Elf: Release? Not possible.

boom! !

There was a bang, a puff of smoke, and then a figure was seen falling from the smoke and landed in front of Pikachu, swinging its long lightning-shaped tail towards Pikachu.

Pickup!!!

Pikachu reacted quickly to avoid the attack and then looked at the figure in front of him.

"What? This is Raichu?" Xiaoxia said in surprise when she saw the figure in front of her. This Gastly actually turned into Raichu?

"That's right! This is Pikachu's evolved form, Raichu. There's no way Pikachu can defeat Raichu."

"But my Pikachu isn't afraid of Raichu! Pikachu uses Iron Tail!"

Facing the Raichu transformed by Gastly, Xiaozhi didn't care at all. Maybe Pikachu would be afraid of something, but it was definitely not Raichu.

Pickup!!!

Upon hearing the sound, Pikachu immediately rushed forward, with a metallic luster flashing on its tail, and swung it directly towards the Raichu in front of it.

BANG!!! People.

Chapter 215: Legend of Girls Gorge (Subscription Request)

The iron tail swung out and hit the Raichu in front of him. The smoke dispersed, and Gastly's figure reappeared and flew backwards, but he quickly stabilized his body.

It has lived for thousands of years, and has always seen the laws of nature, that is, evolved Pokémon are stronger than non-evolved ones. Non-evolved Pokémon are basically afraid of their evolved forms, but who would have thought that Ash's Pikachu is not afraid of Raichu.

"Since you're not afraid of Raichu, then how about this? The Electric Mouse will definitely be afraid of this!" Looking at Pikachu in front of him, Gastly's expression changed slightly, and then smoke came out again.

This time it no longer turned into a Pokémon, but into a huge mousetrap, and when the trap closed it looked like a creepy "177".

Pickup truck??

In the past, they had only faced Pokémon and had no experience fighting with objects. Even Pikachu was a little nervous.

Xiaozhi raised his hand and covered his right eye again, and concentrated his left eye on the mousetrap in front of him. The mousetrap became transparent, and Gastly's figure appeared inside it again.

"Don't be scared Pikachu, it's just an illusion! Use Electric Ball!"

Faced with the situation, Xiaozhi immediately gave the order. After hearing the order, Pikachu's eyes became determined and he launched an attack again. The electric ball was released and the golden energy ball was thrown towards the huge mousetrap that was rushing over.

boom! !

Smoke was seen coming out of the mousetrap again, and then Gastly turned back to its original form and dodged Pikachu's attack by moving sideways, but did not attack again. Seeing this, Xiaozhi did not continue to attack either.

"It's not easy for you to see through my illusion!" Gastly looked at Satoshi and said with admiration.

Xiaozhi also put down his hands after hearing the sound. After being hit in spirit continuously, he was a little tired.

However, the fact that we can be certain that this is an illusion is due to experience. First of all, Gastly is not Ditto and cannot transform into a physical form.

So how does it change its form? In the anime, it not only turns into a mousetrap, but also can change into various things.

In fact, it is not a transformation but an illusion. It is normal for it to speak. After all, it has lived for thousands of years, so it is not surprising that it can learn human language.

Although the things it changes are illusions, there is one thing that is real, that is, its hypnosis is quite powerful. Generally speaking, the special trick of hypnosis is used in battle to make the opponent lose the ability to fight back, and then attack again.

So generally it is to make other people's Pokémon fall asleep, but Gastly's purpose is not to make others fall asleep. It uses its powerful mental power to perform hypnosis.

Large-scale hypnosis has affected everyone's brain waves. To put it simply, everyone has already fallen under its hypnosis, which roughly means that they are already in the dream world it has created, so naturally it can become whatever it wants.

This is not surprising, as, in theory, excellent hypnotic skills might be able to control people even in past lives.

"Illusion? What exactly do you want to do? Why do you want to capture Xiaogang?" Xiaoxia was a little confused, then looked up at Gastly and asked.

"Don't worry little girl, I won't hurt him."

Gastly responded to Misty's question and seemed to have no intention of continuing the fight.

"Then why did you catch Xiaogang?"

"Have you heard of the legend of Maiden's Gorge?" Gastly floated down and asked.

"The Legend of Maiden Gorge?" Xiaoxia was a little confused. It was her first time here and she had never heard of it.

"I've heard a little about it." Xiaozhi was of course clear about it, and he also knew the relationship between Gastly and this legend.

"The reason why this Gorge is called the Gorge is because, long ago, there was a woman whose husband went to sea to fight in a war and never came back."

"And the woman kept waiting, but her husband never came back. Finally, she turned into stone, but she was still waiting for her husband."

Hearing that Misty and Brock seemed a little confused, Gastly still told them the story of the legend. After listening to this story, Misty was already sobbing with tears streaming down her face.

"Woman? Could it be the woman I saw?"

Xiao Gang suddenly realized what was happening and felt a chill, because Gastly had broken the hypnosis and he had regained his normal state of mind. He was a little scared when he thought about whether he had seen a ghost.

"The one you see is me." Gastly floated in front of Xiaogang and said.

"Huh..." Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the voice. Although it was also a ghost, the Pokémon made him more accepting.

"But why did you do that?" Xiaoxia wiped her tears and then asked.

"It's helping that woman!" Xiaozhi said as he stood aside, leaning against a tree with his hands on his chest.

"Huh? That woman?" When Xiaogang heard this, his hair stood on end again. In other words, does the ghost of that woman really exist?

"That's right! Young man, your eyes seem to be able to see many things that others can't see!" Gastly listened to what Xiaozhi said with some appreciation, and seemed very curious about Xiaozhi. It had lived for so many years and had never seen anyone with such power.

Xiaozhi did not respond. He was not very familiar with the power of bonds. He just didn't expect that in addition to being able to establish bonds and communicate with Pokémon mentally, it was the first time he knew that he could also see through illusions.

"I come here once a year. Every year at this time, there is a temple fair."

"So every year when there are many people at the temple fair, I will look for men with weak minds and create illusions for them." Gastly did not hide his purpose.

"You're not mentally strong~~~" After hearing Gastly say this, Satoshi and Misty looked at Brock with contempt.

"Uh... hehe!" Xiaogang scratched his head awkwardly when he saw the looks from his two companions. Of course, he was the one who had a weak mind.

"But what is your purpose in doing this?" Xiaoxia asked in confusion. Since it won't hurt them, why do this?

"It's to make people remember this legend!" Gastly sighed as he looked up at the gradually darkening sky.

After waiting for three more hours at the previous dock, the boat trip took several more hours, and it was already getting dark.

"Two thousand years have passed since that time."

"Two thousand years is enough time for people to forget many things, including this legend."

"And her husband may have died. Once dead, he may have become a ghost, or he may have been reincarnated as another person."

"In order to preserve this legend and spread it to attract more people, every year I would deliberately create supernatural events when there were many people at the temple fair to make people believe in this legend and attract more people."

"This way it can attract more people, or maybe somewhere in the world, her husband's ghost can also know that she is still waiting for him."

Gastly told his purpose. He did this mainly because he was worried that this matter would be known to others, and then the girl would have to wait there alone, which would be too pitiful.

"So that's how it is!" Xiaoxia was even more moved when she heard this, and Xiaogang was the same, and he was no longer so scared.

"Although this method can make people remember it, it can also be scary." Xiaozhi said, leaning against a tree.

"It's touching, but most people are still afraid of supernatural events. If her husband is also a ghost, it's okay, but if he has been reincarnated, he might be so scared after hearing the news that he won't dare to come!"

Although Gastly's actions are indeed impressive, for others, the thought of it is so terrifying that they may be scared to death and dare not come.

And if her husband was a ghost, he should have come back long ago, unless he didn't love her at all. In that case, there would be no need to wait any longer. But if he had already been reincarnated, he might not dare to come after hearing about such ghosts and monsters.

"..." Gastly fell silent after hearing that. It was indeed like what Xiaozhi said. He just wanted to help her before and didn’t think too much about it.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"For her, leaving here and starting a new life is the best relief." Xiaozhi was just stating his own opinion, in fact, no matter what.

After such a long time, her husband did not come back. If he had been reincarnated, it might mean that he did not care about his wife. Of course, it might also be that he did not expect his wife to wait for him for so long.

But for the woman, she doesn't seem to care. Even if it is just the reincarnation of her husband, she still hopes to take a look at it. Leaving here, reincarnating and starting a new life is the best outcome.

"So what do you think we should do?"

Perhaps because the boy in front of him was a little special, Gastly didn't take any offense when he heard what Xiaozhi said. Although he came here every year and said he was just working, he actually really wanted to help the woman.

"You can hypnotize humans and Pokémon, but can you hypnotize ghosts?" Xiaozhi said to Gastly.

"Ok??"

Gastly fell silent. It had hypnotized Pokémon and humans before, but it had never thought of hypnotizing ghosts. However, theoretically it was not impossible.

Because in theory, ghost-type Pokémon also belong to the ghost state, and it can hypnotize ghost-type Pokémon, so strictly speaking, there is no problem in hypnotizing human ghosts.

"Since you can turn into anything, maybe you can become her husband and help her fulfill her wish!" Xiaozhi said to Gastly.

"This... But she is very familiar with her husband, it is easy to tell, and... Although I know her, I don't know her husband and have never met her husband!"

It came here by accident and got to know the woman, but it didn't know what the woman's husband looked like, so it was easy to be exposed.

"That's why I asked if you could hypnotize ghosts. If you can, it doesn't have to be exactly the same, right?"

Of course Xiaozhi also knows this, but as long as hypnosis can be achieved, it’s actually not a big problem, right?

Just like many people often dream about a person. You know he is a very close person, but you just can’t see his appearance clearly. When you wake up, you can’t remember who this person is.

The same principle applies to hypnosis. There is no need to change the appearance completely. There is just a vague outline. Under the effect of hypnosis, perhaps it can be mistaken for the real thing.

"This is a good idea, but I'm afraid that if it fails, there will be no way to end it!" Xiaozhi's idea is indeed good, but he is also a little worried.

If I do this, I will be deceiving her, and I don’t know how to explain it if it is exposed.

"Even if she knows, it's better than her continuing to lie to herself, right?" Xiaozhi responded after hearing the voice. Gastly was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Maybe you're right. It's going to be dark soon. I'll take action later." Although ghost-type Pokémon can also act during the day and their strength will not be greatly affected, the night is the real home ground of ghost-type Pokémon.

Gastly didn't expect to encounter such a situation this year, but after thinking about it carefully, it felt that what Xiaozhi said did make sense.

177

After the discussion, Gastly began to make arrangements, but Xiaozhi and the other two did not leave. They also wanted to see the legendary girl's ghost, so they followed Gastly and left. After they left...

Three figures emerged from the bushes nearby.

"See? That Gastly can talk just like Meowth."

"And there's no problem with him fighting Pikachu, he's simply super strong!" If Xiaozhi and the other two were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that they are Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth.

"If you can catch it and hand it over to the boss, you will definitely get a generous bonus, and then you can pay off your debts in one go! You may even be promoted to a cadre!"

Musashi spoke excitedly, imagining the reward after catching Gastly.

"But, I heard there are real ghosts out there, will there be any danger?" Kojiro was a little worried. Listening to their conversation just now, it seemed as if there really was a ghost of a young girl out there.

"You're such a loser, meow!" Meow Meow shook her head helplessly after hearing what Kojiro said.

"Stupid, how can you win the favor of the boss if you are so timid! Hurry up and get ready." Musashi said while holding Kojiro's collar.

Chapter 217: A Play of the Dead Souls (Subscription Request)

As night falls and darkness arrives, Girl's Gorge does not become quiet. Instead, the temple fair is even more lively, with many tourists playing at the fair.

However, at this time, Xiaozhi and others had no time to play, and came to the cliff, where they could see the location of the Girl's Rock in the distance.

"Is that the Girl Rock? It's so beautiful!" When Xiao Gang arrived here, he looked at the location of the Girl Rock and couldn't help blushing just by seeing the stone statue.

Xiaozhi was a little speechless when he saw this. You can even blush in front of a stone statue? I'd like to call you Duan Yu of Nibi City!

"Are you not afraid anymore?" Xiaoxia said with a sidelong look and a look of contempt.

"Well...how could I be scared after hearing such a touching story?"

After hearing this, Xiaogang responded righteously. Although many people are afraid of monsters and demons, it is not that scary if you know this story.

It’s just that the stories made up by Gastly are quite scary, which can easily keep people away from him.

"Okay! Then I'll go ahead." After taking a look at the sky, the moon was covered by clouds. It was a good time, Gastly said to the three of them, and then floated forward.

It flew over the Girl's Rock. At this moment, the soul inside the Girl's Rock was looking straight towards the sea, not paying any attention to the surrounding situation.
