Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 12: Puppet Theater
Gastly, Haunter, Puffball, and Incubus.

A bunch of ghost-type Pokémon looked at Teng Shu and the old butler with a wary look. There was a hint of hesitation and reluctance in their eyes.

Except for a few wild Pokémon like Slowpoke and Psyduck, most Pokémon actually have a relatively high IQ. They naturally know that they are occupying human houses. If humans did not come, they could continue to live happily here, but when humans come, they have no choice but to leave this home.

Teng Shu scratched his head. Among these ghost-type Pokémon, only Gastly and Haunter made Teng Shu want to capture them. However, he gave up the idea soon after because he felt that there were no Pokémon here that particularly caught his eye.

Anyway, there is no need to rush to capture Pokémon.

"Oh?" Teng Shu was about to go in when he saw a lamp on the ceiling. The lamp looked ordinary, but Teng Shu noticed something was wrong. The house was without electricity and water, so how could there still be electricity? So how did the lamp light up?

Crystal lamp spirit.

Teng Shu recognized the identity of this Pokémon, but it surprised him a little. After all, ghost Pokémon like Crystal Lampshade are not very common in the Hoenn region. The evolution requirements of this Pokémon are relatively special, so few can evolve into Crystal Lampshade naturally.

"Master Teng Shu, do we need to clear the place?" The old butler didn't care about the Pokémon inside. Although there were a lot of them, there were only a few moves that could be used. Besides, they were the owners of this mansion now, so they naturally had the power to clear out the uninvited guests in these rooms.

In fact, even if they don’t take action, the alliance will help clean up, otherwise these old houses will not be sold.

"No need." Teng Shu shook his head. He had an idea.

The Chenghua Forest is actually not a particularly suitable place for living. There are many mosquitoes, and it is a bit far from the city, which is very inconvenient for Teng Shu, but this mansion may have some other uses.

In the past, some popular blockbusters would often attract countless people to take photos and check in, just like the place where the clown danced in "Joker", which attracted many people to take photos and even dance together at the time. Even though the popularity has passed, that place still has a certain fame.

Teng Shu is very confident in his movie, although this confidence is given to him by the poor horror film market in the Pokémon world.

But there is no doubt that his film is destined to become a landmark work in the Pokémon world.

The broadcast of Dead Silence will surely attract the attention of horror movie fans. As Mary Shaw's theater and the most expensive filming location in the entire movie, this mansion will surely be popular. By then, we only need to open the mansion as a tourist attraction to realize profitability, and at the same time solve the problem of these ghost Pokémon.

After all, to shoot Mary Shaw's Puppet Theater, these puppets need to move together. Although it is not difficult to set up such a mechanism, Teng Shu still hopes to give these puppets more space.

Space for free play.

A puppet that turns its head due to mechanical equipment is different from a puppet that has its own consciousness to scare people. There are quite a few of these ghost Pokémon, which can be used to control the puppets to achieve the effect he wants.

Moreover, with these ghost-type Pokémon in the future, this puppet theater can also operate healthily. Tourists pay money, the ghost Pokémon get a place to live, and they can also taste the tourists' fear. It's simply a win-win situation.

The steady stream of tourists can also expand the film's reputation. After all, even if they have not seen Dead Silence, once they visit the Muppet Theater, they will definitely be curious about what movie it was filmed at, thus providing new viewership for Dead Silence.

"Master Teng Shu, your idea is really out of this world." The old housekeeper looked at Teng Shu with some surprise. Should we say that the young master is worthy of being the blood of the Zfuchi family? He is so business-minded at such a young age. Teng Shu smiled, then touched the little Q in his arms, and appeased the little Q's desire to fight.

"Are you willing to cooperate with me?" Teng Shu smiled and threw out his bait. When he expressed his thoughts just now, he did not speak in a low voice, but spoke very normally.

Among these little guys, there must be a Pokémon that can understand.

Soon, a dream demon flew out. It looked at Teng Shu curiously, and then its eyes fell on little Q in Teng Shu's arms.

Teng Shu was a little surprised. Dream monsters are common, but wild dream monsters also need special props to evolve. Is this a coincidence or is there another reason?
Teng Shu didn't understand the chattering Pokémon language, but after the Dream Demon used dust to form a piece of paper and a pen in front of him, Teng Shu understood.

These little guys want to sign a contract.

"That's no problem, but I'll need you to cooperate with my filming and not make any trouble." Teng Shu nodded. It was just a contract. He wouldn't turn his back on someone or make a yin-yang contract. He really thought so.

Although this mansion is nice, Teng Shu doesn't want to live here. He would probably be visited by Gengar every day to play rock-paper-scissors with him. This overlord Pokémon is very obsessed with the game.

The Dream Demon nodded. As the boss here, it was still able to control these guys.

With the help of the old butler, the contract was quickly drafted and then delivered by a special person. Teng Shu also signed his name, and Meng Yaomo looked at the contract carefully. Teng Shu looked at him with some curiosity.

He was very curious whether Pokémon could understand human contracts. You know, a contract is not something you can sign casually. If you don't read it carefully, it's easy to fall into a trap and be unable to climb out.

Any document written in black and white that needs to be signed must be handled with great caution. This is the experience of Teng Shu, a veteran social animal in his previous life.

The dream demon raised his head, and Teng Shu saw a hint of hesitation in his eyes. It seemed that he really couldn't understand.

Teng Shu was not in a hurry either. He thought it was about time.

"Does this place require notarization?" Just at this moment, a girl knocked on the door.

Teng Shu looked back and saw that the other person was wearing the alliance's work clothes and smiling sweetly.

"Master Teng Shu, this person is in charge of notarizing Pokémon employment contracts in the alliance." The old butler said softly. He had made very good arrangements.

Teng Shu nodded. With the notary public, the signed contract would be valid.
