Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 43 Fear Comes from the Unknown

"Overlord?" Teng Shu couldn't help but ask as he looked at the little Gengar on his shoulder.

He knew about the Overlords. The Alliance had done some research on Overlord Pokémon, but generally speaking, the specific causes of Overlord Pokémon were still a mystery and had not yet been fully deciphered.

There are quite a few Pokémon doctors in the league who are currently researching dominant Pokémon.

"Well, this little girl is just like me. She has an aura that can make people feel scared. But she still needs to practice. Being qualified and being able to become a dominant Pokémon are different." Gengar said proudly. He also went through a lot of hardships to become the dominant Pokémon that dominates an area.

"I see. It's like having Conqueror's Haki doesn't mean you can become a king, it just means you have the qualifications to be a king." Teng Shu understood. Isn't this almost the same setting as Conqueror's Haki?

"Although I don't quite understand what you are saying, it's okay as long as you understand it." Gengar looked at Teng Shu strangely. He didn't understand what Conqueror's Haki was, but looking at Teng Shu's expression, he seemed to understand it.

Just understand it.

"Mr. Gengar, aren't you curious about why my puppet theater is so scary?" Teng Shu said to Gengar with a smile, and Gengar immediately became interested after hearing it.

He was indeed very interested in why Teng Shu's theater was so scary. The fear that echoed in the theater made Geng Gui a little greedy.

But that was before. Now, what Gengar wants to eat most is the fear candy cube made by Teng Shu himself. The taste of that thing is simply amazing.

Gengar almost regretted eating so fast. If he had eaten slower, he might have been able to savor the wonderful taste more.

"Let's go. I'll take you in to experience it." Teng Shu led Gengar into the theater. The old butler wanted to follow him in, but Teng Shu felt that the old butler was too old, so he chose to let the old butler wait outside.

Then Teng Shu brought Geng Gui into the theater. He entered with four other tourists. The theater could accommodate five tourists at a time.

Teng Shu remained calm throughout the whole process. After all, all these scares were arranged by him.

He even knew when the puppets turned their heads, so naturally there was nothing to scare him.

But the other four tourists were different.

"Oh my God! Those dolls are looking at me!" A girl sang a very high note, and Teng Shu felt that she had the potential to become a soprano.

"How did you do it?" Gengar asked curiously while lying on Teng Shu's shoulder.

Little Q lay on the top of the rattan tree, staring at the tourists in front of it who were screaming in fear, and kept slurping his saliva.

These fear values ​​are delicious.

In Gengar's eyes, these puppets are just dead objects, with no ghost Pokémon controlling them at all, but these tourists are still so scared that they keep dropping delicious fears.

"Mr. Gengar, you should know that fear comes from the unknown." Teng Shu said softly.

This is also Teng Shu’s understanding of fear.

In Teng Shu's opinion, the biggest problem with movies and TV series in the Pokémon world is that they are not unknown enough. Most horror movies here have Pokémon appearing in them, and they are obvious.

It may seem a little scary at first, but it gets boring the more you watch it.

After all, there are just a few ghost Pokémon causing troubles all the time. After seeing Pokémon, the horror movie becomes an alternative trainer movie.

So for Teng Shu, Pokémon will not appear in the movies he shoots.

In this case, enough unknowns can bring about extreme fear.

"Unknown?" Geng Gui was a little interested. He was now a little interested in Teng Shu. This guy seemed to have a very unique research on how to scare people.

"Correct."

"Mr. Gengar, look, these puppets won't move, and there are no ghost Pokémon behind them. Even if tourists release Pokémon, they won't be able to find any ghost Pokémon."

"This way, tourists will feel fear, fear about why these dolls are staring at them."

Gengar moved closer and found something very interesting: no matter where he stood or from what angle he looked at the puppets, they were all looking at him.

This gave him a feeling of being watched.

"How interesting." Gengar stuck out his tongue and licked it. How do these puppets' eyes do this?

Just as the group continued walking, a puppet suddenly fell from above and landed in front of the couple leading the group.

Teng Shu blocked his ears skillfully, and then a sharp soprano voice tore through the silence of the theater, causing more puppets to fall.

This causes the soprano's pitch to continue to rise.

"Is this also your design?" Gengar floated to Teng Shu's side.

"Well, a small mechanism. However, the falling of these dolls has nothing to do with the mechanism." Teng Shu looked at the female tourist in front of him with a strange look. The singing voice of this female tourist was really outrageous.

Then, under the high-pitched singing voice of the female tourist, Teng Shu followed the tourist through scenes such as the puppet questioning and Mary Shaw puppet chasing.

By the time Teng Shu stood skillfully on the edge of the broken iron bridge, watching four tourists screaming and falling down, and then being frightened unconscious by Mary Shaw rushing towards them, the entire puppet theater tour had come to an end.

Mary Shaw flew up with a laugh. When she saw Teng Shu, she waved to him enthusiastically. Then she noticed Gengar on Teng Shu's shoulder.

This made Mary Shaw instantly alert.

"It seems that the only one appearing in your theater is this dream demon." Gengar didn't care about Mary Shaw's gaze. He just talked about his discovery with Teng Shu with great interest.

"Yes." Teng Shu nodded and admitted it.

In the entire theater, only the Dream Demon appears in front of the tourists, and the other ghost Pokémon are operating the mechanisms and sound systems in the back.

"People are too familiar with ghost-type Pokémon, so the appearance of ghost Pokémon will make people feel less scared." Teng Shu explained.

The same is true of his films.

There are no ghost Pokémon, but instead there are human evil spirits that humans cannot understand and most of the time cannot observe to make people feel scared.

This avoids the appearance of ghost Pokémon causing a change in the direction of the entire movie.

What Teng Shu wants to give the audience is The Grudge, but if Uncle Ying is included in the cast list, then domestic audiences won’t be too scared.

"Unknown?" Gengar seemed to be thinking about something. This method of scaring people seemed quite interesting. And looking at the screams of those tourists, it was clear that Teng Shu's idea was very successful.

　Seeing Gengar, Haunter, and Gastly appear, I think most people are thinking about how to subdue them, rather than being afraid of [Doghead]
