Chapter 45 The owner of the lost item, Prantina!
After joining the team, Lin Ye had Gastly demonstrate its strength, and the latter readily showed off all the moves it knew:
Hypnosis, Strange Light, Licking Tongue, Black Gaze, An Eye for an Eye, Resentment, Curse, Misfortune Never Comes Alone, Strange Light, Terrifying Face, Night Demon Shadow, Acid Bomb, Shadow Ball, Deadly Poison, Venom Impact, Song of the End!
"Wow, what a variety! There's so much to be done!" Lin Ye exclaimed after looking through it all.
This Gastly doesn't look very old, but the energy it exudes is already comparable to that of Zorua, which I've strengthened several times, and it's very close to the peak of "Excellent".
Furthermore, don't be fooled by how easily Zorua beat it before.
The result of Zoroah's attribute advantage and the information asymmetry.
If they were to fight again now, even though Gastly would still be at a type disadvantage, the outcome would be uncertain given their use of Poison-type moves.
Not to mention, Gastly has two more opportunities to evolve, as well as the possibility of Mega Evolution, making its future truly promising.
Having gained a formidable ally and incidentally merged with the "Ghost Path" of Shuijing City, Lin Ye was in high spirits. He led the four ghosts away from the abandoned building and then proposed:
"Let's go, let's find a place to celebrate and relax. Is there anywhere you guys want to go?"
"I'm happy wherever I am with my master!"
"agree!"
Zoroa and the Snow Maiden expressed their opinions one after the other, while the Lone Sword Sheath said with disappointment:
"You haven't relaxed enough. How can we, who are here to do great things, indulge in pleasure? If you ask me, we should go back to special training."
"Hehehe~, you three guys are so boring! The boss used to live with you guys and it was pretty dull too!"
Come with me, Gastly, I'll take you somewhere to have some fun!
"What are you looking at? I came here on a luxury cruise ship, so I've seen it all. Come with me, you won't regret it."
The three ghosts and one human looked at Gastly with suspicion, and the latter sighed helplessly:
"Sigh, forget it. I doubt you guys would have a good time even if I took you to the places I'm supposed to go. How about we just grab some ice cream? That's not too much to ask, is it?"
"This is good!"
"Can!"
Lin Ye, Zoroya, and the Snow Fairy agreed, but Dujian Sheath looked blank and said:
"What is ice cream~~"
…………
"Oh my god! This is ice cream! It's so delicious!"
Dujianshe took a bite of ice cream, and then tears streamed down his face!
"No way! Brother Jian! I know you were from ancient times in your previous life, and this is probably your first time eating ice cream, but you don't need to be this moved!"
"I was just thinking that my emperor died too young, it's a pity he didn't get to eat such good food."
"Is it possible that if your emperor had lived any longer, he might have been sent to the gallows by the revolutionary army?"
By then, he'll be completely bewildered, let alone be able to eat ice cream!
Zoroya was also eating ice cream for the first time. The little fox, disguised as a demon, lay on the ground and tentatively licked the strange, chilling food in front of him.
The next moment, the little fox shivered, and when it opened its squinted eyes again, it looked delighted and immediately began licking even faster.
The Snow Fairy was somewhat dissatisfied that the ice cream wasn't cold enough, so she picked one up and blew a breath of cold air at it, freezing it solid before finally putting it in her mouth with satisfaction.
The most exaggerated one is Gastly. It has no hands or feet, but it eats ice cream with an efficiency that is hard for ordinary people to match.
He ordered a whole table of thirty-seven different flavors of ice cream, and then ate them one after another, big and big!
Lin Ye was speechless. Regardless of whether Gastly could eat it, they had only met for the first time, and this guy had the nerve to make him spend so much money without even a hint of guilt. He was indeed a born evil brat.
If I hadn't sold some burial goods at Shui Jing Department Store earlier, the boss would probably have kept them all today.
Gastly's behavior naturally attracted the attention of other customers in the ice cream shop, who all took out their phones to record this naturally evil glutton.
Even many passersby and tourists on the street were attracted by Gastly's appetite and stopped to take pictures.
But suddenly, someone rushed up from among the onlookers and tried to hug Gastly.
Lin Ye's mental energy had already scanned the other party, but there was no killing intent in the other party, so he didn't react much.
On the contrary, Gastly, upon sensing the presence of the newcomer, experienced a reactive surge of gas from its body, then nimbly leaped backward, dodging the embrace.
At this moment, Lin Ye looked at the "attacker" who rushed forward and found that she was actually a very cute girl.
The unfamiliar young woman was wearing a simple sleeveless mini dress, had long, straight black hair, and was wearing a hat that looked somewhat familiar.
"Who are you?"
The girl then realized what was happening, politely performed an ancient ritual for Lin Ye, and said methodically:
"Hello, my name is Plantina, and I'm from Sinnoh! This Gastly is my Pokémon. It went missing a few days ago. Have you been taking care of it?"
"Plantina! The eldest daughter of the ancient Sinnoh family—the Berriet family! Isn't that Dawn's identity and appearance in the special episode from the original work?"
Lin Ye looked her up and down and found that the girl looked about the same age as Qianli Yao, and her looks and figure were in no way inferior to hers!
Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh, wondering why all the rich girls in the Pokémon world were so good-looking. Could it be that there was some mysterious mechanism that linked looks and wealth together?
Although he knew that Prantina was a heiress from a wealthy family, Lin Ye still asked in a humble yet assertive manner:
"You say he's your Gastly? What's your basis for that?"
"Oh, right, here's its Poké Ball. I can take it back right now."
Seeing Xiao Guang take out a familiar deluxe ball, Gui Dun immediately bristled like a cat with its fur standing on end, its ghostly aura rising abruptly, and it circled around to hide behind Lin Ye.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Guang's initial excitement was instantly replaced by sadness, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
"Oh yeah~, Gastly left me on its own. It must be because it doesn't like me. Looks like I'm really a terrible trainer!"
"Don't say that. Maybe it's because you two are incompatible, or you don't understand it well enough, that's why there's a misunderstanding."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah~, this girl is so stubborn. She lectures me every day, spouting nonsense about love and bonds. She doesn't understand me at all." Gastly's voice echoed in Lin Ye's mind.
At this moment, Plantina spoke in a somber voice: "I had thought before that if Gastly really found a life it liked, or met a trainer it liked, I would wish it well."
However, this child's situation is somewhat special; it is too naughty and often does some outrageous things.
So I've always worried that if no one's watching it, it might do something to harm others, or be exploited by other unscrupulous people, ultimately harming both itself and others.
"Hey, see? She knows you pretty well!"
Lin Ye sent a telepathic message to Gastly, but then heard Plantina continue speaking:
"But I believe that the child is kind by nature, but is just too young and doesn't understand."
"As long as we can find a trainer it trusts, we can definitely help it reform."
"Okay, I take back my previous assessment. She really knows nothing about you!"
