I was resurrected and became a Ghost-type Pokémon Master.

Chapter 119 Spirit Realm

Guihai felt somewhat confused.

He felt as if he were fully conscious.

But his body told him that he was in a coma.

Reason told him that he should be seventeen now, but what was happening in front of him was everything that had happened when he was ten.

It felt like a dream, yet also like reality.

Gui Hai covered his head, unable to tell what state he was in.

"Xiao Hai, I need to go to town. Will you come with me?"

A familiar and gentle voice rang in Gui Hai's ears, dispelling his confusion.

Gui Hai stared blankly at the old woman in front of him, who looked younger than the Granny Gu in his memory.

Grandma Gu looked at Gui Hai, who was unwilling to speak, and kindly reached out to pat his head.

"Let's go to town with Grandma. It's almost your birthday. Tell Grandma what you want and she'll buy it for you."

Guihai felt a pair of hands grasp his, and then pull him toward the town not far from the Other Shore Tower.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Guihai had a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

He remembered that he had originally been training with his Pokémon on the fourth basement level of the Other Shore Tower.

However, the stone gate, which had never had any problems before, suddenly malfunctioned and absorbed its companions into it.

They followed me in in order to find Gengar.

But now, he is in a different state.

It felt like a dream, or like being transported to a new world.

However, Guihai could clearly sense the energy within his own body, as well as the vague locations of Gengar and the others.

It was as if he could break free from all of this and return to his original world if he wanted to.

But looking at the scene before him, Guihai suddenly felt an urge to continue looking.

"Xiao Hai, look, this is the Pokémon Breeding Center. Don't you like Pokémon? Come on, Grandma will take you to see those little Pokémon."

Guihai was pulled by his mother-in-law and walked into the breeding house in the town.

Because of Grandma Gu, they received a warm welcome.

However, Guihai could clearly see that those people were far away from him.

No one dared to come within two meters of him.

They all stood far apart, forcing stiff smiles.

Guihai felt nothing, yet he felt something piercing his heart.

However, Pokémon quickly attracted Guihai's attention.

There are many common Pokémon here.

Oddish, Caterpillar, Pidgey...

There are also some that are quite rare.

Nidoran, Nidoran, Big Crab...

Some are newly hatched, while others already possess some strength.

Guihai also immediately took a liking to a Cyndaquil.

Guihai pointed at the little fireball rat, as if he had made the decision himself, yet also as if he were an observer.

"Grandma, can I catch a Cyndaquil as my starter Pokémon?"

Grandma Gu affectionately patted Guihai's little head: "Of course you can, but capturing a Pokémon is a joint matter between the trainer and the Pokémon. You have to ask that little guy if he'd like to become your Pokémon."

Upon hearing this, Guihai broke free from Granny Gu's hand and jogged forward, intending to ask the Cyndaquil if it would be willing to become his Pokémon.

But just as they were getting close...

Ghost Sea suddenly stopped, stopping two meters away from Fireball Rat.

Grandma Gu and the others acted as if they hadn't seen anything, still smiling as they looked at Gui Hai.

The two shadows suddenly separated.

The ten-year-old Guihai ran towards the Fireball Rat, while the seventeen-year-old Guihai turned back to look at the kind Granny Gu. He didn't need to look to know what was going to happen.

This is his memory, the path he has walked; what has happened will not change.

His goal, like this frozen history, will never change.

"Thank you, Grandma, but I prefer ghosts. I'll show the whole world just how powerful ghosts, whom people dislike, really are."

The dream shattered, and Guihai, wearing a mysterious mask, opened his eyes.

He found himself in a dazzling darkness.

Something seemed to float past him, giving him a distinct sense of familiarity, similar to Gengar being by his side.

But there was clearly nothing there in his sight.

Gui Hai reached out and touched the creature that had just swam away, muttering to himself, "This... is... the Spirit Realm?"

System scan.

[Ding, scan complete.]

Name: Spirit World

Description: The home of all living beings, and the birthplace of Ghost-type Pokémon.

Name: Night Patrol Spirit

Attribute: Ghost

...]

As the Pokémon that had just wandered away revealed its original form under the system's scan, Guihai gave it a slight look.

A face like white bones, with red eyes.

Its dark gray body, resembling a cloak, looks like a chibi version of the Grim Reaper.

"So, the spirit realm lies behind the stone door on the fourth underground level of the Other Shore Tower. No wonder, no wonder the ghost energy here is so abundant."

"But why did the stone door suddenly open?"

Gui Hai looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, somewhat puzzled.

I sensed the general direction of Gengar and the others.

One thing is somewhat fortunate: both the twin sword sheaths and Azure Flame are asleep in their own shadows, seemingly trapped in the same state that Ghost Sea had entered before.

They caught up with their speed at the last second and entered their own shadows, instead of being scattered like Gengar and the others.

"I hope Gengar and the others are alright."

Seeing the three sleeping Pokémon, Guihai was worried that Gengar and the others might also fall into this state.

However, since all three of them are either Elite Four or Champion-level Pokémon, there shouldn't be any Pokémon that could cause them any harm.

Since they all talk in their sleep, there shouldn't be any problem.

After determining the direction, Guihai pushed off with his feet and leaped lightly, drifting past like a ghost.

"The gravity here is different from outside. I can't even feel my own weight. Is it some kind of levitation property?"

Gui Hai looked at himself, his feet barely touching the ground, as he swiftly passed by, somewhat puzzled.

But finding Gengar and the others is the priority right now; we can deal with these other things after we meet up.

Time in the spirit world seems to be different from that outside. Gui Hai felt like he had been floating for more than ten minutes, but his body felt like it had been several days, and he was already hungry.

Reaching out of the shadows, he pulled out some energy cubes to fill his stomach, and then continued on his way.

This time he floated for more than ten hours, but he didn't feel tired at all.

"What a strange place."

As Guihai sensed the distance between himself and Gengar getting closer, he couldn't help but increase his speed slightly.

Soon, Guihai saw the chubby boy enveloped in a ball of dark purple light.

"Gengar."

Ghost Sea landed next to Gengar and shouted loudly.

However, Gengar was also in a certain state, completely ignoring Ghostsea's calls, and remained fast asleep.

His once carefree brows were now tightly furrowed, as if he were having a bad dream.
