The Conqueror's Haki Hypothesis!

Ghost Type Pokémon were the fewest in number among the eighteen types, the most troublesome to deal with, and the hardest to raise.

This was not only because most Ghost Type Pokémon were born with the ability to shift between the real and unreal worlds and slip into the shadows, but also because of their terrifying talent for feeding on the vital energy of living beings.

In the wild, many Ghost Type Pokémon did not eat Berries at all. They preferred to seek out places where living creatures gathered and secretly absorb the vital energy they gave off.

If that were all, it would actually be fine. After all, even if Ghost Type Pokémon did not absorb the vital energy that dispersed into the air, it would still vanish into nature.

However, many powerful wild Ghost Type Pokémon had no idea what restraint or sustainable harvesting meant. Once they found prey, they sucked it dry.

As a result, wherever they went, they left behind corpses drained of all vital energy.

In the early years, people's fear of Ghost Type Pokémon had even surpassed their fear of Poison Type Pokémon.

It was not until the Yanhuang League's first Ghost Type Champion appeared and joined forces with various regions to launch sweeps and capture operations against wild Ghost Type Pokémon that the terrifying legends surrounding them gradually faded.

That allowed the public to rationally accept that Ghost Type Pokémon were not completely incapable of coexisting with humans.

They were Pokémon too, merely one of the eighteen types.

Even so, despite all those efforts, Trainers who specialized in Ghost Type Pokémon remained exceedingly rare in the year 2025.

Aside from the difficulty of raising them, the scarcity of Ghost Type Pokémon was another factor restricting the number of Ghost Type Trainers.
