Chapter 109 The Afterglow of the Setting Sun
Chapter 109 The Afterglow of the Setting Sun
In the dazzling light of Mega Evolution, Venusaur's form became even larger and more imposing.
The flowers on its back shone brightly, their enormous petals resembling sharp blades, and the surrounding air glowed with a green light because of them.
That was a surge of powerful grass-type energy.
As Ye Bo issued his instructions.
Venusaur roared, and its energy surged forth like a burst dam.
Countless leaves spun out of its flower, each leaf like a green flying knife, its edges gleaming with a cold light.
These leaves came together and formed a huge storm that swept towards Gengar.
Wherever the storm of flying leaves passed, the grass on the ground was uprooted, and even the space itself seemed to be torn apart by this fierce attack, emitting bursts of howling sounds.
Gengar was equally formidable, its purplish-black body appearing even more mysterious and powerful after Mega Evolution.
Under Ghost Sea's command, Mega Gengar opened its mouth wide and sprayed out bursts of acid bombs that emitted a pungent odor.
These acid bombs, with their eerie purple hue, streaked through the air in arcs, like deadly shooting stars.
Each acid bomb contains immense energy, constantly corroding the surrounding air during flight and emitting a hissing sound.
The acid bomb and the leaf storm collided in mid-air, instantly unleashing a deafening roar.
The green leaves collided and intertwined with the purple acid, splashing out countless sparks of energy.
The acid corroded the leaves, turning them into wisps of blue smoke, while the leaves also cut through the acid, causing it to splatter everywhere.
The powerful impact spread outwards, creating concentric energy ripples that whipped up the surrounding grass like surging waves.
The wind howled, carrying smoke and energy fragments from the battlefield into the sky, making the entire sky murky.
Gui Hai's face was cold and stern, his black trench coat fluttering in the gale. His gaze, like cold stars, was fixed on Ye Bo and Bulbasaur opposite him, and he shouted in a deep and powerful voice:
"Gengar, use Shadow Ball, then use Shadow Sneak."
His voice, shrouded by a strange wind and a mask, seemed to emanate from the deepest hell, carrying an undeniable majesty that echoed across the battlefield.
Gengar's purplish-red body instantly surged with dense dark power, and its blood-red eyes shone brightly, like two burning ghost flames.
It opened its mouth wide, and a black shadow sphere quickly condensed inside, surrounded by wisps of black smoke that seemed to come from the abyss, like a small black hole, exuding a chilling aura.
With a sudden blast of its power, the Shadow Ball hurtled towards Venusaur like a cannonball, leaving a black trail in the air and accompanied by a series of sharp whistling sounds, as if the Grim Reaper was playing his death knell.
Immediately afterwards, Gengar's figure began to become ethereal, as if it had merged into the surrounding shadows and quietly disappeared.
It transformed into an invisible shadow, stealthily approaching Venusaur with lightning speed, like the deadliest assassin in the darkness.
Wherever they went, the air seemed to be tinged with a sinister chill, with only a faint, ethereal atmosphere lingering in the air, like a harbinger of death.
Although Ye Bo was old, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's at this moment, and his aged face was solemn and focused.
He looked in the direction where Gengar had disappeared and shouted, "Venusaur, protect me, then counter with Sludge Bomb!"
His hoarse yet powerful voice, like an ancient war drum, clearly reached Venusaur's ears, stirring up an invisible ripple on the battlefield.
Venusaur responded quickly, its massive, tank-like body trembling slightly, and a dense green light instantly emanated from its surroundings.
The light spread rapidly like a tide, forming a transparent barrier.
As soon as the shield appeared, the shadow orb crashed down like a mountain, striking the green shield with a dull, thunderous impact.
The impact caused the shield to ripple violently, but it stubbornly resisted the dark power of the Shadow Orb.
The dark shadow power spread wildly across the shield's surface, attempting to break through the defenses, but it was all neutralized by the shield's energy, as if it had encountered an insurmountable chasm.
After successfully withstanding the Shadow Ball's attack, Venusaur launched a counterattack without hesitation.
Its huge and gorgeous flowers trembled slightly, as if a sleeping beast was awakening.
Then, bursts of dark brown mud bombs shot out from the flower's stamen. These bombs emitted a pungent odor, and each one was extremely sticky and corrosive, like the breath of a demon from the depths of a swamp.
The sludge bomb tumbled and expanded during its flight, heading towards the path that Gengar's Shadow Step would inevitably take.
Wherever it passed, the grass on the ground was instantly corroded, turning yellow and black, and a nauseating stench filled the air, as if the odor of death and decay was spreading rampantly.
As Venusaur unleashed its Sludge Bomb, its once gentle gaze turned incredibly sharp, like two razor-sharp swords.
Its massive body crouched slightly, every muscle tensed, ready to deal with Gengar's Shadow Step attack.
It knew that this battle was about its and Ye Bo's honor and beliefs. Every move carried their dreams and allowed no room for carelessness. It had to go all out.
Just as the sludge bombs were wreaking havoc on the battlefield, Guihai's eyes narrowed, and he issued another order:
"Gengar, appear, use psychic powers to change the trajectory of the bomb, then use a spell."
Gengar's illusory figure instantly appeared behind Venusaur, its blood-red eyes flashing with an eerie light, and a powerful spiritual force radiating outwards from it.
Under the influence of psychic power, the sludge bombs flying towards it gradually changed their flight direction. Some collided with each other, bursting into clouds of brown smoke, while others flew towards Venusaur itself.
Immediately afterwards, a black halo appeared around Gengar, and it seemed as if countless wronged souls were weeping in the surrounding air.
It cast a spell on Venusaur, and a surge of dark energy swept towards Venusaur.
Wherever this energy reached, flowers and plants withered instantly, and black cracks appeared on the ground, as if even the earth itself was suffering.
Ye Bo frowned, but showed no panic. He shouted, "Venusaur, use Photosynthesis to recover your stamina and withstand this attack!"
Venusaur quickly sprang into action, the flower on its back radiating an even brighter light, seemingly drawing the surrounding sunlight in. Its previously tired body gradually regained its vitality through photosynthesis.
Dark magic swirled around it, causing a look of pain to appear in Venusaur's eyes.
However, they still managed to withstand this attack.
The trainer gave the order again, and Venusaur and Gengar, the two champion Pokémon, clashed once more.
Although Ye Bo was old, his eyes were burning with a fierce fighting spirit.
His eyes were fixed on the battlefield, and the wrinkles on his face trembled slightly with excitement; each wrinkle was like a battle mark left by the years.
The elderly body leaned slightly forward, as if to transfer its power to Venusaur.
His voice, hoarse yet powerful, conveyed a passion and dedication to the fight that transcended age.
Gui Hai remained calm, his eyes as cold as ice, his deep pupils reflecting the intense battle situation on the battlefield.
He stood there, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his black trench coat fluttering in the wind.
Each instruction was concise and powerful, delivered in a calm and steady voice, without the slightest sign of panic.
Like a commander in the shadows, controlling Gengar's actions, it engages in a thrilling battle with Yebo and Venusaur.
However, this battle held a unique kind of sorrow for Venusaur and Yebo.
Venusaur continued the battle.
With each attack it unleashed, the light around its body seemed to dim a little, and its massive form trembled slightly, showing that its aging body was bearing a tremendous burden.
Ye Bo could also sense the strain on Venusaur's body. A pang of reluctance flashed through his heart, but the fighting spirit in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
This may be their last battle; they will use this last bit of strength to create the most dazzling sparks.
The situation on the battlefield is becoming increasingly tense, and every attack and clash could determine the course of the battle.
Both Gui Hai and Ye Bo are giving their all for the beliefs in their hearts.
Time passed slowly, and the sun moved from the east to the west, casting its last rays upon the earth...
