"Then Mr. Gengar, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." Hu Yang said.
His goal has been achieved, and all he needs to do next is to work hard to become stronger and take Gengar to find his body.
But who knew that Totem Gengar did not send him away immediately, but suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction.
In the darkness, a figure slowly walked out of the dense forest.
Steven is holding a feather that shines like the moonlight in his hand.
He borrowed it from a family elder who had a hobby of collecting.
It is said that the feathers Legendary Pokémon, Cresselia have the magical ability to drive away evil spirits and Nightmare for the holder.
In the afternoon, after exchanging information with Pheobe, Steven rushed back to Rustboro City and took the feather.
As expected, this thing is useful for the strange aura of this forest.
Just...
Why is the boy who sold him the stone here?
Steven looked at the human standing next to Gengar with a strange look on his face.
Did he enter by mistake? Or did he find this Mansion by relying on his own ability?
Hu Yang is also very embarrassing.
Why does he feel like he can meet Steven anywhere?
As the two looked at each other, Steven was the first to speak, "Why are you here?"
Hu Yang glanced at Totem Gengar beside him and decided to tell the truth, "I have something to ask Mr. Gengar."
When answering, he made his Gengar appear in front of Steven.
Steven suddenly had an idea in his mind, but now is not the time to talk about it.
He shifted his attention to the Totem Gengar and said, "Did Ye Zhi ask you to guard this place?"
After receiving the task from Pokémon League, Steven went to Pokémon League's archives to check the information.
Ye Zhi, the first Ghost of Hoenn League Elite Four.
Two hundred years ago, when Pokémon League was first established, a large-scale human disappearance case was received.
Ye Zhi accepted this task and resolutely took the elf to the location of the case.
This resort, Mansion, is the location where mass disappearances occurred
Although the matter was later resolved, Ye Zhi never appeared again.
Pokémon League later sent people to look for it, but found nothing. Even the Mansion disappeared.
This incident was eventually named "The Missing Elite Four Member", and the notes recording the relevant information were sealed deep in the archives.
Until today, the day comes again.
The curtain of history has been lifted, and the past two hundred years are slowly unfolding in front of today's people like a worn-out sheepskin scroll.
The Totem Gengar paused when he heard this name and nodded.
Hu Yang stood aside and listened silently.
Steven continued to speculate calmly, "He encountered danger during the investigation of this matter, so he sealed these Ghost-type Pokémons in this Mansion at the last moment and asked you to guard them here, right?"
Totem Gengar didn't answer. These words reminded it of its trainer's last days.
At that time, they came here together to investigate.
When they entered Mansion, they found that there was no one inside and it was extremely quiet.
Ye Zhi Let him and several other elves go around to check the situation.
At this moment, he was attacked by a powerful Ghost-type Pokémon.
Gengar They returned in time and had a big battle with the elf and its little brothers.
The result of the battle was extremely tragic, and they exhausted all their strength before defeating it.
When the battle was over, Ye Zhi only breathed his last breath.
Looking at several seriously injured elves, Ye Zhi gave his last life force to the elves, and turned into a withered skeleton, sleeping here forever.
Guard this place so that these Ghost-type Pokémon can never go out to harm others again, this was the last thing Ye Zhi said to it.
However, how could Gengar alone be able to seal the remaining Ghost-type Pokémon.
In order to fulfill the trainer's last wish, the other five elves actively contributed their own strength.
Later, over the course of two hundred years, Gengar's strength gradually exceeded that of Elite Four level.
It kept its promise and guarded this Mansion very well.
Just.
That person will never come back.
Steven sighed lightly and his expression became serious, "Mr. Ye Zhi is a respectable trainer. Pokémon League will always remember his deeds in his heart."
"Now, let us fulfill Mr. Ye Zhi's last wish." Steven said, "I am Hoenn League, the current Champion, and Steven Stone. I am responsible for succeeding Mr. Ye Zhi and handling the follow-up of this Mansion."
Totem Gengar was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Hu Yang.
Steven was stunned when he saw this, and looked over involuntarily.
Hu Yang: "..."
Okay, okay, let him speak.
"Mr. Steven, you want to solve the problem of Ghost-type Pokémon in this Mansion, right?" Hu Yang asked.
Steven nodded.
Hu Yang: "Then what can you do?"
In fact, there is another way besides banishing them to Spirit World.
That is to kill them all.
"..." Steven obviously thought of this as well. He was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Over the years, under the propaganda of Pokémon League in major regions, humans have become more and more accepting of elves, treating them as friends and even family members.
Therefore, most people would hesitate when facing the execution of so many elves at once.
This is not their Holy Mother, but because what happened two hundred years ago is a bit far away for people today.
Hu Yang is just an outsider. He cannot evaluate these things, so he can only leave the decision-making power to Steven.
"Besides that method, there is another way to solve them." He said.
Steven asked subconsciously, "What?"
Hu Yang: "Have you heard of Spirit World?"
"Spirit World?"
Hu Yang hummed and repeated what he had said to Gengar before.
Steven fell into deep thought.
He had heard this word before, but did the world that accommodates souls really exist?
Dusknoir...Pheobe There is one.
Thinking of this, Steven looked at Hu Yang and asked in confusion, "Where did you know this?"
Hu Yang: "..."
He had long thought that he would encounter this situation, so he directly pulled his non-existent parents out of this world.
This time, he arranged for them a hobby of studying myths and legends.
And all this is known from them.
Steven had no doubts. He took out an object similar to a push-button cell phone from his pocket and made a call to Pheobe on the spot.
Not long after, Pheobe rushed over.
Because Totem Gengar canceled the influence of the aura, Pheobe did not get lost again this time.
"Dusknoir?" After listening to Steven's retelling, Pheobe took out a Poké Ball from his pocket.
With a click, a Dusknoir appeared in front of everyone.
"Dusknoir, do you know Spirit World?" Pheobe asked.
Dusknoir sent out the ancient Growl, indicating that it knew something.
Pheobe: "Then do you know how to open the door of Spirit World?"
Regarding Spirit World, Pheobe, who is Ghost-type Elite Four, knows more about Spirit World than Steven.
Therefore, even if Hu Yang didn't say it, she knew that Dusknoir was the gatekeeper of Spirit World, and had the ability to receive Spirit World's signal.
But all this time, she thought it was a legend and didn't think about it carefully.
Dusknoir shook his head and grunted a few times.
Pheobe stood up after hearing this and said to Steven, "This method is feasible, but my Dusknoir is not strong enough."
To open the Spirit World entrance once, you need strong enough Ghost-type energy support.
So the question is, where can we get so much Ghost-type energy?
Pheobe and Steven fell into deep thought.
At this time, Totem Gengar, who was silently listening to several people talking next to him, glanced at Dusknoir, then looked back at the Mansion behind him.
Its body lit up with a purple flame without any warning.
Pheobe's eyes were instantly attracted.
The terrifying Ghost-type energy emanates from Totem Gengar's body, rising into the sky like a blazing flame.
The intense purple light dispelled the darkness, and under Moonlight, it was like fireworks, gorgeous, but extremely short-lived.
That's... it's transferring its Ghost-type energy to Dusknoir!
"You will die!" Pheobe said hurriedly.
Totem Gengar looked at Pheobe silently.
This moment is exactly like that moment.
Its elven companions used this method to keep the smallest one in the team alive.
Now, it has grown stronger than the five of them.
Pheobe showed a shocked look on his face and murmured, "The trainer is gone, don't you want to continue living?"
After receiving the powerful energy, a purple light suddenly rose from Dusknoir's body.
Sacrificed a Gengar whose strength far exceeded Elite Four level to open the entrance to Spirit World.
The light was projected onto the open space not far away, and immediately formed a whirlpool-shaped entrance.
Totem Gengar turned around and looked at the Mansion.
Immediately afterwards, a huge suction force spurted out from the vortex.
With a clanging sound, the windows and doors inside the Mansion were suddenly opened, and Ghost-type Pokémon struggled and screamed and flew out from inside, flying towards the entrance of Spirit World.
Pheobe knows about Spirit World, and that Dusknoir is the gatekeeper of Spirit World.
But just like Groudon Kyogre, they always thought it was a legend and did not think about it carefully.
And not every Dusknoir can open the Spirit World entrance. Even if Pheobe wants to try, there is no way.
