Chapter 159 Gengar: I'm so strong now!

Chapter 159 Gengar: I'm so strong now! (Seeking monthly votes!)
It has a dark purple, spherical shape, short claws and short legs, spiked protrusions on its back, and a short tail.

Gengar!

Gengar grinned, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth that created a striking visual contrast with its body color.

"哏叏！ヽ(▼盘▼ヽ)"

Your King of Fear has returned!
Zheng Hui rubbed his arms and suddenly shivered.

"This...this is Gengar? It's so cold."

Gengar lowered its head, looked at its left hand, then at its right hand, and gently squeezed it.

Hmm! I feel even more energetic now!

The clenched fist slowly opened, and a pitch-black "Shadow Ball" appeared in its hand.

Gengar grinned maliciously.

I'm so strong now!
With a single open mouth, it tossed the "Shadow Ball" into its mouth.

Zheng Hui: "."

Then Gengar lifted its short left and right legs to look at them, clearly feeling very surprised that it had grown legs.

"Genga?"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, it turned around sharply and tried to look behind it.

Its short tail wagged its tail with a "cheep cheep cheep" sound.

"Genga."

Can't see
click-

Jinghe took out her phone, recorded this adorable scene, and quickly posted it online with the caption: "The ferocious Gengar wags its tail!"

To be fair, even Farfetch'd can learn "Iron Tail" but Gengar can't, which is definitely a bit of a case of being targeted.

but
After Gastly evolves into Gengar, my phone's memory will be full; it'll be covered in Gengar memes.

Gengar leaned in and, with the help of the photo, finally saw what it looked like from behind.

"Gen, genga?"

Tail, tail?
"How is it? Pretty cute, right?" Jing He waved her phone and said with a smile.

cute?

Zhenghui took a step back and wiped his forehead.

"哓GA!"

Gengar let out a terrifying grin. Jinghe said it was cute, so it was cute. Having a tail was good too. In the future, it could play the "tail bumping" game with Vulpix and Dratini.

Its eyes darted around cunningly, and it stuck out its scarlet tongue, giving Jing He a solid slap on the face.

"Genga~~"

Jing He, who was all smiles just a second ago, suddenly became stiff with emotion the next second.

I didn't feel that numb before.
"Numb? Cherry, cherry?"

Just as Zheng Hui was about to search, he saw Jing He tremblingly take out a "cherry fruit" from her pocket. Despite her numb body, she put the trembling "cherry fruit" into her mouth with extreme precision.

Click!

Juice dripped down the corner of his mouth.

"Wow, so skilled," Zhenghui murmured.

Gengar stuck its tongue out at Jinghe triumphantly.

"Genga?"

Am I awesome now?
Jinghe, who had recovered, gave it a thumbs up.

In terms of paralysis effect alone, it is significantly stronger, as personally tested and verified.

At the same time, when Gengar used "Lick," Jinghe also saw a brand new Pokédex entry for Gengar.

Gengar

[Type: Ghost, Poison]

[Characteristic: Cursed Body]

【Items to carry: Poisonous Orb, Cursed Talisman】

[Mastered moves: Will-o'-the-Wisp, Mist, Poison, Misfortune, Substitute, Protect, Shadow Fist, Nasty Plot, Shadow Ball, Dream Eater, Nightshade, Ice Fist, Sudden Attack]

[Mood: Excitement, confusion (I've grown a little tail!)]

[Status: Excellent (Having absorbed unknown power, her condition is off the charts)]

[Friendliness: 100 (It openly loves you)]

really.

After evolving, Gengar's ability becomes "Cursed Body".

【Cursed Body: When a Pokémon with this ability is attacked, there is a certain chance that it will inflict a "freeze" status on the opponent.】

The so-called "immobilization" state refers to restricting and blocking the opponent's moves.

Give me back Gengar's "levitate" ability!
The "Levitate" ability makes Pokémon immune to Ground-type moves. However, without the "Levitate" ability, Gengar, as a Poison-type Pokémon, becomes twice as weak to Ground.

This adds a weakness to Gengar.

After evolving, Gengar also learns a Dark-type move called "Sucker Punch".

Although this move is a physical attack and not particularly suitable for a Pokémon like Gengar, Jinghe's Gengar usually trains physical attacks, so there's not much of a problem for a punching Gengar to use a physical move.

This could be considered a slight increase in Gengar's coverage.

What caught Jinghe's attention most in Gengar's Pokédex was a line in the [Status] section.

Did Gengar absorb an unknown power?

What unknown force?

Even if something is incredibly good, it doesn't necessarily mean it will learn the "Big Bang" technique.

Fortunately, Gengar's condition is still "excellent".

"Genga?"

At this moment, Gengar also realized that it seemed that it could no longer fly.

"Don't worry, it's just that the attribute has changed from 'Floating' to 'Cursed Body,' it doesn't mean you can't fly anymore," Jing He comforted him.

In theory, Gengar can still fly.

In the anime, there's a Gengar in the Alola region called "Greedy Lap," which can not only fly but also carry people.

"It's changed from floating to requiring you to use your own energy to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gengar bent its short legs and leaped into the air.

Swinging his arms up and down, just like Tom the cat in "Tom and Jerry," forcibly suspending them in mid-air.

Seeing this, Jing He smiled wryly.

Seeing that Gengar was about to fall, it gritted its teeth and swung its arms even faster.

As it waved its arm, wisps of black ghost-type energy gradually floated out from its body, and then...
It then floated in mid-air.

"What an impressive learning ability!" Zhenghui exclaimed.

Gengar, having slowly regained its ability to teleport, put its hands on its hips and let out a sinister laugh.

"Genga~~"

However, his smugness lasted only three seconds.

Gengar fell to the ground with a "thud".

It wasn't discouraged, though; it scratched its head, looking somewhat puzzled.

Jing He gently rubbed her chin. "If we had superpowers to help us, it would probably be easier, right?"

"Genga?"

Upon hearing this, Gengar's crimson eyes gleamed.

superpower!
At this moment, Vulpix and the others gradually recovered from their surprise at Gengar's evolution and came forward one by one.

Vulpix curiously poked Gengar's body with its claw, and the claw went right in.

The skilled blacksmith swept his hammer up and down around Gengar, seemingly searching for a magnetic field. "Woo."

Dratini puffed out its cheeks, trying to imitate Gengar's chubby appearance, but found it couldn't do it at all.

In response, Jinghe actually wants to say—

No need to learn it, once you evolve into Dragonite, you'll be similar to Gengar.

after that.

Zheng Hui used various instruments that Jing He couldn't understand to collect dozens of data points from Gengar.

They said they needed to determine the situation of Gengar.

While Zheng Hui was inputting the data into the computer and starting to analyze it one by one, Jing He, who was waiting, led the little ones out of the lighthouse and went to the "White Strait".

As the setting sun dipped close to the sea, its rosy glow bathed the entire sky, the sea, and even the beach in a blush of red.

Jinghe took off her shoes, rolled up her trousers, and stepped onto the beach, feeling the cool seawater washing over her again and again.

Gengar plunged headfirst into the water, its arms and legs flailing about, splashing up white sprays, and occasionally lifting its head to breathe.

It has become familiar with its feet, and even its tail has been put to use.

"Singing~~"

The miniature dragon poked its head out of the water, its tail curled around a clump of unknown coral, swaying as if showing off to Jing He.

It didn't even notice that there was an unknown shellfish on its head.

"Do you have shellfish? How about a seafood buffet tonight?" Jinghe suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, the four little ones all showed interest at the same time.

Suddenly a wave crashed over us.

It swept the Mini Dragon directly into the seawater.

"Mwah mwah mwah"

Two bubbles rose.

Jing He: "."

Fortunately, the dwarf dragon was already used to this, and when it came out again, it had a shellfish in its mouth.

See this.

The little ones immediately sprang into action.

"哓GA!"

Gengar took a deep breath, flapped twice, and then dived.

"Chirp!"

The skilled blacksmith, hammer in hand, pinched his nose and jumped into the water with a "plop," then...
A huge bubble rose to the surface.

Upon seeing this, Jing He's expression changed, and she hurriedly said:

"Are you trying to sink yourself by carrying a hammer into the water?"

In a panic.

Dratini and Gengar jumped into the water to rescue them.

Fortunately.

After entering the water, the skilled blacksmith realized something was wrong and grabbed the miniature dragon's tail to float to the surface.

As for the hammer...
"哓GA——"

As Gengar climbed ashore, it opened its mouth and gulped down a mouthful of seawater mixed with seaweed, coral, shellfish, and the blacksmith's hammer.

Gengar is still intelligent.

Even the skilled blacksmith's hammer couldn't be lifted, so it used its own dimensional space to bring it out.

Talk about it.
Will this Gengar become a dimensional pocket in the future?

Since it can swallow a skilled blacksmith's hammer, it would be reasonable for it to swallow a sword and shield as well, right?

After experiencing a series of "unexpected" events, things gradually returned to normal.

Of course, this was on the premise that Jinghe had emphasized to Gengar not to try to take the pincers of Krabby.

Otherwise, I estimate we'll have to add a few pairs of large crab claws to dinner later.

Jinghe clapped his hands and called out, "Get moving, get moving!"

"Six-tailed Fox, help me build some shaved ice."

"Ooh~~"

The Ice Vulpix isn't good at things like fishing for shellfish, but it excels at creating ice and snow.

Night falls.

Zheng Hui's Vulpix lit the campfire, illuminating the small "iceberg" created by the Ice Vulpix in a bright red light.

It was covered with all kinds of seafood.

There are shellfish, shrimp, and all kinds of fish.

It has to be said that when it comes to food, Gengar and the others are extremely enthusiastic.

A small iron pot sat on the campfire, its broth, mixed with various seasonings, bubbling away.

As for where this pot came from...
In any case, Zheng Hui lost a lot of the instruments that had already been scrapped, and the blacksmith's hammer was replenished.

Zhenghui, who had been invited, couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight before him.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, just like Jinghe and the others.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've eaten seafood and sashimi in all the time I've been to the 'White Strait'."

As he spoke, he handed over a report.

"Gengar is in such excellent condition that it is almost the best evolved Pokémon I have ever seen."

He picked up a piece of cold sashimi and stuffed it into his mouth, squinting his eyes in satisfaction as he mumbled:
"However, Gengar did give me a heads-up; that device could be further optimized, especially if we encounter another Pokémon with such an excessive amount of energy as Gengar."

Jinghe glanced at him.

So is that instrument reliable or unreliable?

"Genga~~!"

Gengar suddenly poked its head out from the shadows of the two people, pulling its mouth open with both hands and sticking out its big tongue.

Zheng Hui turned pale with fright.

Jinghe was already used to this.

I picked up a piece of sashimi and threw it into its mouth.

Gengar squinted its eyes happily.

Grab Jinghe's clothes.

"Genga?"

Want to come down and play? It's so much fun inside.

Dark lines appeared on Jinghe's forehead.
