Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

As Nanfeng walked along the main road of Qiantang University, students passing by greeted him, and many even came up to ask for his autograph or a photo.

Nanfeng agreed.

There's no rush today, and besides, the hype surrounding me has died down.

The younger students around me were enthusiastic, not fanatical.

The southerly winds are acceptable.

They strolled leisurely to the principal's office.

"teacher"

Bai Wenru is standing in front of the table practicing calligraphy.

"Hmm, you're here? Sit down, let me finish writing first," Bai Wenru said without looking up.

Nanfeng sat down on the sofa and waited while looking at her phone.

"Has your Haunter evolved?" Bai Wenru asked casually as he wrote.

"Not yet," Nanfeng replied.

"What? Still can't break the spell ring? Or are you not going to let it evolve?"

"No, I've been busy cultivating lately, so I forgot to evolve it," Nanfeng said honestly. He already possessed the strength of a Champion and was ready to challenge a Champion at any time. Defeating a Gengar that might have the strength of a Champion would not be difficult.

I was either farming Pokémon dens or training my Aura powers, and I completely forgot about Gastly.

"Then evolve Gastly first and come find me. I'll give you something good then," Bai Wenru said.

"Good stuff?" Nanfeng remembered the good stuff his teacher had given him last time.

The legendary "soothing bell"!

The teacher didn't even say that this thing was a good thing.

I'm sure the teacher can come up with something even better than the comfort bell this time.

"Then I'll go evolve Gastly right now!" Nanfeng immediately jumped up from his seat.

As soon as he stepped out of the principal's office, Nanfeng took out Gardevoir.

First, he teleported to the port of Qiantang University, then teleported to the seaside villa on Trial Island No. 7, which was the villa he had lived in before.

No one is using this place yet. If you're staying at school today, you can stay here, but you'll need to clean it up a bit.

Take out the Poké Ball and release Haunter.

"Kou-jie~" Gastly jumped out and delivered a "lick".

But this time, the south wind avoided it.

"Stop joking around! We have serious business to attend to today!" Nanfeng said solemnly.

"What is it?" Gastly tilted its head.

"Let you evolve" Nanfeng has already started collecting Ghost-type Pokémon items.

I had previously consulted with senior Dong Yan and learned that Gastly could not evolve because of the charm ring on its body. The charm ring has the function of suppressing strength and sealing off violence.

Once the curse ring on Gastly is broken, its strength and personality will quickly recover. The specific method is to let it consume a large number of Ghost-type Pokémon items at once, allowing it to break through the curse ring from the inside out using its own power.

In return, senior student Dong Yan gifted him a rare "ghost gem".

Melt Ghost Gem: When using a Ghost-type move, increases the power of this attack by 70%. Ignores damage dealt to Pokémon of a lower level and lowers their Special Defense by 2 stages. Ignores damage dealt to Pokémon of a higher level and lowers their Special Defense by 1 stage. Can be recharged and reused.

Nanfeng was also deliberately preparing Ghost-type Pokémon items. Both Treasure-grade and Secret Treasure-grade items were available.

The main problem is that there aren't any other Ghost-type Pokémon available.

Nanfeng prepared three Ghostly Items of the Secret Treasure level, all of which came from various dungeons that occur once a month.

Armor of the Spirit Realm: Allows certain Pokémon to evolve, increasing Special Defense by 20% and Ghost Resistance by 20%.

Dark Stone of Evil: Allows certain Pokémon to evolve, increases the power of Ghost and Dark-type moves by 10%, and inflicts the Flinch effect on Ghost and Dark-type moves.

Piercing Curse Symbol: Increases the power of Ghost-type moves by 40% and ignores 50% of the effects of defensive moves.

Armor of the Spirit Realm and Evil Spirit of Darkness are evolution items, but because they are items that can evolve Ghost-type Pokémon, they are also considered Ghost-type Pokémon items.

Nanfeng consulted with senior student Dong Yan, and it was said that it could be used to feed Gastly.

The three ghost-attribute items, plus the ghost gem given by Senior Dong Yan, plus the secret treasure that Nan Feng had given Gastly to absorb a long time ago.

Purification/Curse Symbol: Increases the power of Ghost-type moves by 40% and deals an additional 50% damage to Ghost-type Pokémon.

It actually takes five Ghost-type items to evolve Gastly into Gengar.

That should be enough for Gastly to break through the rings around its body.

"Open your mouth," Southwind said to Gastly.

Gastly obediently opened its mouth.

Nanfeng immediately placed four items—Armor of the Spirit Realm, Evil Spirit of Darkness, Piercing Curse Talisman, and Dissolving Ghost Gem—into its mouth one by one. There were also twenty or thirty other treasure-level ghost-attribute spirit items.

"Eat them!"

Gastly obediently closed its mouth and swallowed!

Although... it seems to have no stomach, only a mouth, it's impossible to know how it digests what it eats.

However, Nanfeng can now see that Gastly is radiating ghostly energy like flames all over its body.

A loud bang, like chains shattering, rang out.

The golden rune rings on Gastly's two arms snapped in the middle, and in an instant, its body was shrouded in blackness, with a pair of eyes emitting a scarlet light appearing and disappearing within!

348. The King's Appearance

When the black ghost-attribute energy stream was torn apart, what appeared in front of Nanfeng was a chubby little purple boy with a wide grin, revealing big white teeth, and his eyes were full of scarlet.

The golden mark left by the broken talisman ring still remained on its arm. This mark had penetrated deep into its body, like a golden bracelet on its wrist.

"Gengar!! (My power! It's all back!)" Gengar roared.

Then there is no more.

Around Gengar.

Mega Gardevoir, Greninja of the South Wind type, Mega Garchomp, Mega Blaziken, Mega Tyranitar, and Mega Gyarados are surrounding it from six directions.

Nanfeng spared no effort in expending a lot of energy to release the six Pokémon during their evolution, and all of them underwent MEGA-evolution.

To prevent Gengar from reverting to its violent nature and going berserk after the charm ring is removed.

Moved?

All the elves: *stare*

Gengar: I dare not move! I dare not move! ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3

The chubby little purple creature floated shyly in mid-air, looking at Nanfeng with a fawning expression.

"Didn't they say that after the charm ring is removed, it will revert to its previous violent nature?" Nanfeng looked at Gengar, but couldn't see where this Gengar had become violent.

"Kou Jie~ (My loyalty to my boss is as clear as day and night!)" Gengar quickly declared his loyalty.

"That's good," Nanfeng nodded in satisfaction, taking out his handheld console to check the strength of the evolved Gengar.

【Item Carried: Stealth Barrier (★★)】

"King?" Nanfeng's pupils suddenly contracted when he saw this suffix.

Previously, Haunter had three suffixes: Boss, Sealed, and Ancient.

Now that the seal has been broken, both the "boss" and "seal" suffixes have disappeared. Nanfeng can understand the disappearance of the "seal" suffix, since the talisman ring was broken, but the "boss" suffix has changed to "king."

king.....

This reminded Nanfeng of a special region.

The Sinnoh region! More accurately, the ancient Sinnoh region!

In the game's setting, Shire is the ancient Sinnoh region from two thousand years ago.

In that era, an ancient hero and ten Pokémon from the Land of Green received the blessing of Arceus. These ten Pokémon protected the Land of Green, and the people of Green called them "Kings"! If the Pokémon were female, they would be Queens!

"Gengar is the king?" Nanfeng rubbed his chin, somewhat doubting his own guess.

When he played the game before, he only saw five kings, and Gengar was not among them.

Could it be that Gengar is one of the other five kings that have never appeared?

But the place where I caught Gengar was in the Bell Tower in the Johto region... The ancient Sinnoh king was sealed in the Bell Tower in the Johto region?

Ah...

Nanfeng shook his head slightly, ceasing his imagination.

Since Gengar's origins are unknown, there's no need to investigate them. Just look at the attributes shown on the panel to see what they bring.

The title of "King" gives Gengar a unique characteristic.

King's Appearance: Gain additional bonuses when stamina is at 75%, 50%, and 25%.

Nanfeng is still unaware of the specific ability bonuses, but that doesn't stop him from testing them.

"Gengar, let's have a battle with Gardevoir!"

"Stand still and do not resist."

Gengar:? ? ?

You call not moving and not resisting a battle?

Why don't you just tell me to obediently take the beating?

Gengar obediently followed orders.

Southwind deactivated Gardevoir's Mega Evolution and then had it attack with the Fairy-type move "Dazzling Gleam".

Gengar is resistant to Fairy-type moves, taking only half the damage. It also has good Special Defense and is 6 levels higher than Gardevoir, so it can easily withstand the attacks.

· ······Requesting 0 flowers ········

Through the handheld console, Nanfeng saw that Gengar's HP had decreased by 13%.

"Again!"

When Gengar's HP dropped to 75%, Southwind saw that the "King's Appearance" ability was activated.

Golden light spread from the shattered rune rings on Gengar's hands, turning the chubby purple creature into a purplish-gold color.

And it has one more status.

King's Appearance (75%): Increases all stats by 10%, and increases the power of Ghost and Poison type moves by 10%.

"Oh ho!" Nanfeng's eyes lit up.

Increase attributes and boost the power of moves! This is the most practical effect.

Although the improvement is small, this is only the first stage!

. ... 0

Nanfeng is starting to expect 50% and 25%.

Continue letting Gardevoir attack.

Soon, Gengar's HP dropped below 50%, its purple-gold body turned into a golden body, radiating a dazzling light, and its status changed accordingly.

King's Appearance (50%): Increases all stats by 20%, increases the power of Ghost and Poison moves by 20%, and automatically activates the "Ghost Mask" move.

It increases all attributes and move power by 10%, and also automatically activates a "Demon Mask" move that reduces the opponent's speed.
