Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 329 Gengar, capable of stealing souls from the spirit world!

"There's something there, in the shadows over there!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Nine-Tailed Fox looked at a tree about five meters away behind the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Rex and spoke.

"In the shadows?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan looked thoughtfully at the shade of the tree.

"Gorgeous! (Could it be a ghost?)"

Upon hearing this, Scorpion King shouted eagerly.

"Get lost! There's no ghost here, it's probably just a Ghost-type Pokémon!"

Upon hearing Scorpion King's words, Qingyuan slapped it on the head and said.

“Gore! (Oh!)”

Feeling the force on his head, Scorpion King covered his head with his pincers and blankly uttered an "oh" to Qingyuan.

"Kou Jie!"

Under the watchful eyes of Qingyuan and the others, a Gengar slowly emerged from the shade of the tree.

"I just want to borrow some food from you, I absolutely have no intention of harming you!"

Seeing the menacing Gliscor and the others staring at him, Gengar clasped his hands together, bowed to Qingyuan, and said...

Are you having some kind of trouble?

Upon hearing Gengar's words, Qingyuan pressed down on Gliscor's pincers, which were about to strike, and spoke to Gengar in a gentle tone.

"I'm a little hungry, and food has been hard to find around here lately, so I'd like to borrow some from you!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Gengar seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

He quickly said to Qingyuan.

"We've just started eating, would you like to come and have some?"

Hearing this, Qingyuan glanced at the food bowls of Gliscor and the others, and said to Gengar with a smile.

"Yes, yes, thank you very much!"

Upon hearing this, Gengar quickly nodded to Qingyuan.

"Then come over and have some with us, Scorpion King, lower your guard!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan called out to Gengar and then turned to prepare food for it.

"With so many cemeteries around here, you're not going to be able to find food?"

Looking at the Gengar in front of her, Ninetales couldn't help but ask curiously.

It couldn't imagine how lazy this Gengar was, that it couldn't even find food to fill its stomach in a place full of graveyards.

"Damn it! (A whole bunch of Night Demons have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and they've not only captured my friends!)"

"Ghostly! (It's still consuming all the ghost-type energy around the graveyard!)"

"Oh dear! (That's why I have no food to eat and I'm starving!)"

"Damn it! (If I weren't planning to fight those guys tonight, I wouldn't have come to you for help!)"

Upon hearing Ninetales' words, Gengar immediately looked aggrieved and gritted its teeth as it spoke to it.

"The Night Demon?"

Hearing this, Qingyuan brought over a bowl of Pokémon food with a few Ghost-type Energy Cubes added to it, and said with a puzzled look.

"Aren't they all playing in the spirit world?"

"How did we end up in Aster Town?!"

Qingyuan handed the Pokémon food to Gengar and said with a puzzled look.

"Kou Jie! (I don't know, maybe they're here to arrest my friend!)"

"Ku Jie! (These past two days, many of my friends in the cemetery have been captured by them!)"

"I fought them several times, but I lost!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Gengar took the Pokémon food from Qingyuan's hand and began to eat it while saying something.

"Wait a minute, are they all soul-capturing creatures?"

Why catch Ghost-type Pokémon?

Qingyuan looked puzzled upon hearing Gengar's words.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked Gengar with a curious look.

"Could you please tell me who your friends are?"

"What's wrong with Nidoran, Nidoran, Jigglypuff, and Eevee?"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Gengar didn't pay any attention and spoke directly to Qingyuan.

Do they all live in cemeteries?

Looking at the innocent-looking Gengar in front of him, Qingyuan pointed to the cemetery in Aster Town and said.

"Yeah!"

"Kou Jie! (You don't know, they all lived in a little box at first!)"

"Ugh! (It took me a lot of effort to pull them out of the box!)"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Gengar nodded and said to Qingyuan.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan finally understood why the Night Demon Spirit had come here.

Damn, such a large group of souls are stranded in this area for unknown reasons.

As spirit guides, they would definitely come to investigate and, incidentally, guide these souls to the spirit world.

And this Gengar in front of us actually managed to snatch the soul from the Spirit Realm.

It's quite capable too!

"Listen to me, don't fight them!"

"Go say a proper goodbye to your friends, and then let them leave with the Night Demon!"

Having figured this out, Qingyuan patted Gengar's head and said.

"Why?!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Gengar asked with a puzzled expression.

Its friends are all going to be captured, so why doesn't Qingyuan let it fight the Night Demon, but instead lets its friends leave with the Night Demon?

"All your friends are dead; what you've seen are their spirits!"

"They were originally going to the spirit world, but because you pulled them out of the spirit world, they are able to stay in this world!"

"And the Night Demons are messengers of the spirit world; their job is to guide souls to the spirit world!"

"They came here to collect souls because they found too many souls lingering here!"

In other words, you've disturbed your friends' reincarnation!

Upon hearing Gengar's words, Qingyuan explained them to it in detail.

"Kiss! (But they're also really going to miss their trainers and friends!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Gengar hurriedly defended himself to Qingyuan.

"But they are spirits; they should go where they belong!"

"Otherwise, they will bring negative changes to this world!"

"Imagine carefully, from the moment you made your first friend, has the environment here changed significantly?"

Upon hearing Gengar's words, Qingyuan spoke to it.

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Gengar began to carefully recall the changes that had occurred in Aster Town during this period.

It seems that this is indeed the case; the more friends it brings out, the greater the environmental changes in Aster Town become.

In the past, you could still see the sun during the day in Aster Town.

However, during this period, Aster Town was gloomy even during the day.

If it weren't for the Night Demon's arrival a few days ago, which absorbed some of the ghost-type energy in the vicinity...

Even at midday, Ziyuan Town is probably still shrouded in darkness.

It would never be possible for the sun's rays to appear like they are now.

"But if they leave, I'll have no friends left!"

Having figured this out, Gengar stared blankly at Qingyuan and said...
