Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 52: Filming after turning off the lights

"It's really getting dark." Teng Shu looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

The power of Pokémon is really amazing. It actually turned the entire house and its surroundings into a dark environment, but it also caused some trouble.

The staff were frantically turning on the lights, and some Pokémon were trembling with fear from the sudden change in light and darkness.

They are not afraid of the night, but they are afraid of the existence that can cause such darkness.

"Boss, the company has already applied for the [Local Climate Change License] from the Kanaz City Alliance Office yesterday, so there is no need to worry about causing any trouble." Zoroark walked over and said to Teng Shu.

"Yeah, I know." Teng Shu looked at Gengar, feeling a little amused.

This guy Geng Gui is really terrifyingly strong.

But it’s better this way, we can get it done in one go.

"Mr. Gengar, can the rain-praying weather function be used normally?" Teng Shu asked Gengar.

Although I don’t know how Gengar did it, the right thing to do is to take advantage of this opportunity to shoot.

"Of course." Gengar floated beside Teng Shu, its eyes fell on Jigglypuff.

It had read the script and knew that this was the Pokémon that would partner with it this time. At this moment, Jigglypuff was curled up in its trainer's arms, looking at it timidly.

The rising fear satisfied Gengar.

It took a deep breath, and all the emotions of fear and panic were absorbed into its stomach. Gengar patted its stomach contentedly.

"Let the meteorological team start praying for rain. Just a light rain will be enough." Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows and said to Fawu. After hearing this, Fawu immediately started directing the meteorological team to make it rain.

As the Pokémon used the rain-making move, light rain soon fell from the sky. Teng Shu also shot the exterior of the house from several angles, and then it was time for the main film.

However, it was just a matter of one or two seconds, but Gengar made such a big noise that Teng Shu still felt a little amused and helpless.

"Now let's go over the plot, Jigglypuff..." Teng Shu called over the two actors and explained things to them, but when he was explaining Jigglypuff's plot, he noticed that Jigglypuff was already trembling.

Teng Shu paused, then looked at Jigglypuff's trainer.

Jigglypuff is the Pokémon of this trainer. Teng Shu had seen it when he was looking at the actor's information before. Jigglypuff is a member of an opera troupe and has a solid foundation in opera, so he passed the audition and got the invitation.

But now, before the filming even started, Jigglypuff was scared like this. This is not okay.

"I'm sorry, Director Teng Shu, let me give you some advice." Jigglypuff's trainer quickly apologized to Teng Shu, then took Jigglypuff over, patted Jigglypuff's head comfortingly, and whispered something.

Teng Shu shook his head and said nothing.

Although there are many professions that Pokémon can have, because there are no special Pokémon movies in this world, the Pokémon here probably appear most often in commercials, and even in commercials, there are not many scenes that require acting skills.

This results in very few Pokémon characters having decent acting skills.

After a while, Jigglypuff's emotions finally stabilized a little.

"Okay, let's start shooting the first segment." Teng Shu waved the sign in his hand, and the camera, lighting and props teams quickly took their positions.

Teng Shu looked at the camera.

In the picture, accompanied by the faint sound of rain in the background, Jigglypuff walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. Then it walked to the corridor while wiping its hair, humming a song, and then turned off the lights.

The moment the lights were turned off, Gengar instantly appeared in the dark corridor. A strange and twisted figure stood quietly in the corridor, and an invisible aura of fear spread instantly, and Teng Shu, who was standing behind, felt a chill in his heart.

And Jigglypuff was even worse. The moment it turned around, it let out a sharp cry and directly shattered the light bulb in the corridor.

"Cut!" Teng Shu could only shout cut.

"Mr. Gengar, please take it away." Teng Shu looked at Gengar helplessly. Gengar was laughing, and from its smiling eyes, it could be seen that Gengar was very happy.

But then again, ghost-type Pokémon love to play pranks.

Little Q was excited.

It kept climbing up and down the vine tree, looking eager to try.

However, he was suppressed by Teng Shu, and there was no role for Xiao Q this time.

"Hehehe, okay." Gengar laughed sinisterly, then blended into the shadows again.

Teng Shu looked at the trainer who was comforting Jigglypuff again, and waited for the other party to raise his hand for a signal before continuing the filming of this segment.

After getting out of the bath and turning off the lights, Gengar's strange figure once again appeared in the shadows.

But this time, without the influence of the fear aura, the degree of fright was not very high.

There was a confused expression on Jigglypuff's face. It turned on the light, and Gengar disappeared. It turned off the light again, and Gengar's figure reappeared.

After going back and forth several times, at the moment when the lights were turned off, a twisted ghost with hair made up of teeth and eyes, standing with his back to him and with pale skin suddenly appeared next to Jigglypuff.

The light bulb broke again.

All the staff present looked at Teng Shu, who was a little conflicted.

Jigglypuff's reaction is a bit exaggerated, but it's not useless. After all, the reactions to being frightened are different, and the fear of seeing a ghost coupled with the sudden scream after the silence creates a strong impact in both visual and auditory aspects.

"Let's save one." Teng Shu still decided to shoot another segment, and in this segment, Gengar changed his look again, but as expected, it scared Jigglypuff and made him scream loudly.

Teng Shu took two more shots, and then began to advance the following plot.

Jigglypuff returned to the room trembling. He used tape to cover the lights in the corridor to prevent them from being turned off. However, when he was lying on the bed, he heard a squeaking sound coming from the corridor, as if someone was walking in the corridor.

Then the lights in the corridor went out.

Jigglypuff instantly hid under the quilt, trembling all over. The corridor was pitch black and he could not see anything. Only the bedside lamp was flickering, which increased the atmosphere of fear.

Jigglypuff stretched out his short hands and tried to plug the loose socket.

There is nothing unusual about the original film here, but Teng Shu added a little bit of what was in his mind.

In the camera, a hand covered with corpse spots slowly stretched out from under the bed and grabbed Jigglypuff's hand. But at the moment it was about to touch Jigglypuff's hand, Jigglypuff had already plugged it into the socket, and the hand disappeared in an instant.

The room returned to silence and the lights in the corridor came on.

It was as if everything that just happened was an illusion.

It wasn't until Jigglypuff poked his head out that he saw the horrible monster reaching out to turn off the light.
