Capture! Snaman!

The metal chains fell away, and another surge of energy filled with negative emotions spilled out from behind the circular stone monument.

As expected, Gengar's senses were the sharpest.

The seal here had already loosened, which was why Jing He had tried having Garchomp forcibly shatter it.

He hadn't expected that while the seal was loose, it had not loosened enough. Without Mega Evolution or any boosts, even Garchomp's full-force strike hadn't budged the seal.

Gengar, the Pokémon no door could stop!

"Graaah!!"

Garchomp let out a fierce growl at Jing He.

Again?

It wasn't stupid!

Jing He curled
