[Dark Pulse] and [Flash Cannon] collided in midair and exploded.
Alain looked at Gengar's back in surprise as well.
This Gengar's Special Attack really was impressive!
Although his Metagross was not particularly skilled at using special attack moves.
As a mixed attacker, though, Metagross's special attacking ability was not lacking at all.
Combined with the difference in their levels, [Flash Cannon] should have overpowered [Dark Pulse] and struck Gengar.
Yet Gengar had truly managed to block it.
"[Meteor Mash]!"
Still, the gap in their levels remained!
"Bang!"
Metagross shot forward at incredible speed. After passing through the black smoke, it smashed Gengar with a punch.
Gengar crashed heavily from the sky and slammed into the ground.

After [Flash Cannon] vanished, the sight Alain had expected—Gengar losing its ability to battle—did not appear.

If not for that, even if Gengar had successfully broken through, it definitely would not have had much stamina left.
But now...
It still had
