After Roy left, Gengar, still in the shadow of Phoebe, slowly woke up, rubbed its face with its big, chubby purple hands, and then stretched.
That was a really good night's sleep.
Wait a minute! How did he fall asleep so suddenly?
Gengar recalled the image of Marshadow entering Phoebe's mind and Hypnosis it.
What exactly was that dark figure that just entered the shadows?
Are Phoebe and Roy alright?
Gengar suddenly peeked out from Phoebe's shadow, and just as it was about to look at Phoebe, it met the eyes of a strange-looking face with a pair of small scarlet dots in its eyes and a mouth made of a tightly closed metal zipper.
What the heck?
Ah!
Gengar punched the Banette, which had been staring at it out of curiosity, flying away.
By the time Gengar realized that the giant face plate was a Curse doll, it heard Phoebe's voice behind it.
"Gengar! What were you doing? I called you so many times and you didn't hear me."
Gengar looked up and saw Phoebe standing with her hands on her hips, looking at him with a suspicious expression.
"Ghost!"
Seeing Gengar peek out from the shadows, Phoebe raised her hand and punched Gengar on the forehead, saying:
"I called you so many times and you didn't come out. Are you trying to rebel?!"
"Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!"
"You said a mysterious Pokémon Hypnosis you just now, making you sleep until now?"
Phoebe's Gengar nodded vigorously, gesturing wildly to show Phoebe the size of the famous mysterious Pokémon, which had a small Ember above its head resembling that of Chandelure...
Gengar didn't realize that while it was describing her, Phoebe had already clenched her fists.
When Gengar mentioned that a mysterious Pokémon's black hand touched his face, Phoebe grabbed Gengar's large purple ear.
Roy taking advantage of her not being smart is one thing.
This big, fat man in purple actually lied to her too!
Does she really look that unintelligent!?
"Ghost!"
Although Gengar didn't know what he had done wrong, he knew never to ask a woman what he had done wrong, so he quickly knelt down and begged Phoebe for forgiveness, his big, fat purple face full of pleading.
After Phoebe calmed down and released Gengar's ear, Gengar discovered a row of Shuppet floating in front of Phoebe.
It turns out that Phoebe was choosing a suitable Shuppet, since Steven had given her the Key Stone and the Banette's Evolution Stone just the day before yesterday.
She couldn't wait to imitate Roy and Steven, waving her Key Stone to Mega Evolution her Pokémon.
When Phoebe mentioned Roy, Gengar remembered that he still needed to find Ancient Gengar to learn from, but after looking around, he couldn't smell any pleasant scent on Roy.
Could it be...
Gengar immediately asked Phoebe where Roy had gone.
"Ghost!"
"You mean Roy and his big fat Gengar? They just left."
Upon hearing Phoebe's answer, Gengar felt as if the sky had fallen. He had originally planned to go to Roy's Ancient Gengar to learn how to control his shadow for attack or defense.
The other person had already disappeared.
Ignoring the Gengar, Phoebe ultimately relied on her sixth sense to choose the largest Phantom from among the group of Phantoms.
Of course, it's only about 3-4cm taller than a regular Phantom Doll.
"Little Four, it's you I've chosen!"
The chosen Shuppet was filled with disbelief; becoming Phoebe's Pokémon was the wish of all Ghost type Pokémon on Mt. Pyre.
Once it realized what was happening, the Shuppet excitedly floated to Phoebe's side and rubbed its face against Phoebe's.
The unchosen Shuppet looked disappointed and envious at the Shuppet named Phoebe by Little Four.
"Don't be disappointed, everyone. Today, I invite you all to absorb the Ghost Power!"
Phoebe also emitted a Ghostly Purple energy, and the Shuppet went berserk after sensing this pure Ghost-type energy.
They surrounded Phoebe, absorbing the pure Ghost-type energy.
Even the Banette, which had been knocked away by Gengar's punch, floated back and nestled among a group of Shuppet, taking the opportunity to inhale a couple of breaths.
Gengar seems to have been influenced by Phoebe 'Roy Pokémon philosophy that bigger is better.
However, he dared not point at Phoebe, and returned to Phoebe's shadow, picking up the Pokéblock Roy had made and eating it.
"Oh right, I still need to go to Yazi's place to buy Poké Balls later, and I also need Roy to make me a Pokéblock suitable for Shuppet..."
Phoebe muttered to herself.
After sending Phoebe back to Mt. Pyre, Roy checked the time.
He promised Chansey he would participate in the [Egg Cup] over the weekend.
Tomorrow afternoon is the opening ceremony of the fifth "Egg Cup", so he can stay overnight at the Pokémon Center.
Roy commanded Dragapult to charge towards Lilycove City.
Dragapult was incredibly fast, and it took him only a dozen minutes to fly from Mt. Pyre to Lilycove City.
As soon as Roy arrived above the Pokémon Center in Lilycove City, he saw Chansey anxiously pacing back and forth at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.
Is she waiting for me?
Roy directed Dragapult to land at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.
"Good luck, good luck!"
Chansey, who was waiting at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, saw Roy and tried to pull him into the Pokémon Center before Roy could even get off Dragapult.
"What's wrong, Chansey? Why are you in such a hurry?"
What else is wrong?
Chansey solemnly showed Roy the registration form. It turned out that Roy had only verbally said he wanted to register, but had never actually signed up for the competition.
Her "Egg Cup" is an official competition; you can't participate without registering. Luckily, Roy came today, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to register for the official competition tomorrow.
After Roy found out, he recalled Dragapult and went to the Pokémon Center with Chansey, handing his ID to Nurse Joy so she could register him.
After registering, Chansey finally relaxed.
