"Awesome!"
"He actually defeated two of Bruno's Champion-level Pokémon!"
"Two in a row! I never dared to even think about it before."
"We've gained some face. Even if we lose now, at least we'll have some dignity in front of the Indigo League later."
"They're Elite Four, and we're unknown youngsters. Doing this well is already great."
"This Lapras is really powerful. If the remaining five Pokémon this young man has are all this strong, then there's really hope of defeating Bruno."
---
The audience's discussions and expectations made May smile wryly and shake her head.
Apart from Lapras, what other Pokémon did Riku have?
Was he going to send out Feebas, or his few disabled Pokémon?
If he really did that, it would be better to admit defeat now, at least leaving people with a profound and unpredictable impression.
"It seems your strength isn't as simple as I thought."
On the contrary, Bruno's expression began to gradually become serious. "To recall Lapras so decisively, you should have even stronger Pokémon than Lapras."
"In my opinion, all my Pokémon are equally strong!" Riku replied coldly, then directly threw out a Poké Ball.
"Go, Gengar!"
"It's your time to shine!"
"Tama—"
Gengar landed firmly on the ground and immediately let out a hearty roar.
If any Trainer who had seen this Gengar before was present, they would definitely notice that Gengar was slightly different than before.
Gengar was a Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon. Previously, its whole body was shrouded in wisps of black mist, but now, upon closer inspection, this black mist actually had a hint of green.
Especially around its claws, the green was even more dense.

"This... what kind of Gengar is this?"
As a veteran Elite Four member, Bruno had seen a lot.
But upon closer inspection of this Gengar, he was still startled.
"Your Gengar's level shouldn't be as high as Agatha's Gengar."
"But its potential... is definitely better than Agatha's, much better!"
"You have to know, Agatha once traveled almost all regions of the Pokémon world to screen for Gengar with excellent aptitude, and only then did she finally find a satisfactory Gengar."
"Riku, your luck is too good."
"Whether it's Lapras or Gengar..."
"Bruno, why are you talking so much?" Riku frowned and interrupted directly.
"Could it be that you became an Elite Four member because you're a chatterbox?"
"This is the arena, let's talk with strength!"
"And the fact that you're now talking about luck with me means you've already fallen behind."
Bruno was stunned by Riku's words, seemingly thoughtful.
"That's right, I didn't expect that I wouldn't see as clearly as you young man."
"In that case, let's battle!"
"Strength speaks!"
Bruno suddenly threw out a Poké Ball. "Steelix, come on out!"
---
"Whoa, this... what kind of Pokémon is this?" The audience was shocked.
"It's too big! The size is completely unequal."
"This should be the evolution of Onix. It seems to require special conditions to evolve. It's very rare."
"This is going to be tough. Bruno is also smart. If he had used Steelix from the beginning, Lapras might have been able to deal with it."
"Gengar seems to be at a disadvantage."
"I hope this young man has other powerful Pokémon. Gengar should lose."
---
The audience's worries and pessimism didn't affect Gengar in the arena at all.
It was even a bit eager to move.
In its long life, Gengar had once been bullied by Ground-type Pokémon.
Just because it had the Poison-type attribute.
If it could defeat the Champion-level Steelix today, it would also be a way to vent the anger from back then.
"Riku, be careful!" May knew that Riku was a newbie Trainer, so she quickly shouted loudly to remind him.
"Steelix is a Steel/Ground-type Pokémon. Ground-type is super effective against Poison-type."
"You must not let Gengar be hit by a Ground-type attack, otherwise it might be instantly killed!"
"And your Gengar had better not use Poison-type moves, they won't have any effect!"
May's words startled Riku, then he shook his head somewhat helplessly.
He heard and understood everything.
But doing so was a bit difficult for both Riku and Gengar.
Could he not use Poison-type moves?
To enhance Gengar's Poison-type attribute, all the points Riku had farmed in the past two days were used on Gengar.
The reason Riku was late today was that he was waiting for Gengar to recover.
Yesterday, another batch of berries ripened in the berry forest.
And they just happened to be Poison-type Law Berries. The three silly birds and the little red shrimp all disdained these berries, as if eating them would cause poisoning.
To be honest, the Poison-type Law Berries didn't look good at all. Their skin was blackish-purple, and they emitted wisps of black smoke.
Farfetch'd curiously went over to smell one and vomited for a whole day.
In this situation, who would dare to eat Poison-type Law Berries?
Only Gengar, who had just popped out of its Poké Ball, had glowing eyes.
All twelve Poison-type Law Berries were devoured by it alone.
Perhaps because it had lived longer, Gengar's tolerance was stronger than young Pokémon like Lapras, but even so, twelve Poison-type Law Berries had kept it busy for a whole day and night.
Now, even Riku didn't know how powerful Gengar's poison had become.
And to be safe, Riku had also spent ten thousand points to exchange for a Poison Barb for Gengar.
This Poison Barb was immediately fused into Gengar's claws. If it hadn't been Steelix, but the Fighting-type Pokémon from before, as long as they were scratched, they would definitely be instantly poisoned by Gengar!
