Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

"Gardedoll, use your psychic powers to control the target's movements as soon as it appears."

"And Absol immediately uses the Dark Pulse, understand?"

"Shauna!"

"Solu!"

Ash activates the Battle Ticket from his mind to prepare the Pokémon.

This is a Pokémon that seems destined to appear; I wonder which Pokémon will be the one to appear.

Anyway, he doesn't remember which Ghost-type Pokémon Ash caught in the original story, so he's really looking forward to it.

A teleportation array emitting white light appeared on the open ground.

A moment later, a dark purple figure appeared on the grass.

The fat black man's face displayed the same expression as all the Pokémon that had been teleported there.

I'm totally confused.

"Kou Jie, kou Jie?"

"Great! It's Gengar!"

Ash has been craving the Gengar family for a long time, but unexpectedly, a Gengar has actually appeared.

"Let's do it!"

Gardevoir's psychic powers responded immediately, but this Gengar's reaction speed was quite good.

It actually sank into the ground before the telekinetic attack arrived, turning into a shadow and quickly escaping into the distance.

"Thinking you can just run away like this? You're being too naive!"

Currently, only Gardevoir and Absol are out there.

But Ash had already positioned other Pokémon in various directions just in case.

And the direction Gengar chose to flee from was where Pikachu was lying in ambush.

"Pikachu used its scattered Thunderbolts to block its path!"

Pikachu leaps from the grass, unleashing powerful electric currents that form a net on the ground, almost tearing it apart.

Force Gengar, which is moving at high speed, to stop.

Seeing that its escape route was blocked, Gengar had no choice but to emerge from the shadows once more.

But as soon as it came out, it was blocked by Gardevoir that ran up to it.

"Shauna!"

A red glow emanated from Gardevoir's eyes and spread across Gengar's entire body.

This time, Gardevoir's psychic power finally hit its target, freezing the Gengar, who looked distressed, in mid-air and controlling its movements.

Absol's Dark Pulse followed immediately, and its effect was outstanding!

A massive explosion occurred on Gengar's body.

"Go, Poké Ball!" Ash seized the opportunity and threw the ball, capturing Gengar inside.

After shaking a few times, a thud was heard.

"Alright, I've caught Gengar!"

Excitedly, Ash ran over, picked up Gengar's Poké Ball, and released it.

"Kuji, kuji..."

Gengar looked strange after it came out, and it started breathing on Ash and his friends as soon as they came over.

"Gengar, we're partners from now on. Please take good care of me."

Unexpectedly, Gengar first shook its head frantically, then quickly turned its body to the side, appearing very depressed.

"What's going on?" Ash immediately called Suicune to translate.

"Kuji, kuji..."

Upon seeing that it was Suicune, Gengar immediately began to explain to it with great enthusiasm.

"Hmm, so that means you have a trainer?"

"How could that be? I wouldn't have been able to catch it if there was a trainer involved."

Ash walked up to Gengar and said, "Can you tell me what happened? If you really have an owner, I don't mind sending you back."

Hearing Ash say that, Gengar lowered its guard a little.

“Kou Jie, Kou Jie.”

"What? The trainer said he wants you to help guard an empty house in Vermilion City until he comes back to pick you up..."

Upon hearing this, Suicune tugged at Ash's trouser leg, exchanged a glance with him, and then turned to ask Gengar again.

"How long have you been waiting in the house?"

Gengar held up its chubby little hands and then made a four-shaped gesture.

"Four days?"

“Kou Jie”.

Four years!

This left Suigun speechless. "You must have been abandoned!"

As soon as Suicune spoke, Gengar looked at Ash in shock.

"This is what it means to be abandoned."

It immediately looked at the other Pokémon present, but each of them cast a sympathetic glance at Gengar.

"Kuha, kuha!?"

Gengar covered its ears with its little hands and shook its head repeatedly, looking like it didn't believe it.

"It seems that it won't let go of its obsession until it sees its trainer in person."

After looking at Gengar's stats, Ash understood the likely reason why it was abandoned.

[Ability: Cursed Body (When a Pokémon with this ability is attacked, there is a 30% chance that it will freeze the target, potentially bringing misfortune to the surrounding area.)]

"It will bring bad luck. But that trainer is a real jerk, making Gengar wait there like an idiot for so long."

Ash knelt down to Gengar's eye level and spoke gently.

"Gengar, I'm from the Kanto region. I can take you back to Vermilion City to find a trainer. Stay with me for now."

"If you still want to leave when we find your trainer, I will let you go."

"Kou Jie..."

Although Ash's words were convincing, Gengar still hesitated.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi spoke again.

"This is the Insect Island of the Orange League. Do you know how to get back to Vermilion City?"

With a bitter expression, Gengar stretched out its two little arms and circled them around its head, clearly showing its inner turmoil.

After all, it's a Pokémon that would stay in an empty house for four whole years just to wait for its trainer.

Letting another trainer capture it and having it follow that trainer might make Gengar feel like it's betraying its master.

Ash took out a Poké Ball and broke the capture relationship. "It's okay, I'll take care of you for a while."

"I swear I will help you find your trainer. I will explain to him, and I believe he will not blame you."

Right now, Xiao Zhi is like a minotaur seducing an innocent housewife.

"My wife is only dating me temporarily; it doesn't count as betraying her husband!"

But Ash's actions really touched Gengar.

After hesitating for a moment, Gengar pressed the button in the center of Ash's Poké Ball.

If there are battles during this period, it will help Ash fight.

[Ding! Gengar: Affection +4; Friendship +4]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Finding the Unfaithful Man": Please take Gengar to its former trainer and help Gengar understand why it was abandoned.]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +3000; Free Attribute Points +3; Dyed Fruit (White) Unlocked]

"It seems I'll have to make a trip to Kureha City when I go back to Kanto later."

After treating Gengar, Ash led all his Pokémon deeper into the forest.

Although Ash said it wasn't necessary, Gengar stubbornly came out of the Poké Ball anyway.

Hide in Ash's shadow and offer him protection.

However, it seems it might prefer to chat with Suicune.

"Kou Jie, kou Jie?"

"What? You're asking why you suddenly came here?"

When asked about this, Suicune's face turned serious, and she spoke solemnly to Gengar.

"Actually, it was Arceus, the legendary creator god of the world, who teleported us here!"

Seeing how seriously it was talking, Gengar was completely taken aback.

This is what Ash told it, after all, it was from such a far place as its father's territory.

It silently teleported itself to Ash's side.

Aside from Arceus, Suicune can't think of anyone else who could do such a thing.

All it needs to do now is believe, just believe in Ash!

------------

In the central forest of Insect Island, a bloody "massacre" that no one knew about began.

Corpses lay strewn across the jungle, the air thick with the stench of blood, and severed limbs of Pokémon covered the ground.

A powerful Dou Zong cultivator with a cold expression and exuding a black aura walked through the air.

Lightning roared wherever his gaze fell, and every tribe was slaughtered equally by the unparalleled divine weapon in his hand, the "Salted Fish Twin Swords".

After today, there may be no more islands of insects!

(Xiao Zhi: Don't frame me, it's not that exaggerated!)

Ash did defeat many Bug-type Pokémon, but he always healed them after defeating them.

Even though it was a cheap one bought from the Pokémon Center, I couldn't bear to spend the money on something expensive.

But there are absolutely no severed limbs or missing arms.

His stern expression was also due to his distress; Ash's current flight ability only allows him to float at a low altitude of 20 centimeters above the ground.

Not only is it slow, but it also doesn't last long.

At most, you can only use your feet to assist during takeoff to increase initial speed and travel distance.

"Sigh, when will I be able to fulfill my dream of soaring through the skies with Groudon?"

I don't know if it's because of Gengar, or if there are just too many Pokémon on Bug Island.

Ash encountered eight large groups of insect Pokémon in a short period of time.

Often, you accidentally step on a stone, and the pebble flies into the grass and hits a large bee.

This attracted a large swarm of bee bees.

If this really is the effect of Gengar's curse... "That's wonderful!"

This is just an automatic monster attractor!

A normal person would just cry bad luck in this situation, but Xiao Zhi would laugh excitedly.

Then command your Pokémon to attack immediately!
