Pokémon: Who told him to come out of Pallet Town!

Chapter 48: Natsume VS Giant Dragonite

"roar?"

The frenzied, giant Dragonite quieted down once again.

Seemingly never having seen another Pokémon of her size before, she curiously examined the Mega Gengar.

"Gengga?"

Gengar was also examining itself. It felt a violent energy accumulating within its body, but that energy seemed unlikely to last long before dissipating.

"Woo~" For some reason, the giant Dragonite in the enemy's territory became excited again.

This time, her gaze towards Natsume carried a hint of determination.

She raised her hand, ignoring the Dynamaxed Gengar, and continued to reach for Natsume on Gengar's head.

"Gengar, Mega Gigantamax Phantom!" Natsume commanded.

Gengar has extremely high Special Attack, and this one also knows Shadow Ball. It's been well-trained, and its Gigantamax Phantom Wraith will deal very high damage.

Most importantly, this move has a shadow-stepping effect, making it very difficult for the opponent to escape.

"Gengga—"

Gengar opened its gaping maw, its depths unfathomable, like the path of reincarnation.

Countless purple phantoms condensed in his mouth, as if countless souls were swirling around him.

The next second, these massive phantoms transformed into a torrent, rushing towards the unsuspecting giant Dragonite.

"Boom boom boom—"

The Mega Phantom and the Giant Dragonite collided, but the Phantom passed right through the Dragonite's body, producing a sound like water washing over it.

The giant Dragonite's body visibly stiffened for a moment, its outstretched hand frozen in mid-air.

She looked down, staring at her body in disbelief.

Was she injured?

This purple fat guy truly lives up to its reputation as the main force of the Ghost-type Elite Four. Even though it was its first time Dynamaxing, it used Gigantamax Phantom Spirit with effortless ease.

Natsume looked at the Gengar at his feet with satisfaction.

If it weren't for his high moral standards and the fact that Grandma Kiku's Gengar was a little bit strong, he would have wanted to join Team Rocket.

But it doesn't matter, Natsume can trick it into going to his breeding shop.

"Okay, Natsume-nii seems to have a good chance of winning."

On the beach, Ash looked excitedly at Natsume standing atop Gigantamax Gengar.

"If this continues, we might be able to catch this Dynamax Dragonite!" Zheng Hui's face was flushed, and his breathing was extremely rapid, as if he were the one who was fighting.

"Boom!" A sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, the gigantic Gengar beneath Natsume's feet trembled, and then its entire body began to collapse and shrink, turning back into a normal Gengar in a few seconds.

That's right, seeing this, the giant Dragonite's obsession deepened.

"Gengar?" Gengar looked at Natsume with disappointment.

"It's okay, watch me." Natsume patted the purple fat boy.

On the side, Super Ball Rotom fired another blue beam, attempting to repeat the same tactic.

"Roar—" The giant Dragonite stretched out its paw to block, and a transparent barrier blocked the blue beam of light.

"Can it be defended and blocked?"

Natsume was stunned for a moment.

Hiss—that makes Rotom from the Baby Ball series seem sunny and cheerful again.

"Gengar?" Seeing that the beam of light that could enhance him was blocked, Gengar looked at Natsume and asked what to do now.

"It's over, Mr. Natsume's Super Ball Rotom has very limited skill usage!" Jiaozi said worriedly.

As Natsume's assistant, she clearly knows more about Rotom from the Pokémon series than anyone else.

"Don't worry, trust Natsume-nii!"

"Look!" Xiao Gang exclaimed.

Only then did everyone realize that a barrier had slowly descended, enveloping the giant Dragonite and Natsume.

The rules-based battle arena is now open.

[Opponent detected to possess a divine attribute; current mode is Raid Battle, multiple Pokémon can be on the field simultaneously.]

[Our team does not have any Legendary Pokémon; Dragonite's Legendary status effect will apply.]

Upon hearing the system's voice, Natsume was slightly taken aback.

Divine office? Isn't that something only divine beasts possess? And not just any divine beast, but the strongest among the divine beast species.

On the other side, feeling the voice echoing in its mind, the giant Dragonite's determination to take Natsume away became even stronger.

"Go, Gengar, Great Ball Rotom!"

With a wave of his hand, Natsume summoned two Pokémon that stood in front of the giant Dragonite.

[Trainer Natsume used a full PP booster, and Great Ball Rotom's PP has recovered!]

Although PP supplements do exist in reality, they are rarely used by anyone except for explorers venturing into remote, uninhabited areas.

Because this thing takes a relatively long time to take effect.

But reality is reality, what does it have to do with my game?

Within the rules of the battlefield, PP supplements take effect in one second.

This means that as long as there are enough PP supplements, a Mega Ball Rotom can keep robbing the rich to help the poor, and a Gengar can become a Gigantamax.

"Robin Hood Ball! Gengar, get ready!"

[Gengar has Gigantamaxed due to the effect of the Robin Hood Ball!]

With a cold voice, the previously vanished Mega Gengar reappeared on the shore.

Amidst the rousing background music, Dragonite's eyes gleamed with excitement as it gazed intently at Natsume.

What are you doing?

Natsume got goosebumps all over; he felt that the giant Dragonite's eyes were very similar to the way his prodigy looked at him.

However, the giant Dragonite was doing it openly and legitimately.

"Super Giant Phantom Ghost!"

Fearing that the giant Dragonite would escape, Natsume quickly gave an order.

At the same time, the health bar above the head of the fast dragon was also revealed, and it had only lost a tiny bit of health.

Natsume glanced at it and sensed something was wrong.

Even a Dragonite with maximum Special Defense shouldn't lose this little bit of health after taking a Mega Dynamax Phantom Spirit before the battle, right?

Before Natsume could even wonder what was happening, the first Mega Gigantamax Phantom Spirit attack in the battle arena had already struck Dragonite.

[Due to the influence of the divine power, Dragonite receives fewer attacks.]

"boom--"

The giant dragon's health bar dropped by about one-tenth.

[Due to the divine influence, Dragonite's HP has been restored.]

The already abundant health bar rose again, meaning that two Super Giant Phantom Souls had whittled down the opponent's health by one-twentieth!

"What?" Natsume was dumbfounded.

Where did it get its divine authority?

"Whoosh—" Flames gathered in Dragonite's hand and slammed towards the Great Ball Rotom.

[Dragonite used Fire Punch!]

Due to the influence of its divine status, Dragonite's attacks ignore resistances and abilities.

"boom--"

The super tank Rotom fell instantly.

Natsume: "???"

Wait a minute, what is this?

Before Natsume could react, Gengar deactivated its Gigantamax form.

"Gengga!"

Gengar was startled.

Go for it, meow!

With Rotom down, Meowth was automatically assigned to the higher-ups by the system.

"No, meow!" Meow cried out in despair.

It desperately wanted to escape, but a strange force was holding it back.

"Gengar, Fate/stay night!"

[Gengar used Destiny Bond, binding him tightly to Dragonite.]

Dragonite remained silent, only throwing punches, and the flames coalesced once more.

Dragonite used Fire Punch.

Due to the influence of its divine status, Dragonite's attacks ignore resistances and abilities.

Gengar has fallen!

[Affected by the Fate/Destiny Bond, Dragonite fell!]

Both health bars are emptied at the same time.

"Great, meow!"

Meow Meow was in tears, even happier than Natsume himself.

Behind him, Natsume frowned slightly; he sensed something was amiss.

The giant Dragonite's health bar was emptied, but the battleground was still not over.

[Due to the divine influence, Dragonite's HP has been restored.]

Under Natsume's astonished gaze, the health bar on the giant dragon head turned full green again.

"???"

Why don't we just declare her the winner...?
