LRAB Chapter 670: Ghost King
Chapter 670: Ghost King
The huge shadow slowly approached, and its original form gradually emerged.
This is a huge Gengar, nearly ten times the size of a normal Gengar. It emits a strange purple light all over its body, its scarlet eyes are fierce and sinister, and it constantly emits a low, strange laugh from its mouth, which makes people feel chilling.
Yang Ming's heart sank. It seemed that this guy was the ruler of this area.
"This Gengar can actually speak human language?!"
Even an experienced trainer like Xiao Juer was frightened by the talking "Ghost King", not to mention Acerola. The little loli immediately hid behind Yang Ming and didn't dare to look at it.
"You led me here, didn't you? Tell me, what is your purpose?"
Yang Ming was also very nervous, but in order to encourage the frightened Xiao Juer and Aserola, he pretended to be calm, talking to the giant Gengar in front of him while looking for an opportunity to escape.
"This story begins hundreds of years ago, human," Gengar said, his mouth wide open, making an extremely unpleasant sound. "When I was born, not only was this area devoid of human activity, even ghost Pokémon like me—let's just call them what you humans call them—were rare. This area was a forest back then, home to numerous bug Pokémon. As a newly born Gastly, without the protection of my pack, I could only struggle to survive in the forest."
"Until one day, a terrible disaster struck. A huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a great being radiating golden light descended from the sky, leading a group of extremely powerful Pokémon to slaughter the land."
"These Pokémon have very strange appearances, they don't seem to belong to this world, but their power is terrifying. We, the natives, are no match for them. All the Pokémon in this forest were slaughtered in just half a day. I only escaped thanks to the ghost Pokémon's ability to escape."
After listening to Gengar's description, Yang Ming already knew the origins of these brutal Pokémon.
Ultimate beasts! Only these beings from another time and space possess such overwhelming power and such astonishing numbers.
And that "great being who commands them" is probably the "Great God of Light" - Necrozma.
"From Gengar's description, Necrozma hadn't split yet at that time. What happened afterwards?" Yang Ming pondered.
"After slaughtering all the local indigenous people, these terrifying beings were still not satisfied and continued to slaughter the surrounding creatures. Finally, the guardian spirits of the four islands united and attempted to drive out these invaders."
"In addition to the guardians of the four islands, other Pokémon from the surrounding areas have also joined the battle. They are all fighting for their own future. In addition, even humans have joined the battle to drive out these thugs."
"The battle lasted for half a month. Despite everyone's desperate efforts, we were still no match for the thugs. Even the four guardian gods were injured in the battle."
"Just when everyone seemed to be despairing, another unspeakable being accidentally arrived here. It was a mighty dragon, emanating waves of deathly aura. Just one look at it and I knew it was the king of our clan. No, to be more precise, the supreme deity!"
Giratina! Yang Ming's heart skipped a beat. He had never imagined that this legendary Pokémon had actually visited Alola hundreds of years ago.
"As soon as the Lord Divine appeared, he engaged in battle with that great golden being. The battle was so intense that the sky and the earth were dark, and time and space were distorted. The aftermath of the battle alone was enough to annihilate bystanders. Honestly, even in death, I will never forget this battle."
Xiaojuer and Aserola listened with great interest. Although legends of "gods" exist everywhere, it is quite interesting to hear such wonderful secrets from the mouth of a Pokémon.
"This war lasted for three years. Although our deities were incredibly powerful, they were still inferior to the great golden being. Just as we were about to lose, a miraculous phenomenon suddenly erupted in the heavens and earth. The sun and moon simultaneously soared into the sky, and the great golden being actually began to split apart!"
"The golden entity split into three parts. Two of them dimmed, while the other became even more violent." Gengar's voice deepened. "Our spirits seized this opportunity and, along with the Four Guardians, numerous Pokémon, and humans, worked together to repel the violent entity. The other two parts disappeared."
Yang Ming's mind moved. He guessed that these two parts might be Solgaleo and Lunala later. Necrozma, whose strength was greatly reduced, was naturally no match for Giratina, and could only lead his Ultra Beasts back to their original space.
"Although our deity triumphed, it was not unscathed. One of its wings was broken by the great golden being during the battle and fell here, forming this space."
"This space is of great benefit to ghost Pokémon like me. While other ghost Pokémon haven't discovered this place yet, I will occupy it exclusively and use the power of that god to improve myself."
"And this area is also one of the entrances to another place known as the 'Spirit World'."
The spirit world! It's another special place. It's the territory of ghost Pokémon, where humans can't survive at all!
"So this is one of the entrances to the spirit world? No wonder the ghost Pokémon here are much stronger than those in other places. It turns out that they are taking advantage of the environment." Yang Ming thought to himself.
Giant Gengar continued, "With the blessing of this space, my lifespan far exceeds that of my fellow comrades. Just like that, another hundred years later, another great being arrived here."
"Compared to the two great beings before, this one was extremely weak and on the verge of collapse at any moment. Not long after arriving here, it shattered and dispersed, completely dissipating."
Yang Ming's heart moved. It seemed that this third great existence was Zygarde who escaped from the Carlos region.
"And it was by chance that I absorbed the remaining cells from that great being, which gave me my current wisdom."
The giant Gengar's body suddenly split open, revealing a core within it that radiated a mysterious glow. "This was formed after absorbing Zygarde cells. With it, I not only learned human language, but also learned to control my fellow Pokémon, establishing a kingdom that belonged only to ghost Pokémon."
Countless shadows emerged from the darkness, bowing before Gengar. These were all ghost-type Pokémon, some as powerful as the previous Grunt.
"Now, you have broken into my territory. I could have wiped you out, but I am very interested in you, so I will give you a chance." Gengar said grimly.
"What opportunity?" Yang Ming asked vigilantly.
"Submit to me and become my trainer!"
