But I've strayed too far.
Anyway, the current situation is wrong! It's extremely wrong, twelve parts wrong!
It hurriedly slammed on the brakes, turning to fly away, but by then it was too late.
Matt, at some point, had a Poké Ball in his hand, and as the Poké Ball slowly opened, an aura belonging to an Elite Four Level Pokémon instantly burst forth.
A white light flashed! It flew above the Haunter.
Immediately following, a ferocious claw with white fur and blue nails suddenly appeared, grabbing the giant Haunter with incredible strength!
The immense power of an Elite Four Level Pokémon instantly erupted, directly pulling the Haunter, who was preparing to flee, down from the sky.
The Haunter's eyes were filled with deep fear, wailing and letting out unwilling roars.
At this moment, Giovanni also clearly saw what kind of Pokémon had arrived, and there was some surprise in his eyes.
Because this Pokémon was entirely white, with something resembling a devil's wing on its head and tail, a blue gem on its forehead, a blue face, but blood-red eyes.
Although it had a 'kill-the-horse' style haircut, it didn't affect its appearance in the slightest.
This was an Absol, also known by a very cool title, the Disaster Beast.
It wasn't a Legendary, but it had the presence of one.
Legend has it that wherever an Absol appears, natural disasters and misfortunes will follow, hence the title Disaster Beast.
But Giovanni knew that this was because Absol possessed the ability to predict disasters; its appearance was actually to warn humans and Pokémon, just like a crow.
However, this was an ordinary Absol.
The one in front of him should be Madame Boss's Pokémon, an Elite Four Level Absol. This wasn't just a natural disaster; it *was* the disaster itself.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't fly yet, fearing the Haunter would sense its aura and escape, an Elite Four Level Absol could easily defeat the Haunter.
Giovanni couldn't help but say, "So it's the legendary Disaster Beast, Absol."
Matt looked at Giovanni in surprise, not expecting Giovanni to actually know about Absol. "Absol doesn't show itself often, and there's very little basic information about it. You actually know."
Giovanni didn't say much, "I once heard legends about it."
As he spoke, Giovanni glanced at the Haunter beside him, which was still trembling even though Absol had suppressed the Haunter of a thousand years, and he didn't put it away.
Instead, he looked at the wailing Haunter of a thousand years, his eyes flickering.
Matt didn't press the matter; after all, it was just knowing about Absol, nothing important. He then turned his gaze to the Haunter suppressed by Absol.
No matter if you've lived for a thousand years, weren't you still captured?
Matt nodded to Absol, "Knock it out, Absol."
Absol roared, its claws pressing down with increasing force, and the Dark-type energy on them continuously condensed!
The Haunter's massive body deformed under the pressure, letting out pained wails!
It was terrified; this situation was the first it had encountered in a thousand years.
If it wasn't careful, it might perish here or become a slave to these lowly ants, which the Haunter absolutely refused to do.
It gave Matt a venomous look, then acted decisively, directly tearing off the part of its body that Absol was holding down, even though the pain of its soul and body tearing apart was unbearable.
Matt immediately shouted, "Not good, it's escaping!"
Giovanni, however, focused his gaze on the piece of body the Haunter left behind, gently lifting his foot.
At Matt's cry, Absol immediately moved to chase after the Haunter. The fact that this Haunter had escaped from its grasp was something it absolutely could not tolerate.
Its speed was extremely fast; with a push of its hind legs, it rushed towards the Haunter!
One Shadow Claw, followed by a Feint Attack, directly shattered the Haunter of a thousand years in front of it into pieces, turning into black smoke and countless wailing, broken souls.
One Assurance, followed by a Feint Attack, directly shattered the Haunter of a thousand years in front of it into pieces, turning into black smoke and countless wailing, broken souls.
Although Absol's power, when used in anger, could be uncontrollable, instantly destroying the Haunter of a thousand years was somewhat unusual.
Absol understood this, and Matt also paused when he saw it. "Something's not right."
As Madame Boss's Pokémon, Absol's intelligence was undeniable. It instantly guessed that it seemed to have been tricked.
It turned its head to look at the part of the Haunter's body left on the ground.
This part of the body began to expand and twist at an extremely fast speed, then directly transformed into the appearance of the Haunter of a thousand years.
It sacrificed most of its energy, using Double Team and Hypnosis along with a portion of its body, at great cost, to deceive Absol.
Then it was time for its revenge.
It wanted to devour Matt and Giovanni alive, and then escape.
As long as it could get away from Absol, it would just abandon this island; it could escape anywhere, as long as it could ensure its safety.
It flew up and pounced towards Matt and Giovanni.
The two Chiefs beside Matt were pale with fright, and even Matt's face was very grim at this moment.
However, Giovanni remained utterly calm. He lifted his foot and kicked the trembling Haunter at his feet towards the Haunter of a thousand years.
Because it was in fear, the Haunter didn't expect Giovanni to do something like that to it.
It was directly kicked flying, heading towards the Haunter of a thousand years.
By the time it reacted, it was too late to resent Giovanni; it hurriedly tried to escape!
However, the Haunter of a thousand years also saw this traitor. Since it had delivered itself, how could it tolerate it? It directly raised its giant claw and grabbed the Haunter.
It easily crushed the Haunter in its claw and then opened its mouth to swallow the Haunter.
The Haunter struggled within its body, its consciousness slowly fading.
Although it was only for a moment, don't forget there were two other Pokémon in the sky; they weren't just for show.
The Haunter of a thousand years was so scared by Absol that it forgot such an existence.
Matt shouted twice, "Pidgeot! Charizard!"
Pidgeot and Charizard had been closely watching, and upon seeing Matt attacked, they instantly dove down.
With their battered bodies, they finally blocked the Haunter of a thousand years's pounce this time! And they became entangled in a struggle with it.
The Haunter of a thousand years let out an unwilling roar, but it sensed Absol's movements behind it and dared not hesitate any longer, only able to hurriedly fly up, planning to escape.
Swish swish!!
But how could Absol give it another chance!
Using the Double Team move, multiple Absol surrounded the Haunter of a thousand years, making it impossible to escape, their claws glowing with Dark-type energy fluctuations!
Feint Attack!
