Elf: I run a haunted house at home
Chapter 1: The Beginning
The gray sky, the decaying earth, the seemingly endless dark clouds, and the surroundings were filled with a large number of evil spirits. They exuded an ominous aura and floated in the air as if they were chasing something?
Boom! “Geng Gui, use the wave of evil,” Hearing the call of his master, Geng Gui rubbed his hands vigorously, and a huge purple beam rushed out of the sky, knocking away many evil spirits. The middle-aged man hugged his lover and ran at a fast speed, “We must catch up, we will reach the exit in a little while, Aya, hold on!”
When the man thought he was about to break through the space crack, the entrance to the spirit world in front of him suddenly closed.
“No!!!,” the man shouted unwillingly. At this moment, a hand brushed his cheek. “It’s okay, my husband. I knew this day would come the moment I became the vigil keeper.” The man looked at his wife and was overwhelmed with grief. “It’s my fault. You shouldn’t have entered the spirit world with me.”
At this time, the wife barely stood up from her husband’s arms, “Since there is no way to go back, let’s fight these evil spirits!” Although the wife was seriously injured, her eyes were still full of determination, “Little Mimi, we have to do our best.”
A huge shadow claw stretched out from behind her. The champion Mimikyu no longer restrained herself and released her ferocity with all her strength. Gengar also returned to the man’s side. It seemed that the atmosphere was no longer serious. He made faces to make his trainer laugh like he did when they were children. The man cheered up again, his eyes were firm, “Yeah, there’s no way back, so let’s take these damn things with us to be buried with us!”
Feeling their trainer’s determination to face death, Gengar and Mimikyu unleashed their champion domain with all their strength, and a terrifying aura rushed out of the sky. The evil spirits felt the terrifying aura flying everywhere, but they never left. Their black hole-like eyes seemed to be looking at delicious food, and they wanted to tear apart this living soul.
The man and the woman held hands and looked at the evil spirits in front of them. “Little ghost (little mimic), shadow ball”, the huge shadow ball became unprecedentedly huge under the combined power of the two champion-level elves. The huge shadow ball rushed out of the sky and directly destroyed hundreds of evil spirits.
“Hubby, I didn’t expect this to be the outcome! What should I do with my son!” Although the woman looked resolute, she felt guilty when she mentioned her son. She could no longer accompany him to grow up.
“Well, even if we all leave, Teacher Kikuko will protect him. I just hope he doesn’t follow our old path,” the man was relieved. He looked at the evil spirits that gathered in front of him again, and the anger that had accumulated in his heart began to be released.
Gengar and Mimikyu flew into the air, as if the moves just now did not consume too much energy. The final scene stayed on the man and woman, commanding their own elves, rushing towards the army of evil spirits with fearless determination.
Time goes back to the outside of the spiritual world rift that had just closed. Broken arms and limbs were everywhere, and blood had dyed the gate of the ruins red.
An old woman was walking on the path to the altar. She had dark blond hair, wore a purple long skirt, and an apron. Her attire gave the impression of a kind old woman, but her eyes were full of murderous intent, as if they could freeze everything in front of her. The scarlet eyes hidden in the shadows flashed by. She walked to the altar and seemed to be talking to herself, “Are you going to come out on your own, or should I ask you to come out?”
A ghostly energy suddenly flowed from the pillar next to the ruins, and a young figure emerged from it. “Haha, it’s you indeed! Old lady Kikuko, you’re the only one who can see through my concealment. How many years have we not seen each other? About 30 years.”
“Yes, back then, you, Da Mu, and A Liu, we went on adventures together and safeguarded the growth of the alliance together,” Kikuko seemed to be recalling the past, looking at the old friend in front of her, lamenting the cruelty of time, “but you actually betrayed me, not only assassinated A Liu when he was still seriously injured, but even in order to reach the master level, you brutally massacred four towns and ate the souls of all innocent people and elves,” Kikuko stared at the person in front of her with murderous eyes.
“Hahaha, what’s wrong with me for adding a master? Those untouchables used their souls to add a master to the alliance, what’s wrong with that!” The other party suddenly became excited, and his words were full of madness.
“What did you do to my disciples?” Kikuko asked calmly, not affected by the crazy words. “Of course, they were lured to the spirit world by me, and now they are probably torn to pieces by evil spirits.” The person in front of him seemed to remember something funny, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Boom! The huge shadow fist blasted towards the opponent, and Gengar in Kikuko’s shadow could no longer hold back and attacked directly.
Boom! The green protective shield protected the young man inside. A crystal lamp fire spirit appeared beside him. Ghost elements were surging. This crystal lamp fire spirit was more than twice as large as the ordinary crystal lamp fire spirit. The surrounding space seemed to be distorted because of the boiling of fire elements and ghost elements.
“Geng Gui, mega evolution,” Kikuko pressed her palm towards the seven-colored gem on the cane, and she took out her trump card. The colorful light wrapped around Gengar, and the light flashed. Gengar’s body was covered with spikes, and the lower half of the body was purple-red with a hole in the middle. Super Gengar appeared. The Poké Ball on Kikuko’s body opened automatically, and all the main forces appeared. Kikuko’s body also began to change, and slowly turned back to youth. Soon, a young blonde beauty appeared in the center of many Pokémons.
“So you’ve also broken through to the master level, Kikuko. We haven’t seen each other for 30 years. Let’s have some fun!” The other party was no longer hiding. When the Poké Ball was opened, many Pokémon appeared inside, including Soul-Catching Eyes, Rock Monster, Crocodile, Crow Head, and so on.
The two sides confronted each other in this ancient relic. The terrifying air pressure directly shook the ruins to the point of collapse. Suddenly, both sides moved. Dozens of energy waves collided with each other, causing a huge explosion. The ruins began to collapse, and the battle between the two sides began. In the end, the battle lasted for three days and three nights. Except for the two sides, no one knew the final outcome. Only the wreckage within a radius of several kilometers centered on the ruins told of the fierceness of the battle.

Elf: I Open a Haunted House at Home: Chapter 2: Haunted House at Home
“Ah! I’m going to be late for work!” A purple-haired boy woke up from the bed. It was a room with special decoration, a huge Gengar poster, a candlelight table lamp, a Gengar tongue-sticking alarm clock, a Mimikyu doll, and the quilt on the bed was embroidered with a large number of ghost Pokémon patterns.
When the boy woke up and looked at the virtual screen in front of him, it showed [Host Lingyuan: Fear value +10].
“I was so scared, I thought I had put it on again,” he stroked his slightly wet face, “Haunter, get out here right now, I’ll count to three, one, two,” and when he was about to count to three, a figure emerged from under the bed and a smiling face in black appeared.
“Hehehehe!” Looking at the smiling face in front of him, “Haunter, didn’t I tell you not to lick me when I’m sleeping?” The boy looked at the Haunter in front of him with resentment. It was not the first time that he was attacked while sleeping. The boy got up, opened the curtains, looked at the rising sun in the distance and fell into deep thought.
Hello everyone, my name is Ling Yuan. In my previous life, I was a typical office worker, busy running between work and family every day. After working overtime and looking forward to the New Year holiday, I was taken advantage of by the Cement Truck God as my performance.
When I woke up again, what I saw was a big face of Gengar. I was so scared that I burst into tears on the spot. As a result, my new parents, Gengar and Mimikyu were busy trying to cheer me up. Until then, I found that I had traveled to my favorite Pokémon world in my previous life.
My family is quite special. I don’t know if my parents like ghost Pokémon very much. There are ghost Pokémon all over the house, such as Aunt Gengar who likes to make me happy and Uncle Mimikyu who is calm and steady, but actually a bit of a sultry guy. I am not very clear about what our family does. Occasionally, my parents will disappear for a while, and I don’t know what they do, but they will always come home at the agreed time.
They never came back until I was five years old. Two weeks after the agreed time, an old man came to my door. I was shocked when I saw the old man. He had that familiar apron and long skirt, and a cane. Oh my god, as a Pokémon enthusiast, how could I not know who this old man was? He was Kikuko, the oldest Pokémon in the league and a true master of ghost and poison. Did my parents know Kikuko?
“You must be Xiao Yuan, your parents went to a faraway place. From today on, you will live with me.” There was sadness in Kikuko’s eyes, but she still tried her best to maintain a kind smile.
As a child with an adult soul, I understood the meaning of this sentence very well, and then I followed the old man and left the home where I had lived for five years.
Today is my tenth birthday. There is a very strange situation in this world. If you decide to become a trainer, you will start traveling at the age of 10. This comes from the differences among trainer factions within the league. According to the information I have obtained, this world is more in line with the situation in the special comics. Trainers are divided into the travel faction and the academy faction, and field battles are more inclined to unruly battles, while internal league competitions are more inclined to battles within rules.
The reason why children are allowed to travel at the age of 10 is to train their wild fighting ability and find suitable talents through the selection of nature. However, since a large number of people die during travel every year, many parents prefer to send their children to trainer schools for further study. Now most of the strong people in the top of the alliance are from the travel faction. Each of them is a warrior who has experienced many battles. It is with their suppression that the safety of many civilians is protected.
The strength of the elves is mainly divided into: newborn (levels 1-10), primary (levels 11-20), intermediate (levels 21-30), advanced (levels 31-40), elite (levels 41-50), gym (levels 51-60), quasi-king (levels 61-70), king (levels 71-80), champion (levels 81-90), master (levels 91-100).
The strength of a Pokémon is not defined by a simple energy level, but rather by overall strength, but the highest level that most civilians can access is the gym level, because every city is guarded by a gym, and towns are jointly managed by police and administrative agencies.
League trainers are divided into: Ordinary trainers: divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced, elite trainers, gym trainers, quasi-king trainers, king trainers, champion trainers, and master trainers.
Looking at the rising sun, Ling Yuan sighed, “Haunter, let’s go and have breakfast.”
After Lingyuan made the bed and washed up, he took Haunter downstairs, left the room, walked down the stairs and came to the kitchen. The house Lingyuan lives in now is a three-story villa. The first floor is the haunted house he runs, the second floor is the kitchen and the elves’ room, and the third floor is Lingyuan’s own room. Not long after Lingyuan and Kikuko left, his gold finger awakened, called [The Strongest Ghost Pokémon Master System].
This system is very fool-proof. Its main function is to collect the fear emotions emitted by people and convert them into fear values. Ling Yuan can use the fear values ​​to synthesize the required items and arrange tasks, as well as identify elves. There is not even any guidance instructions. He was ecstatic when he got the system, but after calming down, he found that he needed to collect fear emotions before using it. He is not a big villain, he is a legitimate third-generation alliance, so he thought of a way, which is to open a haunted house.
After some selection, he chose Jinhuang City, which had the largest traffic flow, as the location for the haunted house, and he specifically found a vacant haunted house. A family had died in this villa before, and an urban legend appeared on the Internet, saying that the wealthy father in the villa suddenly went mad and killed his wife and daughter, and finally hanged himself in the hall. The ghost inside has been wandering around.
After seeing this legend, he was ecstatic. Isn’t this a haunted house tailor-made for him? Even the publicity was done for him. So he showed his shameless spirit in his previous life and ran to Kikuko, begging her to agree. At the age of 8, he came to Jinhuang City and bought this haunted house. He has been transforming it into a haunted house until now.
“Geng Xi, Geng Xi,” Haunter flew to Ling Yuan and watched him making breakfast. He kept circling around him, as if urging him to prepare his meal. “I know, I know, just wait a moment.” After the fried eggs were ready, he put the toast into the toaster.
Ling Yuan walked to the drawer next to him and took out the ghost-type energy block and spiritual incense. The energy block was a top-level energy block made by the system after Ling Yuan put in specific tree fruits, while the spiritual incense was a Pokémon item that promoted the development of ghost-type Pokémon.
“Little Candle, this is your portion,” Ling Yuan put a full of energy cubes into a huge dog bowl and said to the void.
“Woof, woof, woof,” a dog’s barking sound was heard in the void, and a tongue suddenly stretched out and rolled up the energy block.
“By the way, where are the eldest, second and third brothers? Aren’t they always on time for mealtime?” Ling Yuan asked Haunter.
“Hehe, hehe, hehe,” Haunter kept gesticulating in front of Ling Yuan, making faces and laughing.
“You mean they came up with a new performance and went to the Golden Gym?” Ling Yuan said uncertainly.
“Hehe, hehe,” Haunter nodded, “Okay, let’s pick them up during the lunch break.” Ling Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly, and after breakfast, he was ready to start his daily business.
“Hello, is anyone there?” a voice came from outside the haunted house.
“Welcome to the haunted horror house. Go through the eerie haunted house and challenge your courage and wisdom!”

Pokémon: I Open a Haunted House at Home: Chapter 3: Letters from the Pokémon Center
“Ah, help, don’t come over here!” A young girl was frightened by the bandaged monster chasing her from behind and ran away, rushing to the next exit and coming to the next room.
The girl looked around. It was a dilapidated classroom. Suddenly, a cute child’s voice rang out, “One, two, three, four, five, six, do you want to play with me?”
“Ah, no!” The girl looked at the chair rushing towards her and ran away in fear.
[Fear value +10]Through the camera, in the monitoring room, watching the female guest who ran away in fear, biting a lollipop, “Alas, after being with ghost-type Pokémon for a long time, I have developed a bit of a bad taste for them,” Ling Yuan looked at the ever-increasing panic value in front of him, feeling very happy.
15 minutes later, at the door of the haunted house.
“I will come back, just wait for me,” the girl turned around and left stubbornly.
“Welcome to visit us next time. Have a nice day,” Ling Yuan said with a smile as he sent away this regular customer. This customer’s name was Shui Yue, and she was a student at the Pokémon Trainer School. She was the type who was addicted to being a novice. She never completed the challenge, and ended up shouting and shivering in a corner. Ling Yuan had to turn on the light and ask her to leave.
“Haunter, let’s call it a day and go have lunch. Little Candle, please help look after the house for a while,” Ling Yuan turned on the switch, closed the door of the haunted house, and shouted upstairs.
“Woof, woof, woof!” A dog barked from the room on the second floor, as if to say, “Leave it to me.”
Haunter floated beside Lingyuan, and the man and his pet walked towards the Pokémon Center. Along the way, Lingyuan greeted many shop owners.
Ding Dong, the glass door of the Pokémon Center opened automatically. “Sister Lan, good afternoon. You are still so radiant today,” Ling Yuan skillfully praised Miss Joy from Golden City.
“Brother Xiao Yuan, you are still so good at talking. How come you have time to come to the Pokémon Center today?”
“Nothing, I just miss the food here, sister. I have to go to the Golden Gym later to pick up the boss and the others,” Ling Yuan answered casually.
“They are performing crosstalk again. Bring them here to play when you have time. I haven’t seen them for a long time,” Qiao Yilan said with a smile.
“Definitely next time, definitely next time,” and then walked towards the Pokémon Center cafeteria, “Lucky, lucky,” Jigglypuff suddenly pulled Lingyuan’s clothes.
“What’s wrong, Jigglypuff, what’s going on?” Ling Yuan looked back at the Pokémon in front of him. It was egg-shaped, with a pink body, short arms and a short tail. It had two hair-like extensions on its head and an egg hanging from its abdomen. Jigglypuff handed over an egg on its chest with its short arms.
“Is this for me?” Ling Yuan pointed at himself, “Lucky, lucky.” Jigglypuff nodded happily, held the egg in his hand, said thank you to Joeylan, and took Haunter to the cafeteria for lunch.
After lunch, we prepared to leave for the Golden Gym to pick up the boss and the others to take home.
“Little brother Xiaoyuan, wait a moment,” Qiao Yilan called Lingyuan. “What’s wrong, Sister Lan?” Dan, who was holding the Jigglypuff egg in her arms, was still thinking about how to cook dinner. When she heard Qiao Yilan’s call, she looked at her in confusion.
“Here are two letters for you. They have the alliance’s exclusive seal on them. You need to sign and take them away,” Qiao Yilan held the two letters and handed them to Ling Yuan solemnly.
“It’s mine, and it also has the alliance’s exclusive seal?” Ling Yuan took it doubtfully and signed his name on the confirmation form.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Golden Gym and looked at the familiar palace design, he complained in his heart, “Sister Nazi, why haven’t you changed the decoration style yet? It looks almost like my haunted house,” Ling Yuan shook his head and walked straight into the Golden Gym.
He greeted the staff skillfully along the way and walked straight towards Naz’s room.
A middle-aged man stood in front of Ling Yuan and said, “Xiao Yuan, long time no see.”
“Uncle, long time no see. How are you and Auntie doing recently?” Ling Yuan greeted the middle-aged man in front of him. This middle-aged man was Nancy’s father. When Ling Yuan first moved to Jinhuang City, he remembered the story about Nancy. And when he saw the middle-aged man in front of him in Jinhuang City Park, Ling Yuan decided to help this genius girl. He specially borrowed Grandma Kikuko’s third team member, a king-level Gengar.
Afterwards, he took this Gengar to a special trip to Lagerstroemia Town and found the three Gengar brothers who were watching TV and imitating funny videos. With the “friendly” persuasion of the king-level Gengar, the three funny brothers decided to follow Ling Yuan and leave.
It was easy after that. He brought the King-level Gengar and broke into the Golden Gym. Facing Nancy, Ling Yuan was very unsportsmanlike and directly sent out the King-level Gengar. With the pressure of the King, he directly suppressed Casey and Nancy, ^(*￣(oo)￣)^.
Then he sent out the three funny brothers to perform in front of Nancy. After Nancy laughed, she returned to normal. Nancy’s father also arrived in time. Seeing the king-level Gengar, he wanted to attack directly, but when he saw Nancy returned to normal, he stopped. After that, Lingyuan and Nancy met in this way.
After returning to normal, Nancy started to perform gym challenges as normal. In her spare time, she would also take some modeling or filming jobs. Now she is a very famous international movie star and fashion model. However, her uncle was quite dissatisfied with this, and after being slapped against the wall by Nancy’s telekinesis, he just let her go.
“The eldest, the second, and the third” are the names Lingyuan gave to the three funny brothers. They found that Nazi particularly liked their comedy shows. Every time they learned a new performance, they would come to Nazi to play. In addition to helping Lingyuan run the haunted house, they would occupy the TV during their rest time and learn funny videos of humans.
Ling Yuan and his uncle came to Nazi’s room, talking and laughing. His uncle knocked on the door, and it opened automatically. What came into view was the three brothers performing and Nazi, who was laughing heartily. “Sister Nazi, long time no see.”
“Xiao Yuan, I’m here to take you home. Today’s performance was great. I’ll be looking forward to your new performance,” Nazi said to the three funny brothers.
“Geng ga, gen ga, gen ga (jie xi, jie xi, jie xi)” the three brothers stopped performing and nodded.
“Sister Nancy, congratulations. I heard that the movie ‘Beauty and Snorlax’ starring you was a huge box office success in the Unova region,” Ling Yuan said to Nancy. “It’s all thanks to you, Xiao Yuan. If it weren’t for the story you wrote, there would be no chance to star in it,” Nancy said with a smile.
“Then I’ll take the eldest brother and the others home first. We have to open in the afternoon. You can come to visit your sister when you have time.” Ling Yuan said as he told the three funny brothers to leave.
“Xiao Yuan, your leisure time is almost over!” Nazi suddenly said mysteriously.
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Ling Yuan looked at Nazi in confusion.
“You’ll know when you go back. Remember to come to my place before you leave,” Naz didn’t tell her the reason, but reminded her of other things.
Lingyuan returned home with the three confused and funny brothers.
Chapter 4: Moving (Old Version)
Elf: I Open a Haunted House at Home: Chapter 4: Moving Pictures and Text
After leaving the Golden Gym, the three funny brothers sneaked into Lingyuan’s shadow, returned to the door of the villa, reopened the door, hung up a sign saying “Open for Business”, and went to the second floor.
“Little Candle, we’re back,” Ling Yuan arranged work for the boss and Haunter, then went to the second floor to put the eggs of the Jigglypuff on the dining table, and shouted to the void, “Woof, woof, woof,” Suddenly, a white, long-haired dog Pokémon with a height of more than 2 meters and a body length of more than 3 meters appeared in front of Ling Yuan. It had a short tail and 3 hard claws on each of its limbs. Its lower jaw protruded, and its nose and mouth were empty. There was a striped protrusion on its head, which looked like a tombstone.
This is Graveyard, and it is also the starting Pokémon of Lingyuan.

Heavenly King Secret: Curse Song, Coffin Explosion
When Lingyuan was two years old, his parents brought back a newborn grave puppy from outside. Lingyuan was very surprised at that time, because in Lingyuan’s memory, this was clearly an elf from the Padia region. Although there was no information disconnection in the elf world, the alliances of various regions were like the countries in the previous life, and there were frequent exchanges, but the Kanto region was on the other side of the planet from the Padia region.
Ling Yuan didn’t care about all these at that time. He rushed up excitedly and hugged the puppy. This scared Ling Yuan’s parents half to death, because before the tomb puppy grows up, it will gradually absorb human energy without realizing it, so you must never play with it for too long.
For a two-year-old baby, this was very dangerous. The mother rushed over to separate the two and taught him that such behavior was dangerous. Ling Yuan was careless and forgot about it. Later, under the guidance of Aunt Gengar, the Grave Dog learned how to control not to absorb human essence. Ling Yuan became inseparable from the Grave Dog and named it Little Candle. On the night of Ling Yuan’s 4th birthday, it evolved into a Grave Dog.
After Lingyuan’s parents disappeared, Lingyuan and Xiao Zhuzhu moved into Kikuko’s grandmother’s house. Lingyuan often shamelessly took Xiao Zhuzhu to see the teacher, and basically asked all the members of Kikuko’s three teams for advice. With Kikuko’s deliberate training, Xiao Zhuzhu reached the peak of the gym level when Lingyuan was 7 years old (mainly because Kikuko’s family’s ghost food was too good, plus she intentionally added some ingredients).
When Lingyuan proposed to open a haunted house in Huangjin City, Kikuko made a bet with him that if Xiaozhu could break through to the quasi-king level (comprehending one’s own mysteries at the gym level and starting to move towards the king level) without the help of Lingyuan, she would agree to let him open a haunted house in Huangjin City.
In the end, Ling Yuan also completed the secrets of the small candle with the help of the system and the wonderful ideas of his previous life.
Song of the Cursed Spirit (crying out + sharing pain + absorbing energy): A large-scale move that forcibly shares the damage, absorbs and spreads the energy through the cry, and forcibly absorbs and restores physical strength.
Coffin Burst (Tomb Sweeping + Night Demon + Smell Detection): Large-scale attack, changing the target of tomb sweeping from single to multiple, all attack levels are the same, and locked through smell detection.
After completing the two prototypes of the Heavenly King Secrets, through a lot of training, Xiaozhu finally broke through to level 61 (quasi-Heavenly King primary) two months later. At that time, the breath of breakthrough directly attracted many Pokémon in the manor. Grandma Kikuko also came to the scene with shock in her eyes, amazed at Lingyuan’s talent, and also felt relieved for her disciple. Kikuko did not go back on her word and provided all the help for Lingyuan’s haunted house plan.
He touched Xiaozhu’s dog head and asked him to go to the backyard to play. He sat on a chair and looked at the two letters sent by the Alliance. When he tore open the first letter, he found that it was an invitation letter, mainly inviting Lingyuan to participate in the gym trainer test at the Golden City Trainer Association, and the specific date.
Ling Yuan had a lot of question marks on his head. He had not applied to become a gym trainer, and weren’t the Kanto gym trainers full? What was going on?
When he opened the second letter, it contained a house title deed and a venue plan in the Dark City. When Ling Yuan saw these, he was even more confused. At this moment, a small note appeared. Ling Yuan looked down and saw a few words written on it in a vigorous and powerful way: “Call me.” This word was too familiar. It was written by Grandma Ju Zi.
Ling Yuan quickly picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number. After a burst of music,
“Hello?” I heard my grandmother’s voice from the other side.
“Grandma, I hope you are in good health. I missed you so much!” Ling Yuan said with a smile.
“Why, you’re so used to your freedom that you forget about an old man like me?”
“How is that possible? I’ve been missing you. I’ll go back to see you in a few days.”
“No need, Xiao Yuan, you must have received those two letters.”
“Got it, grandma, what’s going on? I didn’t apply to be a gym trainer, and what’s going on with this deed to the Dark City?”
“I applied for you. Dark City is planning to expand its development. The Alliance is planning to add a local gym leader, but the Alliance is not satisfied with the candidates they provided. So I decided to hire you. The invitation is just a formality. The assessment will be held in two months. I know your ability. As long as you can prove your ability to be a quasi-king, you can take the position. The land deed is for you to build the gym and the haunted house you want. I have arranged for people to decorate it. You can move in now.”
“This is not good. I’m only 10 years old. If I become a gym leader like this, won’t I be unable to convince the people?” Ling Yuan complained in his mind: How much do you want me to go? You really provide food and accommodation, and I can just move in with my luggage.
“What’s wrong with being 10 years old? As long as you are a quasi-king with a clean background, you can apply to become a gym leader. Besides, there are no ghost-type gyms in the Kanto region yet. The most important thing is that there haven’t been any good seedlings in recent years. Other alliances have started to gossip, and the Kanto Alliance is beginning to face a lack of successors. You better stand up and slap them in the face,” Kikuko said a little angrily.
“Okay, okay, grandma, don’t be angry, I’ll listen to you,” Ling Yuan thought to himself, the latter is the most important reason.
“Close the haunted house in Golden City. I have arranged a moving company for you. Go to Dark City tomorrow to familiarize yourself with the environment and deal with the troubles there. Do you hear me?” Kikuko said in an imperative tone.
“Okay, I understand,” Ling Yuan replied reflexively. [Host Ling Yuan’s Fear Value +20]“That’s it, start packing your luggage, bye!” Kikuko hung up the phone.
“Hey, Sister Nazi, have you seen the future where I leave?” Ling Yuan looked speechlessly in the direction of the Golden Gym.
“Boss, second brother, third brother, Haunter, Little Candle, gather together,” Ling Yuan shouted outside.
Soon, the elves came to Lingyuan collectively. When they learned that they were moving, the three funny brothers were very dissatisfied. However, when they learned that it was Grandma Juzi’s order, they immediately went to help pack their luggage.
Ling Yuan could see clearly,
[Boss’s Fear Value +100][Second child’s fear value +100][Old Three’s Fear Value +100]Ling Yuan took a board and wrote [Due to special reasons, the Golden City Ghost Horror House will be closed from today. New and old customers are welcome to participate in the event at the new address: Dark City xxxxx, xxxxx]. After writing on the board, he replaced the open board and joined the crowd packing.
Chapter 5: Lingyuan vs. Nazi (old version)
The next morning, it was dawn.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong! The sound of the doorbell woke up Ling Yuan who was sleeping soundly. He walked to the iron gate of the villa and saw the staff and the Haoli family. The words “Haoli Moving Company” were also written on the big truck parked at the door. Ling Yuan opened the door.
“Hello, are you Mr. Lingyuan?” the middle-aged man in the lead asked politely.
“It’s me. You are from a moving company, right? Why are you here so early?” Ling Yuan replied with a yawn.
“I’m sorry to bother you. Today’s work is urgent. The employer requires that everything be sent to the Dark City today and the installation must be completed within today,” the middle-aged man said to Ling Yuan embarrassedly.
“It’s not easy for you either. Come on in. Everything has been packed and gathered in the living room so you can move it away directly.” Ling Yuan, as someone who had been through this, knew how difficult the job was, so he didn’t hesitate and let them come in and start moving.
Bringing the staff into the villa, they began to move things skillfully, and after watching for a while, they went to prepare breakfast for the elves, and waited for the person in charge to come in and explain that all the things had been moved and signed the confirmation letter.
“Big Boss, Second Boss, Third Boss, Haunter, Candle, pack up. We’re going to the Golden Gym first, then the Pokémon Center, and then we’re going to the Dark City.”
“Geng Ga, Geng Ga, Geng Ga (Woof Woof Woof),” the elves nodded, packed up some of their luggage and threw them directly into the boss’s stomach. Under Ling Yuan’s gaze, the Gengars collectively jumped into Ling Yuan’s shadow, while Xiao Candle entered the Poké Ball on Ling Yuan’s chest and stayed by his side to protect his safety. Xiao Yuan walked to the door and locked it, then hung the board with the haunted house’s change of address on the iron gate, turned around and left the home where he had lived for almost two years.
After walking for a while, Lingyuan arrived at the entrance of the Golden Gym. As if the door was already open and they knew of his arrival, Lingyuan headed straight towards the battlefield. When he entered the battlefield, Nancy was sitting on her throne with a dull look in her eyes. When she saw Lingyuan walk in, there was a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
“Xiao Yuan, you’re here,” Nazi returned to her usual coolness.
“I’m here, Sister Nazi. Did you predict that I would leave Golden City in the future? That’s why you said that yesterday,” Ling Yuan asked Nazi.
“Not really, it’s just that we, the eight gym leaders, received a notice from the league in advance saying that a new quasi-elite trainer will become a local gym leader, and your information has actually been in front of us for a long time. Brother Xiao Yuan, I voted for you!” Nancy seemed to be looking at a cute toy.
Ling Yuan shuddered. Every time Sister Nazi showed this look, something bad was going to happen! As expected!
“At that time, the opinions of the eight major gym leaders were very divided. As you know, Hualan and Nibi were already in a period of transition, and their representatives voted against it, fearing that their positions would be threatened. Changpan and Qianhong hoped to suppress you. After all, you are too old. People like Yuhong, Honglian, Kuye, and our own Huangjin voted in favor, and the situation became 4 to 4. In the end, it was King Kikuko who made the decision, but there was a condition, that is, in the quasi-king assessment two months later, you will face an opponent at the peak of the quasi-king level,” Nancy said to Xiaoyuan with a smile.
“Alala, grandma is really looking for trouble for me, so? Sister Nazi, what is the matter that you want me to come here today?” Ling Yuan looked at Nazi calmly.
“Of course, it’s to let you experience in advance the strength of the peak of the quasi-king, so that you know how to work hard,” Naz said jokingly.
Ling Yuan looked at Nazi in front of him, extremely speechless. “Are you sure it’s not because I’m leaving Jinhuang City that you want to find a chance to avenge what happened two years ago? You really shouldn’t mess with women,” Ling Yuan teased in his heart.
“Okay, this time I, as the gym senior, will teach you how to be a qualified gym leader. Come out, Alakazam.” Nancy stopped joking and directly used her psychic power to open the Poké Ball.
Elf: Alakazam
Gender: Female
Attribute: Psychic
Features: Mental strength
Qualification: Quasi-king level
Level: 70 (quasi-king peak)
Level skills: telekinesis, spoon bending, immobilization, teleportation, phantom light, reflection wall, exchange of venues, mental blade, self-regeneration, mental shock, mental power, predicting the future, meditation, sleep, true qi fist, shadow ball.
Heavenly King’s Secret: Mental Ripples, Mental Barrier
This is definitely not Nancy’s ace Alakazam. He had seen that Alakazam before. It was a mid-level King-level Alakazam. The reason why he could suppress Nancy at that time was because the Gengar in Team Three of Grandma Kikuko’s was a Gengar at the peak of the King level, who had already begun to comprehend the origin of ghosts. He stayed in Team Three because the other Gengars were too strong, so he could suppress Nancy who had not yet unified her mental power. The one in front of him was the same Casey from back then.
“Oh, it seems we have to fight. Little Candle, get ready for battle,” Ling Yuan shouted loudly as he looked at the situation in front of him.
“Roar!” The figure of Little Candle appeared in front of Xiao Yuan. Little Candle, who was ready for battle, was not as silly as usual, and his fierceness as a ghost was undoubtedly revealed.
Graveyard Husk and Alakazam were in a standoff, and the auras of both sides burst out. At this moment, a figure appeared in the referee’s seat, “Now, the Golden City Gym Leader Nancy will fight against the Dark City Gym candidate Lingyuan. The battle is 1v1. When one side loses the ability to fight, the battle ends and the challenger will initiate the attack.” Nancy’s father suddenly appeared and announced the rules of the battle.
Ling Yuan was speechless. Are you sure you don’t want to see him get beaten up and avenge yourself? Are both you and your daughter so petty? And can you please take back the smile on your lips? It’s almost curving!
“Little Candle, Shadow Ball,” Ling Yuan gave the order directly. Little Candle opened his mouth wide and the Shadow Ball blasted directly towards Alakazam.
“Shadow Ball, Alakazam,” Nancy replied coldly, and the two energy balls collided and caused an explosion, with smoke and dust covering the entire battlefield.
“Alakazam, teleport,”
“Little candle, sneak attack,”
Alakazam and Tomb Raider disappeared at the same time. On the field, two figures could be seen chasing each other. Alakazam’s Shadow Ball and Tomb Raider’s Shadow Ball flew up from time to time, making the ground bumpy. Boom! After a blow, Alakazam returned to Nancy, while Tomb Raider grabbed the ground and dragged himself to Lingyuan. The difference in strength between the two sides was obvious.
“Xiao Yuan, it’s time for you to see the fighting style of a quasi-king, the mental ripples,” Nancy looked at Ling Yuan with sharp eyes. Alakazam’s two spoons were intertwined, and her mental power was like ripples on water. Wave after wave of mental shocks hit the Tomb Dog, making it unable to move.
“Damn it, the secret of the King of Heaven, in that case, little candle, song of the cursed spirit,” Ling Yuan also knew that now was the time to show his real ability. The Tomb Dog opened its mouth wide, and the ghost sound waves began to ripple and confronted the super power energy. The purple ripples and the blue ripples squeezed and twisted each other. At this time.
“Spiritual barrier,” Nancy suddenly ordered. Alakazam’s spoon turned, and the Grave Dog was wrapped in a polyhedron sphere formed by superpowers. As Alakazam’s spoon swung, the sphere swung up and down, and the Grave Dog inside was dizzy by the recoil. No matter how Lingyuan shouted, the Grave Dog did not respond.
Boom! When the spiritual barrier was lifted, the tomb dog was already lying on the ground, motionless.
“Little Candle,” upon hearing Ling Yuan’s voice, the Tomb Yang Dog opened its eyes and slowly stood up. It wanted to fight to the last moment, “Little Candle, don’t get up, that’s enough,” Ling Yuan called out to the Tomb Yang Dog with heartache, “Woof!” The Tomb Yang Dog looked at Ling Yuan and gave a firm bark. Looking at the Tomb Yang Dog in front of him, he knew it was time to try his best.
“I understand. Let’s fight. The coffin explodes with maximum power.” “Roar!” The ghost energy surged, and Mu Yang used his last strength to perform his strongest king’s secret move. The huge coffin-shaped energy bomb blasted towards Alakazam.
“Alakazam, mental barrier, sixth layer.” A six-layer hexagonal barrier formed in front of Alakazam. When the energy burst from the coffin hit it, the six-layer barrier twisted, unloading the energy, and then bounced back directly, hitting the Tomb Dog.
“Not good, quickly hold on,” Ling Yuan didn’t expect that the Tomb Yang Dog’s special skill would be directly rebounded, and hurriedly asked the Tomb Yang Dog to defend, but it was too late. The Tomb Yang Dog’s condition did not allow it to activate the defense in time. Only a loud bang was heard, mixed with the Tomb Yang Dog’s screams.
“Little Candle!” Ling Yuan rushed over directly. When the smoke cleared, the Tomb Dog was in a miserable state. There were cracks on its limbs and feet, and its hair was very messy. It was lying on the ground, unconscious.
“The Grave Dog has lost its ability to fight, and the Golden Gym Leader, Nancy, wins!” Nancy’s father announced the result of the battle.
Lingyuan took the Gravehel back into the Poké Ball, bowed to Nancy and Nancy’s father to express his gratitude for their guidance, and then went straight to the Pokémon Center without looking back.
“Daughter, were you too harsh on Xiao Yuan?” Nazi’s father said as he watched Ling Yuan leave.
“My younger brother usually looks carefree and very polite, but he is actually very proud in his heart,” Nazi replied calmly as she watched Ling Yuan leave. “But this won’t work. He has started to slack off. If I don’t give him a warning before he leaves to wake him up, I won’t be so merciful to him when he faces enemies in the future,” Nazi said and walked towards her room without looking back.
“Oh, I hope he can understand that King Kikuko also has good intentions,” Nazi’s father shook his head and turned to arrange people to repair the venue.
Chapter 6: Mission Arrives (Old Version)
Ding Dong, the door of the Pokémon Center opened, and Joylan had already started preparing for today’s work.
“Sister Lan, please help, Candlelight is seriously injured,” Ling Yuan rushed to Joylan anxiously after entering the Pokémon Center.
“Huh? Little Candle was seriously injured, what happened?” Qiao Yilan looked up and was very confused. She knew the strength of Ling Yuan’s Tomb Dog, so how could it suddenly be seriously injured?
“I just fought with Sister Nazhi and was seriously injured by her. Sister Lan, please help me,” Ling Yuan did not have time to explain too much and asked Qiao Yilan to help treat the Tomb Dog.
“I understand. Leave him to me and you wait outside.” Qiao Yilan knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so she took the Poké Ball and walked towards the emergency room, leaving Lingyuan waiting outside alone.
Entering the emergency room, Joylan came to a large operating table, opened the Poké Ball, and looked at the scarred Hound in front of her, “Alas, Nancy, you’re too harsh on me. Poor child, just bear with it. Come out, Little Cloud,” Joylan gently stroked the Hound and opened the Poké Ball. “Happy,” a voice sounded, “Little Cloud, heal and recover,” “happy, happy,” the elf’s hands surged with green energy that was directly sprinkled on the Hound’s body. The Hound’s body was recovering at an incredible speed. The energy pressure of this elf was even greater than that of the Hound and Nancy’s Alakazam.
“It’s all my fault, Sister Nazzi. Do you mean to say that I’ve been slacking off? Have I become too proud of myself as a quasi-king at only ten years old?” Ling Yuan was sitting outside the clinic, reflecting on himself. After Xiaozhu became a quasi-king, he had devoted himself to systematic research and collecting panic energy. His dull life also made him neglect the training plan for the Pokémons, resulting in slow growth in the strength of GraveHound and Haunter. This failure was a heavy blow to him.
At this time, Lingyuan’s shadow surged, and Gengar appeared, all comforting Lingyuan. Even the three funny brothers began to perform their talk show, hoping that Lingyuan could be happy.
“I’m fine, just a little emotional. Boss, second brother, third brother, Haunter, we have to work hard, especially you, Haunter. You have the best talent. I will be very strict with you in the future,” Ling Yuan said to the Gengars.

After reading the information of Gengar and the others in front of him, Ling Yuan made up his mind that he could not slack off this time. Since he became a gym leader, he would become the strongest gym leader. Ling Yuan’s eyes became sharp. Being with the ghost type for a long time did not mean nothing. He was still as fierce as he should be, but it was not shown normally.
[Ding Dong, the host has finally made up his mind and started to fight for strength. The system provides a task plug-in that requires 500,000 energy to upgrade! ]“What, upgrade? The system has upgrades, and why don’t you just go and rob? 500,000, I’ve been collecting for so long and only got a little over 530,000,” Ling Yuan complained in his heart as he looked at the virtual screen in front of him. His heart was bleeding, it was like we were going back to the days before liberation.
After gritting his teeth, he did it. At worst, he would give up the reputation of the newly opened haunted house. He took out the technology that he had kept in the bottom of the box and decisively selected the confirmation button. [This upgrade took a total of three hours, so please stay tuned! ]Two hours later, the emergency room opened and Joylan and Tomb Dog walked out.
When the Tomb Dog saw Ling Yuan, it rushed over directly, pressed Ling Yuan under its body, and kept rubbing Ling Yuan, “That’s great, Little Candle, you’re okay.” Ling Yuan was very happy looking at the intact Tomb Dog in front of him, and also sighed that the Joey family’s healing technology was so amazing that such a serious injury was fully recovered in just a few hours.
“Sister Lan, thank you,” Ling Yuan bowed to thank Qiao Yilan.
“Xiao Shi, you must not be so reckless in the future. I don’t know what you are thinking when you challenge Nazi,” Qiao Yilan lectured Ling Yuan.
“I didn’t want to do that either. It was Sister Nazi who asked me to go see her yesterday. I think Sister Nazi wanted to give me a warning before I leave Golden City,” Ling Yuan replied.
“Huh? Leaving, where are you going?” Qiao Yilan asked puzzledly.
“These are the two letters from yesterday. I need to develop in the Dark City and will leave the Golden City today,” Ling Yuan and Qiao Yilan explained and said goodbye.
“Is that so? Then you better work hard. I’m rooting for you,” Qiao Yilan also sent her blessings.
“By the way, the cost of treatment,” Ling Yuan just remembered the issue of treatment costs. The treatment of a quasi-king is very expensive.
“No need, just think of it as a farewell gift from your sister,” Qiao Yilan said indifferently.
“Thank you, sister. I’ll come back to see you when I have time in the future,” Ling Yuan said goodbye to Qiao Yilan happily.
Not long after Ling Yuan left, Qiao Yilan looked in the direction where Ling Yuan left and said, “Brother Xiaoyuan, we will meet soon,” and continued her daily work today.
[Ding Dong, system upgrade completed, host, please check the task]Ling Yuan looked at the upgraded system and saw that there was only one unfinished task in the taskbar, so he immediately clicked it to check.
[Mission Name: Ghost in the Sewer][Mission details: Black Cloud City suffers from severe smog every day. When night falls, strange noises are always heard from the sewers. Some people even see dark shadows flash by and flee into the sewers….][Quest requirements: Go to Heiyun City and subdue the ghost in the sewer. ][Mission Difficulty: General][Task Reward: Unlock the Haunted House Horror Scene Death Field + Puppet Making Technology]Looking at the mission description, Black Cloud City, Ghost, it should be a ghost-type Pokémon causing trouble, and the rewards are horror scenes and puppet making technology.
Many terrifying characters from Ling Yuan’s previous life emerged in his mind. He should be able to recover this time.
Looking at the map, I decided to go to Black Cloud City first and then to Dark City. I bought a ticket to Black Cloud City, watched the city slowly pass by in front of me, and slowly left Golden City.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 7: Arriving at Black Cloud City (Old Version)
Elf: I Open a Haunted House at Home: Chapter 7: Arriving in Black Cloud City
Kurokumo City is a very developed industrial city. As an important industrial development area in the Kanto region, it provides a large number of jobs. However, due to long-term industrial development and the lack of reasonable planning in the early stages of development, the industrial industry has become too concentrated, and a large amount of exhaust gas has polluted the sky, rivers, and the land. Now Kurokumo City suffers from smog all year round, and a large number of Pokémon have been relocated to live in other places. Now the remaining ones are mainly the Mud Clan and some electric Pokémon living in tidal power plants.
When Ling Yuan’s bus entered Heiyun City, one could see that the entire sky was covered with dark clouds. The visibility of the smog was no more than 10 meters. The entire street was very deserted, with only workers wearing masks going to work in the factory.
The moment Ling Yuan got off the car, a pungent smell came, “Boss, hurry up and bring me my gas mask,” Ling Yuan hurriedly asked Geng Gui to take out the gas mask hidden in his stomach. Geng Gui searched around in his stomach and finally found it in the corner. He took out the gas mask and handed it to Ling Yuan.
“Thank you, boss,” Putting on the gas mask, Ling Yuan felt like he was alive again. He took the Gengars to the Pokémon Center to see if he could get the information he needed.
Ding Dong, we entered the Pokémon Center. It was very deserted, with no trainers. “Hello, Miss Joy, I want to check in.”
Tired Miss Joy glanced at Ling Yuan and said, “Okay, give me your identity card.” Ling Yuan handed the identity card to Miss Joy.
“Ms. Joy, what’s wrong with you? You look very tired,” Ling Yuan looked at Miss Joy with concern.
“Oh, I don’t know what’s going on recently. The power plant often loses power, and a black shadow appears inexplicably inside, causing many workers to lose their energy. Then, I don’t know what happened, but the electric Pokémon also showed symptoms of fatigue. They were sent to the Pokémon Center one after another, and each one had to be checked, but they didn’t have any symptoms, just fatigue. It’s only been a few days since they were sent back, and they’re back again. I’ve also been staying up all night for several days,” Miss Joy complained to Ling Yuan while checking in. Maybe she was too depressed and needed to find some relief.
“Black shadow? What kind of black shadow is it?” Ling Yuan didn’t expect that a clue would appear so soon.
“I don’t know. Some say Sombra has no entity, some say Sombra looks like Meowth, but they have one thing in common, which is that they like to run into sewer pipes. The power plant also hired a trainer to deal with it, but Sombra is very fast and always attacks when the power goes out, so we can’t catch any trace of it at all,” Miss Joy returned the identity certificate to Ling Yuan and continued to take a nap on the table.
Lingyuan, left the Pokémon Center, opened the map and looked at the route to the tidal power plant.
The tidal power plant is the largest power plant in the entire Kanto area. The power plant has a huge chimney that reaches into the sky. If the seawater inlet is blocked, thermal power can be used to generate electricity to ensure industrial production. This is also one of the important reasons why Black Cloud City has become filled with black clouds. Looking at the towering chimney, Ling Yuan recalled the bad memories of his previous life.
Ling Yuan came to the factory gate and said, “Please stop. This is a restricted area of ​​the factory. No outsiders are allowed to pass!” The guard stopped him.
“I’m a candidate for the Alliance’s gym leader. I heard about the shadow in the factory and I need to talk to your person in charge,” Ling Yuan directly showed the Alliance’s gym leader invitation letter, which is also a symbol of strength. Without strength, the Alliance will not issue an invitation.
After confirming the authenticity, the guard called his superior directly to report. A middle-aged man hurried to the door to greet Ling Yuan.
When Ling Yuan arrived at the conference room, he knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was the director of the power plant. He had been very busy recently because of the problems with Black Shadow and the employees’ strike, and had lost a lot of hair. When he heard that there was a gym candidate coming to deal with Black Shadow’s affairs, he was very excited and trotted to the door to greet Ling Yuan.
“Mr. Lingyuan, thank you for coming to handle this. But considering your age, I wonder if we can test your strength. In the past few days, many trainers have accepted the commission, but they always return empty-handed. We are scared.” The factory manager wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Of course it’s no problem, little candle,” Ling Yuan also understood the other party’s concerns, after all, his age was there. With a shout, the 2-meter-tall Tomb Raider appeared behind Ling Yuan, and the pressure was controlled in the conference room, which scared the factory director and his secretary. Feeling the pressure from the dog Pokémon opposite, the factory director also realized that he had encountered a true genius.
“Mr. Lingyuan, you are really promising at a young age. No wonder the Alliance has invited you to become a local museum owner.” When the pressure from the Tomb Dog faded, the factory director was the first to compliment Lingyuan.
“No, no, I still have a lot to learn. I wonder if the factory director could tell me about the black shadow,” he ignored the factory director’s politeness and went straight to the point.
“No problem, no problem. It all started a month ago. One day, for some reason, employees started asking for leave one after another, saying they were not feeling well and needed to go home to rest. We didn’t take it too seriously at first, but when the number of employees exceeded 20, things started to get unusual. Later, the electric Pokémon also began to show symptoms of fatigue, like Magnemite and Magnemite 3. We sent them to the Pokémon Center for examination, but they couldn’t find any problems, just fatigue. Just two weeks ago, the situation got worse and worse, and the number of fatigued Pokémon and workers kept increasing, so I had to issue a commission and ask the trainers to handle it,” the factory manager said with fatigue in his tone. He must have been scared.
“Later, some trainers came. Ordinary trainers had no way to deal with it. Their Pokémon also had fatigue problems after the sudden power outage. Then an elite trainer came and finally found the problem. At the moment the power outage, he used his Dragonite to use Flash to see the black shadow, but the opponent was too fast. When they chased after it, they saw the opponent went straight into the sewer and disappeared. This was the case several times afterwards. Trainers outside also began to spread the legend of the black shadow in the sewer. The elite trainer stayed for a week without any progress and left.” After saying this, the factory manager leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his temples with his hands.
“I understand. Do you know when the black shadow usually appears? Have you found out the reason for the power outage?” Ling Yuan asked after listening.
“Alas, because a large number of employees are on break, the investigation is now progressing very slowly. We still don’t know where the problem that caused the power outage lies. Moreover, every power outage will cause disasters to the workers and Pokémon. Now only the minimum number of people left in the factory to keep it running.” The factory manager replied.
“What about the pattern of power outages? Is there anything special?” Ling Yuan continued to ask.
“Special, let me think about it,” the factory director fell into deep thought, but it was the female secretary next to him who reacted, “Factory director, do you still remember what I told you a few days ago?
The factory manager looked at the female secretary, “You mean the thing that every time there is a power outage, it stinks,” the factory manager recalled and said uncertainly.
“Yes, although the smell is usually very strong, but every time there is a power outage I can smell that the odor is several times stronger than usual,” the female secretary replied with lingering fear.
“Tell me in detail what happened,” Ling Yuan raised his eyebrows.
The female secretary looked at the factory director, who pondered for a moment and nodded. The female secretary then began to explain the situation. Because the environment in Heiyun City was usually so bad, she would spray perfume to relieve the torture of her nose, so she was very sensitive to smells. Once when there was a power outage, she was suddenly hit by a very strong odor and she was almost suffocated. After that, she found that the odor was increasing with each power outage. She reported this to the factory director, but nothing was done about it, so she didn’t care.
Ling Yuan and the factory manager fell silent. “Why didn’t you tell me that the odor was getting worse?” The factory manager looked at the secretary angrily. “I, I just thought it was an illusion. Later, more and more workers asked for leave, and I was too busy at work to remember about it,” the female secretary replied timidly.
“Okay, okay, it’s not too late to know now. Madam, do you know the approximate time of each power outage?” Ling Yuan acted as a peacemaker and then asked the female secretary.
“It usually happens in the evening or morning. The time is not fixed, but it always happens not long after work starts,” the female secretary replied after checking the records.
“I roughly understand it. I want to confirm again that all the workers and Pokémon are not in danger of life,” Ling Yuan asked the factory manager.
“No, no, it’s all fatigue and lack of energy. This has been confirmed by the doctor and the Pokémon Center,” the factory manager replied hastily.
“Okay, I will come here again tonight before you start work and stay with you all night. Is that a problem?” Ling Yuan asked the factory director.
“Do you know what happened?” The factory director looked at Ling Yuan in surprise.
“I roughly guessed what happened, but I’m not sure. I need evidence and personal experience before I can answer you,” Ling Yuan replied.
“Then I’ll leave it to you. If I can resolve this issue, I will report it to the alliance and ask for credit for you.” The factory director stood up and held Ling Yuan’s hand and asked for help.
“I’ll go back to the Pokémon Center to get ready. See you tonight.”
Ling Yuan was sent out of the power plant by the factory director and the female secretary. When Ling Yuan returned to the Pokémon Center and looked at the task on the screen again, he always felt that this task was not simple and there were many doubts that he had not figured out. However, he decided to rest first and prepare for the task in the evening.
Chapter 8: The Ghost’s True Identity (Old Version)
When Lingyuan woke up again, I checked the time and found that it was already evening. I woke up Xiaozhu and the others, had dinner at the Pokémon Center, and immediately set off for the power plant. When Lingyuan arrived at the power plant, the guard directly informed his superior. This time he was received by a female secretary, who said that the factory director had been called over by the city leaders and she would be the one to receive him this time. Lingyuan was very confused about this.
“Did your factory manager say why he needed to leave?” Ling Yuan looked at the female secretary.
“Well, I think it might be because of the frequent power outages recently, which has affected many factories. I hope you can handle this matter and get the factories back to normal,” the female secretary replied a little uncertainly.
“I understand. Take me to the place where the black shadow appeared first,” Ling Yuan did not ask any further questions, but kept the matter in his heart.
The female secretary brought Ling Yuan to the employee operation room, where there were many sophisticated instruments. The large screen showed the control images of the entire factory. Several staff members were busy. Ling Yuan looked at the scene in front of him and stepped on the floor with his heels when the female secretary was not paying attention. A black shadow quickly left Ling Yuan’s shadow and merged with the shadow of the instrument next to him.
“Take me to the place where the electric Pokémon had an accident,” he said to the female secretary after looking for a while.
“Is that so? Please follow me,” the female secretary was very confused. It would be fine if she just watched for a while, but she still had to obey the factory director’s orders.
The female secretary brought Ling Yuan to the top floor of the power plant. When they entered, they could see a large number of Pokémon, including Magnemite, Magnemite 3, Slither, and even a few Raichu.
“This is the Pokémon’s workplace. Its main responsibility is to provide bioelectricity. The factory’s tidal energy and thermal power generation serve as the main industrial power supply sources. According to the alliance’s regulations, excess electricity will be absorbed by Pokémon or reused to supply electricity to residents in Black Cloud City,” the female secretary continued to explain to Ling Yuan.
However, Ling Yuan also discovered a problem. These Pokémon were very tired, and he found that the electricity had not been subdued, but was transmitted directly to the Pokémon through a huge device. The Pokémon then converted it into bioelectricity and entered the battery storage interface. This was unreasonable.
As electric Pokémon become stronger, they can directly absorb high-voltage currents to replenish themselves, or they have the characteristics of power storage and lightning rods to have a certain immunity. The Pokémon in front of us are only a little over level 35 at most, and there is no way they can store electricity in their bodies for a long time, which can easily lead to electric overload reactions, that is, heat colds, just like Ash’s Pikachu who was forcibly injected with electric current by Team Rocket.
However, seeing the secretary’s usual reaction, “Madam, are you a trainer?” Ling Yuan suddenly asked.
“Ah, me? Not really. I majored in electrical engineering and rarely came into contact with Pokémon,” the secretary replied.
“I understand,” Ling Yuan tapped his heel when the other party wasn’t paying attention, and a black shadow entered the shadow of Lei Qiu.
“Lei, Lei Lei,” Lei Qiu suddenly looked at his own shadow and found nothing, so he continued this torturous work, hoping to finish it quickly and get enough electricity to share with his little nephew.
Ling Yuan and the female secretary checked all the places where the black shadow had appeared, and then they returned to the conference room. The female secretary got a bottle of water for Ling Yuan, and then went to do her own thing, leaving Ling Yuan alone in the conference room.
Time is passing slowly, and the official start time is approaching.
Ling Yuan closed his eyes and sorted out the information he had obtained, the factory director’s strange reaction, the unscientific treatment of electric Pokémon, the sense of incongruity, and the fact that the target this time was a ghost-type Pokémon, and the employees and Pokémon had all been deprived of their energy, strength, stamina, and electricity. At this time, Ling Yuan opened his eyes, and I discovered the details he had missed. Some people said that the black shadow looked like Meowth, and according to what the secretary said, the place where it appeared was where the electric Pokémon had an accident. Humans whose energy was taken away disappeared directly into the sewer. This is a ghost-type Pokémon.
So the shadow is not one Pokémon, but two, or more than two Pokémon. At the same time, they are all stuck when the power goes out.
Ling Yuan figured this out and did not drink the water in front of him. He looked around and saw a ray of reflection in the corner. Ling Yuan’s mouth curled up slightly. He finally knew where the sense of incongruity came from.
Ling Yuan didn’t bother about it anymore and just closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the time to come.
Ding-a-ling, the sound of the factory starting work came. Ling Yuan was about to go out, and saw the factory director coming here in a hurry. He looked a little tired, “I’m sorry, I’m very sorry, Mr. Ling Yuan, I’m late,” the factory director apologized to Ling Yuan. Ling Yuan waved to the factory director indifferently, and then they came to the employees’ operation room together.
Less than 15 minutes later, the power went out and it was pitch black all around. “Help!” An employee’s voice suddenly came, and Ling Yuan ran over immediately.
“Little candles, will-o’-the-wisp,” in an instant, will-o’-the-wisp rose up and illuminated the entire operating room. A black shadow ran towards the door at an extremely fast speed, “Boss, Shadow Claw.” Just as the black shadow was about to leave the room, a Gengar jumped out from the shadow, and the Shadow Claw grabbed the black shadow directly. At this time, the black shadow’s eyes flashed red, and a wood energy flashed, directly knocking Gengar away. Bang, Gengar hit the wall.
This is a wooden hammer. Looking at this familiar move, he already knows the true form of this Pokémon. “Little Candle, Lurking Surprise Attack.” Graveyard appears above the shadow and uses ghost energy to attach to its claws to hold the shadow down. Only then does Lingyuan approach and see that this is a Mimikyu, and it is a shiny Mimikyu. The outer puppet is light-colored, which is easier to hide in the dark. “Ka-ka-ka” Mimikyu reveals its shadow claws and tries to move the claws on her, but it doesn’t work. Gengar returns to Lingyuan and looks at Mimikyu with lingering fear, thinking to himself where this crazy woman came from, it hurts so much when she hits people.
Genie: MimiK-Q (Flash)
Attributes: Ghost + Fairy
Features: Painted Skin
Level: 54 (Mid-Gym)
Level skills: grab, scare, mallet, round pupils, mimic, shadow claws, playfulness, split.
This is a Mimikyuu with excellent talent. No wonder the previous trainers could not do anything with her. She is already in the middle gym stage, and is not something that ordinary elite trainers can deal with. “Little Candle, stun her,” Graveyard directly uses ghost energy to stun Mimikyuu. This is the difference between quasi-Elite Pokémon and ordinary Pokémon. After mastering the secrets, they can directly mobilize energy to perform subtle operations, while ordinary Pokémon are open and close, wasting a lot of energy on moves.
Ling Yuan captured her with the Ultra Ball he carried with him. He picked up the Poké Ball and found that the task on the virtual screen had not been completed, which further confirmed his guess. When the factory manager saw that the rebellious Pokémon had been captured, he came over to thank Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan did not stay, exchanged pleasantries with the factory manager, and then left the power plant directly. He was going to look for external assistance.
After returning to the Pokémon Center and confirming that no one was monitoring him, Ling Yuan took out his phone and started making calls.
“Hey, Xiao Yuan, where have you been? Didn’t I ask you to leave for Dark City immediately?” Hearing the old man’s voice, Ling Yuan shuddered subconsciously.
“Grandma, something has delayed me. I heard about the legend of a black shadow in Heiyun City, so I came to take a look,” Ling Yuan said shamelessly and coquettishly.
“Hmph, what black shadow legend? I think you just don’t want to be a gym owner!” Kikuko said a little angrily.
“No, no, no, grandma, the legend of Sombra is real. I have already captured it. It’s a Shiny Mimikyu. Its strength is already at the mid-level of the gym. It even knocked the boss away with a mallet,” Gengar jumped out and accused Ling Yuan of demolishing his own plans.
“Oh, Shiny Mimikyu, that’s interesting. Now that you’ve captured it, hurry to Dark City,” Kikuko’s tone returned to normal.
“But, grandma, things are far from over…” Then Lingyuan told Kikuko about his discovery and conjecture, and Kikuko was furious after hearing it.
“I knew that this power plant would have an accident. When it was being built, that old man Ohki raised his objections. As a result, those councillors said that it must be rectified on the grounds of development. Haha, is it because I can’t lift the knife anymore? They are so perfunctory!” Although Kikuko’s tone was very calm, as a child who grew up with Kikuko, he knew that when his grandmother was angry, someone was going to be in big trouble!
Chapter 9: Be My Elf (Old Version)
“Huh, it’s really scary when grandma is angry. Someone is going to be in trouble. You’re the next one. Use the little candle to seal the room,” Ling Yuan hung up the phone, took out the Mimikyu’s Poké Ball, and spoke to the air. At this time, ghost energy covered the entire room.
“Come out, Mimikyu,” Ling Yuan directly released Mimikyu.
As soon as Mini Q came out, he threw a wooden hammer at Ling Yuan, but it was blocked by ghost energy. Little Candle revealed his figure. Mimic Q felt the opponent’s terrifying momentum and did not dare to act rashly for a while, and both sides fell into silence.
“You want to drive away innocent people, right? This is a revenge against the power plant, right?” Ling Yuan said slowly when he saw that the other party had calmed down.
Mimikyuu suddenly looked up, staring at Ling Yuan with her scary red eyes. This human was the first person to guess her intention. She also heard the conversation just now, made up her mind, and nodded slowly.
“Alas, why are human beings committing so many sins!” Ling Yuan rubbed his temple. “Tell me your story.” Although Ling Yuan guessed that this was a personal grudge to take revenge on the tidal power plant, he didn’t know what happened specifically.
Following Mimikyu’s narration and the boss’s performance translation, he roughly figured out the context of the whole thing. This Mimikyu was not a naturally born Mimikyu. She was a female Pikachu before. She came to the tidal power plant two years ago.
When the tidal power plant was being built, many trainers raised objections to it because of the foreseeable pollution problems, especially Professor Oak, who had a special status. He was not only a registered professor of the League, but also the former champion of the Kanto League. Even Grandma Kikuko once said that she could not beat the current Professor Oak. So in order to take care of Professor Oak’s feelings and to make the power plant project a success, the League came up with a compromise and proposed the Pokémon power generation project, using Pokémon to help generate electricity to provide electricity for residents of Black Cloud City, and to expand this project in the future so that it could replace thermal and tidal power generation.
However, the owner of the tidal power plant does not want to use such a time-consuming and costly solution. On the surface, he maintains the Pokémon power generation project, but in fact he uses unscientific charging methods and teams up with Pokémon hunters to treat electric Pokémon as consumables.
This Pikachu was poached. After coming to this project, it lived a life in dire straits every day, because Pikachu’s electric sac could not store such a high voltage. At this time, a Pokémon stood up to help it. It was a male Lucky Cat who was also poached. Every time he helped Pikachu absorb the excess electricity. Later they fell in love. Not long after, Pikachu became pregnant. Lucky Cat didn’t want his lover and child to go through such a thing again, so one night he ran away with his lover, and their eggs were given to Pikachu’s brother, a Raichu, to help take care of.
They were gambling, hoping for a glimmer of hope, because they knew this operation might be disastrous. Not long after they escaped, they were caught up by Pokémon hunters hired by the former factory manager. Facing the oncoming Houndoom, Lukecat told his lover to leave quickly. One Pokémon fought against three Houndooms, and the ending was self-evident. He was torn into pieces in front of Pikachu. Pikachu fell into despair. She cursed, cursed the world, why did she have to go through all this, she used all her electricity to use her electric ultimate move, Volt Attack, and died together with the three Houndooms.
When she woke up again, she didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a curse from the world. She turned into a Mimikyu, and her level was very high after absorbing all the death energy. She was already an elite Pokémon at that time. She came to the place of death again and found the remaining body of her lover. Her body had been blown up along with the three Houndooms. She hugged her lover’s head and cried, and finally buried her lover under a big tree nearby. After burying her lover, Mimikyu turned her attention to the power plant. She wanted revenge and she wanted to destroy the power plant.
When she came to the power plant again, she sneaked into the power plant and met Raichu. At that time, Raichu was holding the elf egg tightly, fearing that it would be hurt. Mimikyu looked at her egg, and the flame of revenge was temporarily extinguished. As a mother, she must protect her child. She proved herself to Raichu and told him her ending. Raichu was furious when he heard it, and wanted to fight with the humans in the power plant.
Mimikyu stopped him and wanted to take the egg away. When it grew up, she would die along with the power plant.
Later, the Pokémon egg hatched, and it was a cat monster (the offspring of Pokémon do not necessarily follow the maternal lineage). As the cat monster grew up, he asked his mother about his father, because the Pokémon nearby all had parents, but he only had his mother, and she looked different from his mother. Faced with the child’s repeated requests, Mimikyu still softened her heart and told the cat monster everything that happened. The cat monster couldn’t believe that these were true, and couldn’t believe the pain his mother had to bear. He also wanted revenge, he wanted to rescue those Pokémon, he wanted to help them, maybe it was the innate sense of justice of the Kinron family.
Mimikki disagreed, so he ran away from home for the first time. When he appeared in front of Mimikki again, he was already a lecher cat. Mimikki saw her son again, rushed over and hugged him, afraid of losing him again, she had nothing left.
Lukemao once again proposed to MimiQ to join the revenge, and MimiQ agreed because he was afraid that his son would run away from home again.
The time went back to a month ago. They came to the vicinity of the power plant, defeated the leader of the Mud Clan, and took away the command of the Mud Clan. Whenever the tidal power plant started tidal power generation, they would block the water outlet, causing the motor to overload and cause a power outage. Then Mimikyu and LuckyCat entered, sucking away the energy of humans and the excess power of Pokémon, allowing them to temporarily leave the power plant. When the number of people in the power plant was reduced to the minimum, that is, when the general attack was launched, the other Pokémon who remained in the power plant were all accomplices, and they would cause chaos when the general attack was launched. This was the whole story of the entire sewer shadow.
After listening to MimiKami’s story, all the people and elves present fell silent. This was not helplessness, but the calm before the storm. Whether it was Graveyard or Gengar, they were all angry. As long as Lingyuan gave the order, they would start a killing spree.
Ling Yuan’s heart was also rising with anger, his eyes revealed murderous intent, and the ferocity that had been accumulated in his heart began to unlock. He looked at Mimi Q, “Be my elf, I will take you to revenge,” Ling Yuan looked at Mimi Q and said solemnly.
As a ghost-type Pokémon, Mimikyu can feel human emotions. When she found out that the other party did not lie to her, Mimikyu made a decision, “Kakakaka (If you help me get revenge, my life will be yours)” Mimikyu looked at Lingyuan, and Lingyuan understood what she meant.
He placed all the Poké Balls in front of her, and she tapped the stick into one of them, then called Kikuko again.
“Hey, Xiao Yuan, what’s wrong? Why are you calling again?” Kikuko was very surprised why her beloved grandson called again.
“Grandma, I’m going to go on a killing spree!” Xiao Yuan said gloomily.
“Huh? What’s wrong?” Kikuko raised her eyebrows when she heard it.
Afterwards, he retold the story of Mimikyu to Kikuko.
“Xiao Yuan, do whatever you want. Don’t worry about Junsha. Remember to find evidence. I will handle the rest,” Kikuko instructed Ling Yuan and hung up the phone.
Just then, boom! A huge explosion sounded in the distance!
Chapter 10: Lingyuan vs Hunter Z (Old Version)
Boom! The huge flames dyed the sky red, and the whole city began to fall into chaos. Ling Yuan looked through the window of the Pokémon Center towards the tidal power plant. Ling Yuan knew that his capture of Mimikyu was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
At this time, Mimikyu also came out of the Poké Ball. She was very anxious and worried about the safety of her brother, son and other companions.
“Let’s take action too. Boss, give me the equipment,” Ling Yuan turned around and asked Gengar, “Geng Ga, Geng Ga” This time Gengar took out the equipment from his stomach very accurately. Ling Yuan put on the equipment. The other Pokémon entered Ling Yuan’s shadow, leaving only the small candle outside.
“Little Candle, prepare for battle, this time we’re serious,” Lingyuan rode on the back of the Graveyard and put on a special mask. “Woof woof woof,” Little Candle’s body was filled with ghost energy, and then Lingyuan and Graveyard disappeared into the room of the Pokémon Center.
The scene turns to the fire scene, which is extremely chaotic, with sparks and external electric currents everywhere, broken walls caused by the explosion, and even people’s arms exposed outside the ruins.
The elves and humans inside have been fighting each other. The army of muds are using mud attacks to bombard the humans at the same time. The humans in combat uniforms are commanding a large number of Houndooms for defense. Other electric Pokémon are dealing with scattered Houndooms. You can see that one of the Lukecats is very brave. He scratched the eyes of several Houndooms with his sharp claws. The other electric Pokémon behind him directly work together to discharge electricity to attack the lone Houndoom.
“How did you do it? How did you let them detonate the power plant? Do you know how much trouble this will cause?” The man in a well-fitting suit was directing a junior gym Nidoking to attack the crazy electric Pokémon.
“Do you think I want to? These electric Pokémon are all crazy. Now I regret taking this business from you,” the middle-aged man in combat uniform looked at the fearless electric Pokémon in front of him and was speechless. He just came to deliver some goods, how could he encounter such a thing.
“I don’t care, you just get rid of them for me, otherwise I’m done, and you’re done too,” the man in the suit began to become hysterical. The explosion at the power plant had broken the strings in his heart. He didn’t dare to imagine how the families behind him would deal with him if they knew about this.
“Okay, I’ll get rid of these beasts, give me ten times the reward,” the middle-aged man took the opportunity to ask for a huge reward.
“You, you are cruel. Fine, ten times is ten times. Get rid of them all quickly,” the man in the suit compromised helplessly.
“Hahaha, okay, you said it, come out, Houndoom, it’s time to make money,” the middle-aged man took off the Poké Ball on his chest and released the Pokémon inside. This was also a Houndoom. Ordinary Houndooms are 1.4 meters tall, but this one is only 1.8 meters tall. If other Houndooms are wolf cubs, this one is the wolf king.
“Roar!” Houndoom used a roar, and the electric-type Pokémon on the opposite side were instantly suppressed by the sonic energy, and many were even knocked over. The electric-type Pokémon were oppressed by the evil energy and could not move. They looked at the ferocious beast in front of them in horror. The Mud Clan also gathered together and were ready to run away at any time.
The middle-aged man looked at the elves in front of him with arrogance, thinking about how to deal with them, or sell them so that he could make some extra money. But at this moment, he saw a look that made him very unhappy. A Leke cat was staring at the other party, and even though it was suppressed by the energy of the quasi-king and could not move, it still stared at the murderer in front of it who killed his parents.
“I hate the look in your eyes,” the middle-aged man walked in front of Lukecat and stepped on his head.
When the middle-aged man was about to let Houndoom kill the Lek cat, a shadow claw slammed towards his chest. However, Houndoom was faster and moved at high speed to blast the cat away with one claw. The middle-aged man was held in Houndoom’s mouth and escaped. “Who dares to attack your Grandpa Z?”
When he stood up again, he saw that it was a Shiny Mimikyu that was knocked away, and the Lukecat lost its control due to Houndoom’s distraction and rushed towards Mimikyu, rubbing against it with tears in its eyes, while Mini Q stroked its head with its Shadow Claws.
“Shiny Mimikyu, you are blessed by Arceus. This is an excellent product. It’s mine, it belongs to me.” The middle-aged man was so excited when he saw Mimikyu that he completely forgot that the other party just wanted to kill him.
“Goro Kayano, he was a bounty hunter at first. His trump card was a quasi-king mid-level Houndoom. He had a special liking for Houndoom and often carried a large number of Houndoom troops. He was wanted for participating in the poaching of Bangilas in Silver Mountain. Later, he joined the Alphabet Poaching Organization and was given the title Hunter Z,” a voice sounded from all around, explaining the true identity of the middle-aged man in front of him.
“Whoever is playing tricks, come out,” Hunter Z looked around and shouted.
A young figure appeared next to Mimikyu and sprayed medicine on Mimikyu and Leke Cat.
“It turns out to be a little kid. Little kid, this is not the place for you. Go home and drink your milk,” Hunter Z looked at the boy opposite him with contempt in his mouth, but he had actually begun to be secretly alert. The boy who could appear in front of him so leisurely was definitely not an ordinary person.
“Really? I wanted to borrow something from you before I go back,” he said, letting Luckycat leave with the electric Pokémon, then turned to look at the other party and replied with a half-smile.
“Oh, what is that?” Hunter Z was a little surprised.
“Your life!” Ling Yuan looked at the other party with murderous eyes.
“Kid, you’re 200 years too early to kill me. Houndoom sprays flames,” a pillar of fire rushed directly towards Lingyuan. At this time, a shadow ball hit the pillar of fire directly, causing an explosion. The smoke dissipated and the Tomb Dog stood beside Lingyuan, staring at Houndoom opposite him, with ghost energy surging on his body.
“Oh, what kind of Pokémon is this, a mid-level Quasi-King. Is this what you rely on, kid?” Hunter Z’s vigilance was already at its highest level. He had never heard of such a young mid-level Quasi-King, let alone seen one.
“Yeah, they should all have left, and it’s time for our battle to begin,” Ling Yuan realized that the other Pokémon had already left for some distance, so he prepared to fight with all his strength.
“Little Candle, Song of the Cursed Spirit,” Ling Yuan gave an order, and the Tomb Dog opened its mouth wide to transmit sound waves. Purple ripples began to spread, and the ordinary Hound was hit by the ripples and had its strength drained directly.
“Damn it, the King’s Secret Move, what a psycho, who uses the ultimate move at the beginning,” Hunter Z was not affected as he was protected by the dark energy, but he saw his other Houndoom lose its combat ability and complained in his heart.
“Heroga, Flame Attack,” Heroga directly used the ultimate move of the king, his body wrapped in a large amount of blue flames, and rushed towards the grave dog like a hellhound.
“Little candle, the coffin explodes,” Tomb Dog stopped singing and blasted away with an energy bomb that looked like a coffin. The collision of the purple and blue energies created a huge energy aura. Ling Yuan and Hunter Z also lay on the ground at the first moment to prevent themselves from being blown away by the shock wave.
Boom! A huge explosion, even bigger than the one at the power plant, made the already noisy Black Cloud City even more chaotic. Many people saw the energy leakage caused by the huge energy collision in the distance. The Pokémon that had just escaped were also shocked to see the power plant explode again, and they ran for their lives even faster. Mimikyu looked at a figure, his red eyes full of ferocity, and rushed straight in that direction, while Lukecat followed behind his mother.
When the explosion subsided, what came into view was a power plant that was even more dilapidated than before. It seemed that it had to be rebuilt. Hunter Z rushed out from the ruins, his body covered with scratches from the rubble. “Mad man, mad man, I have seen a madman crazier than that bitch J.” His heart was bleeding. In the explosion just now, many Houndooms could not survive. How much energy would it take for him to strengthen the legion?
In the distance, Houndoom and Gravehel have already started fighting. Both are dog Pokémon, and both are kings among dogs. Neither of them gives in. They use Flame Fang, Lightning Fang, Flame Jet, Night Shadow, high-speed movement, and sneak attacks. The two Pokémons fight back and forth, sometimes biting each other, sometimes colliding at speed, and even bombarding each other from a distance. It is difficult to tell the winner for the time being.
“Where’s that brat? He wouldn’t be killed in the explosion,” Hunter Z looked around. At this moment, a cold light flashed by. Hunter Z immediately raised his head to avoid the tip of the sword that cut across his throat. Then he saw clearly the long sword that almost took his life. A Gengar appeared from the shadows, and the hand stretched out from Gengar’s belly. The masked brat came out of Gengar’s belly without a single scratch on his body.
“Scary little ghost, was it hiding in Gengar’s stomach after the explosion just now?” Hunter Z was still frightened.
“Kid, who are you? What grudge do I have against you that requires a life-and-death duel?” Hunter Z really couldn’t understand. It was just delivering goods to an old customer, why were there so many troubles, and why did he inexplicably offend such a terrifying enemy.
“You forgot it,” Ling Yuan replied through the mask.
“What?” Hunter Z asked in confusion.
“Have you forgotten the Pikachu and Luckycat you killed before?” Ling Yuan stared at Hunter Z.
“What? Pikachu and Lukecat, wait, they’re the two beasts that caused me to lose three Houndooms last time,” Hunter Z finally remembered after being reminded.
“Oh, it’s good that you admit it. Please go on your way,” Ling Yuan felt relieved when he saw that the other party remembered.
“What do you mean, you?” Hunter Z was about to speak when he saw a ghost hand passing through his chest and grabbing his heart. He looked back and saw it was a Haunter.
“When?” Hunter Z fell to the ground, and his life ended there.
Looking at the dead Hunter Z in front of him, Ling Yuan felt no ripples in his heart. Instead, he focused on looking at the battlefield in the distance.
Chapter 11: Departure to Dark City (Old Version)
Boom! The battle between the two quasi-king Pokémon continues.
Houndoom had fire in his mouth and fire elements gathered in his limbs. He stared at his opponent. He had not fought such a fierce battle for many years. This was his first time fighting a life-and-death battle after becoming the king of the Houndoom Legion. The dog Pokémon on the opposite side was very dangerous. He could feel that his physical strength was slowly decreasing as time passed. The battle was too intense and he had no way to distract himself to use dark energy for defense.
At this moment, Houndoom suddenly looked in the direction of Hunter Z, and the life breath of his master disappeared, but it was this turn of head that led to his end.
The moment Hound turned his head, Tomb Dog used Stealth Attack to get in front of Hound, and directly used his ultimate move, Ultimate Impact, and slammed into Hound. Hound had no time to react and was knocked away, with his ribs and forelimbs broken. At this moment, Tomb Dog used Bite, and bit Hound’s neck hard. Hound wanted to defend himself, but the sequelae of being knocked away by the Ultimate Impact made his reaction slow, and his neck was bitten by Tomb Dog, and the dog king died on the spot.
“Ouch!” GraveHound stepped on Hound’s corpse and howled in victory. This was the battle for the Dog King, and his momentum also broke through at this moment. The energy level that had not been broken through for half a year was successfully broken through at the end of this death match, and he was getting closer and closer to the late Quasi-King state. GraveHound looked at the corpse in front of him, and he could see something in his eyes that ordinary Pokémon could not see – the soul. He bit directly at Hound’s soul and turned the opponent’s soul into his own nourishment. The soul of a strong man of the same level is a great supplement for many ghost-type Pokémon. GraveHound is confident that he can enter the late Quasi-King state after digesting Hound’s soul, and he will help Lingyuan bring more victories.
As the battle between the quasi-kings ended, the roar also stopped. Ling Yuan could hear the sound of waves, the noise coming from the city, and the sirens getting closer and closer.
Ling Yuan turned his head and saw that the Tomb Dog had appeared behind him, holding the trophy in its mouth – the corpse of Houndaro.
“Little Candle, thank you for your hard work,” Ling Yuan stroked the head of the Tomb Dog and helped it comb out the messy white hair caused by the battle.
The Grave Dog threw Houndaro’s corpse aside and lay down to rest. Although the Grave Dog had absorbed a lot of Houndaro’s physical strength at the beginning of the battle, the intense battle still made it very tired.
Level: Level 65 (Energy digestion in progress)
Seeing that the energy level of the Gravehound had broken through due to the battle, Ling Yuan was very happy and turned to look at Haunter.
“Well done, second brother. Did you find the evidence?”
It turned out that the one who dealt the fatal blow to Hunter Z was the second of the three funny brothers. When Lingyuan visited the power plant, he hid directly in the shadow of Raichu and was sent by Lingyuan to collect evidence about the power plant. In the previous battle, he kept avoiding the aftermath of the battle. When Houndoom and Gravehel were fighting, he took the opportunity to hide in the shadow of Hunter Z. His hiding did not fool his eldest brother, who, through the eldest brother, allowed the second brother to deal the final blow to Hunter Z.
The second brother has the best technological talent among the three funny brothers. Ling Yuan usually teaches him how to use surveillance and how to open human safes, and most of the infiltration missions are handled by the second brother.
“Jeh, jeeh,” Haunter nodded, reached his hand into his mouth and rummaged around, then took out a file bag.
Ling Yuan did not mind the saliva on it. He shook it off and opened it to look at the document inside. This was the trading list, the transaction data sheet between Hunter Z and the former director of the tidal power plant and the current mayor of Black Cloud City, as well as many real bills. These should be the evidence that the second brother found in the trading room when the elves rioted. This can prove that the mayor has cooperated with the elf hunters. This means that the mayor has done his best and the investigators will not let him go.
“Haunter, did you record everything just now?” Ling Yuan looked up and shouted at the sky. At this time, Haunter flew down from the sky with a camera in his hand.
In fact, at the beginning, Lingyuan and Muyang Dog used the sneak attack and came to the power plant through the shadow channel. After observing the situation on the scene, Lingyuan took the camera out of the boss’s stomach (this was used to shoot promotional videos for the haunted house). After that, Haunter had been recording videos from high altitude, including the transaction between the mayor and Hunter Z, and the battle between Lingyuan and Hunter Z. This was used as evidence to show that he took action in order to encircle Hunter Z, and it was also an excuse for his grandmother.
Originally, Ling Yuan was planning to hide in the dark and launch a sneak attack on Hunter Z and the mayor, but when Mimic Q saw his son having his head stepped on by his enemy, he couldn’t help but attack directly. Ling Yuan had no choice but to show up and confront Hunter Z head-on.
Beep, beep, beep. At this time, the outside was surrounded by police. Junsha stood at the front, with several Katis beside her. They looked inside very vigilantly. The atmosphere inside made them feel very scared.
[Black Cloud City Pokémon Fear Value +200,000][Black Cloud Police Station Terror Value +20,000][Black Cloud City residents’ panic value +320,000]Ling Yuan looked at the screen in front of him and saw the panic value he gained from this action. A smile hung on his masked face. It was a huge gain. His blood was instantly restored. Although this action was very dangerous, the gains were still great.
“Listen, people inside, you are surrounded, surrender immediately,” Junsha shouted loudly with a loudspeaker in her hand.
Ling Yuan heard the voice coming from outside, “Come back, it’s time to escape,” and put all the things into Geng Gui’s stomach. Ling Yuan and Tomb Dog used the sneak attack to leave the scene. When the police officers entered, they only saw the bumpy ruins.
When they returned to the Pokémon Center, Ling Yuan took off his assassin equipment and threw it back to Gengar, “Little Candle, do you know where the Mimic Q is?”
“Woof woof woof” the Tomb Dog nodded. Before leaving, it had left a mark on Mimikyu-Nova and could still sense that it had not left too far.
“Then let’s go and pick up Mimi Q and her child.” Ling Yuan already knew that the target of this mission was Mimi Q and her child.
Ling Yuan and Muyang Dog set out from the Pokémon Center in a swagger, looking at the many people who were watching. Now the whole Black Cloud City was in a state of tension, with the sounds of patrolling police cars and fire trucks everywhere. Ling Yuan walked directly towards the suburbs.
When Ling Yuan came to the entrance of a cave, he saw the Leke cat guarding outside, “Little guy, where is your mother?”
Luke Cat recognized that the person in front of him was the one who saved him, and took him directly into the cave. It can be seen that Mimikyu and Raichu were surrounding a person, and the person being surrounded was the mayor of Black Cloud City who was present at the scene and the former director of the tidal power plant.
It turned out that MiM-Q went straight to the opponent when the opponent wanted to escape. Nidoking, who was in the early stage of the gym, was no match for MiM-Q under the command of this amateur trainer and was captured on the spot. MiM-Q originally wanted to kill him directly to vent his anger, but thinking of Ling Yuan’s instructions that there was a big fish behind him, he just knocked him out and took him away. That Nidoking was not so lucky and was killed on the spot by MiM-Q.
“Who are you? Did you plan all this? Do you know who I am? Do you know who you have offended?” The mayor had woken up and asked Ling Yuan directly when he saw him walk into the cave.
“So much nonsense, boss. Hypnosis,” Ling Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to this black-hearted businessman and directly asked Geng Gui to use hypnosis to serve him.
“I ask, you answer, do you hear me?” Ling Yuan saw that the hypnosis had worked and started collecting information directly.
“Who is behind you planning this action, and what is your deal?” Ling Yuan asked directly.
“Behind me are five councillors, xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx, and xxx. Every year I need to offer 1.5 billion Alliance Coins as protection fee so that I can become the mayor of Black Cloud City. Hunter Z was also introduced by councillor xxx,” the mayor answered truthfully.
“My goodness, five out of the 32 members of the alliance are involved in this. I wonder how many networks they have,” Ling Yuan was shocked when he heard this.
“Do you have any evidence of their illegal activities and the content of their transactions, as well as the dead Electric-type Pokémon? How did you deal with them?” Ling Yuan asked.
“I’m afraid they will liquidate me, so I have kept the transaction records of the past few years in the safe at home, and the environmental research reports that have been suppressed in the past few years are in the desk computer. I will hand them over to the senior investigator in exchange for protection after something happens. The dead electric Pokémon were taken by their families to be made into Pokémon props and raw materials for selling Pokémon food.” Hearing this, Ling Yuan was a little surprised. The man in front of him was also capable. If something happened, he would surrender himself. It would probably be a life sentence, but at least his life would be saved.
“Is there anything else you haven’t said?” Ling Yuan asked in the final words.
“I have the remaining 30 million in anonymous bank cards and new ID in my safe,” the mayor added.
“Mimic Q, he is yours. I will come to see you in the afternoon,” Ling Yuan left with the tomb dog. In the distance, he could still hear the mayor’s begging for mercy and his last scream.
After arriving at the mayor’s residence, Ling Yuan successfully obtained all the dirty information based on the information he obtained.
After doing all this, he went to the cave, captured the mother and son of Mimikyu, as well as four Raichus, bought a ticket to Dark City, and prepared to go directly to Dark City.
[Mission completed, waiting to unlock the haunted house horror scene Death Field, puppet making technology has been issued, this mission completion rate is 100%, triggering the first mission reward, Elf Candy +3, can increase the energy level below the King of Heaven]Ling Yuan had just finished learning the puppet-making technology and saw the system’s extra reward, the elf candy. Was it the elf candy he knew? Doesn’t this mean that when Xiao Zhuzhu reaches the late stage of Quasi-King, he can directly reach the peak of Quasi-King.
Ling Yuan was overjoyed and left Heiyun City on a bus with a happy mood.
Chapter 12: Arrival at Dark City (Old Version)
At noon the next day, Ling Yuan arrived at Dark City, a retro town located between the hunting zone and Honglian Town. It is at a straight-line distance from Qianhong City and Yuhong City. Due to its special geographical location, the Alliance hopes to carry out modern development. The main purpose is to use Dark City as an important transportation hub. The management of Dark City is also very happy with this decision, which also indicates that Dark City can get greater development in the future. However, as a future transportation hub, it must have sufficient military protection, which is also the reason why the Alliance added a Dark City gym.
The Alliance Gym Inspection Agency was very dissatisfied with the candidates sent by the Dark City, however, the local agency of the Dark City did not take proper confidentiality measures, resulting in the private gyms, Kaz Gym and Yas Gym, both thinking that the other was the reason why they could not become gym masters. As a result, the two private gyms often fought with each other, both stubbornly believing that as long as they defeated the other, they could increase their chances of becoming gym masters. This also indirectly caused the Dark City to be more depressed than before, and the local government and residents were anxious.
When Ling Yuan walked into the Dark City, he was stunned. The whole city was very depressed, with old houses, shabby windows, invisible figures, and even many construction sites that were forced to stop work. He couldn’t imagine that this was a city ready for future development. It felt almost like a ghost town.
When he and Luke Cat were walking on the street, observing the surroundings, suddenly several stones were thrown at him. Mimikyu in the Poké Ball immediately jumped out and used a shadow claw to knock the stones away. When she was about to kill the bad guys who attacked Lingyuan, Lingyuan called her, “Old Three, go over and use Licking Tongue.”
“Hehe, hehe, hehe,” Gastly rushed over and licked the three children directly.
“Ah, damn, help!” Seeing that the three children were about to fall, the eldest brother used his mental strength to catch them. At this time, a middle-aged man ran over and bowed to Ling Yuan to apologize.
“I’m really sorry, I’m really sorry, please forgive these children,” the father kept bowing and apologizing, and Ling Yuan did not pursue the matter.
“What’s going on here? Why is it so desolate?” Ling Yuan asked the middle-aged man in front of him.
“Please come with me. I’ll treat you to lunch as an apology,” the middle-aged man saw that it was almost noon and invited Ling Yuan to his restaurant.
After lunch, he began to introduce the situation here to Ling Yuan.
“Originally, our Dark City had already issued a notice half a year ago saying that it would be expanding. They said that the alliance wanted to carry out large-scale construction. We were very happy to hear that at the time. It meant that there would be more customers in the future and we would have more opportunities to make money. But everything changed after a collective citizens’ meeting,” the middle-aged man began to tell Ling Yuan the whole story.
“That meeting was held at the Dark City Square where the mayor invited all residents. It was announced on the spot that Dark City would suspend expansion as it was unable to determine the candidate for gym master. Before the staff had finished explaining the matter, the owners of the local private gyms, Kaz Gym and Yas Gym, started arguing, saying that the other’s existence caused them to lose the election for gym master. As a result, the quarrel became more and more fierce, and finally a fight broke out. The scene was in chaos, and they had group fights every few days after that,” the middle-aged man became more and more helpless.
“There were some trainers who wanted to stop them, but they were the strongest trainers in the local area. Many people were injured by them. Even their apprentices borrowed their power and started looting and smashing. We couldn’t do anything about it. The Dark City ended up in depression.” The middle-aged man was helpless after he finished speaking.
Ling Yuan was also shocked after hearing this, how could there be such a stupid person, can you become the Alliance Gym Leader just because you want to? It requires a lot of review, the reason why he got the invitation letter so easily was because his grandmother was behind it, you only have two private gyms in two places, and you still want to help the Alliance make decisions, how dare you!
After listening to this, Ling Yuan knew what kind of trouble his grandmother was talking about, and he estimated that it would also be one of his assessments as a gym leader.
After leaving the restaurant, he walked towards his title deed address and came to his new house, which was blocked by a huge curtain. He walked inside and could see the gym under construction. It was a building that looked like a small gymnasium with the Pokémon League logo on it. Next to it was a building that looked like a small castle, which was probably the haunted house that his grandmother said she would prepare for him. When he walked to the door of the gym, it opened automatically.
“Hello, Mr. Lingyuan, I am your butler Rotom, an intelligent butler provided by the Padiya Rotom Company,” Rotom’s portrait appeared on the screen in front of the door.
“Hello, Rotom, please introduce this venue to me,” Ling Yuan looked at the Rotom in front of him and was very curious because the Rotom mobile phone had not yet been released, but the Rotom tools were very advanced.
“Okay, this venue is divided into three parts: the haunted house, the gym, and the living area, with a total area of ​​3,782 square meters. According to the title deed, you also own the back mountain and the small lake next to it, but due to the alliance regulations, you must obtain the alliance-certified gym owner qualification before you can get all the usage rights,” Rotom gave a detailed introduction to all the venues. Ling Yuan can only use the castle and the living area.
Arriving at the living area, Ling Yuan opened all the Poké Balls on his body, and the Pokémon appeared in front of Ling Yuan, “This is our new home, you can look around, and if you don’t understand something, you can ask the nearby Rotom,” Ling Yuan introduced Rotom to everyone, and they all had a good impression of this ghost-type + electric-type Pokémon.
Seeing the Lukecats and Raichus laughing at the crosstalk of the three funny brothers, Ling Yuan went straight to prepare lunch for the elves. Xiao Candle stayed by Ling Yuan’s side, constantly digesting Houndoom’s soul energy.
Ding-a-ling, a robotic arm with a screen appeared in front of Ling Yuan.
“Mr. Lingyuan, you have a video call. The caller is the purchaser of Rotom, Ms. Kikuko,” Rotom appeared on the screen.
“Answer it directly,” Ling Yuan agreed to answer the call directly.
“Xiao Yuan, you made quite a big fuss this time,” Kikuko appeared in the video.
“Grandma, please listen to my explanation. It wasn’t me who blew up the power plant. At that time, it was…” Lingyuan hurriedly explained to Kikuko, otherwise people would think that he was the one who blew up the power plant, and he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
“Oh, you met Hunter Z, that bastard,” Kikuko was also quite surprised after hearing this. When she heard that her grandson was going to go on a killing spree, she thought her beloved grandson had directly blown up the power plant.
“Yes, Rotom, please help transfer the footage,” he sent over the video he had taken.
“You did a good job, but your combat skills need to be improved. You’ve been a bit slack, Xiao Yuan,” Kikuko commented after watching the video.
Ling Yuan complained in his heart, if it weren’t for your devilish training, how would a former office worker like me have the experience of life-and-death fights!
“Have you collected any evidence?” Kikuko asked directly.
“Grandma, I collected a lot, but the fish are a bit big, and I was worried you would choke,” Ling Yuan touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
“Haha, if you’re afraid I’d choke, send it over here. I want to see how big the fish is,” Kikuko said indifferently.
After Rotom copied and scanned all the data, he left directly through the circuit and headed for Kikuko’s estate.
Chapter 13 Master Meeting and Cleanup (Old Version)
At the Kikuko family manor, Rotom arrived shortly after hanging up Lingyuan’s call and projected the data directly.
After reading it, Kikuko’s expression did not change at all. She looked at her shadow and said, “Go and get the communication equipment.” The shadow flashed by and brought a suitcase.
Turning on the device, it turned out to be a very sophisticated instrument, similar to a military computer. Kikuko entered the password and the startup screen appeared, with five figures appearing.
“Kikuko, I didn’t expect you to initiate the Masters’ Meeting. What’s wrong? What difficulties have you encountered? Do you need help?” asked a figure in a white coat.
“Old man Ohki, do you want to die?” Kikuko responded to the man in the white coat without any politeness.
“Xiao Ju, what’s wrong? You contacted me suddenly. I think you found the location of that guy,” said a hunchbacked old man who was sitting in a wheelchair and gently stroking the little wild boar in his arms. Although his tone was slow, one could feel the chill in it.
“Sister Ju, you haven’t asked me to have tea with you for a long time. When can you come over?” This is a short old woman with two ponytails. She speaks like a young girl. Next to her stands a mighty water arrow turtle, and on the other side lies a dozing Myoka frog.
“Xiao Ju, what’s going on? Why are we suddenly starting a meeting? What happened in the alliance?” This was a short old man who was wearing casual clothes with a hat turned backwards and a big beard on his face. He was holding his beard with his hand and looking at Ju Zi.
“Sister Kikuko, what happened? Can’t our boy Du handle it?” This was a mighty old man. Although his hair was gray, his body was still full of strong muscles, which showed his terrifying fighting power when he was young.
These five, including Kikuko, are the most powerful League Master Trainers in the Kanto region.
“My boy, find the problem with the Black Cloud City Tidal Power Plant. Rotom, send the information over,” Kikuko ordered Rotom next to him to send the electronic information he had just compiled to the five people opposite. After a while, the five masters looked very unhappy.
“What do you want to do, Xiaoju?” President Damalanchi said.
“I want to clean up. This matter can’t be resolved with a few words or a little compensation,” Kikuko said without a trace of warmth.
“I understand,” said Liu Bo, the ice master sitting in a wheelchair, without saying another word and directly hung up the phone.
“Oh, Sister Kikuko has spoken. As her younger sister, of course I support her,” Skill Master Milim also spoke and hung up the call.
“Sister Kikuko, I’ll send my boy Du over. He’s an investigator now, so he can go and handle it. If he can’t handle it, I’ll do it myself,” the patriarch of the Johto Yulong family also spoke and hung up the phone.
“Alas, I raised too many questions about this project at the time, and it seems that they have not moved on it for a long time, and they have forgotten my identity as Ohki,” said Ohki Yukinari, the former champion of the Kanto League, who looked at his old friend of many years and decided to give it another try.
“Well, these brats have forgotten that the alliance’s voice has never been determined by status,” President Damaranchi had no intention of asking any more questions. He was mainly thinking about how to fill the vacancies after these families disappeared.
Everyone hung up the phone and the equipment was put back in place. Kikuko looked at the setting sun. “Geng Li, you said we haven’t moved for a few years. Has the world forgotten us?” “Geng Li, Geng Li, Geng Li,” Gen Li laughed in front of Kikuko and looked at the setting sun as if recalling the past.
Nightfall
Golden City, Suburban Villa
Boom! The luxurious villa was directly overturned by the terrifying superpower. The Golden Gym Leader Nancy and Alakazam were confronting a former league official.
“Nazi, what do you mean? Aren’t you afraid that the Alliance will cancel your position as Gym Leader?” The middle-aged man was very nervous. He was the chief engineer in charge of the design of the Black Cloud City Tidal Power Plant at the time and is now retired.
“The tidal power plant incident has been exposed, and all the people there have to be cleared out. You live in Golden City, so of course I’ll start with you,” Naz replied calmly.
“Do you know who’s behind this? If you leave immediately, I can pretend that nothing happened,” the middle-aged man’s pupils were shocked, but he still responded calmly, hoping that his background could scare Naz away.
“They, they are all in trouble, you should go first,” Naz smiled as if she heard something funny.
“What?” The man’s head was chopped off by Hu Di’s spiritual blade.
“Brother Xiao Yuan, you have grown up, but not fast enough,” Nancy looked into the distance and teleported away with Alakazam.
Light Red City, Suburban Manor
Crack! The huge manor was directly frozen. You could even see Bartha and three bees still flying in the garden, like lifelike sculptures. An old man was sitting in a wheelchair, behind him was an ice doll pushing the wheelchair forward, and the little boar in his arms was taking a nap. When the wheelchair was about to reach the door of the villa.
“Roar!” A Land Shark fell from the sky, carrying a huge phantom of the Dragon God and attacked the old man.
At this moment, a small red wing waved gently, and with a click, the champion-level Land Shark was instantly frozen. With a bang, it was directly blown to pieces.
A messenger bird appeared next to the old man, the door of the villa was opened by the ice doll, and a middle-aged man sat in the middle of the stairs with a dejected look on his face.
“Are you going to kill them all?” The middle-aged man stared at the old man.
“If you do something wrong, you have to admit it,” the old man said without further explanation.
“I am a member of parliament, you are just the owner of the museum, you are not qualified to judge me,” the middle-aged man stood up and pointed at the old man.
At this moment, the little wild boar in the old man’s arms suddenly sneezed, and the middle-aged man was frozen to pieces.
“Poor creature,” the old man said nothing more, and the messenger bird flapped its wings, and the old man disappeared in the fine snow.
Silver Mountain, Hillside Manor
Boom! A huge wave missile blew Banguilas away directly. Banguilas’ body was covered with cracks. There were many corpses of King-level Rock-type Pokémon beside him. A lady was looking at the twin-tailed girl in front of her breathlessly.
“Who are you? Why did you kill my family and children?” The woman stared at the girl using Blastoise opposite her. The other party had just entered the manor and started killing. All the king-level Pokémon were killed in the battle, and even her ace champion-level Banjiras was about to die.
“Ah, now no one in the alliance remembers me? Milim is so sad,” the girl in the pink dress opposite said distressedly.
“Milim? Milim!” The woman’s pupils shrank as if she remembered something. “You are, you are the Tyrant Milim.”
“Oh, I finally remembered. You can go on your journey now,” Milim smiled happily.
“Why, why did you take action!” The woman had already seen her own end and cried out heartbreakingly.
“How pitiful! Little Turtle, Little Flower, Little Fire, the Oath Trio,” upon hearing the order, water, grass, and fire energies emerged from the ground in the entire manor, the entire Silver Mountain shook, and the manor disappeared from the map.
Cerulean City, Seaside Manor
Pokémon corpses can be seen everywhere on the sea, and the entire sea surface has been dyed purple. Kikuko and Gengar are walking on the beach.
A middle-aged man was holding a Poké Ball, and next to him was a champion-level Nidoking, but he was now also poisoned and began to become shaky.
“Ms. Kikuko, what do you mean? Why did you attack me?” Although the man seemed calm, his slightly trembling hands betrayed him.
“Heiyun City, do I need to say more?” Kikuko looked at the person in front of her and said calmly.
“Isn’t it just to make some spare money? Why did you kill everyone? My child and wife were poisoned to death,” the middle-aged man roared.
“Alas, you are one of the children I once had my eyes on, but you took the wrong path. Let me correct this mistake,” Kikuko said nothing more. Gengar’s eyes flashed red. Ten minutes later, it seemed as if nothing had happened. The beautiful coast was so peaceful.
Honglian City, nearby private island
Boom! A luxury speedboat was sunk directly, including more than 20 people on it.
“Oaki, you bastard, why, why do you attack me? I’m a congressman,” the middle-aged man roared madly, commanding the three-headed dragons to fight back continuously, but these attacks were no more than tickles to Professor Oak’s Dragonite.
“Alas, I didn’t expect that even you were involved in this. When you proposed the tidal power plant project, I raised my objection. You joined forces with other congressmen to deal with me. I felt uneasy at the time, but I didn’t expect you to be so cruel, attacking innocent Pokémon and disregarding the health of the residents of Black Cloud City,” Professor Oak replied calmly, looking at the hysterical middle-aged man in front of him.
“Aren’t they just some beasts and civilians? I have also provided a lot of benefits to the alliance.” Seeing the three-headed dragon being knocked down with one punch, he finally panicked.
“Well, there’s no point in saying more. Let’s get going, Dragonite, Dragonite Meteor,” Dragonite carried Professor Oak to high altitude, and Dragonite blasted a highly concentrated energy bomb into the sky. In an instant, a meteorite rain began to fall, and the island disappeared from the map after being bombarded by a large amount of energy.
Nibi City, Mountain Manor
Boom! The manor was full of rubble. A Dragonite and a Steelix were fighting. The aftermath spread over nearly a kilometer. An old man was confronting Yulongdu.
“Du, what do you want to do? You go into the congressman’s house without saying anything. What do you mean?” The old man looked at the other party with caution. Although he had a champion-level Steelix, he was still afraid of Du because the other party had more than one champion-level Pokémon.
“You’ve been arrested, something has happened in Black Cloud City, come with me to the alliance headquarters,” Du stared at the other party.
Sure enough, the other party wanted to use Pokémon to burrow and escape when he heard it. A Dragonite fell from the sky and killed the old man and his Dragon Head Diglett with one punch. At super fast speed, another flaming fist went straight through Steelix’s head. When Steelix fell to the ground, he looked at the Dragonite and pointed at his nose and cursed. The Dragonite lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and was being scolded.
Du, who possessed the power of a high-level dragon rider, heard it directly, “Why are you so weak? It’s all because of your mother’s pampering. You followed this brat and…”
“Ancestor, why are you here?” Du was also timid when he saw the Dragonite on the opposite side. This was the Dragonite of the clan leader and also the father of his Dragonite.
Dragonite didn’t even look at Du, it soared into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
Du and his Dragonite looked at each other, sighed, and looked helpless.
“King Dutian, what’s the situation?” Seeing the aftermath disappear, other investigators quickly rushed to the scene.
“Collect the team, leave a group of people to handle this, and the others will go to Heiyun City and arrest all the people according to the list,” Du once again regained his former dignity and gave orders to the investigators.
“Yes,” the other investigators immediately began to clean up the mess, and Du went ahead to Heiyun City.
Ling Yuan, who was in the Dark City, didn’t know that because of his report, the families of five members of the Kanto Alliance were destroyed.
Slide 14: Team Rocket and the Dark Three (Old Version)
The next morning, Quartz Plateau, Alliance Headquarters
“It’s lawless, really lawless. Why do they attack the congressman directly?” an old man slammed the table and shouted.
The other congressmen nearby also echoed this. They were all frightened by the news they received last night. They gathered together immediately in the morning and went to the alliance headquarters, hoping to ask President Damaranchi for an explanation.
“Oh, Xiao Jin, what do you want?” Damalanchi looked at the old man in front of him and said kindly as usual.
“They should be punished. Kikuko and Watari are only kings. How can they directly attack the councillors? And Black Cloud City is too involved. It should be suppressed, otherwise what will happen to the credibility of the alliance?” the old man in front of him blurted out, and the other councillors also echoed, hoping that President Damaranch could put pressure on them.
“Oh, it seems you all forgot,” President Damaranki said disappointedly as he looked at the person in front of him.
“What?” The old man in the lead looked at President Damarange in confusion.
“You have forgotten that you are only managers of the alliance, and have never been the owners of the alliance,” President Damaranchi changed his usual behavior, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and in an instant three shadows appeared behind him, Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos. The energy shadows burst out with pressure, and all the councilors were pressed to the floor. Everyone was sweating profusely and unable to move.
“Remember, if you endanger the healthy development of the alliance, you can be replaced at any time,” Damaranch stared sternly at everyone off the court. A wonder appeared in the sky of the Quartz Plateau. Blizzard, sunny day, and thunderstorm, the three kinds of weather divided the world into three parts. The Pokémon living in the Championship Road and Quartz Plateau were trembling. Their God was angry.
Joban City, Joban Gym, Underground Base
“Knock! Knock! Knock!” There was a knock on the door. “Come in,” a professional woman entered the office and handed the documents in her hand to the middle-aged man who was petting the cat boss.
“Boss, this is the message our spy inside the alliance sent back last night, as well as the photos of the scene we got yesterday,” Secretary Manori said to the middle-aged man.
The man looked at the photos in front of him: the frozen manor in Crimson City, the huge pit under Silver Mountain, the comparison picture of the disappeared island, the seaside manor in Cerulean City, and the mountain ruins in Nibi City. One finger kept tapping on the table.
“Zhenniao, do you know who did this?” the man asked his secretary.
“Boss, I don’t know,” Manatori answered truthfully. In her impression, none of the recorded strong men matched the number.
“Haha, this was done by those old guys,” the man said with a smile.
“Old man?” Zhenniao looked at the other person strangely.
“Manato, do you know why I don’t let the Rockets go from dark to light, and even I have to use the strategy of relying on the alliance system?” The man looked at Manato seriously.
“It is because of the existence of these old guys that the Kanto League is called the strongest league and the birthplace of the league. It has never been because of economics, the number of trainers, or historical issues, but because it has several times more master trainers than other leagues,” the middle-aged man began to talk to himself. Manato heard it and looked at him in shock.
“Hehe, if we face the Tyrant or Yulong Cheng behind alone, I, Beedrill and the ground army can still defeat them, but if I meet the others, I may die on the spot,” the middle-aged man said calmly.
It was also the first time that Manato heard his boss, the leader of Team Rocket, say such words.
“That’s why we have the Mewtwo Project. Without the power of legendary beasts, without power beyond the master level, it would be a pipe dream for our Team Rocket to dominate the league,” Sakaki said seriously, staring at the photo on the desk.
“Don’t worry about this matter. Mewtwo’s debugging is still in progress. Now is not the time to anger the league. Let the people below start to retreat. Let them solve the turmoil within the league themselves. Our Rocket Team will expand to the Orange League,” Sakaki gave a direct order to Manato.
“Also, Boss, the Sasaki family provided another sum of funds yesterday, saying it was an additional amount that they had forgotten about before,” Manatori handed the remittance slip to Sakaki.
“Heh, they’re probably scared by this thundering move. Chief Sasaki is only a beginner champion, and they have a lot of black industries under them,” Sakaki chuckled as he looked at the bill.
“Tell the research team to speed up the production of the restraint armor, and you go down, Manatori,” Sakaki said, continuing to stroke the cat boss.
“Yes,” Manatori turned and left the room.
“Master level?” Sakaki stroked the cat boss and fell into deep thought, his blood boiling. Although he had been at the master level for some time, his road had begun to stagnate. Even though he had been the leader of the dark organization for many years, he was still a trainer, and his pursuit of power would never stop.
An isolated island between the Sinnoh region and the Hoenn region
This looks like a deserted island on the outside, but its interior has been hollowed out to build a high-tech underground base. This is the headquarters of the Alphabet Poaching Organization, and today they welcome two special guests.
Three figures were enjoying delicious food at the round table in the center of the base.
“Hunter Z is dead,” the silver-haired beauty said calmly after drinking the red wine.
“If you’re dead, you’re dead. The last 10 digits of the letter are consumables and can be replaced at any time,” said the strange man who was enjoying the Kentaro steak in front of him.
“Kikuko’s grandson killed him,” the silver-haired woman said with a smile.
Bang! The steak plate was smashed to pieces, and the strange man went crazy, “Kikuko, Kikuko, you stinky bitch!”
“Hahaha, I knew you would get angry,” the silver-haired woman laughed happily.
“Queen, do you want to die?” He stared at the woman.
“Given that you were defeated by Kikuko several years ago, if King hadn’t arrived, you would have been poisoned to death by Kikuko,” Queen confronted her opponent.
“That’s enough,” the man in the main seat spoke, and the two of them fell silent instantly.
“Joker, don’t go look for Kikuko. If you touch her, Oki and Liu Bo will come out, and I won’t be able to collect the bodies then,” the man in the main seat directly ordered the strange man.
“King, what a bullshit Ghost King, ghost master, she is just a poison master, I was tricked by her,” the weird man showed a hand, bones were exposed, it seemed like flesh was growing again, but it was suddenly corroded.
“Find a way to capture Celebi to help you deal with it, and Queen will find someone to fill the vacancy. The main targets now are Dialga and Palkia, understand?” The man stared at the two people opposite and warned.
“Got it,” Queen and Joker nodded.
“Leave, this party is over,” the man disappeared into his seat.
These three people are the leaders of the three most terrifying organizations in the underground world, the Alphabet Poaching Organization, the Ghost Assassination Organization and the Bounty Hunter Organization. Ling Yuan did not expect that his one move would attract the attention of the three dark giants to him, little Karami.
Chapter 15: Sudden Firefight (Old Version)
In the morning, after a rare good sleep, Lingyuan stretched lazily and saw the Leke cat sleeping next to him.
When she was bathing him yesterday, he looked at his mother pitifully, but Mimikyu turned around and left, leaving the cat to be dragged into the bathroom by Lingyuan with a desperate look on his face. After being bathed, he looked brand new, and Lingyuan began his cat-stroking life.
Elf: Luke Cat
Attribute: Electricity
Features: Intimidation
Level: 29 (Intermediate High)
Level skills: impact, bite, electric shock, glare, roar, crush, discharge, electromagnetic wave, iron tail.
Inherited Skill: Lightning Flash
This qualification can be said to be very outstanding. After all, in the wild, the quasi-king qualification is already a genius picked out of a hundred in the tribe, and the qualification is not static. Many natural treasures in nature may affect the changes in the elves’ qualifications.
Ling Yuan liked Qinlun cats very much when he was playing games in his previous life, mainly because when he watched the 20th anniversary movie, he was particularly moved by the Qinlun cat who sacrificed himself to save his little master. Qinlun cats looked very handsome. Even though he specialized in ghosts, he still hoped to have a big cat of his own.
“Meow” Leke Cat heard Lingyuan’s voice, and Leke Cat also woke up and looked at Lingyuan.
“How did you sleep last night?” Ling Yuan touched the Leke cat’s head. Yes, it was the feeling of petting a cat.
“Meow,” Luke Cat was very happy. The human in front of him was very kind to him and his mother. He not only helped him to get revenge, but also provided them with a place to stay. However, he didn’t like the feeling of taking a bath.
“Let’s go and see the little mimic,” Ling Yuan continued to use this nickname because of the mimic Uncle Q.
When Lingyuan and Lekemao went downstairs, they saw the three funny brothers watching TV all night long. They were still staring at the TV, with snack bags all around them.
“Okay, you just let yourselves go when I leave you alone!” Ling Yuan walked up to the three funny brothers and stared at them sternly.
“Geng Ga, Geng Ga (Jie, Jie, Jie),” seeing that Ling Yuan seemed angry, he pointed at the other party decisively, saying that it was the other party’s fault, and that plastic brotherhood was also acceptable.
“Forget it. You all contributed to the incident in Heiyun City this time. This won’t happen again next time,” Ling Yuan waved his hand and walked towards the kitchen.
“Geng, Geng (Jie, Jie)” The three funny brothers looked at each other and were also surprised. Ling Yuan didn’t scold them this time?
“Woof woof woof,” Muyang dog came to Lingyuan, lay beside Lingyuan and watched him make breakfast.
“Good morning, Little Candle. Where’s Little Mimi?” Seeing the tomb dog, Ling Yuan asked about the whereabouts of Mimi Q.
“Woof, woof, woof, woof,” said the Tomb Dog, staring at the training ground in the living area outside. Ling Yuan opened the window and watched Mimic Q waving a wooden hammer. Perhaps he was unwilling to die when facing his enemy, so he could only relieve it through training.
“Well, I hope she can think it through. Lekemao, please persuade your mother to let it go. By the way, ask her to come over for breakfast,” Ling Yuan said to Lekemao next to him.
“Meow, meow,” Luke the cat nodded, walked out of the kitchen and ran towards his mother.
The energy blocks of the elves are ready. The elves have gathered in the living room next door. Mimikyu has returned with Lucky Cat.
“Little Mimi, it’s over. I’ve avenged you. You should let it go. We will have many adventures and challenges in the future. I will help you plan a training plan. Now you should take a good rest with the Lukecats and Raichus.”
“Okay, let’s have breakfast,” Lingyuan finished speaking, and the elves were enjoying their breakfast. The Raichus and the boss were chatting while eating, Haunter was chatting with Luckycat, as if it was the story of his running away from home, and Mimikyu was eating energy cubes silently.
“Oh, I have to think about how to help Mimikyuu relieve his stress.” As a trainer, you must always pay attention to the mental health of your Pokémon.
Bang! Suddenly, there was a sound of something breaking outside, and the noise even got louder as time went on.
“Well, what’s going on!” Ling Yuan noticed the commotion outside and looked out the window, where smoke was already rising.
“Something is wrong. Little Mimi, Little Candle, come with me. The other elves can go and rest after eating. I think there will be a fight,” Ling Yuan remembered what the restaurant owner said yesterday.
The elves looked at each other and quickly finished their food. Lingyuan and MimiK-Q walked out of the gym, while Tomb Dog disappeared on the spot.
“Everyone, we must defeat all the people in the Kaz Gym this time,” the people in black shirts rushed out and killed the opposite side.
“Brothers, we must kill everyone in the Yas Gym today,” the people in the Kaz Gym were not willing to be outdone.
Electabuzz and Scyther rushed out directly. Electabuzz used 100,000 volts to attack the people in the Yas Gym, while Scyther used Iai Slash to destroy the house next to it, causing it to collapse and crush the people in the Kaz Gym.
Other members also released Pokémon to fight each other. The scene was in chaos and many residents were affected. Many people fled with their children.
Many Pokémon, including Gollum, Flying Kick, Quick Punch, Monkey King, Tyrannosaurus, Rattata, Gigantic, and Rhydon, fought with each other, which directly led to the collapse of several houses and buried many people underneath.
When Ling Yuan arrived at the scene, he was very angry. They just ignored the safety of the residents and fought wantonly. What was the difference between them and the underworld in his previous life? He still wanted to be the owner of a gym? It was just a pipe dream.
“Little mimic, use the gavel to beat them,” Ling Yuan ordered the mimic Q at his feet to use the gavel of justice against these bullies.
Mimikyu couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed out directly, hammering away Pokémon below the gym leader level. When someone stood in front of her, she would just use Shadow Claws to slap them away. Many people in the Kaz and Yas gyms were knocked unconscious by them.
“Who dares to interrupt our fight?” Kaz and Yas turned around at the same time and saw the people who had lost consciousness and the Pokémon on the opposite side with a green hammer.
“I am a candidate for the Dark City Gym Leader, Ling Yuan. You have been disqualified from becoming a Gym Leader. If you stop now and turn yourself in to the police, I can forgive you. But if you persist, I will take direct action against you,” Ling Yuan looked at the other party and revealed his identity directly.
“Hahaha, you’re just a kid and you’re a candidate for gym leader. The gym leader is mine,” Kaz looked down on the kid seeing that he was just a kid on the opposite side.
“What? The gym owner is mine, Kaz, go to hell,” Yas ignored Ling Yuan.
“Alas, it seems that you are stubborn and refuse to repent. Little Candle, suppress them,” Ling Yuan saw that the other side ignored him and started quarreling again, so he directly ordered Mu Yang Dog to take action.
“Roar,” the Graveyard Pokémon appeared next to Lingyuan and roared. Everyone on the scene was suppressed to the ground by the ghost energy. Yas and Kaz looked at the huge dog Pokémon in horror.
“It seems that you are stubborn and unwilling to repent. Let me introduce myself. I’m Lingyuan, specializing in ghost-type Pokémon. This is my partner, Gravedog, who loves to eat fresh souls. You’ve destroyed the town and caused the city to become depressed for your own selfish reasons. Some people have even been injured because of you. You should make a contribution in the end, little candle,” Lingyuan walked up to Kaz and Yas and said slowly, while Gravedog had already started to activate its ability and began to absorb the physical strength of everyone and Pokémon.
“No, you can’t do this, this is against the laws of the alliance,” Kaz felt his body getting weaker and weaker, and he was afraid, so he began to threaten Ling Yuan.
“Yes, aren’t you a candidate for gym leader? You can’t kill anyone!” Yas shouted in fear.
“Oh, you also know the alliance laws. You fight, destroy public property, and threaten the lives of residents. Doesn’t this violate the alliance laws?” Ling Yuan looked at the other party strangely and asked back.
“Me, you, this…” Yas was speechless.
“Okay, go on your way with peace of mind. You were enemies in life, but you will have a companion after death. Yes, you will be eaten after death, and you will have no companion anymore,” Ling Yuan looked at the other person with an innocent face and slowly lost consciousness while begging for mercy.
At this moment, Ling Yuan turned around and looked at a corner, “Aren’t you coming out yet? Sister Lan!”
Chapter 16: Joey’s appearance (old version)
“Oh, brother Xiaoyuan, you are really perceptive,” a figure wearing a windbreaker and a mask walked out from the corner.
“Little Candle, I smell a familiar scent. Sister, you must be the prosecutor,” Ling Yuan looked at Qiao Yilan in front of him.
“Oh, why do you think so?” Joey looked at his younger brother curiously.
“I guessed. After all, you came here in disguise, and you didn’t do anything. I guess this is my assessment item.”
At this time, Joey simply pulled off his clothes, revealing the nurse uniform underneath, and took out the Poké Ball that proved he was a gym inspector, and released the Pokémon inside.
“Come out, little cloud,”
“Happy, happy,” a pink happy egg appeared directly in front of Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan was also stunned when he saw the Happy Egg in front of him. Others might not feel anything, but in the eyes of Ling Yuan, who had an appreciative eye, it was as follows:
Elf: Happy Egg
Attribute: General
Ability: Healing Heart
Level: 75 (mid-level Heavenly King)
Level skills: Act like a spoiled child, Life Drop, Angel’s Kiss, Poison, Hold on…
Inherited Skill: Healing Bell
Heavenly King Secret Skill: Healing Recovery, Healing Round
Looking at the mid-level Happiny in front of him, he finally understood why Candlelight recovered so quickly last time. He was also sure that the Joey in front of him was the fighting Joey holding Latias in the animation. He teased in his heart, you big guys really know how to play.
Joey looked at Ling Yuan’s shocked expression and smiled, “Little brother Yuan, do you want to fight with me? I’ll let you have a hand.”
What are you hitting? Hit with the head. Can a king-level Pokémon be targeted by a quasi-king?
“Sister Lan, stop joking. How are we going to deal with these guys?” Ling Yuan looked at Qiao Yilan speechlessly.
“Little Cloud, healing bell,” Ding-ling, with the ringing of Happiny’s healing bell, the people lying on the ground began to wake up slowly.
“What’s wrong with me?” Yas and Kaz held their heads and stood up to look at Ling Yuan and Miss Joy in front of them.
“You,” Kaz and Yas looked at Ling Yuan and took several steps back. They were both frightened by what Ling Yuan had done just now.
“I’m Joeylan, the Gym Inspector of the Alliance. Due to fighting, your Kaz Gym and Yas Gym have had a negative impact on the development of Dark City. Your gym application qualifications are now revoked. You have one day to disband your gym and surrender to the police station. If you resist or escape, you will be wanted by the Alliance prosecutor,” Joey took out his ID and directly announced the fate of the two gyms.
“What, how is this possible?” Kaz and Yas were both panicked. They didn’t expect that Joey in front of them was the gym inspector, nor did they expect this to be the outcome.
“o(*^＠^*)o, you want to resist,” Ling Yuan and Mu Yang Dog stared at each other.
“We understand,” Kaz and Yas were dejected. Ling Yuan arranged for Mimic Q and Grave Dog to monitor them to prevent them from escaping, and he took Joeylan back to the gym.
Ling Yuan prepared black tea for Qiao Yilan, while he was stroking the cat beside her.
“Sister Lan, why did you come to Dark City?”
“It was because of the big incident you caused the day before yesterday that the higher-ups were shocked. As a gym candidate, you actually blew up a power plant.”
“Originally my superior was still considering whether you were suitable as a gym candidate, but then Queen Kikuko called and said that you were ordered by her to encircle Hunter Z. My boss didn’t know what to say, and my vacation happened to be over, so I applied to come and see you.”
“Slander, pure slander. How could I, such an upright person, do such a thing to cause trouble?”
“That was because Hunter Z coveted the Pokémon in the power plant, so he attacked and blew it up. I fought back to prevent him from succeeding,” Ling Yuan denied shamelessly, looking at Qiao Yilan with his big, Caroline eyes.
“Okay, stop acting. The matter this time has been settled. Your merit in killing Hunter Z will be added to your achievements as a future gym leader,” Qiao Yilan waved his hand. They were all old hands and everyone knew each other.
“That’s fine. What about the gym assessment, Sister Lan?”
“Your gym assessment was originally going to be divided into three parts. The first one was to deal with conflicts in local private gyms. The second one was actual combat, where you would fight against me to see your command ability. You were exempted from the credit of killing Hunter Z. The third one was to go to Golden City to be certified as a Quasi-King trainer, and there was a Quasi-King peak challenge added specifically for you. Your opponent was a senior prosecutor,” Joeylan said seriously.
“How about this, just tell me directly,” Ling Yuan didn’t expect Qiao Yilan to tell him the content of the assessment so easily.
“Oh, what can I do if I tell you? If you don’t accept it, ask my fist if it accepts it,” Qiao Yilan raised his fist and waved it.
“You’re awesome!” Ling Yuan gave a thumbs up. He is worthy of being called Fighting Joey, a ruthless man who doesn’t talk much.
“By the way, the person who was pinned down just now was you, Sister Lan, right?”
“Guess!”
Ling Yuan and Qiao Yilan smiled at each other.
While Ling Yuan and Joeylan were chatting, the Kaz Gym and the Yas Gym had already gathered their members and announced the disbanding of the gym. When everyone heard the news, they were quite scared, because they had done a lot of bad things in private. If they turned themselves in, they would not be able to escape for a year or two. Some of them wanted to escape, but at this moment, GraveHound and Mimikyu directly released their pressure. They knew that it was a ghost-type Pokémon that was monitoring them, so they had to go to the police station obediently.
“Although the assessment is waived, the examination of me as a sister is still necessary,” Joey saw that the conversation was almost over and also proposed a battle request.
“No way, Sister Lan, how could I be your opponent?” Ling Yuan raised his hands in surrender.
“Haha, sister won’t make it difficult for you. I’ll use Jigglypuff to fight you. She’s Little Cloud’s eldest daughter, so it should be okay, right?” Joey also knew that using the main force was too bullying.
“Well, come on,” Ling Yuan also remembered the elite-level lucky egg that gave him the egg.
Ling Yuan and Joey walked to the training ground in the living area, and the other elves came over to watch.
“Come out, Chansey,” Joey threw out the Poké Ball.
“Lucky, lucky,” Jigglypuff appeared on the field and greeted Ling Yuan happily when he saw him.
“Haunter, get ready for battle,” Ling Yuan directly called Haunter to the field.
Elf: Jigglypuff
Features: Heaven’s Grace
Level: 45 (Elite Mid-level)
Level skills: Egg laying, finger swinging, angel kiss, poison, hold…
Ling Yuan almost drooled when he looked at the data. This could be an excellent candidate for the team doctor, but he himself had no way to get a Chanterelle of his own. After all, Chanterelles were monopolized by the Joey family, and wild Chanterelles were harder to find than quasi-gods.
“Brother Xiaoyuan, you go first,” Joey generously gave the right to start.
“Okay, Haunter, Shadow Ball,” Haunter opened his mouth wide and Shadow Ball flew directly towards Chansey.
“Chickenwhip, shrink,” Chanel shrank and the Shadow Ball flew over her head.
“Spiritual surprise attack, followed by Shadow Claw,” Haunter disappeared on the spot.
“Chicken Egg, use singing,” Joylan directly used a large-scale move.
“Haunter, use Death Song,” Haunter uses duet singing.
The noise and singing intertwined together, and Lingyuan, Qiao Yilan, and the Pokémon present all covered their ears.
With the effect of the Song of the End, Chansey’s physical strength is rapidly decreasing. If Joylan doesn’t find a solution, Chansey might be taken away directly.
“Chicken Egg, use the raw egg,” Cheeky Egg stopped singing and took the lead in recovering his strength.
“Haunter, now is the time, Wave of Evil,” Ling Yuan directly ordered the attack. Haunter stopped singing and used Wave of Evil on the recovering Chansey to blast her away. Bang, Chansey fell to the ground, but the egg also recovered half of its strength. On the contrary, Haunter’s strength was rapidly losing due to the effect of Song of the End.
“Chickenjack, throw the bomb,” Joeylan directly ordered Chanel to use his ultimate move. The bomb wrapped in evil energy was thrown at Haunter by Chanel, but Lingyuan did not respond.
“Same fate!” Ling Yuan gave the order the moment the bomb hit Haunter. A ghost energy directly connected to Chanterelle the moment Haunter fell. Chanterelle screamed and lost its ability to fight.
“Little Cloud, healing bell. Very good, you used the advanced peak Haunter to take away my elite mid-level Chansey,” Joylan released the Happiny and turned to Ling Yuan and said.
“It’s okay, Sister Lan, Haunter’s hard power is no match for Chansey, so we can only use some tricks,” Ling Yuan said embarrassedly.
“I feel relieved too. I will be returning to Golden City to report soon. You just have to do your best. In the assessment two months later, the opponent won’t be as easy to talk to as I am.” Chansey and Haunter have recovered under the sound of the Elite-level healing bell. They each returned to the back of their trainer.
“I will try my best and go see Sister Lan then,” Ling Yuan sent Qiao Yilan out of the gym. At this time, Tomb Dog and Mimikyu also came back.
“How is it, have they all turned themselves in?”
Grave Dog and Mimikyu both nodded.
“Okay, it’s time to decorate the haunted house, Candle, gather everyone.”
“Ah-woo-woo”, the tomb hound howled, and the elves all came to the door and set off for the ancient castle next to it.
Chapter 17: Castle Renovation (Old Version)
When Lingyuan arrived at the entrance of the castle, he saw that the original huge Gengar sculpture had been installed. From the outside, it looked like Gengar was about to swallow him. When he walked in, he could see that four scenes had been restored according to the design of Jinhuangshi, namely the Death Corridor, the Desolate Classroom, the Dark Cave, and the most terrifying Death Swamp. These scenes, which were played out in many previous lives, became different after being powered by Pokémon.
The Death Corridor is very dark and shabby. There are many picture frames hanging on the walls and many traps in the middle. Once the guests enter, Lingyuan will activate the mechanism and Haunter will be in place. The guests will first be scared by the monster crawling out of the portrait. If they step on the mechanism, many arrows with protection will be shot at the guests. Gastly will enter the doll inside and start chasing the guests.
Next, it is the desolate classroom. The chairs in the room are placed randomly and are full of decay. The whole classroom is shimmering with a dark red glow. The floor seems to be filled with blood (artificial plasma). When guests enter, Lingyuan starts playing a recording, which is the sound of a nursery rhyme recorded by Lingyuan in his childish voice. Then Gengar will start to use mental power to control one or two chairs to fly up. The recording will also emit a childlike smile from behind, asking the guests if they want to play. After that, the chairs will chase the guests, and the guests are forced to enter the next level.
The next scene is the Death Cave. The entire room is surrounded by rock walls decorated with rock-type Pokémon, making it look like a cave. At this time, Ling Yuan will, based on the situation, turn off the remote-controlled flashlight given to the guests before entering, start the air conditioner to blow up the cold wind, and control the recording to make ghost sounds. In this level, the guests have to grope their way out of the room, but for some guests who may suffer from claustrophobia, this is simply a nightmare.
Finally, the most important scene is the Death Swamp. When guests enter, they will see a small pond with a radius of about 5 meters. There is a small boat next to it that can seat 2-3 people. Guests get on the boat and start paddling towards the exit. The Haunters begin their final work. Lingyuan starts the artificial waves, and the Haunters dive into the prepared water ghost dolls below and start swimming towards the boat, harassing the guests and focusing on scaring the most timid guests. When the guests reach the shore, the whole journey ends.
Ling Yuan led the elves to check every scene. It was the first time for the elves from the power plant to see such an environment. The Leke cats sniffed everywhere, and the Raichus touched here and there. After Ling Yuan checked that there were no problems with all the facilities, he looked at the virtual screen in front of him.
[Task bar: The haunted house horror scene, the Death Field, is to be unlocked, Elf Candy +3,] Ling Yuan directly clicks the unlock button.
[Death Field has been unlocked. The renovation is expected to take two hours. Please leave the castle and wait for two hours.]Ling Yuan brought the elves back to the living area to wait. At this time, Haunter looked a little strange.
Haunter suddenly closed his eyes, and ghost energy in his body began to rise, which was a sign of promotion.
Bang! The energy in Haunter’s body began to slowly recede.
Haunter has been at the peak of the advanced level for three months. This battle with Chansey, coupled with the treatment from Chappie, directly enabled him to successfully break through the bottleneck.
“Great, Haunter, you’ve successfully entered the elite level,” Ling Yuan touched Haunter’s head.
“Jehee, jeehee, jeehee,” Haunter happily circled around Lingyuan.
Level: 41 (Elite Junior)
The other elves came over to congratulate Haunter, and Lukecat looked at Haunter with envy.
“Okay, we’ll go see the castle later. You guys go and rest first,” Ling Yuan sent the elves to rest.
“Little Mimi, Boss, come with me,” Ling Yuan brought Mimi Q to the living room.
“Kaka?” Mimi Q looked at Ling Yuan strangely, not knowing why he was left alone.
“Are you feeling unwilling about not being able to kill Hunter Z last time?” Ling Yuan asked Mimikyu Q.
“Click, click,” the cloth bag on Mimikyu’s head lowered.
“It’s okay, boss, bring the things over here,” Ling Yuan called Gengar over and asked him to take out Hunter Z’s body.
At that time, due to the siege of the police, Ling Yuan had no time to deal with it, so he threw them all directly into Geng Gui’s stomach.
After seeing Hunter Z’s corpse, Mimikyu’s ghostly energy solidified.
“I’ll leave this to you,” after confirming that the matter was over, Hunter Z’s body was no longer useful, so he handed it over to Mimikyu. Mimikyu directly dragged the body towards the back mountain with Shadow Claws. Although it was not good to destroy the body, it would be worth it if it could help Mimikyu resolve his worries.
Lingyuan and Ah Da were in the kitchen dealing with Houndoom’s body. The flesh and blood of the quasi-king was a great tonic for the elves, so they were going to prepare dog meat hot pot for dinner today. As Ah Da used the Shadow Claw to cut Houndoom’s flesh and blood, Lingyuan was dealing with the cut flesh and blood. After throwing the bones and remaining internal organs to Xiao Zhu, it was almost time for decoration.
[Basement 1: The Death Countryside has been renovated]Ling Yuan put all the pieces of meat in the refrigerator and took the elf to check out the renovated basement.
Walking through the gate, you can see that a staircase has been added to go down. The space on the underground floor is larger than the upper floor, as big as a football field. Ling Yuan is shocked to see the expanded space and the village in front of him that was constructed by the system, the blackened land, and the dim background simulated by the ceiling, which is like the night with twinkling stars. The village in the middle is dilapidated as if no one lives there, but you can see lights on in some of the houses.
“Oh my goodness, Jason, Freddy, the ghost nun, the pig butcher…” Looking at the puppets under the light, he finally understood what puppet technology was.
“Haunter, from today on this floor will be in charge of you and Little Mimic, and the upper floors will be left to the boss and the others,” Ling Yuan decided to give this floor to Haunter and Mimic-Q.
After the tour, Haunter continued to possess various dolls and had a lot of fun.
After coming out of the castle, Ling Yuan took the Raichus to the Dark City to prepare their work clothes.
Following the map, we arrived at the local tailor shop.
Ding-ling, “Welcome,”
Walking inside, I saw a young lady,
“Hello, I want to order a few small vests for my Raichus,”
After ordering clothes for the Raichus, I returned to the gym. Mimikyu had already returned. She was training moves with LuckyCat.
He called Mimikyu over and told her the area she would be responsible for. She reluctantly agreed. He took her downstairs in the castle to familiarize herself with Haunter in the working environment, while Ling Yuan continued to prepare dinner for today.
In the living room, the elves were chatting with each other. Haunter shared with other elves the feeling of possessing dolls and his future scary plans. Mimikyu was listening carefully. After all, as a reincarnated ghost-type, she had no scary experience at all. After becoming a ghost-type, she had been running for revenge.
“Okay, everyone, the dog meat hotpot is ready. Boss, use your mental power to bring it over to me,” Gengar helped to bring a big pot to the side. The elves drooled at the sight of the delicious food inside and started eating without Ling Yuan saying anything.
Ling Yuan himself was eating instant noodles and watching. After all, the energy of the quasi-king’s elf meat was too high and ordinary people couldn’t bear it.
When the elves finished eating, they held their stomachs, staggered around, and licked the pot clean.
After Lingyuan was cleaned up, I saw that the elves went to sleep to digest their food. I don’t know how much this meal can help them improve.
Chapter 18: Sudden Fame and Spirit Training (Old Version)
In the morning, Lingyuan and the elves were having breakfast together.
“Beep, Mr. Lingyuan, there is a video link reminder for you,” Rotom placed the screen in front of Lingyuan.
Ling Yuan looked at the video related to him that was pushed to him, opened it casually, and found that it was a news video from the League Trainer Forum, with many responses from trainers below.
“Recently, a huge explosion occurred at the tidal power plant in Heiyun City. This incident caused a total of 10 deaths, 20 injuries, and 3 missing. The Guandong Alliance attaches great importance to this incident. The Guandong Alliance’s search agency led the investigation, and the local police in Heiyun City assisted in the investigation. Now the truth has been found. This incident was planned by the international poaching organization, the Alphabet Poaching Group, and it was a terrorist attack on the tidal power plant. Let’s take a look at the detailed report below.”
“Hunter Z, formerly known as…, main force: Quasi-King-level Houndoom. The cause of the explosion was the terrorist attack on the power plant by Houndoom, and the fierce resistance of the power plant elves to his atrocities. The Dark City gym candidate, Ling Yuan, appointed by King Kikuko, surrounded Hunter Z in this incident. In order to protect the life and safety of the power plant elves, he fought fiercely with Hunter Z and finally killed him. Let’s take a look at the scene at that time.”
The video shows scenes shot by Haunter from high altitude, from Lingyuan’s confrontation with Hunter Z to the battle scene, and the secondary explosion that occurred, and finally switched to the scene after Hunter Z was killed, and even the last photo of Lingyuan wearing equipment and his actual age.
Ling Yuan saw that this was someone trying to create hype, or to flatter him, and probably to attract traffic to the gym that would be opened in the future.
“No way, a 10-year-old quasi-king, this is a joke!”
“How amazing! He dares to fight against terrorists. I want to challenge his gym.”
“Heh, he must be the second generation from somewhere, otherwise how could he be so powerful?”
“The one upstairs, do you have the strength to do that?”
“Aren’t you afraid that this is murder to silence the witnesses? Are you doing this because the deal fell through?”
“The one upstairs, you are not allowed to say that about my baby,”
“That’s right, don’t you think his clothes and mask are really handsome?”
“Where is the link? I want a set too.”
Ling Yuan looked at the various comments, some were criticizing him, some were jealous of his ability, some were the sudden increase of mom fans, and some were asking where to buy his accessories. It turned out that all the stupid netizens were the same no matter where they were. The comments were becoming more and more biased, but the vast majority of them praised him for being able to get rid of such a cancer.
Ling Yuan turned off the video, but he didn’t know that as the League News Station announced his information, many new trainers wanted to gain fame by conquering Ling Yuan’s gym.
“Oh, it seems that my grandma has taken action to calm the situation. I don’t know how those congressmen will deal with it. Forget it, I’m just a small quasi-king trainer. I’d better think about how to reach the king level as soon as possible,” Ling Yuan thought to himself after reading the news.
Looking at the elves in front of him, yesterday’s tonic soup brought them a lot of growth. The Leke cats and Raichus have reached level 30, the peak of the intermediate level, and are only one level away from entering the advanced stage. The Leke cats can also evolve into Qinlun cats. Ling Yuan is looking at the electrical elves and thinking about how to help them break through.
The ghost-type Pokémon, the eldest, the second, and the third have all increased their energy levels by one, and a lot of energy is still being digested. The third is also preparing to evolve into Haunter, while Haunter has not yet adapted since it just broke through to the elite level. Mimikyu and Gravehender have the least changes, mainly because their energy levels are already very high. Gravehender is still digesting Houndoom’s soul energy and reinforcing the bones it ate yesterday to its limbs.
“Okay, we’re going to start training today. Lucky Cat, you and the Raichu will practice moves together, but if you want to evolve you have to hold back, understand? I still have things to prepare for you so that you can go further in the future,” Ling Yuan began to instruct the elves on training issues, and Mimikyu also told his son to hold back and not evolve yet.
As the Pokémons began to train, Lucky Cat and Raichu were learning 100,000 Volts to vent the energy they consumed yesterday, while Mimikyu was learning long-range attacks such as Shadow Ball and Strange Light from Gengar. She now only mastered close combat methods.
Xiao Candle lay beside Ling Yuan, looking at the tomb dog in front of him.
Level: 66 (mid-stage quasi-king)
Level skills: tomb sweeping, will-o’-the-wisp, collision, etc.
With the absorption of soul energy, Little Candle is only one step away from the late stage of Quasi-King. Once he completes the breakthrough, Ling Yuan will extract the elf candy and help Mu Yang Dog directly enter the peak of Quasi-King. In this way, he will be able to fight in the assessment two months later.
“Little Candle, let’s go to the back mountain. Your training is about to begin,” Ling Yuan climbed onto the back of the Tomb Dog and stroked his head.
“Woof woof,” the Tomb Dog ran towards the top of the mountain behind the mountain in the direction pointed by Ling Yuan.
After speeding all the way, Tomb Dog carried Ling Yuan to the top of the mountain. Looking at the gym at the bottom of the mountain, Ling Yuan was silently calculating the approximate range in his mind. The training of quasi-king elves requires a lot of space, mainly because of the expansion of their destructive range. For example, if Tomb Dog now uses its full strength, it can expand the destructive range to hundreds of meters.
If a quasi-king level elf wants to enter the king level, in addition to fully mastering its own moves, it also needs to fully master the king’s secrets before it can use the secrets as a stepping stone to break through to the king level. In addition to energy and the secrets of moves, physical transformation is also very important. This is why the kings of many regions will choose a single attribute as the composition of the main members. In addition to the savings on resources of a single attribute, it can also save time in the composition of the secrets. The elves help to perfect their own mysteries by confirming each other, and finally prepare to comprehend the origin and enter the champion level. Of course, this is an ideal situation. Many elves are limited by their talents.
“Okay, this is almost there, little candle, song of the cursed spirit,” Ling Yuan looked at the almost range and directly let the Tomb Yang Dog start training the secret of the King of Heaven.
As the Tomb-raising Dog’s singing sounded, ghost energy began to spread, and the surrounding trees began to sway constantly. The energy in nature was constantly being attracted to the Tomb-raising Dog. The original intention of the design of the Cursed Spirit Song was to help the Tomb-raising Dog have a large-scale recovery method during battle, but this was aimed at the physical strength of the elves. If you want to fully master it, you have to start with the life energy. Through the design of the system, the life energy contained in the elves, plants, and the earth can be absorbed, which means it has reached perfection.
For the next half month, Ling Yuan and the elves spent their time in training. In his spare time, Ling Yuan also prepared for the opening of the haunted house, shooting promotional videos, posting posters, designing the haunted house’s official website, etc. With the help of Rotom this time, the workload was reduced a lot.
It’s been a month since the Golden City Haunted House closed, and the Dark City Haunted Horror House is now open!
Chapter 19: Haunted House New Opening (Old Version)
Squeak! Boom! With a sound of thunder, the gate of the castle was opened, and the purple-haired boy walked into the castle timidly. He looked nervous and looked around. As he entered the castle, he didn’t know that a ghost hand with claws stretched out from the darkness and slowly closed the gate.
Looking at the portraits around him, he walked inside with a candle tray in his hand. Unknown to him, the eyes of the portraits behind him were moving slowly as he walked, and the corners of the portraits’ mouths slowly curled up into a smile. Click, the little boy looked back and saw that everything was normal in the portraits. The little boy continued to move forward, and when he left the corridor, a ghostly laugh was particularly harsh against the background of thunder.
The little boy slowly walked downstairs and entered the room. At this time, a nursery rhyme sounded. The little boy suddenly froze for a few seconds. He slowly walked to the desk in the middle of the classroom. When he sat on the chair, he seemed to be possessed and started singing the nursery rhyme. At this time, a black shadow came to him and stroked his head. At this time, the camera turned and the ghost nun’s face was facing the camera directly, screaming.
“Is this a new horror movie promo?”
“The one above me says you haven’t finished watching the video”
“This haunted house is quite interesting. I live in Qianhong City. Would you like to go there with me?”
“Don’t you think this little boy looks familiar?”
“This looks like the Dark City Gym Leader that Black Cloud City attacked earlier.”
“Are all the gyms so competitive now? A 10-year-old is already running a haunted house.”
“It seems like fun. I’ve wanted to challenge his gym before. Anyone want to join me?”
“Upstairs, let’s go together, let’s go together.”
With the end of the music and the final haunted house slogan, this is the haunted house promotional video starring Ling Yuan. With the release of the video, many people know about the existence of the haunted house, and many trainers also know about the unique side job of the new gym trainer.
As night fell, the lights in the haunted house gradually lit up, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding darkness. The residents of Dark City flocked to the haunted house. The faces of the adults were filled with anticipation and curiosity, but the children were mostly afraid. Ling Yuan stood at the door of the gym, smiling and greeting every visitor.
“Everyone get ready, the haunted house will be open today,” Ling Yuan looked at the elves gathered in front of him, jumping excitedly and making happy noises. They had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
The Raichus wore vests with the logo of the haunted house printed on them, and waved guide signs, which flashed as they performed electric shock techniques; the Luke cats imitated them, making everyone laugh; the three funny brothers were busy distributing small gifts to the guests to add to the atmosphere; the Grave Dogs quietly observed everything to protect the safety of the haunted house.
Many residents of Dark City had gathered outside. Since Ling Yuan helped solve the problem of fights in private gyms, many residents wanted to repay Ling Yuan. Ling Yuan did not agree. However, when Ling Yuan handed out flyers to them, they all said that they would come to support the opening. The mayor of Black Cloud City asked to come over to cut the ribbon for the haunted house in order to express his gratitude and make friends.
“Wow, this is really a haunted house!” A little girl held her mother’s hand and looked at the castle in front of them curiously.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” The mother stroked her daughter’s head while looking around curiously, looking forward to the next surprise.
“Welcome to the Haunted Horror House. This is the third year since our haunted house was established. We are very happy to come to Dark City and hope to bring a different horror experience to Dark City. Thank you again for coming.” As Ling Yuan and the mayor took turns speaking and cutting the ribbon, the guests began to line up to enter according to the guidance of the Raichus.
As groups of guests passed through the dark corridors, bypassed the terrifying portraits, and came to the creepy rooms one after another, the guests screamed and cheered, enjoying this terrifying and exciting adventure.
The three funny brothers continued to control the mechanisms and puppets in the three rooms, while Haunter directly possessed the puppets and chased the guests.
“Wow, there really is a ghost here!” A little boy was scared. Looking at the ghost nun rushing towards him from behind, he grabbed his brother’s hand and ran away frantically.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Although his brother was comforting the little boy, his feet began to speed up involuntarily.
“Brother, wait for me!” The little boy chased after his brother who was already running.
In the Death Swamp, a young couple is rowing a boat.
“Hurry up and row your boat. It looks so eerie here,” the girl nervously urged her boyfriend to leave quickly. It was obvious that she had just been scared.
“Then come and help,” the boyfriend looked at his girlfriend helplessly.
“You actually let a weak girl like me row the boat,” the girl pointed at her boyfriend in disbelief.
Splash! Waves began to surge on the water surface and the boat began to shake. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the water and grabbed the girl’s arm. The girl turned around and saw the water monkey doll in the water. She was so scared that she screamed on the spot.
“Help!” The girl punched the doll and broke free.
She rushed out and took the two oars from her boyfriend, and started to slide madly. The boat soared at an incredible speed, which scared the second child in the water. The second child watched the boat getting closer and closer to the shore, scratched his head with his hands, and it was incredible that a girl could have such a strong explosive power.
“Haha, this girl is really good. Even her boyfriend was shocked when she exploded,” Ling Yuan was speechless watching the surveillance video. It turns out that people’s potential is forced out.
“Little Mimi, after I officially become the museum owner, you will have to start working as well. Now learn from the work experience of your predecessors,” Ling Yuan said to Mimi Q who was staring at the screen next to him.
“Ka, ka, ka,” Mimikyu nodded, looked at the customers who were being chased in the surveillance video, and thought about how he would scare the customers when he was on stage.
With the opening of the haunted house, Ling Yuan plans to use the Death Field on the underground first floor as a gym challenge. Many gyms will set up different gym challenges. The most common ones are apprentice battles, or participating in gym activities, so as to select candidates for gym challenges.
In the Death Field, Lingyuan will hide three palm-sized badges with the gym logo and place them in different corners. The locations will be changed every time. They may be under the bed, inside the closet, or even on a doll. Challengers need to collect three badges within half an hour to be eligible to challenge the gym. Challengers cannot borrow the abilities of the elves or carry out large-scale destruction. Once destruction is carried out, they will lose the qualification to challenge.
Ling Yuan plans to let Mimikyu and Haunter take charge of this place after he becomes the official gym owner, and use the three funny brothers as battle Pokémons in the gym battles. However, he is also planning to capture some other ghost-type Pokémons as gym battle Pokémons. In this way, the three funny brothers can be responsible for the operation of the haunted house in the future.
With the opening of the haunted house, the development plan of Dark City was restarted, and the railway station connecting Qianhong City and Yuhong City also began to be rebuilt. Ling Yuan collected the panic energy and waited for the breakthrough of the Tomb Dog with peace of mind.
Chapter 20: Departure to Golden City (Old Version)
There are still three days until the gym assessment, at the top of the mountain behind the Dark Gym.
“Howl!” The Tomb Dog howled while standing on the top of the mountain, and the ghost energy covering its body soared into the sky.
As nearly two months passed, the Tomb Dog had absorbed all of Hound’s soul energy and successfully reached level 67 (late quasi-king stage). So Ling Yuan directly extracted the elf candies in the system and handed them to the Tomb Dog this morning.
When Muyang Dog ate the elf candy, he could clearly feel that the energy level in his body broke through without any bottleneck. Although he was very surprised how the breakthrough was so easy, out of trust in Lingyuan, he now concentrated on comprehending the new experience of his own Heavenly King’s Profound Meaning that emerged in his mind.
After the ghost energy on the Tomb Dog slowly subsided, Ling Yuan walked to the side of the Tomb Dog and stared at him.
Level skills: tomb sweeping, will-o’-the-wisp, …, destructive light, spiritual troubles, misfortunes never come singly.
This breakthrough not only allowed Mu Yang Dog to successfully reach the peak of the Quasi-King, but also allowed him to learn three new skills: Destructive Ray, Spiritual Triumph, and Misfortunes Never Come Singly, which are also very practical moves in combat.
“Congratulations, Little Candle. When your physique and skills are perfect, you can become the king,” Ling Yuan happily stroked Little Candle’s head.
“Woof woof woof,” Tomb Dog was also very happy. He had become stronger and could protect Ling Yuan better! Tomb Dog rubbed Ling Yuan’s arm with his big head. With Tomb Dog’s breakthrough, Ling Yuan had more confidence in the gym assessment a few days later.
“Little Candle, use the song of cursed spirits,” with Ling Yuan’s order, the Tomb Dog used the secret of the King of Heaven. This time, with the Tomb Dog as the center, many plants began to wither, and the range began to expand. A lot of life energy entered the Tomb Dog’s body.
“Little Candle, stop, and then use the coffin to explode,” Ling Yuan was also frightened when he saw the withered weeds nearby. One of the Tomb-raising Dog’s Heavenly King Secrets had already been perfected, so he continued to experiment with another Heavenly King Secret.
The Tomb Dog stopped singing and began to gather energy bombs on its head and shot them into the sky. With a bang, the energy bombs exploded like a group of dragon stars and attacked the ground. The Tomb Dog directly used its guard to protect Ling Yuan.
Boom! The entire back mountain shook. All the Pokémons in the gym looked towards the back mountain. They knew that Tomb Dog and Ling Yuan were training. Mimikyu looked towards the direction of the back mountain and continued to train in preparation for advancing to the later stage of the gym.
Looking at the nearby hilltop that had become bumpy, Ling Yuan roughly estimated the increased power of the Tomb Dog’s coffin explosion. Each energy bomb that had just been scattered was equivalent to the attack power of the Tomb Dog’s full-strength attack, and the attack range was about 500 meters. If the energy bomb was fired as a full-strength attack, the attack power would be comparable to that of an early Heavenly King elf. This could probably be used as a killer.
“Little Candle, let’s go back and rest first. You can practice the new moves you learned nearby tonight,” Ling Yuan sat on the back of the Tomb Dog and gave the instructions to return to the gym.
When he returned to the gym’s entrance, the elves all came to the door to greet him. Mainly because the noise just now was too loud, the elves were curious about the changes in the Grave Dog. Looking at the Grave Dog sharing the joy and experience of breakthrough with other elves, Ling Yuan felt relieved. The test given to him by Grandma Kikuko was also very stressful. He didn’t know what the scene would be like when fighting with the senior investigator.
The next morning, Lingyuan came to the door of the gym. The elves prepared to send Lingyuan to Golden City to take the assessment. The three funny brothers and the Raichus were left behind to continue operating the haunted house, while Rotom temporarily managed the haunted house and dealt with emergencies. He only took Graveyard, Mimikyu, Lucky Cat and Haunter with him to take the gym assessment.
“Okay everyone, we’re ready to set off,” Ling Yuan said goodbye to the elves who stayed behind.
“Rotom, I’ll ask you to take care of me while I’m away.”
“Beep, please leave it to me. I wish you success in passing the gym assessment, Mr. Lingyuan,” Rotom assured Lingyuan on the electronic screen at the gate.
Ling Yuan waved goodbye to the elves and prepared to take a car to Golden Yellow City.
It was already evening when they arrived at Jinhuang City. Ling Yuan got off the car and looked at Jinhuang City, which was still as bustling as it was during the day. He felt emotional as he had just left and was back again not long ago.
Ling Yuan looked at the sky and was too lazy to run to the villa, so he went directly to the Pokémon Center to spend the night.
Ding Dong, “Sister Lan, I’m back,” Ling Yuan walked into the Pokémon Center and said directly to Miss Joy.
“Oh, I’m not cousin Lan, you must be brother Xiaoyuan. I’m Qiaoya, nice to meet you!” Qiaoya greeted Lingyuan in surprise.
“Sister Ya, isn’t Sister Lan here?” Ling Yuan changed his words immediately after realizing he had recognized the wrong person.
“Cousin Lan, her vacation is over. She received a mission as a gym inspector and senior investigator and went to Johto,” Qiaoya directly explained to Lingyuan where Qiao Yilan was going.
“Oh, is that so? Sister Ya, how come Sister Lan, as a king-level trainer, has been staying in Golden Yellow City all this time?” Ling Yuan asked curiously.
“Well, cousin Lan has been working on the front line for almost five years. Her original elf, Xiao Yunduo, became pregnant, so she asked to find a place to rest. The elders in the family arranged for her to go to Jinhuang City. Although it is busy here, it has the most complete facilities and is convenient for her to shop,” Qiao Ya also knew the relationship between Ling Yuan and Qiao Yilan, and she explained Qiao Yilan’s situation to Ling Yuan out of love for her.
“Oh, so that’s how it is. Sister Ya, please help me get a room. I’ll rest here for the next two days,” Ling Yuan handed the atlas to Qiao Yiya.
“Brother Xiaoyuan, are you preparing to take the gym leader assessment?” Qiaoya asked curiously.
“Huh? You know?” Ling Yuan was very surprised. Although his information as a candidate for the gym owner was exposed, the time and location of the test were still kept secret.
“I’m guessing. You don’t know that your reputation has been known to many families. As the grandson of King Kikuko, you are not only a quasi-king-level trainer, but you also don’t know that Hualan and Nibi have been criticized because of you!” Joyya said with a gossipy look on her face.
“Huh? What does Hualan and Nibi being criticized have to do with me?” Ling Yuan asked curiously.
“The Nibe Gym is a little better. The acting gym leader, Xiaogang, is a decent coach, but not really strong. The Cerulean has been cut off from its current generation. None of the four Cerulean sisters have trainer talent recognized by the top management. As a result, your sudden appearance gave them a big stimulus. They said that Cerulean has fallen to the point where it has to rely on water ballet to attract traffic, and that Cerulean Gym is the weakest gym in Kanto. Even the grandma Hua behind the Cerulean Gym is angry and plans to personally coach her granddaughter to defeat you in the future gym championship,” Joya explained.
“Are you kidding me? It’s their own problem. What does it have to do with me?” Ling Yuan was speechless. How could he get shot even when he was lying down?
“I can’t help it. Who is the King of Chrysanthemum? He showed you off in front of Granny Hua when he attended the tea party of the Grannies,” Joya explained. (Granny Hua, the former gym leader of the Cerulean Gym, a King-level trainer)
“I heard from the ancestors that Grandma Hua’s face turned green at that time. The girls in her family were just pretty faces. Later, it was rumored that she wanted to train a qualified museum owner to defeat you,” Qiao Ya looked at Ling Yuan with gloating eyes.
Ling Yuan was quite speechless. Did his grandmother have a grudge against him? He made enemies everywhere. Aren’t you afraid that I will be crushed by your love?
Ling Yuan took the key and said goodbye to Qiao Ya, and went directly to the room in the Pokémon Center to rest. When he was about to go to bed, Nancy in the Golden Gym looked in the direction of the Pokémon Center.
“Brother Xiao Yuan, see you tomorrow!”
Chapter 21: Goodbye, Nancy (Old Version)
The next morning, Ling Yuan planned to go to the Golden Gym to meet Nancy, and then go shopping.
When Ling Yuan came to the gate of the Golden Gym again, he saw that the door was already open. As a king-level superpower user, it was basically difficult for Nancy to escape her perception inside Golden City. Ling Yuan walked into the gym and came to the gym’s battle site again. He could see that Nancy was already waiting for him.
“Sister Nazi, long time no see, you are still so radiant!”
“Brother Xiaoyuan, we’ve only been apart for a few months and yet something big has happened!” Nazi smiled as she looked at her brother in front of her.
“Well, you already know everything. I just ran into it by chance, but who knew it would turn out like this,” Ling Yuan scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
“Sister Nazhi, do you know what happened next? Grandma didn’t contact me,” Ling Yuan asked curiously. Since she knew about his affairs, with Nazhi’s status and power, she should be able to know the whole story.
“Of course I know. You must have been the one who reported those five congressmen!” Nazi looked at Ling Yuan with amusement.
“Well, you know all this, it won’t spread, right?” Ling Yuan suddenly felt a little nervous, because the pressure of reporting local councillors is still very high. After all, in the Kanto region, a family or individual who can become a councillor must at least have champion-level Pokémon. He is just a quasi-king trainer, and it would be very dangerous if the other party plays dirty.
“Not really. I mainly received a notice from King Kikuko and took action to deal with a group of people staying in Jinhuang City,” said Naz.
“Huh? Why do we need to deal with the people in Jinhuang City?” Ling Yuan was very surprised, because Jinhuang City was not involved when he reported it.
“You don’t think that just executing the main culprit is enough, right? Anyone who was involved in this matter has been dealt with this time. Even the five councillors you mentioned have been exterminated.”
Although Nazi said it calmly, Lingyuan could hear how wide the incident was and how many people died. Lingyuan didn’t expect that just because he handed over the black material, his grandmother was so powerful that she directly cleaned up the families of five congressmen. Lingyuan also shuddered.
“Xiao Yuan, you are going to take the test tomorrow. Are you confident?” Nazi crossed her legs and looked at Ling Yuan with interest.
“Well, I think there should be no problem,” the fact that Mu Yang Dog reached the peak of Quasi-King also gave Ling Yuan enough confidence.
“Release all the elves and let me see them,” Nancy directly asked Lingyuan to release all the elves.
Bang! As the Poké Ball opened, Haunter, Vagrant, Mimikyu and Luckycat appeared in front of Nancy and Lingyuan. Mimikyu and Luckycat, who had just come out, looked around and found that it was an unfamiliar environment. Haunter and Vagrant recognized the place they were in but didn’t react. The moment Vagrant saw Nancy, it immediately rushed out to protect Lingyuan and Luckycat behind it. She could feel a terrible threat from the woman in front of her, and she might not be a match for this female human even if she attacked.
“Little Mimi, it’s okay. This is my sister, don’t be nervous,” Ling Yuan immediately went to comfort Mimi Q who had already used the gavel.
“Haha, a different-colored Mimikyu, and it immediately sensed my strength, very good,” Nancy commented as she looked at the Mimikyu in attacking stance in front of her.
“Sister Nancy, this is what I gained from the power plant. Her story is…” After comforting Mimikyu, Ling Yuan introduced Mimikyu’s story to Nancy, as well as the whole story of this incident.
After hearing the whole story, Nancy walked down from the throne, stopped in front of Mimikyu, squatted down, and gently stroked Mimikyu’s cloth bag with her hand.
“You are a great mother. Xiao Yuan will need you to protect him from now on.”
After listening to Mimikyu’s past and present lives, Nancy thought of her mother. Although she had turned the other person into a doll for so many years, her mother was still concerned about her situation first after she removed the doll form. After the unification of Nancy’s personality, she had a little more humanity than before, which allowed her to understand the power of emotions again. This is why she is grateful to Lingyuan in her heart. If Lingyuan had not forcibly pulled her back, she would have a great possibility of closing her emotions in the future and falling into darkness.
Mimi Q nodded with the cloth bag. The moment Ling Yuan helped her get revenge, she had decided that she would protect Ling Yuan in this life. Not only was Lekemao her child, but Ling Yuan was also her family.
Nancy looked at GraveHound and Haunter. When she saw GraveHound, she was surprised to find that the other party had reached the peak of the quasi-king level. She turned around and looked at Lingyuan seriously.
“Brother Xiaoyuan, can you explain to me how Xiaozhu could have grown so fast?” Nazi looked at Lingyuan with a frown. After all, he was only at the middle-level Quasi-King two months ago. Did you eat up the high-level Quasi-King and directly reach the peak of Quasi-King? Nazi was worried that her brother would resort to some forbidden means because of the pressure of the assessment.
“Well, Xiao Zhuzhu ate all the elf souls of Hunter Z. After digesting them, maybe he was able to make a breakthrough and directly reached the peak of Quasi-King. I was shocked,” Ling Yuan began to lie with his eyes open.
“Brother Xiaoyuan, do you think I’m easy to fool?” Nazi looked at Lingyuan with a smile. Lingyuan knew that he was in trouble. Nazi zipped her mouth and Lingyuan found that he could not speak.
“Come out, Alakazam,” Nancy directly released her trump card, Alakazam.
Features: Magical Defense
Level: 76 (mid-level Heavenly King)
Level skills: telekinesis, spoon bending, immobilization, instant movement, etc.
The secrets of the King of Heaven: mental ripples, mental barrier, mental blast, and teleportation.
“Alakazam, check on the little candle,” Nancy said to Alakazam.
Alakazam crossed its two spoons, and pink ripples emerged and covered the Graveyard Hound. After a few minutes, Alakazam opened his eyes and shook his head at Nancy. Nancy opened her hand, and Ling Yuan found that he could speak again.
“Sister Nazi, what are you doing?” Ling Yuan said to Nazi.
“Brother Xiaoyuan, you have a secret too, tell me! How did Xiaozhu break through so quickly?” Nancy stared at Lingyuan. Just now, after Alakazam’s inspection, Alakazam discovered that Tomb Dog did not break through by force, or use banned drugs to consume talent in exchange for strength. Instead, it seemed to be a natural breakthrough.
“Um, can I not say it? Sister Nazi, can you just pretend you didn’t see it?” Ling Yuan acted cute in front of Nazi. Although acting cute was shameful, it was a necessary skill (shamelessness) that a corporate slave had to learn.
“Okay, I’m too lazy to go into it. You can explain it to King Kikuko yourself,” Nancy also knew that this was Lingyuan’s secret, but who doesn’t have secrets?
“Sister Nazhi, my grandma is here too,” Ling Yuan suddenly felt a little nervous when he heard that Ju Zi was also here.
“You will see her tomorrow after you finish the assessment. I won’t talk to her. You go and explain it to her yourself,” Nancy walked back to the throne.
“Sister Nazhi, you are the best,” Ling Yuan said cutely with his big, Caroline eyes.
While Ling Yuan was still chatting with Nancy, in the Trainer Association on the other side of Golden City.
“Hello, it’s me,” Kikuko was talking on the phone with someone in the room of the Trainer’s Association.
“What else do you want?” the man on the other end of the phone said impatiently.
“Are you still blaming me for not rescuing your sister?” Kikuko said in a rare calm tone.
“……., I don’t blame you, I just hate that I’m not strong enough to kill that bastard,” the other party said after a moment of silence.
“Come over tomorrow and give Xiao Yuan a test. His current strength is not yet at the peak of the Quasi-King level. You can give him some guidance,” Kikuko stated her request.
“Are you going to let him join the Vigil? He’s still a child, why can’t you keep him away from all this,” the man was already a little angry.
“He is Xiaoya’s child. We can’t protect him forever. His talents are more than that. You are his uncle,” Kikuko said calmly.
“I,…, I understand, I will go, Teacher Kikuko, I hope everything is fine,” the man hung up the phone.
Kikuko looked at the hung up phone and sighed, then looked at the ID card on the table with Ling Yuan’s name written on it.
Chapter 22: Shopping and Evolutionary Planning (Old Edition)
As Ling Yuan and Nazhi finished their chat, Ling Yuan said goodbye and prepared to go to Golden Yellow City for some shopping. Ling Yuan left the Golden Yellow Gym and walked directly towards the city.
Golden City is a huge city in Kanto with many connections. It is located in the center where Cerulean City, Jade Rainbow City, Vermillion City and Aster Town meet. Golden City is the largest and busiest city in the entire Kanto region, and is also very famous in other regions. The huge Silver Corporation headquarters building stands in the center of the city, and there are two gyms occupying the northeast corner of the city. This is not only the central business district of Kanto, but also has the largest infrastructure in the region, including a maglev train station connecting Kanto and Johto.
When it was almost noon, Ling Yuan was holding various packaging bags in his hands. Since Mimikyu and Lucky Cat had never been to a big city, Ling Yuan took them to see the scenery of a modern city. When they arrived at the door of a cake shop, they saw Chino Chinchilla and Pachilis in work clothes soliciting customers at the door. Many people gathered there watching them being cute. Seeing a place next to them, Ling Yuan put the things there and went in to buy cakes.
“Paz, Paz,” “Ah, ah,” when Ling Yuan came back with the cake, he saw Pachirisu and Luckycat chatting. Electric currents were intertwined in their bodies. This is the special way of communication of electric Pokémons.
“Luke Cat, you’ve made a new friend,” Ling Yuan put the cake on the table and said to Luke Cat.
“Ahhh,” Lukecat shook his head and aloofly ignored Pachirisu.
“Paz, Paz,” Pachilis saw Ling Yuan bought his cake, thanked Ling Yuan and his hands, and then went to attract customers with Chino Chinchilla.
“Lucky Cat, try it. This is the most popular cake in this store,” Ling Yuan placed a Pachiliss-shaped cake in front of Lucky Cat.
“Meow, meow,” Luke Cat took a bite and a happy smile appeared on his face.
“Lucky Cat, do you think Pachilis has a crush on you? I saw Pachilis’s face was a little red just now,” Ling Yuan said jokingly to Lucky Cat.
“Click, click, click,” Mimikyuu who was watching carefully from the side, nodded. Her son’s looks were like his father’s, and he was not bad at all among electrical elves. She thought it was normal that little girls liked him.
“Meow!” Leke Cat suddenly became shy, as if a cat whose tail was stepped on. Ling Yuan and Mimi Q looked at Leke Cat’s reaction and smiled at each other, then continued to share the cake.
After eating the cake, Ling Yuan took the elves to the largest elf props company in Jinhuang City, Silver Company.
Silver is a leader in the Pokémon world, creating the basic technology of Poké Balls and continuously expanding and innovating on this basis. In addition, Silver has also developed move learning devices, wound medicine, escape ropes, sprays, upgrade data and other portable items. They also accept private customization of Pokémon props. After all, Pokémons are in all kinds of strange situations, and many high-level trainers are willing to spend a lot of money to customize the highest-level props to help Pokémons evolve in order to help them make better breakthroughs.
“Hello, welcome to Hillford Company. How can I help you?” said the beautiful receptionist with a smile.
“Hello, I need to customize the elf props,” Ling Yuan looked at the other party.
“Um, hello, do you have an appointment?” The beautiful woman found that the other person was a child, but still maintained a professional smile.
“This is my illustrated book. I’ve already reserved it a few days ago.” He directly showed the information that Rotom had helped him reserve a few days ago.
“Okay, Mr. Lingyuan, please wait a moment, our manager will be here soon,” the beautiful woman said to Lingyuan after scanning the atlas.
When Lingyuan and the manager entered the reception room together, Lingyuan sat on the sofa and Leke cat lay beside Lingyuan.
“Hello, Mr. Lingyuan, we have received the design drawings you sent. The total value of this equipment is about 200,000, and the Thunder Stone and Lightning Essence you ordered are worth a total of 3.8 million Alliance Coins. Are you sure you want to start production?” The manager introduced the equipment to Lingyuan in detail, as well as the total cost.
When the first signs of evolution appeared in Leke Cat, Ling Yuan was planning how to help Leke Cat evolve and improve his potential. If electrical elves want to improve their potential, there are two channels.
The first is natural lightning. Electric elves in the wild will absorb natural thunder. If you can endure the training of the body and the expansion of the electric capsule, it is possible to improve your potential, but the failure rate is also very high.
The second is to absorb the natural treasure of lightning – the essence of lightning. This is a gem-like energy crystal that often appears in areas where thunder occurs frequently. It is an advanced product of the Thunder Stone. If the electric elves can absorb the essence of lightning during evolution, their potential can be improved through the precipitation of time.
Lingyuan and Rotom designed and developed a special lightning rod based on the data of the Lekecats and Raichus. There are 5 platforms under the lightning rod, where the Lekecats and Raichus will wait for the baptism of thunder in the future. The electric current will be dispersed through the lightning rod, while the Lekecats will absorb the essence of lightning to enhance their potential. The Thunder Stone is prepared for the Raichus, and the location for future evolution is found through research on the large plains of Little Orange Island, where thunderstorms often occur, which is the best place for evolution.
“Okay, we have received the remittance. Your equipment and items will arrive at the Dark Gym in a week,” Ling Yuan said after he paid the money. The manager respectfully sent Ling Yuan out of Silver Company.
“Meow, meow,” Leke the cat looked at Ling Yuan with a conflicted heart. Although he had never lived in human society, he still knew that Ling Yuan had spent a lot of money so that he could evolve.
“Kachaka,” Mimikyu was also worried.
“It’s okay, this is the money left by the black-hearted mayor at that time,” Ling Yuan squatted down and whispered to Mimi Q and the others.
Lingyuan was going to give all the stolen money obtained from Heiyun City to Kikuko, but Kikuko was too lazy to pay attention to it and asked Lingyuan to send it to her using an anonymous bank card. Then the money became Lingyuan’s pocket money and was deposited into Lingyuan’s atlas.
“Okay, we still have somewhere to go, so let’s have fun today,” Ling Yuan touched the heads of Mimikyu and Leke Cat.
After hearing Ling Yuan’s words and knowing the whole story, Mimikyu and Lekemao continued to wander around Golden City with Ling Yuan. When they came to the fighting gym next to the Golden Gym, looking at the wooden door that was already a bit old, Ling Yuan sighed and knocked on the door.
“Who is it? Wait a minute,” came a powerful voice.
“Brother Wude, it’s me, Lingyuan,” Lingyuan shouted inside.
“Oh, it’s Xiao Yuan, why are you here? Wait,” Wu De’s voice came quickly towards the door.
Ba Da, a Wu De wearing karate clothes, a red turban on his head and a beard stood in front of Ling Yuan.
“Xiao Yuan, why are you here? Aren’t you going to the Dark City to become a gym owner?” Wu De looked at Ling Yuan strangely.
“My assessment is in Jinhuang City, so I thought I’d come over to see if Master Kenji and Master Tsuneshi are doing okay?”
Kenji and Tsuneshi are the former owners of the Golden City Fighting Gym. Both of them are king-level trainers, and they own two mid-level king-level Flying Kicks and Fast Punches. However, they have both retired and handed over the fighting gym to the big brother Wude in front of them.
He has a strong talent in karate, but his talent as a trainer is very average. After Nancy became a king-level trainer, the top leaders of Golden City believed that a king-level trainer was needed to continue to maintain the safety of Golden City, so they arranged a battle between Nancy and Takeshi. The result was obvious that Takeshi was completely defeated, and the fighting gym was disqualified. Master Kenji and Master Tsuneshi could not bully the weak, so it remained to be seen whether Takeshi could get over this hurdle on his own.
When Ling Yuan first came to Jinhuang City, he had just come out of Kikuko’s devilish training and was full of hostility, so he came to challenge the fighting gym. However, it was not a battle between elves, but a real person PK. At that time, the murderous Ling Yuan scared them all, and they thought he was here to challenge them.
“Master Kenji and Master Tsushima are going to visit Master Si in the Johto region.”
“Xiao Yuan, I still remember how you looked when you first came to challenge the fighting gym. Now it seems that your hostility has been restrained,” Wu De sighed as he looked at Ling Yuan in front of him.
“Alas, it’s all thanks to Master Kenji and Master Tsuneshi. If they hadn’t taught me how to vent my emotions at the time, I think it would have taken me a much longer time to recover,” Ling Yuan replied.
“But congratulations, you are going to become a gym leader too,” Wu De sincerely congratulated Ling Yuan.
“Brother Wude, you haven’t come to terms with it yet. Master Kenji and Master Tsuneshi won’t mind you losing your gym qualification,” Lingyuan persuaded Wude.
“Alas, Master and the others have told me that I have been concentrating on my own training and neglecting Frog and the others. This is also my dereliction of duty as a trainer,” Wu De took Ling Yuan and walked into the house.
Ling Yuan felt uncomfortable watching the Flying Kick Lang and the Fast Punch Lang exercising in unison. After all, without the subsidy from the gym owner, the Fighting Gym simply couldn’t support so many Pokémons, so there was a situation where challenging the Fighting Gym to give away Pokémons.
“By the way, Brother Wude, where is Brother Xinyan? Where did he go?” Ling Yuan looked around but didn’t see any acquaintances.
“He has gone to the mountains to practice again, and I was thinking that I would embark on my journey when he comes back,” Wu De explained to Ling Yuan.
Nobuhiko is Ah Si’s apprentice. Everyone calls him the “Karate King”. He is also one of the candidate masters of the fighting gym. However, because Wu De was defeated by Nancy, he stayed outside for a long time in the hope that he could have a chance to defeat Nancy in the future through training and finding talented fighting-type Pokémon.
“Okay, Brother Nobuhiko hasn’t changed. Brother Wu De, I think you can try to be a gym leader in other cities in the future. Brother Fujiki is the gym leader in Hoenn, and I think you can go ask him. He should have a way to help you solve the problem of the Flying Kick Man and the Fast Punch Man,” Ling Yuan still persuaded.
“I understand what you mean, but as a martial artist, I also have my own persistence. I still don’t want to rely on the relationship with my master,” Wu De replied stubbornly.
“Okay, I won’t persuade you anymore. But I still say the same thing. I’m going to become a gym owner. Although I’m just starting out, you can come to me if you need anything,” Ling Yuan said to Wu De seriously.
After Lingyuan finished chatting with Wude, he took the elves back to Pokémon and put all the things he bought today into the space backpack. Looking at the setting sun, Lingyuan was thinking about tomorrow’s gym leader assessment.
Chapter 23: Golden City’s Gymnasium Master Assessment (Old Version)
The next morning, Ling Yuan came out of the Pokémon Center and walked towards the Trainer Association in Golden City.
The Trainer’s Association is an administrative office established by the Pokémon League. Its main responsibilities are to help with trainer qualification certification, task delegation, or trainer communication platform, etc.
The assessment of Lingyuan’s museum owner is divided into three parts. The first part is a written test: it mainly assesses the museum owner’s responsibilities, the museum owner’s rules and regulations, and the rules for maintaining the safety of the city.
The second part is the Pokémon level certification. To become a gym owner, you must be a gym-level trainer and own at least three gym-level Pokémon. Some important cities need to be guarded by quasi-king or king-level trainers. As a future transportation hub, the Dark City Gym must have a quasi-king-level trainer.
The third part is the battle between quasi-kings specially added by King Kikuko. Normally, it is handled by the gym prosecutor, but this time it is an exception.
When Ling Yuan walked to the entrance of the Trainer’s Association, he could see a dome-shaped building with a huge alliance logo on it. It was surrounded by trainers who brought their Pokémon to handle business.
When Ling Yuan walked into the association, he could see the association’s reception desk. On the left was a public computer that could be used to query commissions issued by associations, companies and individuals. This was also the source of income for many ordinary trainers. Next to it was a large screen that could be used to view the tasks that were being processed and the progress of the tasks.
On the right is the coffee area, where many trainers sit together with their Pokémons to chat or exchange information.
Ling Yuan walked to the reception desk and saw the front desk staff handling their respective business.
“Hello, how can I help you?” The receptionist greeted Ling Yuan politely when he saw him coming.
“Hello, I’m Ling Yuan, and I’m here to take the Gym Leader Assessment. This is my invitation letter,” Ling Yuan directly handed the alliance’s invitation letter to the other party.
“Please wait a moment,” the staff member was a little surprised and took the invitation letter and ID.
After checking everything, the staff led Ling Yuan to the elevator of the association. Although Ling Yuan’s voice was not loud, it was still heard by many trainers.
“Do you think that person is really a candidate for gym leader? He looks so young,” a trainer asked his friend.
“That should be the case. Didn’t you see that even the invitation letter was taken out?” the other party said a little uncertainly.
“You don’t even know the candidate for the Dark City Gym Leader,” the middle-aged man at the next table replied directly.
“Hmm? Tell me in detail. He is a candidate for the gym leader of Dark City. How strong is he?” The young trainer directly ordered a cup of coffee for the other party in the hope of knowing more information.
“You should know about the explosion that occurred in Black Cloud City.”
“Of course I remember. I remember it was quite a big commotion, but we were in the wild at the time and didn’t see it in detail.”
“No wonder. The gym leader of this Dark City is quite a genius. He is only 10 years old, but he is already a quasi-king-level trainer. At that time, the League sent him to encircle and suppress the wanted criminal Hunter Z. His battle video was exposed. The secondary explosion of the power plant was caused by his fierce battle with Hunter Z.”
“What, a quasi-elite trainer? I’m almost 25 years old and I’m already an elite trainer,” the young trainer was stunned. Such a young quasi-elite trainer is quite rare.
“That’s right. I’m almost 40 years old and I just broke through to the gym leader level. Sometimes you just have to compare and contrast,” the middle-aged trainer who spoke was quite helpless.
“I heard that many people want to become famous by clearing each other’s gyms. Do you have any ideas?”
“Really? I don’t have such an idea. How can someone who can reach the level of quasi-king at this age not have some skills? Besides, many gym owners are quite strict when the gyms are just opened. I won’t go looking for trouble!” The trainer who had been silent nearby suddenly spoke up.
“That’s right. You are still young. I plan to complete missions for another year or two and then retire. I will save up enough points to find a better starting elf for the child.”
Middle-aged trainers are ready to leave the training profession. This is also the norm in society. The road to becoming a trainer is full of thorns and brambles for most people. Only true geniuses can reach the top, while the vast majority will be lost in the crowd.
“By the way, what missions were you doing before? You didn’t even know about such a big thing,” this time it was the middle-aged man’s turn to become curious.
“Oh, forget it. It was an exploration mission. It was said that an unmanned power plant near Vermilion City suddenly started up for no reason, and gathered a large number of electric-type Pokémon. The Alliance issued a mission before, saying it was to investigate and mark the map. We went to try it at that time, but we ended up in trouble. We didn’t know what happened to those Pokémon, they were quite aggressive. The two of us were besieged three times on the periphery. If my friend’s Pokémon wasn’t an electric-type Pokémon, we would both be dead,” the young trainer also complained bitterly.
“Later, this mission was upgraded to above the gym level, so we had no choice but to leave Vermilion City and come to Golden City to see if there are any better missions and take a break,” his friend added.
“For those above the museum owner level, what about the remuneration? Are there any changes?” the middle-aged man asked curiously.
“At the beginning it was Association Points, and I heard that many people returned empty-handed, so they changed it to Thunder Stones, but it’s still the same. I heard that some gym master-level trainers were also eliminated. The mission progress is slow, so this time we changed it to a better reward, which is the exchange rights of the Big Three of the Alliance. Of course, I guess the qualifications are not very good. I heard that there are many problematic Pokémon that were left over by others,” explained the young trainer.
“Are you qualified to redeem from the three great families?” The middle-aged man touched his chin thoughtfully.
In this way, the middle-aged man and the two young men continued to share the interesting stories they encountered in the wild, and the trainers nearby continued to do their own things.
Ling Yuan and the staff had already arrived in a room. The design of this room was very similar to the examination room in his previous life, with a table and chair and a fixed clock in the middle. When Ling Yuan sat down, the staff left and another middle-aged man walked in.
“Hello, Mr. Ling Yuan, I am the examiner for this gym leader assessment. Please lock the Poké Ball on your body and put it in the isolation cabinet in front. You will have 10 minutes to prepare. The written test will take two hours, and you will have a battle test in the afternoon,” the examiner shook hands with Ling Yuan, introduced the test rules, and then took out the Poké Ball.
Bang, the Poké Ball opened, and an artificial egg cell came out of it. Although it looked harmless, in Ling Yuan’s eyes…
Elf: Artificial Egg Cell
Level: 65 (mid-level quasi-king)
Level skills: telekinesis, self-regeneration, …
This is a mid-level quasi-king psychic Pokémon, probably used to prevent cheating. This also indirectly shows the importance the alliance places on assessments.
As the timer began, Ling Yuan opened the test paper, which reminded him of the memories of the civil service examination in his previous life. Seeing that the questions in front of him were all about the responsibilities of the museum owner, Ling Yuan answered them quickly.
The artificial egg cell was floating on the podium, and the invigilator was observing Ling Yuan’s reaction. The invigilator was a member of the gym inspectors. Originally, tasks like invigilation would not have been his turn, but he was entrusted by his old boss to ensure the fairness of the exam. The alliance still had many concerns about Ling Yuan, a 10-year-old child, becoming a gym leader.
Worried that he would not be able to ensure his responsibilities as the owner of the museum, the invigilator was impressed by the other party’s answers. After all, the civil service exam requires a high level of personal accumulation, but the other party was only 10 years old but had many mature ideas and was familiar with the alliance system. The invigilator no longer paid attention to the other party’s answers and focused on completing the task given by his old boss.
Two hours later, Ling Yuan handed the test paper to the other party, left the examination room with the Poké Ball, and went to the hall to wait for the practical test in the afternoon.
Chapter 24: The Final Test of the Gym Leader (Old Version)
As time passed, it was already 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Ling Yuan was sitting in the coffee break of the Trainers Association. Many trainers were looking at Ling Yuan and whispering, probably because they were curious about his identity and strength.
“Please wait at the reception desk, Mr. Ling Yuan. Please wait at the reception desk, Mr. Ling Yuan.”
Ling Yuan heard the broadcast, finished his coffee, got up and went to the reception desk. The staff who had just led him to the examination room was already waiting for him.
“Hello, Mr. Lingyuan, nice to see you again. I will take you to the elf level certification. Please follow me,” the staff took Lingyuan to the basement of the association, which is where the association conducts energy level tests and data recording.
“Mr. Lingyuan, please release the elf and stand on the platform opposite,” the staff took Lingyuan to a large instrument.
Bang, Ling Yuan released GraveHound, Mimikyu, and Haunter. The staff adjusted the equipment for scanning, and when the data came out, they were level 70, level 56, and level 43 respectively.
The staff member was also quite surprised when he got the data, because he only knew that the other party was a quasi-king trainer, but he didn’t know that he had already reached the peak of the quasi-king and could become a young king-level trainer at any time.
“Okay, Mr. Lingyuan, your Pokémon data has been recorded. When your final assessment is over, you will receive a Quasi-Chancellor Trainer certificate certified by the association,” the staff member sent Lingyuan back to the reception room more respectfully than before, waiting for the final battle assessment.
As time passed, Ling Yuan was notified at four o’clock in the afternoon to participate in the final assessment. The location of this assessment was at the battle field in the center of the association, which was usually used by trainers for exhibition matches or private training. It was more solid than ordinary battle fields, and the energy shield could withstand the bombardment of King-level Pokémon. Of course, the cost of using it was also quite expensive.
When Ling Yuan arrived at the battle field, he could already see a trainer in his 40s standing opposite him. He was wearing a black baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses, and a black combat camouflage uniform. Ling Yuan could see purple hair sticking out from his hat. His face had a very serious expression. A professional referee was standing next to him holding a command flag.
“What will begin now is the practical assessment of the Dark City Gym Master. The assessment content is a 1v1 battle. When one of the elves loses the ability to fight, the assessment ends. This battle is an unregulated battle. This battle ends at a point. Now both parties, please release the elves, and the challenger will be the first to attack.” After reading out the rules, the referee raised the referee flag and asked both parties to release the elves.
Bang, bang, Ling Yuan directly released the Tomb Dog, “Little Candle, prepare for battle!”
“Roar!” The Tomb Dog appeared on the field and bared its teeth at the ferocious beast opposite.
“Gru!” A huge standing crocodile with red and black stripes and three hooked claws appeared on the field. It was a rogue crocodile.
This rogue crocodile gives people a very strong sense of oppression. Ordinary rogue crocodiles are 1.5 meters tall, but this one is nearly 1.8 meters. There are many scars on its body, and there are three scratches on its left eye. It looks very ferocious.
Elf: Rogue Crocodile
Attributes: Ground + Dark
Level: Level 70 (quasi-king peak)
Level skills: Quicksand Abyss, Dig Hole, Crunch, Bite, Dragon Claw, Shadow Claw, Earthquake, Cleave, …
Inherited Skill: Self-Sacrifice Charge
Uranus’ Secret Technique: The giant jaws crush and the earth surges.
“Roar!” As the intimidation feature of the rogue crocodile was activated, the pressure of the peak quasi-king came over, and the Tomb Dog also released his own pressure to confront the opponent head-on. The referee was outside the energy shield, and next to him was Alakazam, who had also reached the peak of the quasi-king, blocking the pressure for him.
“Little Candle, sneak attack, frozen teeth,” Ling Yuan directly issued the attack order, and the Tomb Dog disappeared immediately, preparing to gather ice energy in its mouth and ready to bite directly at the rogue crocodile.
“Rogue crocodile, dig a hole, quicksand abyss,” the opponent directly commanded the rogue crocodile to dive into the ground and disappear on the site. Desertification began with the hole as the center, and slowly turned into a quicksand vortex that spread to the entire site. The Tomb Dog had to show its true form and use ghost energy to prevent itself from being entangled in the quicksand.
“Rogue crocodile, use bite,” the rogue crocodile swam in the sand like a fish, and its big mouth gathered evil energy and rushed towards the Tomb Dog. The moment the rogue crocodile was about to bite the Tomb Dog, the Tomb Dog directly used guard to protect its body.
Boom! The energy exploded directly. The Rogue Crocodile and the Tomb Dog were blown away by the energy wave. The Quicksand Abyss also stagnated. “Little Candle, explode towards the coffin in the sky,” Ling Yuan directly ordered the Tomb Dog to use its ultimate move.
As the energy bomb hit the sky, the energy exploded and hit the ground like a meteor.
“Rogue Crocodile, use Earth Surge,” with the order, the Rogue Crocodile adjusted his body shape, and the sand centered on the Rogue Crocodile surged like waves. The sand directly covered the Rogue Crocodile, and the energy bomb directly hit the sand and exploded.
Boom! The entire venue was filled with smoke and dust, blocking the view. When the smoke dissipated, only the rogue crocodile reappeared on the field, and the tomb dog had disappeared.
“Little Candle, ultimate impact,” Ling Yuan issued the order.
The rogue crocodile suddenly looked behind him and found that the Tomb Dog had appeared behind him at some point. It turned out that the Heavenly King’s Secret Technique just now was a sleight of hand. At the moment when the rogue crocodile used sand to defend himself, the Tomb Dog used its digging skill to sneak into the sand and used its sneak attack to eliminate the movement, so that the rogue crocodile who was concentrating on defense did not notice it.
Bang! The rogue crocodile was knocked away by the Tomb Dog. He rolled several times on the sand and stood up again, but one of his arms was injured and he couldn’t lift it.
“Rogue crocodile, bite it to pieces with your giant jaws,” the middle-aged man had a calm face as he directed the rogue crocodile to launch the final attack.
The rogue crocodile opened his mouth wide, and evil energy gathered and covered his body, like a huge dragon head with a bloody mouth, rushing towards the tomb dog.
Ling Yuan could tell that this was the opponent’s final blow, “Little Candle, the coffin explodes.”
Using the last of its strength, Tomb Dog fired an energy bomb that was comparable to an early Heavenly King’s attack at Rogue Crocodile. The energy collision created a terrible shock wave. The energy shield of the venue had lit up, isolating the impact inside. As the smoke and dust dissipated, Tomb Dog and Rogue Crocodile both stood on the sand and looked at each other.
“Gru! Gru!” The rogue crocodile gasped, blood flowing from his arms, and he made a threatening gesture.
“Roar! Roar!” The tomb dog was also exhausted and stared at the other party.
“Little candle, song of the cursed spirit, headbutt,” following Ling Yuan’s command, the Tomb Dog sang a ballad, and the remaining energy in the earth gathered into its body, and it used the final headbutt to knock the rogue crocodile directly away, making it lose its ability to fight.
The referee was led into the arena by Hu Dai. After checking the condition of the rogue crocodile, he announced directly, “The rogue crocodile has lost the ability to fight, and the tomb dog has won. The victory is won by the Dark City Gym Master Ling Yuan.”
As the energy shield closed, Ling Yuan rushed into the venue and hugged the tomb dog, “Great, little candle, you won.”
“Woof woof woof,” although Mu Yang Dog was about to lose consciousness, he was still very excited. This was the first victory he had won since breaking through the peak of the quasi-king.
“Thank you for your hard work, Crocodile,” the middle-aged man walked up to Crocodile, stroked his head, and put him back into the Poké Ball.
Clap, clap, clap. The middle-aged man clapped his hands and walked to Ling Yuan’s side. “Xiao Yuan, you have grown up.”
“You are,” Ling Yuan looked at the prosecutor who had taken off his hat and sunglasses, and felt an indescribable sense of intimacy.
“My name is Lingchen. I’m your mother Lingya’s younger brother and your uncle,” the middle-aged man said, staring at Lingyuan.
“Ah!” Ling Yuan was stunned. He never thought that he would see his relatives under such circumstances.
Looking at the stunned Ling Yuan, he said something to the referee, handed the Rogue Crocodile and the Tomb Dog over to the other party for treatment, and took Ling Yuan to a reception room.
“My sister and I have been dependent on each other since we were young. Your grandparents passed away very early, and we were sent to an orphanage. Your mother is a true genius. When we were 10 years old, she embarked on a journey with a Mimikyu that appeared from nowhere. At the age of 18, she became a top trainer who is quasi-king. It was also at this time that she met your father. After that, they got to know each other, fell in love, and disappeared together,” Ling Chen looked at Ling Yuan and began to recall the past.
Ling Yuan watched his uncle in front of him introducing his parents’ situation, and he was muttering in his heart that his uncle seemed to have some opinions about his father, and he was a little gnashing his teeth when talking about his father.
“Then how did they disappear, uncle, do you know?” Ling Yuan asked the question in his mind directly.
“They are,” when Ling Chen was about to say, bang, the door opened and an old man walked in.
“Let me tell you now, Xiaoyuan,” Kikuko walked in front of Lingyuan.
“Grandma, you’re here,” Ling Yuan stood up and welcomed Ju Zi to his sofa and sat next to him.
“Teacher Kikuko, long time no see,” Lingchen also greeted Kikuko.
Ling Yuan was filled with questions when he heard Ling Chen addressing Ju Zi? Teacher?
Chapter 25: Goodbye, King Kikuko (Old Version)
Looking at Grandma Kikuko and his uncle in front of him, Ling Yuan wondered in his heart, you two know each other so well, why didn’t I know anything about it all these years?
“Xiao Yuan, this is Ling Chen, your uncle. He should have told you about it just now,” Kikuko said in a calm tone.
“Yes, he told me about mom and dad’s situation,” Ling Yuan nodded in reply.
Kikuko looked at Lingyuan, as if recalling something. She was silent for a few seconds and then said, “Let me tell you the details. Your mother, father, and Lingchen were all experimenters who participated in the alliance’s aid project at the time. At that time, I, that old man Da Mu, and Brother Damaranchi came up with an idea to tap enough civilian talents to add more fresh blood to the alliance.”
“We selected several orphanages as pilots and invested resources in the children there. We selected talented children through theoretical exams as investment targets. Your mother Lingya ranked first in the theoretical exam at that time. Later, when she was 10 years old, her initial Pokémon was a Mimikyu. She successfully won the league championship the following year with Mimikyu and other companions. I also noticed this little girl who liked ghosts.”
“Later, I accepted her as my first disciple. Under my guidance, she became a quasi-king at the age of 18, a king at the age of 19, and a champion before the age of 30. Your father was my second disciple, one year younger than your mother. He was also a genius who came out of the orphanage project. He became a champion at the age of 30. Later, they had you and settled in Ziyuan Town.”
As Kikuko talked, Ling Yuan realized how talented his mother was. In this world, it is relatively easy to become a quasi-king trainer as long as there are enough resources, but it is not so easy to become a king or a champion. It requires opportunity, talent, and inheritance. For a female champion who is less than 30 years old, Ling Yuan’s first reaction was the Valkyrie in the Sinnoh region, followed by the big star in the Kalos region, the dark-skinned girl in the future Unova region, and the future battle maniac in the Padia region. They all have deep backgrounds. His mother started from an orphanage, and although she had the financial support of Grandma Kikuko, she relied on herself to make breakthroughs, which shows how talented his mother is.
“Later, your mother also helped your uncle. Humph, he is over 40 years old, but still only a high-level Heavenly King,” Kikuko stared at Lingchen with dissatisfaction.
Looking at his uncle who was dissatisfied but didn’t dare to show it, Ling Yuan was speechless. Why was he like a child?
“After your parents disappeared, I went to Ziyuan Town to take you away and raised you myself. Of course, your talent is much better than your uncle’s,” Kikuko touched Lingyuan’s head with relief.
“Then how did my parents disappear? They are two champion-level trainers,” Ling Yuan was very puzzled as to how dangerous it could be to let two champions disappear.
“Alas, this is my mistake,” Kikuko said self-reproachfully, showing a rare look of sadness.
“Xiao Yuan, you should know about patrollers, forest rangers, inspectors, investigators, and Interpol,” Kikuko did not directly state the matter, but asked Ling Yuan about the alliance’s affiliated organizations.
“I know this. Rangers are an organization that protects the natural harmony between elves and humans. They use cursor marks and partner elves. Forest rangers help protect the local water and soil, and protect the local natural environment and the elf ecology. Prosecutors mainly focus on internal activities of human society. Investigators target criminal activities in society. Interpol investigates and suppresses cross-regional crimes and underground dark organizations.” As a candidate for the museum owner, Ling Yuan still remembers these organizations that may have opportunities for cooperation in the future.
“Well, these are the organizations in the open. There are also some secret organizations under the alliance that you also need to know about. They are the military, the Guardian Organization, the Special Forces Department and the Supervisory Group,” Kikuko said affirmatively.
“The military department is a standing military organization in each region. It is mainly responsible for armed deterrence against the remnants of the kingdoms of the old era, and armed suppression of disasters in various regions. The special forces department is responsible for the response team to major criminal acts. Its main members are trainers above the King level. The inspection team is responsible for reporting and handling corrupt departments within the alliance. One of the councilors you reported before is a member of the management of the inspection department. It turned out that he was a child from the orphan project, but unfortunately he took the wrong path. I had to take action to reorganize this department,” Kikuko thought of the child she sent to the spirit world, and her face was a little gloomy.
“The Soul Guardians are the organization your parents once worked for. The Soul Guardians have existed for thousands of years. Their main responsibilities are to guard or close the entrance to the spirit world, as well as to suppress evil spirits and dangerous ghost-type Pokémon that escape from the spirit world. Your parents were the first two managers of the Soul Guardians in the Kanto region, and they took over the responsibility from me,” Kikuko continued.
“What, suppressing and closing the entrance to the spirit world, and there are really ghosts in this world?” Although Ling Yuan had some information about the spirit world in his memories of his previous life, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he didn’t know whether it was true. As a result, now he was told that the spirit world and evil spirits all existed.
Kikuko and Lingchen looked at the surprised Lingyuan with calm eyes, because it would be abnormal not to be surprised when they heard this information for the first time.
“That’s right. Both your mother and father were leaders of the Kanto branch of the Soul Guard. Only champions are qualified to become leaders, and their authority is equivalent to that of local champions in some aspects,” Kikuko added with a nod.
“Then how did they disappear?” Ling Yuan continued to ask.
“This story starts five years ago, when your parents left you for the last time. At that time, an unexpected incident occurred. A level 4 spiritual world rift appeared in an ancient ruin of the Poclaintis Empire. You need to know that level 1 requires gym-level processing, level 2 requires quasi-king-level processing, level 3 requires king-level processing, level 4 requires champion-level processing, and level 5 requires my personal intervention.”
“At that time, it was your father who led many soul-guarding people to suppress the rebellion, but they were ambushed. After a bloody battle, they were unable to deal with the spiritual world rift that had already expanded to level five, so they notified me and your mother. At that time, I was in the Hoenn region helping to hold the sealing ceremony at Mount Sending God, and I couldn’t leave.”
“As a result, your mother arrived and fought against the evil spirits and ghost elves that emerged from the spirit world, but she was still ambushed. When I arrived, the rift in the spirit world had been closed and your parents were nowhere to be found. All the people who had been guarding the body had died. Only then did I realize that this was a premeditated attack,” Kikuko closed her eyes in pain, and Lingyuan grabbed her grandmother’s hand to comfort her.
“This incident was a trap set up against the spirit guardians in Kanto. The crack in the spirit world was not naturally generated or left over from ancient times. It was artificially blasted open and intentionally controlled,” Kikuko continued.
“Can the passage to the spirit world be blasted open artificially?” Ling Yuan looked at Kikuko in surprise.
“Yes, if ordinary ghost-type Pokémon can reach the master level, or some champion-level ghost-type mythical Pokémon have the ability to blast open and control the rifts in the spirit world,” Kikuko explained.
“What! A master-level elf!” Ling Yuan was stunned. He didn’t expect that the person who set up the scheme was a master-level being.
“The man who set up the scheme is named Li Luo. He owns a master-level crystal lamp spirit. He was a partner who went on adventures with me, Da Mu, and A Liu more than 40 years ago,” Kikuko said through gritted teeth, with hatred flashing in her eyes.
“What the hell? We are partners,” Ling Yuan was shocked again. Today he was more shocked than in the past five years.
“Well, although we don’t want to admit it, he was also a brilliant trainer when he was young. It’s just that none of us discovered the darkness hidden in his heart. At that time, we all thought that each other could become the pillars of the alliance. Even Brother Damaranch entrusted him with important tasks. But one day he betrayed us because of jealousy,” Kikuko said angrily.
“At that time, Da Mu was the first among us to break through to the master level. Ah Liu was unable to break through because her initial elf, the hairy pig, was pregnant and gave birth. As a result, one day, he ran to assassinate Ah Liu, and Ah Liu was seriously injured. In order to save Ah Liu, the hairy pig used all its strength to repel Li Luo’s attack, but because it had just given birth, it was injured in the battle and eventually died in Ah Liu’s arms. From that day on, Ah Liu was heartbroken. He hatched the hairy pig’s child and devoted himself to elf breeding. He successfully entered the master level through the messenger bird.”
“After that, Li Luo disappeared. When he reappeared, he attacked several towns in the alliance. More than 300,000 people and elves died tragically. This became the nourishment for Li Luo to advance to the master level. This incident directly caused all the masters in the Guandu Alliance to be furious. They surrounded and killed him with all their strength. In the end, he was rescued by a mysterious person until he reappeared this time.”
When Kikuko finished speaking, Lingyuan had not yet come to his senses. He did not expect that his parents’ disappearance involved so many things.
Chapter 26: Grudge with the Ghost (Old Version)
When Lingyuan sorted out the information in his mind and looked at Juzi and Lingchen, Juzi continued.
“When I arrived at the ruins, all I saw were the remains of the Soul Guard members. I forced Li Luo out and fought him for three days and three nights. He was severely injured by my Gengar’s poison. Just when I was about to kill him, the mysterious man appeared again.”
“The opponent was at the top of the master level, and I was no match for him. Gengar and other main players were seriously injured. At that time, because of the aftermath of our battle, A Liu arrived immediately and fought with the opponent. In the end, the opponent took Li Luo and disappeared into the ultimate cave,” Kikuko said with some regret.
“Hmm? The Ultimate Hole, is that the Ultimate Hole in Alola that I know?” Ling Yuan looked at Kikuko in confusion when he heard the familiar term.
“Xiao Yuan, do you know the Ultimate Hole?” Kikuko looked at Ling Yuan strangely. She had never told him any information about the Ultimate Hole before.
“Um, I’ve heard of coincidence,” Ling Yuan did not explain.
“Well, the opponent is using six Ultimate Beasts named UB series by Alola researchers: Big Glutton, Slash, Lightning, Beauty, Expansion, and Parasyte. Each of them has reached the master level, and Big Glutton is even the peak of the master. My poison has no effect on him.”
While Kikuko was still talking, a huge wave had already risen in Lingyuan’s heart. These were the Evil Food King, Paper Sword, Electric Wood, Pheromone Mantis, Explosive Mosquito, and Xuwuid, ultimate beasts that were quite ferocious in other dimensions!
“Later, I had to go back with Liu to recover from my injuries. My main forces have been recovering from injuries in the past few years. Among them, Gengar was the most seriously injured, followed by Abo Monster. I have been secretly investigating the information of these bastards, and finally found their traces two years ago.”
“I found out that three large organizations in the underground world were involved, the Alphabet Poaching Organization, the Ghost Assassination Organization, and the Bounty Hunter Organization. Li Luo is the leader of the Ghost Assassination Organization, codenamed Joker, and the mysterious man who rescued him before is the current leader of the Bounty Hunter Organization, codenamed King,” said Kikuko, with a serious expression.
“Among them, the Ghost Shadow Assassination Organization is an assassination organization. Their job is to kill people for money. They claim that anyone can be assassinated as long as you can afford the price. Humph, the kings and champions of each region are all hunting targets. They also have a prize pool. It’s simply a winner-takes-all situation. The bounty on the target will continue to accumulate until someone takes action. If he succeeds, all the prize money will belong to him. They are a group of Ladas who are not presentable,” Kikuko commented disdainfully.
“Then is there any way to take action against it?” Ling Yuan asked Kikuko.
“Alas, they have too many nests, more than the holes dug by gophers. In the past few years, we have destroyed no less than 20 bases, but we haven’t found any clues about him,” Ling Chen took over and explained.
“We masters cannot attack casually because we are afraid of pushing the opponent into a corner and causing greater damage. So if we can’t find the exact location, Liu, Da Mu and I can’t attack directly,” Kikuko was helpless. The opponent was too good at hiding, and they were not idle, so they couldn’t search like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Ling Yuan looked at Ju Zi and Ling Chen who were in silence, and knew that they had never given up tracking each other down in the past few years. He suddenly felt anxious in his heart. He needed strength, strength to avenge his parents.
The three of them fell silent. Ling Yuan was thinking about his future path. Originally, he wanted to develop step by step, but after knowing this information, he could not delay and he had to make good use of his system.
“Xiao Yuan, I’ve told you so much today because you already possess the strength of a quasi-king, and you should know the situation of our enemies. You are very talented. When you helped Mu Yang Dog to study the secrets of the king, I knew that your talent was higher than your parents. I hope you don’t waste your talent and grow up quickly,” Kikuko said kindly.
“Grandma, I understand. I will try my best,” Ling Yuan looked at Kikuko and replied firmly.
“Well, today, in addition to the assessment by the gym leader and telling you information about your parents, there is another important thing,” Kikuko said, taking out a certificate from her apron and handing it to Lingyuan.
Ling Yuan opened it and saw that it was a second-level investigator certificate for the vigil keeper with Ling Yuan’s name on it. Ling Yuan looked at the certificate and understood what Kikuko meant. She hoped that he could inherit his parents’ path.
“Xiao Yuan, I hope you can join the Spirit Guardian Organization, which can give you more experience. Your direct superior is me. I am now a third-level guardian. The investigator’s duty is to discover and explore the entrance to the spirit world, and the guardian is responsible for suppressing and sealing the entrance to the spirit world. This may help you in the future when you walk in the alliance system,” Ling Chen said to Ling Yuan.
“Okay, uncle, but how do we know where the entrance to the spirit world is?” Ling Yuan was very curious. Normally, no information was released, so how did the guardian find the entrance to the spirit world?
“This is more complicated. Usually the first and second level entrances to the spirit world are relatively small, so we need to look for them from information, such as supernatural events, ghost legends, or urban legends that suddenly appear on forums. Investigators are responsible for verifying whether it is an entrance to the spirit world, while those above level three can be detected with instruments, but once they appear, it means that a king-level trainer has been dispatched,” Ling Chen carefully introduced the situation to Ling Yuan.
“Since your daily work is still mainly as a museum owner, you can choose the tasks you want to investigate by yourself. I will help you upgrade the illustrations later, and you will know where there are tasks that need to be investigated. Of course, there are also many rewards,” Ling Chen turned on his communicator to show Ling Yuan, and found that this was a special webpage, which contained mission briefings and task lists about the guardians.
“The members of the Soul Keeper organization mainly use ghost, evil, and psychic elves. Of course, it’s not that they don’t cultivate other elves, but these attributes are the best when carrying out tasks. You can also find a secondary attribute to cultivate,” Ling Chen also gave a detailed introduction to the elves commonly used by the Soul Keepers, as well as the situations that may arise.
After chatting with Lingchen for a while, Lingyuan looked at Kikuko, “By the way, what’s going on with Hualan and Nibi Gym?” Lingyuan suddenly remembered what Qiaoya had told him before.
“Xiao Yuan, do you know the King Catfish Effect?” Kikuko did not answer directly, but asked Ling Yuan a question in return.
“You mean, if there is a catfish king in a lake, the water Pokémon in it will either be eliminated and eaten, or become stronger and compete with it to get a chance to survive,” Ling Yuan replied after thinking for a while.
“Nibi and Hualan have already had a generational gap. If there is no one among the grandchildren who can hold up the name, they may be disqualified. These are the hard work of old friends. Give them some stimulation and see what the effect is,” Kikuko and Lingyuan explained. This is also to put some pressure on them. The future of the alliance will always need capable young people to support it.
“Xiao Yuan, from today on you will become a gym leader, and you will also be responsible for discovering and helping young trainers to improve. I hope you can do a good job as a gym leader and a guardian, which will help you in your future,” Kikuko patted Lingyuan’s shoulder, and then left, leaving Lingyuan and his uncle to continue chatting.
When Ling Yuan and Ling Chen finished chatting, it was already dark outside. The treatment of the Tomb Dog and the Rogue Crocodile was over. Ling Yuan originally wanted to have dinner with Ling Chen, but he found out that Ling Chen was on a guard mission. He was called here temporarily as he needed to go back to ensure that a third-level spiritual world crack was closed. After saying goodbye, he left in a hurry.
After asking, Ling Yuan learned that he would be officially confirmed as the museum owner tomorrow. He needs to come to the association again tomorrow to receive the Quasi-King Certification and the official employment letter of the museum owner to complete the upgrade of his illustrated identity.
“Candle, Mimic, Haunter, and Luckycat, you all know what happened today. Our enemies are very powerful, and I need to work harder,” Lingyuan returned to the Pokémon Center and shared the information he got today.
“Woof woof woof, (click, click, click)”
“Jieshijieshijieshi (meow meow meow),” the elves were not afraid after hearing this. Instead, they were eager to try. As long as they were with Ling Yuan, they would not be afraid. Anyone who wanted to hurt Ling Yuan had to get past them first.
“Hahaha, it’s great to meet you,” Ling Yuan rushed over and hugged the elves, and his worries were reduced a lot.
Ling Yuan held the elves in his arms and thought, Ghost Shadow Assassination Organization, one day I will break into your base and avenge my parents.
Chapter 27: Becoming a Gym Owner (Old Version)
The next morning, Ling Yuan took the Pokémons to the Trainer’s Association. When they arrived at the door of the association, there were already people waiting.
“Hello, Master Lingyuan, I am the head of the Golden Branch of the association. Please follow me,” the middle-aged man introduced himself to Lingyuan and took him to the office on the top floor of the association.
“Mr. Lingyuan, first of all, congratulations on passing the assessment to become a gym master in Dark City. This is the Quasi-King Qualification Certificate, as well as the formal gym master employment contract, and your gym master ID. When you become a gym master, you can enjoy a 10% tax subsidy from Dark City every year. Of course, if the gym master makes great contributions in the future, this ratio will also be adjusted,” the president of the association gave a detailed introduction to the treatment and benefits of becoming a gym master, as well as the responsibilities that need to be upheld.
After checking the contract in detail, Ling Yuan signed his name. From now on, he is the official gym leader of Dark City. With the development of Dark City in the future, his connection with Dark City will become deeper and deeper.
“By the way, do you have any requirements for the design of the gym emblem? If so, you can raise it now, or the designer at the headquarters can be responsible for the design.” After listening, Ling Yuan handed the sketch he had drawn directly to the other party. This was designed by him and Rotom long ago. The overall shape is round, with a gem texture in the middle, with a little starlight in the middle, and the main body is dominated by cold colors. This is also his understanding of his own attributes. The ghost type is a mysterious and noble elf.
When Ling Yuan left the association, he planned to go directly back to the Pokémon Center to pack his luggage and return to Dark City.
Ding Dong, “Good morning, Sister Ya,” Ling Yuan entered the Pokémon Center and greeted Joyya.
“Brother Xiaoyuan, you’re back. How are you? Have you become the museum owner?” Qiaoya asked with concern.
“I’m the gym leader now, but I’m also ready to go back. Rotom is helping to manage my home, and I’m a little worried that something might happen. I’ll be back in the afternoon,” Ling Yuan handed his gym leader certificate to Qiao Yiya to look at, and also told him that he was going to leave.
“Wow, you’re leaving so quickly. By the way, your future Pokémon Center in Dark City has been decided. We’ve already heard the news in our sister group. One of my cousins ​​will be working in Dark City. You should help her out when the time comes. Although she has no problem with her professional skills, she’s a bit careless in her work,” Joyya said worriedly, holding her cheek.
“I understand. I will pay attention to it then,” Ling Yuan assured Qiao Yiya. After all, with his relationship with Qiao Yilan, if Qiao Yi from Dark City needed help, he would help without hesitation.
Ling Yuan returned to the room, put his luggage and previous shopping items into the space backpack, checked out, and walked towards the Jinhuang City Gym.
When Ling Yuan entered the Golden Gym, he learned that Nancy was engaged in a gym battle. It was surprising that a challenger came so early today. Ling Yuan walked towards the battle venue.
“Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao, you are the best. Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao, you are the strongest!”
As Ling Yuan walked into the battlefield, he heard the uniform voices of the cheerleading team.
Ling Yuan saw two people standing on the battlefield, one was Nancy, and the other was a boy with a brown hedgehog head and a yellow-green pendant around his neck that looked like the Tai Chi diagram from his previous life. From the name just called out by the cheerleaders and the familiar face of the other party, Ling Yuan recognized him. This was Grandpa Oak’s grandson, Oak Shigeru, a strong rival of the protagonist Xiaozhi in his previous life. Of course, he had not yet been beaten by society, and now he was still a rich young man who traveled in an off-road vehicle with beautiful women.
Ling Yuan looked inside the venue. The gym battle should have just started not long ago. Xiao Mao sent out a level 23 Caterpillar, and Nancy sent out a level 32 (advanced beginner) Coconut Tree, which was a Pokémon specially bred by the Golden Gym for gym battles.
“Goonie, spray fire,” Xiao Mao commanded Goonie to attack the coconut tree.
Growlithe blew a column of fire at the coconut tree. Nancy didn’t say anything. The coconut tree used its magical power to bounce the column of fire back. The bounced column of fire hit Growlithe, and Growlithe was knocked flying and rolled on the ground for a few rounds.
“Catti, are you okay?” Xiao Mao looked at Catti with some concern. Since Nancy was giving silent commands, he had no way of reacting immediately. This was also the first time he felt pressure in a gym battle.
“Woof woof,” Cati Dog shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and stared at the coconut tree.
Just as Xiao Mao was thinking about his next step, Coconut Tree directly used Leaf Storm, and a green tornado attacked Growlithe.
“Gorgon, use Fire Wheel to dodge,” seeing the tornado coming, Xiao Mao decisively ordered Gorgon to dodge, but he didn’t know that this was a combination skill. Leaf Storm was attached with telekinesis, and the tornado turned and blasted towards the dodging Gorgon. Bang, Gorgon was hit directly, and this time Gorgon directly lost its combat ability.
“Gongdi has lost its ability to fight. Please change your Pokémon, challenger,” the referee reminded Xiaomao that he needed to change his Pokémon after Gongdi lost his ability to fight.
“Ah, Master Xiaomao lost,” the cheerleaders looked worried. This was the first time they saw Xiaomao lose without being able to resist.
“My, honey, come back. You’ve worked hard. Come out, my warrior,” Ling Yuan got goosebumps when he saw Xiao Mao saying those second-year words while releasing Nidoking.
“Roar!” This is a level 31 Nidoking with big purple ears. It stands on two feet and is about 1.35 meters tall. It looks like it is of average development. Ling Yuan commented in his mind about the Nidoking that appeared on the field.
“Nidoking, spray fire,” Xiao Mao directly attacked according to the attribute restraint.
The coconut tree used gravity to distort the field in front of it, and the jet of flames deviated from its trajectory and passed by the coconut tree. Xiao Mao was stunned. Since he didn’t know the instructions from the other side, he didn’t know why Nidoking missed the target. At this time, the coconut tree rushed directly towards Nidoking and used a self-sacrificing charge. Nidoking was knocked away, and the coconut tree also gave him a parasitic seed. Nidoking’s strength was constantly draining away.
“Nidoking, use your flaming fist to break free quickly,” Xiao Mao began to get anxious and ordered the bound Nidoking.
When Nidoking broke free, the Coconut Tree was also ready. The sunlight gathered on his head, and the Grass-type ultimate skill, Solar Beam, boom, Nidoking was hit directly and lost his ability to fight.
“Nidoking!” Xiao Mao was stunned. Looking at Nidoking who had lost his ability to fight, he was a little at a loss.
“Nidoking has lost his ability to fight. Challengers, please change your Pokémon,” the referee reminded Xiao Mao to release the last Pokémon.
“Thank you for your hard work. Come on stage, myhoney,” Xiaomao took back Nidoking and released his last Pokémon, Squirtle.
“Kami, Kami,” Kami Stottle got into fighting stance as soon as he came out. He had just seen his companions being defeated.
Pokemon: Squirtle
Attribute: Water
Features: Torrent
Level: Level 35 (Advanced Intermediate)
Level skills: impact, water gun, retracting into shell, etc.
Inherited Skill: Water Jet
Ling Yuan looked at the Stotle in front of him and murmured in his heart, it was worthy of being the initial Pokémon carefully selected by Grandpa Oak, its qualifications were quite high, no worse than the Haunter that Grandma Kikuko prepared for him. This was also one of the guarantees for Xiao Mao to become a top trainer in the future.
“Stotle, water jet,” Xiao Mao directly commanded Stotle to rush out, but not directly towards the coconut tree but flew around the venue. During the rapid movement, the coconut tree stood still and used photosynthesis, and its strength was slowly recovering.
“Use Bite now,” when Stottle was about to pass by the coconut tree, he used Bite to hit the coconut tree. Bang, the coconut tree was staggered by the sudden evil attack.
“Use Water Wave,” Xiaomao directly ordered Stolett to use Water Wave on the ground. The water flow formed waves and hit the coconut tree. The coconut tree slipped directly. Xiaomao directly added a rocket hammer, and the coconut tree lost its combat ability. Nancy directly took back the coconut tree and released a level 35 magic wall doll.
“Stolett, water jet,” Xiao Mao ordered Stolett to move again, but unfortunately the same move was of no use to Nancy.
“Bali Bali,” the magic wall puppet moved its hands quickly, and six light walls flew out and directly trapped Stottle. The magic wall puppet used its telekinesis to control the cube to roll continuously. The Stottle inside was dizzy due to the violent shaking, and a magic flash was added directly, and Stottle lost its ability to fight.
“Stotle has lost its ability to fight. Since all three Pokémon of the challenger have lost their ability to fight, the challenge fails. The winner is Nancy, the leader of the Golden Gym,” the referee announced the result. Xiao Mao lowered his head and fell silent, as if he had been hit hard.
“Why are you still standing there? Shouldn’t you take your Pokémon to the Pokémon Center for treatment immediately?” Ling Yuan looked at the silent Xiao Mao and reminded him directly.
“I, yes, sorry, Stotle, let’s go get treatment right away,” Xiao Mao came to his senses, took back Stotle, said thank you to Ling Yuan, and ran straight to the Pokémon Center without even caring about his girlfriends.
“Brother Xiaoyuan, you’re here,” Nazhi, who had been silent just now, smiled at Lingyuan.
“Sister Nazhi, you are quite cruel. You almost left a psychological trauma on the young master of the Damu family. He is just a little kid who has never been through the hardships of society. Why are you arguing with him so seriously that you even used silent commands,” Ling Yuan teased.
“Haha, we have to give face to Professor Oak, but we still have to be strict as a gym leader,” Nancy did not explain.
“Sister Nazi, I’m ready to return to Dark City,” Ling Yuan said goodbye to Nazi.
“Brother Xiaoyuan, don’t slack off when you go back, otherwise your sister will bring Hu Di to play with you,” Nazi said jokingly.
Ling Yuan left the Golden Gym and prepared to take a bus back to Dark City. When he passed by the entrance of the Pokémon Center, he saw Xiao Mao saying goodbye to a few beauties and driving away in an SUV. Ling Yuan shook his head. He had a hunch that Xiao Mao would come to challenge his gym in the future, and things would probably be very different then.
Chapter 28: Return to Dark City (Old Version)
As the car slowly entered the Dark City, Ling Yuan could see that there were many construction sites under construction. With the joint efforts of the elves and humans, the strong men, the porters, the iron-boned earthmen, the old builders, the elves and humans, the construction speed was very fast, several levels faster than in his previous life.
Looking at the completed Pokémon Center and the train station that is about to be completed, it is estimated that after completion, the passenger flow in Dark City will surge. As Ling Yuan arrived at the bus station, he decided to return to the gym.
As he passed by a restaurant that was being renovated, he saw the father and son he had met before and walked over to greet them.
“Master Lingyuan, long time no see,” the middle-aged man greeted Lingyuan.
“Long time no see. Are you redecorating?” Ling Yuan asked as he looked at the renovation team that was working in full swing.
“There’s been construction going on in the city recently. We estimate that the customer flow will increase in the future, and we want more opportunities to make money. Gym Master Lingyuan would like to thank you for your help. If you come to our store, I’ll give you a 50% discount,” the middle-aged man replied to Lingyuan with a smile. After all, it was Lingyuan who solved the problem of the private gym, and in the future he would also be the guardian of the Dark City.
“Then I will obey your orders. I will come to support you when you finish decorating your house.”
Ling Yuan said goodbye to the middle-aged man and continued walking towards the gym. When he arrived at the door of the gym, he could see that the curtain outside had been removed. There were many people queuing up outside the haunted castle next to it to enter, and the Raichus were holding signs to guide the flow of people.
Ling Yuan felt quite happy as he watched the fear value in front of him increase.
Bang, Lingyuan released all the elves. Brother Raichu saw his sister and nephew coming back, and came over to greet them.
“Thunder, Thunder”, “Kakaka”, Mimikyu and Raichu were chatting. Raichu looked at Lucky’s teasing eyes and Lucky’s speechless expression. It was probably talking about what happened with Pachirisu before.
Ling Yuan watched the elves leave and walked towards the living area with his luggage. He needed to confirm his identity with Rotom and unlock all the permissions of the gym.
“Beep, welcome back, Mr. Lingyuan, congratulations on passing the gym leader test,” Rotom appeared on the screen in front of Lingyuan.
“Rotom, you’ve worked hard. Did anything happen these past two days?” Ling Yuan asked Rotom as he packed his luggage.
“Beep, beep, everything has been normal these two days. The haunted house has received a total of 560 visitors, including 36 repeat customers,” Rotom directly displayed the income statistics for the past two days.
“Rotom, this is the gym owner’s ID. Apply to unlock the gym facilities,” Ling Yuan placed the gym owner’s ID in front of Rotom’s screen. After the scan was completed, Rotom began to unlock the gym’s permissions. The gym blueprint on the screen could be seen lighting up. When Rotom finished unlocking, the screen returned to Rotom’s big face.
“Beep, Mr. Lingyuan, you have obtained full access to the Dark Gym. The additional venues include the challenger reception desk, the battle field, the Pokémon training room, etc.” Rotom introduced the available venues in detail and also informed him that this will become a pilot site for Rotom referees, and Rotom Butler will record the situation of each battle and the judgment data in detail.
After Lingyuan unlocked the gym, he took out the gifts he had bought in Golden City, including snacks for the Gengars, automatic grooming machines for the Raichus, a large cat bed for the Lucky Cats, Mimikyu’s Pikachu and Lucky Cat dolls, a teething stick for the Graveyard Hound, etc. Lingyuan checked and found that there was still a lot of food left for the Pokémons, so he prepared lunch later.
During the lunch break, all the elves came to the living room and looked at their gifts. The Luke went into his cat bed to rest, while the Mimikyu took his doll and went to his room. The Raichus lined up to try the automatic grooming machine, the Graveyard Hounds lay down to rest with their teething sticks in their mouths, and the Gengars took snacks and prepared to eat.
“Boss, second brother, third brother, Haunter, get ready for lunch. You can’t eat snacks now,” Ling Yuan said, staring at the Gengars.
“Geng ga, gen ga,” Gengar awkwardly put the potato chips aside. The other Haunters nodded and ran directly to the sofa to watch TV.
When Lingyuan was having lunch with the elves, he also told them about his parents and the enemies they might face in the future. The three funny brothers came directly to Lingyuan, touched his head and comforted him. The eldest brother Gengar made a muscle-flexing gesture to show that they were not afraid at all, and then continued to share lunch.
When Ling Yuan was washing dishes, Rotom’s screen stretched out and said, “Beep, Mr. Ling Yuan, the mayor of Dark City is here to visit. Can you let him in?”
“Hmm? The mayor is coming, let him in.”
“Hello, Mr. Lingyuan, congratulations on becoming the gym leader of Dark City. I wonder when you are planning to hold the launching ceremony,” the mayor greeted Lingyuan politely and asked if there was still a chance to cut the ribbon.
“Well, I just came back today. I think we can officially open the museum after the badges are delivered, which should be in five days.” Ling Yuan thought about it and felt that it would be more appropriate to wait until everything is ready before opening the museum. He also needs to study the elves’ tactics and update the challenge requirements.
With Lingyuan becoming the gym leader of Dark City, the address of the new gym is also displayed on the alliance map, as well as the public announcement status. Trainers can choose to challenge the new gym and comment on the new gym on the forum.
“I see. Let me be frank. Actually, I hope that Mr. Lingyuan can hold an event when the museum opens, and it can be broadcast live on TV. Mr. Lingyuan, as you know, the train station will be opened next month. However, the reputation of our Dark City can be said to be at the bottom in the Kanto region. This is also part of the city’s publicity. Of course, your appearance fee will definitely not be less,” the mayor said, and asked his secretary to bring a box over. When he opened it, it was a high-quality dark stone.
Ling Yuan was also surprised when he looked at the Dark Stone. Compared to the Thunder Stone, Water Stone and other evolution stones that existed in mines in nature, the Dark Stone, Awakening Stone and other special energy stones were even rarer. The stone in front of him was equivalent to 5 million Alliance Coins, and it was in a situation where there was no market for it. After all, rare things were valuable.
“This is not a good idea,” Ling Yuan wanted to accept it, but was still a little hesitant.
“Hey, a sword is given to a hero. Gym Master Lingyuan is already a quasi-king-level trainer at such a young age. It’s only a matter of time before he becomes a king-level trainer in the future. I bought this at an auction in Golden City in my early years. It’s equivalent to my thank-you fee and private investment. As the mayor, I was helpless about the previous private gym affairs. Many projects were forced to stop. I am very grateful that you solved the problem. Moreover, the development of Dark City now depends on your protection,” the mayor persuaded Lingyuan to accept the Dark Stone. He also hoped to maintain a good relationship with the gym master.
“Okay, I’ll take it. I’ll notify you in advance of the opening event three days later,” Ling Yuan declined, but still accepted the Dark Stone, which is very important for the future training of ghost-type Pokémon.
Ling Yuan talked about the details with the mayor, and then sent him out of the gym. He took the Dark Stone and put it into the safe in Gengar’s stomach. This is where Ling Yuan stores props. Gengar is usually a mobile treasure house.
When Ling Yuan finished checking the haunted house equipment and was preparing to start designing the opening activities and challenge the game design, there were messages about the new gym on the Internet.
Kanto Trainer Forum, real-time comment area.
ID Pikachu is the best: “Does anyone know about the new gym? Please let me know!”
ID Song God Jigglypuff: “This should be the 10-year-old gym candidate from before!”
ID Guai Li Favorite Muscle: “I saw him go to the association to get certified as a gym owner a few days ago! It should be him.”
ID: Blazing Red Lotus: “Is there anyone who wants to challenge me? I don’t believe a 10-year-old trainer can be capable of anything.”
ID Pikachu is the best: “Didn’t you watch the other side’s battle video? Do you have the ability to challenge the other side’s main force?”
ID Blazing Red Lotus: “This is a second-generation elf, raised with the help of his family. If they are of the same level, it is still uncertain who will win or lose!”
ID Pikachu is the best: “Do you dare to make an appointment for a live broadcast? If you can, broadcast the challenge successfully and show it to everyone.”
ID: Blazing Red Lotus: “Come on, if anyone else wants to join me, I will use their badge as a stepping stone to enter the league competition.”
ID Pikachu is the best: “Sure, let’s make an appointment. I’ll help you with the live broadcast.”
As trainers in the forum started to cheer, many trainers wanted to see the strength of this new gym and the ability of this 10-year-old gym leader.
Chapter 29: Dark Gym Opening (Old Version)
Three days later, after the gym badges arrived, Ling Yuan began preparing for the opening ceremony. This event was mainly divided into three parts, namely the elf performance, ribbon-cutting and the final interview. The Dark City government also arranged for this event to be broadcast live on the Internet, and included Dark City’s city promotional advertisements.
“Rotom, how’s the stage installation going? Also, how’s the sound equipment going?” Ling Yuan, wearing headphones, inspected the various activity facilities and asked Rotom, who was moving among the electrical appliances, about the details.
“Beep, Mr. Lingyuan, the equipment is in good condition,” Rotom returned to the screen.
“Then prepare for the event according to the process. It will start soon. By the way, how are Gengar and the others preparing?” Ling Yuan ticked the plan and asked about Gengar’s situation.
“Beep, everything is fine, they are rehearsing for the final performance,” Rotom replied.
“OK, tell them to rest when the preparations are over, it’s about to begin. Whether the Dark Gym can make a splash depends on the grand performance.” After checking on the elves, Ling Yuan went to prepare the performance costumes. If a gym wants to become famous, in addition to the strength and fame of the gym owner, the characteristics of the gym are also very important. So he thought of the grand competition performances in the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions, which is also a good opportunity to gain popularity.
As the crowd outside the gym grew larger and larger and the opening time drew closer, the mayor was already waiting in the lounge. Ling Yuan had changed into a purple dress and a matching top hat, and was holding a purple cane, preparing for the gorgeous performance that would follow.
Bang bang! As the salute sounded, the machinery built in front of the gym started to move. The reporters aimed their cameras at the stage. It was as if two hollow cross-ring devices started up and began to rotate continuously. When the speed reached a certain level, only afterimages could be seen. The electric current on it blocked the view. With a bang, the machine suddenly stopped. A figure appeared in the middle of the device, lifted by the ghost energy and slowly descended to the stage. The audience and reporters were attracted by this unique opening magic. When Ling Yuan landed on the stage, there was applause from below.
“Thank you very much for coming to the opening ceremony of the Dark Gym. I am the gym owner Ling Yuan. This opening ceremony will bring you a unique performance, and allow you to get to know the lovely ghost-type Pokémon in the Dark Gym,” Ling Yuan said, then hit the ground with his cane. With a bang, Ling Yuan disappeared from the stage after a smoke screen.
The children in the audience were stunned and asked their parents how this was done. The parents shook their heads. They didn’t know how the gym owner did it either, and were surprised that this opening ceremony was completely different from that of other gyms.
As a burst of music sounded, black mist suddenly surged in the center of the stage, and a wolf-like howling could be heard. A figure slowly crawled out from the shadow on the ground, and a two-meter-tall big dog emerged from the black mist. Following the beat, several will-o’-the-wisp fires appeared, and a shadow ball gathered in the mouth of the Tomb Yang Dog and flew into the sky. As the will-o’-the-wisp fires collided, they exploded like purple fireworks, sprinkling on the Tomb Yang Dog’s long white hair, as if purple starlight was constantly floating. The Tomb Yang Dog accompanied the music and played on the stage, with its white hair constantly floating.
The audience looked at the scene in front of them. The children, who were originally frightened by the howling, were also watching the performance of the Tomb Yang Dog quietly. As the music came to an end, the Tomb Yang Dog also controlled the ghost energy to gather on its body, like a ball, and it exploded with a bang. The Tomb Yang Dog disappeared from the stage, leaving only purple energy dust, floating towards the audience. The children reached out to catch it, and the energy disappeared as soon as it touched their palms.
“Thank you very much, our gym’s ace, Tomb Raider, for the wonderful performance. Next up is our gym’s comedian, the three Gengar brothers. Please welcome them with applause,” Ling Yuan said before falling backwards and disappearing from the stage.
After a burst of black fog, a sofa and a door appeared in the center of the stage. The screen behind it also lit up. At this time, a Gengar and a Haunter slowly rose from the stage and began a skit performance. The picture showed the interior of an ancient castle.
“Geng ga, gen ga,” “Jie shi, jie shi, jie shi,” Gengar and Haunter began their skit performance, with Ling Yuan dubbing for them on the sound system. The use of three tones to match their funny performance also made the audience below laugh.
With the live broadcast on the Internet, Gengar and his friends finally stepped onto the comedy stage for the first time. This was also one of their wishes. Many trainers and their Pokémon were amused and laughed. Humans listened to the dubbed version, while the Pokémon listened to the original version. This also laid the groundwork for the Pokémon to enter the human entertainment industry in the future.
After the performance of the three funny brothers was over, Gengar did not forget to blow kisses to the audience, making them laugh again. Lingyuan appeared on the stage again, “The next performance is from the Electric Pokémon from our gym. They brought us an exciting street dance performance. Please welcome them with applause.” As the audience applauded, a rhythmic dance sounded from the speakers. Brother Raichu, wearing a black vest and a baseball cap, stood in the middle C position and began to lead the dance. This was inspired by a trainer in the Kalos region who liked to dance with his Raichu. It is estimated that Raichu’s popularity will increase after the performance.
As the music ended, the audience became restless.
Ling Yuan appeared again, “Thank you Raichu for your performance. Our Dark Gym is also full of talented people. Although everyone is still reluctant to leave, we still have to proceed with the ribbon-cutting process. We welcome the mayor of Dark City to perform the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Dark City Gym.”
As the mayor stepped onto the stage and performed a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Ling Yuan, the audience below also gave applause, which also indicated that the Dark Gym was officially launched and Dark City officially entered the fast lane of development.
The salutes sounded, and today’s ribbon-cutting ceremony was almost over. The audience began to leave one after another, and Ling Yuan also entered the gym to prepare for an interview with the reporter from the Alliance TV station.
“Hello, Master Lingyuan, it’s a pleasure for you to accept an interview with our Alliance News Station,” the female reporter from the TV station looked at Lingyuan with a smile, while the camera next to her was broadcasting live.
“Hello, I’m glad to be able to participate in this interview,” Ling Yuan smiled in his small suit.
“Master Lingyuan, first of all, congratulations on the success of this opening event. I wonder how you came up with the idea of ​​these activities,” asked the female reporter.
“This is also thanks to the gorgeous competitions that are popular in Hoenn and Sinnoh. Many of the performances have given me a lot of inspiration, which is why I chose to use Pokémon performances to showcase the characteristics of the gym,” Lingyuan replied calmly.
“Oh? Is Lingyuan Pavilion Master still paying attention to the Gorgeous Competition? What do you think of the competition system of the Gorgeous Competition?”
“The Gorgeous Competition is a competition that places great emphasis on the coordination ability of the elves. In addition to focusing on the appearance of the elves, this competition also helps the elves to deepen their combination of moves, and can also help improve the overall abilities of the elves themselves,” Ling Yuan evaluated objectively.
“Master Lingyuan, what do you think about the fact that many traditional trainers are not optimistic about coordination trainers?” the reporter asked a sharp question.
“As a gym leader, I don’t have any prejudice against any trainer group. There are also powerful trainers among the coordination trainers like Master Adam and Master Michaeli. It’s just that there are too few top trainers among the coordination trainers compared to other trainer groups. I believe that will change in the future,” Ling Yuan did not fall for it.
“Well, as a newly established gym, I wonder if you have anything to say to the challengers,” the reporter continued to inquire.
“I think new trainers can take on challenges bravely, and we gym leaders will do our best to help them grow.”
Lingyuan continued the live broadcast with reporters.
In a villa in Liuli City, Fengyuan region
A silver-haired noble young man asked the light green-haired fashionista next to him, “What do you think of this youngest quasi-king at the peak of Kanto?”
“I think he has a good aesthetic, and I think he could be brought into the glamour competition,” Mikoli commented.
“I think it’s difficult. He is the grandson of Master Kikuko. I am no match for Master Kikuko. If she finds out that you want to drag him to the gorgeous competition, I won’t help you stop her,” Daigo teased Mikoli.
“Uh! Forget it, but I guess he will become a trainer at the same level as us in the future. You saw that Graveyard Hound,” Mikoli awkwardly changed the subject.
“I see. It is estimated that he has perfected the secret of the King. As long as his physique breaks through, he should be able to enter the King level soon,” Daigo stroked his chin as he analyzed the situation of the Tomb Dog.
“My opinion is similar to yours. As long as your physical condition breaks through, you can try energy resonance to enter the king level,” Mikoli agreed with Daigo’s opinion.
“Are there any good talents in Hoenn recently? I think we should also pay attention to the situation of the younger generation,” Daigo asked. Ever since he retired to dig stones, he rarely paid attention to the situation within the alliance.
“Well, Furong, the guardian of the Send God Mountain, is already a high-level Heavenly King and is probably about to reach the peak of Heavenly King. As for others, Qianli’s daughter will also go on a trip soon. Let’s see how she develops in the future. The granddaughter of old Heavenly King Mula is still relatively young and is still at the gym level. It will take time for her to become a Heavenly King…” Mikoli analyzed the situation of the newcomers he had received recently.
“Well, it seems I still have to look for any good seedlings to come to the Hoenn region,” Daigo leaned against the sofa and looked at the ceiling speechlessly.
“Oh, if you spend less time digging stones and come out to help me more often, I will thank Arceus for your protection. Or you can try to break through to the master level. One more master is more important than a few newcomers,” Mikoli was speechless as he looked at his friend.
“It’s not that easy to break through to the master level. It’s only been a short time since Metagross broke through to the champion level,” Daigo stared at Mikoli with dead eyes.
“Okay, just continue to be your tycoon who spends money. It would be better if you can find more good seedlings,” Mikoli did not force his old friend to use such a wide-net approach to catch Gyarados instead of Magikarp.
As Daigo and Mikoli were talking, the live broadcast on Lingyuan’s side also ended. Many trainers who wanted to become famous were rushing to the Dark City.
Chapter 30: First Gym Challenger (Old Version)
“Oh, help!”
The red-haired trainer was running away frantically, and next to him was a trainer holding a camera who was also running away frantically. Looking back, he saw a strange man holding a machete, wearing a mask that only revealed his eyes, and his clothes were covered in blood. He was chasing behind him with a low growl from his mouth, and the machete in his hand was waving wildly.
“Think of a solution quickly, time is running out!” The blue-haired trainer reminded the red-haired trainer next to him.
“What can I do? I have to get rid of that weirdo behind us first,” the red-haired man and the blue-haired man ran away separately.
The time goes back 60 minutes.
On the morning of the third day after the opening, several trainers gathered at the entrance of the Dark Gym and were chatting.
“Hey, Fiery Crimson Lotus, why hasn’t it come yet?” The blue-haired trainer asked the netizen next to him.
“He should be here soon. Our appointment is at 10 o’clock in the morning,” the person next to him confirmed while looking at his watch.
“Okay, wait a minute. How strong do you think this dark gym is? I see there are no gym reviews on the forum yet, so I guess no one has challenged it yet,” the blue-haired man said uncertainly.
“Coming, coming,” a red-haired boy ran over quickly to join the crowd.
“Sorry, sorry, the bus is late,” the boy replied breathlessly.
“Well, do you need to rest for a while? We’re going to challenge a gym soon. You’ll probably be the first one,” the blue-haired boy asked.
“Pikachu is the best, you are the one who needs a break. I’m just a 10-year-old kid, and I can finish the level in minutes,” the red-haired trainer took a deep breath and led the way to the gym. The other trainers followed behind him. The blue-haired trainer started a live broadcast with an Internet recorder.
Inside the gym, Ling Yuan watched the surveillance video and arranged the haunted house operation plan for today.
“Beep, Lingyuan Gym Master, a challenger has arrived. Please proceed to the reception area,” Rotom’s voice came from the side.
Ling Yuan was surprised to hear this! Finally, a challenger came. When he arrived at the reception area, he saw that there were already 4 trainers waiting inside.
“Hello, I’m Ling Yuan. Would you like to challenge together or separately?” Ling Yuan said to the trainer opposite.
“Hello, I, hello, Gym Master Lingyuan. I’m Aqiang from Honglian City. I’m the challenger,” the red-haired trainer raised his hand first, while the other trainers did not respond, and one of them even held a camera.
“What are you doing?” Ling Yuan asked while looking at the camera opposite.
“Hello, hello, I’m Hongwen from Tokiwa City. My online name is Pikachu is the best. I’m a video anchor. This time we agreed to challenge together. I wonder if we can do a live broadcast on the Internet,” Hongwen walked over and shook hands with Lingyuan, asking if they could do a live video broadcast.
“Well, as long as the challenger has no objection, we as the gym owners have no objection,” Ling Yuan replied after thinking for a while.
“I have no objection, Lingyuan Gym Master, let’s start the battle!” Aqiang has taken out the Poké Ball and is ready to challenge.
“Okay, no problem, come with me!” Ling Yuan led them to the ancient castle next to the gym and explained the rules of the challenge to them.
“Since we are a new gym and do not have any apprentices yet, we use challenge activities as a level to screen challengers!” Ling Yuan and the challengers came to a door on the underground first floor with a screen next to it.
“Beep, I’m the referee of this challenge, Rotom. This Dark Gym event requires you to find tokens. Each person needs to find tokens on three screens. If it’s a single-player challenge, it will take half an hour, and if it’s a two-player challenge, it will take one hour. You need to find six tokens. Is this a single-player challenge or a two-player challenge?” Rotom appeared on the screen and began to introduce the rules of the challenge.
“I want to challenge you, do you want to join me, Hongwen?” Aqiang asked Hongwen beside him fearlessly.
“Okay, Master Lingyuan, can we broadcast live inside?” Hongwen asked Lingyuan next to him.
“No problem. Please be prepared. There is no timing device inside. When the screen counts down to one, the challenge begins.” Ling Yuan didn’t say much when he saw that the other party was eager to try.
“Three, two, one, the challenge begins,” Rotom’s voice came from the screen. The countdown ended, and the door opened. The time was displayed in the upper right corner of the screen, and the video of the interior of the room was in the middle.
When the two rushed into the room, they found that the environment inside suddenly became larger, and it seemed like they had entered a countryside at night. Many houses had collapsed, and there were flickering lights in several rooms. They could see the beautiful starry sky when they looked up.
“How rich is this Dark Gym to be able to create such a realistic simulation,” Hongwen exclaimed.
“Don’t sigh, find the token quickly, I still have to challenge the gym,” Aqiang rushed into the house first, and Hongwen followed behind him with a camera.
As the two entered the room and began to rummage through the drawers, looking for the token, Hongwen talked to netizens and followed their advice in the search.
“Pikachu, go look under the bed, I think there is something there,” a message flashed by, and Hongwen and Aqiang turned over the bed together, and found a token stuck in the middle of the bed. Aqiang took it in his hand.
“It’s not that difficult!” Aqiang tossed the token in his hand.
“Okay, you need to find two more before you are qualified to challenge, so hurry up,” Hongwen urged to find the other tokens quickly.
Half an hour passed, and Aqiang and Hongwen found two tokens on the beam and in the cabinet in the corner of the house respectively. At this point, one of them had qualified for the challenge, but there were still 20 minutes left.
“There are already three tokens. Are you still looking for more?” Hongwen asked Aqiang next to him.
“There’s still time, just look for them. If you find them all, you will be qualified to challenge,” A Qiang waved his hand indifferently.
Knock, knock, knock. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
“Hongwen, why are you knocking on the door?” Aqiang asked Hongwen while looking down.
“No, I didn’t knock on the door!” Hongwen was replying to his fans, but at this time Hongwen didn’t see that the barrage was filled with the words after “be careful”.
Roar! A low roar came, and the two immediately looked back, only to see a two-meter-tall man wearing a mask, holding a bloody machete, and his clothes were covered in blood, staring at them intently.
After a few seconds of silence, the big man chopped at the two men. They immediately dodged. With a bang, the wooden table was chopped into pieces. The two men ran away and time went back to the beginning.
“Help!” Outside the room, the video showed two people being chased frantically by the Jason doll. Ling Yuan smiled as he saw the growing panic level.
The other trainers were also frightened by this scene. Who could have thought that it was just a game, but suddenly there would be a life-and-death crisis.
As Aqiang and Hongwen ran away separately, Jason stared at Aqiang and chased him madly, and time passed by little by little.
With ten minutes left, Hongwen was still looking for another token, and the barrage of comments was full of crazy complaints.
“The activities of the Dark Gym are too perverted!”
“It’s so exciting. I want to go play.”
“It feels like watching a horror movie!”
Hongwen was breathing heavily. As a video anchor, not a professional trainer, his physical fitness could be said to be very average. The crazy running just now made him breathless.
“Ha, ha, what’s going on in this dark gym? Was that person just pretending to be someone else or something?” Hongwen could still hear Aqiang’s screams.
Hongwen started walking to the other side, but what he didn’t know was that a figure flashed behind him.
There are still 10 minutes left before the challenge ends. Aqiang is being chased madly, while Hongwen finds another token on a tree. Just as he is about to turn around and leave, a hand strokes his head. Hongwen’s hair stands on end. He turns his head mechanically and sees a ghost nun with a big mouth facing him.
“Ah!” There were screams from Hongwen and the people in the live broadcast room. Hongwen ran away and the screams of the two echoed throughout the room.
“Beep, time’s up. Since only four tokens were found, only one person from each side is qualified to challenge,” Rotom’s voice came, and the lights in the room came on. Aqiang and Hongwen collapsed together.
The door opened and Ling Yuan walked in with other trainers. “Congratulations. As the first batch of official challengers, you will be qualified to challenge the gym.”
Ling Yuan brought everyone back to the reception area. After a short rest, they began the formal gym challenge.
Chapter 31: Gym Challenge (I) (Old Version)
After a short break, Lingyuan led everyone to the battle field of the gym, which was a standard 400m x 400m basic battle field with an audience area and a large screen next to it. Both sides were already in the trainer area, and Rotom entered the drone and transformed into referee Rotom to record the battle video.
“The following is the Dark Gym Challenge. The challenger is Qiang from Honglian City. He is challenging the Dark Gym Master Lingyuan with the Dark Badge as a bet. The match will be a 3v3 match. The challenger has the right to change Pokémon twice, and the Master cannot change Pokémon midway. The challenge will end when all three Pokémon of one side lose their ability to fight. This match will be recorded on video and will be judged by referee Rotom. The final right of interpretation belongs to the Alliance Referee Association. Now both parties, please release your Pokémon.” As Rotom explained the rules of the match, Qiang and Lingyuan threw out Poké Balls at the same time.
Bang, bang, the third Gastly appeared on the field, and opposite him was an elf with rabbit ears, a big fluffy tail, fluff on his neck, and a tuft of hair on his forehead. All of the hair was cream yellow. It was a Flareon.
“Flameep, let’s burn!” A Qiang shouted directly to Flareon.
“Sha! Sha!” Flareon roared excitedly, sparks flying from his body.
Ling Yuan was looking at the level 30 Flareon on the opposite side, thinking about how to attack. With the training during this period, the third brother Gastly was already level 23, but he had not yet had the chance to evolve. The evolution of Pokémon cannot be carried out once the energy level is reached, it requires timing, which is one of the reasons why the third brother took the lead.
“Beep, the match begins. The challenger attacks first,” Rotom announced the start of the match.
“Flameep, spray flame,” Aqiang directly commanded Flareon to attack the opposite side. Flareon took a deep breath and sprayed a column of fire directly at Gastly.
“Third brother, move in a Z shape,” Gastly moved in a Z shape to avoid the jet of flames, and lowered his altitude to rush towards Flame Eevee.
“Flameep, charge over, Flame Fang,” A Qiang directly ordered Flareon to rush over for close combat.
“Provocation,” Gastly immediately turned on the taunt mode and attacked crazily. Flareon rushed over angrily and attacked crazily with jet flames, but Gastly dodged them all. At this moment, Gastly disappeared from the field.
Flareon lost its target and came to a standstill. It looked at its trainer, wanting to know what to do, but Qiang was also looking around and couldn’t find any trace of Gastly.
“Hypnosis!” Ling Yuan clasped his hands together and looked at the other side and ordered.
Gastly appeared directly in front of Flareon, was hit by hypnosis, and fell asleep immediately.
“Fire Eevee, wake up,” A Qiang called out to Fire Eevee anxiously but it was useless.
“Gass, use Shadow Ball, then curse,” Gastly used Shadow Ball to blow the opponent away, but Flareon had not woken up yet, and with Gastly’s curse, when Flareon woke up it was already at the end of its strength, and finally with Aqiang’s shouting, it was hit by the Wave of Evil and lost its ability to fight.
“Flameevre has lost his ability to fight, Gastly wins, challenger please change Pokémon,” Rotom announced the referee’s decision and asked the opponent to change Pokémon.
“I’m sorry, Flareon, it’s my fault. You should have a good rest,” A Qiang took Flareon back and said to the Poké Ball.
“Come out, Flame Horse!”
Aqiang released contestant number two, a horse with flames burning on its back and a single horn on its head. As soon as it came out, it ran around the field, and after venting for a while, it stood in front of Aqiang.
Ling Yuan was also envious when looking at the horse opposite. After all, as one of the most suitable Pokémon to be a battlefield mount, Flamehorse was still quite good-looking. And as Aqiang was a trainer specializing in fire, the flames of Flamehorse looked very strong, with flickering flames, which was a sign that Flamehorse was excited.
“Flame Horse, explode,” huge flames gushed out directly. The Flame Horse, which was already level 35 (advanced intermediate), attacked very quickly. Gastly was hit directly, and the gas on his body also caused a secondary explosion, making him lose his combat capability.
“Garsis has lost its ability to fight, the challenger has won, please ask the gym master to replace the Pokémon,” Rotom announced as he flew down to confirm the situation.
“Come back, third brother, have a good rest. Come out, Haunter!” With Ling Yuan’s order, Haunter emerged from the shadow and flew directly to the battlefield. This is the second of the three funny brothers, and he has also broken through to level 35 (advanced intermediate) during this period.
“Flame Horse, keep up the good work and use the Fire Vortex,” Aqiang gave a direct order to pursue the victory.
“Haunter, get out of the way,” Ling Yuan gave the order to dodge directly, and Haunter disappeared on the spot.
“Flame Horse, use the Flame Wheel and move,” A Qiang learned his lesson and directly ordered the Flame Horse to roll to avoid sneak attacks.
“Haunter, Black Eye,” Haunter shot out black light directly from its eyes, directly freezing Infernape in place.
“Haunter, hypnosis,” Haunter used hypnosis directly on Lil’Earth’s face, and Lil’Earth fell asleep immediately.
“Damn it, come back, Flame Horse,” A Qiang wanted to take back Flame Horse when he saw that he fell asleep again, but he forgot the effect of the black gaze, and the elf failed to retrieve it directly.
“Haunter, Shadow Claws, Wave of Evil,” Haunter used Shadow Claws to hit Ragnarok from bottom to top, and then used Wave of Evil to knock the opponent away. Ragnarok woke up from sleep, but there were many wounds on its body, and it stood up with trembling legs.
“Blaze, are you okay?” A Qiang looked at Blaze nervously. Blaze shook his head to indicate that he was fine. He stared at the Haunter opposite him, with his hind legs on the ground, ready to rush out at any time.
“In that case, charge up the flame attack,” A Qiang clenched his fists tightly and swung them forward. The flaming horse raised its front hooves, and rushed towards Haunter with flames covering its entire body.
“Haunter, curse,” Ling Yuan looked at the heated command from the opposite side and continued to command calmly.
Black ripples appeared on Haunter’s body and hit the charging Flamehorse directly. Haunter was knocked away and lost its ability to fight, but Flamehorse was also hit by the curse. Although it could still stand up, it was already at the end of its strength.
“Haunter has lost its ability to fight. Flamehorn has won. Please ask the gym leader to replace the Pokémon.” As Haunter lost its ability to fight, the trainers watching nearby were cheering for Aqiang, and many trainers in the live broadcast were also cheering for him.
“Thank you for your hard work, Haunter. Gengar, come out!” As Ling Yuan took back the Haunter, another Gengar appeared from the shadow and flew to the center of the field.
“Flame Horse, please, Flame Wheel,” A Qiang once again asked Flame Horse to make a final effort.
“Geng Gui, Shadow Fist,” Geng Gui flew up and rushed towards the rolling Flame Horse. Bang! With one punch, the opponent was knocked away and lost the ability to fight.
“Flame Horse loses its ability to fight, Gengar wins, challenger, please change your Pokémon.”
“How could it be possible? The Flame Horse was killed with just one punch!” A Qiang didn’t expect that the Flame Horse’s final effort had no effect at all.
Looking at the smiling Gengar on the opposite side, the pressure in his heart became even greater. He looked at Ling Yuan on the opposite side and took back the Flame Horse.
Slide 32: Gym Battle (Part 2) (Old Version)
As Infernape was knocked out by a punch, the game came to match point. Both teams had only one Pokémon left. Gengar stood there with a grin on his face, and Ling Yuan looked at the opposite side indifferently.
“Come back, Flame Horse, you’ve worked hard. Come out, my trump card, the Platypus!”
As Aqiang released the last spirit, a duck-billed fire beast appeared, with two tumors on its head with flames pointing upwards, and fire-like patterns on its abdomen. There were red objects protruding from its hands, and objects similar to steel on its neck and ankles. This was a duck-billed fire beast.
In this era, the Evolution Research Institute in the Sinnoh region has already researched the evolved forms of Incarnate and Rhydon, but due to the high price and the shortage of supply, it has not been popularized within the League. Most of the time, only trainers above the gym level can afford the evolution items.
Looking at the duck-billed fire beast in front of him, Ling Yuan roughly understood who the other party admired. It should be the Fire King, Old Man Xia Bo, who was once one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Among the main forces of the other party, there is a duck-billed fire beast at the peak of the King level. It is probably still waiting for the best lava amplifier so that it can have a chance to try to break through to the champion level.
“Lurex, hot air!” As A Qiang shouted, Laurex blew hot air from its mouth towards Gengar. Looking at this Laurex that was already level 40 and almost able to break through to the elite level, Ling Yuan was thinking about how to give it some water, after all, Gengar was already level 46 (elite mid-level).
“Geng Gui, Shadow, Strange Light,” Ling Yuan gave the order without hesitation.
Gengar disappeared directly on the field, and hot wind blew past the place where Gengar was just now. A black shadow quickly attacked Infernape on the field. When Infernape wanted to stop and change its moves, it was too late. Gengar appeared directly behind it, with purple light emitting from his eyes. The strange light hit it directly, and Infernape fell into chaos.
A Qiang looked at the duck-billed fire beast that looked like it was drunk and kept shouting, feeling very anxious.
“Geng Gui, surprise attack, shadow claw.”
Gengar attached himself to the dark energy and knocked Infernape directly away. Infernape was still in a state of confusion, staggering and swinging his arms. Then a shadow claw directly knocked the opponent into the sky. Infernape’s eyes recovered at this time, but it still fell heavily to the ground.
“That’s great, you’ve recovered, Platypus,” A Qiang was relieved to see the Platypus recover.
“Roar!” Infernape climbed up from the ground and roared at Gengar.
“Duck-billed fire beast, spray smoke,” Aqiang began to change his strategy.
Thick smoke filled the field, directly covering Gengar and Infernape. Neither the trainers could see the battle, but the collision sounds coming from the smoke indicated that the battle between the two sides was very intense.
Bang, Gengar and Infernape came out of the smoke, Gengar had shadow claws on his hands, while Infernape was using fire fists.
Suddenly Gengar screamed, he was burned. It turned out that the characteristic of the opposite side’s Infernape was a body of fire. It was a low probability event that he was encountered by the opponent. Ling Yuan was very helpless and held his forehead.
“Infernape, use Flash Charge now,” A Qiang was about to kill the opponent, but found that Infernape could not move. This was because Gengar’s characteristic was Cursed Body, and the opponent fell into a state of stiffness.
The scene was very awkward for a while, until Gengar recovered from the burning and was barely able to move.
“Geng Gui, hypnosis.”
With the reappearance of hypnosis, Incubus fell asleep while standing, and was finally hit by Gengar’s continuous shadow balls and lost its combat ability.
“Charades has lost its ability to fight. Since all three of the challenger’s Pokémon have lost their ability to fight, the challenge has failed. The winner is the Dark Gym Leader Ling Yuan. This gym challenge is over and the video recording is over.” With the referee Rotom’s ending declaration, this gym challenge officially ended.
Ling Yuan took away Gengar and gave it to Rotom to heal, then walked towards the challenger Qiang.
A Qiang took back the duck-billed fire beast and was about to leave the gym, but was stopped by Ling Yuan.
“A Qiang, although there are still problems with your command and your ability to respond to emergencies needs to be improved, I have seen how your elf is fighting for you, and I think you deserve this,” Ling Yuan threw the badge in his hand to the other party, who was a little flattered.
“This gym leader Lingyuan, I clearly lost, this!” Actually, Aqiang looked down on Lingyuan at the beginning, thinking that he was just a rich second-generation who relied on his family. However, from the battle just now, it can be seen that Lingyuan’s level as a trainer and his control of timing are not something he can compare to. He is also convinced in his heart. After all, if he really fights against Lingyuan’s main Pokémon, he may not be able to survive a single move.
“The gym leader never gives you a badge only if you win the battle. I can feel your love for Pokémon and your passion as a Pokémon trainer, and I think you deserve it,” Ling Yuan waved his hand and handed over his first badge.
Looking at Aqiang showing off the badge to his friends, he also commented on the badge of the Dark Gym in the live broadcast.
With the end of the first gym battle and the effect of the live broadcast, many trainers came to the Dark Gym, hoping to get the Dark Badge to challenge the League Tournament, while some people wanted to gain fame by defeating Lingyuan, but their luck was not so good.
Since the Dark Gym currently has limited Pokémon, it can only host two battles a day in the morning and afternoon. However, you can first try the challenge event to obtain the challenge qualification, and then wait in line in the order of first come, first served.
After Aqiang, Lingyuan only gave out three badges. There were also gym-level trainers who wanted to take advantage of the popularity and came to live broadcast challenges. As a result, when Lingyuan saw that the opponent actually released a gym-level Pokémon, he directly sent out MiMikki-Q to beat the opponent with a mallet, making the opponent doubt his life. MiMikki-Q also advanced to level 57 (late gym level) during this period. More than a month has passed, the popularity has slowly subsided, and the challengers have begun to return to normal.
With the operation of the Dark Gym, the business of the haunted house was indirectly boosted. Although many people did not challenge the gym, they still wanted to try to collect tokens. Haunter and Mimikyu were constantly changing the dolls they possessed and having a lot of fun. As time went on, the Dark City Pokémon Center was put into operation.
That day, Ling Yuan received a text message from Qiao Ya, hoping that he could go to the train station to pick up her cousin. Ling Yuan reluctantly agreed and went directly to the train station, holding a sign with the words “Miss Joy”.
Ling Yuan looked at the time on his watch and was speechless. How come he was almost an hour late and he didn’t see Miss Joy come out? At this time, he saw Joy in pink casual clothes rushing out in a hurry with her luggage, followed by a Jigglypuff Egg.
“It’s over, it’s over. I’m almost an hour late. The owner of Lingyuan Pavilion must have gone back. What should I do?” Miss Joy lowered her head and rushed forward without even looking at Haunter who was holding a sign next to her.
“Lucky, lucky!” Jigglypuff rushed forward and grabbed Miss Joy, pointing in the direction of Lingyuan. As a Jigglypuff who could graduate from the Pokémon Nursing School, human language is the basic. As soon as Jigglypuff came out, he saw the sign held by Haunter.
“Excuse me, are you Miss Qiao Yizhen?” Ling Yuan asked uncertainly.
“Hello, are you the owner of Lingyuan Pavilion? That’s great, you didn’t leave.” Qiao Yijin said, patting her chest.
“Yes, that’s great, you finally came out, I thought I missed it,” Ling Yuan said with lingering fear.
Ling Yuan took Joeyzhen away from the train station and headed for the Pokémon Center. During the trip, he found out the reason why Joeyzhen was late. It turned out that she thought she had forgotten something, so she ran back to check when she got off the train. Then she thought she might have forgotten to take her ID, so she turned out all her things. However, she didn’t know that all the things were packed by Jigglypuff, and her ID was hanging around her neck.
When they arrived at the Dark City Pokémon Center, Joyzhen walked straight inside and bumped into the glass, shocking Lingyuan and Jigglypuff. Lingyuan teased in his heart, “This is not careless! Sister Ya, this is clearly a lack of strings!”
Chapter 33: Haunter Evolution (Old Version)
With the arrival of Joy-Jane, the Pokémon Center officially began operations. The commissioning of the train station also helped Dark City become a transportation hub between Crimson City and Jade Rainbow City, which indirectly led to a surge in passenger flow in Dark City. The haunted house business also increased, and now the Dark Gym’s online reputation has successfully surpassed that of the Cerulean Gym and the Nibe Gym.
According to the information Ling Yuan got, the youngest sister of the Cerulean Gym temporarily ran away from home because she couldn’t stand Granny Hua’s devilish training and hadn’t overcome her fear of Gyarados. The gym was handed over to the other three sisters for management and completely became a water ballet performance hall. It was rated as the weakest gym in Kanto according to the Internet. Granny Hua (the superb trainer behind the Cerulean Gym) was very unhappy about this and was in a very low mood at the sisters’ gathering.
As for the Nibe Gym, it was heard that the acting gym leader, Brock, went out traveling, and the previous gym leader, Takeneng, became the gym leader again. However, Takeneng’s coaching level is quite poor. Although he is a quasi-elite trainer, being a gym leader is not just about defeating the opponent, he must give enough guidance. Takeneng said nothing seriously, but instead came up with many crooked ideas, causing the gym’s evaluation to plummet. The former gym leader, Mr. Takeda (the elite trainer behind the Nibe Gym) discovered that his second grandson has some talent, and has begun to coach him. It is estimated that it will not be long before he can replace his unreliable father.
Dark Gym, battle venue, the last challenger in line.
“Haunter, dodge, Shadow Claw,” Ling Yuan commanded Haunter to avoid the opposite side’s solar beam and launched the final attack on Vileplume. Bang, Vileplume was knocked unconscious on the field. The girl on the opposite side rushed out and hugged her Vileplume.
“Stinky Flower, are you okay?” the girl asked while hugging Stinky Flower with concern.
“Beep, Skank has lost its ability to fight. Since all three of the challengers have lost their ability to fight, Xiaoqian from Yuhong City has failed in the challenge. This video will serve as reference data for referee Rotom. The video shooting is over.”
After Rotom read out the results of the competition, he left the venue directly, while Lingyuan came to the girl’s side with Haunter.
“Is Stinky Flower okay?” Ling Yuan asked with his head down.
“Master Lingyuan, Vileplume is fine. I will come to challenge you again,” the girl put Vileplume back into the Poké Ball and bowed to Lingyuan to express her gratitude.
“I’m glad you’re okay. Here, take this,” Ling Yuan handed the badge in his hand to the other party.
“Here, Master Lingyuan, I failed in the challenge, I can’t take it,” the girl looked at the badge in front of her. Although she wanted it very much, she still shook her head and refused.
“It is actually very difficult for you to choose the Dark Gym as your first gym, because most of my Pokémon are already at the intermediate level or above, which is not fair to you. Moreover, your Vileflower can learn Solar Beam at this stage, she is very talented. I hope you can continue to work hard with this badge and don’t let the Pokémon down,” Ling Yuan handed the badge to a girl of the same age as him.
“I, I, thank you, Master,” tears flashed in the girl’s eyes. She and the elves’ efforts were recognized, and the girl was so happy that she almost cried.
“Okay, take them to the Pokémon Center! Don’t delay the treatment,” Ling Yuan sent the girl out of the gym and was about to take the second child to the treatment room inside the gym.
“Jieshi, jieshi, jieshi,” Haunter suddenly came over and started dancing and gesticulating in front of Lingyuan.
“Haunter, do you mean that you are ready to evolve?” Ling Yuan asked uncertainly, looking at the Haunter in front of him.
After this period of training, Haunter has been at level 43 (elite beginner) for a while. Haunter has recently given up on storing energy and instead spent a lot of time training moves. He plans to absorb the energy of the Dark Stone he obtained before directly through evolution. Since he learned about the enemy who killed Lingyuan’s parents, Haunter has put away his mischievous nature and devoted himself to training, hoping to quickly reach the gym level so that he can help Lingyuan.
Ling Yuan touched Haunter’s head. As a Pokémon raised by Ling Yuan himself, Ling Yuan knew Haunter’s personality very well. When the other party proposed to absorb the energy of the Dark Stone, Ling Yuan agreed after thinking about it. After all, it was a Pokémon he raised himself.
After getting the Elf Candy, Tomb Dog has been perfecting the King’s Secret and is ready to enter the King level at any time through elemental resonance. Mimic Q is making up for the shortcomings of his skills and now he can stand on his own. He has faced many gym-level Elf challenges with ease. As the three funny brothers are not the main force, Lingyuan did not make too many demands on them.
On the contrary, Haunter has higher qualifications than Graveyard Hound, so Lingyuan has always been strict with him. Except for the time he works in the haunted house, he has been on the road of learning skills. The current situation is:
Level skills: Shadow Fist, Hypnosis, Strange Light, Licking Tongue, Black Gaze, Spell, Night Shadow, Misfortunes never come alone, Wave of Evil, Shadow Ball, Dream Eater, Same Fate, Shadow Claw, Stealth Attack, Raid, Provocation, Hold On, Flame Fist, Lightning Fist, Ice Fist, Magic Flash, Phosphorescence, 100,000 Volts, Thunder.
Haunter has the second most skills among Lingyuan’s Pokémon, second only to Gravehunter, and its attack range is also quite wide. Lingyuan also knows that he secretly ran away from him in the middle of the night to find Raichu and Luckycat for special training. Lingyuan is very pleased and feels that his cub has grown up.
“Okay, let’s go to the Pokémon Center together!” Ling Yuan took the second brother to the treatment room, and then they went to the Pokémon Center in Dark City together.
According to urban legend, Haunter needs to eat a Pikachu or a Pixie as a price to evolve into Gengar, but this is wrong. This is because Gengar’s ears look a bit similar to Pixie’s ears, which led to the rumor.
If a trainer’s Haunter wants to evolve into Gengar, it needs to use the Pokémon Exchange Device. This is because Haunter needs a special magnetic field to help it evolve. In scientific terms, it is the radiation of ghost energy magnetic field. When the concentration reaches a certain level, it will stimulate Haunter’s body to evolve. When the energy of a wild Haunter reaches a bottleneck, it will look for a place with a high concentration of ghost energy to live, and it will evolve naturally.
There is a certain problem with the Gengar evolved through the Exchange Device, that is, the increase in strength obtained is less than that of the wild Gengar in nature. This is because Gengar absorbs nearby ghost energy when evolving, which breaks the bottleneck and greatly increases its energy. However, the evolution of Gengar through the Exchange Device consumes its own stored energy, so that its strength does not change at all.
Ling Yuan was planning to let Haunter carry the Dark Stone and absorb energy directly while evolving. Since he already had a high aptitude, this would not cause any waste. Even Graveyard Hound would take action to seal off the lost energy and make the most of the Evolution Stone.
When Lingyuan and Haunter arrived at the Pokémon Center, as soon as they entered, they saw Joyzhen receiving the Poké Ball from the girl who had just challenged the gym.
“Sister Zhen, how have you been recently?” Ling Yuan took the initiative to greet Qiao Yizhen.
“Hey, Xiaoyuan, you’re here,” when Lingyuan walked next to Qiao Yijin, the other party finally reacted.
“We meet again, Pavilion Master Lingyuan,” Xiao Qian said to Lingyuan.
“Sister Zhen, I found some hidden injuries on Xiaoqian’s elf, which should be left by training. Can you help her take a look?” Ling Yuan looked at the girl in front of him and said directly to Qiao Yizhen.
“Is that so? Then I’ll check her right away!” Qiao Yijin walked straight inside, but after a few steps she bumped into the table next to her and almost fell, which scared Lingyuan and Xiaoqian.
“Lucky, lucky,” Jigglypuff quickly supported Joey Jane to avoid close contact with the ground.
Joyzhen is a top student who just graduated from medical school recently, but no one knows what her situation is. As a doctor, her skills are comparable to those of the senior Joy. She is very serious and focused at work, but her life skills are a mess, and she is sometimes careless, so the Joy family specially selected Chansey, the most patient and caring person in the Pokémon Nursing Academy, as her partner. This is also the reason why Joyya asked Lingyuan to pick her up, for fear that she would wander around with Chansey by herself.
After Joeyzhen entered the treatment room and resumed working condition, Lingyuan asked Jigglypuff to take him to find the elf exchange device.
Lingyuan gave the Dark Stone to Haunter, released Gravehunter to prepare, and used the switch to exchange Haunter’s Poké Ball. Bang, the Poké Ball opened and Haunter was covered in light. Gravehunter took action and wrapped Haunter in ghost energy.
As time passed, the light disappeared and Haunter successfully evolved into Gengar.
Elf: Gengar
Level: 47 (late elite level) (energy digestion in progress)
Level skills: Shadow Fist, Hypnosis, Strange Light, Licking Tongue, Black Gaze, Spell, Night Shadow, Misfortunes never come alone, Wave of Evil, Shadow Ball, Dream Eater, Same Fate, Shadow Claw, Stealth Attack, Raid, Provocation, Hold On, Flame Fist, Lightning Fist, Ice Fist, Magic Flash, Phosphorescent Lightning, 100,000 Volts, Thunder, Acid Bomb, Poison, Venom Shock.
By absorbing the energy of the Dark Stone during evolution, Gengar successfully reached the late elite stage, learned three poison-type skills, and as time went by, he was getting closer and closer to the gym stage.
“Grow up, the future depends on you!” Ling Yuan said, touching Gengar’s big head.
“Koujie, Koujie,” Geng Gui floated up and licked Lingyuan with his big tongue.
“Numb, numb,” Ling Yuan fell to the ground paralyzed. Gengar smiled and took out the cherry fruit from Ling Yuan’s pocket and fed it to Ling Yuan. This was the game they had always played. After Ling Yuan recovered, he took Gengar and Tomb Raider home.
Chapter 34: Mission Incoming: Ghosts Crying and Wolf Howling (Old Version)
With the successful evolution of Gengar, the challenges in the Dark Gym have returned to calm. Basically, there will be trainers coming to challenge every three or four days. Usually, Lingyuan commands Gengar and Mimikyu to fight to help Gengar absorb excess energy in its body, while Mimikyu is increasing the proficiency of his own skills. After the recent intensive study, Mimikyu’s skill pool has increased a lot.
Level: 57 (late gym)
Level skills: grab, scare, mallet, round pupils, imitate, shadow claws, play, split, shadow sneak attack, shadow clone, strange light, hold, magic flash, dream talk, phosphorescence, sneak attack, 100,000 volts, mist field, destructive light, trick space, grudge, ultimate impact, spell.
She learned many moves by learning from the Pokémon in the gym and by understanding her own fairy attributes, but learning and being able to use them skillfully are two different things, so recently she has been using new skills to fight Gengar, and sometimes ask Graveyard as a battle guide.
Bang! Gengar’s Magic Flash and Mimikyu’s Magic Flash collided, causing colorful energy fluctuations on the field.
Clap, clap, clap. “Okay, that’s enough for today. Let’s get ready for lunch,” Ling Yuan clapped his hands to stop the fight.
“Kakaka, (koujie, koujie)” Gengar and Mimikyu nodded and ran directly to the bathroom to wash up and wait for lunch.
When Ling Yuan prepared the energy blocks and spirit incense for the elves, a task option suddenly appeared in the system interface. Since the last task was completed, the system has not updated the task, resulting in Ling Yuan not knowing what the triggering conditions of this task were, so he just let it go. Now seeing the task appear, he is also very excited, because the last task allowed Ling Yuan to see Mimic Q and electric elves. It can be said that he has gained a lot. Ling Yuan directly clicked to open the task.
[Task name: Ghosts crying and wolves howling][Mission details: The Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town is the resting place of the elves, but recently strange cries and even terrible shouts have appeared at midnight, and the souls of the elves cannot rest in peace,…….][Quest requirements: Go and find out the truth about the ghosts crying and wolves howling, and bring peace to the souls][Mission Difficulty: Medium][Mission Reward: Unlock the Haunted House Horror Scene Death Hospital + Physical Strengthening + Primary Nether Power]When Ling Yuan finished reading the brochure, he fell into deep thought. Ziyuan Town was the town where he lived before being adopted by Grandma Kikuko, and the Pokémon Tower was a seven-story cemetery where deceased Pokémon rested. Every year, many trainers went there to mourn their own Pokémon.
The real Pokémon Tower is not just a small seven-story tower. It is one of the largest cemeteries in the Kanto region. There are tens of thousands of Pokémon graves in the tower. Except for the first and second floors, wild Pokémon can be found on other floors, and there will also be a large number of worshippers and trainers going to challenge them.
Among them, the prayer master is like the role of a priest in the previous life, helping the elves to pray and hope that they can rest in peace. However, those who join the vigil know that the prayer master belongs to the vigil guarding department, and his main job is to guard a third-level spirit world crack on the top floor of the Pokémon Tower. This crack is naturally generated and will appear at a fixed time every year. Many Pokémon souls will return to the spirit world at that time, and the prayer masters are responsible for preventing accidents from happening.
Ordinary trainers hope to capture a ghost-type Pokémon with better qualifications. After all, wild ghost-type Pokémon are elusive, and the Pokémon Tower is a place where a few ghost-type Pokémon gather in large numbers, so many people will go to try their luck.
However, the reason why Ling Yuan fell into deep thought was the description of the task. With his own atlas, he checked the keeper’s website and found that there was no description of any special circumstances in Ziyuan Town. There were actually souls that were restless. The prayer masters should have reported it. What was going on?
Ling Yuan put down the atlas, walked to his own video phone, and directly dialed the number with a special prefix. With a melody, Ding Dong rang.
“Hello, uncle, it’s me,” he greeted the person in the video.
“Xiao Yuan, why are you calling me? What happened to you?” Ling Chen rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up.
“Uncle, what’s wrong with you?” Ling Yuan asked curiously. It’s almost noon?
“Well, I’ve been working overtime outside these days to seal the cracks in the spirit world. I just came home to rest and you called me,” Ling Chen explained.
“Uncle, thank you for your hard work. I just want to ask you a question. The prayer master is in charge of the Pokémon Tower recently!” Ling Yuan went straight to the point.
“Huh? Why are you asking this suddenly? The day before yesterday, a third-level spirit world rift suddenly appeared in Johto. I invited the king-level prayer master of the Pokémon Tower and the abbot of Hoouin to work together to drive back the evil spirits and ghost-type Pokémon. Now his disciple, a quasi-king-level mid-level prayer master, should be guarding the Pokémon Tower. Recently, the spirit world rift is not open, so there shouldn’t be any big problems,” Ling Chen waved his hand and replied.
When Ling Yuan heard this, he started sweating profusely. It was over, something had happened. Although evil spirits and ghost-type Pokémon might not appear, the evil ones would definitely appear. Ling Yuan had already remembered a plot from his previous life. If it wasn’t a problem with the cracks in the spirit world, then…
“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Ling Chen was also wondering why Ling Yuan suddenly asked about the Pokémon Tower.
“I just suddenly wanted to go back to Ziyuan Town. There aren’t many challengers recently and I’m a bit bored. Ahaha!” Ling Yuan lied and fooled around. Ling Chen and Ling Yuan had not lived together for a long time and didn’t know that Ling Yuan was hiding something.
After Lingchen hung up the phone, Lingyuan directly called Grandma Kikuko.
“Xiao Yuan, why did you call me suddenly?” Kikuko asked her grandson curiously.
“Grandma, I want to go back to Ziyuan Town recently,” Lingyuan said to Kikuko.
“Huh? Why go back to Ziyuan Town?” Kikuko raised her eyebrows.
“I just want to go back and take a look, ahaha!” Ling Yuan didn’t know how to explain to his grandma. He couldn’t just say that he knew something happened in the Pokémon Tower and was going to run over to solve it!
“Tell the truth!” Kikuko stared at Lingyuan with sharp eyes.
“Uh, I just have a bad feeling. Something seems to have happened in the Pokémon Tower. I need to go check it out,” Lingyuan explained to Kikuko reluctantly.
“Hmm? Do you think something happened in the Pokémon Tower?” Kikuko fell into deep thought, staring at Lingyuan.
“Arrange the gym matters and go take a look. Contact me if you need anything,” Kikuko hung up the phone without asking any more questions.
“Alas, grandma knows me too well, but also trusts me too much,” Ling Yuan looked at the hung up phone, shook his head, and walked straight out. He had to rush to the Pokémon Tower immediately, and he didn’t know if he would be in time.
“All elves, gather,” Ling Yuan said directly into the loudspeaker. The elves in various venues heard Ling Yuan’s voice and all rushed to the kitchen.
“I just got the news that something might have happened at the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town. We need to rush there immediately. Candle, Mimikyu, Gengar, and Luckycat, you come with me. We need your help in managing Rotom’s house. If there are challengers, go and complete the challenge first, then wait in line until I come back to continue the gym competition. Now go and eat, we’re leaving soon,” Ling Yuan explained the situation to the elves in front of him. The elves immediately went to eat their lunch, and Ling Yuan went to pack his luggage, because he didn’t know how long this mission would take.
After Ling Yuan packed his luggage and put away the elves, he rushed to the train station. He needed to go to Jinhuang City first, and then transfer to Ziyuan Town. He could only pray that tragedy would not happen!
Chapter 35: Back to Ziyuan Town (Old Version)
Ling Yuan arrived in Jinhuang City as quickly as possible and took a taxi to the old house in Ziyuan Town.
Lavender Town is a famous Pokémon cemetery. All burial and mourning activities are carried out in the Pokémon Tower in the town. The total population of the town exceeds 5,000 people, and the main buildings include the Pokémon Center, Hotel B&B, Pokémon Tower, Pokémon House, Lavender Broadcasting Tower, and Soul House.
Due to the existence of a spirit world rift on the top floor of the Pokémon Tower, there are usually a large number of ghost-type Pokémon living in Lavender Town.
According to folklore, the ghosts in the tower are the souls of dead or murdered Pokémon. If anyone disturbs their sleep, you will be haunted by the evil spirits and die. This is a rumor. After all, there are prayer masters stationed there, so normally there will be no evil spirits. However, the departure of the king-level prayer masters led to a defense loophole.
Lingyuan was so anxious because he remembered a story from his past life. There were many Pokémon living near the Pokémon Tower, including the Garagara tribe. They had an item called Thick Bones, and their bones were priceless as materials for Pokémon items, so Team Rocket poached them. A Garagara mother was killed to protect her child, Caragara. The ghost of this Garagara lingered in the tower, and it was the protagonist of the game who helped them reunite. But Lingyuan was not sure if this happened in reality.
Judging from the mission, something must have happened in the Pokémon Tower. If it wasn’t caused by the crack in the spirit world, it must have been a man-made disaster. From the analysis of the situation, Lingyuan estimated that Team Rocket had set its sights on the corpses of the elves in the Pokémon Tower. A large part of the elf props themselves come from the elves themselves. Taking the corpses directly from the Pokémon Tower can save a lot of trouble, but this also causes the elves’ souls to be restless.
When the taxi arrived at the gate of a manor, Ling Yuan got out and quickly opened the door. Without taking time to observe, he threw his luggage and went directly to the Pokémon House. He wanted to see if there was an autistic Caracara and whether Dr. Fuji was still there.
Dr. Fuji, a tenured professor at Yuhong University, specializes in elf genetics, elf ecology and evolution. He was once a renowned researcher in Kanto, but an accident completely changed him. His daughter Xiaoai died in a car accident.
He went crazy and with the help of the resources in the Red Lotus Research Institute, he copied Xiao Ai’s consciousness into an electronic program at the moment of her death. After that, he became madly involved in the human cloning experiment, hoping to resurrect Xiao Ai by cloning his own daughter and injecting her with Xiao Ai’s copied consciousness. However, the research was stopped by the Alliance.
He disappeared from then on, and later people learned that he joined Team Rocket. Team Rocket provided him with all the materials for cloning experiments, but before Xiao Ai was resurrected, Team Rocket’s plan to clone the mythical beasts needed to be completed.
Later, for unknown reasons, Dr. Fuji surrendered himself and gave out a lot of information about Team Rocket, but he didn’t mention the cloning research. Many people wanted to put him in jail, but his connections helped him escape from prison. He opened a Pokémon House in Lavender Town as an adoption center for abandoned or problematic Pokémon, saying that it was his atonement. Many of his old friends sympathized with his experience, including Dr. Oak, but Lingyuan was very disdainful, thinking that taking in some Pokémon would atone for his sins! Can the deaths of the Pokémon that died because of your research be forgiven? To put it bluntly, it was because the Alliance coveted the knowledge in Fuji’s head that Dr. Fuji was able to live until now.
Ling Yuan came to the Pokémon House, a two-story building with an ecological park at the back, which was mainly home to many abandoned or mentally ill Pokémon.
“Hello, I’m the Dark City Gym Master, Ling Yuan. I’d like to talk to Mr. Fuji,” Ling Yuan showed his ID to the receptionist.
“Um, Dean, he is taking care of the Pokémon in the back. Let me take you there!” The receptionist led Ling Yuan to the backyard.
Lingyuan looked around and saw many Pokémon, including Nidorino, Psyduck, Pidgeot, and Beetle, which had more or less problems.
When they came to a rockery in the backyard, they saw old man Fuji taking care of a Pokémon in his hand. When they walked closer, they saw that it was a Caracara. Ling Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. Was he too late?
Looking at Caracara with lifeless eyes and clutching a bone tightly, he knew that his worries had come true and that something had happened to the prayer masters at the Pokémon Tower.
“Dean, this is the leader of the Dark Gym. He said he wants to see you about something,” the receptionist introduced Ling Yuan to old man Fuji.
“Oh!” Fuji hugged Caracalla in his arms, turned around and saw Ling Yuan with a complicated expression.
“Please leave for a while. I want to talk to this young man,” old man Fuji sent the receptionist away.
“Team Rocket is here, Mr. Fuji,” both sides were silent for a while, and Ling Yuan directly asked about the speculation about Team Rocket.
“Huh! How did you know?” Fuji’s pupils shrank and he spoke subconsciously.
“I’m the vigil keeper. Something happened to the prayer master in Ziyuan Town, so I came to take a look,” Ling Yuan took out his vigil keeper ID and continued to stare at Karakala.
“Alas, they are here to arrest me. According to the leader of Team Rocket, they want to force me to come out of the mountain. They have detained all the prayer masters at the top of the Pokémon Tower. They only give me three days to think about it, otherwise they will kill those prayer masters.”
Fuji seemed to have realized his true feelings and did not hide Lingyuan. At that time, Team Rocket was very dissatisfied with Fuji’s surrender, but they needed Fuji’s knowledge, so they attacked the prayer masters in Ziyuan Town and threatened Fuji to return to research with their lives. However, it was estimated that once Fuji agreed, the prayer masters’ lives would really be in danger, so Fuji thought that his old friend received the distress signal and sent Lingyuan.
“What’s going on with this Caracara?” Ling Yuan asked Fuji.
“This is collateral damage. The people who came to Lavender Town this time are subordinates of Bixias from Team Rocket. They were originally elf poachers. Many elves are just commodities to them. The mother of this Caracalla is one of the elves who were killed,” Fuji stroked Caracalla’s head, feeling very painful in his heart. He knew that this account would also be counted on him.
“Do you regret it? Regret that your research has brought so many tragedies,” Ling Yuan asked, staring at Fuji.
“Haha, I’ve been glorious, I’ve been crazy, I’ve also been miserable, but I’ve never regretted it,” Fuji stared at the young man in front of him.
“Really? Then who will perform the memorial service for the souls of the Pokémon that died because of you?” Ling Yuan stared at Fuji with sharp eyes, looking at the weathered old man in front of him.
“I, I,…” Old man Fuji didn’t know how to answer the young man in front of him.
“Carakala, if you still want to avenge your mother, come with me,” Ling Yuan ignored Dr. Fuji who was already immersed in self-blame, and instead said to Carakala.
“Kara, Kara,” Kara Kara, whose eyes were originally lifeless, showed a hint of spirit when she heard that she had to avenge her mother.
“Are you sure? That group of people are the real desperadoes. The prayer masters were ambushed by them and that’s why they got into trouble,” Fuji advised Lingyuan when he saw that he was going to attack Team Rocket directly. He didn’t want to add to his sins.
“This is none of your business. You should think about how to explain to the alliance, Dr. Fuji!” Ling Yuan didn’t go to see Dr. Fuji, and left with Carakala directly.
“Xiao Ai, is Dad really wrong?” Fuji said to himself as he watched Ling Yuan leave.
Ling Yuan brought Carakala back to his old house in Ziyuan Town and released all the elves. Looking at the autistic little brother in front of him, he looked at Ling Yuan curiously.
Lingyuan took a deep breath and explained the whole story. Mimikyu rushed over and hugged Caracara with his Shadow Claws. Luckycat was there to comfort him. Caracara’s body stiffened, and then he listened to Mimikyu telling about what had happened between him and the Pokémon Hunter.
Caracalla slowly regained his spirits, and at the end he hugged Mimikyu and cried bitterly. No one knew that Caracalla just needed a companion who could understand his feelings, and he endured it so hard o(╥﹏╥)o.
Looking at the crying Caracara, Ling Yuan knew that the problem was only solved temporarily. He looked in the direction of the Pokémon Tower, waiting for dark.
Chapter 36: Pokémon Tower (Old Version)
When night fell, Ling Yuan put on assassin equipment, wielded a long sword, and put all the Pokémons except the Gravehound into the Poké Ball.
Caracara temporarily entered the Poké Ball. He knew that he could endure anything in order to avenge his mother.
Ling Yuan promised Caracalla that this was only temporary and that it would be up to Caracalla to decide after the incident was over.
“Little Candle, prepare for battle. There will be a fierce battle tonight,” Ling Yuan, who was sitting on the back of the Tomb Dog, stroked the dog’s head.
“Woof woof woof,” Tomb Yang Dog also became serious. After breaking through the peak of Quasi-King, except for the battle with Rogue Crocodile, he had no chance to take action again. Tomb Yang Dog was also very excited. He wanted to help his little brother Carakala to destroy these Rocket Teams.
As the ghost energy surged, Lingyuan and GraveHound disappeared directly in the old house and ran towards the Pokémon Tower. When they arrived at the bottom of the tower, they could see that the door was closed. Lingyuan took GraveHound back into the Poké Ball with his left hand, and released Gengar with his right hand and went directly into Gengar’s dimensional belly.
Lingyuan’s assassin equipment can be said to be the top-level soul-guarding equipment specially made by Kikuko. The cloak and the cloth on the body are made of pseudo-spiritual cloth made by champion-level Gengar, which can perfectly shield the impact on the human body when entering the shadow space. The mask and armor are top-level equipment made of broken cursed armor and broken teapot. The long sword is made of a mixture of steel shed by the king-level Boskodora and the king-level shield sword monster, which can cut iron like mud. A breathing device is set inside the mask, which can infiltrate with the ghost system for an hour without breathing. This is also one of the guarantees for the joint assassination tactics of humans and ghost systems. In the interlayer of the clothes on the body, there are many potions, poisons, antidotes, laxatives, etc. needed in the battle.
As Gengar entered the Pokémon Tower directly through Stealth, Lingyuan came out of Gengar’s stomach and looked at the situation around him. The first floor was full of graves of ordinary resident Pokémon. These Pokémon were not very strong when they were alive. Team Rocket’s target should be the skeletons of gym-level Pokémon above the fourth floor, so the first floor was still intact, and the cemeteries around were all intact.
As the number of layers increases, the power of the buried Pokémon becomes stronger, and the impact on humans becomes greater. This is because after the death of many Pokémon that were powerful in their lifetime, their corpses can be said to have a strong attraction to the ghost type. Therefore, arranging the layers according to strength is also for the convenience of management and suppression by the prayer master.
Ling Yuan walked past a wooden tombstone with the words “To our best friend – Kou Daihua” written on it. On the tombstone, one could see a photo of Kou Daihua and the children from the orphanage, but now it had been destroyed, the tombstone had been stepped on, and there was a shoe print on the photo.
Ling Yuan frowned and clenched his hands tightly. He knew that it was the Rockets who did it. No one else would disrespect the elves’ cemetery. No matter how shabby the cemetery was, Ling Yuan knew that he would not let the Rockets go. Normally, Ling Yuan needed to notify the local Junsha and search officers to handle it. Since it involved the Keeper of the Souls organization, he could directly notify his superior uncle Ling Chen.
However, Ling Yuan did not do so. He needed the Rockets to pay the price. Ling Yuan re-supported the remaining part of the tombstone, gently wiped the photo with a handkerchief, and then continued to walk to the second floor. Not long after Ling Yuan left, a floating elf with a hairstyle like phosphorescence, red irises, and a string of conspicuous red beads around its neck came to the tombstone, “Dream, dream?”
As he came to the second floor, Ling Yuan could see more and more tombstones and cemeteries being destroyed, some even dug up and the bones taken away. Ling Yuan’s anger rose in his heart, and he walked towards the third floor from the path next to him. At this time, he heard the voices of other people.
“Hey, captain, when will the mission be over? I’m staying here every day and I feel like I’m getting sick,” a soldier in a Team Rocket uniform complained to the person next to him.
“How would I know? I guess we can leave in a few days. Okay, go dig graves quickly. We still have a lot of extra money to earn!” replied the soldier holding the shovel.
“What are we going to dig today? I’ve been digging graves these past few days and I’m tired of it,” the soldier said as he took the shovel from his back.
“Well, I guess the graves of the armored rhinoceros and the toucan can be dug up. The armor and sharp beaks are still very valuable,” the soldier pointed to two graves nearby.
Just when they were about to take action, Gengar used his black gaze to freeze the two of them. Ling Yuan came from the corner and asked Gengar to use hypnosis.
“Now I’m asking questions and you answer them. Do you hear me clearly?” Ling Yuan asked directly.
“I heard it clearly,” the soldiers nodded stiffly.
“Which department of Team Rocket are you from? Who is the captain? How are the prayer masters?” Ling Yuan stared at the soldier in front of him.
“We are members of the hunting department under Lord Bixias. Our captain is a quasi-king trainer codenamed Poison Scorpion. Prayer Master was knocked unconscious by the captain’s poison and imprisoned in a room on the sixth floor. If there is no antidote in two days, he will die slowly,” the two soldiers said in unison.
“Where is the antidote? Who destroyed those tombs?” Ling Yuan was also shocked.
“We don’t know. Only the captain knows where the antidote is. These graves were dug by those of us assigned to do the digging,” the soldiers answered mechanically, and then answered a few more questions until they could answer no more.
“It seems it’s useless, Gengar,” Gengar quickly broke the necks of the two people and even ate their souls directly. If you don’t respect death, then embrace death. Gengar threw the corpses into his stomach and left them for later processing.
Ling Yuan was thinking in his mind that he had to help the prayer master find the antidote, and at the same time, he had to catch all the Rocket Team members in one fell swoop. Moreover, this place was not suitable for a quasi-king-level Pokémon battle. The risk of the entire Pokémon Tower collapsing was too high. He also had to complete the system’s task. Ling Yuan was thinking about what to do next.
The disappearance of the two soldiers will be exposed sooner or later, and Ling Yuan doesn’t have much time left.
Ling Yuan went directly into Gengar’s stomach, and flew upstairs with Gengar’s stealth. When he reached the third floor, many Team Rocket members were already digging graves and coffins. It was very lively. Gengar directly used the Stealth Attack and flew to the beam. Ling Yuan stuck a head out of Gengar’s stomach and looked at everything below. Ling Yuan also knew that now was not the time to deal with them, so he directly ordered Gengar to float to the fourth floor.
When we got to the fourth floor, we could see about 15 people camping and cooking in the messy cemetery below, and many of the cemeteries had been flattened.
“When do you think the boss will deal with those prayer masters? We have to feed them before they die. It’s so unlucky that we can’t even cook for ourselves,” complained a member of Team Rocket who was cooking.
“Don’t complain. Those best corpses have been sealed by the prayer master. If we don’t ask for a way to break the seal, we will lose a lot of money,” replied Team Rocket next to them.
“How long do you think we can rest after we finish this job?”
“How would I know? We can only drink the soup after the bosses have finished eating the meat. Let’s wait.”
Looking at the soup in front of him, Ling Yuan knew how to deal with these guys. When the Rockets covered the pot and he went to brag with other members, a shadow claw stretched out from under the table, gently lifted the pot lid, and threw a pill into it. This was a special laxative prepared by Ling Yuan, which would definitely take effect in 15 minutes. After completing the task, Mimic Q went straight back to the shadow of the beam next to it and returned to Ling Yuan’s shoulder.
Watching the prepared broth being sent to the upper and lower levels, all that needs to be done now is to wait for the moment when the medicinal effect takes effect.
Chapter 37: Team Rocket’s Conspiracy (Old Version)
As the soup stock was sent to the upper and lower floors respectively, Ling Yuan entered Gengar’s stomach again. Gengar used stealth to rush upstairs along the wall from the shadow of the beam, keeping a distance and following behind the soldier.
The seventh floor of the Pokémon Tower is also the seal of the spiritual world rift. It should have been the place for prayer masters to pray and for Pokémon to practice daily, but now it is in a mess, with Pokémon skeletons placed randomly everywhere. Several appraisers are processing the skeletons in order to use them as the best raw materials for Pokémon props.
In the middle of the hall, there was a chair with a young man in priest’s attire tied to it. He looked to be in his early twenties, with disheveled hair and scars all over his handsome face, as if he had been slapped many times. There was blood at the corners of his mouth, and his body was weak and powerless, and even his consciousness had begun to blur.
“Now it’s time to tell you, Shuimu, as long as you tell me how to unlock the seal of the champion-level corpse, I will give you a quick death,” the scorpion with a slicked-back hair, who looked to be almost thirty years old, squatted in front of the chair and patted the other’s face with his hand.
“I will never tell you even if I die. When my teacher comes back, you will all pay the price,” Mizuki roared with his last bit of strength and fainted.
“Heh, you’re not going to give in to soft or hard tactics.” The scorpion grabbed Shuimu’s hair, confirmed that he had fainted, and turned to ask, “Are you sure that the old guy won’t come back so soon?”
“I got the news that he ran to Kikyo City in Johto to seal the third-level spiritual world rift,” a voice came from the side, and a woman in a shrine maiden’s costume replied.
“Hehe, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t dare to come and touch the old guy’s whiskers. Who would have thought that the prayer master’s second sister Shirley is a member of our Team Rocket’s Anbu,” Scorpion teased.
“If it weren’t for your mission, I wouldn’t have been exposed. Do you know how much effort I put in to infiltrate the prayer division?” Shirley retorted angrily.
“Okay, okay, I’ll give you half of the profits this time, okay?” Scorpion walked over and hugged the other person to comfort him.
“Hmph, if that old guy wasn’t so suspicious by nature and only told Shuimu about the seal, we wouldn’t need so much effort,” he looked at Shuimu in front of him and slapped him, but Shuimu had completely lost consciousness due to the poison.
Just as the two people downstairs were being affectionate with each other, dinner was brought up from downstairs. The soldiers divided the food and then returned downstairs, but no one saw a black shadow blending in with the pillar next to it.
“We still have to find a way quickly. If we can’t open the seal, the loss this time will be huge. Champion-level corpses are treasures worth billions,” Scorpion walked to five coffins sealed by energy shields.
“These five were all elves who were once local champions. The weakest of them was at least mid-level champion when they were alive. A set of skeletons is enough for us for a lifetime,” Shirley stared at the five coffins with fiery eyes.
“Aheng (Scorpion’s original name), when this vote is over, we will leave Team Rocket, take the money and run away to live in other areas,” Shirley said coquettishly to Scorpion.
“Hey, are you sure? You can retire after completing the points. I’m afraid of being hunted down by Team Rocket,” Scorpion said uncertainly.
“But I’m afraid that we won’t live to see retirement. Even if you come here secretly to earn extra money this time, if that old man Bixias finds out, we’ll be in trouble too,” Shirley was worried that their secret actions this time had touched Bixias’ bottom line. If they were caught, they might suffer a fate worse than death.
“Hmph, at worst I can just become Lord Apollo’s disciple and offer him money as a sacrifice. There’s always a way,” Scorpion’s eyes were fierce, he had already made up his mind.
When Scorpion, Shirley and several appraisers were having dinner, Gengar moved from the pillar to under the chair. Gengar confirmed through life sensing that the other party was still alive, but had completely lost consciousness. Ling Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If his private actions led to the death of the prayer master’s disciple, he didn’t know how to explain to his uncle.
Seeing that the other party would be safe for the time being, Gengar immediately left and hid nearby, waiting for the drug to take effect.
15 minutes passed.
“What’s going on! My stomach!” Everyone present suddenly felt a sharp pain and felt like it was about to explode at any time, so they all rushed to the toilet.
At this time, Gengar rushed out immediately, and with a shadow claw, he cut the rope on Shuimu’s body. Ling Yuan came out directly and fed Shuimu the internal medicine he carried with him. This was a high-grade nutrient solution made from the eggs of Jigglypuff. Although it could not detoxify, it could temporarily save the other party’s life.
Bang, bang, a series of missile needles blasted directly towards Lingyuan. The Poké Ball on Lingyuan opened automatically, and the Grave Dog used Guard to cover Lingyuan and Shuimu. Boom! The smoke and dust dissipated, Shuimu had disappeared, and the mask on Lingyuan’s face also disappeared. Gengar had already transferred the opponent away.
“It’s kid! You are, you are the Dark City Gym Master, Ling Yuan!” When Poison Scorpion saw the other person’s face clearly, he recognized him immediately. This was the Dark City Gym Master who became famous a few months ago.
Looking at the Dragon King Scorpion standing next to the poisonous scorpion and the Scorpion King flying in the air, Ling Yuan knew that this would be a fierce battle.

Clang! Ling Yuan didn’t reply. He drew out the long sword with his right hand. The Mimic Q standing on his left shoulder took a stance and used two shadow claws, which stretched out from Ling Yuan’s shoulders. It looked like Ling Yuan had four hands. The Tomb Dog was ready for battle, and the situation on the scene was about to break out.
“Dragon King Scorpion, Poison Dragon Attack, Scorpion King, Poison Dragon Cross Scissors,” Poison Scorpion used his ultimate move without hesitation. He knew that the opponent was at the peak of the quasi-king level, and he might die on the spot if he didn’t attack forcefully.
“Little Candle, the coffin exploded,” Ling Yuan originally wanted to avoid the fight, but now there was no way to avoid it, so he had to go ahead.
Boom! The purple energy bomb collided with the purple beam and purple cross slash on the opposite side, boom! There was an explosion. Whether it was the Rocket team members who were using the toilet downstairs or the residents living in Lavender Town, they all heard the huge explosion. Gengar took Shuimu, who had regained some consciousness, and quickly rushed to rescue the other prayer masters. Only in this way could they rush back to Lingyuan as quickly as possible.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Scorpion hid directly next to the champion Pokémon’s coffin, while Lingyuan used Mimikyu’s Shadow Claws to cover his entire body in the first place, and then hid behind the pillar next to him.
After the explosion, Ling Yuan saw a figure rushing over from the side. He gestured directly to Mimic Q and disappeared on the spot.
The Tomb Dog has already fought with the Dragon King Scorpion and the Scorpio King. The Tomb Dog is fighting one against two and uses the Secret Attack to avoid the opponent’s sneak attacks and bites. Then he uses the Play to knock the Dragon King Scorpion away. Then he jumps to high altitude and attacks the Scorpio King’s wings with his Frozen Teeth. The Scorpion King moves to high altitude at high speed to avoid the Tomb Dog’s attack. The Dragon King Scorpion uses the Wave of Evil to sweep past. The Tomb Dog uses the Secret Attack to disappear on the spot. Both sides refuse to give an inch.
“There should be no grudge between you and me. You go your way, and I go mine. We should keep to ourselves,” Duxie persuaded Ling Yuan to let him go, and was even willing to share the money with him.
At this moment, the Scorpion saw that the pillar opposite did not respond, and wondered what the other party was trying to do.
“Ah!” A miserable female voice was heard. Poison Scorpion turned his head to look to the left. The long sword had pierced Shirley’s chest as she rushed back from the toilet. In the distance was her partner, a late-gym-level Cool Leopard, who was blasted against the wall by Mimic Q’s Magic Flash sneak attack. Ling Yuan pulled out the long sword and threw the blood on the sword to the ground. Shirley closed her eyes and fell backwards to the ground. Her heart was pierced, and she didn’t know she would live long.
[Sulli: Fear value +5000][Ah Heng (Poisonous Scorpion): Fear Value +1000]“Shirley! Ling Yuan, I want you dead!” Scorpion didn’t care about so much, bang bang bang, he pulled out the pistol from his waist and emptied the magazine at Ling Yuan. The Leke Cat standing next to him immediately used the concentrated energy shield to cover Ling Yuan, and all the bullets hit the energy shield, producing sparks.
Poison Scorpion pulled out a dagger from his waist and rushed towards Lingyuan. Leke Cat used electromagnetic waves to attack, but the opponent jumped to avoid it. Poison Scorpion released the pincer-tailed scorpion to block the attacking Leke Cat, and rushed towards Lingyuan himself. He wanted to avenge his girlfriend with his own hands.
Ling Yuan looked at the poisonous scorpion rushing towards him, and rushed forward with a long sword to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Bang, bang, bang. After several close combats, Ling Yuan used his short stature to avoid the opponent’s fighting skills, and occasionally used the long sword to make sneak attacks. Mimic Q was fighting crazily with the furious Cool Leopard who saw his master die. The battle was about to become fierce.
Chapter 38: Death of the Scorpion (Old Version)
Before Sakaki took full control of Team Rocket, a large number of new members would be recruited every year. Most of the new members would undergo trials. Usually, the collected orphans would be sent to an isolated island. Everyone had a chance to choose a Pokémon, and then it would be a battle royale mode. There were a total of 100 people, but only 50 tokens, and the distributed Pokémons were also uneven. The trial lasted for a total of 5 days, and in the end, there might not even be 50 people together.
These newcomers will be sent to the Hunting Department, the Cultural Department, the Combat Department, the Anbu Department, the Scientific Research Department, etc., but the cruel trials cause many members to have psychological problems or loyalty issues. After Sakaki took full power, he immediately abolished this test and instead built the Rocket Team School to systematically train talents. The original lifelong system was changed to a points-based retirement system. When you have paid off the educational costs invested by the Rocket Team in you and collected enough points, the Rocket Team will allow you to retire, and even the Rocket Team will completely destroy your file and provide you with a new identity for survival. This is one of the main reasons why many Rocket Team members are willing to be loyal to Sakaki.
Ten years ago, Hell Island, Team Rocket’s rookie trial ground
Swish, swish, swish. A boy who looks like he is about 18 years old was running wildly in the forest with a scorpion, and the sound of flapping wings came from behind.
“Scorpion, hurry up, the pursuers are catching up with us,” the young man urged Scorpion to run faster, as the pursuers were almost catching up with him.
“Click, click, click,” the pincer-tailed scorpion moved its four short legs, constantly chasing the person in front of it who might be its temporary master.
Bang, there was a gust of wind coming from behind, and the boy simply hugged the scorpion and rolled to the side to avoid the deadly air blade.
When the boy stood up and looked at the enemy in front of him, there was a bat Pokémon flying next to him. It was Zubat.
“Amu, are you going to kill us all?” the young man questioned the person in front of him.
“Hahaha, Ah Heng, don’t be naive. This is a trial of life and death. Give me your score card and I will leave you an intact body,” the opponent said and ordered Zubat to use ultrasound. Ah Heng covered his ears directly. Scorpion was also in great pain and unable to move. Just when the opponent proudly thought that he could get a score card, a purple shadow flashed by.
“I, I, Puff!” A bloody mark was left on the opponent’s neck, and blood gushed out continuously. The Zubat suddenly discovered that its temporary master was dead, and it fled in panic and flew towards the woods.
Ah Heng released his hands from covering his ears and opened his eyes to see a pickpocket cat licking its paws in front of him and a girl wearing the Rocket Team Trial Uniform.
“Who are you?” Ah Heng was secretly alert, and the scorpion tail also made an attacking posture towards the pickpocket cat.
“Is this how you treat your savior?” the girl teased with a pout.
“My name is Shirley. From today on, your life belongs to me! Do you understand?” The girl said and left with the pickpocket cat.
Later, Heng passed the trial, joined the hunting department and was assigned to Bixias, while Shirley joined the Anbu and became an undercover agent in the alliance. As time went by, the two fell in love. After Sakaki came to power, he saw hope for a peaceful life, so Heng and Shirley agreed to get married immediately after retirement. They left Kanto and went to live in other areas, living a simple life together until old age.
The agreement with Shirley flashed through Scorpion’s mind. His eyes were bloodshot and his chopping movements became more ferocious. As a member of the hunting department, he hunted in the wild all year round. He needed to be careful of sneak attacks from wild Pokémon at all times, and he needed to pay more attention to people’s hearts. Not only did he have to be careful of sneak attacks from the hunter organization, but even more so from betrayal within Team Rocket. The reason why he didn’t get hit just now was because he didn’t drink the soup but ate the dry food he prepared. When everyone else got hit, he pretended to leave and waited for the setter to appear, and then launched a sneak attack.
The killing techniques he learned from the wild were very fierce. He concentrated his attacks on Ling Yuan’s neck, eyes, and chest, and every move was fatal.
Ling Yuan used his short body to constantly dodge the opponent’s fists and daggers. Although Ling Yuan himself had been taught by Kikuko and the Jinhuang City Fighting Gym, his physical fitness at the age of 10 was at a great disadvantage. If he was hit by a punch from the opponent, Ling Yuan would immediately reveal a flaw.
Boom! The sound of the Quasi-King battlefield was getting louder and louder. If you look from high above, you can see that cracks have begun to appear in the center of the hall. The cracks are getting bigger and bigger, and have begun to affect the supporting pillars next to them.
Crack! The ground suddenly caved in, and Ling Yuan’s feet were unbalanced, leaving a momentary flaw.
“You’ll be buried with Shirley,” Scorpion kicked Ling Yuan in the face with all his strength. Ling Yuan blocked with his hands crossed and was kicked away.
When Mimi Q saw Ling Yuan being kicked away, he also became furious, “Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!”
Mini Q used Shadow Claw to fight against the crazy Panther. Panther attacked the puppet on Mimi Q’s head, and an energy body similar to the puppet was scratched. Panther also showed a flaw for a moment. This is the Painted Skin feature (the Painted Skin feature will prevent any attack moves or chaos from causing damage only once, and make Mimikyu lose 1?8 of its maximum HP and turn into its true form until the end of the battle.), Mimi Q took the opportunity to grab the opponent with Shadow Claw, and used its tail to use a mallet to hit Panther’s head hard. Bang! Panther’s head was directly blown up.
Mimikyu changed into its current form and rushed towards Lingyuan. The Lekecat, who was still fighting nearby, originally planned to stop suppressing his evolution in exchange for victory and then immediately support Lingyuan, but when he saw his mother rushing over, he concentrated on facing his enemy and used electric discharge on the pincer tail scorpion, and the pincer tail scorpion waved the fangs on its forehead to launch a poison attack.
Ling Yuan’s body fell to the ground, his sword was thrown away, his body rolled on the ground several times, his head tilted and he became motionless.
“Hmph! No matter how talented you are, you’re just a 10-year-old kid,” Poison Scorpion walked to Ling Yuan and prepared to give him the final blow, just as the dagger was about to stab Ling Yuan.
The scorpion suddenly felt alarmed and immediately stood up and tilted his head to avoid the flying dart. The dart grazed the scorpion’s cheek, leaving a faint mark of blood.
Ling Yuan climbed up and sat on the ground, panting, “Haha, your sixth sense is really powerful, you are worthy of being a wild fighting master.”
“I almost fell into your trap, little boy, do you have any last words?” The Scorpion grabbed the dagger and prepared to kill Ling Yuan.
“Last words? Have a safe journey,” Ling Yuan said jokingly to the other party.
“What, Ah! Ah! Ah!” The poisonous scorpion suddenly grabbed its own face and screamed continuously. The wound began to fester rapidly and slowly spread to the whole body. In less than a minute, the poisonous scorpion turned into a pool of blood.
[Ah Heng (Poisonous Scorpion): Fear Value +5000]“Hmph, the poison of the top-level King-class Gengar is a bargain for you!” Ling Yuan stood up, picked up the sword, walked to the corroded ground, and carefully preserved the dart. This dart was extracted with the poison obtained from the main force of Kikuko’s Team 3, the King-class Gengar, and was maintained by him for a period of time. It is one of Ling Yuan’s killer weapons in wild battles.
“Crack, crack, crack,” Mi Mi Q rushed over and saw that Ling Yuan was fine, but there was a pool of blood with the enemy’s breath next to him. Only then did Mi Mi Q feel relieved.
Looking at Mimikyu’s current state, Ling Yuan knew that it had activated its Painted Skin attribute. “Little Mimikyu, the floor can’t hold up anymore. Go help Leke Cat immediately. Let’s go,” Ling Yuan looked at the ground that had more and more cracks, and immediately rushed to help Leke Cat with Mimikyu.
When they arrived at the battlefield of Lukecat, they saw that Lukecat launched the last 100,000 volts at Scorpion, which was directly charred by the electricity and lost its combat ability. After a period of intensive training, Lukecat learned quite a lot of moves from Raichu and Rotom.
Level: 33 (Advanced Beginner)
Level skills: impact, bite, electric shock, glare, roar, crush, discharge, electromagnetic wave, hold, crazy volts, 100,000 volts, iron tail, charging beam, lightning fang, flame fang, slam, strange light, electric ball.
After winning, Leke Cat was relieved to see Ling Yuan and his mother coming. Suddenly, his head tilted and he fainted. Purple color appeared on his body. Ling Yuan and Mimi Q rushed over immediately and found that he was poisoned. The level of the Scorpion Tail was higher than Leke Cat. In addition to the advantage of long-range attack, defeating the opponent was not without price. Ling Yuan took out the antidote serum from his clothes and injected it into Leke Cat’s body. He felt relieved when he saw the purple color fade away.
“It’s okay, little Mimikyu. This is a top-level antidote. We’ll go to the Pokémon Center for a check-up later,” Ling Yuan comforted the very uneasy Mimikyu. Ling Yuan took the Lukecat back into the Poké Ball, and took the Venom Scorpion’s Poké Ball back to lock the Scorpion back in.
Boom, the ground could no longer support it. Mimic Q rushed directly to Ling Yuan’s shoulder and stretched out its shadow claws. One claw got stuck into the broken pillar, and the other claw grabbed Ling Yuan to prevent him from falling.
“Akaka, (Woof woof)” Graveyard and King Scorpion fell directly from the sixth floor of the Pokémon Tower. King Scorpion flew to the side at this time, trying to find his master, but his efforts were destined to be in vain. Lingyuan aimed directly at King Scorpion and took it back into the Poké Ball and locked it. The Rocket Team’s Poké Ball was stronger than the League’s Poké Ball. After all, they were very afraid of the Pokémon rebelling.
Looking at the pit below, Ling Yuan could still hear the sound of fighting. He knew that the battle between the Tomb Dog and the Dragon King Scorpion was not over yet.
Chapter 39: Death of the Dragon King Scorpion (Old Version)
Following the explosions that followed the start of the Quasi-King battle, Lavender Town immediately fell into chaos. Residents were calling the police, and trainers with some ability went to the Pokémon Tower to see what was going on. News was also spreading rapidly over the Internet.
“Hello, I’m Zhenci, what’s going on?” A bald man wearing a priest’s uniform and a magic bead around his neck was sitting on the maglev train from Johto to Jinhuang City.
“Master Zhenci, I’m Joey from Lavender Town. There’s been an accident at the Pokémon Tower. We all heard the explosion. Please come back quickly.” Faced with the chaos that was beginning to appear in the Pokémon Center, Joey from Lavender Town immediately called the prayer master Zhenci.
“What! There was an explosion in the Pokémon Tower! Where’s Mizuki? Where’s Shirley? What are they doing?” Zhenci was very tired from sealing the rift in the spirit world, but was awakened by Joey’s words.
“I don’t know. I only know that the sound of fighting is getting louder and louder. It seemed like the Pokémon Tower collapsed just now,” Joey was very worried as he looked at the information brought back by the trainer.
“I will contact someone immediately. You notify Junsha and the investigator immediately. I will rush back immediately.” Zhenci looked at the illustration that had not responded. He knew that something had happened to his disciples.
“I’ll notify him right away, Master Zhenci, please!” Joey replied and hung up the phone.
“Oh, what’s going on!” Zhenci knew that Rada had mixed into his team. His decision to seal the rift in the spiritual world was sudden, and only a few people knew about it. How could something go wrong just as he left?
“Come out, Pupu Pig, teleport,” Zhenci released a tall Pupu Pig and took Zhenci to the outside of the maglev train. He opened the Poké Ball and a huge Pidgeot appeared. He took back the Pupu Pig, and Zhenci rode on the Pidgeot and quickly rushed to the Pokémon Tower.
Ding-dong, ding-dong-dong! “Hello, Zhenci, why did you call me suddenly?” Lingchen had regained some energy after a nap.
“Achen, something happened at the Pokémon Tower. I need you to help me gather the trustworthy guardians in Kanto for support!” Zhenci immediately sought help from his old friend.
“What! Something happened in the Pokémon Tower!” Ling Chen was stunned. How could something happen suddenly? Then he suddenly remembered something and immediately sent a text message using the communicator, but there was no reply at all.
“Zhenci, I don’t know what happened, but my nephew may be in the Pokémon Tower,” Lingchen replied to Zhenci seriously.
“Huh? The Dark Gym Leader, Ling Yuan, why is he in the Pokémon Tower,” Zhenci was stunned, what was going on.
“I just remembered that my nephew said he wanted to go back to Ziyuan Town and asked me about the situation of the prayer master. His attitude was problematic at the time. I guess he received some information and he has already run over to support me. I will contact the teacher immediately. You hurry back. I am also ready to leave.”
Ling Chen explained his nephew’s strange reaction before and decided to go over to support him immediately.
“I understand. If he really saves the Pokémon Tower, I will prepare a promotion ceremony for him to the King level.” Zhenci also knew that the situation was urgent. He hung up the phone and asked Pidgeot to rush back to the Pokémon Tower as fast as possible. The mid-level King level Pidgeot immediately accelerated, a sonic boom cloud appeared behind him, and bang, it turned into an afterimage and flew towards Lavender Town.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen directly dialed another exclusive number.
“Hello,” Kikuko picked up the phone and looked at the report in her hand.
“Teacher Kikuko, something happened in the Pokémon Tower. I need to use the authority to mobilize people. Xiao Yuan seems to have been in trouble as well,” Ling Chen requested. Only the leader has the right to mobilize the guardians on a large scale. After Ling Yuan’s parents disappeared, the power returned to Kikuko’s hands.
“Haha, a prayer master named Rattata has sneaked in to the Pokémon Tower. Xiao Yuan rushed there in advance. There are people from Team Rocket among the prayer masters,” Kikuko looked at the background check on the prayer masters in front of her and finally locked on the information of the second senior sister Shirley.
“Team Rocket? Damn, they are targeting those champion-level skeletons!” Ling Chen immediately figured out the key.
“I have arranged another third-level guard. You should find a way to deal with Rada among the vigil keeper? He has even risen to the position of the third-in-command of the prayer master,” Kikuko also teased.
“I understand, Teacher Kikuko,” Ling Chen also knew that the previous losses were too great, and later in order to increase manpower, the requirements were lowered. As a result, there are loopholes within the vigil.
The scene returns to the Pokémon Tower, between the seventh and sixth floors.
“Roar!” The moment it fell, the Tomb Dog used the ghost energy as a springboard, rushed to the wall next to it, grabbed the wall with its claws, and slid to the sixth floor.
The Dragon King Scorpion fell directly from the seventh floor to the sixth floor. Two of his legs were broken. He used pliers to support himself and barely stood up. He stared at the direction of the Grave Dog. He knew that the battle was not over yet. With them fell the corpses of many Pokémon and several appraisers. They fell to death on the spot. Boom! The champion-level coffin fell to the ground with a sound, but it was well protected by the energy shield.
“Crack, crack, crack,” the Dragon King Scorpion breathed heavily, he knew that his master had left him. Ever since they met on the Terror Island, the Poison Scorpion had always stayed with him and never left him, no matter how great the danger and opportunity were, they faced them together. He knew that his master was not a good person, but for him, the moment he left the Hell Island, his fate was connected with his, and the Dragon King Scorpion was going to fight for his life!
“Crack, crack, crack!” The Dragon King Scorpion used his final secret move, the Poison Dragon Attack. A huge mixture of poisonous liquid and energy covered his entire body. He rushed towards the Tomb Dog like a dragon’s head. He didn’t even care about his broken leg and rushed out directly to kill the Tomb Dog. He wanted to drag the other party to be buried with him.
Grave Dog was also tense all over. He knew that the enemy opposite him was determined to die. This was the opponent’s last counterattack. Grave Dog used all his strength to use the Coffin Burst, which was comparable to an initial attack of the King of Kings and hit Dragon King Scorpion. This was not something a quasi-King of Kings mid-level Pokémon could contend with. His energy wall was broken, and the excess energy directly hit it.
The Dragon King Scorpion used up his last bit of strength but was still knocked away. All of his pincers were broken and his limbs were gone. He looked at the Tomb Dog opposite him and closed his eyes.
“So your name is Pincer Tail Scorpion, and my name is Ah Heng. From today on, we are a family!” These were the last words that the Dragon King Scorpion thought of before he died.
When Ling Yuan was brought from the seventh floor to the sixth floor by Mimikyu, he could see many Team Rocket members affected by the rubble, as well as the dead King Scorpion. Grave Dog came to Ling Yuan, looked at King Scorpion, and shook his head at Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan knew that this meant that the opponent would fight to the death and could not be captured alive. Grave Dog could feel the deep bond from the emotions revealed by Dragon King Scorpion before its death. He lay beside his master and watched Dragon King Scorpion’s soul leave the Pokémon Tower and go to other places.
With the end of the battle, the Pokémon Tower has returned to peace. Ling Yuan looked at the mess in front of him and didn’t know how to explain it to his uncle and Kikuko. At this time, a voice was heard.
“Koujie, Koujie,” Gengar came with a group of prayer masters, and their Pokémon were beside them.
After Mizuki was rescued, Gengar took him to the sixth floor to rescue the imprisoned prayer masters, and directly used the primary antidote in his stomach to help them get temporary relief. After that, the noise outside became louder and louder, and the ceiling was about to collapse, so he took everyone away quickly and only rushed over when it was just over.
“Koujie, Koujie,” Geng Gui flew to Lingyuan, checked his physical condition, then let out a long sigh and patted his belly.
“Hello, who are you? Are you the one who saved me?” Shuimu, who was barely standing, was helped to Lingyuan.
“I’m a second-level wakekeeper, Ling Yuan. I received news that Team Rocket was in Ziyuan Town. I saw that you didn’t report anything unusual, so I came to check out the situation,” Ling Yuan directly showed his wakekeeper certificate.
“It turns out to be Master Lingyuan. Thank you for saving my life,” Shuimu only then realized that the person in front of him was the previously famous Master of the Dark Gym, and that he was a second-level guardian like himself. It turned out that he was one of his own, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Sorry, I have killed the poisonous scorpion. I just didn’t find the antidote,” Ling Yuan said a little embarrassedly.
“It’s okay, there will always be a way to deal with it when the teacher comes back. Besides, we have a master of potions among the people keeping vigil, so he won’t die for the time being,” Shuimu knew his situation. He had encountered more dangerous situations before, so he was not panicked.
As Lingyuan was communicating with the prayer masters, the Rocket Team downstairs had already started fighting with the trainers at the door. It turned out that after the explosion, many Rocket Team members wanted to go to support, but from the noise it was not their place to intervene, so they began to scramble for Pokémon corpse materials and ran directly downstairs. They happened to meet the Lavender Town trainers who came with flying Pokémon. The two sides made eye contact and started fighting. As the number of people on both sides increased, the scene became very chaotic.
