The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 189 Taming the Monkey

After returning to Pinghai Village, Lin Ye and Teng Shu went straight to the village chief's house. When they arrived, the two were carrying large and small bags out, clearly intending to flee in fear of punishment.

The blond-haired youth was seen strapping several bulging spatial backpacks onto the back of a Tauros, while his father, the village chief, carefully carried a spatial backpack out of the door.

The two probably didn't expect that Tengshu would arrive so quickly. When they saw him appear before them, and that he had brought back Infernape, they didn't even have the courage to explain. The things they were packing fell to the ground.

The blond man's legs went limp as if his bones had been removed, and he collapsed to his knees on the path strewn with broken seashells.

His village elder father looked ashen-faced, then sighed, opened the space backpack he was carefully holding, and poured out some remaining and used test tubes or needles.

"Young master, this was a decision I made in a moment of confusion. My son doesn't know much about this, so please show him leniency."

"That depends on whether you can tell the truth!"

In an effort to secure leniency for his child, the old village chief explained in detail: "These things were bought from merchants from Alora!"

"Alola? When did Alola merchants arrive in our Brawler's Town?"

"They appear every time a cargo ship from Alora docks; they must have come by riding on the cargo ship."

Sometimes they would bring over some rare items they got from over there. I bought some from them, and we became familiar with each other over time.

Later, when he learned that I wanted my son to do well in the martial arts competition, he recommended this banned drug to me, and I, in a moment of confusion,...

"Which organization do the Alora merchants who came with the cargo ship belong to?"

"Okay~, I think it's called something like Ether Paradise!"

"Ether Paradise!"

Lin Ye silently repeated the name in his mind. He was very familiar with this name: the largest science and ecological conservation organization in the Alora region.

In the original games, it was a behemoth, ostensibly a non-profit organization researching Pokémon conservation and ecological balance, but in reality, it secretly conducted many experiments that skirted the edges of League regulations.

In fact, because the Alola region has not yet been accepted by the League, many projects that the League does not explicitly approve of have gone there to carry out their projects.

The Etherland is one of the most famous of them. It is located on an artificial island that it has developed entirely on its own. It has its own armed forces and order, and it is no exaggeration to call it an independent kingdom.

"Besides you, are there any other people on the island who have a partnership with Etherland?"

"I don't know the exact number, but according to the representative of Ether Paradise, the big shots at the martial arts dojo have all cooperated with them."

Teng Shu frowned, feeling that things were somewhat beyond his control and expectations. He then said, "From today onwards, your position as village chief is revoked. I will send someone to take over in the future."

As for the two of you, detain you for now, and we'll deal with the doping issue after the law enforcement department has finished its investigation.

But at that moment, the Infernape, controlled by Çalamkhu and suspended in the air, began to twitch violently, and its heartbeat was so loud that it could be heard several meters away.

"What's wrong now!"

This time, before Teng Shu could even speak, Lin Ye had already made his move.

His right hand spread its five fingers, and indigo necromantic power surged from his palm. His spiritual energy seeped into the body of the Inferno Monkey, soothing every damaged nerve and muscle.

The convulsions of the Infernal Monkey finally subsided completely. Its limbs no longer arched back, its heartbeat gradually returned to a normal frequency, and the blood red in its pupils had faded considerably, replaced by a look of utter exhaustion.

It glanced at Lin Ye, then closed its eyes again and peacefully fell asleep.

"Lin Ye~, you~~"

"Sorry~, I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but the situation is urgent, so I'll just drop the pretense and come clean: I'm a superhuman."

"A superhuman? What kind of ability is that? I don't think I've ever seen one before."

As the heir to the dojo, Fujiki was a man of great knowledge and experience, yet he still couldn't understand what Lin Ye's energy was.

Lin Ye withdrew his necromancy and said calmly, "My special ability is related to the ghost element; you can think of it as 'ghost power.'"

Lin Ye stroked his chin, circled the unconscious Infernape, and continued, "This Infernape's body has been pushed to its limit; normal breeding methods are no longer feasible for it."

Tengshu nodded in agreement: "That's right. Its body was on the verge of collapse. The fact that it's still alive shows its strong willpower."

In fact, it has one more chance to evolve, and it will be a Ghost-type Abandoned Monkey.

Once evolution is complete, its life form will also transform into a ghostly form, which can change this situation.

Unfortunately, not to mention that its body is so hollowed out that it is in no way able to complete the evolution.

It's possible that, given its current mental state, it won't be able to learn the "Fist of Wrath," and learning this skill would...

The most important step in the evolution of the abandoned monkey.

Now it seems it's afraid... You just said you possess "ghostly power," could you help it?

"I'm not 100% sure, but I have helped some Pokémon regain their lives before, so maybe I can give it a try."

As he spoke, a three-meter-long, dark-tailed black fish emerged from his shadow, hovering and swaying in the air around Lin Ye.

"This is... the legendary Dark Tail Fish, which was said to have been extinct for a hundred years, and you have actually recreated it."

"It's not a creation, but just a coincidence that allowed a special warrior bass to evolve. If it were to happen again in a different place, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much of a chance."

"Brother Lin Ye, there's no need to worry. I have no intention of prying into your secrets, and I certainly don't have any improper thoughts about your Nether Tail Black Fish."

I just want to know if you're really confident you can save this fiery monkey.

I wouldn't say I'm absolutely certain, but I'm about 50% confident.

"Alright~, with Brother Lin Ye's words, that's enough!" Teng Shu said, then turned to the blond-haired man and said, "You don't care about your Pokémon at all, you don't deserve to be a Primeape trainer, hand over the Poké Ball now."

"Yes, yes, yes~~"

The blond-haired man patted himself down for a while, and finally handed over the Poké Ball with trembling hands. In the end, he even dropped it on the ground because he was shaking so badly.

Tengshu shook his head, personally picked up the Poké Ball, and had the village officials take the father and son away and imprison them. Finally, he handed the ball to Lin Ye: "This Primeape is pitiful. I hope Brother Lin Ye can give it a new lease on life!"

"I will definitely do my best!"

Lin Ye nodded, accepted the Poké Ball containing the Primeape, and headed to Dew Town with Teng Shu.
