At the beginning of the game, Xanadu accidentally became the champion

"Cough... that... let's go quickly, maybe we can find a better camping place in the forest..." Hearing the faint temptation hidden in Kerni's words, Xu Ran's heart trembled suddenly, and he was stunned. Staring blankly at the girl's bright smiling face, he swallowed involuntarily. After a while, he hurriedly shook his head, coughed lightly, and walked forward quickly.

Looking at Xu Ran's fleeing back, Kerni's small mouth raised a happy arc:

"Xu Ran, just pretend, I'll see how long you can endure..."

Chapter 170 Entertaining

Above the sky, the sun went down, and then disappeared at the end of the distant horizon. The sky gradually darkened, and thick dark clouds floated in the sky, like a giant black beast was devouring the entire sky, oppressing the forest in darkness , even the air became heavy.

There is a breeze, and the thick leaves sway and rustle in the wind, revealing the calm before the storm and a sense of uneasiness.

"It looks like it's going to rain in this weather..." Walking in the forest with Korni and their partners, Xu Ran looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and muttered in a low voice.

Once it rains, they have to choose carefully where they set up their tents, otherwise they will be easily washed away by the heavy rain. If possible, he still hopes to spend the night in the house on the night of heavy rain, but it seems that there is no place near the forest. Unlikely to have a Pokémon Center...

"It's going to rain." Reaching out her hand to feel the moist breeze, Kerni responded, and then she looked around, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned: "Xu Ran, do you feel that we Have you been here just now?"

Although the trees in the forest are all similar in appearance, there are still some subtle differences, but right now this place is exactly the same as the place they walked through before.

"Luka!" Beside her, Lucario also called out in agreement.

"Is there?" Xu Ran was taken aback. It stands to reason that they were going along the road, so they shouldn't get lost.

However, he knew that Kerni's memory was amazing, not to mention that if he himself had no obvious reference in the forest, he would basically be a blind man, and it was possible that he would lead a fork in the road, so he had no doubts about what Kerni said.

"Let's go further. It's going to rain. Anyway, we have to find a place to hide from the rain or pitch a tent safely."

Xu Ran looked around, and then used his mental strength to sense it again, but found nothing unusual or different, and then said a little helplessly.

"En." Ke Erni nodded, and then the two continued to walk forward with their partners.

As time passed, the sky became darker and darker, and black clouds rolled in the sky, but the forest became abnormally quiet, revealing a strange aura invisibly.

Suddenly, a dazzling thunder flashed from the sky, illuminating this space quite brightly, and at this moment, a dilapidated house that looked like an old castle suddenly appeared in the sight of Xu Ran and the two of them. Immediately afterwards, a loud noise suddenly pierced through the silent forest, as if venting anger and dissatisfaction.

At the moment when the thunder fell, the inside of the dilapidated house suddenly lit up with lights, and Xu Ran and the two of them noticed that they had walked in front of this house at some point.

"If you get lost in the forest, there must be a haunted house, and there must be rain in front of the haunted house... What's the matter with this unusually familiar sense of sight..." Xu Ran's eyelids twitched slightly as he focused his eyes on this house.

Just as Xu Ran's murmur fell, the heavy rain sprayed down from the sky like a fountain.

The raindrops hit the ground relentlessly, splashing countless tiny mud flowers, and the vegetation was soaked in water, sticking to the ground wetly, exuding bursts of earthy smell.

"Xu, Xu Ran..." The rain fell on her body, and the cold touch made Kerni shiver, and then she moved and came to Xu Ran's side, her little hand involuntarily grabbed his arm, looking at the house There was a hint of timidity in his eyes, and even his voice trembled: "This, there is something wrong here..."

Tilting his head to look at Kerni with a look of fear on his face, Xu Ran was a little surprised, but also expected, Kerni is very courageous, he has seen it before, but... Fighting girls are afraid of ghosts, it seems that they are also afraid of ghosts. Very reasonable.

Patting Korni's little hand holding her arm, Xu Ran was about to speak, but the door of the dilapidated house suddenly opened, and then an old man with aristocratic air walked out of it, standing in front of the door, watching gently. With two people:

"Good evening, standing in such heavy rain, what's wrong with you two?"

This scene also made Xu Ran slightly stunned, and then he looked up at the old man in front of him, and subconsciously sensed it with his spiritual power. When he sensed the existence of his breath, he was also slightly relieved.

No matter what, as long as there is breath, it can rule out hallucinations or hallucinations.

As for the existence of haunted houses and the like, he doesn't care. After all, there are even ghost-type Pokémon in this world, so it is difficult for him to feel scared by ghosts and the like.

Beside her, Kerni carefully looked at the old man with a trace of curiosity in her eyes, and saw that he seemed to be normal, just an ordinary human being, and the timid look on his face faded a little, but the little hand holding Xu Ran's arm But still did not let go.

"Don't stand still, you'll catch a cold from the heavy rain, come and hide in the house." Seeing that the two just looked at him and didn't mean to speak, the old man turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation with his arms, and at the same time Said kindly.

"This is really a great help, thank you very much." Xu Ran said happily, in this rainy evening, if there is a place to hide from the rain, he would naturally not refuse.

"Xu, Xu Ran...Are we really going in..." Ke Erni leaned towards Xu Ran, her expression hesitated.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Xu Ran patted Korni's little head and said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Xu Ran's laughter seemed to have some magical power, which dispelled the fear in Kerni's heart, and then she took Xu Ran's arm and followed him into the room.

"Wipe off the rain." In the room, the old man took out two towels from a side cabinet and handed them to Xu Ran.

"Thank you!" After taking the towel, Xu Ran politely thanked her, and immediately rubbed the raindrops on Yue'er's hair and body, and after drying, she wiped herself again.

Corni on the side also let go of Xu Ran's arm, wiped her wet hair with a towel, and then handed it to Lucario beside her.

"My name is Kelu, may I ask the names of the two of you?" The old man said with a smile, looking at the two with his hands behind his back.

"My name is Kerni, and this is my partner, Lucario." Kerni introduced herself softly.

"Luka!" Lucario also raised his hand in greeting.

"I'm Xu Ran, and this is my partner Shanaido." Xu Ran smiled and rolled his eyes at the same time. The familiar scene in front of him reminded him of this episode in the anime, but due to time He didn't have much impression of the relationship that was too long.

"Sha Nai!" Beside her, Yue'er waved her little hand lightly, saying hello.

Chapter 171 House of Horror

"Today is really bad." Kelu nodded, and then smiled gently: "If you don't mind, would you like to have some steaming food?"

"Thank you for your hospitality, but we have eaten before, so we don't bother you." Waving his hand, Xu Ran politely declined.

"Haha, in that case, let's drink some warm tea to warm up. I'll go get ready right now. You two can just wait in the living room for a while." Kelu said, without waiting for Xu Ran or the other two to respond. , walked out of the living room directly.

"He's so enthusiastic..." Kerni whispered, watching the direction of Kelu's departure.

"It's indeed a little too enthusiastic." Xu Ran nodded, then pondered for a moment, and took out the electronic map.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Xu Ran's movements, Kerni asked curiously.

"It's okay, I just want to see if there is this place on the electronic map." As he spoke, Xu Ran clicked on the road he was currently on on the electronic map, searching for the location on it.

At times like this, Xu Ran misses the mobile phone map of his previous life a little bit. The electronic map here does not have the positioning function of the mobile phone map of his previous life, otherwise he would not have to bother to find it.

After fiddling up and down for a while, Xu Ran finally determined the current location.

"There is no clear map name here, but the trainers call it 'House of Terror'." Looking at the description on the electronic map, Xu Ran touched his chin and said:

"According to the description here, as long as you pass through this forest in the evening, you will come to an old house as if you were attracted, and something terrible will happen after you enter..."

"A very, very scary thing?!" Hearing this, Kerni's face turned pale, and she instinctively leaned towards Xu Ran.

"It's okay, Kerni, it's just rumors." Seeing her flustered look, Xu Ran comforted her softly.

"Haha, they are indeed just rumors. This is just an ordinary house." As soon as Xu Ran finished speaking, an old laughter suddenly sounded at the door, and then Kelu walked to the table with warm tea. , and then motioned for the two of them to sit down.

"Ordinary house..." murmured, Ke Erni looked at Kelu with a gentle smile on his face, and then at Xu Ran who looked calm, and the panic in her heart was put down again, and then she slowly He breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "But why is this house called the House of Horror?"

"There is a reason for this." Kelu looked down at the tea in front of his desk, sighed longly, and then recalled: "Actually... to tell you the truth, this house was where I was lost at the time. Found it at that time.”

With that said, Kelu took a sip of tea, and then continued:

"It was a cold rainy night, just like now, I came to this house to hide from the rain, but there was no one in the house at that time, I tremblingly explored in this house with no lights, But still did not feel the human breath.

I explored all the way like this, and finally came to the kitchen, and then I slowly lit up the whole kitchen with the light of a lighter, explored around, and found a man squatting in the corner.

The man with the cloak turned his back to me. I approached the man in order to tell him that I was lost and hoped to stay here for one night.

However, at this moment, this man suddenly yelled at me: 'Don't come here', which shocked me, and then he said: 'I'm not talking about you', which made my heart flustered, I hurriedly asked him: 'Didn't you mean me?Is there anyone else here? '.

And this time he asked me again: 'Can't you see? ', I panicked when I heard his words, but he suddenly turned around and yelled at me, his face still very frightened: 'There are a group of faceless men behind you! '..."

"Boom!"

"what!"

When Kelu said this, there was a loud noise, which coincidentally came from outside the window, which made Kerni scream and plunge into Xu Ran's arms.

With the soft fragrance in his arms, Xu Ran stiffened slightly, and then he gently patted Korni's shoulder, with a slight grin on his lips. He finally understood why many boys would bring their girlfriends with them in previous lives. It's a haunted house...

After a while, Kerni's terrified emotions gradually dissipated, and then she got up from Xu Ran's arms, but, as if seeking support, her little hand was still holding onto Xu Ran's arm.

"How is it?" Seeing Ke Erni's frightened expression, Kelu smiled with satisfaction, and then asked with a smile.

"It's terrible..." Taking a deep breath, Kerni said timidly.

"Then what happened afterwards?" Xu Ran asked curiously as she subconsciously patted Kerni's delicate little hand.

"Hehe, isn't Xu Ran afraid?" Kelu didn't answer, but asked with a smile instead.

"Don't be afraid." Xu Ran smiled lightly and shook his head. Where did he come from? When he was in college, after the lights were turned off in the dormitory, he and his roommates played ghost stories there in the middle of the night for excitement. , or just play a horror movie directly, it is really "chosen", and the level of horror far exceeds the story told by Kelu.

"That's it, I wanted to tell a scary story to make you happy, I'm really rude." Kelu smiled apologetically, and said immediately: "It's actually like this, I keep telling the visiting guests about these horrors. Over time, I don’t know when, this place has been called the House of Terror.”

"Help the guests with horror stories at night..." Hearing this, Xu Ran was dumbfounded, and then chuckled. He didn't expect Kelu to have such childish thoughts at such an old age.

"Huh, so it's like this..." On the side, Kerni breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated.

"Zizi, Kaka!" However, at this moment, accompanied by a sound like a short circuit of an electric wire, the chandelier on the ceiling suddenly shook without warning, and the lights flickered on and off. The hall adds a weird color.

"Ah..." Seeing this scene, Kerni's heart that had just been let go lifted up again.

"Huh?" Seeing the chandelier swinging above his head, Xu Ran immediately used his mental strength to search the entire room, but to his surprise, there was no one else or treasure except Kelu in front of him. The breath of dreams.

"I didn't do this." Kelu also looked at this scene, and then he hurriedly waved his hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, the painting on the wall behind him suddenly shook.

Chapter 172 Mischief

"Spirit, supernatural phenomenon?!" Looking at the mural that fell on the ground, Kerni's little face turned even paler.

"Impossible, there won't be anything supernatural, don't scare yourself, Kerni." Xu Ran shook his head and comforted him, his voice was very sure.

Although he has basically no memory of this part of the plot in the anime, he still vaguely remembers that the cause of the horrific incident was a prank played by the old man and his Pokémon.

And looking at the old man's behavior just now, although he waved his hands in denial, there was no surprise on his face. Obviously he was not surprised by this, so it is obvious that the old man knows about the current situation.

Besides, in the world of Pokémon, it's hard to say what kind of supernatural phenomena, even if there are, most of them are inseparable from ghost-type or super-type Pokémon.

Therefore, Xu Ran can basically be sure that the situation here should be similar to that in the anime, and it was the old man who joined hands with his Pokémon.

The only thing that puzzled him was that for some reason, he couldn't detect the breath of other Pokémon in this room.

"Hmm..." Beside her, Kerni's face softened when she heard the confidence in Xu Ran's voice. No matter what, she was always at ease with Xu Ran by her side.

"Ke..." Looking sideways at Korni's adorable appearance, Xu Ran's dark eyes showed a touch of tenderness, and then he looked up at Kelu who was sitting opposite him, opened his mouth, and just now As he was about to say something, the backpack next to him suddenly flew up out of thin air, and at an extremely fast speed, before he could react, it had already disappeared into the hall.

"Hey! Give it back to me!" Xu Ran panicked and chased after him.

Yue'er also followed quickly, and Ke Erni didn't dare to leave Xu Ran too far, and followed him closely with strides, while Lucario followed beside her.

In the corridor, under the dim yellow-white light, the backpack was constantly shaking in the air.
