In the real world.
Giovanni suddenly opened his eyes, green light blooming within them.
Though it was a close call this time, his mental strength had greatly increased.
If he encountered such a situation again, Giovanni would easily break free from the control of Hypnosis.
Giovanni touched himself and found that sweat had completely drenched him, as if he had just taken a bath.
Boom!
A huge sound came from outside, a flying rock cut through Giovanni's tent, and a cacophony of deafening noise erupted from outside!
Smack!
A dirty, yellow-nailed large hand suddenly slammed onto the torn opening of the tent, pulling hard with a ripping sound, and a demonic face was thus ferociously exposed.
Its bell-like eyes stared intently at Giovanni, letting out a roar and charging in.
In just an instant, the tent moved a few times.
Bang!
The wild man who had just rushed in flew out, his limbs brutally twisted, his cheek sunken as if it had been smashed in with a punch, his teeth flying out, constantly gushing blood.
Finally, he fell heavily to the ground, like a pile of mud.
The numb Pokémon and wild men around, seeing this situation, immediately surrounded the tent.
However, they were very wary and did not directly advance.
Step!
A slender leg stretched out from the tattered tent, followed by a tall body, and a pair of extremely sharp eyes.
Giovanni coldly watched this circle of wild men, as well as the two dismembered Team Rocket members on the ground, casually opening all his Poké Balls, then whispered, "Kill, leave none alive!"
Clap clap clap!
Flashes of white light, five Pokémon instantly appeared!
They immediately charged towards their surroundings, their fierce appearance unlike anything benevolent.
There was also a Haunter, fearfully watching the distant giant Haunter, trembling to the side, not daring to move.
Giovanni merely glanced at it, then his gaze moved upward to the giant Haunter in the distant sky, watching the dark shadow hands extending from various parts of its body.
It was fighting with Pidgeot, Weezing, Yanmega, Arbok, Muk, Fearow, and even a Charizard.
It made sense; for a Gym Leader Level powerhouse, raising a starter Pokémon was not an easy task.
Without exception, all these Pokémon were Gym Leader Level Pokémon.
Especially a Charizard, one of the starter Pokémon, its combat power was incomparable to ordinary Pokémon, no wonder Matt was confident in defeating a Quasi-Elite Four Level Pokémon, he indeed had the strength.
Below the several Pokémon, Matt was protected in the middle by two Chiefs who were likely on duty, fully directing the several Pokémon in battle.
The strength of Beedrill and the others, needless to say, in a moment they had slaughtered all the surrounding Pokémon.
Giovanni slowly walked towards Matt and his group, with several Pokémon guarding him in the middle, easily eliminating anyone who was foolish enough to get in their way.
Only the Haunter followed nervously, not even daring to look up at the giant Haunter in the sky.
When Giovanni arrived, Matt was somewhat surprised to see him, not expecting Giovanni to wake up so quickly.
He knew that the two team members he sent to wake Giovanni had been eliminated, and he had planned to quickly deal with this Haunter of a thousand years and then help Giovanni out of his predicament.
He didn't expect Giovanni to succeed on his own, and even faster than the Chiefs and others.
Giovanni was clearly the youngest.
Matt asked with some doubt, "Didn't sleep?"
Giovanni knew what Matt wanted to ask, so he shook his head, "I woke up, that illusion had some things, it delayed me for some time."
Matt was surprised to hear that, "You really are surprising."
Giovanni just looked up into the sky, watching the roaring Haunter of a thousand years, his eyes flickering. "Is it easy to deal with? If not, use your trump card."
Matt looked up again, "Not yet, it hasn't reached the point of going all out. We need to show weakness first, create an opening, so it has no chance to escape."
"It's best if we can capture this guy, a Ghost-type Pokémon that has lived for a thousand years is still very valuable for research."
Giovanni nodded, "That's right."
In the sky, Charizard and Pidgeot, one spitting fierce flames and the other transforming into a divine bird, continuously attacked the Haunter of a thousand years.
Weezing, Arbok, and Muk continuously spewed Toxic at it!
Fearow and Yanmega stirred up gusts of hurricane!
In short, they beat this Haunter of a thousand years until it couldn't fight back.
But was that truly the case? Just looking at the still trembling Haunter nearby told the story.
Moreover, Giovanni knew that this old ghost could create clones!
"Haun!!"
The Haunter of a thousand years let out a roar, and a powerful Dark Pulse spread out, repelling Pidgeot and the others!
Pieces of its body split apart, heading downwards!
Then, the frantic and numb wild men and Pokémon below all paused in place, then placed their hands on their necks.
Then, poof!
A large amount of blood stained the night, and countless Pokémon collapsed to the ground!
Blood and corpses, and individual souls transformed, surrounded by black shadows, finally forming Haunters, each slightly smaller in size, but still at the Gym Leader Level or Senior Level in strength!
The Haunter of a thousand years roared loudly, "Haun!"
The Haunters below all raised their huge claws, and Shadow Balls condensed, continuously being thrown in all directions, or towards Charizard and Pidgeot in the sky.
Giovanni's side was no exception; he frowned and shouted to Beedrill and the others: "Go!"
Including several Chiefs, they quickly sent their Pokémon to intercept these Shadow Balls.
However, the quantity was still large enough, so what was supposed to explode still exploded!
Boom boom!
A series of explosions continuously rang out in the safe zone, causing many casualties!
The Haunter of a thousand years in the sky let out a crazy laugh.
Then it suddenly used the Sucker Punch move, instantly appearing in front of Pidgeot, which it deemed the biggest threat, its huge claw clenched, enveloped in black-purple Ghost-type energy.
As it fiercely swung its fist, it used the Shadow Punch move!
Boom!
Pidgeot did not dodge and was directly hit by a punch, its body falling to the ground like a cannonball!
Besides that, the Haunter of a thousand years relentlessly continued to fly downwards, looking as if it wanted to finish off Pidgeot right then.
Charizard and the others saw this and were about to go forward to stop it, but the Haunter of a thousand years immediately repeated its trick, using Dark Pulse to force them all back!
Matt below did not want his main Pokémon to get into trouble, so he immediately shouted, "Charizard, Fire Spin! Then use Dual Wingbeat!"
Upon hearing this, Charizard immediately responded to Matt's command, opening its massive maw, and a scorching Fire Spin erupted from its mouth, soaring skyward, attempting to block the Haunter of a thousand years's assault.
