The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 40 The Incompetent Gastly

Even without the sword sheath's reminder, Lin Ye wouldn't have been able to indulge in enjoyment. Just a few days ago, he was struggling to survive in a magical world fraught with danger, and the desire to increase his power was already embedded in his genes.

The man and two ghosts teased the "feudal remnant" Dujianshe before heading out again.

Lin Ye didn't plan to go to the sacred mountain today, otherwise he would have simply stayed there to develop in the morning.

He figured the three mid-grade "ghost gems" he had ordered a few days ago should have arrived, and he was going to pick them up.

Over the past few days, the three little devils have absorbed all the low-quality "ghost gems," and their sensitivity to ghost-type energy has increased considerably.

Lin Ye believed that once they absorbed these intermediate-level "ghost gems," they would definitely experience a significant improvement.

It's important to know that a single mid-quality attribute gem costs 100,000 League Coins, and you need to purchase a large quantity of goods before you can reserve it, so it must be a very good thing for Pokémon.

However, the three intermediate-grade "Ghost Gems" that Lin Ye had ordered before were all prepared for Zorua.

At the time, I never expected that in just a few days, I would have a Snow Fairy and a Single Sword Sheath by my side. Now I can only get one at a time, so the improvement effect won't be as obvious.

But it doesn't matter, it brought out some burial objects from the old prince's tomb before, all of which are antiques, and they can definitely be sold for some money.

Lin Ye flew directly to Shuijing Department Store on his sword. He went to the antique section first and took out all the burial items he had brought out from the ancient tomb last time, except for the "Cursed Armor", and handed them over to the appraisers for inspection.

In the Pokémon world, every day there are trainers or adventurers who find some old antiques in some ancient site, cave, or even the seabed.

Therefore, it's not a big deal for Lin Ye to take out these things; there's no need to worry about attracting any special attention.

After appraisal, these burial items were indeed of some value, but not particularly remarkable. In the end, the antiques together were valued at 1.3 million.

Lin Ye was an outsider in this matter, and since there were many other ways to make money in the future, he didn't object and made a move.

However, this deal greatly displeased the sword sheath hiding in Lin Ye's shadow, and it tried to dissuade him through telepathy:

"Brother Lin, please think it over. These things of mine were all buried with my lord. Selling them to these merchants is a desecration of the imperial family's dignity."

"Brother Jian, you are mistaken. Instead of letting these things gather dust in the ancient tomb, why not sell them and exchange them for resources to improve your strength? Wouldn't that be more beneficial to your future plans?"

"And if you succeed in restoring your kingdom in the future, your lord, who provided these resources, will surely be honored. He will be grateful to you, so why would he blame you!"

"Yes, yes, yes~ Rather than wasting good steel on the hilt, it's better to use it on the blade, which can also help in the restoration of the country. Brother Lin, your words have truly awakened me from my dream."

After receiving the money, Lin Ye immediately spent most of it.

First, I bought Pokémon Energy Cubes suitable for the Sword Sheath and Froslass, and then I bought some Ice Gems and Steel Gems.

Next, he retrieved the three intermediate "ghost gems" he had been longing for, and then ordered one intermediate gem each of the steel, ice, and normal types!

After carefully packing the acquired goods into his spatial backpack, Lin Ye left Shuijing Department Store and randomly walked into a secluded alley!

Lin Ye released his mental energy, scanning the area like a radar. After confirming that no one else was around, he summoned the three ghosts and distributed the three mid-grade gems he had just acquired to them!

Sororia's actions were the most direct. It opened its mouth wide to catch the gem, then lay down on the spot, trembling all over, as if it was using all its strength to suck up the pure ghost energy in the gem, filling its mouth with black mist and choking repeatedly, yet it was unwilling to loosen its grip even a little.

The Snow Fairy was much more elegant. She held the gemstone in both hands, hovered in mid-air, her eyes slightly closed, and her body was surrounded by cold air. Her movements were as beautiful as a painting!

Of course, we have to ignore the drool that's about to drip from the corner of its mouth!

The single-bladed scabbard attaches the gemstone to the ribbon on the hilt, and then the sword tip is tilted upwards, absorbing the jewel and making a humming sound, somewhat like it is charging.

The energy contained in the mid-grade gemstone was extremely pure and powerful. Even though it had only just begun, the aura on the three ghosts had already become noticeably more solid.

However, mid-grade gems are not absorbed that quickly, so Lin Ye sat cross-legged and waited, while his mental energy continuously probed his surroundings.

With Lin Ye's current spiritual power, which has reached that of a formal mage, he can accurately scan the area within a radius of thousands of square meters centered on himself, so he feels at ease letting them absorb it now.

At first, nothing happened, but after a few minutes, Lin Ye's mental energy suddenly detected a ghostly aura coming toward him.

Lin Ye immediately focused his mental energy in that direction, then opened his eyes, revealing a look of surprise.

"Hmm~, this aura seems familiar, and it's very weak. I'm new here and don't know many Ghost Pokémon. Could it be...?"

Lin Ye thought of a ghost, and sure enough, a phantom figure soon floated in from the alley entrance; it was a Gastly.

A purple spirit, separated hands, and a signature ghostly smile, though that smile looked even uglier than crying.

At this moment, its form was much more ethereal than when they parted last time, and its aura was so weak it seemed about to fall apart.

Gastly floated into the alley and immediately saw Lin Ye sitting cross-legged. It was stunned for a moment, then its eyes lit up.

"Wow, it's a big shot!"

"Isn't this Brother Stone? What's up? Out for a stroll alone today? Where are your two brothers?"

Lin Ye's question caused Gastly's expression to instantly fall apart, as if it had been chased and bitten by a ferocious wolfhound for three days!

"Boss Lin Ye, help me!"

"Help? You're a ghost, who can kill you again?"

Gastly panicked: "It wasn't me, it was my brother! Spectrum and Nightwatch, they...they've been captured!"

"Arrested? Who arrested you?! Did the trainers in Lilycove City find out about you?!"

"Oh dear, boss, you don't know this! Recently, a ruthless ghost has come to our ghost circle in Water Jing City!"

It was incredibly ferocious, and within a few days it subdued several evil spirits and demons involved in the underworld, turning them into its underlings and even forming a gang.

Just last night, it approached the three of us brothers, insisting that I join its so-called evil spirits club.

The three of us brothers were unwilling to be controlled by others, so we refused. But the evil spirit was unreasonable and immediately attacked us.

The Night Patrol Spirit and the Shadow Doll were subdued by its minions in just a few rounds. I couldn't beat it either, and I barely managed to escape with serious injuries.

Although I managed to escape by sheer luck, I'm severely exhausted. I sensed ghost energy around here and drifted over without realizing it. I never expected to run into you, sir! Waaah!

"Alright, alright~, eat some of these energy cubes first to restore your stamina~"

"But what did that demon that suddenly appeared in Lilycove City look like? Was it wearing a Pikachu-like costume?"

Lin Ye immediately thought of the Mimikyu; if it really was it, it would be a good opportunity to capture it.

Gastly looked completely bewildered. "Wearing a Pikachu suit! What's that? I've never seen it before!"

"Oh, really? What kind of Pokémon is that Ghost Pokémon?!"

Gastly looked embarrassed and said awkwardly, "To be honest, that evil spirit is actually my own Gastly."

"It's Gastly! You, a Gastly with no arms or legs, can't even beat a Gastly in its initial form!"

"Well, normally Gastly can't beat Haunter, but there are always exceptions. That Gastly was just too powerful."

"Pfft~~"

A soft laugh came from the side; it was the Snow Fairy who had already finished absorbing the energy. She showed a disdainful expression and mocked:

"Saying that Gastly is too strong is just an excuse. In my opinion, it's just that you, Gastly, are too incompetent."
