The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 181 Fujima and Rotom's Rescue Plan

The reception room of the Water Stillness Dojo is located on the east side of the first floor of the main castle. It is a formal reception room decorated with dark oak wainscoting.

When Lin Ye pushed open the door, an elderly man was sitting upright on the sofa. He was wearing a dark gray Japanese martial arts uniform with the martial arts dojo's emblem engraved on the back.

When the martial arts representative saw Lin Ye enter, he didn't get up. He just nodded slightly, looked him over with a playful look in his eyes, and then got straight to the point: "I am Fujima, an elder of the martial arts family. I have heard that Master Lin is very promising at a young age and has become the second commoner after Master Qianli to obtain the Alliance's Master appointment certificate. I admire him very much."

However, the Alola route has been a livelihood for generations in Boomtown, with trainers and boatmen in the town relying on it for their income.

The dock dispatching staff number no less than 10,000 people, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they represent the core interests of our family.

Now, with just a few words, Master Lin has snatched such a huge piece of meat to Shuijing City, completely disregarding our martial arts dojo.

I've come in person today to ask Master Lin for the honor of canceling this contract and restoring the original flight route. Our martial arts family will remember this favor.

Lin Ye sat down opposite him and waited for him to finish before speaking slowly: "Mr. Fujima, you flatter me. But regarding the shipping route, it was the company from Alola that took the initiative to approach us. As the largest commercial port in Hoenn, Lilycove City has no reason to refuse a cooperation that is offered to us."

I have no intention of opposing your family, but business cooperation is not a hereditary domain. Please forgive me for not being able to agree to such an unreasonable request.

Fujima's face darkened, and the corners of his mouth turned down. The air in the reception room became thick with silence for a long time afterward.

Then, Lin Ye and Fujima from the martial arts dojo each gave their own detailed explanations of the dangers, but they were each talking past each other and neither could convince the other.

Finally, Fujima stood up abruptly, without even saying a polite goodbye, and said without turning his head, "Then I hope the Lilycove Gym's route will be calm and peaceful."

"Hmph, they really don't take me seriously! But thinking about it, it makes sense. In their eyes, I'm just a commoner who got lucky and at most happened to raise one or two 'Gym Leader' level Pokémon. How could I possibly be qualified to communicate with their martial arts families on an equal footing?"

Lin Ye squinted and muttered to himself, "Gengar, go and inform the ghost brothers in Lilycove City to patrol more carefully and be wary of suspicious individuals."

"Brother Jian, please go to Mount Songshen in person and tell those ghosts involved that there may be a major battle soon, so that they can assemble their forces and prepare for battle, ready to be dispatched at any time."

After explaining all this, Lin Ye rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile, "I was originally planning to rest for a few days, but now it seems I need to go to the top of Mount Song as soon as possible."

But before that, we need to take care of that guy's matter first.

After saying that, Lin Ye reached out and grabbed at his own shadow, producing a bright orange-yellow plasma sphere in his hand.

The orange-red sphere glowed dimly, its entire body wreathed in faint golden sparks.

The next moment, with a flash of light in his eyes, the indigo necromantic magic swirling around Lin Ye's fingertips seeped into the sphere of light like fine threads.

In an instant, the dim light of the orange-red sphere suddenly shone, and the golden arcs of electricity surrounding it also bounced and leaped powerfully.

This plasma sphere was naturally the Rotom whose origin was damaged. After Lin Ye took it out, its energy was severely depleted, and it was getting weaker day by day, on the verge of completely dissipating.

However, because Lin Ye had been injecting ghost energy into it from time to time, its condition had improved considerably, and it was even able to have simple soul communication with it.

Although it had improved considerably, the plasma sphere still couldn't coalesce into Rotom's original form. It could only barely take on a blurry shape, opening one weak, lifeless eye and staring blankly at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye had already learned through questioning that this Rotom was a Pokémon raised by a direct descendant of the Violet Gym. That trainer was a distant nephew of Tie Xuan, who was talented but too clever for his own good, and spent his days thinking about strange experiments that others would not bother to try.

Until one day, the trainer had a sudden inspiration: since Rotom can possess a single electrical appliance, could it possess the central unit of an entire power plant?

That's the core of Violet City's power system, controlling all the city's power transmission and distribution networks. If Rotom can successfully integrate into that unit, his theoretical combat power increase will far exceed his current strength.

Rotom was so captivated by the grand vision he had painted that he jumped right in without a second thought, only to have an accident happen as soon as he got involved.

The generator set's power far exceeded the limits that its own class could withstand. The enormous amount of electricity poured into its plasma core like a flood bursting its banks, instantly knocking it out of its mind.

Its trainer, seeing the situation was turning bad, immediately fled, leaving Rotom alone in the out-of-control generator.

Afterwards, Rotom gradually became intoxicated by the surge in power, feeling invincible, and began to cause trouble, frantically absorbing the power plant's electricity.

Now, its source has become extremely weak due to the impact of those crazy electric currents and Lin Ye's forced extraction.

As a result, since it was removed from the generator, its soul power has been weakening day by day, and it feels like it could completely dissipate at any moment.

If Lin Ye hadn't forcibly used necromancy to prolong its life these past few days, Rotom would probably have already disintegrated and disappeared from this world.

Because its spirituality was severely damaged, this Rotom was unable to even use its possession ability.

Its energy level surpasses that of a typical "Gym Leader" when it possesses a generator, and now it even surpasses its own "Professional" level.

Their skill level is far from up to par.

Originally, if no miracle had occurred, this Rotom would have been useless, and that's what it thought itself.

But it just so happens to run into Lin Ye, a necromancer with extensive experience, who actually came up with a solution over the past few days.

"Perhaps I can help you live again!"

Upon hearing this, Rotom's weak, single eye finally lit up for once, and he said, "Master, you really do have a way. You truly deserve to be called a great mage who can extend my life for so long. What should we do now?"

"Your plasma can no longer sustain itself independently, which is the fundamental reason why you can't possess electrical appliances or restore your original form."

But your core consciousness remains, and that is the true soul core of the Ghost Pokémon.

"And I will merge your plasma with my magic, and I will become your electrical appliance."

Rotom's plasma flashed violently, and a look of terror appeared in his eyes.
