"Banjira, use Dark Pulse." Gary ordered.
Hearing the sound, Banjira sprayed a Dark Pulse forward. Although Banjira's figure was a little blurry due to the cover of Sandstorm, Banette still saw the attack of Dark Pulse, used Phantom Force, and hid in the different space.
Gary looked at the situation in the field. Because of Sandstorm, he couldn't see clearly and it was difficult to observe the situation in the field.
Although Banette was also blocked by Sandstorm, as a Ghost Pokémon, they can sense life energy. Even if they don't have eyes, they can judge the position of the opponent by sensing life energy.
"Banjira, use Screech!" Gary ordered.
"Ban~!"
Banjira let out a piercing roar Growl. At this moment, the space on the left side of Banjira moved abnormally, causing a ripple, and Banette popped out of it. Banette heard Screech as soon as she came out. Banette resisted the piercing sound and ran into Banjira headfirst.
"Payback!" Gary quickly counterattacked.
Although Phantom Force hit Bangira, Bangira didn't move at all. Hearing Gary's command, he immediately used Payback and slapped Banette away with one claw.
"Wow!"
Banette screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Just one hit seriously injured Banette.
If Payback was used after Rival attacked him, the power would be doubled. This time, Banette was hurt.
"Dark Pulse!"
Bangira took advantage of the victory and chased after it. Dark Pulse shot out of his mouth and rushed towards Banette quickly.
"Shadow Ball." Songye shouted hurriedly. Banette also condensed Shadow Ball in time. Just after throwing it out for less than two meters, Dark Pulse attacked and hit Shadow Ball and Banette together.
Boom!!!
A cloud of smoke rose.
When the smoke dissipated, only Banette was left in the pit, her eyes spinning.
"Banette lost her ability to fight, Bangira won!" Shuijing announced.
Seeing Banette defeated by Bangila in two moves, Matsuba finally understood where Gary's confidence came from. At this time, he might be a Pokémon that can rival the Elite Four.
"Banette, come back and rest." Matsuba took back Banette and sent out the second Pokémon.
"Go, Gengar!"
Great!
Matsuba sent out Gengar.
[LV54 Gengar3/ Elite]
Seeing Matsuba's Gengar, Gary understood why Matsuba was willing to send out Gastly (acbc) [with a potential Gengar who already has the potential to be a Tenth Song Master.
It seems that Matsuba has more than one Gengar. The Gengar used in the battle with Ash should only be at the gym level.
"Gengar, use Mean Look." Matsuba ordered.
Gengar's eyes shot out soul-stirring light, shining on Bangila, making it surrounded by an invisible energy. As long as Gary wanted to take Bangila back, he would be stopped by this energy.
"Dark Pulse!"
Bangila ejected Dark Pulse, and the beam rushed straight towards Gengar. Gengar also fired Shadow Ball to counterattack without giving in.
Boom!!
The two skills intersected, and Shadow Ball touched Dark Pulse and exploded instantly. The shock wave of the explosion successfully interrupted Dark Pulse.
It can be seen that in the confrontation between Bangila and Gengar, Bangila was better.
"Gengar, use Dazzling Gleam!" Songye ordered.
"Gengga!"
Gengar's whole body was filled with light, and a dazzling light instantly shone on Bangila. Bangila felt very uncomfortable, but it was not a big deal.
In Sandstorm weather, the special defense ability of Rock Pokémon increased by 1.5 times, and even Fairy's Dazzling Gleam could not cause much damage to Bangila.
"Such strong defense... It's the Sandstorm weather." Songye frowned. He also saw that it was because of the Sandstorm that Bangira was so resistant. If the Sandstorm weather was not resolved, Bangira would be a Mega meat shield.
" Stone Edge!" Gary ordered.
"Bang!!"
Bangira roared, and stone blades rushed towards Soaring in the sky. With Sandstorm as a cover, it was almost impossible to see the attack trajectory of the stone blades.
"
Gengar, use Dazzling Gleam!"
Songye ordered hurriedly.
Gengar used Dazzling Gleam to resist, but the stone blades created by Bangira were too strong.
They forcibly suppressed the strong light of Dazzling Gleam.
The stone blades were like a star that exploded in the sky and completely suppressed Gengar.
Boom!!
The energy of Dazzling Gleam could not be dissipated. After being squeezed to the limit, it exploded and Gengar was blown away.
"Dark Pulse chase!" Gary attacked continuously, and Bangila sprayed Dark Pulse to chase, Assist Sandstorm covered, until Dark Pulse approached, Gengar reacted and immediately used Shadow Ball to counterattack.
Boom!!
Shadow Ball touched Dark Pulse and exploded instantly. The impact of the explosion sent Gengar flying to the ground.
"Gengga!!"
Gengar fell to the ground and wailed. Although he was seriously injured, he did not fall down.
"Genggar, use the spell." Songye Alliance ordered.
"Gengga!"
Gengar cast a spell, and the power of the curse spread. Gengar sacrificed his own Rival's physical strength and fell to the ground.
"Genggar lost his ability to fight, Bangila won." Shuijing said.
Gengar finally sacrificed all his physical strength to cast a spell and put Curse on Bangila.
"Really tenacious." Gary said.
Songye asked Gengar to use Mean Look right at the beginning, with the purpose of using Curse if he found that Gengar was not Rival.
The skill of Curse in the game reduces the amount of stamina in proportion. In reality, the same effect exists, but it is not proportional, but depends on the strength of the Curse. The stronger the Pokémon, the greater the effect of the Curse when the Curse is released.
Songye's Gengar has the strength of a quasi-elite, so the Curse he casts will naturally be more powerful, but how powerful it is is still unknown.
"Gary, you are the strongest Trainer of your age that I have ever met." Songye praised.
"Mr. Songye, let's continue the gym battle and stop wasting time." Gary said.
Songye was stunned, then smiled and said: "Then continue, I will send out my strongest Pokémon."
"Go, Mismagius!" Songye threw a Poké Ball.
Great!
A purple Mismagius that looks like a witch appeared.
[LV57 Mismagius♀/ Elite]
Gary had always thought that Songye's Trump Card Pokémon was Gengar. Now that he saw the Mismagius sent out by Songye, he realized that Songye was from the Johto Region, so it was normal that the main Pokémon was Mismagius.
"Dark Pulse!" Bangira fired Dark Pulse, but it didn't hit Mismagius. Mismagius relied on his ability to fly and flew into the sky to dodge.
"Stone Edge!" Bangira used Stone Edge and began to chase Mismagius. .
