Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 423 The Ghost That's Too Familiar to Be Familiar

Dr. Yamanashi's research institute came into the public eye.

At the same time, he also saw Miss Officer Jenny pacing back and forth at the door.

Fang Yan gently squeezed her legs together, and Nine-Tailed Fox leaped high, arriving beside Miss Officer Jenny.

"Sister Sha, what's going on?"

Fang Yan climbed down from the back of the Nine-Tailed Fox and looked at Officer Jenny, who looked anxious, and asked.

"You've finally arrived."

Miss Officer Jenny breathed a sigh of relief. "Come in with me, and I'll tell you what happened."

Miss Officer Jenny led Fang Yan into the research institute, explaining the ins and outs of the matter as they walked.

"Our Sandstone Town is north of Twinleaf Town, and there's a road that leads directly to Ogre City. Not long ago, a trainer ran back to the Pokémon Center, saying he'd seen a ghost."

"Is this some kind of ghost?"

Officer Jenny shook her head. "I don't know. We didn't pay much attention at first, thinking it was some Ghost-type Pokémon playing a prank. But in the following days, people kept coming to report that they had lost contact on that road. Before we could send anyone over, some trainers who were passing by had already formed a team and gone there."

"And then they lost contact too?"

Miss Officer Jenny hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Later, I led a team there and found a cave that suddenly appeared. It was eerie. I led the team inside, but I passed out as soon as I went in. In the end, it was Arcanine who desperately carried me out."

Fang Yan looked at the Growlithe, reached out and massaged its head, "Did you see anything?"

Arcanine let out a howl and closed its eyes to enjoy itself.

"Awooo————"

There was fire, terrifying fire, purple fire, and sand, a huge shape, so scary.

Purple fire?

Chandelure? Coffin (formerly Coffin)? Or some other Ghost-type Pokémon?

A huge size?

How big is it?

Hmm—it's much more sophisticated and high-class than Dali.

Are there any Ghost-type Pokémon that are taller than Dali, who is almost two meters tall (1.9 meters).

Night Demon?

It can't be a giant Gengar, can it?

The world described in the dialect also has giant Pokémon.

For example, the giant Dragonite over by the lighthouse, and the giant Gengar and giant Alakazam from ancient times, I think it's these two?

Are there giant Pokémon here too?

Could it also be a clay giant?

"Have you come up with any ideas?"

Dr. Yamanashi's voice rang out.

Fang Yan snapped out of her daze and found Dr. Yamanashi standing in front of the big screen, looking at her. She asked him a question.

Fang Yan shook his head.

"Based on the energy analysis of what was transmitted back, it's highly likely to be a Pokémon."

Dr. Yamanashi pointed to the results on the screen and said.

"I also suspect it's a Pokémon."

Fang Yan looked at the analysis above and replied.

"But I learned from Arcanine that it is a giant creature that is emitting flames, but I can't find the corresponding Pokémon right now."

"Can you understand what Arcanine is saying?"

Miss Officer Jenny was somewhat surprised.

"It's similar to telepathy; I can understand some of what they hear."

"No wonder----"

Miss Officer Jenny nodded and said so.

"Full of flames? Huge size?"

Dr. Yamanashi carefully considered his words in the dialect.

"Yes, and the flames are blue-purple."

"Blue-purple flames—a crystal chandelier spirit?"

Upon hearing Professor Yamanashi's guess, Fang Yan shook his head. "I've thought of that too, but Chandelure shouldn't be that big. According to Arcanine, it seems to have legs."

"Oh, by the way, there are sandstorms there, did you know that?"

"Sandstorm weather?"

Fang Yan was taken aback when he heard Officer Jenny's additional information.

"If it's a sandstorm—Bangiras, the master of sandstorms?"

Professor Yamanashi nodded. "That makes sense, but Tyranitar shouldn't have blue-purple flames, right?"

"Too."

Fang Yan recalled what Officer Jenny had told him at the beginning, "I remember Officer Jenny said that she fainted when she went into that cave, which was very likely hypnosis, so it was probably a Ghost or Psychic type Pokémon."

"But with such a large size—"

"It could be a clay giant."

"Clay giant?"

Dr. Yamanashi's eyes lit up. "Very likely."

Fang Yan nodded, "Whatever Pokémon it is, I'll go take a look and I'll know."

"Doctor, could you please locate my exact position on my phone? I'm planning to go there and take a look."

"Do you need any help?"

Dr. Yamanashi took the phone from Fang Yan, handed it to his assistant, and asked.

"No need, Gengar and the others are here."

As soon as Fang Yan finished speaking, Gengar jumped out from Fang Yan's shadow.

"Kou Jie—"

Ta-da! Gui Gui makes her dazzling entrance.

Professor Yamanashi looked at Gengar and laughed. "Is this the Gengar that defeated the Garchomp?"

Before Fang Yan could speak, Gengar, feeling embarrassed, tried to touch the back of his head, but eventually gave up, reached out and scratched his big butt, chuckling.

"Kou Jie—"

I used a little bit of cleverness, hehe.

Wow? That's rare. The little chubby boy can actually be shy?

"Alright, the location has been set for you. Be careful."

Fang Yan took the phone, laughing as he said, "Who do you think I am? The Sinnoh League's unrecorded champion!"

Looking at Fang Yan, who was brimming with confidence—a man he'd known for less than two years who had already defeated Cynthia—Dr. Yamanashi paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his serious face.

"Then, I wish you good luck in your military endeavors."

"Wait for my good news."

Fang Yan waved his hand and walked out of the research institute with Miss Officer Jenny.

"Sister Sha, has no one gone over today?"

Officer Jenny shook her head. "No, the higher-ups speculate that only a trainer with the strength of an Elite Four member can solve this problem. Therefore, we have strictly prohibited some trainers from going. As you know, some trainers are very enthusiastic and insist on going to help, but we have stopped them all."

"That's fine then."

Fang Yan rode Ninetales and noticed that Officer Jenny was also riding Arcanine.

"Sister Xiaosha, what's wrong with you—"

"I'll go with you."

He let out a soft "Ah!" in dialect.

"Otherwise, as Officer Jenny of Sand Town, this is my responsibility, and I have a duty to go with you."

After Miss Officer Jenny finished speaking, she comforted Fang Yan, "Don't worry, I'll do whatever you say."

No matter where she is, Miss Officer Azhar is always the first to lead the charge.

Led by Officer Jenny, Fang Yan arrived at a spot not far from the cave.

"If I remember correctly, the entrance to the cave is just ahead."

Miss Officer Jenny spoke up.

Fang Yan looked at the boy. Dust and sand were flying everywhere, covering the entire road and making visibility extremely low.

"What a huge sandstorm!"

He asked in a dialect, "Was that cave there from the beginning?"

"That's the strange thing. This cave only appeared recently, which is why many people say they've encountered a ghost."

"A cave that appeared just a few days ago?"

Fang Yan frowned.

Can Ghost-type Pokémon dig a cave in a short time?

Could it really be haunted?!

A chill ran down my spine when I heard the dialect.

"Goblin!"

Wow!

Gengar suddenly appeared in front of Fangyan, gouged out his eyes, held them in its palm, and then made a face.

Fang Yan was startled by the sudden appearance of the big, fat face.

"I*"

Fang Yan fell off the back of the nine-tailed fox and landed on the floor with a thud, but surprisingly, his bottom didn't hurt.

Because I was so numb I couldn't feel anything.

Gengar: "Kouja!"

I finally scared them! Hahahaha!

Officer Jenny's lips twitched involuntarily as she watched Gengar, who was holding its eyes in its hands and laughing heartily with its hands on its hips.

Your interaction is like—it's kind of like seeing a ghost—

Fang Yan glared at Gengar, "You bastard, this doesn't count!"

"Goblin!"

Why doesn't it count!

"You took advantage of someone in distress!"

"Goblin!"

So you were scared too!

"No!"

Calculate!

"It doesn't count for me to say!"

I don't care, so be it!

Fangyan stood up and tugged at the corner of its mouth. Fortunately, thanks to its prank, Fangyan felt much more relaxed now.

"Everyone, I'm counting on you."

The Poké Ball wobbled slightly.

Miss Goth, Miss Skirt, Mighty, Zoroark, and Latias, who was invisible and following beside them, all nodded.

For some reason, seeing them inexplicably gave me a greater sense of security regarding my dialect.

Miss Gothic took the lead, raising her hands, her eyes surging with an eerie purple light. Her powerful spiritual energy enveloped everyone and their Pokémon, protecting them from the sandstorm.

"This is it."

Fang Yan looked at the three-meter-high cave entrance in front of him and couldn't help but swallow. "What kind of Pokémon could dig out such a standard cave in such a short time?"

Miss Gothic led the way in, clearing a path for the others.

It was pitch black.

"It's so dark."

A voice in a local dialect rang out, and the next second, blue-purple flames lit up.

"It appeared so quickly?!"

Fang Yan looked around warily, and the Nine-Tailed Fox and the others were also startled.

Miss Skirt: What's going on? I didn't sense any danger.

Nine-Tails: There's no sign of danger!

Dali squinted, his arms bound with black bandages, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Just as everyone was on high alert, a familiar voice reached their ears.

"Kou Jie Yi"

Why do you all look so serious?

Looking over, Fang Yan saw several balls of blue-purple flames floating in Gengar's hand.

Will-o'-the-wisp.

dialect:----

Miss Skirt: ————

Nine-Tailed Fox: ————

"What are you doing here?"

Fang Yan, looking utterly exasperated, asked.

"Kou Jie?"

Didn't you say it was dark? I'm providing you with light, what's wrong?

dialect:----

I—you—it—

"It's fine, but using will-o'-the-wisps for lighting right now isn't really appropriate, is it? Aren't we here to catch ghosts?"

After speaking in dialect, I felt like something was off.

Ghost Hunting — Fire — Geng —

Before it even started, have you already caught a ghost that's fat, has short legs, and short arms?

"Put out the fire."

Oh.

Gengar blew a breath, and the cave was plunged into darkness again.

well----

Miss Goth sighed.

Then his eyes burst forth with a dazzling light.

flash.

"Wow, Miss Goth, you can even flash your lights!"

Fang Yan remembers this move, which is an essential move in many games such as Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Dark Phantom. It is usually learned in order to find our esteemed Mr. Daigo.

Although we played pirated games back then, Fang Yan still quite liked this move.

Later, after the Arceus legend came out, Fang Yan had money to buy the official version, only to find that this move seemed to have been deleted.

I never expected Miss Goth would be able to learn this move.

"By the way, Miss Goth, you know this move, why didn't you use it from the beginning?"

"Goethe————"

You didn't say you couldn't see—

dialect:----

Looking at the cave, which appeared as normal as during the day, with its bottomless abyss still visible ahead, "How's it going? Can you sense anything?"

Miss Goth shook her head.

"Then let's keep going."

The group continued walking behind Miss Goth.

Dali stood beside Miss Gothic, ready to intervene in case of any emergency.

"Latias, if there really are ghosts, you'll protect me, right?"

Fang Yan reached out and touched Latias, then hugged it and asked in a low voice.

"Demons? How many masters do demons have? Can they withstand my Meteor Shower? A Meteor Shower enhanced by Mega Evolution and Heart Drop, can it kill them?"

Latias's voice echoed in Fang Yan's mind, "Didn't you see what they said on TV? All fear stems from insufficient firepower!"

"If one shot doesn't work, try two; if two shots don't work, try three; if three shots don't work, try ten!"

"Smash it!"

"You should learn less from Darkrai. You spend all your time surfing the internet and you've become corrupted."

Without even looking, you can tell that Latias either learned it from Gengar or from Darkrai.

Those two bad guys have corrupted the Pokémon in the nursery.

"Is it that deep in here?"

Miss Officer Jenny suddenly spoke up, saying that they had been walking around for a while since they came in, but they still hadn't reached the end.

"Fang Yan—could this place really be haunted? Otherwise, how could such a deep cave suddenly appear?"

Fang Yan looked at the somewhat frightened Miss Officer Jenny and comforted her, saying, "It shouldn't be."

Just as I was about to say something more, I suddenly heard Miss Goth speak.

"Goethe".

Wait a moment.

Miss Goth's eyes shone even brighter as she stared ahead.

Miss Skirt held an energy ball in her hand, ready to unleash it.

Zoroark's Dark Blast also gathered in his hand.

A white light emanated from the powerful fist.

Sparks began to burst from the nine-tailed fox's fur.

Blue-purple energy began to gather around Fang Yan.

Just when everyone was serious.

"Goblin!"

You monster, quickly reveal your true form!

Gengar's voice broke the somber atmosphere.

Fang Yan turned around and saw Gengar holding a peach wood sword that he had pulled out from somewhere, twirling it in the air with great flair.

"Little rascal, where did you steal this peach wood sword from this time?!"

"Kou Jie?"

Don't you use a peach wood sword to catch ghosts?

"Aren't you a ghost?!"

The dialect word is "gritting one's teeth".

The story goes that the Gengar, a champion from the breeding house, went to catch a ghost. When they encountered a situation, everyone was on high alert. They saw the Gengar, holding a peach wood sword, shouting "Demon, take this!" and charging forward.

"Kou Jie?"

Gengar stopped halfway through its charge, its eyes filled with confusion.

"Kou Jie?"

A familiar scent? What are you doing here?

Miss Goth and the others also felt it.

A figure emerged from the darkness.

"Dream!"

Get out of here!

Before he could finish speaking, the figure saw Gengar standing in front of him, holding a peach wood sword, and became puzzled.

"Dream?"

Boss? What are you doing here?

Fang Yan was both amused and exasperated by the sight.
