I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

“That’s right,” Dream nodded, “The intense resentment they felt before their deaths prevented their spiritual energy from immediately dissipating; instead, it remained as resentment. Plus, your superpower can resonate with spiritual energy, so…”

Ye Feng was stunned. He hadn't expected that all of this was caused by his own superpowers.

"Roar!"

Ye Feng wanted to ask more questions, but the dark-faced man didn't seem to have any time for them to chat. He roared and pounced on them.

With his spirit restored and the elves' protection, Ye Feng was no longer afraid of the black face and directly issued commands to the elves through telepathy.

Gardevoir, use Psychic;

Gengar, Shadow Ball;

Arcanine, Flamethrower;

Gyarados, Devastate Beam;

Bosscodora, Rock Slide;

Kingdra, Dragon Pulse;

"Pokekiss, Azo missile!"

Chapter 290 The Departed

As soon as Ye Feng gave the order, the Pokémon reacted and prepared to use their moves to attack.

But the result surprised them greatly.

Apart from Mega Gardevoir's Psychic, the other Pokémon were unable to use the moves Ye Feng had ordered, and they were all stunned in place.

Fortunately, Gardevoir's Psychic ability seemed to have caused considerable damage to Blackface, who screamed and flew away.

"What's going on?" Ye Feng looked at the few elves that were standing still.

"This place seems to be similar to the spiritual world, so apart from Psychic-type moves, nothing else can be used," Mew explained after observing for a while.

Just now outside, Ye Feng suddenly collapsed to the ground and began to convulse, his mental energy rapidly waning. Gengar suddenly erupted, its dark energy enveloping the entire plaza, and a black face suddenly appeared before him.

Looking at Ye Feng again, he seemed to be being chased by the black-faced man—and there was another Ye Feng lying on the ground.

The elves attacked the black-faced man, but found it had no effect.

As the dark figure lunged at Ye Feng, Ye Feng's Pokémon roared in panic. In the face of life and death, Gardevoir, Gyarados, and Arcanine all emitted a burst of evolutionary light.

Gardevoir was the first to evolve, unleashing a burst of violent psychic power. It seemed to have connected with Ye Feng through Mega Evolution, and together with Gengar, they repelled Blackface.

"The spiritual world?" Ye Feng was a little puzzled.

"Hmm... it must be the bond between you and the Pokémon, the psychic power that erupts after Gardevoir's Mega Evolution connects you," Mew said.

However, it was a little confused as to how it had ended up inside as well.

"Is that so..." Ye Feng murmured, but there was no time for him to think. The black shadow flew back and roared as it pounced on them.

"Everyone else, step back! Gardevoir, Psychic Ball, Gengar, Togekiss, Psychic!"

Knowing that only Psychic-type moves could be used, Ye Feng decisively ordered the other Pokémon to retreat and commanded Mega Gardevoir, Gengar, and Togekiss to step forward and fight.

"boom!"

The psychic ball struck Black Face with powerful mental energy, causing him to scream in agony. Then, with a twisting motion, Black Face exploded into a cloud of black mist in mid-air, from which one figure after another fell out.

It exhaled the black mist that had been expelling people and began to twist violently, forming tentacles that reached out to the people on the ground, seemingly trying to suck them back in.

"Stop it!" Ye Feng shouted.

The three spirits attacked simultaneously, launching a fierce assault on the black mist. In the end, the black mist vanished amidst a strange roar.

Gengar looked at the crowd on the ground, roared, and rushed forward, opening its mouth to swallow them whole.

"Gengar, stop!" Ye Feng stopped it in time.

"Kou Jie?" Gengar looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression, but still obediently retreated.

"Could these people be..." Dream immediately noticed the unusual nature of these people.

"It's probably what you called the guardians of the seal. They suddenly went berserk just now, their bodies emitting black mist and turning into those black faces. It's probably that black mist that controlled them," Ye Feng explained.

"Now that the black mist has been eliminated, they should return to normal, right?"

"Is that so..." Dream nodded. So it wasn't resentment, but rather a condensation of controlled mental energy.

"Huh? That's... my arm!" Ye Feng spotted a blue light floating where the black-faced man had just been standing. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his right arm that had been taken from him.

Mega Gardevoir reached out, its psychic powers swiftly grabbing the arm and handing it to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng, feeling strange and with a subtle expression, took the arm under the elves' watchful eyes and gestured at the shoulder: "Um, how do I catch this...!"

Before he could finish speaking, his arm suddenly emitted a faint blue light, flew up automatically, and reconnected the severed ends.

Ye Feng shook his right hand and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he felt no discomfort. He almost thought he was about to turn into a legendary hero.

"Who...who are you?" At this moment, an old voice rang out.

Ye Feng looked over and found that the people had stood up and gathered together at some point. An old man walked over and asked Ye Feng a question.

"Um... how should I put it..." Ye Feng scratched his head.

"Are you... Dream?" The old man suddenly noticed the pink sprite beside Ye Feng, examined it carefully, and asked in surprise.

“That’s right.” Mew flicked its tail and floated in front of the old man.

"Lord Dream!" The old man suddenly knelt down on the ground, and the crowd behind him followed suit.

"Huh?" Ye Feng was full of questions. What was wrong with these people? Were there really people with such a high level of prestige in the game "Dream World"?

"Get up. Tell me what happened here." Dreamy had a nonchalant expression on her face.

"Yes." The old man stood up with the people behind him.

"I think Lord Dream should know that our clan has been responsible for guarding the seal of the Super Demon God Hoopa for generations," the old man said.

Dream nodded, and Ye Feng quickly came over to listen as well.

The old man glanced at Ye Feng, knowing he must be with Meng Huan, so he didn't ask any more questions and continued, "For a long time, nothing happened at the seal, and our lives were quite peaceful. But one day, the shrine where the seal was located suddenly exploded, and an elf that we had never seen before appeared."

As the old man spoke, he looked into the distance. Ye Feng followed his gaze and saw that it was the other side of the square, the direction they were originally heading.

! !

Ye Feng was suddenly shocked to discover that there was a person lying in the square, and judging from the clothes, it looked like him?

Ye Feng was startled and couldn't help but touch his body up and down. Suddenly, he remembered what Meng Huan had said about this being a spiritual world, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had died and his soul had left his body.

"How long ago was that?" Dream, oblivious to Ye Feng's panic, asked the old man.

The old man fell silent, as if deep in thought, and finally shook his head: "That elf was shrouded in black mist, which seemed to have the effect of corroding the mind. We were in a state of confusion after we died, and we only just came to our senses. I don't know how much time has passed."

Ye Feng was in a daze; it was the first time he had faced life and death head-on.

In my past life, when I was a child, I attended the funeral of an elder in my family, but unfortunately I was too young to remember it clearly.

How could this old man be so indifferent to life and death? Moreover, looking at the people behind him, they showed almost no emotional fluctuation when talking about death, whereas at the beginning, they were very excited when talking about the destruction of the seal.

Mew pondered. The seal seemed to have been broken. Could it be Hoopa who did all this? But the old man said he had never seen a spirit before. Could it not be Hoopa?

"Haven't you seen that elf before? What does it look like? Isn't it Hoopa?"

The old man shook his head: "I'm pretty sure it's not Hoopa. We couldn't really see what it looked like, but it started causing chaos everywhere it appeared... We couldn't stop it... We don't even know what happened to the seal..."

The old man fell silent, seemingly more concerned with whether the seal he had guarded for generations had been damaged than with his own life or death.

However, he also knew that the seal was most likely gone.

"You don't need to worry about the sealing; leave it to me," Dream said.

"Since Lord Dream says so, then this old man can rest assured." The old man breathed a sigh of relief, his figure seeming to fade slightly. He looked at Ye Feng with deep regret, "Child, I'm sorry, we really couldn't control ourselves..."

"It's nothing." Ye Feng quickly shook his head. Although he had been attacked, he was ultimately unharmed, and since the attacker was no longer there, there was no need to dwell on it.

"To express my apology, I have some things in my basement that I'll give you as compensation," the old man said.

"Um, actually, it's not necessary..."

"Take it. Do you want the old man to die with a heavy heart?" the old man said, his body growing even paler.

"Okay, thank you." Ye Feng paused for a moment, then accepted.

"Thank you." The old man smiled slightly, his body twisted, and he turned into specks of light and disappeared on the spot.

As the old man disappeared, the crowd behind him bowed to Ye Feng and his group, then vanished along with him, turning into specks of light.

···

Ye Feng opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused for a moment, and sat up with Gardevoir's help.

He looked around and saw that the gray circles on the square had disappeared, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

"Woo~" Latios and Latias came closer.

"I'm fine, thank you all." Ye Feng smiled and patted their heads.

While they were fighting in the spiritual world, the brother and sister were protecting Ye Feng from the outside world with drops of heart water.

"Let's go check the seal first." Dream circled around Ye Feng, carefully checked him over to make sure he was alright, and then urged him on.
