Chapter 237: Gengar, the Gate to the Spirit World
This situation was obviously beyond Xiaoguang's understanding. The most urgent thing was not to think too much about why humans could fight against Pokémon. He could only call on Pokémon to defend himself.
"Pogaman!"
"Boga!"
Water energy condensed at the corners of Pogaman's mouth, and foam rays were spit out in an attempt to resist the dark energy tentacles.
But the power of Pogaman alone was obviously not enough. One of the tentacles passed over Pogaman and attacked Xiaoguang behind him.
At this critical moment, the shadow behind Xiaoguang gradually turned into a solid entity, and Gengar's figure appeared instantly. Dark shadows shot out from his eyes, and the purple-black light successfully destroyed the tentacle.
"Geng Gui, are you protecting me?"
Looking at the purple fat man standing in front of him, Xiaoguang said with surprise.
"Jie."
The purple fat man glanced at his face without saying anything, but his body stood steadily in front of Xiaoguang, and from time to time he condensed ghost-type moves to dissolve the attacking tentacles.
On the other side, the ghost girl let out a scream, and energy burst out. Countless black tentacles surrounded the Night Devil. It seemed that she was determined to take down the Night Devil today.
"Give it to the network."
The Night Demon naturally would not sit still and wait for death. Spiral waves of evil emerged from the palm of its hand, repelling this wave of tentacles.
"Use Blade Leaf!"
Just as the ghost girl was about to move, a dark green figure appeared, and with a gust of wind, the remaining tentacles were cut off.
"just!"
"It's the Lizard King."
Looking at the Lizard King in the field, Xiaoguang felt at ease, because the presence of the Lizard King meant something.
"Xiao Guang, you are not hurt, are you?"
The next second, Xiaoyun ran out from the road and looked at Xiaoguang with concern.
"I didn't, it was Gengar who protected me."
Xiaoguang shook his head, pointed at Gengar, and looked at Xiaoyun proudly.
"Boga~"
"Oh, thanks to Pogaman too."
Hearing Pogaman's dissatisfied voice, Xiaoguang added another sentence.
"Really? Thank you very much this time, Gengar."
Xiaoyun looked at the purple fat man in front of him with some surprise, but the other party had no intention of paying attention to him. He just floated silently to the side of Rotom behind Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun didn't say anything about this and turned to look at the ghost girl on the other side.
"But the most urgent thing is to solve the problem at hand. Lizard King, go help the Night Demon and use the energy ball."
"just."
The Lizard King nodded, and the grass energy at the corner of his mouth condensed, and a ball of energy was shot at the ghost girl.
"Night Demon, let's work together to deal with her."
Xiaoyun looked at the Night Demon Spirit, and after the other party agreed, he commanded:
"Lizard King, use sneak attacks to hit vital points."
"Cha." After hearing this, the leaves on the Lizard King's arms turned into black blades of light. He stomped his feet on the ground and flew quickly towards the ghost girl.
"Ah!"
The ghost girl let out an unwilling scream, trying to make a final resistance. The sound was sharp and piercing, making people shudder.
As she screamed, a powerful energy burst out instantly, like a black whirlwind, sweeping everything around it.
Countless pitch-black tentacles stretched out from her body, each one dancing in the air like a ferocious poisonous snake. The eerie aura seemed like the devil's hand from hell, making people shudder.
"just!"
The lizard king in front wielded its sharp double blades, easily cutting off countless black tentacles like a hot knife through butter.
"Give it to Luo!"
At the same time, the Night Demon behind him seized the opportunity, condensed a spiral wave of evil with his palms and quickly pushed it out.
This wave of evil exuded a heart-pounding dark power, and it rushed towards the ghost girl like a black meteor.
The ghost girl let out a shrill scream and her body flew backwards.
"Give it to Luo!"
The Night Demon's single eye turned scarlet, and its aura suddenly exploded. A powerful suction force came from the gate of the spirit world behind it, sucking the ghost girl who was flying backwards into it.
Finally, amid her unwilling roar, the cave entrance gradually disappeared, as if it had never existed.
After the Night Demon nodded to Xiaoyun to thank him, he gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the moonlight shone down, and everything returned to calm. Xiaoguang hugged Xiaoyun's arm and spoke:
"Xiao Yun, what on earth is going on?"
Facing Xiaoguang's question, Xiaoyun thought for a moment and then slowly said: "Well... In this case, if I'm not mistaken, this little girl may not be a human."
"It's a ghost."
Although ghosts are rare in the Pokémon world, they have indeed appeared. For example, a thousand-year-old female ghost appeared in the original version. There are even studies that say that many ghost-type Pokémon are the lingering spirits of dead humans or Pokémon.
The ghost type has always been an unsolved mystery in the Pokémon world.
"What, this little girl is a ghost? But she just talked to me, and I was thinking..."
Xiaoguang was a little scared. If he hadn't seen the terrifying fighting power behind the ghost girl, who would have thought of an unarmed little girl as a ghost?
And she almost played with the ghost, well... that might be the end.
"Yes, I've heard Dr. Yamanashi say something similar. This little girl is probably a ghost that escaped from the spirit world, and the black hole just now should be the gate to the spirit world. A living person may never get out after entering it."
"That night demon should be the gatekeeper of this spiritual world, responsible for guarding the passage to the spiritual world. Its duty is to prevent the ghosts in the spiritual world from escaping, and also to protect people in the human world from accidentally entering it."
On the way back, Xiaoyun told Xiaoguang about the knowledge about the spiritual world.
"Ghost, spirit world."
With Xiaoyun's scientific popularization, Xiaoguang's mind has gained a lot of strange knowledge.
Is this what traveling is all about?
On the way back, the two met Coppin who had obtained the badge. Coppin looked at himself who looked a little embarrassed because of getting the badge, and then looked at the couple who were chatting with their fingers intertwined.
Kaopin lowered his head, the inexplicable resentment in his body could give birth to another ghost.
After returning, Xiaoyun told Dr. Yamanashi what happened that night. Dr. Yamanashi looked serious. While thanking Xiaoyun, he said that he would send someone to check the situation later.
In the end, although Xiaoyun did not get the badge herself, with the efforts of single...capable person Kaoping, Xiaoyun's group still won the group points they deserved.
The time has come to the last day, which is also the last item of the summer vacation lecture.
Triathlon.
"Your route is to start from the camp, pass through the forest and the lake, and finally walk back to the camp. During this process, all students will randomly draw Pokémon from the institute. You must cooperate well with them to complete the assessment together."
"In fact, as long as we perform steadily and get second place, we will win, right?"
Xiaoguang calculated the scores of the blue group he was in.
"That's right, but how can we be second? We must be first."
Xiaoyun said confidently that after a week, the blue group that Xiaoyun was in was leading in points, followed closely by Xiaozhi's red group, and as for Musashi's green group...
As long as people have fun, that's fine.
"Attention, students. The competition is about to begin."
Dr. Yamanashi stood at the starting line and raised his signal gun: "Get ready, everyone."
"Peng!"
Following a gunshot, all the students rushed out quickly.
Xiaoyun and Xiaoguang are in the front, and Xiaozhi, as a newcomer to Pallet Town, is a few steps ahead.
Xiao Wang, Xiao Gang, A Xun, and Kaoping were behind him. The others were fine, but Xiao Yun didn't expect that even Kaoping, who looked to have average physique, could have such speed.
But they are not the first.
The first is Musashi.
After all, he is a ruthless man who can subdue the rice spoon snake with his bare hands. His physical fitness is really not to be underestimated.
"Yeah, I'm the first one. This is my strength."
Musashi rushed to his first destination, the entrance of the forest, as fast as an arrow.
Based on the principle of efficiency first, Musashi couldn't wait to pick up a Poké Ball from the basket and throw it out.
"Come out, my Pokémon!"
The Poké Ball flashed red, and a brown Hippomon appeared, looking at Musashi quietly.
"Hippo...Hippomon?"
"How can I, who is so naturally beautiful, want Hippomon? No, no, I want to change to someone else."
Musashi was stunned. It didn’t matter to her whether she could ride or not. She had good physical strength anyway. Appearance was the most important thing. What the hell was this Hippomon?
So Musashi tried to pick another one from the basket, but was stopped by the invigilator.
The meaning is very clear, whatever you draw is what you get, it’s Hippomon, don’t even think about anything else.
While Musashi was arguing with the examiner, Xiaoyun and the others caught up and each picked out their own Poké Ball from the basket.
"Come out!"
The Poké Ball flashed red.
Mounts: Goat, Duduli, Flame Horse, Onix, Armored Rhino, Ninetails, and Frightened Deer.
Xiaoyun's was the goat that his partner rode a few days ago. Xiaoguang and Xiaozhi both drew the best riding Pokémon, Tootsie and Flamehorn.
The one that Gang is most familiar with is Onix, and the one that little yellow-haired Atun is Rhino, which is also a classic riding Pokémon.
In the end, Xiao Wang and Kaoping drew the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Scarlet-Horned Deer respectively.
"It's you. I'll leave it to you this time." Xiaoyun rode on the goat, touched its back and said.
"Mee." The mount goat responded softly. It also had a good impression of Xiaoyun who drew it.
Everyone mounted their Pokémon and rushed out, jumping over Musashi.
"you!"
"Forget it, Hippomon, let's chase them!"
Seeing that his first place was taken away, Musashi stopped arguing with the examiner and directly rode on Hippomon.
"river!"
Hippomon roared, and his thick lower limbs began to dig holes rapidly, which shocked Musashi.
"Wait, Hippomon, what are you doing?!"
"Dah!"
But Hippomon ignored her and Musashi disappeared while she was calling him.
Forest chase.
Among the crowd, Xiaoguang's Duduli was in the first place, followed by Xiaoyun and others.
Ah Xun, who was riding on the armored rhinoceros, put down the illustrated book in his hand, and the corners of his mouth began to rise unconsciously, and he shouted: "Iron armored rhinoceros, use rock grinding."
"iron!"
After hearing this, the armored rhinoceros' body flashed with white light and its speed increased immediately. It soon surpassed Xiaoyun and chased after Duduli.
"Haha, Xiaoyun, I got the first place this time!"
Seeing Ah Xun passing him, Xiao Yun was a little surprised. He thought that he couldn't use skills while riding. However, this also gave him a lot of room for operation.
After thinking about the moves he had mastered while riding the goat, Xiaoyun patted its back and shouted, "We're going to ride the goat too."
"Use Yan Hui."
"Mee!" After hearing this, the mount goat was wrapped in flying energy. With the force of the impact, its running speed also increased significantly, and it soon caught up with Ajun again.
"Hello!"
Ah Xun was still immersed in surpassing Xiaoyun and couldn't extricate himself. As a result, when he turned around, he saw Xiaoyun greeting him with a smile on her face. He was dumbfounded.
"Hey! Xiaoyun, how come you caught up with me so quickly? You have to pay the fine."
"Why, A-Jun, are you the only one allowed to use the moves? We can do it too."
Xiao Yun didn't care at all when listening to Ah Xun's complaints. He patted the back of his goat and said again:
"Continue to use Yan Fan!"
"Mee." After hearing this, the mount goat burst out with flying energy again, and ran directly over Ajun's armored rhinoceros and Duduli.
"Damn it, Ironclad Rhino, let's continue using rock grinding."
Ah Jun refused to accept and shouted at the armored rhinoceros again.
"Iron." The armored rhinoceros' body flashed white light again, polishing itself, its body became lighter and faster, and it caught up again.
"Wow, Xiaoyun and the others are so awesome. We can't lose to Flame Horse."
As Xiaozhi watched Xiaoyun and Ajun chasing him, his inner passion was ignited and he shouted to the Fiery Horse under his crotch.
"Use Charged Flame Attack."
"Yu?" "Pika!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, one was from Flamebear and the other was from Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.
Although the Flame Horse didn't understand, it still chose to respect the other party. Flames rose on its body, and the blazing flames greatly increased its speed, and it jumped out directly.
"Pikachu!" Feeling the terribly high temperature from Xiaozhi's body, Pikachu was so scared that he jumped from Xiaozhi's shoulder to Xiaozhi's head.
"Hi~"
Even Pikachu is like this, let alone the others. Seeing Xiaozhi wrapped in flames passing by them, Xiaoyun and Ajun immediately gasped.
Xiaozhi is... so cruel.
"Are these people really risking their lives? This is just a competition."
At the end, Kaoping, who was riding on a frightened deer, felt his scalp tingling. What the hell were these people? The Swallow Return and Rock Polishing were exciting enough.
I didn’t expect there are masters out there.
Seeing Xiaozhi's incredible performance, Kaoping hoped that he would not encounter this kind of thing in future competitions. If he lost, he would be unhappy mentally, and if he won, he was afraid that he would be even more unhappy physically.
What if Xiaozhi loses and gets angry and goes into battle himself? How many lives does he have to fight this guy?
With the added bonus of the accelerating effect of Charged Flame, Ash's Pyrotechnics actually arrived faster than Dawn's Tootsie. It's simply outrageous.
Outrageous home!
"So it's the Goldfish King?"
Xiaozhi opened the Poké Ball first, and a well-developed Kingfish appeared in the lake.
The next to arrive were Xiaoguang's Duduli, Xiaoyun's mount goat and Ajun's armored rhinoceros.
Then several people picked Poké Balls from the basket again, and the Poké Balls flashed white light.
Megalodon, snorkeling weasel.
