Seeing that Xia You was ready, Fantina was the first to take out a Poké Ball.
She knew little about Xia You, neither how strong this man really was nor what kind of battling style he had, so she simply sent out her usual standard lineup for Gym battles.
But a standard lineup did not mean a weak one!
Especially not for a Pokémon Trainer of Fantina's caliber.
With a flash of blue light, a Gengar emerged from the Poké Ball under Xia You's gaze and appeared on the Battle Field.
Gengar, huh...
To be honest, in all his previous battles, Xia You had usually been the one using Gengar against others. He had rarely encountered anyone using a Gengar against him.
Looking at Gengar's extremely familiar appearance in particular, even though this was not his own, he still had the disorienting feeling of "battling himself."
There was no helping it. It was simply too familiar!
At that moment, seeing another of his kind, Xia You's Gengar also poked his head out of the shadows.
He grinned, seemingly wanting to volunteer to trade a few blows with his fellow Gengar. But before he could speak, Xia You had already guessed what he was thinking and pressed down on his head, pushing him back in.
"Gym battles are mainly for training our new companions. There's no need for you to step in for a battle at this level, so just behave yourself and watch!"
Hearing Xia You say that, Gengar muttered something under his breath, seemingly a little disappointed, but Xia You still firmly stuffed him back into the shadows.
Since she was some distance away, Fantina did not hear Gengar speak. As a fellow Ghost-type Pokémon Trainer, however, she seemed to find the way Xia You interacted with the Gengar
