I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

However, this ghost is quite unique. It needs to be revealed by pouring hot water into a cup. If hot water is not poured in, there will be no sign of it. Moreover, after pouring in hot water, the characters will also change. So this design is actually quite ingenious.

Teng Shu was quite satisfied with this, after all, such a spiritual design was not so common. In his previous life, the designs were very perfunctory and expensive. Teng Shu thought this design was very interesting. Of course, the main reason was that the price of this thing was very cheap.

If this thing were expensive, it wouldn't be a good deal for vines, but since it's cheap now, it's naturally considered a great deal.

However, when he went inside, Teng Shu noticed that there was a couple standing nearby.

Chapter 637 Even the Phoenix King is Afraid of Watching Horror Movies

Looking at the couple beside him, Teng Shu's eyes held a subtle expression, because he had done some research and knew a little about their situation.

The couple's appearance was quite ordinary; they weren't ugly, but they certainly weren't good-looking either. And now he saw a couple next to him who looked almost exactly like the couple he had seen in the news before.

This made Teng Shu's eyes look a little strange. He didn't expect to see such a situation while watching this horror movie. So what was going on?

Do evil spirits from haunted houses come to visit other people's haunted houses and see the evil spirits performing in them? That's quite interesting, but Teng Shu didn't say much because he could sense that this couple wasn't as scary and terrifying as those movies portray.

The couple appeared somewhat gentle on the surface, with both the man and woman wearing smiling faces, provided one didn't see their horrific deaths.

However, Teng Shu also found it strange, since according to the news reports at the time, the cause of death of the couple had indeed been confirmed, and based on some details of the case at the time, it was indeed the general course of events reported in the newspapers.

There shouldn't be any major surprises, so why did this happen? Logically speaking, even if such a vengeful ghost were to die, it would probably be extremely cruel and ferocious, right?

But the couple in front of him looked like ordinary people, which puzzled Teng Shu. However, Teng Shu didn't really understand this, since he had never experienced anything like this before.

Although Tengshu gained the ability to see these dead souls, most of the souls he created were actually relatively normal.

According to Tengshu, most souls remain in this world because they have some obsessions.

After Tengshu arrived in the Spirit Realm, he consulted with some of the long-time residents and confirmed this point: for a soul to remain in this world for a long time, it must have some very deep obsession or resentment.

After all, not everyone can resist that fatal drowsiness. Most people's souls will occasionally fall asleep accidentally one or two days after leaving their bodies. Once they fall asleep, their souls will go directly to the spirit world and will never be able to return to the mortal world.

This is also one of the most unique aspects of the Pokémon world, except that only certain special spirits can remain alive in this world.

Teng Shu paused for a moment when he thought about this. If this matter happened decades ago, the fact that these two souls are still alive means that they have lived in this world for decades. What kind of deep resentment could have led to this situation?

Teng Shu himself didn't know it, but he accidentally made eye contact with the other woman, who tilted her head and looked at him. Then, the woman revealed a chilling smile.

The other man's head fell off and rolled towards Teng Shu. The man saw Teng Shu's eyes at the same time, and his face instantly turned into a terrifying death expression, but Teng Shu remained expressionless.

What a joke! Teng Shu knew very well that even if there were truly evil spirits in this world, they couldn't possibly harm a human being.

Knowing this, Teng Shu acted so recklessly. Moreover, even if this soul really had all sorts of attack abilities like those in some horror movies, it wouldn't be of any use to Teng Shu, because Feng Wang was there for him.

As long as Ho-Oh is there, Tengshu has no worries about any evil spirits. Even if evil spirits of Kayako and Sadako's caliber came, they would probably be hit by Ho-Oh's Flame of Life. So Tengshu is completely indifferent.

As the woman's head rolled over, a hint of excitement appeared on her face. However, before she could get close to the vine, the other woman let out a shrill scream, and then rolled back even faster.

The man also showed a look of horror, because Phoenix King only glanced at them calmly, and at that moment, the man seemed to be ignited by white flames, his whole body burning with white flames.

Teng Shu looked at this scene with a sense of entitlement, because in his opinion, it was not surprising that Phoenix King had such abilities, after all, Phoenix King herself was very powerful.

"You can see them? Oh, right..." Ho-Oh said something, but she didn't finish. Teng Shu was a little curious; Ho-Oh seemed to know something about him.

However, Ho-Oh now showed a curious expression, seemingly just a simple curiosity about why Teng Shu could see these evil spirits. Teng Shu didn't think much about it. He probably knew that Ho-Oh might know something, but he didn't have any intention of investigating. He just smiled and nodded. Of course, he could see these two evil spirits, and even more spirits.

After all, this is the glory of him being the first Deathspeaker in the League, and it has been recognized by the League.

"These things are mostly harmless, because their existence is only strengthened in the place where they die. Otherwise, they mostly just repeat the process of dying over and over again in this world. So you don't need to worry about anything. It's just that if they're sure you can see them, then it'll be a bit troublesome," Phoenix King said with a chuckle. Teng Shu, upon hearing this, became somewhat curious. In this situation, if he was certain he could see these evil spirits, what would they do?

"So what would happen if they knew I could see them?" Teng Shu was a little curious. After all, according to Ho-Oh's description, it didn't matter if they could see him, so logically nothing should happen.

"These guys can't really hurt you, but they'll do some really disgusting things to annoy or scare you. Like suddenly jumping out and startling you, or constantly waving in front of you so you can't eat. They might even take their intestines and other internal organs out and put them in your bowl. While it won't actually have any effect, you'd probably find it disgusting to see." Phoenix King explained, and Teng Shu's lips twitched. These guys really are...

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's watch the movie now. I'm really looking forward to it." Feng Wang said excitedly, while Teng Shu gave Feng Wang a speechless look after hearing this.

In Tengshu's view, the Phoenix King had just beaten the evil spirit in this true story to a pulp, and now these two were still lying on the ground howling in pain.

Now, Ho-Oh is going to watch a movie based on their original story, which is really a bit ridiculous. However, Teng Shu didn't say anything and just stayed by Ho-Oh's side to watch it with him.

While watching, Teng Shu discovered that the story's setting and other elements were indeed somewhat similar to that of a classic horror film. In fact, the way the female ghost made her final appearance was almost exactly the same.

This surprised Teng Shu, because he didn't expect to see such an excellent horror work as Ju-on in this world.

Is Ju-on any good?

This is a highly debated issue. Many people feel that movies like Ju-on are essentially just designed to scare people for the sake of scaring. But the first thing to be clear about is that the primary purpose of horror movies is indeed to scare people.

If a horror movie can't be scary, then it can't really be called a horror movie. So, in Teng Shu's opinion, Ju-on is a very successful horror movie from the perspective of horror films.

Moreover, his storyboards, music, and compositions are all very ingenious, even breaking the traditional concept of the blanket barrier, which is quite surprising.

During the movie, there were occasional screams from people in the theater, but Teng Shu was relatively indifferent this time. Having watched many horror movies in his previous life, he was actually quite unfazed by such basic frights.

The biggest problem with horror movies is that they are very limited. Most of the time, horror movies are inherently limited, and most of the movie formulas are actually just variations on the same theme.

So after watching a lot of these movies, the audience naturally develops a strong resistance to all kinds of scary scenes. Therefore, if a horror movie director wants to make his movie very scary, there are generally two ways. One is to come up with an excellent idea, such as a movie like Ju-on to scare people.

Another approach involves incorporating numerous sudden face-jumping scare scenes. While this method is simple, it is undeniably effective. As a result, many modern horror films rely on sudden face-jumping scares to force a fright, combining a ghostly face in a sudden shot with terrifying music to create a sense of dread.

"But I didn't expect that Ho-Oh would be afraid of watching horror movies." Looking at Ho-Oh, who was trembling and clutching his arm beside him, Teng Shu's expression was somewhat strange.

Because he had just seen Phoenix beat those two evil spirits into this terrible state, Phoenix King was suddenly frightened by the evil spirits in the movie, his body trembling from time to time, and he would let out a terrified scream.

This made Tengshu both amused and exasperated. Even if there were ghosts in the movie, they would be easily killed by Ho-Oh. So, Ho-Oh actually looked surprisingly cute.

"This movie was really good, very scary." After watching the movie, Feng Wang excitedly told Teng Shu, and Teng Shu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Looking at the two evil spirits beside him, whose bodies were half burned and who were barely clinging to life on the ground, Teng Shu glanced at Feng Wang again, and he really didn't know what to say.

"So now that the movie is over, can we..." Teng Shu glanced at his phone. It was still a while before lunchtime, but Teng Shu should probably go back to prepare lunch. Feng Wang blinked and looked at Teng Shu after hearing this.

"Hey, shouldn't a first date involve going out to eat?" Ho-Oh tilted its head and looked at Teng-shu. Teng-shu was also taken aback. Was there really such a thing?

However, it seemed that this was indeed the case. But Teng Shu was still a little worried about the little ones in the orphanage. So, Teng Shu had an idea. He smiled and told Feng Wang that he would go back to the orphanage to cook for her.

Phoenix King was somewhat helpless after hearing this, but she shook her head and agreed when she saw the vine tree in front of her, which surprised the vine tree.

However, Teng Shu didn't say much. Instead, he took Ho-Oh back to the orphanage. After returning to the orphanage, Teng Shu rubbed his hands together. Since he had invited Ho-Oh to have dinner with him, he planned to make a slightly more sumptuous meal as a way of making up for Ho-Oh's absence.

"Why not just make a dry pot shrimp?" Teng Shu looked at the ingredients in his cupboard and made his decision. Dry pot shrimp is a very unique dish, and it tastes pretty good, at least in Teng Shu's opinion.

While Tengshu was busy, Ho-Oh rested its chin on its hand and looked at a Pokémon beside it, which was Minnie Mouse.

"Little guy, I remember you were on the other side before? How did you end up here?" Ho-Oh looked at Mimikyu with some curiosity, while Mimikyu looked surprised, as if it had never expected to meet Ho-Oh in this place.

"I remember you were with your trainer before, right?" Ho-Oh casually patted Mimikyu's head, and Mimikyu shuddered, looking at Ho-Oh with some awe, as if it was saying something.

"So that's how it is..." Ho-Oh also heard what Mimikyu said, and she smiled. If that's how it is, then things will be easier to handle later. She should take it with her.

After all, that trainer is quite interesting.

Chapter 638 The True Meaning of the Welfare Home

"Do you know him?" Teng Shu asked Ho-Oh with some surprise, and Ho-Oh nodded seriously to indicate that he did indeed know Mimikyu.

Upon hearing this, Teng Shu's lips twitched. He never expected that Ho-Oh would know Mimikyu.

After all, in Tengshu's opinion, most Pokémon like Ho-Oh don't have much connection with other non-legendary Pokémon. After all, the Pokémon Ho-Oh has come into contact with before are mostly like Lugia and Jirachi.

As for Pokémon like Mimikyu, to be honest, Tengshu had never really imagined it. But looking at how timid and cowardly it had always been, never daring to show its face, and even spending most of its time hiding in the orphanage, now it had stepped forward and boldly stood beside Ho-Oh.

Teng Shu knew that what Feng Wang said was probably true.

After all, although Mimikyu wasn't exactly an adopted Pokémon from an orphanage, it knew Tengshu very well.

Mimikyu is a very independent Pokémon, and it is also very socially awkward. So most of the time, it will hide or run away from humans as much as possible.

Even with the psychic power of Heart of Eternity, Tengshu sometimes couldn't get close to Mimikyu, so you can imagine how strong Mimikyu's resistance to it is. But unexpectedly, Ho-Oh knew Mimikyu, which caught Tengshu off guard.

However, thinking about it this way, it's actually a good thing, since this way we can send Mimikyu back and reunite it with its trainer.

"So, does Mimikyu have a trainer?" Tengshu asked Ho-Oh curiously, and Ho-Oh nodded to indicate that it did.

Then he even took out his phone and showed it to Teng Shu.

Teng Shu also went over for a look and saw an old woman. She was very old, the kind of woman Teng Shu would have to call "Grandma".

The old lady was smiling as she held a Mimikyu. When Tengshu saw this, he glanced at the remaining Mimikyu. Upon closer inspection, the two Mimikyu did indeed look almost identical, which made Tengshu even more convinced of this.

It seems that Ho-Oh didn't mess around this time. Mimikyu is indeed someone else's Pokémon. Since Ho-Oh knows it, it's a good thing. They can send Mimikyu away. If they send it away, Gastly will probably get bored.

After all, Gastly basically spends all its time playing with Mimikyu, so most of the time when Tengshu sees Mimikyu, he can also see Gastly. Now that Mimikyu is leaving, Gastly will probably feel very lonely.

This made Tengshu think about whether he should talk to Locke about it later. He wanted Locke to keep an eye on Gastly's mental health, otherwise it would be a real problem if Gastly developed a mental illness and became depressed.

So, thinking of this, Tengshu spoke to Ho-Oh and suggested that they could take Mimikyu away, but it would be best to give Mimikyu and Gastly some time to say goodbye.

"What does a Mimikyu trainer do? How do you know a Mimikyu trainer, Ho-Oh?" Tengshu asked curiously. The Mimikyu had already gone to say goodbye to Gastly.

Under these circumstances, Tengshu was naturally able to chat with Ho-Oh, who had met Mimikyu. After hearing this, Ho-Oh's eyes showed a more complex expression. She thought for a moment and then told Tengshu.

It turns out that when Ho-Oh was wandering around aimlessly, it encountered a little girl who was also a trainer. The little girl was very surprised to see Ho-Oh.

However, Ho-Oh later left, and afterwards, the little girl became an outstanding archaeologist, making some very significant discoveries in the field of archaeology.

Fossil Pokémon like the Ice Dragon were actually unearthed by Mimikyu trainers. This is why Mimikyu trainers have a high status. Mimikyu was encountered by the trainer in the Ancient Tomb and unexpectedly saved the trainer's life, which led to the trainer's great affection for it.

Its trainer always brought Mimikyu with them, but something happened later, and Mimikyu was lost.

Moreover, the trainer had been searching for a long time without success and was almost driven to depression. This is why Mimikyu was being brought back so urgently. After all, Ho-Oh's old friend's lifespan was already quite short, and the Mimikyu situation made her even more distressed. Therefore, it was best to send Mimikyu back as soon as possible.

This can also be seen as easing the burden on my old friend's heart, which will also be beneficial to his physical recovery.

"I never expected something like this to happen." Teng Shu was somewhat surprised. He really hadn't thought that such a thing would happen, because Pokémon like Mimikyu was brought back by Kai, and after Kai brought Mimikyu back, he didn't pay much attention to it.

In fact, not only Kai, but even Tengshu himself didn't pay much attention to Mimikyu. In Tengshu's view, Mimikyu's situation was relatively normal and there were no exceptions. Although Mimikyu was Mimikyu, and such Pokémon were relatively rare, Mimikyu was not a Pokémon sent to an orphanage for care, so Tengshu didn't interfere too much.

Instead, he was genuinely doing his own thing, and Fujiki didn't think about doing anything to Mimikyu or adopting it.

Unexpectedly, Mimikyu had its own trainer, and the trainer was even looking for it. This gave Tengshu some new perspectives on his orphanage.

Perhaps his orphanage is not only responsible for abandoned Pokémon, but also for some special cases, such as Pokémon that may have gotten lost or separated from their trainers for various reasons. In such cases, Tengshu feels that his orphanage can also serve as a transit point.

This also made Tengshu realize why there was a small tool in his orphanage's shopping list that allowed him to view information about previous trainers.

"So, in essence, the main purpose of this thing is to find out who the trainers of these lost Pokémon are, and then send these Pokémon back? But thinking about it this way, it seems that my method of using it has been a bit problematic lately." Teng Shu touched his chin and then realized this problem.

In that sense, it does seem to make sense, because Tengshu had always thought that this thing was meant to teach those trainers a lesson.

So that's how vines are used, and because they're relatively inexpensive, people don't feel bad using them.

However, it seems that this thing has another purpose now, namely, to help find Pokémon that have accidentally gone missing.

After all, in the world of Pokémon, there are indeed cases where Pokémon accidentally get lost and can never be found again. This is because in most cases, these Pokémon will coincidentally ride on human vehicles and end up in completely unfamiliar places.

Once you arrive in a completely unfamiliar place, unless it's a special Pokémon, such as a Flying-type Pokémon, it's indeed very difficult for other Pokémon to find their way back.

However, even Flying-type Pokémon, if they have crossed the ocean to another Pokémon League region, will basically be unable to find their way back.

Therefore, these Pokémon are also a rather unique category. These Pokémon are called lost Pokémon. However, because there are so many Pokémon, it is difficult to determine whether a Pokémon is lost or lives in the wild. This also leads to a very low probability that lost Pokémon will be found.

However, Tengshu has now seen a way. If he can find these lost Pokémon, then he can return them to their homes in his own way.

After all, Tengshu can easily see who these Pokémon's previous trainers were, and after checking, he can contact them. However, there is a small problem.

That is, while Tengshu can now confirm this, the problem is that he can't always encounter these lost Pokémon.

Most of the time, lost Pokémon are unable to ask humans for help, which makes it very difficult to find them.

So even for a vine, solving this problem is quite difficult, which gives it a headache. After all, figuring out how to deal with this problem is a rather challenging task for the vine.

However, Teng Shu had some new ideas about this. He felt that he could try it slowly, but how to try it was a little puzzling.

Teng Shu pondered for a moment, then decided to see if he could exchange for some kind of item that would allow him to more efficiently identify the lost Pokémon. However, this was quite difficult, because at this point, Teng Shu could only see these panels.

These panels do not indicate whether the Pokémon is lost or abandoned.

"However, there must be a solution to this problem. If possible, I still haven't developed and utilized the current system enough." Teng Shu felt that he probably hadn't found the right way to approach it.

After all, if you think about it carefully, welfare homes do have some functionalities.

So, thinking about this, Tengshu decided to study it himself first. Just as Tengshu started his research, Mimikyu arrived. Mimikyu had already said goodbye to Gastly and was now preparing to go back. Looking at the excited Mimikyu beside him, Tengshu's eyes also held a hint of a smile.

Yes, this matter is not without significance; in fact, it can be said to be a very meaningful one, since not every Pokémon is so lucky as to be found again.

Most Pokémon that get lost are lost forever. So Tengshu felt that it was really necessary for him to slowly find homes and trainers for these Pokémon.

Furthermore, while some people may not care much about their lost Pokémon, judging from the situation of Professor Oak's daughter and the old friend next to Ho-Oh.

Most people care a lot about their Pokémon, and in this situation, Tengshu felt that he might be able to try to help these people from this perspective. However, Tengshu didn't have any good ideas, because he also had his own orphanage to run around every day looking for lost Pokémon.

Therefore, Teng Shu felt that he really couldn't handle this problem by himself. Such a large-scale matter would definitely require the power of the alliance to carry out, since the situation of lost Pokémon could change depending on the destination of the ship or plane.
