Roy was surprised to find that Dreepy's Individual Values were 20, and that it had 3 moves in the Technical Machine /TMT section.
Has this been subdued?
That shouldn't be the case, right?
If it had been subdued, why would it steal Berry and human food to eat?
Furthermore, the item Dreepy was carrying was a Dragonite scale, which Roy felt was more than just a simple matter.
Dreepy skillfully entered Alai's house through the window, and came out with two Berry on his head.
Dreepy intended to leave immediately, but he stopped outside, as if sensing something. With the two Berry on his head, he flew towards Roy and the others based on his senses.
In the bushes
Steven clutched the Metang's Poké Ball tightly in his hand. Just as he was about to throw the Poké Ball at the approaching shadow, he suddenly felt a hand grip his wrist.
Roy nodded at Steven, indicating that they should just watch his performance from now on.
Before Steven could react, Roy stood up abruptly.
Dreepy was about to fly over, was startled to see Roy get up. He was about to turn and run away, but seemed to smell something and stayed put.
Turning around, he found that Roy showed no sign of chasing after them.
The two stared at each other for about two minutes.
Frisk that Roy meant no harm, Dreepy floated to Roy's side and carefully sniffed the scent on Roy. It was this scent that had just attracted him.
Roy gathered a ball of Ghost Power in his palm, which had a fatal attraction for Ghost type Pokémon.
Sensing the delicious taste of the Ghost Power, Dreepy directly absorbed the Ghost Power from Roy's hand.
Before long, Dreepy's belly became round and bulging.
"Doron! Doron!"
Dreepy surrounded Roy, thanking Roy for his hospitality.
Seeing the shadowy figure being "subdued" by Roy, Steven also stood up and looked at the shadowy figure that had finished absorbing the Ghostly Purple energy from Roy's hand.
He had heard from his father about the special abilities of the Mt. Pyre Clan when he went to the Rustboro Academy.
It now appears that Roy has also inherited this ability.
The Pokémon clinging to Roy's wrist must be the culprit behind the haunting of Alai's house, but he doesn't think he's ever seen this kind of Pokémon before.
Steven took out his Pokédex. This wasn't the Pokémon League's Pokédex, but rather Pokédex independently developed by Devon Corporation. It integrated Pokédex systems from various regions, and Devon Corporation spent a considerable amount of money and resources just on the data.
Dreepy's information appeared on the Pokédex panel: [Dreepy, Lingering Pokémon, once inhabited the ancient seas. After being reborn as Ghost Pokémon, it wanders around its former abode.]
The Pokédex doesn't Pokédex the Pokémon League's advanced level, and it can only be roughly determined that Dreepy's level is between Elite level. Other information is unavailable.
"Dreepy?"
"Doryu?"
Dreepy looked at Roy, who had called her name. Roy actually knew her and could even communicate with her.
Judging from the dark circles under Alai's eyes from staying up all night, Roy understood that Dreepy wasn't the kind of Ghost type Pokémon absorb life force at will.
"Dreepy, do you like to eat Berry?"
Dreepy looked at the Berry on his head and shook his head.
"Then why did you..."
Before Roy could ask his question, Dreepy looked curiously at the Ember on the Litwick's head.
"Doryu."
"Candle!"
Roy thought for a moment and then released the Misdreavus again.
Misdreavus learned of Roy's thoughts, and she couldn't understand why Roy kept wanting to catch such strangely-looking Pokémon.
Can't you catch some cute Pokémon like her?
Urged on by Roy, the Misdreavus came up to Dreepy and greeted him naturally.
"Dream!"
"Doryu."
The two little ones started talking, and it was clear that Dreepy had hardly seen any other Ghost type Pokémon in Meteor Village.
After talking to Dreepy discovered that Misdreavus and Litwick were actually Roy's Pokémon?
"Dreepy, would you like to become my partner and leave with me? If you leave with me, you can absorb the energy from earlier every day."
Upon hearing this, Steven finally understood Roy's original plan.
You just want Dreepy's body.
No wonder they wouldn't let me do it earlier.
Do you enjoy that energy every day?
Recalling the pure, unadulterated, Ghost-type energy she had just consumed— Ghostly Purple liquid—she thought, "If I could absorb that every day..."
Misdreavus and Litwick were also trying to persuade Dreepy to join the party.
Dreepy was about to agree, but then seemed to remember something, shook his head to clear his mind, and nodded to Roy.
Roy was rejected.
This was the first time Roy had seen his Ghost type Succubus constitution fail; back at Mt. Pyre, a bunch of Ghost type Pokémon were vying to follow him.
Seeing that Roy had already extended his hand halfway and seemed a little embarrassed, Dreepy quickly explained:
"Doron, Doron."
Dreepy said he still had to take care of the patients, and although Roy had a scent he liked and the energy in Roy's hands, he couldn't leave with Roy.
The patient? Who is the patient?
"Doryu."
Dreepy pointed to the two Berries on his head, which were for the patient to eat. As a Ghost type Pokémon, he didn't need to eat any Berries.
He wouldn't risk stealing Berry and food if it weren't for the patients.
Fearing Roy would misunderstand him, Dreepy asked Roy to come with him, as he wanted to introduce Roy to his patient, or rather, his friend.
I believe his friend will also like Roy.
Roy is now certain that this Dreepy is definitely not Pokémon Trainer and is a wild Pokémon.
Moreover, Dreepy was able to resist the Captivate of the Tractor Ghost Power.
He had actually realized that Dreepy also wanted to leave with him, but ultimately refused.
This shows that the patient was very important to Dreepy.
If Roy Sheer Force subdue Dreepy, it would definitely backfire, causing Dreepy to become disloyal to him, which is not what Roy wants.
Having figured out the crux of the problem, Roy decided to follow Dreepy to see what was going on.
If all else fails, try subduing his fellow patient as well; then the two of them together should be fine.
He was determined to get this exceptionally talented Dreepy.
The bewildered Steven still didn't understand what was happening, and since he couldn't understand Dreepy's words, he could only stare at Roy.
However, Roy did not seem inclined to explain.
Seeing Roy following behind Dreepy, Steven didn't have time to ask Roy what was going on and followed closely behind Roy.
Seeing that Steven was about to follow, Dreepy stopped in her tracks.
Roy followed Dreepy's gaze to Steven and explained to Dreepy:
"This is my friend, and he's a good person."
Roy's friend?
Dreepy took two seconds to react.
Roy's friends are my friends; if Roy is a good person, then Steven is a good person too.
That's fine.
The simple-minded Dreepy drifted towards the end of the village.
