I caught a Pokémon

Upon hearing this explanation, the ghost butler frowned slightly, a faint red light flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more. He simply waited until Xiaoyao and Yami had finished eating and drinking and let out a satisfied burp before standing up.

"Now, let me take you to your rooms."

Xiaoyao and Yami quickly stood up and said politely, "You've really gone to so much trouble!"

As always, the ghost butler remained silent, got up and left the restaurant.

Seeing this, Yami quickly followed, and after Xia You also got up, Xiao Yao walked to the side, shook her head and smiled at him.

"Xia You-ge, what a pity! You should have tried the food earlier, it was absolutely delicious! It made me feel like I was back in Yuanzhu City!"

"Is that so?" Xia You gave her a meaningful look. "That is indeed a pity."

Xiao Yao, of course, didn't catch Xia You's teasing. Instead, she was excited and kept talking: "We're so lucky today! Who would have thought that there would be such a place in a forest like this! Not only can we have a good meal, but we also have a warm bed to sleep in later. This family is really a kind person!"

"Yes," Xia You smiled slightly, drawing out her words, "Just as you said, he really is a 'good person'!"

Chapter 939 You Look Delicious

Leaving the restaurant, the group walked through the quiet corridor and, led by the ghost butler, headed towards their room.

It must be said that this mansion was indeed very large, much larger than it appeared from the outside. The group walked around for quite a while, turning left and right, before finally stopping in front of a room.

"These are your guest rooms. Well then, I'll take my leave now."

After leaving those words, the ghost butler turned and left. Before Xiaoyao could even express her gratitude, he was already gone and disappeared down the corridor.

Fortunately, Xiaoyao was already used to the butler's taciturn nature, so she didn't pay any attention to it and instead pushed open the door to the guest room.

The room behind the door was in the same style as the rest of the mansion. Although it looked bright, it didn't have much substance. There were only three beds, three bedside tables, and a wardrobe. It looked very simple, but the soft bedding on the bed still caught her eye.

"It looks pretty good. At least it has everything you need." She nodded in satisfaction. "And I didn't expect there to be a guest room with three beds. It seems like many trainers have stayed here before, otherwise they wouldn't have prepared so much!"

When Yami realized that the three of them would be spending the night together in one room, she secretly glanced at the man beside her and couldn't help but feel a little shy.

Although she understood that conditions weren't always ideal when traveling, and that some things were unavoidable and shouldn't be taken too seriously, she still felt a bit shy and embarrassed about having to sleep in the same room with this man, whom she had only known for a short time and was barely even acquainted with...

Compared to her, Xia You didn't think so much. After following Xiao Yao into the room, he simply glanced around and threw his luggage onto one of the beds.

"Take a rest now," he said to the two of them. "You should rest while you can, so that you won't be able to sleep later."

Hearing this, Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel puzzled, wondering what Xia You meant.

Just as she was about to ask, she saw Xia You instruct the Umbreon and Froakie, who had been following her outside, to guard the window. Then, without even taking off her clothes, she lay down on the bed fully clothed and closed her eyes!

This made her even more puzzled.

After all, they had been traveling together for so long, and she already knew what kind of personality Xia You had. Now that he said that, something was bound to happen!

Thinking of this, she plopped down on the edge of Xia You's bed and asked him.

"Brother Xia You, what do you mean by that?"

Being so close, speaking in a slightly coquettish tone, and even gently pushing Xia You's arm—all these actions revealed the intimacy between the two.

This was simply unimaginable at the beginning of their trip together!

Especially considering Xiaoyao's personality, it's clear how deep their relationship has become after so much time together.

Shaking her like that, Xia You had no choice but to open her eyes.

Looking at Xiaoyao's cute face and curious eyes, he could only say helplessly, "Alright, alright, stop shaking me. There are some things you'd better not know."

The more Xia You said that, the more curious Xiao Yao became, and she couldn't help but act coquettishly again.

"Say it, say it!"

Unable to resist her persistent pestering, Xia You could only sigh and sit up.

Are you sure you want to hear this?

“Of course!” Xiaoyao nodded.

Seeing the mysterious conversation between the two, Yami couldn't help but come closer.

Seeing their expressions, Xia You didn't explain further, but simply said, "Since you're so eager to know, then don't blame me for putting pressure on you. Haven't you noticed anything amiss all this time?"

"Huh?" Xiaoyao was completely dumbfounded. "You...you mean there's something wrong here!?"

Xia You retorted, "Didn't you notice?"

“This…” Knowing that Xia You was prompting her to think, Xiao Yao calmed down, thought carefully for a moment, and frowned. “If that’s the case, it is indeed a bit strange that there is such a manor in such a forest, and the food also seems to have been prepared in advance…”

Seeing that Xiaoyao had only mentioned these two points, Xia You couldn't help but remind her again.

"You ate so much, do you really feel full?"

"What?" Xiaoyao was taken aback, then remembered how much there had been just now. While rubbing her stomach, she nodded, "Of course I'll eat..."

However, she had only spoken halfway when she touched her flat stomach and felt a gurgling sound coming from inside her.

So, the words were on the tip of her tongue when she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "That's strange, I clearly ate so much, why am I hungry again?"

"Now that you mention it..." Even Yami touched her empty stomach and felt a surge of hunger, exclaiming in surprise, "Me too! I just ate a lot, why do I feel hungry too!?"

It has to be said that even now, Yami still has two rosy blushes on her face.

Seeing that the two had realized this, Xia You was unwilling to say more. After all, the more she said, the more unnecessary pressure she would put on them, and the more worried they would be, and they probably wouldn't be able to sleep well all night.

"Alright, it's good that you know something's not right here. This way you can be more cautious. Now listen to me, get to bed right away. I have a feeling something's going to happen in the middle of the night!"

Urged by Xia You, Xiao Yao and Ya Mi lay down on the bed fully clothed, but after realizing that this place was unusual, how could they possibly fall asleep?

The two tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The slightest sound, whether it was the wind outside the window or the creaking of the floorboards in the corridor, would make them suddenly open their eyes!

I just can't sleep!

In my hazy state, the night outside the window grew increasingly dark.

After lying there for an unknown amount of time, Xiaoyao and Yami gradually became sleepy. Just as they were drifting off to sleep, a little girl's laughter suddenly came from somewhere.

The sound came from all directions, sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right. Although it was as clear as a silver bell, it still gave people a chill down their spines!

Almost simultaneously with the sound, Xiaoyao and Yami suddenly opened their eyes and sat up, their faces pale as they looked towards the door.

"...What's that sound?! It's so scary..."

"Why does it sound like a little girl laughing?!"

Xiaoyao swallowed nervously: "Could it be... haunted?"

Yami's expression stiffened visibly, as if she had also considered this possibility. However, after hesitating for a moment, she still forced herself to say, "It shouldn't be. After all, the family owns this house. It should be their daughter..."

However, before she could finish speaking, a large amount of purple energy drifted in through the crack in the door. This purple energy was thick and ominous, and it seemed to be alive, constantly wriggling. It looked extremely terrifying and eerie!

Now, both Xiaoyao and Yami realized that something was wrong and jumped up and ran to Xia You's bed!

Along with them were several Pokémon in the room.

Xia You's Umbreon suddenly stood up and whispered a threat to the thick purple fog. Froakie also stretched out its arms and blocked Xia You and the other two. Only Yami's Chansey, just like its trainer, was obviously very timid and even shrank into the corner of the bed in fear!

Clutching at Xia You's sleeve, Xiao Yao asked fearfully, "Brother Xia You... what is this purple aura? Could it be...?"

She patted Xiaoyao's hand, signaling her to calm down. Xia You then sat up from the bed, looked at the thick purple fog, and shook her head, saying, "I thought you would come out late at night. I didn't expect you to be so impatient before midnight."

Hearing Xia You's words, Ghost probably didn't expect that this man had already noticed something, which made the thick purple fog pause for a moment.

The next second, as the thick fog cleared, a petite teenage girl with long black hair, a pale face, blood-red eyeshadow and lipstick, a plush toy in her arms, and wearing a long dress, white stockings and black leather shoes appeared out of thin air in the room!

"Ah~ I'm surprised you noticed. When did that happen?"

When the ghost girl opened her mouth, her voice was surprisingly clear and cute, and her tone was full of that arrogant and haughty young lady vibe.

Looking at the girl who was about the same age as her but whose whole body was enveloped in blue light, Xiaoyao's heart almost jumped out of her chest at that moment.

"A ghostly, eerie spirit!!!"

Compared to her, Yami was obviously not much better. Despite being much older, she was just as brave as Haruka. Right now, she was hugging her Chansey and almost huddled in the corner!

If it weren't for Xia You and Xiao Yao standing in front of them, this person and the Pokémon would have already been unable to hold back their tears and let out a pitiful scream!

Despite the chaos around her, Xia You remained unaffected. Hearing the girl ghost's teasing tone, she calmly replied, "Of course, I noticed it before even stepping into this mansion. In fact, after entering the mansion, I also discovered several obvious flaws in that butler."

Despite being exposed without any mercy, Miss Ghost was not angry; instead, her smile widened.

"This is so interesting." She bent over, her eyes fixed on Xia You. "You smell so good, the most tempting one I've ever seen. You must taste delicious! I've decided to keep you here forever!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't give Xia You a chance to speak again. She didn't make any move, but the purple mist around her condensed again, just like a pair of giant hands, grabbing straight at Xia You!

Faced with such an attack, Xia You didn't even need to give the order; his Umbreon had already taken the initiative to intercept it.

As we all know, the two most effective Pokémon for dealing with Ghosts are Ghost-type Pokémon and Dark-type Pokémon.

This is why Xia You keeps her Umbreon with her.

It can be said that even without Gengar's intervention, Umbreon has ways to deal with Ghosts!

Therefore, when faced with those two purple hands, Umbreon opened its mouth and instantly unleashed a wave of evil energy that struck the hands formed from ghostly energy, shattering them!

That's not all. After shattering the purple hand, the evil wave continued forward, shooting towards the ghostly girl!

However, in the face of such an attack, the ghost girl only let out a silvery laugh, and then her body dissipated into the air. In the next second, the evil wave swept in and missed its target.

boom!boom!

Although it failed to hit the ghost girl, the remaining power of the evil wave destroyed the room's door, passed through the corridor, shattered the windows, creating two through holes, before finally dissipating into the night.

However, in the very next second, the scattered purple mist actually condensed again.

Not only that, but even more thick purple fog began to spread into the room from all directions, like a dozen tentacles, through the large hole in the door, as well as the cracks in the windows and the corners of the walls!

On the surface, these tentacles are numerous, and the situation can be said to be very unfavorable for Xia You.

Just then, the Froakie joined the battle and launched an attack.

However, since it is a ghost, it is very different from battling a Pokémon. Therefore, the water gun it sprayed had a very limited effect at this moment. The water spray only slowed down the tentacles, but could not disperse them like Dark Pulse!

Seeing that the two Pokémon were having some trouble dealing with her, May, despite her fear, came to her senses and realized that she couldn't rely on them alone. So she tossed out her Poké Ball and sent out her Pokémon as well.

With a flash of blue light, her Wartortle appeared in the room.

It must be said that although Xiaoyao was flustered, she did not lose her rationality.

She also knew that Blaziken's flames, while having some effect, could cause the entire mansion to perish in such a small room, even the slightest spark.

Eevee and Munchlax, which have normal attributes, cannot deal any effective damage to Ghosts. Therefore, even though it is known that Wartortle's Water Gun has the same effect as Xia You's Froakie and is not very useful, with the idea that having more helpers will increase the chances of winning, Wartortle was sent out despite being terrified.

Even after she finished doing all that, she didn't forget to turn around and shout at the trembling Yami.

"Miss Yami! Watch out for those purple mists, don't get caught by them!! Just hide well, leave the rest to Xia You and me!"

It's clear from this response that Xiaoyao has truly grown a lot. Not only has she not lost her courage, but she also dares to fight. With this performance, she can almost stand on her own!

Although even Xiaoyao herself probably didn't realize this change in herself, from Xia You's perspective, compared to when she first traveled with Xia You, she had grown so much!

Chapter 940 is about ghosts.

Although there was an extra Wartortle, it had almost no impact on the battle.

Of course, this is not because Wartortle is weak. It's just that, like Xia You's Froakie, their Water-type moves cannot effectively damage the purple fog, which is why they seem so useless.

But in any case, at least Wartortle and Froakie helped to share some of the firepower, which directly relieved some of the pressure on Umbreon.

And Umbreon undoubtedly took on the main role.

Even Umbreon itself clearly knew this, especially since the target of the other party was its own trainer, it dared not be careless and at this moment it unleashed its full potential!

It darted and weaved within the small room, but no longer used the same powerful force as before. Instead, it controlled its dark energy slightly, keeping it focused on its teeth and claws, using them to drive away the tentacles that approached Xia You.

At this moment, its speed and power were unleashed to the fullest extent. Any tentacle that dared to approach Xia You would be mercilessly torn apart by its sharp teeth and claws.

However, no matter how hard Umbreon tried, it was simply not enough to fight off so many tentacles and those large purple hands that kept re-condensing and getting closer under the attack.

Although its attacks have decreased, the purple mist seems endless. No matter how much is destroyed or scattered, it will immediately re-form, which has kept the battle from starting.

As a result of this offensive, the safe space for Xia You and the others to move around in became smaller and smaller.

This forced Xiaoyao and Yami to stay close to Xia You in order to avoid being grabbed by these tentacles.

Looking at the green-haired woman clinging to her clothes beside her, Xia You couldn't help but shake her head.

So timid, I really don't know how she dared to venture into this forest alone...

Even though he's an adult, he still looks adorably naive, giving off the impression that anyone can bully him.
