Pokémon: World of Wonder

"Originally, the Ghost Hunting Team only deals with the evil ghost-type Pokémon in the city community. We spent a lot of effort to invite this Taoist priest to come and subdue the evil Gengar. I hope Mr. Jiang will not have any grudges."

Jiang Ye smiled and said, "Of course not. The Taoist priest is my savior. Without him, how could I stand here intact?"

"Haha, sorry, I was judging you by my own standards."

Zhao Jiang said, then changed the subject, "In that case, let me introduce you to the origin of this Geng Gui."

"I don't know if you have read the manor history boards along the way, but I still want to say a few more words. This manor was not originally owned by our master. It was only later that the manor owner's family fell into poverty, so our master bought the manor and developed it until now."

"According to our investigation, the Gengar is closely related to the previous family of this manor. This wilderness was in the hands of the previous family and was their family's large mansion. At that time, the main family was found by their enemies and they were defeated. All the adults in the family were killed."

"The remaining children were created by their enemies using psychic Pokémon to create illusions, causing them to hang themselves in the family hall. This Gengar can be said to be the collection of resentment of those children."

"When we demolished this area to build a wilderness restaurant, we also invited several famous masters to come and look at the feng shui and ward off evil spirits. For decades, everything was fine until recently when accidents started to happen frequently. We carefully searched the victims' pre-incident videos and only then did we discover this man-eating ghost."

"Later, after we..."

Leaning against their off-road vehicle in the wilderness, by the time Zhao Jiang finished talking about Gengar, Jiang Ye had already prepared all the materials and testimonies, and was listening to Zhao Jiang's story in silence.

As Zhao Jiang spoke, he carefully checked the information Jiang Ye handed over, then smiled and said, "That's it in a nutshell. Thank you again for your cooperation and efforts. This is a small token of our appreciation. Please don't despise it."

Zhao Jiang snapped his fingers, the door of the room opened, and a woman dressed the same as the front desk clerk in the lobby walked in with a tray. Zhao Jiang took the plate and placed it in front of Jiang Ye, introducing them to him one by one.

Zhao Jiang stretched out his hand to a gold-plated paper ticket on the far left of the plate and said, "This is a ticket for a luxury airship tour organized by our master. The destination of the airship this time is Jinhua City. I think Mr. Bi Jiang, as a trainer, will also go there."

Jiang Ye nodded. He was indeed going to make a trip to see if he could get the gym badge of Jinhua City Gym. As for how Zhao Jiang knew whether he had been to Jinhua City, the Internet was a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages.

"This voucher can be exchanged for a box of 20-year-old fruit wine brewed in our manor from the receptionist at the entrance of the manor. There are eight bottles in a box. Fruit wine of this vintage is not currently sold on the market. I hope you like it."

"It's really good. I like it very much."

With a ticket price of over a thousand yuan, such a reward was far beyond Jiang Ye's expectations.

"The next voucher was also exchanged with the receptionist at the entrance of the manor. It was a complete collection of manor-style dishes and a full set of seasonings and spices for one year."

Well, now I don’t have to buy seasonings and carry them with me when I go out.

"Finally, that's the extra compensation we give."

Zhao Jiang stretched out his hand and spread out the two thin books on the far right side of the plate. "One of them is a human martial arts book called Yu Lu Dian. We found it a long time ago when we demolished the manor buildings. Mr. Jiang has a noble character, so we thought of compensating him. It won't be a waste of precious treasures."

"As for the other one, it is a fire-type move that is not available on the market. It is called Internal Combustion Engine. As for the specific content and effects of the move, I do not have the permission to read it. Mr. Jiang can only find out on his own."

Jiang Ye reached out and picked up the food on the plate, and then it disappeared from his hand. "They are all very good things. Thank you very much for the generous gift, Manager Zhao."

Zhao Jiang sorted out the materials Jiang Ye handed to him and said, "Mr. Jiang, there are still some follow-up matters that need to be dealt with downstairs, so I won't keep you company any longer. Here is a visitor permission card. With him, you can tour the manor as much as you want, except for the private areas, of course."

"If you like it here, we also provide free accommodation and meals for visitors at night. I will leave first. I wish you a good night."

Zhao Jiang took the information and left first. Jiang Ye was led by a waitress who was delivering things and walked through the internal staff area back to the previous recording hall.

Wearing the visitor badge given by Zhao Jiang, Jiang Ye walked out of the collection hall. The receptionist who happened to be at the door seeing off a group of guests saw Jiang Ye and hesitated for a moment, but still took two steps forward and said with a smile, "My most valuable guest, if you have a visitor badge, you can take your Pokémon with you to tour the area at will. Of course, please do not release large Pokémon to avoid unnecessary damage."

Jiang Ye smiled back and said, "Thanks for the reminder."

"It is our honor to provide guests with as much convenience as possible. I am busy with trivial matters, so I will not bother you any more. If you need anything, you can always ask any staff in the manor. I wish you a pleasant sightseeing."

So Jiang Ye, holding a yellow dog on his left hand, a bat on his head, a fire centipede hanging around his neck, and a big-clawed groundhog following him, visited the manor as the night gradually darkened.

In fact, Jiang Ye himself had no interest in visiting the so-called manor. He just wanted to give Zhao Jiang some face so as not to embarrass everyone by directly refusing. By the way, he thought that these guys had almost finished eating, so he might as well take them out for a walk.

He looked around until only a trace of dusk remained on the horizon. In an empty Pokémon-style green garden, Jiang Ye sat on a white bench, next to which was a street lamp that was emitting white light.

Xiaoyue was let out by Jiang Ye to stay aside. The other five little guys were playing hide-and-seek in the garden. Jiang Ye himself took out the thin book on human martial arts and started flipping through it.

Even with these few dozen thin pages, Jiang Ye was astonished. This book did not have any fixed moves or routines, but rather a series of force-generating techniques and methods of using force. Only the last page divided those who practiced this martial arts into three levels.

Based on the individual's maximum displacement distance, the first level is between 1 and 2 times, which is called Qianjin Hongyu. It is used to describe people at this level who use Qinggong in a grand and eye-catching manner.

Between 2 and 3 times is the next level, called torrential rain. Although the sound is not as loud as that of the people in the previous level, it will immediately expose their whereabouts when performing some covert actions.

When it can reach 4 times the distance, it enters the last level, "Dew from Heaven Hanging on Reeds". People who have reached this level have been able to stick to it without releasing it. The whole person moves silently, and with one move, the distance can be as great as water from the sky falling onto the reeds by the river.

The reason why it is called human martial arts is because the force-generating techniques and methods of using force are summarized for humans. Pokémon, which have significant physical differences from humans, cannot normally learn it.

The Huangyan region has been at war for years, with people fighting against Pokémon, against the sky and the earth, and against themselves. There are countless strange things, and human martial arts are just a product that began to flourish during the internal fighting of humans.

Compared to Pokémon, humans are still too weak. It is only by relying on their amazing wisdom and fearless courage that they have been able to gain a foothold in the land of Huangyan.

Since Jiang Ye came to this world, he had only seen mythical beasts on TV. He had only heard about their destructive power in TV news reports. What impressed him most was that a military-industrial enterprise completely blew up a small uninhabited island in order to test the power of its weapons.

Then a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea, the ocean current was disrupted, and the ocean god who was pulling the ocean current on the seabed appeared. In anger, it overturned the entire fleet that was watching at the scene with one blow. The reporter said that there were only a hundred casualties.

Jiang Ye didn't believe it anyway.
