Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Dark Scale Masked Guard!"

"Gengar!"

Chi Hong and Shen Yuzhi immediately summoned their pets and Pokémon.

"What the hell?" Shen Yuzhi was taken aback. It was another new pet beast that he had never seen before!

Hehe~

Gengar stood behind Chi Hong, its paws resting on Chi Hong's shoulders. It was dark and had a large, grinning mouth.

"It's too monotonous, Yuzhi. This is the only one you can show off. How can this surpass A-grade?"

Chi Hong chuckled mockingly.

"Heh, I'll find some time to surpass A-level and show you!" Shen Yuzhi sneered, not intimidated at all.

At that moment, Ink suddenly shouted, "Only five minutes! If you can't finish in five minutes, stop immediately!"

"Never be reckless!"

"Now, I'm going to reveal that thing!"

As soon as the ink finished speaking, the face of the human-face flower emerged from the middle of the flower, connected by intertwined roots.

The face stopped its sinister laughter and stared intently at the mercury at Professor Yan's feet.

Under the gaze of this face, the mercury bubbled like boiling water. Professor Yan suddenly lost his motion and his head drooped down. Night Patrol supported his body, keeping him standing.

wow~~

It was just a layer of mercury, about the size of a puddle of water, yet it stirred up a wave, and a ferocious claw emerged from it. The claw pressed down on the ground, as if something was about to come out.

"Once that thing appears, immediately launch a ranged attack. Absolutely avoid physical contact, otherwise..."

"Gengar! Pull that thing out and throw it over there!!" Before Ink could finish speaking, Chi Hong gave the command, and Gengar's round body floated up and rushed over at lightning speed.

"Hehehe!!"

Gengar continued to laugh, stretched out its little paws and grabbed the claw, then pulled it outwards with a sharp tug!

It dragged out a monster that was completely black and sticky all over.

The monster's head was a jumbled mess, as if it had been doused with sulfuric acid, like melted tar that had come to life!

"Hehehe..."

A wicked grin came from that sticky face!

"Too hasty! You'll get cursed if you run into something like this!" Mo Zhi frowned, already preparing to stop his connection with Professor Yan's mental energy. He had to save Chi Hong first.

"curse?"

"A cursed Gengar?"

"This is ridiculous!"

Chi Hong didn't want to explain to Mo Zhi for the time being; it was too much trouble to explain to someone who didn't understand Pokémon.

For example, when you're playing Pokémon, a typical team might be six legendary Pokémon, but to someone who doesn't know anything about Pokémon, it just looks like six Pikachu.

"well?"

"Hehehe~~~~"

Gengar was initially puzzled. Was this thing trying to scare it?

So Gengar dragged the monster into the air, opened its mouth wide, and began to lick the monster fiercely with its huge tongue!

"Stop! That's filthy!!" Chi Hong exclaimed in alarm, trying to stop Gengar, but it was too late.

After Gengar finished licking, it opened its mouth to a terrifying degree and swallowed the monster whole. Then it floated in mid-air, scratching its head with a small hand while chewing.

A few seconds later.

"Ugh~~~"

Gengar spat the monster onto the ground and raised its hands, making a big face at the monster.

The monster was stunned!

For a moment, it didn't know where to go or what to do!

That chubby, dark purple thing seemed to be saying to it, "Hey bro, you smell so good~~~"

"ah?!!!"

"It's immune to curses?" Shen Yuzhi didn't know what to say. That big, dark purple fleshy ball that looked so mischievous seemed to be completely immune to curses!

"It would be hard for you to understand even if I explained it to you. In short, based on my current experience, the characteristics will be rationalized to a certain extent."

"My Gengar is cursed."

Chi Hong looked at the Gengar in the air, as if he were talking to Shen Yuzhi, or as if he were talking to himself.

The Gengar in the air was clutching its stomach and laughing, and Chi Hong had no idea what it was laughing at...

Gengar seems to have a very low threshold for laughter!

"Gurgle..." The slimy monster made a strange sound and stood up.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Upon hearing this sound, Chi Hong immediately thought of his big, silly bird, so he pulled out the crystal that had been compressed from the secret realm.

He was going to amplify the silly bird and spread the curse!

Shen Yuzhi wasn't worried at all. Being by Chi Hong's side was reassuring. He knew exactly what kind of pet beasts Chi Hong had!

A silly bird with green flames emanating from its shell, and a handsome bird with black and red aura...

In short, both large birds should be in the S-class!

"Gengar~~"

Gengar suddenly stopped smiling, stretched out its chubby little arm towards Chi Hong, and then performed a set of movements similar to Kamen Rider's transformation, with a serious look in its eyes.

"Oh no, I'm not used to it when it gets serious..."

Chi Hong put away the crystal. Of course he knew what Gengar wanted to do. This big purple ball wanted to Mega Evolve!

Suddenly, Professor Yan's body began to tremble, and streams of mercury crawled out of his body and gathered on the sticky monster.

Chi Hong probed the monster but found no information; it was probably just a remnant of a pet or ferocious beast's skill.

"Looks fierce..."

Chi Hong narrowed his eyes, ready to get started!

"It actually came out all on its own?!" Ink's pupils shrank. He had gone to so much trouble to create only half of the curse, and then because that big purple ball had licked it like a lollipop, it became angry and all of it came out and gathered together?

The cursed liquid gathered together, and the monster's size began to grow, eventually forming a huge head with two horns.

Its target wasn't Gengar, but instead it turned around, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed Professor Yan whole.

"Stop it! Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain!"

Ink's eyes widened, and he shouted a warning: although the curse had been forced out, an even more dangerous situation had arisen!

"Damn it!"

"Gengar! Mega Evolve next time!"

Chi Hong raised his hand and recalled Gengar, then enlarged the Poké Ball and threw it out again!

The sky instantly turned red and black, and streaks of lightning appeared!

The intense pressure shook the area, but it seemed that a certain aura was firmly locked onto the monster formed by the curse, rendering it unable to move and paralyzing its entire body!

Gigantamax!

The ink raised its head, paused for a few seconds, and uttered a few words, "What the hell is this?"

Everything before my eyes was dark and distorted, seemingly a giant black hole!

The cave was like a gateway to hell, exuding an aura of danger!

"Wait... this is... a mouth???"

The ink raised its head again, and only then could it be barely made out that it was a gaping mouth!

"Gengar~~"

Gengar let out a deep, resonant voice, followed by a suction force that drew the materialized form of the curse into its mouth.

Then its size began to shrink, and eventually it turned back into that round, dark purple fat creature.

Hehehehe~~

It floated in mid-air, touching its belly and laughing incessantly.

I almost laughed until I cried...

"What's so funny about it?"

Chi Hong was at his wit's end...
