Chapter 41: Agatha
Chapter 41: Agatha
The next day, Saturday.
"Kyaah~"
Waking up once again to the "Lick" from Gastly, Jing He felt he had become numb to the spiciness of the Cherib Berry.
Fortunately, Gastly was only beginning to master "Toxic" and couldn't guarantee it would work every time, so after taking three Persim Berries yesterday, he finally managed to detoxify himself.
After a quick wash, the first thing Jing He did was tie on an apron and head into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
With practiced ease, he cracked an egg with one hand, watching the news on his phone while gently shaking the frying pan. The sizzling sound mixed with the news broadcast, and the aroma quickly filled the air.
Gastly, meanwhile, sat on the sofa, tapping the screen with its tongue.
The chat messages, like "Thanks to the old ghost for sending a small star," were barely noticeable, lost in the sea of comments.
But it didn't mind.
Because it was watching a live battle, and not just any battle—it was a Sinnoh channel broadcast.
The combatants were Cynthia and Agatha!
But Gastly's focus was on the Pokemon Cynthia was commanding.
An Eevee.
"Hehe, Eevee, hehe."
"Breakfast is ready."
Jing He suddenly called out.
"Kyaah!"
Gastly jumped, guiltily and hastily covering the phone. It peeked into the kitchen, relieved to see that Jing He hadn't noticed.
It quickly used its tongue to close the live stream.
"What were you sneaking around looking at?"
At the dining table, Jing He removed his apron and asked, seemingly casual but with a hint of suspicion.
"Kyaah, kyaah."
Gastly shook its head vigorously, trying to act as if nothing was wrong.
But how could its expression escape Jing He's notice?
However, Jing He didn't press further.
Since Gastly's account had no money, there was no need to worry about it getting scammed. He let it be.
"Since it's the weekend today, let's go to the Kanaz Police Station to see if we can calm a few Pokemon. Then we'll head to the market to see if we can buy you a 'Move Tutor.'"
Gastly had just learned "Toxic," but for its current state, "Toxic" overlapped too much with "Will-O-Wisp" and "Curse."
While it knew several moves, most were debuffs, and it had very few offensive moves. Jing He wanted to see if he could afford "Fling."
Since Gastly had said it wanted to get stronger, and he had a trainer's dream, there was no reason to hesitate. He should try his best to make it happen.
"Kyaah~"
Gastly's eyes darted around.
I thought of a really powerful move last night!
"Hmm?"
Jing He, who had just taken a bite of the fried egg, looked surprised.
Could it be that Gastly had a natural talent and had learned another move?
Learning two moves in one day?
"Kyaah—"
Gastly smiled confidently.
The mist around its body shifted, gradually forming a shape.
Jing He's expression grew increasingly strange. He stared at Gastly's current form for a long time before tentatively asking:
"Is this... a Lizard?"
"Kyaah!" Gastly glared.
"A Bat?"
"Kyaah kyaah!"
"A Tardigrade?"
Gastly: "..."
After a lot of effort from Gastly to explain, Jing He finally understood, "You mean you were trying to transform into Giratina?"
"Kyaah!"
Gastly nodded vigorously.
If it used "Scary Face" while transforming into Giratina, wouldn't that be terrifying?
Right?
Jing He finished the last half of the fried egg in his bowl and licked his lips.
"Maybe we should stick to transforming into Gastly Jr. in the future?"
Gastly's "Transform" ability was really not impressive.
"Kyaah! (((//Д//)))"
In the Kanto region, Dumb Valley.
"Charizard, fly a bit lower."
A young man with a brownish-red buzz cut and a cloak lay on the back of a massive Charizard, flying just above the ground through the desolate canyon.
At the same time, a voice came through the headphones he was wearing.
"Inspector Sakamoto, all the tourists have been evacuated."
The young man pressed his earpiece and replied, "Good work, thank you."
His eyes continuously scanned the jagged rocks around him, seemingly searching for something.
Suddenly—
"Roar!!"
Charizard let out a low growl, flapping its wings vigorously and soaring upward.
At that moment, the rock wall on one side of the canyon cliff suddenly exploded, sending countless sharp rocks of various sizes flying out, instantly creating a large hole in the wall.
If Charizard's reaction hadn't been so quick, those shattered rocks, while not a significant threat to Charizard, could have injured Sakamoto.
"Found it."
Sakamoto remained calm.
A few days ago, someone encountered a very aggressive and unknown Pokemon in Big Dummy Valley. In the following days, many people and Pokemon were injured to varying degrees.
As a Kanto League Inspector, Sakamoto took on this task and came to investigate.
After searching back and forth several times and deliberately provoking with Charizard, he finally lured the creature out.
From the depths of the large, dark hole, a Pokemon with a grayish-white body and a pair of light blue eyes, resembling a Pteranodon, suddenly emerged!
Finally seeing the culprit, Sakamoto dismounted from Charizard, momentarily stunned.
"Kabutops?" he exclaimed, his voice tinged with surprise.
He immediately threw a Poke Ball.
A red light flashed, and a fierce-looking Gyarados appeared.
"Roar!!"
Fossil Dragon, or Kabutops, naturally wasn't afraid of Gyarados and responded with a loud, powerful roar.
The two Pokemon glared at each other.
"Charizard, Dragon Breath!"
"Gyarados, Waterfall!"
Sakamoto's commands followed.
Huh?
Seeing the two Pokemon charging at it, Kabutops was momentarily taken aback.
Wasn't this supposed to be a one-on-one battle?
"Clang!"
The Poke Ball stopped shaking, and the red light faded.
Sakamoto stepped forward to pick up the Poke Ball, looking through the red transparent glass to see the Pokemon inside, now asleep.
But his expression wasn't one of joy.
During the battle, he could clearly sense that this Kabutops had just awakened from a fossilized state and was not in good health. Its emotions and thoughts seemed to be a bit off as well.
With that thought, he didn't dare stay and immediately recalled Gyarados before mounting Charizard again.
He quickly flew toward the Pokemon Center.
"Sorry, sir."
With a smile, the salesgirl apologized as Jing He and the droopy Gastly walked out of the Kanaz Department Store.
The TM for "Double-Edge" was indeed available in the store, but Jing He couldn't afford it.
Even after he and Gastly had helped treat the two rampaging Pokemon at the Kanaz Police Station, he still couldn't afford it.
That was because there were only two rampaging Pokemon at the Kanaz Police Station.
The rest, under Yuanji's instructions, were being transported to Kanaz City, but that would take time.
After all, those Pokemon weren't easy to transport, and ordinary Poke Balls struggled to contain them.
"It's fine, we'll save up enough money eventually," Jing He reassured Gastly.
Just do more "side quests" to earn money.
Jing He took out his phone, scrolled through it, and locked onto a name.
Jing He: How's Magikarp doing lately?
