Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 69 Ghost
"So Natsume, do you have any ideas?" Xiaoxia reacted and pointed at Xiaogang who was grinning foolishly.

"Just ask him." Natsume pointed at Xiaogang.

"Ah? How can he communicate in this state?" Xiaoxia was puzzled.

"Don't get me wrong, Xiaogang's condition is not caused by ghosts." As soon as Natsume finished speaking, Xiaogang beside him said:

"I saw a super beautiful older sister on the cliff earlier. She looked exactly like this stone!"

After saying that, Xiaogang continued to grin foolishly.

Xiaoxia: "."

"You guys, being haunted by a ghost is not a good thing."

An old voice sounded from behind, and an old woman who looked very similar to Granny Jin came out.

She is short, but wears the attire of a shrine maiden. Her eyes are inverted triangles like Gengar's, which makes her look a bit fierce.

"It's that old lady." Xiaozhi took out the second string of rice cakes.

"Ah! There's Team Rocket!" Xiaoxia looked behind the old woman in surprise.

In the shadows, behind the old woman, the three members of Team Rocket walked out.

"Really? Why do we have to come up the mountain just to eat oden?" Musashi complained.

"Forget it, let's treat Kojiro first, meow." Meowth said, and spotted the enemy Satoshi and his group.

"It's you, meow!"

The atmosphere was tense.

The old woman took out her cane and hit one of the men on the head.

"Oh, you all have companions who are haunted by ghosts. Why don't you come back to the temple with me to get treatment first."

As she spoke, the old woman clasped her hands together and a smile appeared on her face.

"Xiaozhi." Natsume suddenly spoke.

"Um - what's wrong, Natsume-kun?" Xiaozhi turned around holding a small bucket full of wooden sticks, his mouth full of rice cakes, and said incoherently.

"Pikachu--" As he spoke, Middle-Parted Hair and Pikachu took away two more pieces.

"Use your Pokédex to identify her." Natsume pointed at the old woman in front of him.

He raised his eyes slightly and saw a purple fat man above the old woman's head.

Gengar floated quietly in the air, pointing his chubby little finger at the old woman below - there was something wrong with her.

[Granny Gold, the Granny Pokémon is actually Gastly in disguise. It created this image based on your memories.]

[Garsis, LV.22.]

"Wow, it's Gastly!"

Xiaozhi became excited.

"Come on, Pikachu!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu stood opposite his mother-in-law with full energy.

"Hahaha!" The witch stopped pretending and her whole body disappeared, turning into a Pokémon image like a black hole.

"It's really Gastly!" Misty exclaimed.

"You guys are really no fun at all!" Gastly suddenly spoke in human language.

"What? Besides me, there is actually someone who can talk, meow!" Meow Meow was shocked.

"This isn't human speech." Natsume explained:

"Some Psychic and Ghost-type Pokémon can have a telepathic effect. Once this effect becomes strong enough, it can reach the point where you can understand its language."

"Xiaozhi, you captured him." Natsume patted Xiaozhi's shoulder.

He now felt that this Gastly had considerable value as a sparring partner.

He was able to give psychological hints to the point where people would think he was speaking human language without being discovered.

Even Kikuko's Gengar can't do it.

This has nothing to do with level. Only ghost-type Pokémon that have lived long enough and have perfect control over every bit of their power can achieve this effect.

This is also why ghost and psychic Pokémon produced in some historical sites are more popular.

In addition to combat, they have a wider range of uses.

For example, give Dragonite energy control training.

Natsume winked at Gengar, who vanished into thin air.

"Come on, Pikachu, Magnetic Tail!" Xiaozhi got close to the opponent and used his ultimate.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu suddenly jumped into the air, his tail flashing with black light, shining with the moonlight.

Suddenly, the opponent's Gastly's shape changed.

A huge marsupial appeared, and in its pocket, a small marsupial popped its head out and waved at Pikachu.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu was in a state of panic, the light around his tail disappeared, and he jumped back in front of Ash.

"Pikachu! Pikachu!" Pikachu seemed a little disappointed. "Huh? Pikachu, why don't you want to fight them?" Ash asked curiously.

"Pikachu was adopted by Professor Oak. When it was still Pichu, its adoptive mother was a marsupial."

Natsume stuck his head out and gave Xiaozhi a brief description of Pikachu's past.

"So that's how it is." Xiaozhi hugged Pikachu distressedly, and then a hint of anger appeared on his face:
"You cunning guy!" Xiaozhi said as he threw out three red and white balls.

"Hahahaha!" Gastly, who was laughing wildly, was suddenly startled.

Wait a minute, isn't this supposed to be a passionate and kind-hearted young man? Why would he think of gang fighting?

Three red lights flashed, and the figures of Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur appeared one after another.

Seeing that they were three baby Pokémon, Gastly calmed down again.

"Hahahaha, just watch this!" he said.

Gastly transformed into a giant fire-breathing dragon.

At the same time, a cannon barrel belonging to Blastoise protruded from its shoulder.

Bulbasaur's giant flower popped up overhead.

"Nelny! Jenny Jenny! Seed seed!"

The three Pokémon, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur, were so scared that they hugged each other and retreated into Ash's Poké Ball.

"Mr. Natsume, why can this Gastly transform into the appearance of other Pokémon?" Jiaozi came over and asked curiously.

"I don't know, but his telekinesis is very strong and he can easily see through his opponent's heart." Natsume marveled.

"Hahahaha! You are too weak!" Gastly laughed.

"Come on, Awa monster!" Musashi suddenly attacked from behind.

"Hmm?" Gastly just glanced at them.

It transformed into the appearance of Meerkat, the natural enemy of snake Pokémon.

"Po!!!"

"Abo Snake, what are you doing——"

The Abraham snake was so scared that it stepped back repeatedly, bumped into Musashi, and rolled down the hillside with Meowth.

Kojiro was still grinning.

"Quack, quack, quack!"

Seeing these humans being played around by him.

Gastly began to laugh wildly, and as he laughed, he found that his head was covered by a shadow.

Looking up, he saw a red-eyed Gengar looking at him.

"."

Brother, where are you from?

Gastly stopped smiling, feeling that something was wrong. Just as he was about to run away, Gengar slapped him in the face, causing him to see stars.

A shadowy light flickered on Gengar's claws, and with another slap, Gastly completely lost his ability to fight.

"Xiaozhi!" Natsume reminded the other party.

Xiaozhi realized it later and quickly threw out a red and white ball.

The ball was halfway there when Natsume caught it with one hand.

"Wait a minute, if you subdue the opponent directly, you will be teleported back to Professor Oak's laboratory."

Natsume said as he took out his software and pointed it at the unconscious Gastly.

[Garsis, LV22.]

[Feature: Illusion (Pretends to be the last Pokémon in a group, confusing the opponent).]

Hallucination?

Isn't this Zoraya's characteristic?

If Natsume remembered correctly, Gastly's only useful characteristic seemed to be floating.

But when he thought of Alan's water-breathing Charizard, Natsume suddenly felt that the illusion of Gastly made sense.

[B-level project - Ever-changing has been deciphered, Super Ball Scratch +1.]

The system's voice also sounded at this moment.

In this case, Ai Lan's water-storing spray can also be considered a special individual.

Natsume stroked his chin, wondering when he should scan the opponent's Water Charizard.

After all, this kind of Pokémon with special characteristics can get rewards by just scanning the software.

Don't take it too easy.
