A heavy mist rolled across the farm as night fell. In the clearing behind Rei's house, eerie symbols glowed on the ground, pulsing with an ominous light.
Rei stood at the center, arms crossed, watching as the ritual circle activated.
This wasn't an ordinary summoning.
Using the methods once practiced by cultists who he killed, Rei had prepared a ritual to summon Ghost Pokémon directly from the Spirit Realm.
Tonight was the night. The air grew cold. A dark portal tore open above the circle, swirling with purple energy. From within, a piercing, cackling voice echoed.
Then, it appeared.
A Mismagius—a powerful ghost witch Pokémon—floated out of the portal, its aura suffocating.
Its red eyes glowed, and the very air shuddered under its presence.
This was no ordinary Mismagius. It was a Heavenly King-rank Pokémon.
The moment it appeared, it let out a powerful hex, attempting to curse everyone nearby.
The Battle
But Rei had prepared.
"Hanuape!" Rei commanded.
In an instant, Hanuape's eyes flashed with a brilliant psychic glow.
The Mismagius froze mid-air, trapped in Hanuape's powerful Psychic chains. It struggled, but Hanuape's strength held firm.
Then, without hesitation—
Mimikyu lunged.
Mimikyu's Feast
The small, shadowy figure moved with terrifying speed.
Mismagius barely had time to react before Mimikyu's cloth expanded, consuming it whole.
A moment of silence.
Then—
A surge of energy exploded outward.
Mimikyu's entire body glowed with an eerie black and purple light, its form shifting, warping, and changing.
The energy of a Heavenly King-rank Pokémon was being absorbed.
Mimikyu's Breakthrough
Rei watched as Mimikyu's aura expanded, becoming something stronger.
King-level.
His Mimikyu—his small, mischievous partner—had finally broken through into the ranks of true powerhouses.
When the light faded, Mimikyu floated silently, its energy far stronger than before.
Rei smirked. "Well, that worked."
Tonight, Mimikyu had become something far more terrifying than before.
