I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

——He can go, but the most important thing is that he can’t just leave Ye Zi alone.

"Really?" Hearing Yang Xiying say this, Ye Zi felt more confident. After all, his master knew a lot.

"——Then let's prepare now!"

"Well, Ye Zi, go to the supermarket and see if there are any glutinous rice salt," Yang Xiying nodded, and then began to ask Ye Zi to prepare some things.

"——Buy some red ropes by the way."

"I'll go prepare the grapefruit leaves, willow branches, and pot ash, and see if there's a chance to get some Houndoom or Dalubi's blood."

"Eh?" Hearing Yang Xiying say this, Ye Zi was also surprised, "Master, can you also exorcise ghosts?"

Ye Zi is a movie fan, so when she heard Yang Xiying say this, she instantly had a sense of déjà vu.

Isn't this the exorcism routine used in the Yan country movies I've seen before? Thinking of this, Ye Zi suddenly respected it.

The master is indeed from Yan Country...

"...I will use this Dragon King Mountain Breaking Sword to protect you."

Yang Xiying put on a stern face and took out the wooden sword that he had carved from a peach tree branch when he lived in Zhenxin Town and spoke slowly. He really didn't know how to exorcise ghosts.

I prepared these items simply to give myself peace of mind. After all, this is Lavender Town, the final resting place of most human Pokémon in the Kanto region after their death.

With too much yin energy, all kinds of strange things are bound to occur. The ghost-attribute Pokémon alone are enough to give people a headache.

Don’t be fooled by the cute descriptions of them in the anime, especially Gengar, this thing can really take your life.

Anyway, the ghost attribute is an attribute that can make most people feel uneasy, even Yang Xiying who raised the Blue Flame Blade Ghost and the Abandoned Monkey.

Although he has brute force and is judged to have evil attributes, he is allowed to go to Ziyuan Town, especially when strange things start to happen in Ziyuan Town.

Well, it’s better to make more preparations and use all the ghost-exorcism methods you can think of, regardless of whether they work or not.

At least you have to pretend that you can handle those things in front of Ye Zi. It would not be a good thing to lose confidence at the beginning.

"...I understand. See you later, Master!" Hearing Yang Xiying say this, Ye Zi nodded and rushed to the supermarket.

"Well, see you later."

The two of them made preparations separately, and in less than an hour, they met at the agreed location.

"Master, you can really get Houndoom's blood..."

After they reunited, Ye Zi couldn't help but speak when she saw the glass container of blood in Yang Xiying's hand.

"Well, it's a pity that there are no strong male chickens in the Kanto area," Yang Xiying nodded. He asked Leisa Yuhui for the blood.

Starting from Deep Gray City, they followed the orders from above and paid attention to their movements, so when they arrived in Golden Yellow City, the other side also followed them.

——It’s a pity that even though Ye Zi was around, he didn’t have much chance to reminisce with her.

"But this is enough," Yang Xiying then changed the subject, "Let's set off now and try to reach Ziyuan Town before evening."

"Yes!"

The two people also summoned their respective flying Pokémon, Ye Zi was Togekiss and Yang Xiying was Zubat.

After staying in Cerulean City for a month, although Zubat has not evolved yet, it can now carry me flying for a distance.

——The two of them headed towards Ziyuan Town!

PS: Updated, the next update will be in the second half of the night.

PS: Re-watching Summer Rhapsody and feeling like I’m back in summer vacation made me cry!

NO.182 The Pokémon House in Lavender Town!

"I don't feel anything..."

In the evening, they arrived at the Ziyuan Town checkpoint. Ye Zi and Yang Xiying began to go through the customs formalities, and the process went smoothly.

So much so that Ye Zi felt something was wrong. After all, she and her master had heard that Ziyuan Town was haunted.

So when I came here, shouldn't Ziyuan Town have become a deserted ghost town? Why are there still people here?

However, just as he asked the question, he saw the master put his finger in front of his mouth to signal him to be quiet, so Ye Zi stopped talking.

[It is a bit arbitrary to say that Ziyuan Town is abnormal now, because there is not enough evidence, so we will pretend to be tourists who know nothing. 】

At this moment, Yang Xiying took out her mobile phone and typed a message to Ye Zi. Although she had heard rumors that Ziyuan Town was haunted, the task issued by the system seemed serious.

But we can't just pretend that Ziyuan Town is haunted. If someone here is pretending, it will undoubtedly alert the enemy.

[Oh, I see. Let’s go to the Pokémon Center now to find a place to stay.] After seeing Yang Xiying’s message, Ye Zi replied directly.

She could understand what Yang Xiying meant. Now she just needed to use her eyes and ears to wait for the ghost to reveal its true form.

"Yes," Yang Xiying nodded. He was very pleased with Ye Zi's understanding. "Let's go to the Pokémon Center now."

The two also headed towards the interior of the town. Ziyuan Town was a quiet town located at the foot of the mountain, with even fewer houses than Pallet Town.

Even though there is a Pokémon Center, it is still much smaller than an ordinary city. When they arrived here, Yang Xiying and Ye Zi went through the check-in procedures.

"Excuse me Miss Joy, where is Miss Naz right now?"

Then, Ye Zi also asked about Miss Nancy's whereabouts. Nancy's resting place after work was the Pokémon Center.

——So it’s easy to get an answer when asking about work news here.

"Oh, you mean Miss Nazi. She is currently doing the soul-soothing work in the Anling Tower," Miss Joy was startled for a moment before she responded.

"And I said not to look for her until this is over. But today should be the last day, so if you have something to do."

"Just stay here for one night," she said with a smile, and Ye Zi smiled back and bowed, "I see, thank you."

"You are welcome."

After a brief greeting, Yang Xiying and Ye Zi walked towards their accommodation, and on the way Yang Xiying began to rely on the power of the Cang Yan Blade Ghost.

[Let’s talk outside if you have anything to say.] Yang Xiying’s voice entered Ye Zi’s mind, and he could feel that Ye Zi suddenly seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Yeah," Yang Xiying's voice came into her mind. She had seen it before. All psychic-attribute ghost-type Pokémon could do this.

——It’s a pity that her family can’t do this yet.

The two of them found a room, and because they were worried about unnecessary trouble, Yang Xiying arranged for an adjacent room this time.

However, they did not stay in the room for long and left the Pokémon Center directly because they all found something wrong.

[Tell me what you want to say, Ye Zi. Well, you just need to form your own words in your mind.]

Walking on the street, Yang Xiying also started chatting with Ye Zi, but she was using the power of the Cang Yan Blade Ghost to transmit her thoughts into his mind.

[Okay, I've met Miss Joy before, but this time she acted as if she was meeting me for the first time.]

[Also, when I mentioned Miss Nazi, her expression was somewhat unnatural, which was quite strange.]

[Could it be that she is someone else pretending to be Miss Joy?! After all, I also feel that her aura is a bit chaotic. ]

[Her scent is indeed unusual, as if it is stained with dirt.] Yang Xiying nodded. He also felt that something was wrong with Joey.

What's even more wrong is this Pokémon Center. There are too few people, even though Lavender Town is a place most people are reluctant to visit.

Then there is the topic of discussion, which seems to be forced into a role, and there are indeed some problems with this part.

[Should we go to the Anling Pagoda now? ] Ye Zi couldn't help but ask, and Yang Xiying shook her head in response.

[We have been targeted. There is a ghostly aura filled with malicious intent not far behind us. Going there now would only alert the enemy.]

So what should we do?

[Wait,] Yang Xiying responded, [Wait until they show themselves. We won’t wait too long.]

[Since there is a problem in Ziyuan Town, then the words of the superpowers who escaped to Jinhuang City do have a certain degree of credibility. ]

[…So more people will come to investigate next?] Hearing Yang Xiying say this, Ye Zi also thought of something.

[That’s right, the guys hiding in the dark will definitely not be able to sit still. If they are ghosts, they might take action tonight.]

[…Even if we don’t take action, we still have to investigate. So, we have to stay up late tonight. Can you hold on? ]

Yang Xiying nodded, and then asked about Ye Zi's condition, and the girl responded very energetically.

[Of course! But we should find a place to stay before night falls.] She then changed the subject.

[From what you said, it seems that there are places to stay other than the Pokémon Center? ] Seeing Ye Zi's excited look, Yang Xiying was stunned.

"Yes, there is still a fun place in Ziyuan Town," Ye Zi responded with a smile and began to play the role of a senior traveler.

"—we can go there."

"Oh?" Yang Xiying nodded subconsciously, and at the same time became curious about the place Ye Zi mentioned.

"Pokémon Home?"

Following Ye Zi to the fun place he mentioned, Yang Xiying was also stunned. They were now in front of the courtyard of a villa.

At the door, Yang Xiying saw a sign that said "Pokémon House", and he remembered something.

There is such a facility in Lavender Town in the Pokémon game, which specializes in taking in and caring for abandoned and homeless Pokémon.

——The owner of the house is called Mr. Fuji.

"That's right," Leaf nodded in response, "There are a lot of Pokémon here, so it's the most lively place in Lavender Town."

“——We can also stay here.”

"Eh? Isn't this Miss Ye?" At this time, the two guards at the gate of the courtyard also noticed Yang Xiying and Ye Zi.

——But I still greeted acquaintances first.

"Long time no see, brothers. Could my master and I please stay with you for a while?" Ye Zi also greeted them politely at this moment.

"Master?" After hearing Ye Zi's words, the two guards turned their attention to Yang Xiying. They looked at her for a while, then nodded and spoke with a smile.

"Ye Zi, you are our honored guest, so we will also welcome people you approve of. It's getting late now, so come in and have a seat."

The two of them let Yang Xiying and Ye Zi pass, and Yang Xiying still said hello to the other side before entering.

"... Ye Zi, you have quite a wide network of contacts," Yang Xiying couldn't help but speak after entering and walking in the beautifully decorated courtyard.

PS: Update!

NO.183+184 The reincarnated boy Yang Xiying!

"Hehe, it's okay," Ye Zi responded with a smile after hearing Yang Xiying's words, "I just helped the owner here last time."

At the beginning of last month, Mr. Fuji was targeted by the Rockets because he used to be a scientist.

He specializes in studying legendary Pokémon and I heard that he even used the DNA of legendary Pokémon to create a new Pokémon.

That Pokémon possesses extremely powerful powers, so it is coveted by Team Rocket, so much so that they go to its creator to obtain information about it.

——However, he and Miss Nancy arrived in time and helped drive away Team Rocket.

"Wow, Ye Zi didn't just help me, she saved my life."

When the girl finished speaking, an old voice was heard from afar. When she turned her head, she found that it was a bald old man in his sixties or seventies.

However, he could hear the conversation between Yang Xiying and Ye Zi from a distance of nearly 100 meters, which showed his good hearing. There was also a Pikachu sitting on the shoulder of the person opposite him.

——He is an old man with vigor and vitality.

"Ah...! Good evening, Grandpa Fuji," Ye Zi ran over to greet the other party, and the other party responded with a smile.

"Good evening, Ye Zi. I wonder what brings you here. And who is the gentleman next to you?"

He also noticed Yang Xiying who was slowly walking towards him, and saw that his eyes, which had been narrowed, had widened a little, as if he was surprised.

"He is the master I mentioned to you before, Yang Xiying. He is also collecting Kanto Gym badges. He came to Ziyuan Town to look for Miss Nazi."

Ye Zi also began to introduce Yang Xiying. When old man Fuji seemed to be thinking about something, Yang Xiying also introduced herself.

"Hello, my name is Yang Xiying, a Pokémon trainer from Yan Country. Since I taught Ye Zi some knowledge, I can be considered her teacher."

"Oh, you are the teacher that Ye Zi mentioned who taught her about Pokémon battles. Haha, you are indeed a handsome man."

Old man Fuji's eyes narrowed again, revealing a kind expression that he had heard before when he praised Leaf for her knowledge of Pokémon.
