Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

Lucario, Gardevoir, and Charizard have an absolute advantage in terms of level.

Ordinary, weak Gastly wouldn't dare to mess with it.

But now they're actually charging straight at us.

Crimson felt a little nervous as he watched a large group of 'black mist' rushing towards him.

Just as Haoyan was thinking about what to do, he once again commanded the two Pokémon to make a move: "Xiao Lu, use Psychic, Xiao Long, use Flamethrower."

Gardevoir's little hand finally rested on its chest, quickly condensing energy.

The air around her vibrated.

The Psychic-type energy, carried by the air, rapidly attacked the Gastly swarm.

The fire-breathing dragon was also very fast; with one breath, a large burst of scorching flames came out.

They quickly dealt with the group of Gastly.

... ...

"Haoyan, there are some black stones over there." After dealing with the Gastly, Gardevoir pointed to a spot and said to him.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Haoyan took the lead and walked at the very front.

"Crimson, follow me."

"Ah...yes!" Red, with his Pokémon, quickly followed Hao Yan's footsteps.

... ...

"Mr. Haoyan, what are these?" Chihong asked, puzzled, looking at the several black stones in Haoyan's hand.

"These are Dark Stones."

"It contains a large amount of dark energy."

“Some Pokémon can evolve by absorbing dark energy,” Haoyan patiently replied.

The current Crimson is not yet 'Lord Crimson'.

Having just embarked on his journey, he was at best just an ordinary trainer.

Red's Pokémon level is relatively low, and he has limited experience, which is typical of an average trainer.

Growth doesn't happen overnight.

"Ghost and Haunter, although they do not need these Dark Stones when they evolve, will absorb the radiation of these Dark Energy as carriers of their psychic power."

"A few Dark Stones won't have much of an effect, but with so many piled up here, over time, it will subtly change Gastly's personality."

"Ghost-type Pokémon are already fond of playing pranks, and the changes brought about by the Dust Stone will intensify this mischievous tendency, turning it into an attack."

"This is why ordinary trainers dare not enter the Spirit Bone Tower."

"Because if you get too close, you'll be attacked by Gastly," Haoyan explained.

"I see!" Chi Hong understood after hearing Hao Yan's complete explanation.

Looking at the dark stones on the ground, he said, "With so many dark stones here, did someone deliberately place them here?"

“That’s right.” Haoyan nodded, and Chi Hong’s reaction was acceptable.

Start by putting these Dark Stones into your backpack.

These dark stones are of mixed and impure quality, so they won't fetch a very good price.

However, the quantity was sufficient, so it could be considered as travel expenses for the trip to Kanto.

In addition, it also prevents Gastly from being affected again after waking up.

"Haoyan, someone's here."

After Haoyan finished collecting all the Dark Stones, he heard Gardevoir's voice.

Around a corner, a boy was watching them menacingly.

There was a faint 'ghostly figure' behind the boy.

This 'ghostly figure' seems to be manipulating the boy.

This boy is Professor Oak's grandson, Blue.

... ...

Chapter 108 The Real Deal Has Arrived

"Green!"

"It's me, Crimson!" Crimson, flustered by his anxiety, failed to see the 'ghostly figure' lurking behind him.

He ran over, wanting to greet Qinglu.

The silent Qinglv took out her Poké Ball.

He released his Charizard.

The owner was manipulated, and the Charmeleon was also bewitched.

It immediately spewed out a flame as soon as it opened its mouth.

It sprayed towards the crimson.

The crimson figure, which was moving forward, noticed something amiss with the green.

Although Crimson and Green usually don't get along, they are essentially good brothers who love and hate each other.

Green would never order its Charizard minions to attack him without saying a word.

As the crimson figure drew closer, it could clearly see the 'ghostly figure' behind the cyan-green.

However, the distance has already closed, and at such close range, there is no way to dodge.

Crimson quickly used his arms to shield himself from the flames.

"Little Lu, use Teleport to pull Crimson back," Hao Yan said to Gardevoir.

Swish!

Crimson felt a sudden loss of weight and then collapsed to the ground.

"I...I'm alright?" Chi Hong was sweating profusely, but when he saw Hao Yan standing right next to him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take care of yourself," Haoyan said, helping Chihong up.

"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Haoyan." Chi Hong quickly stood up.

"Leave the rest to me." Haoyan looked at the 'ghostly figure' hiding behind Qinglu.

Automatically, the data appeared in his mind.

Pokémon: Gengar

[Attributes]: Ghost, Poison

[Level]: 47

【Ability】: Cursed Body (When a Pokémon with this ability is attacked, there is a certain chance that the target will be immobilized for a period of time.)

[Note:]: Pokémon in a state of immobilization cannot use the last move they used before entering the immobilization state.

[Description]: It sneaks into a person's shadow at midnight, slowly stealing their body heat. This powerful ghost can manipulate a person's will at will.

... ...

"Xiao Ou, go up and hold Qinglu down, don't let him make any moves."

"Little Dragon, go and block that Charmander's attack, don't let it hit Little Ou."

"Xiao Lu, if that Gengar dares to make a move, immediately use Psychic Beam to attack it."

Both Lucario and Gardevoir can be linked to Hoarder, so Hoarder's commands often do not require words.

But this time, Hao Yan shouted the order directly to the Gengar.

Lucario stomped on the ground and sped towards the green body.

Charizard flapped its wings and followed Lucario, always on guard against Charmeleon.

Gardevoir remained standing beside Hao Yan, its hands clasped in front of its chest, gathering its energy, ready to attack if Gengar dared to make any rash moves.

Haoyan's verbal command was clearly directed at the Gengar behind Qinglv.

He wanted to rescue Qinglu.

Would Gengar dare to make a move?

dare not!

Although Gengar's level is higher than Haoyan's Pokémon's level.

But it's not much higher.

Gengar simply cannot take on three opponents at once.

The moment Gengar set off, its figure began to fade away.

escaped.

Go find his master.

With no other options, he could only flee.

Originally, he thought he could use Qinglu to blackmail Haoyan.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly wise Haoyan was completely unmoved by his tricks.

Lucario safely brought Qinglv back to Haoyan's side.

Red rushed over to check on Green.

Haoyan felt Qinglu's pulse; it was beating normally.

Apart from a slightly lower body temperature, there are no major problems.
