"Has it started yet? It seems a little too late."
Gary watched the crystals spreading outward, knowing that Ash and the others must have disturbed Molly's guilty conscience, causing the crystals to expand.
The crystals appeared because Unown sensed Molly's intentions and used incredible energy to create them.
Molly originally just wanted to build her home into a crystal castle, but she didn't anticipate the crystals spreading outward.
It was because Ash wanted to compete with Molly for her mother that Molly panicked, causing Unown to lose control and let the crystals spread.
Gary wanted to resolve this matter gently, but now it seemed that wouldn't work.
"Come out!"
Gary threw a Poké Ball and released Gengar.
"Gengar, destroy the crystals here. If you encounter Entei, just entangle it; there's no need to fight desperately," Gary said.
"Roar!"
Gengar nodded, indicating that everything should be left to it.
"If you can't beat Entei, you can pretend to be dead," Gary warned.
"Huh? (??~??)?" Gengar was very dissatisfied. When did I, Gengar, need to pretend to be dead to confuse a rival?
"Don't pretend. When you were a young Gastly, you pretended to be weak. Entei is a Legendary Pokémon. What's wrong with pretending a little?" Gary would not give Gengar a chance to argue and complained directly.
Gengar felt embarrassed immediately. Indeed, when it was still a young Gastly, it often hid in the soil and didn't come out.
It was just that it was very curious about how Gary knew about its past.
"I'll leave this to you. I'll go to the Crystal Castle first," Gary said, flying towards the Crystal Castle on Zapdos.
As Gengar watched Zapdos fly away, the surrounding air filled with sand, forming a Sandstorm in an instant to block the spread of the crystals.
The rushing sand was like a barrage of stones. Although it could not destroy the crystals, it successfully halted their expansion.
"The boy released Gengar and used Sandstorm to block the spread of the crystals. Who is that boy?" Fuji asked in surprise.
Boom!
During this period, a loud noise was heard.
Fujikawa and the cameraman immediately moved the camera and saw that Gengar was wreaking havoc on the crystals.
Wherever Dark Pulse passed, the crystals were crushed.
Coupled with the interference of Sandstorm, the crystals seemed to have lost their regenerative ability.
Inside the crystal castle.
"Dad, that scary Pokémon is destroying our home! Dad, go stop it!" Molly shouted hurriedly while watching the broadcast on TV.
This crystal castle is her dream home, and she will not allow outsiders to destroy it.
Entei watched the broadcast on TV and then looked at Ash and Pikachu in front of him. It was too busy at the moment, but Molly's safety was the most important.
"Molly, don't worry. Get rid of the people in front of you, and I'll go deal with the Pokémon outside." After that, Entei unleashed a ball of purple flame towards Pikachu.
"Pika!"
Pikachu was overpowered and injured, so it couldn't fight back for a while.
"Pikachu!" Ash saw that Pikachu was trapped and immediately rushed over to hold Pikachu.
Boom!!
The purple flame exploded, and the impact of the explosion broke a hole in the crystal wall, causing Ash and Pikachu to fall out of the hole together.
"Ash!" Delia's heart nearly broke when she saw this scene.
Ash and Pikachu fell towards the ground, where many crystal spikes awaited. If they fell, they would be stabbed directly.
However, at the critical moment, an orange-red figure rushed towards Ash and Pikachu quickly and caught them.
Ash and Pikachu, who were saved, screamed when they saw the figure that rescued them.
"Charizard!"
"Pikachu!"
Ash and Pikachu looked at the Charizard that saved them, shocked, because the Charizard in front of them was not Ash's and was a different size.
"Roar!!"
But the next moment, an orange figure appeared behind Charizard, and it was also a Charizard. This Charizard was Ash's.
"Is it Miss Liza who is here?" Ash asked in surprise.
"What are you thinking? It's me." Gary chased after them on Zapdos.
"Gary!"
"Pika!"
Ash and Pikachu were surprised again. They didn't expect Gary to appear here.
"Gary, you came just in time. Come and help me save my mother," Ash said hurriedly.
"Aunt Delia is safe. What we need to do is solve the problem here. Everything here is what Molly wants. We need to deal with the Unown inside the castle; otherwise, nothing can end," Gary said.
"Then what should we do?" Ash asked.
"I will fight Entei, and you go to the castle to deal with all the Unown," Gary said.
"Okay!"
The two made a decision directly, and Ash's Charizard took Ash and Pikachu over.
Then, Gary also lifted himself onto Charizard's back and flew to the crack in the crystal tower.
"Huh! Gary?"
Misty and Brock were dumbfounded. It was Ash and Pikachu who fell down, so why did Gary see Charizard here?
"It's him, the one who destroyed the castle outside," Molly said.
Entei immediately looked unfriendly. This is the home of it and Molly. If you dare to destroy it, you will be its enemy.
[Entei/Phantom]
Gary looked at Entei's data. This Entei is not a real Pokémon but a Pokémon created by Unown. There is no specific standard for its strength.
"Entei, come out and fight me. As long as you win, I will leave here. You don't want our fight to affect Molly, do you?" Gary said.
"Roar!"
Entei roared and rushed directly towards Charizard.
Charizard immediately rose rapidly.
Entei attacked with Smack Down, falling towards the ground, but the crystal tower suddenly grew many huge spikes, giving Entei a place to land.
Then, crystal spikes grew out from the crystal tower, providing Entei with a foothold, and soon it caught up with Gary.
"Roar!!"
Entei saw that the distance was enough and opened its mouth to prepare for a fire attack, but a thunderbolt struck Entei quickly and hit him.
Entei endured the headache and looked up to see Zapdos in the sky.
"Entei, don't struggle. You are just a Pokémon born from Molly's thoughts. Molly just misses her father. You should help Molly find her father, not become her father," Gary took the opportunity to shout.
This Entei has normal thinking and understands that it is a Pokémon born from Molly's thoughts.
It thinks about problems completely with Molly as the center and has great potential for persuasion.
