"Roy? You're awake so early?"
With a bang, Professor Oak pushed open the back door of the research institute, holding a toothbrush and a toothbrush cup in his hand. He looked at Roy, who had just returned to the backyard, and thought that this young man, Roy, was also up so early.
Dragonite snatched Professor Oak's toothbrush. Pallet Town was almost destroyed, and you still have the nerve to brush your teeth here?
Hey! Old buddy, what are you doing?
Professor Oak, still a bit dazed after waking up, had no idea what had happened last night.
Professor Oak noticed that Dragonite was staring intently at Roy's shadow.
"Roy, you...?"
Roy had no intention of hiding it from Professor Oak, since the latter might have to take the blame later, so it was better to just tell him directly.
"Gengar, come out."
Hearing Roy's call, the Ancient Gengar emerged from Roy's shadow, showing disdain for the Dragonite that had discovered it.
In other words, his energy was confiscated by the Nether Dragon Deity; otherwise, with his ability to hide, this Dragonite wouldn't have been able to detect him at all.
"Professor, this is the Pokémon I caught last night."
Professor Oak looked up at the oversized Gengar that had emerged from Roy's shadow, and lost his grip on the last tooth cup in his hand, which fell to the ground with a "clang".
Roy's Gengar was actually a whole size bigger than Agatha's Gengar.
And what's that? It even has dark green tattoos on its body!
How does Roy always manage to subdue all sorts of bizarre things?
Research on Annihilape has only just begun. He hasn't even started researching Misdreavus' Bond Evolution or the giant Flash Palossand yet, and now there's this XXXL Gengar covered in tattoos.
This was the first time he had ever felt so tired while researching Pokémon.
"Doctor! Doctor!"
Professor Oak was just about to take a closer look at the Ancient Gengar when he saw a middle-aged man with a backpack and trekking poles come to the outside of Professor Oak 'Oak Research Lab and call out to him in a familiar voice.
Upon seeing Professor Oak, the mountaineer went straight into the front yard of the research institute, grabbed Professor Oak 'Professor Oak arm, and tried to pull him away.
"Yan Zhi! What are you doing? Can't you see I haven't washed up yet?"
"Stop brushing your teeth, Doctor! We found a cave entrance on that hill over there; it looks like a Ruins."
"What? Ruins!!!"
Upon hearing the mountain climber's words, Professor Oak, without even having time to study Roy's Ancient Gengar, hurriedly put on his white lab coat, not even brushing his teeth.
After instructing Roy to "keep an eye on the summer camp kids," he grabbed the hiker's hand and ran towards the Ruins the hiker had mentioned.
"Doctor, actually my..."
Roy was about to reach out and grab Professor Oak to tell him that he had opened the Ruins when he lost his grip and Professor Oak vanished in the blink of an eye.
Roy knew that Professor Oak would at most Harvest some fragments of bottles and jars he didn't want from this trip, so he decided to wait until Professor Oak returned before discussing it with him.
Dragonite looked at the Ancient Gengar and felt that the energy fluctuations emanating from it were very similar to those it had sensed that night.
But the Gengar in front of me is about the same strength as Roy's other Pokémon. How is that possible? Am I imagining things?
Anyway, the Ancient Gengar isn't a threat anymore, so he's going to take a good nap and sleep forever!!!
Roy returned to the Wetland Marsh Zone, and now, two hours before dawn, his duties as a summer camp safety officer and instructor would begin.
After sensing Roy's presence, Palossand's golden shovel emerged directly from the swamp, accompanied by two Slowpoke and a Psyduck.
Roy first introduced the Ancient Gengar to his Pokémon.
Needless to say, Misdreavus and Annihilape have both fought against the Ancient Gengar, Lampent has also seen each other in the Ruins.
Snorunt also wanted to use the same trick he used to fool Palossand to persuade the Ancient Gengar to become his second subordinate.
But how could Ancient Gengar thousands of years old, be fooled by Snorunt? Instead, it made Snorunt call it "big brother," making Snorunt's face turn red with anger.
The Dusclops stared at the Ancient Gengar, its single red eye filled with confusion. Why was it so different from the Gengar belonging to Phoebe on Mt. Pyre? And why was it so much bigger?
Drakloak was simple-minded; it wanted to perch on the head of the Ancient Gengar, but since the Gengar also had spikes on its head, it wasn't suitable for perching, so it had to give up.
The Ancient Gengar had been sealed away for an unknown period of time, was a little unaccustomed to seeing so many Ghost type Pokémon, especially since these Pokémon were all its juniors.
After all the Pokémon got to know the Ancient Gengar, Roy began his workday.
I took a group of 7- or 8-year-old children to Professor Oak's Laboratory backyard to learn about Pokémon. The Pokémon there are generally more docile, and the chances of encountering danger are lower.
Serena is unable to participate in today's summer camp activities due to a leg injury and will have to recuperate at Professor Oak's lab. Roy left his Lampent to keep Serena company.
Lampent was initially worried about who would be responsible for Roy's safety after she was gone, but the thought of the oversized Gengar in Roy's shadow made her stop worrying.
Looking at the group of chattering kids in front of him, Roy felt a headache coming on; it really was an age that even a dog would worry about.
"Palossand, come out!"
However, Roy was prepared. While the children were wondering, a golden shovel on the wetland swamp suddenly moved, and then a large castle appeared on the swamp.
To the astonishment of the children attending the summer camp, the castle moved toward them.
Perhaps due to their young age and curiosity, not one of them let out Growl of fear. Perhaps they didn't know what Ghost type Pokémon were yet, and only saw the sand ladders on the city wall and the colorful shells on Palossand.
Although Ash and Gary had already seen Palossand yesterday, they were still shocked by the sight of Palossand emerging from the swamp.
Moreover, Palossand brought several Psyduck and Slowpoke from the Wetland Marsh Zone this time.
The two adorable Pokémon immediately won the hearts of many children upon their debut.
Roy then released all of his other Lampent, except for Gengar in his shadow, the Twilight Sparky that accompanied Serena, Drakloak, Annihilape, and Dusclops.
Upon seeing Roy's many Pokémon, the children at the summer camp eagerly gathered around to observe Roy's Pokémon, including Slowpoke and Psyduck.
But the Palossand was clearly more popular. Its castle-like shape, combined with its ability to create sand ladders, attracted at least half of the children to gather around the Palossand and play on its slides.
As for the Dusclops and the Annihilape, because of their somewhat terrifying and fierce appearance, no child dared to approach them.
Ash was equally excited, crowding around Roy's Pokémon one by one without showing any fear.
However, because there were too many people near Misdreavus and Snorunt, and there was a queue to ride Palossand's sand ladder, Ash went to Dusclops, where almost no one approached.
In comparison, Gary was more afraid; he was wary of the Dusclops Roy around.
He's different from Ash. He's heard rumors that Ghost type Pokémon can devour human life force, and even though Agatha is the Ghost type Elite Four, he's still afraid.
At the same time, he didn't understand why Ash could be so fearless, and even walked up to Dusclops and touched Dusclops bandages.
