"...Ghost?!"

Gastly was shocked when it saw the notification message that popped up on Jinghe's phone.

How did you do it?
Jing He's lips twitched. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, glancing forlornly at the passing crowd.

"Something was sold."

A cigarette would be a perfect complement to this moment.

"Ugh!! Σ(дlll)"

Could it be.
Jing He suddenly raised his hand, remembering that Gastly was a gaseous Pokémon. If he hit him on the head, he might have to eat a "Peach Berry" again.

After calming himself down, he said irritably:

"What's going on in that little head of yours? Wait! No, how could you possibly be thinking about that?"

"Hehehe~~" Gastly chuckled, its eyes darting left and right.

That, on your previous phone
"Let's go, let's go buy a move learning device."

Jinghe decisively interrupted it, turned around with a dark face and walked back towards Kanaz Department Store.

Gastly's eyes gleamed slightly as it watched Jinghe's retreating figure.

It felt like it had discovered a key point!

A few minutes later.

With a pained expression, Jinghe and Guisi walked out of the department store carrying a box of CDs, accompanied by the saleswoman's even more enthusiastic smile.

"What a rip-off! A 'move learning machine' that's already causing so many problems is actually priced so high!"

Looking at the [Available Balance: 20000 Alliance Coins] displayed on his phone, the pain in his eyes deepened.

"Kouhee, kouhee!"

Gastly agreed wholeheartedly, nodding repeatedly.

That's right! So much money could buy so many energy cubes and so many Moo Moo milk!

more importantly.

This "move learning machine" isn't like the ones in games where Pokémon can learn moves instantly by using it. Instead, you have to go back and watch videos and follow the tutorials to learn.

However, it also contains many tips and tricks accumulated by trainers, as well as how to improve proficiency after learning a move, how to better master it, and how to apply it in actual combat.

There are even many videos of actual combat drills for reference.

"Oh well, I'll have to buy it sooner or later anyway, so I might as well buy it sooner and learn it sooner."

Jinghe had to console herself with this thought.

It's better than Gastly suddenly learning "poison" and then using itself as a test subject, right?

It might just die at any time under Gastly's "experiment".

"Cuckoo-"

Gastly's stomach growled.

It stared longingly at Jinghe, exhausted from hypnotizing those ferocious Pokémon today, plus the afternoon training.

hungry.

They're all getting thinner.

Hurry home and cook.

"Go home, go home."

Jinghe waved her hand, no longer dwelling on it.

The original purpose of making money was for Gastly, and now this is just fulfilling a promise.

Night gradually fell.

Jinghe, with Gastly floating behind her, passed through a series of narrow alleyways.

It's just that there weren't many people around; otherwise, seeing this scene late at night would probably have frightened quite a few people.

Especially since Gastly's eyes were bloodshot, and the area around its already dark eyes seemed to have sunken in, making it even darker. This extremely hungry appearance would definitely scare a soul.

rustling-

As they walked briskly past the community's garbage station, Jinghe and Guisi both heard a sound.

Because this is an old residential area with many alleys and few main roads, the garbage at the community's garbage station is only collected every few days, and it has already piled up like a mountain.

It's autumn now, otherwise the smell in summer wouldn't be much different from hugging a Mud monster.

So Jinghe rarely takes this route, or rather, most people don't take this route except when they're taking out the trash.

Today, Gastly was so hungry that it had to take a shortcut and ended up passing by the garbage dump.

Under the hazy moonlight.

Something seemed to be wriggling in the messy, piled-up garbage dump.

"Kou Jie!"

Live on!

Gastly called out in a low voice.

However, because it was a quiet night, and the surrounding area was full of walls and alleys, it was still noticeable even though it was speaking in a low voice.

The wriggling motion also stopped.

"It's probably because there's too much garbage piled up, which has attracted stinky mud and stinky sludge. I should make a call to complain tomorrow."

Jing He didn't linger; instead, he quickened his pace again.

back home.

After enjoying a five-person dinner prepared by Jinghe, Gastly, burping contentedly, lay lazily on the sofa, watching videos from its newly purchased "Move Learning Machine".

As it watched, its expression gradually became serious, and it would nod from time to time, and occasionally seem to realize something.

Jinghe took off her apron and went to the balcony alone.

Looking at the contacts on my phone, I rubbed the phone case.

A cool breeze blew out, gently ruffling his black hair, and a resolute look flashed across his handsome face. What was bound to happen would eventually happen.

He opened the "Ibrahimovic Eats Cabbage" homepage and pressed the "voice call" button.

This is what he told Gastly earlier, the thing he was selling out.

Of course, the 50,000 Alliance Coins were actually the cost of the previous treatments and consultations.

However, the other party once again requested to conduct psychological intervention in person.

But Jing He resolutely refused.

After some back and forth, the approach was changed to a phone consultation and treatment.

This is within his acceptable range.

He was prepared to keep smiling even if a rough and powerful voice came from the other end.

Adhering to the principles of prioritizing money, cough, and patients.

The call was connected shortly afterward.

"Hello."

Jing He was taken aback upon hearing this.

It was a girl!

Moreover, although his voice was a little deep, it was surprisingly pleasant to listen to, especially the hint of languor that came with fatigue.

"Ahem." Jing He coughed lightly, quickly regaining her composure. "Hello, I am 'Jing Zhong Zhi He'."

For some reason, Jing He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone, regardless of who they are, would at least hope that the patient is an easy person to talk to, right?
"How much does psychological counseling usually cost? I don't really know."

'I don't really understand either.'

Jing He wasn't sure either, so she tentatively said:

"You'll be charged by the hour, right?"

"How much is that?"

For a moment, Jing He, who was holding a phone, and Xiluo Na, who was also holding a phone, had the same look in their eyes.

at a loss.

"Hmm, I don't know much about Uglyfish yet. How about... one thousand?"

They had already given her enough. Even if she was a "cash cow," Jing He didn't dare to go too far, after all, she had to have a conscience.

"Isn't it too cheap?"

Cheap?

Before he could speak, Cynthia said, "How about two thousand?"

Jinghe thought to herself, "Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots."

[Your account has received 12000 Alliance Coins. Available balance: 32000 Alliance Coins.]

Ok?
"I've moved over. Let me schedule an hour first, and we can continue later if that's not enough."

Jing He: "???"

So, does "two thousand" mean two thousand every ten minutes?

hiss--

Let's put our conscience aside for now.

"Okay, tell me about the Ugly Fish first."

Now, let's get back to the main topic.

"That's right. During this period, Ugly Fish's daytime condition has improved a lot, and it's become much more lively, but it has been having dreams at night."

Cynthia then recounted the current situation of Feebas.

"A dream? What kind of dream?"

"What exactly it is, Feebas can't quite put it into words. It seems it always dreams of a Pokémon, a...strange Pokémon."

Dreaming of strange Pokémon?
Jinghe turned to look at Gastly on the sofa, who was holding a learning machine with a serious expression.

After thinking for a moment, I said, "How about this, you put your phone closer to Ugly Fish, and we'll try a simple hypnosis session first. I'll try to relax its mind to determine whether it's an internal or external factor."

"it is good."

After a series of rustling movements and hurried footsteps, the faint sounds of rustling leaves and babbling water from the pond could be heard through the phone.

"All right."

"Okay, you can have Ugly Fish cooperate with me, or have her cooperate with you. She should trust you the most. You can follow along with me. Let's start with deep breathing, slow down the rhythm, inhale and exhale slowly."

Jinghe's voice grew softer and softer, her speech slower and slower, as she gradually painted a beautiful picture of Pokémon.

About twenty minutes later.

"Is the ugly fish asleep?"

Hello, are you still there?

"Hey?"

"You're not asleep, are you?"

"Hey?"

"."

All that could be heard on the phone was the sound of steady breathing.

Should I hang up?
Two thousand for ten minutes.
More than half an hour later.

Jinghe yawned and returned to bed. She gently wrapped the sleeping, drooling Ghost in a blanket and placed it on the other side of the bed.

"Good night."
