Gengar's first opponent was a black-and-white-striped Zebstrika.
"I was going to save this for that Milotic of yours, but it makes no difference..." Zhang Luoyi gave the order. "Use Thunder Wave, then Pursuit!"
"Gengar, use Protect, then Reflect Type!"
Protect blocked Thunder Wave, while Gengar used Reflect Type to change its own typing to Electric, effectively reducing the damage from the Dark-type move Pursuit.
Zebstrika slammed hard into Gengar, but did little damage. Instead, Gengar drove it back with Dazzling Gleam.
"Use Spite, then Curse!" Gengar's eyes glowed red as it inflicted negative debuffs on Zebstrika.
"Rain Dance!"
A ball of water shot into the sky. Dark clouds instantly covered the battlefield, and a light rain began to patter down.
Cheng Tian suddenly felt the urge to complain. Weren't weather and Bolt Strike TMs supposed to be regulated? Why did everyone he ran into know weather moves?
"Keep using Thunder to cover yourself while you use Wild Charge!"
"Hehe, Gengar, the show's about to begin." As soon as Cheng Tian said that, some of the resentment surrounding Gengar instantly dissipated. "Use Nasty Plot!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
A barrage of Thunder with no cooldown instantly struck Gengar. It wore an expression of utter agony, screaming as the bolts knocked it back and forth like a ball. The people on Magic University's side couldn't help looking exasperated. He Bi smiled at Cheng Tian. "That rascal's playing his little tricks again."
Seeing Gengar take the hits, Zhang Luoyi grew incredibly excited. With what little bulk Gengar had, this would definitely take it out. "Speed up! Charge over!"
Zebstrika neighed, electricity blazing across its body as it charged toward Gengar at incredible speed. Yet something unexpected happened.
The instant Zebstrika hit Gengar, all the electricity from its Wild Charge was absorbed by Gengar.
