Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

The round belly rumbled at just the right moment.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

It quickly covered its stomach, glanced guiltily at Ash and Pikachu sleeping soundly on the bed, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one had been woken up.

As a Ghost-type Pokémon, as for proper food... well, I only eat a few bites out of respect for Hanako.

After the food entered my stomach, it always felt like I had swallowed a wad of cotton, light and airy, without any sense of reality.

The real feast is made from those negative emotions!

It followed the scent out the window, gliding along in the shadows under the moonlight, and skillfully darted towards Professor Oak.

Stress, anxiety, nightmares, worries...

As a top scholar, this person not only possesses high-quality negative energy, but also a large quantity of it!

Even from a distance, Gengar could sense the dense and potent negative energy fluctuations just by getting close.

It darted into the room and landed in the shadows beside the desk.

Gengar took a deep breath in front of Professor Oak, who had just fallen asleep on the table.

The aroma filled Gengar's nostrils, making it feel so comfortable that its whole body went limp.

A multitude of flavors intertwine, and after a whole night of fermentation and settling, it is now at its most mellow and rich!

"Gag~"

Ah, what a perfect meal.

Gengar is right behind its delicious meal!

It closed its eyes, ready to start.

"Gag~"

Me too!

A voice came almost close to its back.

Not only was the tone exactly the same, but it was even drawn out a bit, with a touch of sinister laughter.

Gengar: "?!"

Startled, it slammed its round bottom into the pen holder on the table, knocking it over.

Pens, markers, erasers, and paperclips of various colors were scattered all over the table.

A bottle of ink that wasn't properly capped overturned, splashing ink all over Gengar.

It turned its head stiffly.

Moonlight slanted in through the window cracks, illuminating the edge of the shadows.

And in that darkest part of the landscape, another Gengar was floating around!

Its body was a size larger than Ash's, with a fuller and smoother outline, as if it had been nurtured in the dark for a long time, and its purple color had turned almost black.

The moonlight outlined its silhouette, and its scarlet eyes gleamed with two eerie lights, their gaze fixed intently on it.

But the most terrifying thing is that smile.

It has the same wide grin that reaches its ears, but there's something else in this Gengar's smile that's hard to describe!

"Gag~"

Ouch~

Look at your cute face, it's all dirty now!

Ash's Gengar was so frightened that it dared not move at all.

But the Gengar suddenly moved closer to Ash's Gengar.

I pressed its face down and stuck out my tongue to lick the ink stain!

Slurp~

Gengar: "?!"

Ash!

Help! Help! Help!

263. The Secrets of the Tortoise Clan!

The next day.

The morning sunlight peeked through the gaps in the curtains, and Xiao Zhi got up early to begin his daily exercise.

Arriving at the training ground, I released my Pokémon.

With just one glance, Ash noticed the unusual behavior of Gengar.

As usual, when this guy comes out, he pokes and beckons at everyone, trying to tease anyone he can get his hands on.

Today it seemed a little listless, but its eyes held an undisguised excitement.

It was like a child who had just been beaten up but then discovered a candy house, his expression full of contradiction.

Scratching his head, Xiao Zhi, who was still confused, simply used his strengths.

If you don't understand, just ask!

"Gengar, what's wrong with you today? You're acting strange."

Gengar was engrossed in its own little world when Ash's voice suddenly came from behind, causing it to instinctively flinch.

"Gag?!"

As if recalling something unpleasant, it quickly looked down at its own shadow.

Fortunately, it was normal, ordinary, and nothing strange happened.

Gengar finally let out a long breath.

"what happened?"

Ash followed Gengar's gaze and looked at the clearly outlined shadow on the ground.

"Is there something wrong with the shadow?"

"Geng, genge!"

Gengar's furrowed brow, its short fingers twisted together, clearly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

If an ordinary person asked it about Gengar, it naturally wouldn't want to talk about it.

But since it was you who asked, Ash... well, okay!

Just to be on the safe side, Gengar cautiously looked around first.

First, we located the Charizard.

Charizard was wearing Squirtle's discarded sunglasses, keeping a considerable distance and looking wary of him.

very good!

Gengar then looked at the other Pokémon.

Pikachu, who stayed up late studying last night, is yawning, its head bobbing up and down.

Pidgey is also trading blows with Butterfree, not to mention the rather laid-back Abandoned Monkey and Kingler Crab.

Once safety is confirmed, no one will eavesdrop.

Gengar nodded, then leaned close to Ash's ear and whispered something very, very softly.

Xiao Zhi initially listened attentively, but the more he listened, the more his eyebrows furrowed.

"What? You mean you met a master last night?"

"Gag!"

Gengar nodded proudly.

"What kind of expert?"

Ash wasn't worried that Gengar would be tricked.

After all, given Gengar's cunning and shrewd nature.

It's already good enough if you don't lie and get yourself into trouble; how could you possibly suffer a loss?

He was simply curious about what kind of person could make this fearless Gengar so subdued, yet also so excited that its eyes lit up.

What kind of expert...

Gengar's round face scrunched up.

She was just an ordinary old lady, right?

After being attacked by that freak Gengar last night, it was forced to meet an old lady whose face was obscured by shadows.

It wasn't that it never resisted.

But there was nothing he could do; the opponent was too strong, Ash wasn't around, and he was no match for them.

Even their prized hypnosis techniques could be easily broken by the other side.

However, the blonde old lady wasn't very nice to me at first.

But when the Gengar approached and excitedly reported what it had been doing in Professor Oak's room, the professor inexplicably became very friendly towards it...

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Ash noticed a key keyword and raised a hand to interrupt Gengar's gesture.

"You mean you disturbed the doctor's rest again last night?"

"Gurgle...Gurgle for you~"

Gengar rubbed its two short claws together awkwardly in front of it, a sheepish smile spreading across its round face.

Who, who made that young man smell so good?
