Bang!
Armaldo's claws collided with Mega Gengar's [Shadow Ball].
After blocking Armaldo's attack, Mega Gengar let out a sinister chuckle.
"Now, Hypnosis!"
Ash shouted, while Steven Stone looked somewhat helpless.
"Why do you keep learning this stuff from Lu Ze?"
But complaints aside, he could only watch as his Armaldo was struck by Mega Gengar's [Hypnosis].
It fell into the [Sleep] state.
Fortunately, Mega Gengar's move pool did not contain any moves that countered Armaldo.
Armaldo should be able to hold out until it woke up while in the [Sleep] state, right?
Under Steven Stone's helpless gaze, Gengar launched a fierce attack on Armaldo.
[Hex]!
This was Mega Gengar's strongest move.
It did not counter Armaldo, but Armaldo did not resist it either.
After two [Hex] attacks, Armaldo woke up.
"Seriously, is this Armaldo really that tough?"
Lu Ze was also somewhat surprised as he watched the awakened Armaldo in the arena.
Even if it was not super effective, it was still a Ghost-type STAB move, with such high power and Mega Gengar's formidable Special Attack.
And that still did not take down Armaldo?
Was this Armaldo even reasonable?
Bang!
Armaldo woke up so suddenly that before Mega Gengar could react, it could only watch as Armaldo slapped it.
[Shadow Claw]!
Then its tail swept out!
[Throat Chop]!
The two super-effective attacks took a heavy toll on Mega Gengar's stamina.
Fortunately, Mega Gengar managed to steady itself at the last moment.
The [Rain] in the sky faded, and Gengar immediately used [Shadow Ball], striking the severely slowed Armaldo and taking away its last bit of stamina.
"Armaldo has lost the ability to battle. Please replace your Pokémon."
"What a pity."
Steven Stone took out a Poké Ball and recalled his defeated Armaldo, then sent out his fourth Pokémon.
"Go, Excadrill!"
