Chapter 256 Battle against Komatsu (Second Bonus Chapter)
"Gengar uses Sludge Bomb!"
With a flick of his tongue, Xiao Song's black, fat, and big tongue sent several blobs of highly toxic phlegm flying towards Emperor Yan.
"Why is sludge being flung out of the tongue?" Xiao Zhi didn't know if this could be considered a different kind of spitting out feces.
The sludge looked disgusting and smelled terrible.
If a Pokémon with thick fur like Entei were to be hit by this attack, it would be a real hassle to clean it up afterwards. Ash thought to himself and quickly ordered Entei to dodge.
"Emperor Yan retaliates, Sacred Fire!"
After yesterday's intense shock from the power of the waveguide, although the situation was a bit tense at the time, Emperor Yan is now able to jump around several more times.
Moreover, Yan Di's obedience has increased several times over; he is now Ash's loyal guardian lion.
Xiaosong's Gengar is very well trained. Its Sludge Bombs are powerful and numerous.
After dodging the first few spittle spurts with a few leaps, Emperor Yan still couldn't avoid getting the hair on his feet covered in the foul-smelling mud.
Fortunately, he was not poisoned, but the usually clean-loving Yan Emperor was still furious and quickly turned around to unleash his strongest divine fire.
The sacred flame, meticulously condensed by the old man, instantly burned the clumps of sludge that Gengar had flung out again to ashes.
The powerful flames blazed up, instantly raising the temperature inside the dojo by several degrees.
Gengar originally intended to use its levitation ability and superior speed to dodge incoming attacks and find an opportunity to strike.
However, Entei unleashed a barrage of Sacred Flames, completely blocking Gengar's escape routes. Eventually, one of the Sacred Flames struck Gengar's round body directly.
Gengar let out a few cackling cries and slowly descended into the flames.
"Hold on, Gengar! Don't forget our previous training! Use Toxic Spikes!"
"Goblin!"
In response to its trainer, Gengar stubbornly held on, managing to unleash a series of small, black-purple-glowing spikes at the last moment. These spikes immediately sank into the ground upon landing on Ash's half of the field, after which Gengar's head lolled to the side and it passed out.
"Gengar is unable to battle!" The referee waved his flag, and the first round ended exceptionally quickly.
"As expected of the Flame Emperor, what a powerful attack!"
"With just one hit, Mr. Komatsu's ridiculously strong Gengar was defeated—"
Seeing the outcome of the first match, the surrounding students couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Yesterday, when their teacher, Komatsu, said that he would be battling a legendary Pokémon today, they didn't quite believe it.
But now, seeing Yan Di's every move, they cheered. It was a great opportunity to witness a battle between legendary Pokémon.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, Emperor Yan even had to adjust his posture to appear more majestic.
"No wonder that brat Babaozhou likes to run into the middle of crowds so much."
After all, even when Entei just takes a few steps, the students around him will applaud. This kind of feeling can easily make Pokémon feel smug.
"Emperor Yan, the incarnation of volcano—I've learned a lot. These are truly powerful fire skills."
Although Gengar was defeated, Komatsu did not show any discouragement. He recalled Gengar and quickly sent out his second Pokémon.
"Go, Night Demon!"
This is a Pokémon whose body is mostly black, with a ghostly tail but no feet.
It has a gray head with a yellow, disc-shaped antenna on top, and the patterns on its belly look like a face.
"This is Dusknoir." Ash took out his Pokédex and checked it off.
Unlike the previously agile Gengar, Dusknoir appears noticeably clumsy and slow-moving from the moment it appears.
"Emperor Yan uses the sacred fire once again!"
Since Ash now had the speed advantage, he didn't hold back and immediately ordered Entei to attack.
And the Night Demon was indeed unable to dodge; rather, it didn't even try to dodge.
The holy fire struck the Night Demon in the abdomen, and it immediately let out a painful howl.
However, unlike Gengar, which has weak field presence, Dusknoir, while also having low HP, has extremely high defense.
Barely managing to withstand the attack of holy fire, the Night Demon was not defeated in one fell swoop.
However, at this moment, a burst of flames suddenly erupted from the Night Demon's body, and it was engulfed in flames.
"Oh dear, it seems luck isn't on my side either," Xiaosong said with a wry smile.
Once engulfed in a burning state, the Night Demon's attack power is halved, rendering its attacks ineffective in this battle.
But this doesn't mean the Night Demon is useless.
"The Night Demon has used Trick Space!"
"Emperor Yan will use another divine fire to take it away."
The Night Demon was clearly no longer able to deal effective damage. Faced with the Flame Emperor's exaggerated holy fire, Xiaosong decisively abandoned the plan to let the Night Demon continue attacking.
Instead, it was allowed to use the auxiliary magic space.
The Night Demon struggled to its feet, and a square barrier rapidly spread outwards from its center.
The magic space was successfully released, and its effect is different from the one that determines the right to act in the game.
In reality, the effect of Trick Room is that Pokémon that are normally slower will be faster in Trick Room.
Therefore, some Pokémon with extremely low speed can become incredibly fast in Trick Room.
"Good job, Night Demon, dodge! Shadow Fist!"
Now, thanks to the effect of the magic space, the Night Demon, which was originally incredibly slow, has suddenly increased in speed.
It dodged the sacred fire of Emperor Yan in an instant, and quickly formed fist-shaped shadows from its two huge palms, which struck Emperor Yan.
"It seems like Ms. Komatsu has the upper hand."
At this moment, a little girl watching from the sidelines happily said that the current situation does indeed look a bit unfavorable to Ash.
But Xia, who had more experience in battles, shook her head.
"Komatsu probably had Night Demon use Shadow Fist just to wear down the Flame Emperor's stamina as much as possible before Night Demon left the arena."
"Emperor Yan's divine fire had already weakened Night Demon to the point of near collapse. Even though Ash's attacks can't reach it now under the Trick Room, but—"
"And there's the burning status ailment that was triggered earlier," Xiao Gang added.
The young students present suddenly realized what was happening and quickly looked back at the battlefield.
Sure enough, sparks suddenly burst from the Night Demon's body, and it screamed as it fell to the ground from the air, losing its ability to fight.
"Thank you for your hard work, Night Demon. You did a great job on the mission." Xiaosong recalled the Night Demon and thanked it gently.
"Ash, I consider myself to have some skill, but I'm not so arrogant as to think I can actually defeat two legendary Pokémon under the gym rules."
"So my goal today is to defeat one of them and successfully battle both legendary Pokémon."
"All of today's plans serve this goal."
At this moment, Xiaosong suddenly spoke very humbly and frankly about his thoughts to Xiaozhi.
But the warm smile on his face didn't seem like he had such low aspirations.
"Bring it on, Komatsu, but I have my pride too, and I won't let you defeat any of them."
Xiao Zhi would never back down during the trash-talking segment.
"Really? Then I'm relieved. This is the next one we'll send out!"
In Trick Room, Pokémon with sufficiently low Speed can make the most of this mechanism.
Dusknoir is already slow enough, but there are still Pokémon that are even slower.
That was the previous form of the Night Demon—the Wandering Night Demon.
The third Pokémon that Komatsu sent out was Dusty Ranger.
This is a Pokémon whose entire body is wrapped in gray bandages.
It has a pair of large, light gray hands, just like those of the Night Demon, and a very large single eye on its face with a red pupil.
It looks quite oppressive, even scarier than the previous Night Demon.
