The garden was very large. After passing through the flower bushes, Gui Ling saw a battle arena, surrounded by flowers like a wall, outlining a unique beauty.
“Let’s do it here. Can we have a Double Battle?”
“Double Battle?”
“Two Pokémon per person, one round to decide the winner.”
“Oh, okay.”
Lin Jingnan slowly walked onto the battle arena, then released her other Pokémon, Milotic.
Looking at the expressionless Lin Jingnan in front of him, Gui Ling had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
“She has a maturity that shouldn’t appear at this age.”
Gui Ling thought as he took out two Poké Balls, thinking of going easy and sending out Honedge and Beedrill, but Lin Jingnan seemed to have seen through Gui Ling’s thoughts and spoke to stop him.
“I hope you don’t go easy. Please send out your Gengar and Banette. They are not Legendary Pokémon, and they are very strong.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, please give me face.”
“Alright, go!”
“Then, let the battle begin! Milotic, Hydro Pump! Sylveon, Swift!”
“Night Shade!”
Gengar’s Night Shade directly blocked Milotic’s Hydro Pump and Sylveon’s Swift. In the interval between attacks, Banette also used Night Shade, striking Milotic and Sylveon.
This attack caused significant damage; both Milotic and Sylveon sustained considerable injuries.
“Hydro Pump? This Milotic is high-leveled. Prioritize attacking Milotic. Gengar, keep Sylveon occupied. Banette, Will-O-Wisp!”
Banette was engulfed in blue Will-O-Wisp and then charged towards Milotic like a cannonball. Sylveon originally intended to attack but was stopped by Gengar’s Shadow Sneak.
“Milotic, Aqua Tail.”
“Fire Punch!”
Boom!
The steam generated by the collision of water and fire covered the entire garden in a misty haze, but Banette’s fire grew stronger with water. Although Milotic blocked the fire attack, she was sent flying by the powerful force.
“Look, Dad! It’s Ralts! Am I amazing?”
“Ralts?! That’s great! As expected of our little Jing Jing.”
“Then, Dad… am I qualified to participate in the family inheritance?”
“Uh, well…”
A middle-aged man cleared his throat, looking at Jing Jing with some apology.
“Well… the family just found your older sister recently. You know we originally intended to pass the family inheritance to your older sister to make amends.”
“Why?! Didn’t you say that strength was enough? I’ve trained Ralts so well! I will definitely be stronger than my older sister!”
“Your older sister has Milotic and Sylveon. Do you have confidence you can defeat her?”
“I can work hard!”
“Sigh… This can be considered a competition, so you two work hard…”
Boom!!!
“What was that sound?”
“It sounds like it’s from the garden. My older sister should be there, right?”
“Oh no! What happened to Jingnan?!”
The middle-aged man immediately got up and ran towards the back garden, also calling many henchmen, leaving Jing Jing alone in the hall.
“Darn it! I must win!”
At this moment, in the garden’s battle arena, Milotic and Sylveon were already exhausted. Gui Ling hadn’t even used Mega Evolution, yet he was almost guaranteed victory in just a few rounds.
“The cooperation between your two Pokémon isn’t very good. Their formation is easily broken, making them vulnerable to being defeated one by one.”
“Yes, thank you for your guidance, but I haven’t lost yet.”
Just as Gui Ling was about to end the match, a group of people in black suits ran over. The big bald man at the front even summoned a Hydreigon.
“What did you do to our young lady?! Invader, prepare to die!”
As soon as the bald man finished speaking, he commanded Hydreigon to unleash Hyper Beam, but just as Hydreigon was about to release the move, it was sliced by a flash of green light.
“Sceptile!”
“Sceptile? Or Mega Sceptile?!”
The henchmen standing at the back personally witnessed a storage device on Gui Ling’s belt light up, and then this Mega Sceptile directly rushed out.
It was a Mega Evolution without a Key Stone; it burst directly from the Poké Ball.
A hint of surprise finally appeared on Lin Jingnan’s face, but she quickly reacted and hurriedly stopped them.
“I am having a Pokémon battle with this gentleman. Do not disturb us.”
“Young Lady! There were no guests visiting today; he is an invader!”
“Your second young lady brought me here. I helped her catch a Pokémon, and she invited me to eat here.”
Gui Ling explained, but his mind was still on the battle; he had never considered interrupting a match for anything else.
“Alright, one last hit! Shadow Sneak!”
“Disarming Voice.”
Gengar and Banette jointly unleashed a massive Shadow Sneak, just as it was about to smash down. Milotic and Sylveon simultaneously used Disarming Voice, striking the two.
Interfered by the sound waves, Gengar and Banette immediately stopped their actions, their expressions becoming increasingly strange.
“Infatuation!”
Seeing this, Gui Ling was dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but recall how those two guys, Snivy and Phantump, were defeated when he first met them…
“It’s over! They’re done…”
As the hearts entered Banette and Gengar’s bodies, the two instantly entered a confused state, with hearts in their eyes.
Lin Jingnan wouldn’t give up this rare opportunity and immediately had Milotic and Sylveon attack in turns.
Finally, under continuous attacks, Banette and Gengar lost their ability to battle.
“You two are truly the ‘White-Giving Two Ghosts.’ Don’t say you’re my Pokémon when you go out from now on!”
“Gengar, gui~”
“Ban… Banette~”
Seeing the idiotic expressions of the two ghosts, Gui Ling only felt a headache and used Poké Balls to recall them.
“So many Superiors in the Kalos League, and no one discovered these two guys’ weakness. You’re truly amazing!”
“Just luck.”
Gui Ling felt somewhat unable to accept this result. Although he was smiling, if one looked closely, they could see veins bulging on Gui Ling’s forehead.
“You two aren’t getting dinner tonight!”
Sensing Gui Ling’s inner thoughts, Banette and Gengar instantly woke up from their confused state, and their Poké Balls couldn’t help but start to twitch.
“Sigh… Alright, but you two need to think carefully about how to avoid the effects of infatuation.”
Sceptile, standing nearby, slapped his own forehead. He still remembered a previous battle with Banette, where he was almost burnt to a crisp by a single Will-O-Wisp, but today, Banette had certainly refreshed his understanding of him.
“Is that… Mr. Ghost Spirit?”
The master of the house rushed over, and upon seeing Gui Ling, he immediately recognized his identity.
He remembered his daughter previously wanting to visit the Kalos League, but at the time, due to a strange illness contracted in the slums, she could only rest in bed. The master even thought of using money to invite the Champion of the Kalos League Conference to visit their home.
However, during that incident, Gui Ling told everyone that he lived in the forest and temporarily didn’t want to enter the city, so the master had to give up.
“I didn’t expect the actual person to visit this time! Please, come in!”
