Chapter 574: The Soul-Catching Envoy in the Night
As the story told by the chatterbox came to an end, the sun in the sky began to slowly set.
"…Then we encountered a storm, lost our way, and finally…how did it happen?" Chatterbox suddenly got stuck at the end.
Su Yi pondered for a moment and said to the noisy bird: "I think you should understand that the Hai Ren we saw is probably..."
The noisy bird suddenly said with a depressed look: "I understand..."
"But because of this, I want to see Hae In again!"
Su Yi could sense the emotions contained in the noise bird's voice. He nodded and said, "Then the deal is done!"
"Doctor, Xiaozhao, the situation may be a little supernatural, you..."
Dr. Laben interrupted, "This is a rare opportunity to observe. Although it feels a bit weird, I still can't help but be curious."
Xiaozhao nodded, agreeing with the doctor's statement, and said, "And if he is a friend of the chatterbox, then he won't have any ill will towards us."
Su Yi thought about it and released Lucario, Infernape, Catelynx and Dragonite.
……
As night fell, in the temporary camp in Guikuyuan, the well-fed baby Manaphy was gradually coaxed to sleep in Su Yi's arms.
After putting Manaphy into the ball and letting it sleep, Su Yi stood up and looked around.
The Pokémon commonly seen during the day have disappeared, and a few Puffballs and Windballs are floating freely in the evening breeze in the distance.
Several Gastly and Haunter cast curious glances at Su Yi from afar, but were frightened by the Raptor and Catelynx and did not dare to approach.
"Lucario, Infernape, did you sense it?" Su Yi asked.
"Baku..."
“Ouch…”
The two shook their heads, not sensing any strange wave or ghostly aura.
"Let's look for him nearby. I hope he won't leave Guikuyuan..."
Guikuyuan is not big, but after Su Yi and his team searched everywhere including the surrounding large area, they did not find any traces or smells related to ghosts.
The chatterbox's expression suddenly became a little depressed. Perhaps it shouldn't have had too high expectations in the beginning.
“咕呜。”
The owl patted the noisy bird's back gently with its wings to show comfort and encouragement.
"Aga!"
So Lewton sniffed the air hard, trying to find clues, but how could a ghost have a smell?
At this moment, the Jade-washed Fire Beast was startled and warned: "Baku!"
In the bushes under the night sky, a dark night demon and several wandering night spirits floated towards Su Yi and his group.
"You again?" Su Yi asked in surprise.
After meeting Hairen's ghost that day, he encountered these Pokémon while searching for traces of Meowth. Judging from the number and composition of the members, they should be the same group from that day.
"Yo!"
The Night Demon looked at the Noisy Bird with a bit of doubt, then pointed at the Fierce Claw Dragon and uttered a stern voice, and the Wandering Night Spirit behind it immediately became active.
"What's going on?!" Su Yi asked in surprise.
"Baku?! Baku..."
Infernape looked shocked and explained something to Lucario.
Lucario translated: "Infernomon said that the Night Demons have sensed the 108 ghosts on the body of the Fierce Claw, and they believe that these ghosts should be properly led into the underworld."
"what?"
It feels like someone thinks your Pokémon is illegal and wants to fix it.
But this was the power that the Fierce Claw Dragon defeated the Flower Rock Monster and worked hard to tame it. It was won through strength, which should also be considered a kind of "evolution".
"Baku!"
The Jade-washed Fire Beast immediately stopped the Night Demon and tried to explain to it.
"Yo!"
The tone of the Night Demon was full of determination.
Lucario sighed and said, "It said that even if it was a complete Flower Rock Monster, it would lead it to the underworld, not to mention these remaining ghosts."
"Well, its attitude is very firm." Lucario added.
Su Yi pulled the corner of his mouth and said: "I heard it!"
Although he understood that this might be the responsibility of the Night Demon Clan, this was a chance for the Fierce Claw Dragon to take a step forward, a rare opportunity brought about by coincidence, so how could he just give up like that?
"I've tried to persuade them, and if that doesn't work, we can only drive them away!"
"I'm sorry!"
"Fierce Claw Dragon, sneak attack!" Su Yi said in a deep voice.
"Ow!"
The Fierce Claw Dragon pounced forward, then disappeared into a ball of darkness. Then, the Fierce Claw Dragon's figure appeared above the Night Demon with a hole in the darkness, and it controlled its strength to swing its claws at it.
But the Night Demon seemed to have sensed something in advance and quickly turned around and used flaming fists to resist.
"Yo!"
The Night Demon groaned and was knocked away by the huge force, but did not suffer any serious damage.
"Ow...!"
The Fierce Claw Dragon let out a vicious roar, trying to persuade the Night Demon to retreat.
"Yo!"
The expression on the Night Demon's face could not be seen, but its tone was still firm.
The Fierce Claw Dragon's eyes became stern, and then it raised its head and roared, making a ferocious cry. 108 balls of phantom fire suddenly emerged and surrounded its body restlessly, and a cold and eerie atmosphere suddenly rose.
Swish!
The Fierce Claw Dragon moved and rushed towards the Night Demon at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, several balls of phantom fire merged into the Fierce Claw, condensing into ferocious netherworld claws that tore towards the Night Demon.
"Yo!"
In desperation, the Night Demon roared, and together with the surrounding wandering Night Spirits, it quickly extended a shadow blade from the shadow under it and stabbed the Fierce Claw Dragon.
"Roar!"
The Fierce Claw Dragon roared loudly and used its shadow claws to attack the shadows gathered together. With a bang, the moves were canceled out, but the Fierce Claw Dragon's figure disappeared as well.
"Yo!"
The Night Demon's single red eye scanned the air rapidly, as if it had locked onto something.
Su Yi narrowed his eyes, and a guess that surprised him arose in his mind: Could it be that the Night Demon Spirit could observe the Fierce Claw Dragon that entered the state of latent spiritual attack?
But it's no use! It's impossible to dodge it at that speed!
hum!
A strange space opened up, and the Fierce Claw Dragon rushed out quickly, swinging a claw at the Night Demon.
Bah!
The Night Demon used his moves to resist again. Although he blocked some damage, he was still knocked away. The power gap between the two was too great.
At the same time, the figure of the Fierce Claw Dragon disappeared again. When it reappeared, it had already swung its fierce claws at the Night Demon who had not yet stabilized his body.
Whoa!
"Yo!"
The Night Demon let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground.
The Fierce Claw Dragon jumped over and pinned it to the ground with one claw, growling and persuading it to give up.
At this moment, Su Yi suddenly asked with a flash of inspiration: "Wait a minute, let me ask you a question. Did you catch a human ghost here that day?"
"Oh..." The helpless Night Demon nodded dejectedly.
Su Yi asked: "So where did you send him?"
"Hey."
The Night Demon seemed to suddenly sense something and pointed in a direction.
Suddenly, a creepy feeling arose suddenly, as if cold tentacles were crawling up the spine.
The noisy bird panicked and said, "It's coming! That horrible thing!"
I saw a dark purple space opening up in the direction the Night Demon was pointing, and the aura that made the living shudder came from it.
"That is... the spiritual world?!" Su Yi said in surprise.
Although it is not often mentioned in Pokémon works, the spirit world does exist. It is believed to be the habitat of ghosts and ghost-type Pokémon, as well as the world after death.
Now that we have ghosts, the existence of the spirit world seems to be a matter of course, and it is as full of mysteries as the true form of the Mimic Hill and the underground part of the Diggers.
Looking at the deep door to the spirit world, Xiaozhao said uneasily: "Something is coming!"
