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

"Leave?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what this is?"

“Of course I know.” Morishige Sakutaro licked his lips, a greedy expression on his face. “This is a legendary treasure that can greatly enhance a Pokémon’s strength. Once I have this…”

Treasure? Ye Feng sneered, "You must be tired of living."

"By the way, where are the brother and sister? Aren't they with you?" Ye Feng suddenly realized that only Morishige Sakutaro was there. Where were the Mochida brother and sister?

Were they hiding in the shadows, planning to ambush me?

"Them? They're too cowardly; they just ran away." Morishige Sakutaro said with disdain. "When they first heard there was treasure, they were the first to shout that they wanted to come and find it, but... heh heh!"

"You're talking too much nonsense. Just leave now and I might spare your life." Morishige Sakutaro was getting impatient.

"Spare my life?" Ye Feng found it amusing. Such a cliché was too much. Was he planning to ambush him from behind while he was away?

“That’s right, if you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for being ruthless…” Morishige Sakutaro said, reaching for the Poké Ball at his waist.

"So, it seems your so-called paranormal research department is all a lie?"

“No, it’s precisely because we study the supernatural that we know there are treasures here,” Morishige Sakutaro said.

So that's how it is... It seems some villagers survived and escaped, even writing horror stories that circulated online? Ye Feng thought to himself, "I'm already in such a terrible state, why would I want to harm others?"

Sure enough, he is not a good person.

"Looks like you don't want to leave, then don't blame me." Seeing that Ye Feng hadn't moved an inch after talking for so long, Morishige Sakutaro sneered and took off the three Poké Balls.

Ye Feng looked at Morishige Sakutaro with a strange expression.

"I noticed that you're quite strong. It's a pity that your strongest Pokémon are all fighting that black giant, right? How much strength do you have left?" Morishige Sakutaro said smugly.

"You can give it a try," Ye Feng said calmly.

"Hmph! Die! Go, Drapion, Mt. Dust, Weezing!" Morishige Sakutaro threw out three Poké Balls in a row.

"Are they all Poison-type Pokémon? Poisonous Pokémon, and the human doesn't seem like a good person either... Sorry, I didn't mean to insult Pokémon, I was referring to the human." Ye Feng thought to himself.

Dragon King Scorpion... Ye Feng squinted at the familiar deep purple sprite.

"Although it's not the same one, I'm sorry, but I really hate the Dragon King Scorpion!" Ye Feng said in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Morishige Sakutaro didn't hear clearly and asked subconsciously.

"It's nothing. Gyarados, Arcanine, Togekiss, I'll leave them to you." Ye Feng said calmly.

The three spirits stepped forward and confronted Morishige Sakutaro's spirits.

"Keep it down, I need to figure out how to handle this stone slab." Ye Feng said, turning around and squatting down to examine the stone slab.

When Morishige Sakutaro saw Ye Feng looking down on him so much, he was so angry that his nose almost twisted, and he roared and ordered his Pokémon to attack.

···

Ye Feng tried the ritual to shrink the stone slab, but found that the connection between him and the slab seemed to be blocked by something. The slab only trembled slightly and then stopped moving.

The shrinking ritual doesn't seem to be working. Is it because it's too contaminated? This is a bit troublesome.

Ye Feng ignored the sounds of battle explosions and Morishige Sakutaro's roar coming from behind him.

"Are there any spirits that possess the ability to purify?" Ye Feng frowned.

Neither his past life nor this one had ever seen such a situation before, and Ye Feng couldn't think of a solution for the time being.

The polluted stone slab could not be shrunk, and Ye Feng dared not bring it back to the World Tree casually, in case it had any impact on the World Tree.

"Forget it, I'll just bring Dream in and let it have its own headache." With that thought, Ye Feng felt much more relaxed.

Ye Feng had figured things out, and the battle on the other side had also ended.

Looking at the Pokémon lying on the ground, besides the initial three, Morishige Sakutaro later sent out the remaining three—of which Drapion was beaten the worst, and Morishige Sakutaro himself looked terrified. Ye Feng smiled and said, "How about it? Still want to kill me?"

"You...you...you..." Morishige Sakutaro pointed at Ye Feng, his finger trembling as he said, "How can you be so strong?"

He clearly saw Ye Feng leave the four elves on the ground to fight the giant.

"I'm strong? No, no, no, you're too weak." Ye Feng held up a finger and wagged it. "I really don't know how you passed the advanced trainer assessment. Are your standards that low?"

"You!" Morishige Sakutaro trembled with anger, but he had lost so badly that his six Pokémon couldn't beat the opponent's three, so he had no words to refute it.

Especially that Gyarados, it's terrifying! The power of its tail is ridiculous! And every time I lose a Pokémon, it gets stronger. Four of my six Pokémon were taken down by it.

The last two were even blasted away by Gyarados's tail.

Ye Feng smiled. The reason he was so confident in letting Gyarados and the others fight alone was naturally because he had taken into account Gyarados's characteristics.

If they work together to defeat a Pokémon, causing Gyarados to become overconfident, and with the added boost from Dragon Dance, Morishige Sakutaro clearly lacks the qualities expected of a high-level trainer, and the strength of his Pokémon is likely to be limited.

With its overconfidence and Dragon Dance move, plus the advanced Inch Shot XX Tail, Gyarados can easily crush its opponent without any pressure.

Arcanine and Togekiss were just bystanders in this battle; if they weren't worried about losing face by not having any achievements, they would have been ready to just watch the show after the first Pokémon fell.

Chapter 317 Purifying the Stone Slab with Sacred Fire

"That's mine! You can't take it!"

Having lost all ability to fight back, Morishige Sakutaro knelt on the ground, repeating the same sentence over and over as if possessed.

"Yours?" Ye Feng frowned. Had this person lost his mind? What right did he have...? Could it be...?

"Are you a descendant of the villagers of this village?" Ye Feng asked in surprise.

“That’s right!” Morishige Sakutaro suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining with longing.

Ye Feng frowned. For a moment, he really wanted to kill this person. If he could just fake the scene and make it seem like the giant was the murderer, there shouldn't be any problem. Even the Mochida siblings, who weren't there, could become witnesses.

However, he ultimately did not kill him. Although it is common for trainers to lose their lives in the wild, Ye Feng is not the kind of person who kills people indiscriminately.

It's not some kind of saintly act. Taking lives is easy to say, but this isn't the end of the world. If it were done, it would happen again and again. Once it becomes a habit, people might lose their humanity...

Ye Feng chose to knock the man unconscious and leave him aside for the time being.

As for what happened next...

Ye Feng came to Japan directly through Xiao Hupa's loophole, leaving no border crossing record. Based on a few people's statements, without any evidence, no one can do anything to him.

Even if Morishige Sakutaro were to tell others, would anyone believe him? In fact, if what happened here were to be exposed, Morishige Sakutaro himself would be the first to suffer.

The next problem is the stone slab...

Ye Feng looked at the dark stone slab and summoned Little Huba through the scooping ring.

"Little Feng!" As soon as Little Huba came out, he hugged Ye Feng's head.

"Whoa! What are you doing! Let go, I can't see anything!" Ye Feng yelled, finally managing to pull the little handkerchief off.

"Little Feng, the energy cubes are all gone!" Little Huba said coquettishly, biting her finger. Her unique voice sent a shiver down Ye Feng's spine.

"How come you finished it all? Didn't I make you a lot?" Ye Feng was shocked. Little Huba could eat so much!

"But I'm so bored, I can only eat to pass the time, and then it's all gone..." Little Huba said, scratching his head sheepishly.

"Alright, I'll make it for you when we get back. Is Dreamy there?" Ye Feng sighed.

"It's not here!" Little Huba said happily, spinning around in the air.

"This is tricky," Ye Feng said, looking at the stone slab with a headache.

The tainted stone slab looked too eerie, and Ye Feng dared not touch it casually. The shrinking ritual was useless, and he couldn't move it anyway. Letting Gyarados or Aggron move it, or letting Gengar swallow it, would be even worse, as it would have a bad effect on the Pokémon.

"What's wrong, Xiao Feng?" Little Huba noticed Ye Feng's troubled expression and couldn't help but ask.

Ye Feng briefly explained what had happened to Xiao Hupa.

"This... Hoopa doesn't know either." Little Hoopa tilted his head.

"I know you don't know." Ye Feng had no intention of relying on Little Huba at all. The Super Demon God was a thing of the past; it was just a child now.

"Mysterious isn't here... Should we ask Ho-Oh for help?" Ye Feng thought for a moment. Maybe Ho-Oh could help? If Ho-Oh couldn't do it, we could always ask Xerneas.

But I just asked it for help before, and it seems a bit unreasonable to bother it again after only a few days... Wait a minute, finding the stone tablet is no small matter, Xerneas shouldn't refuse.

"Little Huba, take me to find the Phoenix King first!" Ye Feng said.

"Okay, no problem!" Little Huba said, about to throw out the scooping ring.

"Wait!" Ye Feng suddenly remembered that Gengar and the others were still fighting the black giant, so he had to go and check on their situation first.

"Just dump this guy somewhere random," Ye Feng said, glancing at Morishige Sakutaro lying on the ground.

"Oh!" Little Huba floated over, glanced curiously at Morishige Sakutaro, and used her telekinesis to grab him and throw him into the scooping ring.

Ye Feng didn't ask where it was lost; it was none of his business...

Back on the ground, all was quiet. Ye Feng suddenly panicked. Had something happened?

They rushed to the spot where they had fought the black giant and were shocked to find a huge block of ice standing there, while Gengar and the others sat casually on the ground, seemingly chatting.

Kingdra suddenly turned and shot a freezing ray at the ice block.

"Did they freeze the giant? Who came up with that idea? So clever!" Ye Feng smiled.

Since Gengar and the others were alright, Ye Feng could leave without worry. After saying goodbye to them, Hoopa threw out a scoop ring, opening the passage to Ho-Oh's Secret Realm.

After meeting Phoenix King, Ye Feng told it about the stone slab.

"The stone slab has been contaminated?" Ho-Oh frowned. Humans really know how to cause trouble.
