At this moment, on the side of the Indian Association, Aegislash, upon seeing the sword, although unaware of its significance, felt its DNA stirred!!
It immediately knew this was something valuable, suitable for itself.
"..." The President of the Indian Association twitched the corner of his mouth. You want it?
"Are you sure?"
He looked down.
"Next... my Guardian Spirit will be it."
Below.
After the announcement of the Legends Resources, Fang Yuan naturally sent out the next Guardian Spirit.
"Koje Koje Koje Koje~~~~"
With a flash of red light and a glow, people heard an eerie laugh as if it came from the void.
At that moment, a white Gengar appeared on the field, its expression brimming with excitement; its mouth curled into what seemed like a smile. However, paired with its frightening expression, it looked more like a sinister and terrifying sneer.
Right now, Glutton, using its purple eyes to scan its surroundings, felt contentment that it was finally its turn to enter the fray.
Boom!!!
Having completed its new special training, Gengar unabashedly displayed its might, an oppressive aura of malevolence bursting from Glutton as tangibly as wave motion.
With the aid of the Pluto Dragon's item, Glutton not only enhanced its Shadow Ability but also focused primarily on cultivating its Spatial Ability.
At this time, within its body—a space imperceptible to outsiders—Glutton alone could sense it, a space like a Dark Hole connected to the core of the Spirit World. Although it didn't possess the Pluton's power to traverse time, as Hoopa's disciple, Glutton leveraged its unique traits to link its internal space with that of the Spirit World.
In this state, it no longer needed to store Energy Blocks within its body or use Krypton gold tactics during battle.
It could directly draw spiritual power from the core area of the Spirit World Earth into its body, continuously gaining strength, a most useful "little trick" that it learned and perfected from the Pluton Dragon and Hoopa.
This was also a type of battle ability that harnessed Natural Power, not only boosting the power of some of its Moves but also affording it an almost exaggerated level of stamina.
This was a higher-level technique than that used by the Spirit World Lineage of China, which fought by borrowing power from the Spirit World. Now, even a standard attack from Gengar was equivalent to a Great Move of the Chinese spiritual world lineage.
However, due to the unique ecology of the Spirit World, the core area's power was exceedingly malignant, making Gengar, backed by the land of the Spirit World Earth, appear as if it were a demon lord emerging from the abyss, looking far from friendly.
"Tapu——"
The Karp guardian gods all felt a jolt upon sensing the malevolent power from the core of the Spirit World emanating from Glutton.
Is this… the power of Spatial Connectivity?
And to be so Skilled, reaching into the Spirit World??
Although the Tapu Guardian Deities were adept at using Natural Power, none specialized in communicating with the Spirit World's spiritual power. In this aspect, Glutton was doing better than them, catching the guardians' attention.
To think it managed to harness the power of the Spirit World in this realm... how did it achieve this...?
Just then, Gengar's malign power spread, making the guardians feel the oppression of the Spirit World. As a native Pokémon of the Spirit World Earth, Aegislash felt a chill throughout its body upon sensing Glutton's power, its pupils constricting instantly.
Gengar also glanced unconsciously toward the Indian Association, smelling something tantalizing.
Its purple gaze flickered toward Aegislash, and it unconsciously licked its lips.
Eh… isn't this the fellow from the Pokémon World's Spirit World that I devoured and then spat out??? Could there be a counterpart on Earth?!
"Koje! (You don't taste good!)" Glutton scornfully remarked with its mouth shape.
At the same time, it displayed a reminiscent expression.
Aegislash: (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
The terrifying surge of ghostly power felt like an illusion of being devoured by a gaping abyss, leaving Aegislash breaking out in a cold sweat from fear.
Something's not right, not right, there's something off about this one.
"Challenge the arena, will you…" The President of the Indian Association spoke faintly.
He felt it wasn't possible...
Aegislash took a step back, indicating it wanted to wait and see... just wait and see.
The "King of the Spirit World," once lording over India, was instantly intimidated by a mere glance from Glutton.
At this moment, with the appearance of the terrifying Glutton, many spectators grimaced.
A Shiny Gengar? The one used by Doctor Fang Yuan to pioneer the era of Mega Evolution?
But wasn't that Gengar black? Why... has it now turned white?!!!
Indeed, Gengar turns white after Mega Evolution, but right now, it clearly hasn't undergone the transformation yet!
"But by feeling, it seems like the same one!"
"This Gengar definitely will undergo Mega Evolution too!"
"As one of Doctor Fang Yuan's former aces, its strength can't possibly be weak!"
Trainers and guardian gods felt another chill in their hearts as Glutton's cold yet fiery dreadful spiritual power swept by. Their souls trembled, realizing this Pokémon's strength was no simple matter.
Few Pokémon had the thought to step forward and challenge the fray.
But there was always an exception.
"Keldeo, Keldeo!!!" The US Association President Apollo saw his own ace Guardian Spirit suddenly show a righteous rage, glaring fiercely at the opponent below, causing him to feel startled.
