It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 270 Hoshino, the law enforcer of the spiritual world, Mashado, is watched by the shadow!

Author: It’s a fox, not a cat

Chapter 270 Hoshino, the law enforcer of the spiritual world, Mashado, is watched by the shadow!

In the mound of memories shrouded in mist, where all the kings of Alola are buried, a group of guys are surrounding a Pokémon, watching curiously.

"Magearna? Is that the name of this robot? But...could it be that this is also a Pokémon? Is it the same kind as Iron Bundle?"

Lillie was full of puzzlement and curiosity, mainly because this robot was quite cute, especially when the metal ball deformed after accidentally activating the mechanism when she touched it just now, she was really surprised.

Facing the question, Hoshino nodded, but Acerola asked in surprise: "How do you know it's called Magearna? Is it possible that you have also studied the history of the Alola region?"

"I've heard a little bit about it, but I'm sure I don't know as much as you, a descendant of the royal family."

"That's a must! Hahaha!"

Acerola patted her chest and laughed very proudly, although she actually didn't know much about it and had only heard about it from her family.

And she didn't know that this was just a step deliberately given by Hoshino to prevent this guy from asking questions and pestering her. Then he said: "It is said that Magearna was presented as a tribute to the Alola royal family 500 years ago. It is an artificial treasure.

Kemeng is loved by the king's daughter because of her luxurious and gorgeous decorations."

"A man-made Pokémon from 500 years ago? It's amazing... Were there such strong technical capabilities in that era? But why is it in the shape of a Poké Ball? It's only been less than 200 years since the Poké Ball was born, right?"

"Well... I guess it's just that they happen to look similar, because the spherical shape looks better. Even if you hold it, it won't be easily bruised or scratched by sharp parts. It's quite safe for children to play with."

"oh……"

Lillie nodded. It seemed that it was necessary to learn more about the history of Alola. When she used to spend time in the library every day, she only focused on studying things related to Pokémon. She couldn't be partial to science.

Then she slowly squatted down and poked Majiana gently with her hand. Unfortunately, the other party remained motionless, so she continued to ask: "Is it dead? Why is there no movement at all... Could it be that it needs an electrical field to recharge and recover?"

?”

"No, it's different from the iron baggage. It's just because it's high-tech. As for this... I'm not a talent in this area, and I can't explain it to you, but the soul on its chest is its true body.

The body is made of special steel materials, and is driven by the soul."

"Then why don't you wake up?"

"After all, I have been sleeping for so many years and I am so sleepy, just like you sometimes sleep in. I knock on your door for a long time and call you to eat, but you can't wake up."

"..."

Seeing Lillie looking at him with resentment, Hoshino chuckled, stopped joking with her, and said, "It should be that the computer has been shut down for too long and needs to be restarted."

"Really? How to start it?"

"I don't know. Don't think I'm omnipotent. I can't study its structure. Although it is a man-made Pokémon, it is said to be very smart and can easily understand human language. Although it is nothing now, you want to

You know this is a technological product made 500 years ago!"

"That's really awesome!"

While the two were talking, the other guys were not idle either. Acerola kept looking at Magearna, as if she wanted to take this thing back, but Xinye Miao kept staring at her and found it by herself.

The things must not be let go.

Little Nebula landed in front of Magearna, and then stretched out her hand to touch the opponent's soul heart, but was stopped by Gengar and hugged aside.

"Gengar~"

"Hey..."

Originally, everyone came here to look for clues. Although they found the location of the spiritual world passage, their attention is now on Majiana.

Finally, Acerola grabbed Magearna's little hand and said, "I just sent a message to ask someone. This Pokémon disappeared after the princess fell ill and died 500 years ago.

It must have been buried with the princess by the king, and now that it has been found, it must be ours!"

"What? Hello..."

Just as Hoshino was about to speak, Lillie reached out to stop him. He glanced at him, then calmed down, hugged Xinye Miao, and left it to him to handle.

Lillie nodded lightly, then looked at Acerola, and said softly: "Since it belongs to your family, we have no objection, but can you give it to me first? I hope to wake it up and continue

Let it shut down and sleep alone, I feel it is a bit too pitiful..."

"Really? Then give it to you, eldest sister."

"Eh?"

Lillie was stunned for a moment, then agreed? She thought she would continue to persuade her a few more words.

Arcelora showed a playful smile, pointed at Hoshino, and said: "This guy is so annoying. He destroyed my family's cemetery without even apologizing. He also won't do business with me. I will definitely not give it to him!"

"..."

Hoshino and Xinye Miao made the same expression, wanting to retort something, but couldn't.

Lillie became happy, and then said: "Don't worry about the compensation, then I..."

"We have been sisters for so many years, why do we have the nerve to accept money from you? There is no need to thank you. Just remember to come and play with me more often."

Acerola has always been indifferent, and she didn't care much about cemeteries like Memory Hill. She just wanted to trick Hoshino. It was because of him that Lillie didn't come to play with her.

"Then I will accept Magearna. I will let her recover, but how do I take it away? I don't dare to touch it casually..."

Lillie tried to pick up Magearna, only to find that it was not easy, because her body had faded and aged, and had actually turned into a pineapple. She had triggered the mechanism before to deform, probably because of her final stubbornness. If she was forced to move, she would have to be on the spot.

fall apart.

Hoshino crouched down and studied. He used to study mechanical and electrical. It would probably be no problem to just repair it. Moreover, he had iron bags at home, and he might be able to help with the repairs. If he really didn't understand, he would go to the Internet and ask the professional Peony, and he would just take it back with him.

.

"If you can't move it away, then take it back with a Poké Ball. Anyway, Magearna is indeed a special Pokémon, and it should be able to be conquered by the Poké Ball."

"Yes, then I'll do it."

Lillie took out the elf ball. To be honest, she did fall in love with Magearna at first sight. She always felt an inexplicable affinity for her, and then she came up with the idea of ​​taking it away and repairing her.

She touched Magearna's body with the elf ball, but unfortunately after waiting for a while, no red light appeared, which meant that the subjugation failed.

"This... shouldn't be right?"

She looked up and saw Hoshino frowning slightly, so he also took out a Poké Ball and tried it, but it also had no effect, as did Acerola.

"How is that possible? Could it be that you want me to find precious balls to conquer?"

"Could it be because it didn't start?"

"Maybe..."

"..."

Lillie didn't quite understand, so after hesitating for a moment, she reached out and touched the soul heart on Magearna's chest. Since this was the true body, it might have some different effects.

The moment her fingers touched it, her soul heart suddenly burst into light. At the same time, she seemed to feel something, a soothing warmth that gradually calmed down her restless mood.

He was frozen in place.

At this time, Hoshino pulled her away and asked worriedly: "Are you okay? Don't scare people."

"No...it's okay."

Lillie shook her head and came back to her senses, but now her heart was much calmer, because her worries and anxiety about the missing Pokémon case had also been wiped away.

She told her what she had experienced when she touched her soul heart just now. Before Hoshino could speak, Acerola said to the message sent to her by someone on her phone: "I know this!"

"Magiana has the special ability to feel other people's moods and can heal the pain of others, because the princess was born with a disease and was depressed all day long. The king doted on her very much, so Magiana

I’m here to take care of you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Hoshino took over her words and said: "Magearna was created with the purpose of helping other humans and Pokémon. Although it has strong power, it will not do bad things.

Unless someone is using this power maliciously, everything still depends on the user."

"Meow……"

Xinye Miao feels that this is a bit similar to the Treasure of Disaster, but the Treasure of Disaster almost only does bad things, even if this is not their intention...

Of course, Hoshino did not mention Magearna's most critical soul heart. It is said that the soul heart was created by the creator using a large amount of Pokémon's living energy. Once you heard it, you knew it was not a good thing.

After learning something about Magearna from the two of them, Lillie had her own ideas, so she reached out to touch the soul heart again, trying to see if she could communicate with the other party.

At the moment of contact, the soul's heart bloomed with light again, and she began to communicate with the other party, hoping to take it back and repair it.

Magearna is the Pokémon that best understands kindness. When Lillie first came into contact with it, she already knew that the other person was a very kind person, so it had no objection to it.

Seeing that it agreed, Lillie nodded very happily, and this time she touched it with the elf ball. No accident happened, a red light appeared, Magearna was included in the elf ball, and she was successfully subdued.

"Congratulations."

Hoshino and Acerola were happy for her. Lillie shook her head slightly and responded: "I am not its trainer yet. After I help it repair its body, I still need to ask for its opinion. I will not force it.

The Pokémon makes the choice."

"Well, leave the repair to me."

"This is not your problem alone, I will also help!"

As Magearna was subdued, the conversation between the few people gradually returned to the topic, and then asked Little Nebula and Gengar what happened when they came over.

"嘤~"

Little Nebula waved its hands and explained that it saw a black ghost face, which was very scary, and suddenly jumped out from behind Gengar.

Gengar nodded. Although he didn't see it at the time, he felt that there was hostility approaching him. There was no doubt that that thing was eyeing Little Nebula. It can only be said that it was lucky that he followed it at that time.

"The grimace...can you describe what it looks like?"

Hoshino continued to ask. Considering that Nebula's abilities may be limited, he took out his Rotom phone and went to the official website of the Alliance Association to look up the Pokédex and screen the ghost type.

Basically, except for legendary Pokémon and some special Pokémon, all ghost-type Pokémon that have been discovered so far are included.

Even Sai Fuhao was among them. He had already sent the paper on Suo Cai Ling's evolution to Sai Fuhao to Chi Hong, probably for this reason.

I showed Little Nebula one high-definition picture after another, and finally his eyes fell on the page about the pumpkin monster, and he yelled, that’s the pumpkin head!

"The prisoner is the Pumpkin Monster? But isn't the face on its lower body brown?"

"Heterochromatic... The heterochromatic pumpkin monster is a black pumpkin with purple hair, and it would be really scary if it appeared with the help of fog."

"But can the Pumpkin Monster steal Pokémon quietly? This thing is not very flexible, even if it is small..."

"What if there is an accomplice?"

"That's right!"

The three people immediately discussed that it was very possible for a gang to commit the crime. One of its members was a strange pumpkin with different colors. However, its status in the team was not yet clear. Of course, it was not ruled out that it was indeed a crime committed alone. We will wait for confirmation.

good……

Hoshino left a coordinate for the cemetery on the map, so that next time he could come directly according to the route without having to continue running around in the fog.

Then the three of them left and returned to the city. After going back and forth, it was already evening, and they were planning to stay here for two more days. This Pokémon-catching team must be eliminated!

It's a pity that nothing happened that night. They didn't rest. Instead, they formed groups and ran around in the street. If they continued like this, their bodies would not be able to bear it, so they had no choice but to rest during the day.

In this way, the night before Halloween fell. They did not go out again tonight, but borrowed Li Zi's gem shop to continue to rest.

It's a show, since you can't catch it, then you can go directly to the spiritual world passage tomorrow and wait and wait, if you don't believe these guys won't come out, and the purpose of staying here tonight is to observe the situation.

Because she helped with the case and gave her a Z bracelet a few days ago, Li Zi happily gave Hoshino some Z pure crystals as a gift when she left after get off work. Her gem shop was most in need of this, and there were some Z pure crystals in it. It is rather special and is not an attribute pattern.

Lillie was a little worried. After all, it was the last day soon. She released Magearna and prepared to wipe her body. There was too much dust and dirt, and many parts were even rusty.

Although she was careful, she still accidentally touched it and removed Magearna's bunny ears, covering up the little Nebula who was watching the fun. The scene instantly became a little embarrassing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Hoshino petted the cat and glanced at it, then took out something from his bag and threw it over, and said: "Stop fussing, I told you to wait until you get back to do it, first use this all-purpose 502 to stick it."

"Um……"

Neither of them were very sleepy. As for Acerola, she had already fallen asleep holding her big Gengar. After no more noise, she could finally act like a child.

Little Gengar looked through the glass and said hello to Ghost and Ghost passing by outside. Tomorrow is Halloween, and ghost-type Pokémon are everywhere. It would be great if they just came to play.

The motorcycle lizard was lying next to the door and had fallen asleep. It always fell asleep quickly. Now the gem store was very quiet, while outside it was full of ghosts walking at night.

After Lillie used 502 super glue to glue the rabbit ears back to Magearna, she could only put them back into the ball, then hugged Little Nebula, remained silent for a long time, and said softly: "Sometimes, it feels like Little Nebula is so carefree.

It’s really nice, you don’t have to think too much about us and have troubles all day long.”

Hoshino took care of Xinye, who fell asleep, and then responded in a low voice: "Because it is a child. When it grows up, it will also have its own responsibilities. Whether it is a human or a Pokémon, it will grow, like you

Even though I am an adult, I am still growing because I have dreams and responsibilities."

"You are so reasonable..."

"I just told you."

"I like hearing this~"

"Okay, get some rest early. I'll be responsible for keeping watch. Maybe on the last day, the pumpkin monster will come here to catch Little Nebula."

"Well, pay more attention."

Lillie put little Nebula to sleep and put it into her backpack. She lay on the table and quickly fell asleep. Hoshino put the cat next to her, then got up from the chair and walked towards the entrance of the gem shop.

Hearing the footsteps, Gengar looked back and said that there was nothing going on at the moment. The ghost-type Pokémon that appeared were all relatively friendly.

"Yeah, but we can't be careless. It's the last day. These guys will definitely take action. I just don't know why they catch these Pokémon. Is it to eat life energy?"

"Gengar..."

Gengar shook his head. It is a ghost type, so it understands very well that human life energy is purer and more spiritual than Pokémon.

So if you want to eat and catch humans, that's fine. But if you want to catch Pokémon, you can't understand them. Are there none in the wild?

The purpose of these guys is to find Pokémon cubs in urban areas, and the kind that cannot find their parents. If they are in the wild, Master House has already received the commission. If the child is lost, they will definitely go to Kabukicho to find Master House.

Yes, this is word of mouth.

"So I also feel very confused..."

Hoshino shook his head. Sometimes you really can't guess what these guys are thinking.

Just as they were talking, the lights in the gem store suddenly went out, the temperature dropped sharply, and it instantly became extremely quiet, so quiet that it was scary.

"Gengar!"

Gengar immediately looked towards a dark place in the room. Hoshino put his hands in his pockets and turned around to look.

"Tsk, it's actually here..."

Wherever he looked, a pair of strange diamond-shaped eyes suddenly lit up. One was beige with a black vertical pupil in the middle, and the other was black with a beige vertical pupil in the middle, like a big eye and a small eye.

"Hmm? Not the Pumpkin Monster?"

Hoshino frowned slightly, and then without hesitation, he directly asked Gengar to take action, while he used the flashlight of his mobile phone to shine when he shouted to wake up the others.

The lights came on, and I finally saw the opponent's figure clearly. It was a huge Pokémon that resembled a spiny thorn, also called a tumbleweed.

Its dead white branches are purple at the end and hollow in the middle, which looks a bit like a cage. Its body resembles a ghost face, which is very similar to the jack-o-lantern placed in front of the house on Halloween!

"Odd-colored...Hanna-eating grass?!"

Hoshino squinted his eyes. This thing looked like it was also shaped like a pumpkin. With the pumpkin monster from before, what kind of Halloween group debuted?

Confused, all the arrows shot by Gengar actually passed through its body. Its body is hollow, and its branches can be opened, so it can be easily avoided. It can be said that it has no experience against this guy.

But just like that, the attack failed. The Panna-Eating Grass had already opened its branches and started to move. At an extremely fast speed, it grabbed the little Nebula in Lillie's backpack and locked it in her cage-like body.

Once it was successful, the Bina Eater immediately moved away at high speed and rolled towards the darkness. Xinye Miao also woke up in an instant and pounced on it without hesitation, but unfortunately it was in vain.

The experienced Gengar instantly understood that the opponent wanted to pass through the wall through the shadow, but his arrows had no control effect on the ghost system, so he could only intercept it outside.

At this time, everyone else woke up, and the Motorized Lizard immediately rushed out and chased after her. Lillie became anxious when she discovered that Little Nebula was missing, and she was stolen in front of her face.

"This...I..."

"No, you came as soon as I fell asleep?"

Acellola was very unhappy. How could she play like this? These guys were just staring at her, right?

It's a pity that Gengar and Motorized Lizard who chased each other were unable to catch up with each other. They didn't even see their shadows and had no idea where they went.

"Running so fast?"

"Gengar..."

Geng Gui looked remorseful. He couldn't catch up with his opponent at all. The control of spiritual power by Panna-Eating Grass was much stronger than that of Gengar. There was a clear gap in strength between the two sides.

"Don't blame yourself, there is no wild Panna-Eating Grass in the Alola region, and it is so powerful, it must have come from the spirit world!"

"And I'm afraid that guy has been lurking around us, waiting for an opportunity. Halloween is approaching, and ghost-type Pokémon are everywhere. It's easy to confuse the audience, otherwise Gengar would have discovered it long ago."

Hoshino quickly analyzed the situation and found that the appearance of Panna-Eating Grass was so surprising. This could also explain why he had not been caught.

This thing is that before choosing a target to attack, it will keep track of it for a period of time before taking action. It is not easy to seize the only opportunity to relax like this.

Little Nebula was caught in her sleep like this. Lillie didn't know what to say. Did she blame Hoshino for being careless? She was obviously slack, so how could she put it in the bag safely? Just hold it and nothing would happen.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that I wasn’t caught by the Ether Foundation, but the situation was not much better if I was caught by the Panna Eaters. Who knows what these guys will do?

"Let's go to the Hill of Memories. They will definitely be there if they take Little Nebula!"

"Yes, you are so arrogant, I will not let these guys go!"

"Well, let's go."

Hoshino got on the motorcycle lizard, Lillie and Acerola sat on it, and then moved forward at full speed. By the time they arrived at the Hill of Memories, it was already early morning.

The Hill of Memories at this time is completely different from the daytime. It is filled with mist and ghost Pokémon are everywhere. It seems that there are also some things that may not be Pokémon mixed in. In short, this is not a place where creatures should go freely.

place.

"This is a ghost land..."

"After all, the spirit world channel will open normally at 6 o'clock tonight. The spiritual power here is very attractive to ghost-type Pokémon. The wild is not a school, so this number is considered normal."

Acerola explained that they must solve the problem before the spiritual world channel is opened.

However, one thing can be confirmed this time. The criminals are indeed from the spirit world and committed crimes in gangs, but they are not civil servants as previously guessed, because civil servants in the spirit world can freely enter and exit the spirit world, and there is no need to wait until Halloween to open.

.

Moreover, she has come into contact with several civil servants in the spirit world. These guys have their own areas of responsibility. It is absolutely impossible to have companions to assist them. Stealing people's performance is like killing their parents!

"So these two are probably Pokémon living in the spirit world, and then came to Alola. Although I have never been to the spirit world, I know that the environment there is very dangerous!"

"Except for this civil servant who can leave the spirit world at any time, most of the Pokémon living in it are not very good!"

"There's just one question, how did they leave when the spiritual world channel was closed? If it was last year, it would be impossible to wait until now for the case to happen, so it's really strange..."

Acerola was very confused about this, but Hoshino and Lillie frowned and guessed a little.

The space itself in the Alola region is not very stable, and coupled with the abnormal fluctuations in the ultimate space, it may even affect the spiritual world.

"It's getting worse..."

"Well... let's find Little Nebula first!"

Now that it is confirmed that the prisoner is not a civil servant, it is impossible for them to kill these Pokémon. If they die and let the soul attract the civil servant, none of these guys can escape, it is all a performance.

Therefore, the captured Pokémon is probably still safe, at least not life-threatening, but only before the spiritual world channel is opened.

Because once the passage is opened, they will be able to return to the spirit world. When the time comes, they will harvest a wave. Before the civil servants arrive, who can escape with those souls back to the spirit world? Who can catch me?

Thinking of this, the three people set off on the motorcycle lizard and continued to move forward. Maomao was also very angry now, and even the person next to him could make a mistake. There would be no next time, and the Jade of Disaster was activated directly.

The attributes of Pina Eater and Pumpkin Monster are grass ghosts. Under the absolute suppression of evil and fire elements, they will have no ability to resist. The advantage is mine!

When they broke into the mist, the ghost-type Pokémon passing by did not stop them. Instead, they looked like they were watching the fun.

This mysterious fog is different from the fog. Although Hoshino has located the location of the spiritual world passage through the map, no matter how he gives guidance, he cannot reach it. He can still go astray by following the route.

"What's going on?"

"There is too much spiritual power accumulation, and coupled with the special geographical environment of the cemetery here, we may have entered the gap between the spiritual world and the real world, although the spiritual world passage is still closed..."

Aselora guessed like this. She actually didn't know much about it. Although she was born with a special constitution, it didn't mean that she knew everything about it. She could only guess based on some situations.

"Trouble...do you mind if I knock this place down?"

"This is my family cemetery..."

"vyou50."

"make a deal!"

After dealing with an annoying guy, Hoshino directly asked the Motorcycle Lizard to use Dragon Dive and eject to start. Then the red and purple dragon shadow instantly enveloped them all, and the powerful aura spread out, even repelling the surrounding strange fog!

There were several continuous explosions, and many tombstones were smashed into pieces by the Motorized Lizards. This place was caught in the cracks, and the damaged things were not real. The tombstones in the present world are still the same as before.

But the moment the Motorcycle Lizard rushed to the location, the entire ground suddenly collapsed, and the bottom was like an abyss, silent and deep, and they stagnated in mid-air.

"What the hell, where did the trap come from!"

"Don't... you're going to fall!"

"ah!!!"

The Motorized Lizard stepped on the air and all three of them fell down. Gengar had no time to catch them, so he could only follow them immediately and rush into the deep darkness...

I don't know how much time passed, but Hoshino slowly woke up under the push of Gengar and Xinye Miao. He sat up with some dizziness, and then looked at the surrounding environment.

The surroundings were still dark and filled with mist, but the mist seemed to be illuminated by will-o'-wisps, making the already weird environment a little more terrifying.

Not far away, the Motorized Lizard was knocked unconscious. Lillie and Acerola both fainted on top of it. It looked really high, but fortunately the Motorized Lizard managed to withstand it.

"call……"

Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and asked, "What the hell is this place?"

"Gengar..."

Gengar shook his head. He didn't know much about these things. The same happened to Xinye Miao. He suddenly fell from the top and didn't know what happened.

"It's probably some deeper space crack. Alola is really..."

Hoshino doesn’t want to say anything anymore. By the way, isn’t the relic of life near the Hill of Memories? If something happens so close, Kapu Diedie and Kapu Mingming will start to get messed up? Check the status of the patron saint ()

He stood up and went over to wake up the two people who had fallen unconscious and the Motorcycle Lizard. Fortunately, they were not injured at all. The space structure here was quite special, and there was also a strange mist underfoot, so no one could be killed by the fall.

"Are you okay?"

"...Fortunately, what are we talking about?"

Lillie looked around. The environment was completely unfamiliar. Why did things related to the spirit world feel so weird?

Acerola looked around and didn't know how to explain it anymore. She just asked people not to ask her. She really didn't understand anything.

Hoshino didn't know how to explain it. At this time, Xinye Miao expanded the unit of the Disaster Jade and seemed to have discovered something, so he quickly reminded him.

"Um?"

Several people became vigilant and hurriedly walked over to check. However, they never thought that in the strange fog, a puppy with a numb expression was standing there motionless. They didn't know why.

"Rock dog? Is this the one that went missing in the first case? Why is it here?"

"Look over there, there's a Woody Owl and a Pangolin. They are both missing Pokémon."

Lillie pointed not far away, and sure enough, several missing Pokémon appeared in the mist, and their expressions were all numb, as if their souls had been taken away, but their souls were indeed

It is indeed still with me.

"What's going on?"

"Gengar..."

Gengar shook his head, even he couldn't understand. As for Acerola, he was silent for fear that they would continue to ask him questions.

The few people continued to walk forward, and the Pokémon they saw along the way were basically the ones that disappeared in the disappearance case.

Therefore, this place is the hiding place of Bina and Eaters. It was actually lost in other dimensions. No wonder it cannot be found at all.

"The last Heart Scale Treasure that went missing two days ago is also here, but there is no Little Nebula."

"It seems that they have just been captured and haven't had time to do anything yet... Since these Pokémon were left here by them, this guy must not be far from here, so we need to expand the scope to search."

"Um!"

The two set off immediately, with Acerola standing behind. She felt like she was a little redundant. She was just here to help, but she didn't seem to be of much help. If she had known better, she would have learned more about the spiritual world.

However, she was so lively and active that she couldn't help it. She released Gengar and Mimikyu to follow. Relying on her affinity for spiritual power, she immediately ran around, and not far away, she discovered something.

"Come on! There is a house here!"

"What?"

Hearing her voice, Hoshino and Lillie immediately chased after her. Sure enough, in the mist, there was actually a pumpkin-shaped cabin, decorated with pumpkin lanterns decorated with will-o'-wisps.

"Pumpkin house, it must be them!"

With that said, Lillie released her roaring tail and was about to rush over to fight these guys, but was stopped by Hoshino: "Don't worry, let's check the situation first."

"……Um!"

The three of them approached quietly, while Acerola was still feeling proud, but no one paid any attention to her. They lay together by the window of the pumpkin house, completely unaware that several of the will-o'-the-wisps on the huge pumpkin house suddenly went out.

But at this moment, little Nebula was still sleeping beautifully in the room, with different-colored pumpkin monsters and different-colored Panna-Eating Weeds surrounding it, not knowing what they were doing.

"Little Nebula!"

Lillie finally couldn't help it, but Hoshino didn't stop her anymore. In an instant, the entire pumpkin house was ignited with flames, and the energy of disaster swept through the entire house.

This moment made Gengar embarrassed. How can I fight if you set it on fire? It is still very afraid of fire, so the cat can only say sorry to it.

The sudden flames swept across, catching the busy Bana Eater and Pumpkin Monster off guard, and the flames smoked all over their bodies. The effect of the Jade of Disaster was very obvious to them.

But in the next second, as the pumpkin monster's body shook slightly, both flames and disasters were swallowed up in an instant.

"Meow?"

Feeling the sudden drop in the surrounding temperature, Xinye Miao was stunned. At this moment, it suddenly discovered that its attribute had changed to the ghost type.

"Halloween is activated. There is something wrong with this pumpkin monster's strength. Be careful!"

"pumpkin!"

The pumpkin monster grabbed Little Nebula, and several people stopped their attack for an instant, just looking at the gradually weird black pumpkin head.

Panna-Eating Grass has finally recovered from the flames. Disasters may be very effective for creatures in the physical world, but for Pokémon from the spirit world, the effect is not very great, because living in the spirit world, almost all the time

All disasters happen.

Seeing that they were grabbing Little Nebula to threaten her and others, Lillie asked angrily: "What on earth do you bad guys want to do! And what have you done to those Pokémon with numb expressions outside!"

"

"Pumpkin~"

The pumpkin monsters sneered. They didn't do anything. They just threw these children into the tomb of dreams and stayed here forever.

"The graveyard of dreams?"

"Pumpkin~"

The pumpkin monster continued to sneer, and then opened his mouth, as if he was about to suck something away from Little Nebula, and he also stretched out his branches with the Panna-Eating Grass, intending to share this last luxurious meal.

They are not like those ordinary ghost-type Pokémon. Life energy? Ordinary food? Don't be kidding, what can you do by eating these? Can you become stronger?

The real way to become stronger should be like this. Compared with life energy, a thing called dreams is more valuable!

Whether you are a human or a Pokémon, if you want to truly grow up, you must have dreams. This is the motivation needed for growth and is very nutritious.

Especially those Pokémon born in cities and accompanied by humans since birth will have better room for growth. Their starting point is already much higher than that of wild Pokémon, and their simple thinking is better than complex ones.

Humans are more delicious.

After hearing this, Lillie didn't know how they did it, but looking at the Pokémon that had their dreams taken away and became numb, she knew that this dream should just be a nicer name.

Thinking of this, she instantly became angry and shouted: "It's too much. Taking away children's dreams like this is no different from killing them. It's even more abominable!"

"Pumpkin~"

The Pumpkin Monster continued to sneer contemptuously, children don't need any dreams, they just need to be manipulated like dolls and toys before they grow up.

"Without their own dreams, children will never be able to grow up, and it will even be difficult for them to survive. It is because of your ignorant thoughts that it really harms them!"

Lillie retorted excitedly, she was like this in the past, she was manipulated like a doll by Lusamine, she would always be a child!

As for now, she has stepped out and embarked on her own growth path, so after seeing little Nebula's carefree daily life, she really wants to take good care of it, at least while it is still a child.

I can continue to be so happy!

Seeing that Lillie was so excited, Hoshino naturally wouldn't stand still. This so-called dream was probably some kind of spiritual energy. Once it was really taken away, I'm afraid it would be just a toy for the rest of its life.

"You do this kind of thing for your own selfish gain... Now that you're here, stay here and give back the dreams that were taken away from these children!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gengar rushed forward and punched hard, but before he could touch the pumpkin monster, it was knocked away by a burst of shadow balls transformed by spiritual power. The effect was outstanding.

Seeing this, Arcelora had already seen the strength of her opponent and shouted: "This guy is so strong, and his strength may be stronger than the night demon we met two years ago. Don't confront him head-on!"

"If I don't face it, I won't be who I am!"

"Gengar!"

Gengar endured the pain and stood up to meet them again, followed closely by the Motorized Lizard. But at this time, the Banana Grass-Eating Grass finally took off, appearing on them in an instant with extremely fast movement speed.

But this time, Xinye Miao didn't sleep. He attacked the opponent the moment he appeared, but was hit in the stomach by one of its branches and flew away.

"Meow?"

Maomao endured the pain and was surprised that the attack speed was faster than his reaction speed? How is this possible? This guy is obviously so big!

Before he had time to think about it, Maomao had already fallen to the ground. Its attribute had changed to the ghost type, and the attack just now had the same effect.

Looking at this scene, Hoshino knew that the strength of these guys was probably at the level of treasure masters without seasoning. I am afraid that this is the power gained after absorbing dreams.

But on my side, all of them are fierce warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles, so they have nothing to fear!

Although the Pumpkin Monster and the Panna-Eating Grass Eater were very strong, under the combined efforts of the three of them, they were still at a disadvantage, and even the little Nebula was lost.

Lillie caught Little Nebula and finally breathed a sigh of relief. All that was left was to defeat these two guys and let them return those Pokémon dreams.

But at this moment, even though they were at a disadvantage, the Pumpkin Monster and the Panna Eater did not panic at all. The strange fog drifted into the house from the window, and the pumpkin house seemed a little weird in the strange fog.

Acellola suddenly reminded anxiously: "Be careful, there is something wrong with the spiritual energy here, a lot of spiritual energy around you is pouring in here!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole house began to shake. Everyone hurriedly left. After escaping, they realized that the pumpkin house seemed to be alive at this moment. The smile on the pumpkin's face was even weirder. It was different from the smile of the weird pumpkin before.

No second thoughts!

At this time, the house changed again. A huge branch suddenly grew from below, grabbing it completely. Long purple hair flowed above it, and it looked like the Panna-eating Grass had trapped the pumpkin monster. However, the overall appearance was already

Close to five meters in size!

"This... is combined?"

"The house is just deformed. I guess these are controlled by their power. So what if they are big? I wonder if it is difficult for large monsters to escape being defeated! Especially the ones that come out at the end!"

Hoshino didn't panic at all, he took out the seasonings and prepared to serve them, but at this moment, a strange laugh suddenly came!

In the surrounding mist, figures one after another slowly walked over. The Pokémon that had been robbed of their dreams were like puppets, approaching them, as if they were preparing to stop them all.

"Pumpkin~"

The laughter mixed with the two screams continued to come from the Stitch Monster, directing these Pokémon and preventing them from continuing to attack.

And not just them, but also the little Nebula who was hugged by Lillie. Just now, Little Nebula's dream had been taken away, so the pumpkin monster threw it away.

Being disturbed by Pokémon, the Biker Lizard was unwilling to attack these guys. It was originally here to save them, and they were just innocent children.

"Xiao Xingyun, wake up!"

Lillie shouted anxiously, but Little Nebula with a numb expression seemed not to hear anything, because now for these Pokémon, they are all enemies, enemies that hinder their own choices and take away their freedom!

Noticing the pumpkin group turning away, Acerola immediately guessed what they were going to do, and the Alliance shouted: "They are going to forcefully open the channel to the spirit world!"

"What? These two old men are not willing to wait for most of the day!"

Hoshino cursed, and then he was directly pressed by several Pokémon. He actually used a child as a shield. How shameless!

"Gengar!"

Gengar was floating in the air and was not intercepted, so he immediately chased after him. Acerola also immediately let her big Gengar sneak into the shadows to pursue. The advantage of the ghost-type Pokémon came out at this moment.

The two Gengars, one behind the other, chased the Pumpkins, while Hoshino and the others tried their best to get rid of these Pokémon without harming them...

The pumpkin combination was too big and didn't move very fast, so it was soon caught up. However, after absorbing so many dreams, the pumpkin's strength has reached a very astonishing level, especially the control of spiritual power!

As soon as the two Gengars approached, they were knocked away by the spiritual power affected by their power. The difference in strength was too great, so I was afraid that I had no choice but to invite the Dolphin Man.

"Gengar!"

Little Gengar looked at it with a serious expression, but at the same time he was very angry inside. This kind of guy who uses children's dreams as his own power is so abominable!

It was once a child, and it was really just a doll, but from the moment it was clipped out of the claw machine, it had its own dreams, hoping to no longer be alone and have more friends, so it also

You have endured a lot, this is growth!

so……

Gengar's eyes turned scarlet at this moment, and his aura became violent in an instant. Hoshino turned it black. For enemies like this, there is no need to correct it, just tear it down!

"Gengar!"

"!!!"

The big Gengar was directly frightened by its momentum and hurriedly hid. At this moment, Gengar had released the pressure accumulated in his heart for a long time, truly released his pink and violent nature, and no longer listened to anyone's orders.

The spiritual power it burst out from the pumpkin combination no longer knows what it means to be powerful. It has only one goal in mind, which is to completely kill this opponent!

On the other side, Acerola successfully broke free from the pile of Pokémon by virtue of her petite figure and affinity for spiritual powers.

She realized that what controlled these Pokémon was the spiritual power from the pumpkin combination. As long as they were defeated, the control would naturally be released.

"Come on, hold on, I'll kill those two guys!"

"Wait a minute, take this!"

"What?"

Arcelora was stunned for a moment, then took the Z bracelet and Ghost Z Pure Crystal that Hoshino threw over. After a brief silence, she instantly recognized what they were, her face was filled with happiness and she was extremely excited.

"Is this...really given to me?"

"Gulu gulu..."

Hoshino was completely overwhelmed and speechless. Lillie let her cell phone Rotom fly out, called up the Z-move, and taught it to the other party.

"Please..."

"You guys... go on your way with peace of mind! Acerola will definitely take care of the rest!"

As she said that, she immediately ran forward excitedly. She couldn't help showing a surprised expression when she saw the little Gengar starting to break branches in the distance. Then she started to learn the use of Z moves on the spot, and asked her own Gengar to come over.

"Watch well and study hard!"

"Gengar!"

When we started learning here, the little Gengar was already crazy and broke several branches in succession, but the pumpkin combination didn't take it seriously.

The shell is just damaged. As long as there is no problem with them as the core, they will be fine. Hurry up and open the channel to the spirit world. Although these guys are very strong, they will be safe as long as they escape. These creatures cannot enter the spirit world.

.

At this moment, Acerola finally learned the move completely, pursed her lips with a proud expression, and then smiled: "Look at my Z move!"

"Gengar!"

As the action ended, she waved her little hands and shouted: "The temptation of the endless dark night!"

As the words fell, the surrounding misty environment was instantly shrouded in a dark red sky. On the ground, a large number of tombstones appeared out of thin air, and countless invisible hands sprang out from the tombs and attacked the pumpkin combination!

All the spiritual power in the space was affected by this Z move. The pumpkin combination finally felt the crisis and quickly accelerated their pace. However, as these spiritual powers from the spiritual world were pulled, the spiritual world channel was completely revealed at this moment!

The pumpkin group instantly became excited, but the Z-move had already hit them, and their huge bodies disintegrated in an instant, but the pumpkin monsters and the Panna-eating Grass Eaters hiding inside began to escape at a faster speed.

After finishing the shot, Acerola collapsed directly on the ground. Fortunately, the surrounding spiritual energy nourished her body, and she did not faint, but was just weak.

The shell of the pumpkin turtle was shattered, which meant that the two of them had completely lost their last line of defense. Gengar locked on the target and faced it bravely!

But they had no desire to fight, and they walked into the passage. The blackened Gengar followed without any hesitation, and chased into his hometown.

As they left, the controlled Pokémon, like puppets that had escaped from the puppet strings, all stopped moving and continued to stand there with numb expressions. The same was true for Little Nebula.

But the moment Hoshino got rid of the obstacle, he immediately got up and ran towards the spiritual world passage. Lillie was at a loss. Seeing this scene, she quickly shouted: "Where are you going!"

"Hey! He's going to die!"

Acerola shouted with her last strength, not to mention that there would be rules to exclude, isn't it a pure act of seeking death for a living person to forcefully break into the spirit world passage, and even risk his life to save these Pokémon?

"..."

Looking at Hoshino's back, Lillie stretched out her hand to hold him, but in the end she could only see him walking away alone and disappearing into the spiritual world passage. Then she slowly put her hand down. She didn't seem to accompany him there.

courage...

Inside the spirit world, the temperature is extremely cold, but the sky is filled with yellow sand, and no other figure can be seen.

Hoshino walked through the passage and stepped on this barren land, constantly looking around. It had the friendship given by Sui Fengqiu, and the spirit world pass allowed him to move in the spirit world at will without being affected.

"This is the spiritual world? It's very different from what I imagined..."

He frowned, Gengar had already ran in, so there was no need to panic. If a Pokémon other than a ghost type entered here, it would have some impact.

Withdrawing his gaze, he was not very interested in the environment in the spiritual world. What was important now was to find the escaped pumpkin group, kill them, and spit out all the absorbed dreams.

Soon he found traces of moving tumbleweeds and immediately chased after them.

He just didn't notice that just after he entered the spirit world, a pair of orange-red eyes quietly appeared and stared at him in the shadow...

The grass-eaters and the pumpkin monsters moved very quickly, but after they were far away from the passage to the spiritual world, they no longer panicked because they believed that those guys couldn't come in. This is the spiritual world and no living thing is allowed to enter!

"Pumpkin~"

The two of them laughed one after another, and then looked at the blackened Gengar who was coming from behind. So what about the crazy batch? Let you see what the difference in strength is!

The moment Gengar approached, they simultaneously used stealth attacks and disappeared in place, and then appeared from both sides to engage in a double-team attack.

But the moment they chose to engage in close combat, they made a big mistake. Gengar opened his hands and stopped them at the same time. He quickly closed them and collided with each other, and then pinned them down on the sand below.

The battle broke out like this. Although they were stronger, the pumpkin group was still suppressed, but only this time.

The Pumpkin Monster is of extra-large size, and his strength is extremely amazing. However, he simply did not react. Now his size and strength suppressed him, and he directly pinned Gengar into the sand.

The Panna-Eating Grass instantly spread out its branches and stabbed it, instantly piercing Gengar's furry body. It seemed to be preparing to kill Gengar for real. Pokémon in the spirit world have no concept of death.

Gengar was impaled and lifted up high. Hoshino, who came over, happened to see this scene. His eyes turned cold instantly. He took out the seasoning he had prepared for the Motorized Lizard, and tore off part of it and swallowed it directly.

"You really thought that Super Alola people had no fighting ability, didn't you?"

"..."

The eyes hidden in his shadow watched this scene silently, and then Hoshino rushed forward and punched the pumpkin monster who was about to attack to the ground.

Gengar also used his backhand to break off the branches of Panna-Eating Grass and escaped. Then he aimed another punch at Hoshino, but stopped at the moment when it was about to hit.

"Gengar..."

Gengar took his hand back and seemed much calmer. Even if he turned completely black and turned into a madman, he could still distinguish the people closest to him and whom he trusted.

Hoshino nodded slightly, it was a little better than last time, and then handed it the remaining seasoning and said: "Recover your strength, the doll is easily injured... I will patch it up for you when you get back. Anyway, it was injured before.

I handle it all."

"Gengar..."

Compared to the last time when he turned black and couldn't hear anyone's voice, Gengar seemed to hear his voice this time. Then he stretched out his hands to catch the seasoning and ate it directly.

At the same time, the broken branches of the Panna-Eating Grass were reunited with the Pumpkin Monster, and transformed into a pumpkin combination just like the previous house. Their power doubled, and they seemed ready to kill them all directly.

"Oh, it's up to you?"

"Gengar!"

Gengar was about to rush forward immediately, but Hoshino showed off his Z bracelet. Because his ghost Z was given to Acerola, he took out a special Z pure crystal that Lizzy had given him before.

This is a pure crystal that is dark green and somewhat resembles grass. However, the pattern inside is not that of grass, but the head of a sniper tree owl.

He has only told others about the regular Z-pure crystals. Regarding the exclusive Z-pure crystals, since he doesn't have a few of them and can't demonstrate them, he can only leave it at that for the time being, but now is the time!

Hoshino mounted the Sniper Tree Owl Z on his Z bracelet, raised his arms, and began to prepare for the action. However, the Pumpkin Combination showed no martial ethics, and actually stuck on the Z move and swung forward, attacking directly!

Gengar was about to attack, but for some unknown reason, the Pumpkin combination suddenly stopped in place. In just a moment, Hoshino had completed his action.

"Although my memories of my childhood are basically blurred and I don't have any ideas, maybe that's it, but at least... now I can protect the dreams of these children!"

"Gengar!"

Gengar was enveloped by Z power, and ejected, flying towards the sky, and began to use Z moves with all his strength. The extremely pure spiritual power around him turned into black arrows all over the sky, and the entire sky in the spiritual world seemed to be filled with arrows.

Arrow cover!

"Shadow arrows that cover the sky!!!"

Hoshino waved his hand downwards vigorously, Gengar brought all the arrows, and thousands of arrows fell from the sky. The pumpkin combination could finally move. It was visible that the sky was like this, even they were in shock at this moment.

But they will not be afraid after absorbing so many dreams. The spiritual world is also their home field, and their strength can be increased by ten or even nine levels!

Countless branches rise from the sand, with pumpkins that accumulate energy and are about to explode hanging from the ends, shooting towards the sky together!

The attacks from both sides collided in mid-air, and countless pumpkin bombs detonated, blooming with brilliant sparks under the dark purple sky of the spiritual world. Those branches rising from the ground were like giant trees, and they blocked the arrows one after another.

But Gengar in the blackened state is fearless. It drags all the arrows through the explosion. It doesn't matter even if it is attacked. It opens its eyes wide, showing a crazy look, and falls with the arrows!

There was a loud bang!

Gengar and Pumpkin collided on the ground. They were about to make a final struggle, but all the remaining arrows were shot into their bodies, penetrated their bodies and pinned them to the ground, and detonated again at the last moment!

boom--

I'm afraid the Pumpkin Group never dreamed that this guy would rush over with the intention of dying together. Crazy criticism is really terrifying.

But it's too late to regret. Guys like this who take away children's innocent dreams and use them should be punished like this!

"Is it over..."

Hoshino looked at the center of the explosion, and then immediately ran over. As long as the seasoning was consumed, Gengar would definitely be fine, but the power was indeed too great.

Using ghost-type moves in a place like the spirit world can actually be strengthened. It is indeed the home of the ghost-type, and other attributes will be suppressed here.

But as soon as he got closer, from the explosion smoke, a figure that seemed to be made of gray shadows of smoke walked out. The area around its face was similar to a helmet, with two curved horns on the top. Orange-red eyes were watching silently.

This way.

And just on the gray mist where the shadow extended out from under its feet, there were actually three figures clutching at it, including Gengar who had faintly recovered from his blackening state, and the extremely panicked Pumpkin Monster and Panna-Eating Grass.

"Ma~"

"The law enforcer of the spiritual world...Mashado?!"

Hoshino stayed where he was. This was what the other party called himself, but from the title, he knew that his rank must be higher than those civil servants in the spirit world!

What is law enforcement? That is, if someone violates the rules of the spirit world, then they will come forward to deal with it. It is a law enforcement department similar to the police.

"Ma!"

Mashado's eyes instantly became serious. Those who leave the spirit world without permission will be punished, and those who break into the spirit world without permission will also be punished. This is the rule of the spirit world!

Hoshino understood what it meant and quickly explained: "These two pumpkins came to the real world to catch children. I came in to chase them!"

"Ma!"

Marshado already knows this, but as a matter of fact, the pumpkin combination will handle it, and the dreams that were taken away from the children will be returned.

But how do living beings come to the spiritual world through the passage of the spiritual world? An explanation must be given!

According to the rules of the spirit world, there is only one way for living beings to enter the spirit world. They can only reach it by passing through the "Destroyed World", the parallel point between the two worlds, so you are sneaking across.

"..."

Hoshino doesn't know these rules. He has the pass talent, so he can just barge in. The pass has been issued, how can it be regarded as smuggling? Although I don't know if this pass is legal...

He tried to reason with Marshado, but the other party seemed to accept death and insisted on arresting him too. Just when he was anxious, Marshado suddenly paused for a moment and threw Gengar back.

"Eh? Are you going to let me go now?"

"Ma!"

Machado waved his hand impatiently, the exit was over there, and told him to get out quickly, or he would be executed on the spot.

"So fierce..."

Hoshino was a little confused. Since he was let go, he immediately left with Gengar, but he still didn't notice that in his shadow, the pair of orange-red eyes seemed to be looking at him very curiously.

After he left, Mashado grabbed the pumpkin combination, then looked up at the dark purple sky in the spiritual world, and saw a huge figure with six ghost-like wings flying quietly.

"Ma..."

…
