Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

They look like lanterns made from pumpkins.

Pumpkin spirit!

These dual-type Ghost and Grass Pokémon, originally registered in the Kalos region, have appeared in this place that resembles the spirit world.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to recognize them. After all, the Carlos region has only recently been incorporated into the Alliance's territory and has not yet been fully controlled. The resistance from the Alliance to the Carlos region is not insignificant.

This has resulted in the fact that the Pokémon registered in the Karus region have not yet been included in the current more "complete" Pokémon catalog.

Upon seeing the pumpkin spirit, Xia Yan suddenly had a very bold idea.

Chapter 78 Conception and Scripture

Pumpkin Spirit, along with another Pokémon registered in the Kalos region, the Ghost-type and Grass-type Wood Spirit, and its evolved form Wood Spirit, all possess abilities that no other Pokémon in the entire Pokémon world has.

That is to add a type to any non-Ghost or non-Grass type Pokémon.

For example, Pumpkin Spirit or its evolved form, Pumpkin Monster, can learn a move called "Halloween Night," which can add a Ghost-type attribute to any non-Ghost-type Pokémon.

Wood Spirit and Wood Sprite will learn a move called "Forest Curse," which can add a Grass-type attribute to any non-Grass-type Pokémon.

It doesn't sound that impressive, it's just adding attributes, right?

It's not very practical in the game, but in the world of elves...

Let's imagine.

For example, if Beedrill is surrounded by a group of Rattatas and Pumpkin suddenly adds the Ghost type to it, or if it adds the Ghost type when battling a Fighting-type Pokémon, then its usefulness will be evident.

After all, Ghost-type moves are immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves.

Another example.

Xia Yan is quite familiar with and likes the Rainy Day Team.

Rain teams basically need to be equipped with grass shields and electric shields.

The Electric Shield can be replaced by a Ground or Water-type Swampert, but the downside is that Swampert is four times weak to Grass.

Therefore, a Grass-type Pokémon is especially needed when encountering Grass-type Pokémon.

However, if you use a Wood Spirit to add a Grass-type to each Water-type Pokémon before the battle begins, this situation will be greatly improved and supplemented.

Of course, in a proper all-player battle, off-field operations are not allowed.

However, in a wild encounter, these additional attributes would be much more useful.

However, these are all just Xia Yan's ideas.

Upon seeing Xia Yan and his spirits, the pumpkin spirits did not launch an attack; instead, they displayed a very human-like expression of confusion.

Seeing them floating quietly in the air, Xia Yan suddenly remembered.

He is no longer within the territory of Goldenrod City, but in another space. Not all wild elves are hostile to humans or have violent personalities.

Although Pumpkin Spirit is a Ghost-type Pokémon, it has a relatively gentle personality and prefers to live deep in the mountains and forests.

When faced with lost travelers, they will even volunteer to act as guides.

The premise is that you are not scared by them.

Of course, pumpkin spirits also carry some souls that cannot be reborn to the spirit world, and they will coexist with these souls.

The size of a pumpkin spirit is closely related to the number of souls that live with it.

Seeing that the group of pumpkin spirits did not attack, Xia Yan gave Togepi a wink.

Ask them if they've seen Anci.

Pokerby immediately understood what Xia Yan meant.

"Cha-ke-yi, cha-ke-yi..."

He gestured as he tried to communicate with the pumpkin spirits.

Seeing what Pokopi was gesturing, Xia Yan's forehead creased with a few black lines.

This guy is just gesturing with a green onion!

Where are the monks?

The bald head of the young monk Anci is the main focus, okay?

Upon hearing Togepi's words and its "vivid" gestures, the pumpkin spirits exchanged glances and then all looked in the direction they were heading.

The meaning is clear.

"Chocolate!"

Get it!

Pokerby gave Xia Yan an "OK" sign.

Xia Yan: "..."

No, Pumpkin Spirits, did you really understand what Togepi was looking for?

And Togepi, where do you get such confidence...?

Forget it.

Let's consider this a wasted effort and continue according to the original plan.

The appearance of this group of pumpkin spirits further confirmed Xia Yan's suspicion that this place was the spirit world.

Unsurprisingly, this place really might be the spirit world.

They continued on their journey for a while.

We arrived at the edge of this dense forest.

Xia Yan slowly stopped walking.

He could clearly feel his physical strength waning and his mental state declining.

During the day, I was busy completing the Trainer Guild's missions, wandered around the sewers for a long time, and even battled a Lily with a Trainer.

By the time I finished delivering the task, drew the prize, and went back, it was already quite late.

They inexplicably entered a place that seemed to be the spirit world, and then maintained a high level of concentration to walk a considerable distance.

His temples were throbbing, a warning that his condition had reached the limit of what his body could bear.

It's time to rest.

I found a large tree with a relatively thick trunk.

"Togepi, Secret Power, create a space."

“It’s just right.”

Pokopi jumped off him.

Upon reaching the tree, as its palm rested on the trunk, a small passage appeared.

Recall Pidgey, take a few Pokémon into the space created by the secret power, and then have Togepi seal the entrance.

Thus, a relatively safe temporary dwelling is created.

It has to be said that the Secret Power move is really useful in the wild.

I took out energy cubes to prepare food for the elves, ate a few pieces of bread and drank some water until I felt full, and that was enough.

Xia Yan has never been particular about food. As long as he can fill his stomach and get the various elements he needs every day, it doesn't matter much to him what he eats.

Kathy, who had entered a deep meditation, also woke up at this time.

"Ke Xi?"

Casey found it amazing.

Normally, after exercising its superpowers for a period of time, it will feel very tired and will need a long period of sleep to replenish the energy it has consumed.

But this time, it seemed very energetic, even somewhat excited.

He was in incredibly good spirits, just like when he had just woken up.

Xia Yan also sensed Casey's condition and was somewhat surprised.

"Casey, aren't you going to sleep?" Xia Yan asked in surprise.

"Kexie—"

Casey shook her head firmly.

A deep blue halo swirled in his slightly open eyes, and his superpowers seemed to be surging with excitement.

Amid Xia Yan's confusion, Casey slowly recounted how it felt during its meditation.

It seems that in that meditative state, time passes in an instant; the moment you open and close your eyes, time is gone.

And it could clearly sense that its superpowers had improved considerably.

"The scripture written by Anci has such a special effect?"

Xia Yan no longer doubted An Ci's claim of being the monk of the Bell Tower.

Then the problem is coming.

Do the monks of the Bell Tower worship gods or Buddhas, or Ho-Oh, or some other being?

If one worships Ho-Oh, is it possible that this unusual scripture is related to Ho-Oh?

and.

If Casey could really use that state to replace sleep, not even completely, but even just half or a third of his sleep time, the benefits would be enormous.

Casey was unaware of Xia Yan's speculations.

But it knew this was definitely a good thing.

It can sense its own progress.

"Since you're doing pretty well right now, why not try learning 'role-playing'?"

During the day, she won a secret manual for the "Playing Role" moves in a lottery, which was exactly what Casey could learn.
