Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

Soroya stared at the ball of light in his hand, which had shrunk to a third of its original size after "watering" the sapling, and fell into deep thought.

In other words, after the chandelier spirit died, it produced something called a soul fragment.

This thing can be used to water saplings and exchange for abilities and items.

Although Zoroia didn't know why she had this thing, she had a very strong ability to accept things after being resurrected. In any case, it must be a good thing.

……

However, she didn't rush to put the "soul fragment" into it, but instead touched the second light.

[Power of Fear: By watering this branch with soul fragments, the host gains the ability to convert the fear of enemies into power. The more soul fragments you water, the higher your maximum capacity to absorb fear.]

Absorb fear and transform it into power

Zoroya pondered for a moment. Combining this with his transformation ability, it was indeed a good way to grow, but his current strength was still too weak, so it wasn't cost-effective for him at the moment.

She immediately touched the third ball of light.

[Gate to the Spirit Realm: Water this branch with soul fragments, and the host will receive a ticket to the Spirit Realm. Remaining soul fragments can be exchanged for a duration of three hours.]

Spirit world?

Soroya knew this place; his mother had mentioned it when she told him stories when he was a child.

Legend has it that it is the final resting place for the souls of all elves after they die, but no elf has ever been there.

Of course, it's also possible that they went but didn't come back.

This is actually a real place?

Soroya was somewhat surprised, while pondering how this could be of any use to him.

Given that the other two options both have the effect of directly or indirectly enhancing one's own strength, then the spirit world must also have its own reason for existence. What could it be?

……

Zoroya looked at the soul fragments on his claws and suddenly realized something.

What is most abundant in the spirit world?

Isn't it just the soul?

Therefore, the spirit world is a place to earn soul fragments!

Zoroah realized that this was the sapling's core ability.

Compared to the real world, the cost of obtaining soul fragments in the spirit world is much lower.

Although obtaining tickets also requires exchanging soul fragments, as long as you obtain more soul fragments than the ticket itself within the time you are inside, then you have made a profit.

Each time, a fixed number of soul fragments are kept for exchange, and the rest are added to two other places to improve strength.

The increased strength allows one to obtain more fragments in the spirit world, which in turn further enhances one's strength.

This would be a perpetual motion machine!

Without further hesitation, Zoroya poured the remaining fragments of the Chandelier Spirit's soul onto the branch.

Then, as if time had been accelerated countless times, the branches representing the Gate of Souls quickly sprouted, blossomed, and bore fruit.

In just a few seconds, a blue fruit, similar in size to an orange and surrounded by gray mist, grew out.

"Is this the 'ticket' to the spirit world?" Zoroya pondered, gently plucking the fruit.

She didn't rush to swallow it, nor did she know whether time in this unknown space was synchronized with the outside world.

If they weren't synchronized, she would disappear for three hours, and Xia Chen would definitely worry, so she decided to come back here to eat later that night.

Gently placing the fruit on the ground, Zorua withdrew from this strange space whose location was unknown, with a thought.

------

Zorua was reborn in an unbelievable way, and Gengar recovered under his care, while retaining his position as the leader of the abandoned hotel clan.

Ultimately, only the world where the Chandelier Spirit was injured was achieved.

The abandoned hotel returned to its former tranquility, and Xia Chen and Ma Xiu, these outsiders, naturally left.

Of course, the one and only ghost in this world, Zorua, also left with them.

It was late at night when Xia Chen and Ma Xiu left. The area outside was desolate and not a good place to rest.

Miss Ma Xiu's only flying sprite that can carry people is Togekiss. The relatively petite Ma Xiu is a perfect fit on it, but adding Xia Chen, who weighs around 100 pounds, would be a bit of a challenge for the aircraft.

Fortunately, the travel gift package from Fladali included a tent for outdoor camping, so spending a night outdoors wouldn't be a problem, but one should be wary of night attacks from wild elves.

Miss Maxiu said with some concern, "This area is quite far from Fragrance City and Windwood Town, and the level of danger is a bit high. Should I leave Big Mouth Baby behind to help you keep watch at night?"

The Eevee perched on Xia Chen's shoulder squinted. Wild Pokémon dangerous? I think you're the dangerous one.

Chapter 136 You Are All My Wings (4k Two-in-One)

Xia Chen suddenly felt that the winter night wind in northern Carlos was a bit cold, and it made Miss Ma Xiu's face turn red from the cold.

Looking at the rather thin pajamas she was wearing, Xia Chen felt a little touched.

She must have rushed over without even changing her clothes as soon as she received my message, right?

Thinking this, Xia Chen shook his head, "Then you'll have to fly over to pick her up tomorrow, which is too much trouble."

He unzipped the tent and said warmly, "Besides, you'll definitely catch a cold if you go back like this tomorrow. Why don't you rest here for the night?"

"Tch!"

Big Mouth Baby frowned at Xia Chen. What did he mean by that?

I drove over 100 kilometers back in just a few hours; it wasn't even enough for me to warm up!

And you're really underestimating my trainer!

Her daily training intensity is quite high, and she's in great shape, so what's a little temperature?

Don't try to look down on me!

The competitive Big Mouth Child looked up at Ma Xiu expectantly.

Quick, reject him!

The girl with the scented perfume trembled slightly, seemingly feeling the chill of the winter night. Her face flushed, she said softly, "Yes, it is a bit cold tonight. In that case, I will take my leave."

She looked down at the bewildered Mawile and smiled, "Mawile, I'll be leaving the night with you and Mr. Mime."

The baby nodded blankly, "Chirp chirp?"

Mr. Mime glanced disdainfully at Mawile, who clearly didn't understand its trainer's intentions, and loudly replied, "Bari!"

…………

Although it's called a tent, this thing is actually more like a small yurt.

The tent, also part of the Vladali travel kit, is full of cutting-edge technology.

A single battery, condensed to the size of half a brick, supplies all the power to this spacious tent, which is over ten square meters in size.

They boiled a kettle of water, took out some frozen ingredients, and stewed them with curry. Xia Chen, Ma Xiu, Eevee, and the other elves sat around the heated carpet, waiting for dinner.

Although it wasn't exactly a close call, tonight's experience was certainly thrilling and exciting. Xia Chen, holding a cup of hot tea, thanked her again: "I'm so glad you were here tonight, Miss Ma Xiu."

"You're welcome. After all, you're an important partner of mine."

Miss Ma felt that tonight's progress had been fast enough and wanted to slow down, but Xianbu was eager to get straight to the point.

"However, as a blessing in disguise, you have also captured such a unique Zoroa."

She chuckled as she looked at the pink-furred little fox huddled in Xia Chen's arms, playfully squeezing into Yi Bu's arms and vying for space. "Speaking of which, your arms are so cramped you can barely fit anyone in."

Ralts, perched on Xia Chen's shoulder, glanced down, showing no envy, but inwardly hummed twice.

Win, win, win. But in the end, you always lose everything!

Winning first doesn't mean you've won; the one who laughs last is the real winner.

When I evolve into Gardevoir

…………

Xia Chen gently restrained the two restless little ones in his arms, scolding, "This place is so big, why are you crowding around? You are both my little spirits, can't you get along peacefully?"

The demeanor of the head of the household stunned both the old and new Pokémon. Eevee and Zorua exchanged a glance, snorted coldly, and stopped making any rash moves for the time being.

Ma Xiu felt that there was something strange about the scene in front of her, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong. She silently took a sip of water and said nothing.

After straightening his knotted wings, Xia Chen looked up and asked, "By the way, Miss Ma Xiu, you are very knowledgeable. Have you ever seen anything like this in any ancient books?"

Although he was a transmigrator who possessed a great deal of knowledge that only he knew, Xia Chen never underestimated the people of this world.

After all, his knowledge only came from games and anime, while this is a real Pokémon world, so it's perfectly normal for him to have a lot of information he doesn't know.

However, Ma Xiu shook her head and frowned, saying, "I have been thinking about this problem ever since Zorya was resurrected, but I have never been able to find anything that can explain this phenomenon. Of course, it may also be because my knowledge is insufficient."

She suddenly asked, "If it's a scholar of Dr. Blatano's caliber, they might have clues. Are you planning to tell them?"

Xia Chen looked down at the little fox and pondered for a while before replying, "I think we should try not to expose Zorua for now, and wait a bit longer."

Ma Xiu nodded thoughtfully, "That's true. This Zoroa is much rarer than your Shiny Ralts, so it's likely to be coveted by others."

Xia Chen said softly, "More importantly, if we let them investigate, outsiders will know how the Ghost Zorua was born. I'm afraid some people will do something insane for profit."

Ma Xiu was startled. She hadn't thought that far ahead, but Xia Chen's words weren't without reason.

As a gym leader and one of the League's high-ranking members, she was naturally aware of the dark side of this world, and there were even rumors that some of the League's high-ranking members had shady dealings with it.

Upon reflection, the fewer people who know the secret of Zoroah's birth, the better.

Therefore, even if it is publicly claimed to be a newly discovered regional feature, it cannot reveal what is happening in the abandoned hotel today.

This chilling thought left Ma Xiu somewhat silent; the only sound in the quiet tent was the bubbling of curry in the pot.

The steam rose and filled the air, and the aroma was irresistible.

Xia Chen tasted a piece of beef and mumbled, "Okay, stop thinking about it and let's eat first."

…………

It's quiet at night.
