Dual-career Pokémon trainer

In Vermilion City, on a luxurious ferry, a group of ladies and gentlemen dressed in jewels and precious stones were chatting excitedly.

A noblewoman with her fingers curled up and a pearl necklace on her body was talking about her experience: "Your place is really good. I also had my eyes on a very good house nearby, but I heard that it was haunted.

I had to give up this idea.”

The other intellectual-looking woman put down the book in her hand and raised her glasses: "It's unlikely, I think it's just another rumor.

I know that house, and it has a nice large yard and a nice area. It's obviously a nice place, so it doesn't look like a haunted house at all."

The lady with the necklace also showed a look of fear at this moment.

"I didn't believe it at first. The last time I went in with my husband, the vase fell down automatically as soon as I entered the door.

And I later found out that the house has been on a price drop, so maybe there really is something dirty in it..."

Hearing this, the other party was somewhat disdainful.

"You're just too timid. If you ask me, it's probably some small-looking Pokémon that call that place home, so they just want to scare you away when humans come over.

Why not just find a few trainers to clean it up?"

However, the noble lady seemed to be frightened and waved her hands quickly.

"Don't do that. When I investigated later, I found that the original local manufacturer had the same idea as you. They even asked more than a dozen trainers to go back and forth, but they were all kicked out miserably. I heard that some were even scared to the point of insanity, and some even had bad luck for several days.

There were people tripping while walking, falling into sewers, being hit by flower pots... After that, no one dared to go to that place anymore."

At the end, the lady hugged her arms tightly in fear.

"Luckily, we probably didn't get cursed until we reached the door."

......

At the same time, a verdant courtyard on a low hillside at the edge of Dead Leaf City came into view, and as one moved forward, a brown and white man-made building gradually came into view.

The asymmetrical building and the tall towers that can be seen from the gate are generally in the ancient style of the Kalos region.

This is the haunted house that has been circulating in Vermilion Leaf City since who knows when.

How should I put it? It is completely different from the haunted houses that people have imagined in the past. The courtyard is obviously cleaned all year round, and there is not a single broken window. Although it looks a bit quaint, it has a charm different from that of Dead Leaf City under the sunlight.

At this moment, two young men riding Arcanines had just arrived outside the courtyard.

"It's so big... So Jing-brother, are we here to look for your friend? He must be a very powerful trainer!

What kind of Pokémon is this?

Wow...I’m really looking forward to it!”

...How should I put it...I always feel like this guy has misunderstood something, but that's it.

It’s not fun to say it out loud.

After all, if I remember correctly, this silly boy seemed to be afraid of ghosts. He couldn't just say that this was the haunted house in Vermilion City.

Anyway, this stupid thing can't be scared, and judging by his behavior, he will probably be happy if we find out it's a ghost-type Pokémon.

But before that... Xiaozhi, I will keep the photos of you being scared by ghosts~

Looking at the gate that was so close, Lin Jing's mind was already thinking hard.

"Strange, why does it feel so spooky..."

As soon as he got closer, Xiaozhi rubbed his arms subconsciously.

I looked up and saw that the sun was still bright.

No matter what, Pokémon is more important.

Although he stopped for a moment, Xiaozhi had already reached the door the next moment.

"Brother Jing, please come quickly. I can't wait any longer!"

"Ahem... well... I won't go. The Pokémon inside seem to be quite shy. If there are too many people, they will be too scared to come out.

So you can just go alone.

Windy Dog and I won’t go.”

"Ouch? (Are you sure?)"

As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, the wind speed dog beside him was looking at the house with a strange but serious look.

Although it wasn't very clear, its instinct told it that not only did it look like the Pokémon that Lin Jing had mentioned, but it also felt uncomfortable.

Is it okay to let Xiaozhi go in alone?

You obviously care about him.

In response, Lin Jing just gave Windy Dog a reassuring look.

Gengar stays here just to wait for people. It will not harm humans if it encounters them and will just drive them away at most. However, some will be affected by its cursed body and powerful ghost aura.

But this problem is just a small matter for a super newbie.

As for not letting them follow Xiaozhi, the main reason is that they are worried that Gengar might misunderstand and launch an attack, which would be bad.

As for insurance...

"By the way, Xiaozhi, you didn't forget the energy block, did you?"

"Of course! It's right here."

After digging into his pocket, Xiaozhi took out a box of energy cubes.

Seeing that the other party was fully prepared, Lin Jing nodded slightly.

"Very good, then it's decided to be you!

Go, Xiaozhi! "

"Great!"

Just as Lin Jing said, Xiaozhi, who was only thinking about seeing Pokémon, opened the door and rushed in.

Seeing this, Lin Jing took out the Rotom camera that was lying on the backpack.

"LotoLoto~ (Don't you feel guilty for tricking Xiaozhi into going in alone like this, Loto~)"

Looking at Lin Jing in front of him, Rotom's eyes were filled with confusion.

As a ghost-type Pokémon, it can feel a ghost-type wave that is both strange and familiar to it.

Based on its experience of living in the Forest Mansion for a long time, it knows that there is a very powerful Gengar living there.

It might even be much stronger than their leader, because it could feel a lot of the resentment even outside the door.

Even so, Jing still wants Xiaozhi to go in. Isn't he pushing people into the fire?

He didn't really think that a box of energy cubes could stop the other party, did he?

But it could feel the ominous and resentful atmosphere emanating from the house. That was not the very easy-going Gengar like its former boss.

Could it be that Jing doesn’t know?

"Don't worry, the Gengar in there isn't as bad as you think. Xiaozhi will be fine."

Hearing Rotom's warning, Lin Jing simply responded indifferently.

"That Gengar should have the Cursed Body attribute, and perhaps because it's too powerful, it doesn't have a good grasp of its own attributes, and because it's been waiting here for too long, it has a lot of resentment.

But he is a very good and lovely child, and he will not hurt anyone on his own initiative."

"Loto? (How did Jing know?)"

Rotom was also confused by Lin Jing's explanation.

You haven't even been in, how come you know it so clearly as if you have seen it all.

Before Rotom could get an explanation, it only felt its body being grabbed by a familiar hand.

In front of my eyes, an index finger waved gently.

"If you have time to talk about this, you might as well go in and take the photo. Remember to be sneaky and quiet. With luck, you might not be discovered by it.

It just so happens that you are a little worried about Xiaozhi's safety, so in that case, I'll leave it to you!"

"Loto! (Wait!)" How can I beat that guy inside? At least let Flowery or Sylveon...

"Go away!"

Before Rotom could finish the rest of his words, he felt the camera's body spinning, and the whole ghost became dizzy.

"Luo~~~To~~~~~To~~~~~~~ (You~~~~~~come~~~~~~~~~)"

Looking at Rotom, which disappeared in the darkness after entering the door, Lin Jing clapped his hands and nodded with satisfaction.

"Hehe, don't think I don't know that you also learned bad things from Pokkigu and secretly took photos of me.

You really thought I didn’t know.”

In response, Windspeed, who witnessed everything nearby, just shook his head helplessly.

"Awoo~ (To borrow Jing's words from the past, when will the cycle of revenge end~)"

In response, Lin Jing just glared at him fiercely.

"If that's the case, then don't gnaw on my arm like a sleepwalker at night, and pretend to sleep and press on me. Do you know how heavy you are?"

"Ah....Ahwuahwuahwoofwoof! (I...I didn't. Besides, it's you who always drools on me. Do you know how uncomfortable it is?)

And don’t think I don’t know that every time you were pressed by me, you obviously complained about being heavy, but you still smiled with your mouth wide open!

You obviously like it, but you still say I did it on purpose! )"

"Who... who is grinning! I'm grinning because you're pressing me so hard...

You weren't...

Wait, let's talk, don't bite me!"

"Woo woo! (If you have the guts, let go of the hand that is holding my tail!)"

"Woooa ...

While a man and a dog were quarreling outside the door with red faces, the commotion inside the door seemed to be equally loud.
