Pokemon: My Pokemon Has a Tailed Beast Template

Chapter 296: Misty’s Resolve

As Golem's body trembled, the Bide it had been charging also began to falter.

Gengar immediately followed up with another Shadow Punch.

This time, the attack struck one of Golem's weaker points directly.

The hit was effective.

Combined with the earlier mental attack, Golem had already taken considerable damage.

Recovering from the shock, Golem retaliated with Sand Attack.

But Gengar agilely dodged once again.

Flint's expression turned serious.

This couldn't continue.

"Stealth Rock!"

Suddenly, Golem's body blended into the surroundings. Combined with its Hidden Ability, it concealed itself extremely well, preparing for a surprise attack.

Gengar lost sight of its target and cautiously searched the battlefield.

Then—

A fierce gust of wind erupted.

Golem suddenly appeared beside Gengar and slammed it with a Mega Punch.

The attack landed cleanly.

"It worked!" Ash cheered excitedly from the audience.

But his expression quickly stiffened.

Golem's body suddenly froze in place as though restrained by an invisible force.

This was Gengar's Ability — Cursed Body.

Unlike many Pokémon, Gengar didn't possess a Hidden Ability, but its strange Ability could temporarily disable an opponent's move after being hit.

Another Mean Look followed immediately.

At such close range, there was no way to dodge.

Golem suffered another psychic shock.

Learning from before, Flint immediately ordered Golem to retreat. In close combat, it had no chance against Gengar.

The next moment, Flint activated two moves at once.

"Rock Slide!"

"Earthquake!"

The battlefield violently trembled, drastically slowing Gengar's movements.

Sharp rocks burst from the ground and attacked Gengar directly.

Although Gengar barely dodged, another wave of rocks crashed down from above.

This was Rock Throw.

This time, the attack finally struck Gengar.

Because it was a ranged attack, Cursed Body didn't activate.

Seeing that the attack worked, Flint knew he had to press the advantage.

Using the opening created by the shockwaves, Golem immediately charged forward with Double-Edge.

Its massive body curled into a ball and slammed toward Gengar at high speed.

This attack should have connected directly.

However—

A mirror suddenly appeared in front of Gengar.

The next moment, Golem slammed into the mirror and was violently rebounded backward.

This was Reflect Type combined with Payback.

The damage was reflected back almost completely.

Golem crashed heavily onto the ground, covered in injuries.

Flint's expression darkened.

His next move would be his final gamble.

"Explosion!"

Countless rocks gathered around Gengar before violently detonating.

At almost the exact same moment, Gengar used Hypnosis.

The exploding rocks abruptly stopped mid-motion.

Meanwhile, Golem's eyes became unfocused as it collapsed into sleep.

"I lost…"

Flint lowered his head helplessly.

The battle ended with Matsuba's victory.

The score now stood at 2:3.

Kanto had fallen behind once again.

Returning from the field, Flint looked extremely dejected. After Su Mu and the others comforted him, everyone quickly turned their attention toward the next match.

"I won't lose."

Misty spoke with a calm smile.

But everyone knew the pressure on her shoulders was enormous.

In another section of the stadium, a man silently watched the battlefield.

When he saw Misty step onto the field, his expression darkened slightly.

His brows furrowed tightly.

He hadn't expected his younger sister to actually participate.

That stubborn girl…

Still, Lance knew very well that Misty was likely going to lose badly.

Her opponent was Falkner of Violet City.

Falkner was a genius Trainer, and his Noctowl had already reached the Gym Peak level.

As for Misty's Pokémon, according to the information Lance possessed, her strongest Pokémon had only reached the Gym High-Level stage.

There was almost no chance of victory.

Looking at Misty once more, Lance silently thought:

Little sister… I hope you can prove me wrong.

The match officially began.

Misty immediately summoned her Pokémon.

It was a Water-type Pokémon left behind by her parents. Although its talent wasn't particularly high, Misty had still trained it all the way to the Gym High-Level stage through sheer effort.
