Quick Battle

"Ghost Rider?"

After hearing the unfamiliar name, Peggy frowned: "He doesn't seem friendly."

"Yes."

Asher smiled and continued saying: "A desperate, deceived people, willing to sign a contract with the devil, destined to roam the world as a hellish being, harvesting sinful souls for their master - this is the Ghost Rider." "

"The devil? That sounds a little scary."

Peggy smiled, and her gaze instinctively focused on the flaming skeleton that was speeding toward them.

But it was the moment she looked into his eyes...

"Hmm..."

Peggy let out a bitter whisper, it felt like something in her was burning!

"Do not look into his eyes - The Gaze of Penance, will burn your soul if you have committed sins during your life."

At this moment, accompanying Asher's voice, a powerful wave of energy helped Peggy dispel the terrible burning feeling in her mind.

"He... Why is he here?"

Peggy took a deep breath and asked seriously.

Just from what happened now, she could basically determine that this Ghost Rider or whatever he was was definitely hostile towards humans.

"He probably came after me."

Asher said calmly - "It's a little complicated to explain, but me and your master, the Demon Lord ''Mephisto''... We don't have a very good relationship."

"Mephisto?"

"Don't be surprised - it's the one from the Bible."

While muttering casually, Asher directly jumped from the passenger seat.

"... Isn't he very well related to the devil? He wouldn't be a real ''Saint'', right?"

After hearing the incredible words Asher said, Peggy couldn't help but murmur.

However, at this moment, Asher didn't have time to pay attention to Peghy's murmurs.

He just faced the Ghost Rider who was speeding towards him, the burning motorcycle that was coming at high speed stopped as it approached him.

"Human..."

The Biker looked at Asher with empty eyes, his voice was hoarse and strange, it was chilling as if it was coming straight from the bones.

"You... Guilty."

With those words, a powerful hellfire exploded from his eyes.

And with that, a burning sensation also invaded Asher's mind!

"Boom!"

This was the power of the Penance Gaze - Able to judge the "Evil" within people, and then burn their souls making those found guilty feel all the pain they caused!

But...

"..."

Still looking at Asher, the flaming skeleton seemed to have some doubts on his face.

"Okay, stop looking."

Asher, on the other hand, looked at Ghost Rider and said, "Whether I'm guilty or not, it's not a devil's envoy like you who can judge me."

To be honest, Asher felt quite relieved after finding out that it was Ghost Rider who was sent by Mephisto to attack him.

Of course, the Ghost Rider is an extremely powerful existence - Surrounded by hellfire, they are immortal and ruthless, even a Demon Lord like Mephisto usually has at most one Spirit of Vengeance walking the earth at one time.

Their most powerful move is their ''Penance Gaze'', which is basically indefensible to ordinary people even to sorcerers, witches and other low-level supernatural beings, because it directly attacks the soul.

But coincidentally...

"Soul attacks, I'm not afraid."

Asher stood calmly on the road as a sign slowly appeared behind him.

[Arceus Plate: Spooky]

[Introduction: One of the eighteen plates of the Pokémon God of Creation ''Arceus'', symbolizing the source of all ghost/soul energy in the Pokémon world]

[Effect: After use, transforms the host attribute into ''Ghost'', increases the attack power of ghost creatures by 200%, and makes the user immune to attacks targeting the soul].

Yes - this plate that Asher had obtained some time ago happened to be the thing that restricted Ghost Rider the most!

"Go to hell! Sinner!"

The moment that sign appeared, Ghost Rider seemed to sense something and let out a bone-chilling roar, and then the flaming chain in his hands flew straight towards Asher!

"Boom!"

The chains burning with hellfire burned the ground the moment they touched it, but Asher's figure that could not be seen anywhere the instant the chains hit the ground, suddenly appeared behind the Ghost Rider.

Teleportation!

Then, Asher reached out towards the biker's skeletal head!

"Buzz!"

A powerful energy was concentrated in his palm, and then a Hyper Beam struck the skeleton's head at close range!

"Boom!"

The beam of energy swallowed the flaming skull easily hitting the ground, instantly creating a deep ravine.

"So weak..."

After seeing that Ghost Rider's skull had been completely destroyed by Hyper Beam, Asher He slowly withdrew his hand.

The ghost-type plate made him immune to the Spirit of Vengeance's gaze, and then moving instantly to avoid the hellfire attack, followed by a direct hit from a powerful Hyper Beam - there was no suspense from beginning to end, if it was a prolonged fight without the natural advantages Asher has accumulated, so it could have gone differently.

"So this is my current strength."

Asher finally felt it at this moment - it turned out that he had actually reached a good level of power!

It's worth noting that this Ghost Rider didn't look anything like his versions from other universes, or even if his main ability didn't work, Asher would still suffer a lot to defeat him.

But that didn't take away Asher's happiness with this victory, because it was proof that even without the power of his Pokémon, he himself is enough to deal with an encounter with Ghost Rider!

"Good!"

While Asher was feeling very happy, the headless Ghost Rider's crippled body began to change!

The hellfire burned furiously, and the skeleton's head, which had been completely destroyed just above the neck, actually began to reform.

"Immortal body..."

At this moment, Asher remembered - While in Spirit of Vengeance form the Ghost Rider is virtually immortal, he can be delayed, but never destroyed, by even the slightest conventional means.

Because their souls had already been handed over to Mephisto when they signed the contract with the devil, it turns out that the body is actually ''dead'' in essence, sustained only by the power of Hell!

That being the only reason why they can still move, and even live like normal people!

Therefore, it is also precisely for this reason that as long as the hellfire still burns, they cannot be killed.

"Other than my Celebi, doesn't an ugly skeleton like you deserve to be called immortal?"

Asher sneered and commanded - "System, absorb the power into your body now!"

[Detecting the existence of ''Hell Power'' energy nearby, it can be absorbed and converted into 800 system points]

[This energy can also be converted into special energy ''Dark Power'', after use, Pokémon with the "Dark" attribute can obtain a large number of experience points, can be used to, and increase the chance of the Pokémon to obtain a special ability, please host choose one of the options].
