Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 192 The Hungry Candlelight Spirit
The Phantom Fish's all-terrain combat capability and the Fire Fox's light-distorting skills provide reliable assistance in their tracking.

The people who followed the little gray monster all the way soon came to the deep mountains and old forests, and watched the other party grab the braided sheep that was bewitched by "hypnosis" and float into an inconspicuous cave.

"Fu~"

It was really careless not to set a trap.

If it is a fire fox, it will use "telekinesis" to shape its "stand-in" into an imperceptible thread to block the entrance of the cave to prevent someone from suddenly approaching and preventing it from reacting in time.

But in fact, even if the trap is set, it is useless.

It carefully read the wavelength of the little gray monster's superpowers, providing a layer of texture as camouflage for humans and elves, and thus collectively sneaked into the cave.

There was no sign of living creatures in the cave, and only a faint glow of fire was emitted in the darkness.

The fire fox sensed the energy of fire and ghost attributes.

As they went deeper into the cave, they saw a third elf besides the little gray monster and the braided sheep.

A candle that looks like it has the same hairstyle as Zhulan, with a flickering dim blue flame burning on its head and green eyes.

Link immediately recognized the other party's true identity——

Candlelight, a candle Pokémon, pretends to light a candle to guide the way, but is actually absorbing the other party's life force.

This candlelight spirit looks a little weak.

The little gray monster brought the hypnotized braided sheep to its presence so that it could absorb its vitality.

Seeing this, Flamecat was about to interrupt, but was stopped by Link, who wanted to see whether the Candlelight Spirit would absorb the vitality until the Pigtail Sheep died or not.

Soon they discovered that the candlelight spirit was no longer absorbing vitality, and the flame on top of its head became a little brighter and stronger.

"Mosimoxi!"

The Candlelight Spirit expressed its gratitude to the keeper, but the latter said nothing and seemed to have no ability to speak.

It seems that they won't catch a sheep and keep pulling it, or is it that their ability to bear it at one time is limited?
It is said that there are wild candlelight spirits in Songshen Mountain?
The Fire Fox was very interested in this. Some ghost-attribute elves were unusual, and their special life forms often resulted in the way they obtained energy being different from other elves.

Normal life can obtain nutrition and energy by eating, and plant life can take root, grow, and use photosynthesis to obtain the necessities of survival.

Some spirits that are unable to eat may eat through magnetic fields, charging, or absorbing life force.

If it could learn this technique, perhaps as a fire-attribute elf it could also ensure endurance in battle.

Its durability is so poor that it can hardly support long-term combat.

Link doesn't really care about it. If all else fails, he can always use "dream eating" or ask his teammates to "pray". When facing a truly powerful opponent, as a trainer, he can also provide Fire Fox with badges and life energy as a help.

It doesn’t matter if Firefox has no endurance, as long as he has endurance and can pass it to Firefox.

"Fu~"

Noticing that the little gray monster that had been fed the candlelight spirit was floating outside with the braided sheep, the guilty people teleported away from here.

Although I didn't ask about the wheat field, at least I knew the purpose of the little gray monster kidnapping the braided sheep.

Then they saw the other side flying towards the south.

Waterway 122 south of Songshen Mountain connects to Route 123. The home of the Fruit Master is over there, and there may also be a farm where ranch elves are raised.

I'll go and have a look when I have time before returning to Kanto.

The Ghost Lantern is a very reliable spirit, but it's a pity that Link doesn't know how to cultivate a slow, ghost-type spirit that needs vitality, so he has to give up this accidental encounter for the time being. The group returned to the mountain road and continued to climb up.

However, neither humans, elves nor the little gray monster understood.

After they all left, the flame on the head of the fed candle spirit suddenly went out, and the cave fell into darkness and silence.

[The flame of the Candlelight Spirit is usually extinguished, but as long as it absorbs the vitality of a person or Pokémon, the flame will sparkle. ]

About half a day later, in the evening, Link finally arrived at the halfway point of Songshen Mountain.

From here on, the journey becomes increasingly dangerous. The mountain paths are steep and accidents are prone to happen. The elves are also very wild and like to attack outsiders.

Not to mention the fog that spreads unnoticed, obscuring the vision of tourists and shugenjas.

It would be too risky to climb the mountain in such weather, so they decided to find a place to camp as soon as possible to rest and enjoy dinner, and then climb after the fog cleared tomorrow morning.

Not long after, Link and Fire Fox found a flat ground and immediately began to prepare food. Windy Dog and Darkstalkers patrolled nearby to ensure safety, while Tortoiseshell was busy training his strength.

The time for the rest of the journey will be even tighter than it is now. As the weakest Pokémon in the team, it has to race against time to improve its strength.

It’s okay for Fire Fox, who has received a lot of attention and effort, but it can’t be really surpassed by the trainer, right?

"The dew in the mountains is so heavy. Let's eat something warm tonight. Do you want barbecue or hot pot?"

As he was speaking, he heard the voice of Growlithe: "Arcane is taking humans climbing the mountain. If you're hungry, come over and have a meal."

"???"

"Fu?"

"Meow?"

The barking of dogs roaming the mountains might attract one or two Growlithe/Zygota populations back!

Link thought thoughtfully, it seems that it has to be curry rice, otherwise it will not be able to feed so many mouths.

So I had to overturn the previous plan and immediately start boiling water and cooking.

About half an hour later, his dog came back with a large group of Growlithe and Arcanine to claim credit, and even Vulpix and Ninetales were seen among them.

"Wang!"

Wang-chan shouted cheerfully, if there are so many Growlithe and Arcanine guarding nearby, there is absolutely no need to worry about being attacked at night!
Windy Dog, who is brave enough not to be afraid of ghosts and can learn evil-type moves, must be the local bully in Songshen Mountain. With them guarding nearby, there is really nothing to worry about.

"Well, this meal was worth it."

Fortunately, he had already piled up enough food for several months in his expedition backpack, so feeding such a large group of dog-attribute elves was no problem.

But then again, he and Pot probably won't have any time to rest tonight.

This dog is such a dog!

While a man was trying to feed dozens of elves, a dim light blue flame was looming on the edge of the mist.

111 Can you really eat for free?

It was so noisy and full of vitality in front?
Where do so many dogs come from! ?
Damn, it’s a human trap!
When the candlelight spirit discovered the many dog-attribute elves surrounding the pot, it itself was discovered and immediately pulled out by the elves who were serving as guards.

"No, why did you come here yourself?"
