Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Chapter 410 Haunter vs. Garchomp

"Use a king-level Haunter?"

Zhulan half-clenched her fist and put it under her chin, and understood what Wang Jin meant.

They probably felt that using the first-tier Pokémon to win was unfair and wouldn't bring much combat experience, so they used the second-tier Pokémon of similar levels... or Pokémon that were more advanced in their training to fight.

She thought she could see the Steelix that was so powerful in the official Galar video.

That Steel Crow must be at the master level.

Zhulan knew that the level of the Pokémon in her hand was not as good as the other party's... After all, Wang Jin should be a quasi-master-level trainer, so she released Garchomp as the first one, hoping to gain some advantage.

Now if Wang Jin didn't use the strongest Pokémon at hand, she might have a chance of winning.

Zhulan curled the corners of her mouth and looked at her grandmother.

Mustard Orchid also raised his right hand and shouted:

"Both trainers are in position! The battle begins!"

"Greco-Shark, Quicksand Abyss!"

"Haunter, Re-enter the Shadow!"

The two sides started attacking at the same time as the battle started.

Zhulan's idea is very simple. She first tries using the attribute-restrained Quicksand Abyss. This large-scale move can not only make advance preparations for the sandstorm, but also effectively capture the figures of ghost Pokémon such as Haunter.

But what made her wonder was, what kind of move was the Heavy Shadow? She had never heard of it.

Wang Jin had long wanted to test the power of this fusion move.

Misfortunes never come singly. With the constant guidance of Teacher A, Haunter has mastered the fusion of Darkness and Shadow. With the private teaching of Gengar from Kikuko, Haunter has recently become very good at using this fusion move.

On the field, Land Shark folded its wings and stomped the ground hard.

In a flash, a wisp of quicksand formed by energy floated up from the edge of its paw, and in just half a breath, it stretched into the sky into a quicksand ribbon more than one meter wide.

In the blink of an eye, the quicksand ribbon split into more than ten strips on the field, spinning like a tornado and attacking the Haunter on the opposite side.

Haunter was not in a hurry, and had already clenched two balls of dark and flickering energy in his claws.

Just as the sandstorm tornado was about to approach, it closed its claws and pulled them outward violently, and a fiercely entangled black shadow burst out in an instant.

"boom--"

The yellow sand also exploded. In the sky full of sand and gravel, a dark ghost figure with fangs exposed jumped out from the center and rushed straight to bite the land shark.

"Use the dragon claws! Split it open!"

Zhulan waved her hand and shouted without hesitation.

A shadow attack from a king-level Haunter was easily split apart by the champion-level Garchomp's Dragon Claw.

Land Shark thought so too.

It raised its sickle-winged arm, and the sharp white claws at the tip glowed with dark blue dragon energy. The energy turned into a longer dragon claw, slashing down at the ghost in front of it.

The ghost was shattered.

Just when Lu Shark breathed a sigh of relief, he discovered that behind the scattered ghost shadow was a grinning black face.

There are also ghosts!

The ghost shadow had already approached Tyrannosaurus, and it was too late to use the dragon claws to block it!

Land Shark flew backwards into the air.

Feeling the pain, it saw the overlapping ghost shadows in front of it, which attacked in all directions the moment they touched it, as if it was hit by five or six dark shadows in an instant.

"Bite the land shark!"

Zhulan's pupils dilated suddenly, she couldn't believe what she saw.

How could Garchomp fail to chop a ghost into pieces?

No...it's several ghost shadows!

Several ghosts...

Zhulan had no idea how the moves could overlap. Was it that several Dark Shadows were released in an instant, or that one Dark Shadow was condensed into several?

She couldn't understand it, and neither could Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Tyrannosaurus twisted his body with difficulty in mid-air, and after landing on the ground, he immediately forced himself to stand up, with the string of vigilance in his heart already stretched to its utmost.

Just that ghost attack made it feel as if it had been hit head-on by a ghost Pokémon of the same level with all its strength, and now it was in pain all over.

If it happens again, it might just die.

Referee's box.

Yamanashi, who was hiding behind Mustard Orchid, asked subconsciously:

"It's Dark Shadow, isn't it? What kind of move is that?"

"Dark Night Demon..." Mustard Orchid muttered in a low voice, "It's Dark Night Demon."

She recalled the attack just now, one after another, and instantly figured out the reason.

"It should be a fusion move!" Mustard Orchid said with great confidence.

"Fusion moves?" Yamanashi had never heard of it.

Mustard Orchid explained faintly: "It means combining two moves of the same attribute with good compatibility and using them simultaneously. The effect is far greater than releasing them separately in succession."

"Oh..." Yamanashi stroked his beard and asked again, "Why doesn't Zhulan use it?"

"..."

Mustard Orchid was silent for a few breaths before replying:

"Zhulan can't do it, and neither can I. Only those large families with a long history will have people who specialize in teaching fusion moves. This is the experience that a family has explored over hundreds or even thousands of years to improve the combat strength of the next generation of Pokémon."

"Wang Jin is from a big family?" Yamanashi was a little shocked.

"This..." Jiazilan hesitated for a moment.

At least she can be sure that although Wang Jin is from Galar, he is actually from Kanto if you really trace his origins. This fusion move doesn't seem to be something he discovered himself, so it must have been passed down.

"His mother must have taught him that, right?"

I'm not so sure.

At this time, on the battlefield, Zhulan was a little anxious.

Haunter is a famous fragile Pokémon. If it is hit by a high-level move that has a countered attribute, it should be knocked out directly.

But whether the move can hit the target and whether it has any effect is another question.

Many of Garchomp's ground-attribute moves, or ground-attribute moves, work directly on the feet and the ground, and cannot attack Haunter floating in the sky at all.

If it follows the settings in the game, Haunter with the floating attribute will be completely immune to ground-attribute moves.

But in reality, it’s not that different.

Seeing Haunter disappear from sight on the battlefield, Zhulan hurriedly shouted:

"Gruisle! Use Dragon Breath!"

The Land Shark opened its sharp teeth, and blazing blue dragon flames swept in all directions.

Zhulan looked nervous, as she still hadn't found any trace of Haunter.

where is it?

On the other side, Wang Jin watched Haunter float high into the sky and shouted:

"Shadow ball!"

"in the sky!"

Zhulan noticed something was wrong and raised her head sharply, shouting:

"Greco! Dragon Breath!"
