Alex looked at the next pokemon, dusclops and was vigilant too. The dusclops line is rumoured to be the transporter of dead souls to the next world.

It is also said that they are also agents of giratina in the material world and are his followers. They are also prominent in soul so according to Alex they might be prominent in spirit moves.

" Haunter be prepared for the battle. This will be really tough. Start with punch combo."

Haunter attacked directly with Fire, ice and thunder punch which was blocked by the similar attacks of dusclops. Dusclops seem to easily block those attacks with his attacks and meanwhile his eyes glowed light blue.

Earlier Alex missed the change in colouration of misdreavus but this time he was extra vigilant and seeing this he immediately shouted," Toxic along with ghost field."

He released a poison shot a dusclops who easily dodged it and then released a ghostly energy around itself so that he could scan the entire place with his powers.

" Dual guardian" Willow plainly said

And an avatar five metre tall made up of Earth and air was formed. The wind avatar was in the form of a tornado with blue eyes and the one of Earth was in shape of a monkey with similar blue eyes.

This confirmed another thing yet he asked," Is this spirit power."

" Indeed but it is a bit more than that. Can you find it out."

Haunter seeing the three opponent released more ghost powers and two hazy ghost came out. They were irregular shaped avatar with red eyes.

This was the prototype of his shadow army.

" Clash"

Soon the two started to clash worth each other. This time although Haunter"s avatar can distract those of dusclops but he can"t match dusclops. He was thinking of stopping frontal combat and start sneak attack.

" Haunter continue to attack head on." Although reluctant he continued. Alex knew that the moment haunter gave dusclops freedom to move the two a star who barely took on the two elemental form would be out for the count and then Haunter would be surrounded.

His situation will be more dangerous than just now. So it was better to utilise how long he can last.

There is a new tactics he taught Haunter. Whenever it comes that he is cornered, he will use toxic in small amounts in his punches and try to poison the opponent.

Soon dusclops was getting more and more poison injected in the body and get acc.u.mulated in the body. And he was getting affected by the poison.

Although dusclops was poisoned Haunter was injured so he was getting tired over time.

Alex immediately told Haunter," ghost time."

Then he manipulated the ghostly avatar to reach dusclops and soon s.h.i.+ned brightly and then burst up harming dusclops and even hurting haunter.


Dusclops was irritated and immediately had the two avatar target Haunter. Knowing that Haunter can"t last long he released the last attack.

He then told Haunter," fire shadow ball."

A shadow ball containing fire from will o wisp slammed on.

On collision a fire raged around dusclops and gave him burned but Haunter was knocked under the attack of the two avatars.

" Haunter is unable to battle. Dusclops win this round."

" Please send your last pokemon."

Alex returned Haunter and then sent our his last Pokemon. It was Slowking.

" Slowking summon the lake."

Soon he summoned water in the air and crashed onto the three figures opposite to him. But dusclops floated in the air along with wind avatar but water completely destroyed the Earth avatar.

" Impressive water attack. Though it won"t be enough."

" I know that. I was in a disadvantage earlier so I wanted to change the field to my advantage. So now, Slowking sent out the school on hunt."

A school of small fishes we"re formed which attacked the two who floated above the water. It even pulled down the wind avatar keeping it busy so Slowking was left to deal with dusclops.

" Water slash" Slowking sent out slashes made of water to corner the pokemon and when he came to the place, soon water begin to surround the ghost type.

Being poisoned and also burned has took a toll on dusclops so he wasn"t able to attack him.

Alex didn"t give him a chance and "ice spear". Soon a spear made of ice hit dusclops and freeze him and to end he ordered the last move," Zen headb.u.t.t"

He slammed onto dusclops ending his battle.

" Dusclops is unable to battle. The winner is Alex Bart of floral town." Daniel declared.

Willow returned the Pokemon back and alex did it too. Willow headed towards Alex and said," impressive battle. Alex. I didn"t think you were so strong.

Here it is the ghost badge ."

He got a skull shaped badge with two stars. Alex took the badge but he has some thoughts about the battle.

Throughout the battle Willow didn"t make a single command which confused Alex.

" Why did you not command the pokemons on the battle?" He asked

" The trainers who normally challenge me are beginner or intermediate level. So I usually use primary pokemons but you are a special case.

These pokemons belong to my subst.i.tute group of main team. Agatha wanted me to show the characters of the ghost type since you were turning it into a poison type.

Although not wrong but according to her Haunter has great ghost potential but this battle showed you weren"t going astray.

The gym is to train and guide young trainer not to crush them. Although you are strong you aren"t enough to make me go all out.

I could have used refresh, rest or even destiny bond to take out your pokemons. There are many ways to take them out. "

" I see. Thank you for your words. " Alex said.

" You are really impressive. I really wish to see how you faced the tyranitar more and more. It would have been amazing." Bill said from behind him.

" Daniel why don"t you entertain the two young man. I have to get something for Alex which Agatha wanted to give him. " Willow said and left inside.

While the three made some small talks Willow Soon returned with something.

What is it that Agatha got for Alex? Stay tuned
