Perhaps the person controlling this Scizor had never imagined they would be exposed so quickly.
They had probably never expected anyone to block Scizor's Hyper Beam so easily, either.
Despite some surprise, Scizor still attacked. This time, however, its target was no longer the Eevee it had first set its sights on, but the extremely ominous-looking Gengar before it!
The Scizor known as Red Lightning closed in swiftly, swinging its two enormous pincers at Gengar as it unleashed Close Combat.
Its pincers shot toward Gengar like bullets, striking dozens of times in the blink of an eye!
Faced with this assault, Gengar remained perfectly composed. Wearing an arrogant grin and letting out a strange, cackling laugh, it easily evaded the attacks by vanishing and turning invisible.
Even when Scizor abruptly changed its rhythm, slipping a Metal Claw into its Bullet Punch barrage to alter the trajectory of its attacks, Gengar still countered it in a thoroughly "leisurely" fashion.
Clearly, this Red Lightning did have some real skill. Otherwise, it would never have defeated so many Pokémon Trainers and caused such an uproar.
But it simply could do nothing against Gengar!
No matter how formidable you were, unless you were one of those exceptionally powerful Legendary Pokémon, unless you had broken through your body's limits, and unless you were ganging up on it, you would have to bow down before Xia You's two-thousand-year-old Gengar, whether you were a dragon or a bug!
Of course, Gengar's strength did not lie in overwhelmingly powerful moves as people might imagine. Granted, its moves were indeed impressively powerful, but its greatest strength was its endlessly varied methods of attack, which were simply impossible to guard against!
Thus, anyone who treated Gengar as an ordinary Pokémon in battle would suffer dearly!
And clearly, this Red Lightning
