He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4394 The terror of the Dark Hole Nightmare!

Just as the roots formed by the drumbeats had retracted into the ground, Mary's commands followed.

"Hairy Troll, use Soul Impact!"

The barrier in front of the hairy troll dissipated, and it pressed its palm forward.

One after another, streaks of pinkish-purple light flew out of its palm at high speed, striking the Thunder King Kong Ape from different angles.

Just as the Thunder King Kong finished its drumming action, it was too late to dodge, and a series of fairy-attribute energy balls hit it!

Bang Bang Bang!

The Thunder King Kong was blasted backward, looking disheveled.

Xiao Zhi watched from the side, nodding in agreement.

Marnie is now a fully-fledged trainer, with calm command and smooth transitions.

But in terms of fighting style, Hop is more similar to him, focusing on a passionate and energetic style.

"Hold on, Thunder King Kong! Use Sonic Blast!"

Hep clenched his fist and suddenly shouted.

Despite the pain from the soul-shaking impact, the Thunder King Kong raised his drumsticks again.

This time, it did not stimulate the underground tree roots.

The drumsticks slammed into the wooden drum, and the violent sound waves spread directly from the drumhead, forming visible sound waves that rolled forward!

The hairy troll was also hit head-on by the sonic boom, its body sliding backward, and its face turned ugly.

“No backing down, Hop.”

Xiao Zhi nodded, inwardly praising him.

They didn't linger there, letting their other Pokémon continue fighting.

For example, when Hop's woolly horned sheep faced off against Mary's turban thug, the former charged forward with its horns on, while the turban thug simply pulled its molted skin upwards, using its elasticity to deflect the force and bounce the woolly horned sheep back.

Or perhaps it was Corviknight facing off against Vulture, both of which are not very fast birds, constantly attacking each other in the air.

boom! boom! boom!

Vulturena picked up the bone club on her head and kept hitting the steel wings of the Steel Raven, making a series of metallic cracking sounds and sparks flying everywhere.

Hop's muscular Snorlax faced off against Marie's newly evolved Pokémon, Serpents.

"Kirby—!"

Faced with the ugly sneak attack of the Servant General, the good-natured Snorlax reacted quickly, swinging its paw to shatter the red and black Conqueror's Haki slash that had been cleaved in mid-air.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

Hop's Electrike and Marie's Morpeko were chasing each other at high speed around the field. The two Electric-type Pokémon left sparks and lightning in their wake as they ran, creating a spectacular scene.

Morpeko might even suddenly turn evil during the process, unleashing a bright blue lightning hamster wheel that elevates the battle level to another level!

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but comment:

"If these two guys, aside from Raihana, were to face those gym leaders now, it would probably be much easier, right?"

You'll see it at the League Conference; all the gym leaders will be there.

"Then I'll put in even more effort!"

He turned his gaze away and looked at his Pokémon.

With the main event of the World Championship approaching, the system rule that originally matched players once every seven days has now been shortened to once every two or three days.

It's estimated that his next qualifying opponent will soon send him a challenge.

Ash glanced at his Galar team, who were currently engaged in practical battles around the castle.

Of course, their actual opponents changed to two senior figures who came from afar.

They split into two groups, one of which was led by Mr. Mime.

Magearna, Corviknight, Dragapult, and Dracovish worked together to surround Darkrai.

Despite being a Mythical Pokémon on par with Darkrai, Magearna is still a powerful Pokémon.

However, in terms of combat experience, it is far inferior to Darkrai.

"Bari!"

The Mr. Mime attacked first.

It raised its arm, and a gray-green beam of light shot out from its fingertips, suddenly heading straight for Darkrai!

Signal beam!

Actions are based on elemental advantage!

The other Pokémon followed suit. Magearna raised her arms, and a pink orb of light rapidly condensed above her head, descending and being tossed toward the target. Dracovish stood guard nearby, its jaws already wide open, surging water swirling between its teeth.

Just waiting for the opportunity to strike first with a critical hit with Gill Bite—this is a divine skill that can break through the defense of monsters of a higher level!

Corviknight and Draco were circling repeatedly, attempting to launch an attack from the air.

However, Darkrai's response to being surrounded by five Pokémon was unusually simple and brutal.

"Dark—!!"

It raised its demonic claws, and malevolent energy was highly compressed in its palm.

The next second, the black energy ball was slammed heavily onto the ground.

Boom!

Countless tiny black orbs of light spread rapidly in all directions, accompanied by a chilling storm.

It also affected all the Pokémon, interrupting Mr. Mime's moves and nearly flipping them over.

"The wave of evil?"

Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up.

It wasn't a normal ray, but rather like Zoroark's Dark Blast, it detonated on the ground, creating a large-scale energy shockwave.

However, the fastest of them, Dralongaruto, had already entered the alternate dimension ahead of time, avoiding the evil wave's shockwave.

A stealthy attack!

The next instant, it emerged from behind Darkrai again, its demonic claws coalescing and slashing towards Darkrai's back!

However, the experienced Darkrai reacted even faster, anticipating the attack and shifting his body to the side to avoid the demon's claw.

At the same time, a dark purple ball of light condensed in his palm.

Darkrai tossed it with a backhand flick!

call out--!

The moment the dark purple orb hit Dorambaruto, it rapidly expanded into a huge black hole, swallowing the latter whole.

Unique move: Dark Hole!

"Dorlongzzz"

After the black hole dissipated, Dorombalto landed straight on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Even the two little dragons on its head closed their eyes and fell fast asleep.

“Dark!”

Darkrai let out a low laugh, his blue eyes sweeping across the entire area, and two more black-purple orbs of light condensed in his hands.

It doesn't even need to launch an attack.

As long as a target in the vicinity falls asleep, the Nightmare ability will automatically activate, gradually eroding the opponent's stamina.

"Doryu."

Dorombalut, who had just fallen asleep on the ground, soon began to groan softly.

Its body twitched, and its expression turned to pain.

I had a nightmare instantly!

In the dream, the two light and cute little dragons Mesias lying on its head in the cannon hole were no longer there.

But -

On one side is Pikachu, and on the other side is Victini.

Two chubby guys were struggling to squeeze into its cannon hole, almost tearing it apart!

"Doryu!"

In reality, Dorambaruto let out another painful murmur in his sleep.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the several Mr. Mime around them changed drastically, and fear arose spontaneously!

"Dark~!"

Darkley smiled coldly and, without any politeness, threw them one after another like baseballs.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the dark hole is only the size of a fist; once it gets close enough to your body, it will instantly expand to two meters wide, making it even harder to dodge! (End of Chapter)
