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

—I really do need to try and climb up the ladder now…

"...!"

Yang Xiying arrived at the rooftop, where he also sensed a distortion, prompting him to order the Azure Flame Blade Ghost and the Abandoned Monkey to maintain the defenses.

But this distortion didn't seem to be meant to harm them, until Yang Xiying and her Pokémon came to their senses.

I found myself in a strange, vast space, with pitch black as the background color on all sides.

But Yang Xiying's hand was so wide that you could see her own fingers, just like the scene in an animated film where the protagonist confides in his inner self.

However, the sky in this area also contains a large number of luminous objects, like stars, including several spiral nebulae.

—But the dark red tone looks rather eerie…

"...Welcome to my territory, arrogant challenger," a voice rang out, immediately diverting Yang Xiying and her group's attention.

Then they saw their target right in front of them: Gengar and a green bird crouching in place like it was wearing a raincoat.

This is a natural bird, a mysterious Pokémon. People believe that it remains motionless because it is gazing at the past and the future.

These two Pokémon do indeed possess the ability to create black mist, and their levels are around 50!

It's obvious that they've been carefully nurtured, and as for who nurtured them, it's naturally the slender woman standing next to them.

Although no skin below her head was exposed, the black bodysuit underneath, along with the dark pink crop top and pencil skirt, accentuated her perfect figure, making her even more alluring.

This is like a demon, attracting others to explore. Her long, cascading blue-gray hair, with her bangs styled in a hee cut, gives her the feel of a Japanese noble lady.

Her face shape is almost perfect, but the expression she makes is not very attractive, and her eyes reveal a sinister aura.

This is Sabrina, the Gym Leader of Saffron City, but Yang Xiying could sense an aura emanating from her that did not match her appearance.

—Saria's body is indeed controlled by some powerful being!

"Don't think that just because you've got the dojo master under your control, you're in this line of work," Yang Xiying said coldly.

Seeing this person gave Yang Xiying a feeling of challenging a dojo, since she had been clearing towers before, just like clearing dojo levels.

—However, this time it really isn't a gym battle.

“This aura is indeed extraordinary… Are you the mastermind behind this?” Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the other side, Yang Xiying spoke.

"Hehe, since you can see that, I don't need to say anything more. To be honest, I even admire your abilities."

The possessed Nazja revealed a sinister smile, having witnessed the enemy's tower-pushing performance.

He is a very dangerous enemy, but also a very tempting one. If I could bring him under my command...

"...How about it? Want to go all out with me?"

"Huh? So you evil spirit actually likes to absorb yang energy to replenish yin," Yang Xiying easily misunderstood as she looked at the person opposite her with Naz's face.

“Heh,” 'Naza’ chuckled, “Do you still like making jokes like this? Fine, if you like this body, then I’ll give it to you.”

PS: Update! Another chapter coming soon!

NO.191 VS Hypnotic Naz!

"what do you mean?"

Listening to that 'Naza'... no, evil spirit's words, Yang Xiying's eyes narrowed slightly, and the person opposite her had a fawning attitude towards her.

"To demonstrate my sincerity in cooperating with you, I need to conquer this world, which naturally requires all kinds of talents."

The evil spirit spread its hands, revealing a confident smile, and spoke without any restraint, looking every bit the villain.

“We have different paths, so we cannot work together. I don’t feel I have any need to cooperate with you,” Yang Xiying replied calmly.

While responding to the opponent, he also observed whether there were any axemen lying in ambush around him. Well, his main strength was still concentrated around his body.

"Conquering the world means having everything. You also want something, don't you? And I can give it to you right now."

The other side continued to speak.

"After all, you have already shown me your desires, so the woman I am possessing should meet your aesthetic standards."

The gray-haired man's frivolous attitude towards women implies his desires, and he's quite easy to please.

“You’re really generous,” Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow. “But I remember that ghosts need to possess someone to exist in the world for a long time, right?”

"—If you give her to me, wouldn't you be cutting off your own escape route?"

"I will find a new body soon. This human body is not suitable; it's only good for me because of its power."

The evil spirit answered matter-of-factly, then changed the subject, saying that now that it had said its piece, it was time for the other side to respond.

"—Alright, what's your response? Follow me, and I'll guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and luxury."

“Sorry, I still believe in self-reliance,” Yang Xiying shook her head. Even a three-year-old wouldn’t fall for this kind of recruitment tactic.

Commanding a large number of evil spirits to seize human bodies and manipulate them, such a person is basically the kind of evil thing who acts recklessly and wantonly by relying on power.

Even if there are hardships, it's just to survive, and that's not a reason to justify one's birth.

That would add a label of hypocrisy to the other party, and working with such a person would probably make it impossible to get a good night's sleep.

When someone you've long considered an enemy suddenly shows you goodwill, there's only one possible outcome for Yang Xiying:

—Don't raise your head too high, kneel down obediently and listen to his judgment.

"Most importantly, what skills do you have that can convince me yet?" But while that's what he thought, he couldn't be too blunt.

"If you want me to acknowledge you as my boss, you have to surpass me in at least one aspect. If you can't beat me, then I'll take you to conquer the world."

"Hahaha!" The evil spirit suddenly burst into hearty laughter. "Interesting, let's have a contest then."

"Let's use Pokémon battles then. After spending so much time in Hell, I've started to miss the days when I conquered the world with my Pokémon."

The evil spirit grinned. Pokémon battles have been a popular activity since ancient times, and people have used their power to fight for everything...

The same applies to talent, so he felt the other side's suggestion was reasonable.

"Let's use the Memory Master Rules that I got from this body: a five-on-five Master Duel with a level of 50 restriction."

"..." Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow. It seemed this evil spirit was quite trendy. "Can a master duel still take place in a space like this?"

He had no objection to using Pokémon battles to determine who was better, because no one in this world was a sore loser; if you lost, you had to pay a reward.

The evil spirits we encountered before were all defeated and remained still, even though they were covered by talismans, they did not struggle.

Especially those guys who actively engage in legitimate Pokémon battles with these people, they even manipulate the possessed individuals to spend money...

Yes, once someone is possessed by them, the possession of that person becomes their private property.

In short, Yang Xiying didn't mind having a match with the other side, but she was still able to start a Pokémon Masters battle even though she had arrived in another dimension.

“What you have now is indeed cutting-edge to me, but with a little research, it is still possible to replicate that technology.”

"So you don't need to use those cards to start a master duel with me. This space can simulate it directly," the evil spirit said arrogantly.

"I've really seen something new."

Yang Xiying narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that the other side had cracked the interdimensional space technology and the Grandmaster Duel technology, just like Team Rocket...

—We still have to rely on 3D Dragon 2.

"Now you can swipe your hand to bring up the Master Duel Device menu, register your Pokémon, and then battle me."

The evil spirit spoke at that moment, and Yang Xiying did as it was told. Then the surrounding environment began to change.

Although the sky was still completely black, with only a huge red luminous object and a few tiny stars, there were audience seats on all four sides.

The audience here are like ghosts, like the mochi next to a certain white-haired gardener who's afraid of ghosts...

Is this the Pokémon arena in the underworld?

“Okay,” Yang Xiying replied, and then she and the other person started logging into their Pokémon. Then the familiar stick figure in a suit appeared.

However, this time the guy opposite him was wearing a white suit and a crown, and his skin tone had also become more defined...

"Alright! Pokémon battle! Ready Go—!!!"

However, the lines remained unchanged. The black stick figure raised both hands high to announce the start of the competition, and Yang Xiying and the evil spirit went up to be the first to go!

"Foretus! You lead the charge!"

"Natural Bird! You go!"

Yang Xiying sent out Foretus, while the other side sent out the Natural Bird, which they had seen before. Upon seeing this, he pondered for a moment.

The tone on the other end had changed; it had been filled with malevolence before, but now it sounded somewhat powerless…

Forrettos, that Pokémon that people in the mortal realm hardly ever use...

Looking at the opposing team's starting lineup, the evil spirit seemed to be deep in thought. It had indeed seen the opposing team commanding their Pokémon in battle.

But they were mostly those two Ghost-type Pokémon. Those two were indeed powerful, and I didn't even recognize them...

He would be at a great disadvantage if he were to engage in Pokémon battles, but fortunately, he had no intention of battling this person anyway.

The evil spirit wasn't foolish enough to fight someone without knowing much about their situation; this time, it hired a substitute fighter.

Modify the consciousness of the human currently possessing you, that is, hypnotize her, and make her fight in your place. This way, you can find out more information about the other side!

It doesn't matter if the little girl who possesses me loses, because I won't be the one paying the price for defeat!

And while the other side pays the price for defeat, I can seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack! That man's body is far more attractive than this woman's!

"Foretus! Wall of Light!"

"Natural bird! Hot wind!"

Both commands were issued at the same time, but no matter how you looked at it, the bird with the blank stare was faster; it spread its wings and soared into the sky!

PS: Update!

NO.192 Fierce Battle with Sabrina (Part 1)!

"Gah——!!!"

Then a strong wind blew out, and several red energy blades slashed towards Foretus, instantly scorching his body!

—The fire-attribute hot wind is extremely effective against Foretus!

Foretrus's health bar instantly dwindled, but it survived thanks to its sturdy nature, and then it unleashed its energy to construct a transparent wall.

"Foretos! Volt Substitute!" The first exchange ended just like that, and Yang Xiying began to consider using new moves.

As expected, the opponent has Heat Wave Pokémon. They might also have Clear Fog hidden in their hand, so there's no need for me to keep using support moves to fight them to the death.

Furthermore, Natu is also a support character, and the opponent may also use moves like Light Screen and Reflect. If the opponent does not use offensive moves...

—It's also convenient to replace Pokémon with Volt!

"Natural Bird! Clear the fog!" Sabrina chose to clear the fog because the opponent was low on health, and it wouldn't hurt to let them live for another turn.

After all, Nargacuga is faster than its opponent, and it doesn't really know much about the opponent's Pokémon composition.

Therefore, using the Fog Clearing technique is the best option when facing Foretus!

The green, dazed bird began to flap its wings, whipping up a gale that sent the light wall built by Foretus flying.

Freytos spun at high speed, his entire body crackling with electricity, and struck the natural bird, taking away nearly 30% of its blood!

—Frethos was subsequently replaced by Azure Flame Blade Demon!

"..." Yang Xiying thought she saw a hint of confusion on Naz's face, but she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.

Isn't the opponent currently possessed by an evil spirit? So they should have learned some information about our Azure Flame Blade Demon...

After all, they had already realized that their Azure Flame Blade Demon had been enhanced, and using the Black Mist was the biggest evidence of that...

"Azure Flame Blade Demon! Sword Dance!"
