Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

The first floor of the Bell Tower is a large hall with no cover, so the Gastly that was just KO'd by Gardevoir must be all the Ghost-type Pokémon on the first floor.

Check your backpack; as the prompt indicated, you've added a Spirit Cloth.

The Spirit Cloth is an evolution item used by Wandering Night Spirits to evolve into Night Demons. It's considered relatively rare among evolution items. However, it's useless to Nanfeng. He doesn't have a Wandering Night Spirit, nor does he plan to raise a Night Demon, so he'll probably sell it sometime.

You can see the staircase leading to the second floor from the corner.

Nanfeng threw out two Poké Balls, sending out Greninja and Blaziken.

The only advantage of real people entering the dungeon is that they can release their own spirits without limit.

Greninja and Blaziken, each carrying a ball of light, walked up to the second floor to clear a path for Nanfeng.

Nanfeng walked up the stairs, and Greninja and Flame-class Pokémon that had reached the second floor first had already started fighting on the second floor.

It's just that some things end quickly.

By the time Nanfeng reached the second floor, the battle was already over.

A series of prompts popped up in front of Nanfeng's eyes.

[Defeat Gastly LV20, Greninja gains 250 experience]

[Defeat the LV20 Shadow Doll; Blaziken gains 331 experience points]

...

The dissipated ghostly aura coalesced into an item, granting the "Exquisite Headband" (reward).

[Hint: The ghostly aura on the second floor seems to have weakened; you can now proceed to the third floor!]

"The Ghost-type Pokémon on the second floor is level 20?" This made Nanfeng keep thinking. Could it be that the Pokémon he encountered on the third floor were level 30, and the Pokémon he encountered on the fourth floor were level 40?

Following this logic, the spirit you encounter on the ninth floor will be a level 90 being.

Nanfeng suddenly became interested.

If there really is a level 90 Ghost-type Pokémon on the ninth floor, then if I defeat it and capture it, wouldn't that be the same as having a level 90 Ghost-type Pokémon? I could even skip the training process.

Nanfeng just tried it; the Pokémon he defeated in the Bell Tower can also be captured.

Of course, I definitely can't beat the level 90 Pokémon on the ninth floor right now. I might even struggle against the level 80 Pokémon on the eighth floor.

But what about the level 70 Ghost-type Pokémon on the seventh floor, and the level 60 Ghost-type Pokémon on the sixth floor?

Even if we can't beat them, we have to give it a try!

A southerly wind is stirring...

Immediately look for the stairs leading to the upper floor.

The second floor of the Bell Tower was completely different from the first. Rows of half-human-sized tombstones were neatly arranged, all of them belonging to dead elves. A gloomy atmosphere permeated the air, even though a flash of light made the place exceptionally bright.

As Nanfeng had previously learned.

Bell Tower is the place where Pokémon sleep, or are buried!

It's not surprising that there are tombstones here, and that's why there are Ghost-type Pokémon.

However, Nanfeng was still a little curious.

Why are elves buried in a tower instead of in the wild after they die?

Is it convenient for trainers to visit and remember their loved ones?

Nanfeng suddenly remembered Lavender Town in the Kanto region, where there was also a Pokémon Tower, which, like the Bell Tower, buried countless trainers' beloved Pokémon that had died.

For example, in the manga, Shigeru's Rattata...

(A lifelong pain)

Looking around the second floor, there was nothing missing. Nanfeng passed each target and walked up to the third floor.

Greninja and Blaziken still led the way.

The battle was still ongoing when the south wind came in.

The appearing sprite was indeed level 30.

However, the Gastly that appeared on the third floor had already evolved into Haunter.

A few dredis also appeared.

The strength of the Pokémon has been increased to a certain extent.

0.7 but still no threat to Greninja and Blaziken.

In one minute, the third floor was completely cleared out.

The dissipated ghostly energy coalesced into an item, granting the "Ghost Gem" (reward).

[Hint: The ghostly aura on the third floor seems to have weakened; you can now proceed to the fourth floor!]

Nanfeng picked up the ghost gem to examine it; it was already a treasure-level ghost gem.

This reward is quite good.

If the third level is of the treasure level, then the fifth level must be of the secret treasure level.

Putting away the Ghost Gem, the South Wind continued its upward advance.

(Back when I was playing Let's Go! Pikachu, I was farming Gastly in the Pokémon Tower in Ziwan Town. I got over 1000 combos twice, but I didn't get one all afternoon. Then I saw someone selling a shiny Mewtwo on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace), and I immediately felt it wasn't worth playing anymore.)

171. Sixth floor, Haunter

The sixth floor of the Bell Tower.

The fifth and fourth floors posed no challenge for Nanfeng. After cleaning the floors, he was given a treasure-level aura belt and a soothing bell, respectively.

Upon entering the sixth level, the number of elven tombstones decreases.

There were only three or four scattered ones.

There are even fewer Pokémon here, only one Haunter.

It is much larger than a regular Haunter, but not quite a dominant Pokémon; it resembles a "boss" Pokémon that has appeared in the Greenland region. Its peculiarity doesn't stop there; it wears bracelets made of eerie, blood-red runes on its two ghostly claws.

The level above his head reads: LV60!

"A level 60 Gastly?" Nanfeng was surprised; there weren't many Gastlys of this level that hadn't evolved yet.

On the fifth floor, Nanfeng already encountered Gengar.

Upon seeing the South Wind, Gastly's eyes immediately glowed with a faint, smoky black aura.

Instantly, Nanfeng's body was enveloped in a layer of black light.

However, they were not harmed.

"A black gaze?" Nanfeng was surprised. "Is this because they were afraid I would run away, so 17 started by giving me a black gaze?"

"You're very brave!"

It's not just Southwind; it's also found on Greninja, Blaziken, and Gardevoir.

"Hiss~" Gastly took a deep breath, sucking back the saliva that had just flowed out, and then its ghostly figure rushed towards Southwind.

It's obvious that it's been hungry for a long time!

I can't wait to eat!

"You're the first Ghost-type Pokémon to dare to charge straight at us!" Nanfeng laughed. On the way here, even those level 50 Gengars didn't dare to charge at us immediately. How dare this Gastly?

"Flame Kick!" Nanfeng commanded.

Blaziken strode forward and unleashed a dazzling, bright fire kick at Gastly, which charged at it, striking it squarely in the face.

With a loud "bang," it sounded like glass shattering.

The protective shield on Gastly's body shattered instantly, having absorbed the Flame Kick for its main body.

"barrier?"

That's a rare skill.

However, a barrier is not very effective against Blaziken. If one kick is blocked, just kick it again.

Flaming Double Kick + Powerful Strike.

Four stages of damage.

Gastly was hit squarely by the second Flame Kick, sending it flying through the air before exploding in two bursts.

It deals damage in three stages, but unfortunately, the attack is a Fighting-type move and is ineffective against Ghost-type Gastly.

Pressing their advantage, Greninja raised its hand and threw a Water Shuriken!

Gardevoir followed up with a Psychic attack.

Surprisingly, Gastly did not lose its ability to fight.

Then...then Nanfeng saw Gastly running away with its head in its hands on the sixth floor of the Bell Tower.

Nanfeng silently typed a question mark.

This Gastly doesn't seem very bright. When attacked, it doesn't know how to retaliate or dodge; it just runs around aimlessly...

He was really looking forward to encountering a powerful Ghost-type Pokémon.

After all, Nanfeng might not be a match for the level 70 spirit on the seventh floor.

The sixth layer consists of Pokémon that I captured and can temporarily serve as Ghost-type attackers.

I never expected it to be this kind of trash.

Gastly, who was running away with its head in its hands, was beaten up by the three Pokémon from Southwind and soon collapsed.

[Defeat Gastly LV60, Blaziken gains 12023 experience points]

.

The dissipated ghostly aura coalesced into an item, granting the "Cursed Symbol" (reward).

[Hint: The ghostly aura on the sixth floor seems to have weakened; you can now proceed to the seventh floor!]

"This level is much simpler than the previous ones," Nanfeng thought, suspecting that this Gastly was just there to make people laugh.

A white talisman fell into Nanfeng's hand.

Judging from its attributes, it's definitely a treasure-level item.

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

Ghost moves already deal double damage to Ghost-type Pokémon, and if you equip this item on top of that, wow, any Ghost-type Pokémon can become a Ghost nemesis!

Alright, I've acquired another item that I'm currently using.

He looked down at the unconscious Gastly.

Nanfeng thought for a moment and then threw out the Poké Ball. Although this Gastly wasn't very smart, it was still level 60. He'd catch it and then give it to Professor Birch.

I have no idea how it leveled up to 60 in a place like this.

The Poké Ball blinked, and Haunter was easily captured by Southwind.

Upon picking it up and examining it, Nanfeng was somewhat amazed by the device's interface.

【Ghost (Phantom, Poison)】(Boss) (Sealed) (Ancient)

[Item: Gastly Barrier]

"The name has three suffixes?"

Among the suffixes of elf names, Nanfeng has only seen two: "Shining" and "Overlord".

The Gastly in front of me suddenly had three suffixes, none of which I had ever seen before.

(Leader) (Seal) (Ancient)
