Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

What did she see?

Gengar lowered its head, met Pikachu's curious eyes, and then began to explain with great pride.

"Gag, gag!"

Two short hands gestured as they described the scene in the illusion.

This is naturally what she fears most at this moment!

This person is incredibly powerful!

Now he's fighting three rats all by himself, and he's holding his own!

Pikachu blinked.

Three rats?

What three rats?

Gengar stopped showing off to Pikachu and suddenly became serious.

Lillie in the illusion... suddenly unleashed her power and defeated three mice!

Did they realize it was an illusion, or did they break through their own limits?

Gengar has a far-reaching gaze.

But it doesn't matter!

The army of mice is endless!

If three don't work, then thirty; if thirty don't work, then three hundred; if three hundred don't work, then three thousand!

Gengar suddenly swung its short arm.

In the illusion, the defeated Pikachus rose one by one—

No, it's not standing up, it's splitting apart.

One becomes two, two become four, four become eight.

Each Pikachu shook off the grass clippings, raised its head in the exact same way, and looked at Lillie with the same gaze.

Then, they moved together.

They were gradually shrinking Lillie's living space.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Lillie's hands were still waving, still blocking, still pushing away the furry bodies that pounced on her.

But there are too many, far too many—

One Pikachu hugged her leg, two Pikachu clung to her arm, and three Pikachu climbed up her back.

A furry sensation came from all directions.

All Lillie could see were yellow figures, and all she could hear were the sounds of "Pikachu Pikachu".

Her body began to weaken, her knees began to bend, and her vision began to blur—

Just as Lillie was about to lose consciousness due to excessive physical contact.

Within the illusion.

Everything suddenly froze.

The Pikachu that had climbed onto her seemed to have been paused, frozen in mid-air, completely still.

The yellow waves froze into a still painting.

Then, the screen started to reverse.

It's like someone rewound the videotape.

The Pikachus detached from Lillie and returned to their original positions one by one. Sixteen became eight, eight became four, four became two, and two became one.

Finally, only one Pikachu remained, lying alone on the grass, the swirling circles in its eyes spinning in reverse.

The Pikachu stood up, retreated to the starting point of its charge, and then—

"Pikachu—"

It cried out and rushed out again.

Everything reset!

A perfect cycle has been achieved.

Looking at Lillie, who had fully recovered, Gengar revealed a mysterious smile.

Rest assured, learned humans!

You should focus on desensitization training!

Here with its merciful Gengar.

You will never reach the reality of being in a coma!

.......

sunset.

Gengar finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Its body swayed, as if it were drunk, and it floated erratically in mid-air.

Those scarlet eyes blinked repeatedly, their eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

"Gag—"

It let out a weak cry and voluntarily broke the hypnosis.

After all, maintaining such a high level of illusion is quite tiring.

This is different from the illusion of "endless exams".

That approach, which mainly uses psychological tactics, basically makes people torture themselves.

Gengar only needs to build a framework, and the rest of its brain will fill in the gaps on its own.

But this class is different.

This is a fantasy world that requires physical contact. Every action, every touch, every split and movement of Pikachu requires computing power to simulate and maintain.

Given today's energy expenditure... Gengar silently calculated that the only way to replenish his negative emotions was to have a big meal at the research institute tonight.

As Gengar released its grip, Lillie's body jolted violently.

She was like someone surfacing from deep water, her chest heaving violently as she gasped for breath.

His knees buckled, and he knelt down on the grass.

Sweat soaked the stray hairs on her forehead, a few strands of pale gold hair clung to her forehead, and her face was flushed with an unnatural redness.

Her gaze remained unfocused for a few seconds before her pupils slowly refocused.

"Pikachu?"

Pikachu squatted there, tilting its head, waving its little paws in the air, its round eyes filled with inquiry and concern.

The moment Lillie saw Pikachu, her first instinct was to assume a defensive stance.

Her body jerked backward, her hips almost leaving the grass, and one hand shot up.

A flicker of alertness flashed in her eyes, and all the muscles in her body tensed up in an instant.

Until she saw clearly the furry figure in front of her, it was just one Pikachu, not two, not four, and certainly not that endless yellow ocean.

Lillie finally let out a long breath.

His shoulders slumped, and he seemed to have all his strength drained away, kneeling limply on the grass.

"Is it finally... over...?"

Ash, who had been watching from the side, looked at Lillie.

"Although Gengar using hypnosis on you was a bit sudden, do you feel much better now?"

Upon hearing this, Lillie paused for a moment.

She looked down at her hands.

Although for a fleeting moment, she did instinctively want to strike.

However, after experiencing so much in the illusion, the feeling of fear didn't seem as intense anymore.

The first feeling that welled up in her heart when she saw Pikachu was not overwhelming panic, but a kind of... vigilance.

There was no trembling, no shrinking back.

It really is much better!

"Thank you!"

Lillie looked up at Ash, her eyes sparkling.

Xiao Zhi waved his hand.

“And Gengar, you too!” Lillie turned her head and looked at the Ghost-type Pokémon lying on the grass next to her, exhausted like a lump of mud.

"Choked up..."

Gengar gave a weak groan and scratched its head.

This is the first time... it's been thanked for a prank.

It feels... a little strange.

"I... I really do feel much better." Lillie took a deep breath, clenched her fist, as if to encourage herself, "If I do this a few more times... maybe, maybe I really will get better!"

She raised her head and looked intently at Gengar.

"Gengar, how about we do it a few more times!"

Gengar: "?!"

It sprang up from the ground with a start, its short arms shaking wildly, its head bobbing like a rattle.
