"No, their existence can only make the people of Huangtie Town slightly ill at best. And they want to enter the spirit world, which is where the soul truly belongs."
Kashiwagi briefly explained the relationship between the spiritual world and the soul.
He asked with some doubt: "You don't know anything about this? There are many ghost-type Pokémon in Pyrite Town, right? Even if you don't know, you must be..."
"I do not know."
n appeared in a dim street corner, his face half unlit by the streetlight, and it was hard to tell. He said, "I've never heard those ghost-attribute Pokémon talk about this. Are you sure?"
Kashiwagi turned to look at him and replied, "I trust my Pokémon."
"Okay, I'll go ask them."
n nodded, turned and left.
Shan Min, who was completely sober, looked at his back and whispered, "He lied."
"He may know part of it, such as the fact that there are many souls wandering in Huangtie Town." Kashiwagi shook his head.
n was not a man who would lie, so he hid half of his face in the darkness so that the two could not see his expression.
In fact, with Kashiwagi's eyesight, he could easily see the struggle on his face.
Chapter 690 Potential Conflict
A cool breeze is blowing.
The industrial area far away was still brightly lit.
Shan Min sighed: "Oh, how can I sleep now?"
Ghosts are different from ghost-attribute Pokémon. Even in the remote Ouray region, ghosts still leave behind various terrifying legends.
Children are afraid of being captured by ghosts, while adults hope that ghosts will take revenge on those who oppress them.
In the past, Shan Minoru had imagined that the dead turned into evil spirits to avenge the scum of the Shadow Team, but as he traveled to various regions to study abroad, he absorbed a lot of knowledge from the outside world.
He realized a truth -
【Heaven helps those who help themselves】
Instead of seeking something illusory, it would be better for him to set an example and contribute his efforts, and then use the changed Olei to realize his ambitions.
However, the above does not mean that Shan Min is indifferent to real souls.
He was not afraid because he behaved properly, but when he thought about the invisible and intangible souls everywhere he lived, they might even stare at him while he was sleeping.
How can you sleep like this?
Being selfless does not mean giving up personal privacy.
Kashiwagi shrugged and said, "There's nothing we can do. Didn't you bury the underground city? We can only wait until tomorrow morning to dig it up and take a look."
"What about tonight?"
"Just find a ghost-type Pokémon to help you look around, and chase it away if you find anything. You should be able to get through the night."
"Okay, lend me your Dolonbaruto."
“…This may not work.”
"Where can I find ghost-type Pokémon so late at night! Do you think this is Hoenn?" Shan Minoru lowered his voice with a hint of annoyance.
If he had a choice, he would rather know about it tomorrow.
Just now, Kashiwagi was confidently saying that he would curse people if he talked about it tomorrow, but he wants to curse people now!
"It's the only ghost Pokémon in my team that I can lend you - never mind, why don't you stay at my house tonight? The guest room is empty anyway since Takeru isn't here."
Kashiwagi suggested.
As early as on the Fury, Cheng Hong told him that Awu had returned to the group. This dragon tamer who helped the rescue organization a lot had been planting trees for half a year. After learning that Awu was famous in Hoenn, he immediately decided to return to the group to practice.
It is obvious that Awu is serious about competing for the championship.
Shan Min was so sleepy that he hesitated for a few seconds before nodding and agreeing.
Return to the villa.
Shan Min yawned and walked straight to the guest room.
Kashiwagi, who released Boskodora and other Pokémon, asked hurriedly, "Where are your Pokémon?"
"I asked N to take care of it for me."
Shan Min responded casually and closed the door with a click.
I actually put the Pokémon next to N...
Although Kashiwagi can understand that Shan Minoru is busy with government affairs and has no time to take care of his Pokémon, wouldn’t the Pokémon be sad if they can’t see their trainer for a long time?
At least keep one around, right?
As he was feeling regretful, the roar of the three-headed evil dragon rang in his ears.
"Ouch!"
"what happened?"
Following the three-headed dragon's line of sight, he saw two half-human Pokémon, one tall and one short, standing outside the open door.
The tall one looks like a hunchbacked old man who turned from a fox, and the short one looks like a cartoon doll with cat elements.
"Di."
"Meow~"
Alakazam and Meowth bowed to him very politely, walked calmly towards the guest room, opened the door gently and closed it again.
Kashiwagi smiled silently and reached out to stroke the big head of the three-headed evil dragon.
Yes.
Just because the trainer doesn't have the time doesn't mean the Pokémon won't find their own opportunities, whether it's following him during the day or staring at his sleeping face at night.
As long as the bond between humans and Pokémon remains unchanged, they will be inseparable.
"nIt's probably going to be tomorrow, so let's go to bed."
Kashiwagi said to the Pokémon waiting for him around him.
In the yard, Steelix blew out two streams of white air from its nose with regret. It had originally wanted to persuade the trainer to go camping in the mountains, but it didn't find any opportunity after waiting for a whole day.
Infuriating snake!
Steelix slowly closed his eyes and vowed to find an opportunity to persuade the trainer to go over tomorrow.
Silent all night.
The next day.
Kashiwagi woke up naturally and just made breakfast. Before he could wake up Shan Minoru, N, who had left last night and never came back, rang the doorbell.
"Good morning."
n's emerald eyes were as dim as ever, but the smile on his face made people feel very warm.
"Good morning!"
Kashiwagi welcomed him in warmly.
Surprisingly.
Shan Min, who had locked the door before, now appeared at the dining table and enjoyed his breakfast. Alakazam and Meowth were also given special food by the gentle and virtuous Happiny.
"Good morning, both of you!"
Shan Min raised his hand gracefully.
Baimu said disdainfully: "You are not polite at all. You come to the table without even asking."
"Dreams, Pokémon and food are the only things in this world that you should not let down. Besides, if N hadn't come, there would have been only two humans in this room, unless you eat one and watch the other." Shan Min argued.
The familiar communication between the two made n feel as if he had returned to half a year ago.
During the period when Huangtie Town was just liberated, they sat together for meals like this countless times, chatting or discussing serious matters.
Only at this moment.
Only then did he realize that he was still very young, just like the two people in front of him.
"…I'm sorry that I didn't tell the truth last night."
he said suddenly.
Kashiwagi and Yamaminoru stopped their meaningless chat and looked over at the same time.
n whispered, "I actually knew that Yellow Iron Town was full of lost souls the first day I came here."
Shan Min was extremely surprised, and then he said angrily: "The first day! Why didn't you tell me? Well, it was meaningless to say this at that time, but why didn't you tell me in the past six months?"
Kashiwagi snapped his fingers twice to attract his attention. "It's pointless to tell me. This kind of thing can't be solved by ordinary people. What's the point of knowing it? The entrance to the spirit world is not a real 'door'."
"Even if you say that..." Shan Minoru still couldn't suppress his anger.
Although Kashiwagi said that lost souls cannot interfere with the living, what if?
Speak seriously.
If Shan Min had known this earlier, he might have considered moving Huangtie Town to another place.
n shook his head at Kashiwagi, "Don't make excuses for me. I didn't know that the entrance to the spirit world was blocked, but I didn't say anything about the soul. I guess I didn't say anything on purpose."
"Should, intentionally." Shan Min repeated these two words, his eyes turning from anger to disappointment.
As if he couldn't see it, he said slowly, "First, I really don't have a way to deal with lost souls. The ghost Pokémon I know don't even dare to go near the underground. Second, there are too many sinful souls in Yellow Iron Town. Getting lost is their fate."
"Many of those who died in this land were innocent! How many of them have access to Pokémon!?"
Shan Min slammed the table and shouted loudly.
The loud bang made all the Pokémon nearby look up.
n looked at him seriously, "So I just let them get lost and put my energy into more important things. They can't affect the world of the living. The sudden drop in accidental death rates and disease cases in Huangtie Town in the past six months is proof of this."
"Is this your excuse?" Shan Min said coldly.
