I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

"Oh? Then how can we have a contest to convince you?"

Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow. A contest was to be expected. As he spoke, he raised his finger, his pupils glowing blue.

The teacup beside them suddenly floated up, which stunned all the superpowered individuals. This was... telekinesis?!

This is the Psychic-type Pokémon's commonly used Psychic-type ability, which transmits invisible energy waves to the target and manipulates their actions!

I never expected this person to be...?!

The group of superpowered individuals watched as Yang Xiying manipulated the teacup, making it float around the room before returning to its original position.

"Whether it's Pokémon battles or real-life matches, I'm fine with it," Yang Xiying said, releasing four more Pokémon.

—These are Slowpoke, Forrettos, Giant Vine, and 3D Dragon 2.

“Oh, young man, you’ve raised these four Pokémon very well,” said Granny Agatha, who was the first to react this time.

Some people were surprised to see the Pokémon that Yang Xiying released, as the children's levels were mostly above level 50.

And don't let their silly appearance fool you, they actually have a kind of disguise, but she still wanted to see the Pokémon in the shadows on the other side.

"To raise Pokémon to this level... it's really hard to believe..."

Apart from Leafy Chrysanthemum, everyone else sensed the extraordinary nature of the Pokémon released by Yang Xiying.

—This level is comparable to that of a gym leader.

"That would certainly be of great help to us. Perhaps we should ask you for a favor. We need powerful Pokémon to assist us in this operation."

The psychic who had first issued the challenge couldn't help but speak up, saying that there was no need to even try; in a Pokémon battle alone, he was far from being a match for the other party.

"But this operation also requires humans to personally take to the field, so I need to test your strength, sir."

“Telekinesis alone is not enough,” he stepped forward, using his own telekinesis to manipulate his teacup as it flew around the room.

“I understand,” Yang Xiying stood up and looked at the person opposite her, “...How do you want to test me? Fight me?”

"Our highest priority as humans is not offensive capability," the superhuman slowly began, "but defensive and survivability."

“So you only need to block 50% of my mental energy attack,” the superpowered individual began to gather energy in his hands.

"Don't worry, I'll heal you if you get hurt. Superpowered people have no shortage of healing methods. Drink up—!!!"

As he spoke, his hands, already ablaze with emerald green flames, pushed his palms forward, unleashing an invisible force that struck Yang Xiying.

"..."

Yang Xiying raised her hand and used her telekinesis to control the invisible force, which then vanished instantly.

"..." The group of superpowered individuals were stunned by what they saw. The one representing them in the battle was the most aggressive superpowered individual among them.

—Even if there are only 50% chance that the opponent can block this attack without taking any damage…

"How is it?" Yang Xiying asked the superpowered person who was stunned in place. The other party quickly came to his senses and bowed to apologize.

"My apologies, Mr. Yang, you do indeed possess such power." He had even considered going all out against his opponent, but that would have been too humiliating.

"Please accept these as compensation for the offense," he said, bowing before walking towards Yang Xiying and taking out two boxes of items.

"—Also, my name is Ayu, nice to meet you."

Judging from the contents of the packaging, it seemed to be a healing and status ailment medicine for both humans and Pokémon. Yang Xiying didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.

"...So I can help out now, right?"

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Yang," the superpowered man named Ayu nodded solemnly, as the other party had indeed shown him power!

"So what should we do?" Ye Zi asked at this moment. Since she had worked with Naz before, there was no need for testing this time.

“Evil spirits are very difficult to kill,” it was time to get to the point, and Ayu began to explain the characteristics of evil spirits.

"As long as there is yin energy in the world, and negative emotions such as anger, sadness, and fear, they have the potential to be regenerated."

"Since we cannot eradicate the yin energy and negative emotions, we can only weaken their power and then seal the evil spirits."

"Weakening their power is also simple; we can fight them together with Pokémon, which is why we need Pokémon to help us."

"—Because they can learn all sorts of elemental moves, such as fire, ice, lightning, grass, and water."

"Simply put, we can think of Evil Spirits as Ghost-type Pokémon," Yang Xiying chimed in, "right?"

“Yes, Ghost-type moves are most effective against them,” Ayu nodded. “Just use those to fight them.”

"Of course, some folk methods can also be used, such as weapons made from trees struck by lightning, or Houndoom's blood..."

"However, most of these methods are too inefficient; we can just ask Pokémon for help," he said, then changed the subject, adding that these were all old methods.

—Because Pokémon can replace these.

"So, is this the same method used to deal with people possessed by evil spirits?"

Ye Zi then asked the crucial question: this time, Ziyuan Town is not just haunted; many people have had their bodies taken away by it.

Because a physical body allows them to move freely in the human world for a long time and live like humans; otherwise, they could only move at night.

"That's right!"

Ayu nodded, then took out two boxes from his spatial backpack. The tops of the boxes were transparent, so you could see what was inside.

—A talisman paper with calligraphy on it!

"Please accept these two. After you defeat those who are possessed by evil spirits, stick them on their foreheads and they will be unable to move."

"Evil spirits can no longer manipulate or control the bodies they possess, and they cannot even escape from them."

"So our next task is much simpler: perform a ritual to extract the evil spirit and then seal it away."

"By the way, humans are much more fragile than evil spirits. Be careful when you act. If they die, then our operation will be meaningless."

Their primary goal was to rescue people!

“I understand,” Yang Xiying and Ye Zi nodded, then asked the person opposite, “So when do we make our move?”

“The sooner the better,” Ayu replied, then his expression turned strange. “Besides, they’ve already come to the door this morning.”

"Warning! Warning! An evil spirit has appeared!"

Suddenly a loud commotion came from outside the gate, and the guards began to stir. It was clear that an enemy attack was coming!

"Two will stay behind to protect the elderly Fuji," Ayu began issuing orders, with the first priority being to protect the elderly Fuji.

This place can be said to be the foundation upon which they established themselves in Ziyuan Town!

"Ms. Kikuko, Mr. Yang, Ms. Yezi, please!" He then turned his attention to the outside help they had brought in.

"...Hehe, it really is time to get some exercise," Grandma Kikuko chuckled, her laughter seeming more sinister than any evil spirit.

Then two figures suddenly appeared beside her. Both of them were people Yang Xiying had seen in Deep Gray City!

—Gengar and Crobat! Their levels are nearly seventy!

"Slowbro, Porygon2, Forretress, and Vinegar, stand by in your Poké Balls," Yang Xiying said, recalling the Pokémon she had just released.

This isn't the place for them to shine. Since they're going to treat that evil spirit as a ghost, then they should use these methods!

"Zu——" "GI——!"

He walked straight out the door, while the two Pokémon in his shadow began to stir restlessly...

"Snorkeling Weasel—! Togekiss—! Please, you two!" Leaf released two Pokémon!

One of them is the familiar Togekiss, and the other is an orange-yellow weasel-type Pokémon with two tails.

The yellow float on its neck extends to its back, looking like a shawl; it's a snorkeling weasel, a sea weasel Pokémon.

Using its well-developed float to stay afloat, it is a Pokémon that can help save drowning people, even though it is a Water-type.

However, the Float Weasel has a large number of Pokémon that are super effective against Ghost-type Pokémon, and its Speed ​​stat is comparable to Starmie.

—It's very suitable for this kind of situation.

"The fog is so thick..."

The group went outside, and by then it was completely dark, and a thick fog filled the air.

As a result, the field of vision has become very narrow, but it's enough to see the surrounding situation now; the villa courtyard is in complete chaos.

The Sandslash, Marowak, Kadabra, Rattata, and Golduck that Yang Xiying and Ye Zi saw earlier were all fighting against Ghost.

These are all Ghost-type Pokémon that appear in the Pokédex: Gastly, Haunter, Misdreavus, Nightwatch...

"Wild Ghost-type Pokémon are easily assimilated by evil spirits and end up doing evil for them, but you also need to be careful with the ones you raise yourself."

Ayu also explained the reason why these Ghost-type Pokémon were attacking so frantically, and he also noticed the movement in Yang Xiying's shadow.

—This person also breeds Ghost-type Pokémon.

“Then, our enemies are not just them,” he said, turning his gaze to the courtyard entrance where a large crowd had gathered.

But they were behaving somewhat abnormally, with purple aura emanating from their bodies and their faces so gloomy they looked like they could work on a horror movie set!

These are people possessed by evil spirits, and dealing with them is more troublesome than dealing with Ghost-type Pokémon assimilated by evil spirits.

Pokémon can be dealt with by the Pokémon in the garden, but it's a different story with humans.

Because I also need to be careful not to hurt them, and besides, everyone in this world is a Pokémon Trainer.

When a person is possessed by an evil spirit, their Pokémon will also be affected, so they also send out their Pokémon to fight!

—The villa gate has now been smashed open!

"Azure Flame Blade Demon!" Yang Xiying also summoned Azure Flame Blade Demon to launch an attack at this moment, "Charged Flame Strike prioritizes attacking enemies other than our own!"

"Hah—!" Azure Flame Blade Demon leaped out of the shadows, its entire body engulfed in flames as it charged like a missile!

It crashes into Pokémon assimilated by evil spirits and Pokémon released by people possessed by evil spirits, and Blaze is very clever.

The Pokémon chosen were all those that were weak to Fire-type moves, while the surrounding Pokémon were mostly around level 20 or 30.

They had no chance against the level 60+ Azure Flame Blade Demon, which made the Azure Flame Blade Demon grow stronger the more they fought!

—The speed is getting faster and faster!

Charged Flame Strike! A fire-attribute physical attack with a power of 50. Each use increases the user's speed by one level!

"Finished bodybuilding, you abandoned monkey?"

Yang Xiying also walked forward at this moment, and took out a wooden sword. It was indeed made from a peach tree that had been struck by lightning.

"GI——!!!" Abandoned Monkey also jumped out of Yang Xiying's shadow and began to fight against the Pokémon that were attacking!

"—We'll follow! Let's subdue the evil spirit that invaded the Pokémon House!"

Although they were surprised that Yang Xiying had brought out a Pokémon they had never seen before, the people around them couldn't just stand there dumbfounded.

Yu led his companions to join the battle, and they all sent out Pokémon: Kadabra, Natu, Slowpoke, and Hypnos!

—These are all Pokémon that fit the characteristics of psychics.

"An unfamiliar Ghost-type Pokémon... Interesting. Gengar, Crobat, follow along."

Watching the Azure Flame Blade Ghost Abandoned Monkey and Yang Xiying wielding a peach wood sword to slash at Pokémon, Kikuko revealed an expression of great interest.

However, she couldn't just stand by and watch. Of course, she didn't need to personally command enemies of this level!

Gengar, the purple-fat guy, clasped his hands together to gather dark purple energy, forming an energy ball – this is the Ghost-type move Shadow Ball!

Crobat hovers high in the sky to observe its surroundings and provide necessary support to Gengar. Togekiss does the same job.

At this moment, its owner and its companion, the snorkeling weasel, charged into the enemy ranks, each capable of taking down an enemy with a single move!

After knocking the humans down, he took out talisman paper from his spatial backpack and stuck it on their heads, rendering them unable to move!

"Slowpoke! Get ready to yawn! Giant Vine! Sleep Powder!" Yang Xiying's method of immobilizing it was even simpler and more brutal!

He directly inflicted abnormal statuses. Even if these people were possessed by evil spirits, they were still alive. Since they were alive, they were subject to physiological limitations!

So they all collapsed, and talismans were pasted on their foreheads. The process went smoothly, and it was the same afterwards!

In less than half an hour, the attack on the Pokémon House finally stopped, and Yang Xiying and her group captured a large number of human prisoners!

"Your methods are truly efficient," a group of people said after the event, praising Yang Xiying's actions.

—This person's actions are more professional than those of exorcists.

"In that case, why don't we try making Yang Xiying the main force?" At this moment, Grandma Juzi slowly walked over with a smile.

"..." Everyone was stunned when they heard Kikuko say that, but the old woman continued, "You have all seen the strength of this young man."
