There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

After only a moment's hesitation, the old Ghost, who had lived for who knows how long, secretly made up his mind and stepped onto the gambling table.

The remaining chips in its hand are extremely valuable to the ghost-type Pokémon in Lavender Town, and may even determine their future life or death.

But the citizens of Ziyuan Town, whom they originally relied on, have betrayed their previous oaths, and they must find another way out.

The concept of time was still vague in this strange and stagnant area, but Evely still felt it was long.

Gastly, in particular, frowned tightly, and from time to time he glanced at the young man who was buried in the shadows and whose life or death was uncertain.

【Evely.】

Gastly spoke suddenly, and the light blue ball shook visibly, and quickly moved in front of Gastly to indicate that it was listening.

[Even if I want to help you, ghost-type Pokémon are fundamentally different from you humans in structure, whether it's the spirit or the body.]

Gastly's voice was very soft, like a feather rubbing against Evely's blurred consciousness, as if bewitching something.

So...what do you need from me?

[His soul was temporarily obscured by the remnants of the ancient Pokémon, and he could not control his body.] Gastly spoke, like the devil that bewitched people in the Western stories, [There is a Pokémon called Haunter in the ghost Pokémon family, which can temporarily extract the soul hidden in the human body through the special power of its hands.]

The light blue ball jumped slightly. Now her brain was unable to process such extremely complex information.

[After the soul of this child is taken out, the body left here can temporarily accommodate some strange spirits, and use this empty shell to perform some simple actions. ] Gastly's mouth was wide open, his sharp teeth were exposed, and his eyes were full of calculations.

[I will then be here to look after this child's fragile soul after it leaves his body, and the task of destroying the last statue will be...]

Shuoya Ye suddenly opened his eyes in a state of nothingness and chaos.

He was breathing rapidly, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, and his head was splitting with pain.

His vision was blurred and the ringing in his ears made him close his eyes and raise his hands to protect his ears. He curled up into a ball and huddled to the side in a subconscious protective posture.

Da da--

The crisp sound of water drops falling into a pool rang in his ears rhythmically. Shuo Guye could not hide the burning restlessness in his heart and looked up angrily.

His willow-shaped eyes were filled with suppressed rage, with a fierce light flashing in them. They were filled with overwhelming anger and hatred, making him look particularly eerie and terrifying, and creepy.

If Fujino Sakura were here, she would probably not be able to connect this person who looked like an evil ghost who was wrongly killed in the cold winter with the always gentle and amiable Sakutani Ye.

But his bloodthirsty and terrifying look did not last long.

It could almost be said that the next moment after he cast his gaze, his vicious eyes suddenly froze, the murderous light in his eyes dissipated, and was filled with surprise.

The rhythmic "tapping" sound was actually the sound of a person walking in the dark shadow that was almost turning into a puddle!

Just like a robot, the distance of each step was calculated with incredible precision, and the timing of landing and lifting was exact.

Looking upwards along the shadow that was splashing like water.

Long straight legs, slender and flexible waist, broad and well-proportioned shoulders...

Until the iconic silver-gray long hair scattered on the shoulders and the handsome face.

The one walking in the shadows was actually Shuoya Ye himself!

However, if you look closely, you can find that the "Shuogu Ye" walking in the shadows has a dull face, without any spirit or beauty.

The eyes that were usually gentle and smiling were lifeless. Rather than being a "human", they looked more like a controlled doll that could only move forward stiffly.

After walking for about ten minutes, "Shuogu Ye" finally stopped.

Sakutani Ye's sight was able to follow the figure of "Sakutani Ye" all the time, without any blurring or shrinking as the distance increased.

I saw that "Shuogu Ye" standing motionless in front of the oversized dark purple statue, with empty eyes, looking at something unknown.

Compared to the remnants left behind by the super ancient Pokémon, Sakuya Ye is as inconspicuous as a tiny ant in front of this sculpture.

Perhaps even these shadows who had long lost their self-awareness and acted only on instinct had never thought that the seemingly insignificant action of the young man in front of them could actually destroy three huge statues that embodied the power of ancient Pokémon.

But at this moment, all of the boy's Pokémon had used up their energy in destroying the first three statues. With his flesh and blood body, he had no way to deal with this last statue.

There seemed to be some guiding voice next to Shuoya Ye's ear. After thinking for a few seconds, Shuoya Ye slowly raised his right arm, and the stiff bones made a terrifying "click" sound.

The green fingers sank into the collar, and the immobile fingertips tried many times before grasping the round object, and then nodded to take it off his neck.

Under the stunned gaze of the real owner of this body, "Shuogu Ye" raised the pendant that Lingyou believed to be a talisman and gently placed it on a corner of the statue that was as big as a mountain or sea.

The next moment, the entire statue dissolved instantly as if it had been touched by water, and gathered into a large gel-like shadow, emitting bursts of wailing.

"it's over."

The larynx of "Shuo Gu Ye" moved slightly, and an unfamiliar tone came out of his mouth, but it seemed particularly stagnant and vague.

"I won't... forget you again..."

"Carel...my love."

"Recently, a small earthquake occurred in a famous town in the Kanto region. So far, only one person was injured and no one has died."

On the TV at Xiaoying's home in Jinhuang City, a neatly dressed host with slicked back hair was reading the latest manuscript in a clear and loud voice.

"The magnitude of this earthquake is unknown, and there was no instrument that could predict its occurrence before it occurred. In addition, the scope of damage caused by this earthquake was extremely small, and even Golden City, which is only separated by a forest, did not feel any tremors. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that it was caused by the skills of Pokémon. Please do not worry."

"Post-disaster reconstruction work is underway. The injured patients have been sent to the hospital for treatment and their vital signs are currently good."

"Well, a town very close to Jinhuang City..." Mrs. Fujino leaned back and lay on the soft sofa, "Is it Ziyuan Town? That's indeed quite close."

"Fortunately, our Xiaomu followed her father to Pallet Town to find Professor Oak to get the Pokémon Pokémon required for novice trainers, so we avoided this incident."

Mrs. Chiba looked at the tragic scene of building ruins on TV, especially a building located in the mountains that could be called a historical site, and couldn't help shaking her head.

"What a pity. This tower has hundreds of years of history."

Mrs. Fujino nodded, and just as she was about to say something, the next piece of news came out of the host's mouth, attracting their attention.

"A tsunami hit the Erhai Lake near the city of Lanpruzi early this morning, and many coastal cities were submerged. According to the investigators of the Pokémon League who went to investigate on the spot, the disaster was caused by a dispute between several Pokémon species on a private island. A variety of extremely destructive skills gathered into a ball of detonated energy, causing the entire island to be destroyed and sunk, causing a tsunami."

Mrs. Chiba frowned and sounded doubtful.

"A dispute among Pokémon species? Can the consequences of a mere clash of skills be so serious?"

Since she was not a trainer, she didn't know much about Pokémon. She supported her daughter to become a trainer because Mr. Chiba was also a trainer. She didn't think Pokémon could be so destructive, so she was relieved to let her daughter go on the journey alone.

But this piece of news completely shattered her innocence.

Even an island can be destroyed easily. Can Xiaomu really control the power of Pokémon?

"It's the first time I've heard of this, too." Mrs. Fujino clasped her hands together compassionately and nodded in silence. "The tsunami in the early morning... there will be many innocent people drowned in the sea water while they are sleeping."

Mrs. Chiba drooped her eyelids and fell silent.

Yes, a tsunami occurred in the early morning without any warning signs. How many people would die?

"However, according to police statistics, the tsunami did not cause any casualties, which is a blessing in disguise."

The host read the script but raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

No casualties?

No matter how many times he read it, he would find it ridiculous. Even in Ziyuan Town, there was an injured person who was unconscious due to the earthquake, but no one was injured in the tsunami?

However, the host's professionalism was still extremely high. After a brief change of expression, he smiled again without changing his expression, and continued reading without even changing his tone.

"In the mountains a few kilometers away from the tsunami site, we found many people in pajamas who had just woken up from their dreams. They were residents of coastal cities."

"The specific situation will be reported after our reporters contact the relevant personnel. Please stay tuned for any new developments. We will report them as soon as possible."
