Chapter 157 The Mystery of the Shadow
Chapter 157 The Mystery of the Shadow
"Gengar, Mimikyu, don't you feel anything?"
Feeling increasingly uneasy, Guihai questioned the two little ones beside him who had already finished eating.
By this time, they also knew what had happened around Guihai.
Gengar's expression was solemn, his large, fat face full of seriousness.
Mimikyu is wearing a mascot costume, so you can't see its expression, but the two small dots on the Pikachu costume have turned into inverted triangles.
Gengar unleashed its psychic power, scanning the courtyard several times, but found nothing, just as Ghost Sea's lunch had mysteriously vanished.
Mimikyu, using its little nose hidden under its costume, sniffed back and forth at the spot where the Ghost Sea Lunch had last disappeared.
Finally, Gengar and Mimikyu both turned their gazes toward Ghostsea himself.
“Kou Jie”.
Gengar looked at Ghost Sea and scratched his head in confusion.
Gui Hai frowned: "You're saying lunch disappeared from me? Impossible."
"Riddle".
"The smell disappears once it gets on me?"
Guihai was completely baffled. Could it be that he had some Pokémon that Guihai didn't know about?
That shouldn't be the case, even though he is a human.
However, due to his unique physique and the feedback from Gengar and other Pokémon, he can now fight an elite-level Pokémon single-handedly without losing.
If there were other Pokémon around him, how could he not have noticed?
Moreover, Gengar and the others roost in their own shadows every day; among them are Elite Four members and Champions.
If you can't find them yourself, can't you at least find them?
"!!!"
Gui Hai suddenly thought of something and looked at the shadow at his feet.
Through the black shadows, Oni-kai had a complete view of his shadow space.
It was filled with items related to Ghost Sea and Pokémon.
One part of the space is filled with Rotom's gadgets, another part with Gengar's collection, and yet another part with Mimikyu's snacks.
There is also a large space where resources needed for Gengar's training are stored.
He had sensed this space ever since he mastered Ghost-type energy; it was also the habitat where Gengar and the others had lived for several years.
However, this does not mean that Guihai has completely taken control of this shadow world.
First of all, no matter what, Guihai had no way of entering this space that belonged to him.
Secondly, even if Gengar and the others move around inside, they will be restricted by the black mist at the boundary of the space.
However, this boundary continues to expand as Ghost Sea grows stronger.
The area that was originally the size of a football field can now be expanded to include an outer running track.
This means there's more space inside than just this.
However, Gengar and the others have no way to penetrate the boundaries to explore.
If other creatures exist in this space and can penetrate those black, fog-like boundaries, then it's quite possible for them to steal Ghost Sea's lunch silently.
Gengar and the others had obviously thought of this as well.
He charged ahead into the shadows of the ghost sea.
Under the watchful eye of the Ghost Sea, Gengar thoroughly explored the Shadow Dimension.
The anomaly was quickly discovered.
First, the Ghost Stone Slab appears to have been tampered with. It was originally placed on Gengar's bed as a pillow, but now it has been flipped over.
Some of Mimikyu's snacks are missing, and food scraps that still look fresh were found in some corners despite Rotom's daily cleaning.
Following the scent of food, Mimikyu and Gengar eventually arrived at a corner of the space.
However, they found no entrances or exits at the spatial boundaries, nor any weak points.
This made the two little ones who came to explore look even more serious.
Gui Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing for the first time that the shadow beside him actually harbored such a threat.
Although only lunch was lost this time, what about next time?
Ghost Sea has placed almost all of its precious possessions in the shadows, and Gengar and the others also love living in the shadow world.
What should he do if this uninvited guest wants to harm him or his Pokémon?
"This threat must be eliminated as soon as possible."
Gui Hai instinctively wanted to take everything out of the shadow world and then try to seal off the shadow beneath his feet.
But soon Ghost Sea had a new idea. He called back Gengar and Mimikyu and told them to pretend nothing had happened and continue doing what they were doing.
Just don't stray too far from him.
Keep at least two meters away, but be able to enter the shadow's range at any time.
"Since it was just stealing food, it's most likely a Pokémon."
"Given the fact that it can enter my shadow world and is not afraid of the shadows around me, it should be a Pokémon with the Ghost type."
"Pokémon are much easier to deal with than humans."
As Guihai spoke, he pulled out a sealing sphere identical to the one used to seal the Dark Flame Bird: "I'll be waiting for you."
For the next period of time, Guihai spent his time in the research lab familiarizing himself with the various equipment and preparing for the research to be conducted the next day.
Not long after, Puqin, the Champion of Grass-type Pokémon in the League, arrived at the research institute.
Guihai wasn't surprised by the arrival of this League King he had met several times before.
While studying Long Cang, he also took the opportunity to study the Heavenly Kings of the Alliance.
As the Grass-type Elite Four member, King Puqin was naturally on his research list as well.
However, this one is quite different from the other League Kings.
Before becoming a Champion, this player was actually a Pokémon researcher.
The other Elite Four members focus more on Pokémon training and improving their Pokémon's strength, and often appear in invitational tournaments and exhibition matches.
This player only has a record of facing challengers at the league conference a little over a year ago.
Furthermore, it's as if he doesn't exist; he's immersed in various Pokémon researches every day.
Along with another Electric-type Elite Four member, he was called a research maniac by the League trainers.
It is said that this superstar's Pokémon were all trained with the help of her husband, Tan Si.
She herself hasn't caught or trained any new Pokémon in a long time.
Now that Ghostsea has submitted two new evolutionary paths for Scyther, it's only natural that this guy would come looking for him.
Sure enough, the first thing Pu Qin said to Gui Hai was:
"Prosecutor Guihai, I saw the data report you submitted and came to verify it. I also wanted to ask you a question."
Could you, while researching Mega Evolution, also conduct research on the two evolutionary forms of Scyther?
“If you don’t have time, I can ask some researchers to come and help you relieve some of the pressure.”
Guihai has decided to begin research on Mega Evolution tomorrow.
As for the Scyther, it's nothing more than battle testing and repeated experiments, which Guihai has no interest in.
So he said directly, "Then I'll trouble King Puqin to send some people to help. You can ask me anytime if you have any questions about the Mantis and the Giant Mantis."
"Okay, once you've finished researching Mega, remember to come find me, and I'll help you claim the corresponding rewards."
After giving a few words of explanation, Pu Qin left in the same hurry as when she arrived.
However, around dusk, several researchers specializing in the study of the scythe mantis and the giant scythe appeared in the research institute run by Ghost Sea.
