Cain glanced sideways at the Tyranitar beside him and the Blaziken eager to enter battle, and smiled faintly once more. With such reliable companions, was it not possible to stand up to any adversary?
The recent efforts of Tyranitar, Blaziken, and the other Pokémon had not gone unnoticed by Cain.
Although the rapid progress of Salance and his group had filled Tyranitar and the others with satisfaction, it had also brought them pressure... and motivation.
Because of this, during this ti, the growth and effort of Tyranitar and his companions had been visible at a glance.
Of course, it was not only them. All of Cain's Pokémon had received the rewards they deserved for their efforts. Pokémon such as Honchkrow, Weavile, and Drapion had also improved noticeably, remaining just one step away from breaking through to the Champion level.
Cain felt that today might be the perfect mont for them to achieve that breakthrough.
One Poké Ball after another was thrown, and one by one, familiar Pokémon appeared.
Upon seeing the Pokémon Cain had summoned, Bartram beca increasingly astonished, because... the types of Pokémon Cain had sent out were far too similar to his own!
Not only Gengar and Weavile, but also Drapion and Honchkrow seed as if they had co from the sa mold.
Of course, there were still certain differences. For example, Cain's Gengar looked much more energetic, to the point of not truly seeming like a Ghost-type Pokémon. As for Drapion and Honchkrow, both were larger than their opponent's, especially Drapion, whose size exceeded more than double.
Honchkrow only seed slightly larger, and if one did not compare carefully, the difference in size was difficult to notice at a glance.
Weavile, on the other hand, looked almost the sa as the opponent's, except that the red feathers on the head and tail of Cain's Weavile were visibly more vivid.
This comparison made it clear, without the need for words, the difference in Pokémon training.
The opponent was astonished by the Pokémon Cain had summoned, but Cain and his Pokémon were eager to fight. There was nothing that ignited the spirit more than battling Pokémon of the sa type... and erging victorious.
However, Bartram was only surprised for a mont, because he had noticed that among the Pokémon similar to his own, aside from Gengar — which seed a bit stronger than his — none had yet surpassed the Champion level.
Although Quasi-Champion-level Pokémon were not weak, when facing Champion-level Pokémon, even a child would know who held the advantage.
And even that Gengar, which seed the strongest, did not truly worry him; after all... he possessed the special ability of the Sacred Church.
It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but Irene and Will had not inford the rest of the Sacred Church that Cain had mastered an even more advanced form of special evolution.
Perhaps that was the real reason why the Sacred Church remained such a disorganized group. Each person harbored their own calculations; aside from a few, most always prioritized their own interests. After all, being absorbed into the Sacred Church was itself due to their own greed, and that was the side effect the organization had to bear in using them.
In normal tis, that side effect remained well hidden, and almost no one paid attention to it.
But coincidentally, the one now standing before them was soone who also knew those underground dark forces well, soone who perfectly understood the ntality of those who place themselves above everything else.
Cain! He himself had once assud that role in the past!
"Gengar, let them see the infusion of divine power of our Sacred Church!" Bartram shouted, pulling a special stone from his pocket and pressing it directly onto Gengar's head.
In an instant, a special energy enveloped Gengar, completing its pseudo-ga Evolution and transforming it into ga Gengar.
Although the "divine stone" used by the opponent was clearly of higher quality than those Cain had seen before, there was still a considerable gap compared to true ga Evolution, the most obvious being the difference in the increase of power.
And there was an even more important point: each infusion of divine power from the Sacred Church actually caused damage to the Pokémon's body. The more tis it was used, not only did it beco difficult to advance further in strength, but even maintaining the current level beca challenging.
Seeing the opponent's ga Gengar panting, as if a single pseudo-ga Evolution had caused it enormous suffering, the smile on Cain's face grew even more pronounced.
Turning toward his own Gengar, he said, "Against an imitation like that, there shouldn't be too much pressure for you. Defeat a Gengar in a ga Evolution state and finally complete the breakthrough you've been waiting for for so long. I think... there's no better celebration for you than this, right?"
"Kekeke!" Gengar returned a mischievous grin. Although it said nothing, the intense fighting intent shining in its eyes said everything.
That's right: Cain had no intention of having Gengar gaevolve!
ga Evolution undoubtedly granted a great boost in power, but to defeat a "fake ga Evolution" that had not even surpassed the first threshold of the Champion level, there was simply no need to use true ga Evolution.
Although Gengar was eager to show the opponent what a genuine ga Evolution was, why use a hamr to kill a fly?
That said, Gengar not using ga Evolution did not an that Cain would not employ it with other Pokémon. After all, Weavile and the others were at a disadvantage in terms of level. Cain was not foolish enough to send a Quasi-Champion-level Pokémon to fight directly against a Champion-level one.
Isn't cooperation among companions only natural? Otherwise, why allow a trainer to capture so many Pokémon?
The strength of one's companions is also part of one's own strength!
"Tyranitar, Blaziken! It's ti to shine! ga Evolve!" The excitent in Cain's heart continued to rise, and along with it, his psychic power overflowed.
The true energy of ga Evolution enveloped Tyranitar and Blaziken. In the blink of an eye...
ga Tyranitar and ga Blaziken entered the scene!
When Bartram saw that Cain's Tyranitar and Blaziken had also undergone a special evolution, his eyes widened and he was left without issuing any attack orders.
Anyone would be stunned to see that their hidden trump card was also in the opponent's hands, and that it even seed more powerful.
Although Cain could not see the opponent's expression, from the movents of his Pokémon and the stiffness of his psychic power, he could clearly sense the magnitude of his shock.
Realizing this, Cain further confird his suspicion: Will and Irene had not revealed that he had mastered ga Evolution. Truly, what "good companions"!
Now that the opponent knew, it was already too late. Even if he tried to call for reinforcents at that mont, they would not arrive in ti.
"Tyranitar, Crimson Sand Inferno! Seal off the entire space!"
