging Kabali sighed: "Garsis is good, but..."

But Gastly’s physical strength and defense were not enough to withstand even one attack from Scalebot!

Wang Jin tensed up and clenched his fists. He was very clear about this.

It would be extremely unfair to let Gastly, or any other Pokémon at a growth level, fight against Heartscale. Heartscale's physical fitness is completely overwhelming.

If it weren't for Gastly's ability to float and its ghost attributes, a normal growth-level Pokémon would probably be quickly defeated in the first attack.

But there is still a possibility that Gastly can win.

"Gars! Hypnosis!" Wang Jin growled the order immediately after Heart Scale fell to the ground.

Hypnosis is a low-level move with Psychic attributes, which Gastly can learn easily.

Hypnosis is a very useful and critical control skill at any level of combat. As long as hypnosis hits and takes effect, you can at least get two rounds of random attacks.

Kabali naturally understood this and immediately asked Xinlinbao to evade:

"Heartscale! Use impact to move!"

After using the collision to speed up, the already extremely fast Heartscale rushed around the battlefield. If the ordinary trainers were not keeping a close eye on it, they might be dazzled and could not catch the position of Heartscale at all.

The same goes for Gastly in the sky.

Although it is a Pokémon with much stronger dynamic strength, hypnosis is not an easy move to hit, and it is not a Gastly attribute and is not very proficient.

Of course Gastly will miss the move.

But what Wang Jin wants Gastly to release is not hypnosis!

He knew that Gastly knew this move, but in reality, they had never practiced it in training.

In the absence of special abilities for telepathy, in order to make it easier to give commands, Wang Jin not only used language in training, he also taught Chickadee and Gastly to coordinate by looking at his arm gestures.

During the short training period, Wang Jin only taught one thing.

That is, Wang Jin only needs to clench his fist to let Gastly use Shadow Ball, and he doesn't need to care about what he says.

The same goes for Chickadee, except the Shadow Ball is replaced with an Air Blade.

This way, you can use the information gap to deceive the enemy and launch an unexpected attack!
