"Humanity..."
Giratina originally wanted Roy to use the Ghost Power to empower her, so she could experience the immense power that came with Roy's blessing.
But before Giratina could speak, as if sensing something, she quickly said to Roy:
"Human, I'll come back to find you in a while. I have to leave soon."
Should I come back to find myself after some time?
Before Roy could ask why, he discovered that Giratina had reopened the Space-Time Rift and sent him, Misdreavus, and Annihilape out.
Roy, who had returned to the outskirts of Pallet Town, watched as the Space-Time Rift closed instantly and he disappeared.
Could it be that Giratina's unauthorized opening of the Space-Time Rift has been discovered?
Confused, Roy took out Luxury Ball containing Ancient Gengar.
A flash of red light
A large, chubby purple creature, about 2.5 meters tall and covered in dark green tattoos, emerged from Poké Ball outside the Ruins.
Frustrated by having its power confiscated, the Ancient Gengar stood alone at the entrance of the Ruins, sulking.
Who understands the devastation of someone who has slept for a thousand years, only to awaken as an invincible being, and then discovers that their takeout order was placed by an extraterrestrial demon?
Moreover, the space within his body that could contain all attacks had also disappeared; this was his unique ability.
But now he has no choice; he has lost only a tenth of his strength and can only follow the humans in front of him, taking it one step at a time.
The Ancient Gengar was captured by Roy only because of Giratina's pressure, but it still couldn't help but feel some resistance.
Even without saying it in his heart, the fat man with the purple tattoo was already showing his resentment on his face. The playful smile that was originally on his face disappeared without a trace, and his big face was tense, his eyes were lowered, and even his pointed ears were stuck back a bit.
If it weren't for Giratina's warning, he probably would have rebelled by now.
Both Misdreavus and Annihilape were wary of the Ancient Gengar, worried that it might suddenly turn against them.
After all, both of them had been sucked into the space inside the Ancient Gengar before, a method they had never seen before.
Roy sensed through his mind that there was no need to worry about either of them. The current Ancient Gengar was not the Ancient Gengar from before; it had been severely weakened by Giratina.
He has five Pokémon that are at least Pseudo-Elite Four level, but he doesn't even need all five to fight. Just his Annihilape and Misdreavus evolving into Flutter Mane, combined, are enough to defeat the Ancient Gengar.
However, Roy did not resort to violence. Instead, he walked to the Ancient Gengar extended his hand to it.
"Gengar, nice to meet you from now on."
"Ghost~"
The Ancient Gengar turned its head away again, refusing to look at Roy.
Roy looked at the burly man with purple tattoos who was turning his head away, clearly defiant, and decided against using force, since the other man was now his Pokémon.
It's better to resolve a situation with a lollipop than with a slap, otherwise it might provoke a negative reaction and ultimately backfire on you.
A ball of Ghostly Purple energy appeared in Roy's outstretched hand.
"You must have been starving in the Ruins, right? Eat up."
The Ancient Gengar was about to refuse Roy —he's a Gengar with principles!! He won't accept charity...? What is this?
But when he saw the astonishing Captivate of the purple energy emanating from Roy's hand, it seemed to be saying, "Sir, come and eat me!"
The Ancient Gengar couldn't help but swallow hard; it had been a long time since it had absorbed such pure Ghost-type energy.
What is the origin of this human?
Not only are the people fragrant, but they can also create this fragrant Ghost-type energy, and they even recognize terrifying dragons like the one just now.
Although the Ancient Gengar was telling itself not to eat it, the energy emanating from Roy's hand was constantly tempting it.
Finally, the Ancient Gengar couldn't hold back any longer.
Well... then he can have a little!
I'll just... eat a tiny bit.
Let's make this clear first!
He only ate a little because Roy begged him to, not because he asked for it voluntarily.
After convincing itself, the large, Ancient Gengar eagerly grabbed Roy's hand and began absorbing Roy's Ghost Power.
Perhaps because it had been starving for too long, the Ancient Gengar absorbed a third of Roy's Ghost Power in one go, acting like a starving ghost.
Feeling the Ghost Power within his body rapidly decreasing, Roy was relieved that his Ghost Power had reached level 10.
Otherwise, the Ghost Power within him probably wouldn't be enough for Ancient Gengar to absorb.
If the Ghost Power before was described as a river, then the Ghost Power within him now is a vast ocean.
As Roy watched the Ancient Gengar greedily absorbing the Ghost Power Realm, a triumphant smile crept onto his lips.
Controlling Pokémon is actually quite simple; it's all about controlling its stomach. He doesn't believe that Ancient Gengar would be interested in anything else after consuming his Ghost Power.
Burp~
Cool!!
The Ancient Gengar stuck out its tongue and licked the remaining energy around its mouth, then swallowed it whole.
The already large Ancient Gengar swelled even more after absorbing a large amount of Ghost Power, making it look like a round ball from a distance.
The Ancient Gengar patted its large belly with satisfaction; this was its first meal after the seal was broken.
The energy in Roy's hand was indeed as delicious as it smelled.
He hadn't eaten this much in a long time.
Suddenly, I feel like working with Roy might not be so bad. Free meals and accommodation, paid leave, eight types of insurance and three types of housing funds...
Etc!
How could he have such a thought!
That human must have added something to that fragrant energy just now!
I almost fell for this human's trick!
The Ancient Gengar reminded itself that it must be more vigilant!
Speaking of which... when is the next meal?
That's not right!
This human is now his Pokémon Trainer; shouldn't he be able to eat whenever he wants?
The Ancient Gengar decides to eat Roy out of house and Roy as Revenge!!
Roy never expected that this fat man with purple tattoos would have so many inner monologues.
All he saw was that after absorbing the Ghost Power, the impatience on the purple fat man's face lessened considerably, and his pointed ears stood up.
However, she still put on a cool and aloof demeanor despite her large pregnant belly.
It's as if I'm telling myself not to assume that giving him food will make him listen to me.
Roy was unimpressed by the "aloof" Ancient Gengar, which had acted the same way when he first captured Duskull.
It's estimated that the Ancient Gengar will be even more eager to eat next time than Dusclops, considering how fawning the Ancient Gengar looked at Giratina.
