I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

But for some reason, Mr. Taichi, who was talking about ghosts in the Lost Tower before, became silent after hearing Bai Chen's supplement. He lowered his head and looked like he was thinking about something, which annoyed Bai Chen. A burst of curiosity.

"What's the matter? It seems that there is something hidden in your appearance? But think about it, right? No matter what you say, Mr. Taichi, you are a person who has no knowledge of Dr. Pokémon. How could you believe in the so-called ghost so easily? What about the legend?"

Mr. Taichi's hesitant appearance made Bai Chen quickly guess what he was thinking right now.

If he wanted to say something, he showed hesitation now, which would actually let Bai Chen breathe a sigh of relief. If he still firmly believed in the so-called ghost theory after he calmed down, it would be Bai Chen's turn to be nervous now.

After all, he has no problem curing ghost-type Pokmon, but if he is really asked to cure some ghosts, let’s forget it. Let’s not mention that he has never seen any so-called ghosts in his life, even if he did see him. I can only do nothing.

Otherwise, can he still fight ghosts?

Facing Bai Chen's words, Mr. Taichi didn't make any reaction, just continued to sigh, and then slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Actually... I don't know if there are ghosts in that Lost Tower..."

Mr. Taichi's tone was slightly puzzled and vacillating. You must know that a person as loyal to research as he is rarely puts on such a gesture. On weekdays, when encountering problems related to Pokémon, Mr. Taichi will either make a decision In other words, either just don't say anything at all, and wait until the thorough investigation is clear before giving your own answer.

But today he looked abnormal.

"......"

Bai Chen and Ma Li looked at each other, and it seemed that Mr. Taichi's attitude made them feel that things were not that simple.

"You said... don't know if there are ghosts?" After thinking about it, Bai Chen finally decided to keep asking. "If you encounter any strange phenomena in a cemetery like the Lost Tower, or encounter some horrible things, it is usually done by ghost-type Pokmon, right? You should be clear about this."

Bai Chen didn't speak too harshly, after all, Mr. Taichi's current state is indeed very wrong.

Even if it is a rare thing for ordinary residents, it is common for trainers and researchers to see that supernatural events are often caused by ghost-type Pokmon, so Mr. Taichi must have a reason for saying this .

"Of course I know what you said! I just heard that there are ghosts in the Lost Tower, so I wanted to take a look, because I was sure it must be written by a ghost-type Pokémon, so I wanted to help the people in the town. People solve this problem."

What Mr. Taichi said was very sincere, and there didn't seem to be any false rhetoric.

"But... well, it's because I can't tell whether the ghost face chasing me is a ghost-type Pokémon or a real ghost..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Taichi's tone was obviously a little lost.

"The illusion created by the ghost-type Pokémon usually has flaws, but..."

"The one you met in the Lost Tower...can't you find it?"

Speaking of this, Bai Chen probably understood why Mr. Taichi couldn't tell whether the ghost he encountered was created by Pokémon or not.

The ghosts and ghosts created by ghost-type Pokmon are nothing more than fake things in the final analysis. Even the champion-level Pokmon cannot guarantee that they have not revealed any flaws in the battle, let alone these wild Pokmon Woolen cloth?

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened, either the environment at that time was so dark that Mr. Taichi couldn't notice the flaw in the illusion technique at all; or the Pokmon in the Lost Tower was a special individual.

If he had to choose one, Bai Chen would prefer the latter possibility. The Lost Tower in Random Town is no better than the Pokémon Tower in Ziyuan Town in the Kanto region, nor the Tower of Paradise in the Hezhong region.

The Lost Tower is located in a remote location and has less publicity, so not many people will come here to pay homage to Pokémon. It is not surprising that there are one or two special ghost-type Pokémon in such a big environment.

Just as Bai Chen had a rough conclusion in his mind, Mr. Tai Chi who was sitting opposite continued to add:

"By the way, there is one more thing to pay attention to... Although I don't know if it was created by the ghost-type Pokémon, but the ghost I met... really makes people feel frightened from the soul, and confront it The longer it takes, the more difficult it is to even breathe. If I hadn’t jumped out from the window on the second floor before I fainted, I’m afraid even I would have confessed to it... ..”

As a researcher of Pokémon, Mr. Taichi, who has experienced countless dangers, big and small, would feel so scared this time. If this is really the case, maybe Bai Chen needs some special preparations for this matter.

"I see." Bai Chen got up after drawing up the plan for the next day in his mind, "I will be careful, please rest assured and leave it to me."

This time it is not a commission from anyone, it is purely out of the responsibility of a Pokémon trainer, such Pokémon that are already in danger need to be controlled anyway, whether it is to subdue them or send them to the Sinnoh Alliance It doesn't matter inside.

178 The Lonely Figure in the Lost Tower

"Huh...it's really cold today..."

Random town, early in the morning.

Standing outside the door, Bai Chen felt the oncoming cold wind and couldn't help but shrunk his hands into the pockets of his coat, and shrank his neck accordingly, trying to resist some of the cold winter wind.

At the same time, the door behind Bai Chen was pushed open again, and Mary also came out wearing a thick winter coat.

After seeing Bai Chen's appearance of being afraid of the cold, Ma Li couldn't help asking: "Mr. Bai Chen, are you afraid of the cold? Are you wearing thicker clothes than usual today?"

"Huh... I can't help it, who made the weather so cold today? Although I left my hometown very early, I still adapt to the climate of Raven City better in my bones..."

Bai Chen exhaled a burst of white mist, and raised his head to look at the gray sky.

"Also, no matter what the weather is like today, you should wear thicker clothes. Going alone in the wild to the place where the ghost-type Pokémon inhabits is the most basic thing to keep warm."

What Bai Chen said can be regarded as a consensus among experienced trainers. The temperature in places where ghost-type Pokémon haunt will be very low, and they will make pranks that make people feel creepy if they don't time. If you can't keep warm If so, accidents may easily occur.

However, the Lost Tower......

Bai Chen couldn't help but look towards the southeast of Random Town.

Although he has been in Random Town for more than a year, he has never been to the Lost Tower. Although there is also the factor that there is no Pokémon in the Lost Tower that he needs to pay homage to, but it is more that Bai Chen does not want to see it. Go to such a place, so as not to think of the guy who happened to be buried in the tower of heaven.

Just in time, it's time to go somewhere......

It coincided with the travel plan I was drawing up recently, Bai Chen couldn't help thinking so.

......

On the top floor of the Lost Tower, a short figure was sitting on the spot, no emotion could be seen in the crystal-like pupils, and the corners of the mouth were drooping downwards, looking like a stranger should not enter.

But in the final analysis, there are no strangers in the Lost Tower right now, let alone strangers, not even a ghost-type Pokémon of the same kind can be seen here.

And these are all from its handwriting.

The Pokémon hiding in the Lost Tower is called Soul Eye. Most of the individuals live in the mines, because there is a wealth of food they need, but this Soul Eye occupies the Lost Eye for some reason. Towers come to life.

"Crack..."

Hooking Eye casually threw a somewhat broken ore into his mouth, and the jagged sharp teeth rubbed against the ore, making an uncomfortable sound in this dark and closed space. Crushing sound.

To be honest, this ore is of poor quality for the soul-hunting eye, and it is not as good as the ore produced in a normal mine in terms of taste and taste.

But for it, it was the low-quality ore that kept it alive. Although it tasted bad, it was better than starving to death or eating stones on the side of the road.

"Ya..."

Hooking Eye, who was eating this so-called breakfast alone, let out a hoarse moan from his throat, every movement of it seemed so pale, helpless, and lonely.

However, all of this is its choice, or its obsession is at work, so it has no complaints, just hopes...

......

In the forest in the southeast corner of Random Town, Bai Chen and Ma Li are slowly walking side by side. Although the location of the Lost Tower can be regarded as the suburban area of ​​Random Town, the forest in the southeast corner is visited by no one all the year round. It will be taken care of by the alliance, and over time it will be covered with waist-high weeds and dead branches all over the ground, and there is not even a decent road.

"It's too difficult to go... It's really lucky that Mr. Taichi was able to rush all the way back in such a situation at that time... I must have been really scared to the limit."

Bai Chen raised his foot again and stepped over a pothole, and couldn't help admiring Mr. Taichi's great achievements.

After all, it is not easy to run on this kind of road.

"Mr. Taichi, what did you see that day..."

Compared with Bai Chen who was still thinking about joking, Ma Li seemed much more worried, her eyebrows naturally drooped, and her expression was no longer as calm as before, but instead filled with bursts of worry.

Seeing Ma Li's appearance, Bai Chen asked with a slightly teasing tone:

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"Well......"

Ma Li didn't affirm or deny, but made a dissatisfied voice, as if she didn't want to be underestimated by Bai Chen.

"I didn't deny it. It's perfectly normal to feel scared. Let alone you, even I was scared by ghost-type Pokémon many times when I was traveling."

Bai Chen's tone really sounded a bit reminiscent, and he didn't say it purely to appease Ma Li, but since he talked about the past, Ma Li's dissatisfaction naturally disappeared quickly, and turned to It was with a curious tone that he asked:

"Is Teacher Bai Chen also afraid of this? But...you can't tell at all."

Is that what I said?This kid is too easy to take the bait.

Although he thought so in his heart, of course Bai Chen wouldn't say it out loud, otherwise wouldn't the topic that had been changed after so much difficulty be completely meaningless?

"Who wouldn't be afraid of something like that popping up in a dark environment? But I was afraid in the past, and of course I'm no longer afraid now."

Bai Chen smiled a little playfully.

"After all, even if I didn't mention the small pranks when I was traveling back then, I have experienced more than a dozen large-scale pranks like today's that have affected many people, but the ending is the same every time. It’s just a trick of the ghost-type Pokmon, but there is a little difference in the content and form, so of course I won’t be afraid now.”

"Travel experience..."

After Bai Chen finished saying this, Ma Li seemed to have fallen into another kind of contemplation, but there was one thing Bai Chen didn't tell Ma Li, and that was——

From then on, Bai Chen will no longer feel afraid. Apart from speaking from experience, it is also because he subdued and cultivated a very reliable companion. Every time he wants to come to such a place, Bai Chen will let his companion hide in the shadow first. Among them, help to catch those pranksters at the critical moment.

Ma Li, who was walking beside him, was still thinking, while Bai Chen secretly cast his eyes on the shadow cast by the star light behind Ma Li, and saw Ma Li's shadow seemed to be responding to him. swaying slightly.

......

179 Inferences for Ghost-Type Pokémon

Although it has been a long time to take care of it, it is not easy to move forward all the way, but after walking in the forest for nearly an hour, Ma Li and Bai Chen came to the center of the forest in the southeast of Random Town——

Lost Tower.

Just like the general buildings where Pokémon are buried, the Lost Tower is also surrounded by a special kind of dead air, and there is a heavy and depressive atmosphere in the air all the time.

Before entering the Lost Tower, Bai Chen and Ma Li felt the abnormal low temperature first.

It's not like the cold feeling brought by the environment of the iceberg ruins, but a chill from the other side that seems to make people's soul tremble.

"Well......"

As if she was not used to such an environment, Mary's body trembled a little along with her tone of voice.

Although the environment of Spike Town looks dim to outsiders, it seems to be very suitable for the survival of ghost-type Pokémon, but in fact Spike Town can only be said to be relatively dilapidated and underdeveloped, and the interior of the city is still full of ghost-type Pokémon. The lively atmosphere that Pokmon cannot love, so the scenes of Marie dealing with ghost Pokmon can be said to be rare.

"Remember this feeling. In the wild, ghost-type Pokmon usually hide their breath, but once your body instinctively produces this feeling, it basically means that ghost-type Pokmon is hiding by your side."

They have already reached the bottom of the Lost Tower, but Bai Chen still has not forgotten his duty as a teacher, explaining this to Ma Li.

Compared with Ma Li, Bai Chen did show that he has many years of travel experience in such an environment. Although his body trembled subconsciously when he first stepped into this area, Bai Chen At this time, the heart is very peaceful.

And speaking of it, although the main purpose of coming to the Lost Tower this time was to suppress the ghost rumors, at the same time, of course, Bai Chen had to train Mary well.

After all, there are not many opportunities to meet ghost-type Pokémon, let alone this Pokémon hiding in the Lost Tower is probably a special individual.

Anyway, if it is there, nothing will happen to Ma Li, and there will be no problems on his own side. Unless he is tricked, Bai Chen thinks that there is still a chance for a wild Pokémon to threaten him." Definitely" difficult.

"Then let's go."

Having stayed outside the door for a while, Bai Chen saw that Ma Li's unnatural appearance in China had gradually stabilized, so he said this.

The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the high open gate of the Lost Tower, and at the same time, on a tombstone on the highest floor of the Lost Tower, the Ecstasy Eyes slowly opened its crystal-like eyes without any emotion.

......

Stepping into the Lost Tower, what Bai Chen and Ma Li felt for the first time was nothing but a colder chill blowing towards their faces.

Just looking at the temperature, the inside of the Lost Tower is probably 5 or 6 degrees lower than the forest outside, right?In such an environment, even Mary, who was somewhat resistant to the cold, couldn't help shivering and pulled her coat inward.

At this time, Ma Li finally realized how important Bai Chen's experience was. If she followed her usual winter attire, let alone came inside to explore ghosts, she might be too cold to leave after walking to the gate. Let's move on.

"It's really not easy."

Compared with Mary, Bai Chen seems to have discovered something else after stepping into the Lost Tower.

"Although there are also colds caused by insufficient light, but under the influence of that ghost-type Pokémon, the internal temperature here has already dropped to such a low level. I am afraid its strength is not simple, or it may be hidden in its heart. A lot of resentment."

"Resentment?" Mary asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"Well, although you have less contact with ghost-type Pokémon, you should have heard that ghost-type Pokémon, in addition to normal food, also so-called their own food with the emotions of humans and other Pokmon, right?"

"This point of view is very credible on the side of Dr. Pokémon, but few people in ordinary trainers think so."

Mary thought for a while, and it seemed that there was indeed such a statement. Although this statement was put forward by Pokémon doctors from all over the world, few trainers recognized it.

If you think about it carefully, you can probably understand why this statement is not popular. After all, Pokémon trainers will not do such meticulous research like Dr. Pokémon. Most of their time is just with their own. Pokémon travel and train together.

It is precisely because they have a lot of contact with their Pokmon that they trust their Pokmon.

Eat human emotions, although such a statement is not derogatory, but those trainers who have ghost-type Pokmon feel that such a statement is extremely absurd. After all, they are normally given to them in daily life. Babies eat Pokémon food. Under such a premise, Dr. Pokémon's statement will naturally seem absurd to them, and even many trainers will think that such a statement is slandering ghost Pokmon.

"Right, even if most people don't think so, the point of view of the Pokémon doctors is correct. The ghost-type Pokémon is different from ordinary Pokémon. They don't need to compete for resources in the forest. Although many ghost-type Pokémon Babies will also use berries, ores, etc. as their staple food, but they can indeed live on the emotions of the surrounding Pokmon."

Bai Chen took a deep breath and continued:

"Moreover, a large part of the power of the ghost system also comes from its own emotions. A gloomy place like the Lost Tower shows that the ghost-type Pokémon living here have great mood swings and will live here alone. Great mood swings, attacking people here at will can only be anger or resentment."

"Is that so..."
