Chapter 540: Eating, Sleeping, and Beating Up Da Ye
Chapter 540: Eating, Sleeping, and Beating Up Da Ye
"What did you do?" Jinghe asked, his expression filled with suspicion.
What did he do that caused so many Ghost-type Pokemon in this ancient city to become restless? Why was he so untrusting?
Da Ye slapped his forehead as if remembering something. He rummaged through his pockets and finally took out an ancient-looking stone ball.
"This must be it. At first, I and Flame Monkey thought it was something edible."
The sphere, when viewed from a distance, resembled a Rimu fruit.
Da Ye usually didn't carry many items with him, and after being trapped in this ancient city for so long, it was understandable that he would be hungry and look for something to eat.
But don't you think it's a foolish idea to search for a tree fruit in an ancient city that has been abandoned for an unknown number of years?
Oh, you mean his brain? Da Ye had almost zero common sense, so Jinghe understood.
"What is this?" Herona asked, seeing the sphere in Da Ye's hand. She froze for a moment, then her expression turned serious.
Buzz—
As she spoke, a cold aura emanated from the stone ball in Da Ye's hand, transforming into wisps of black mist that seeped into his body.
In an instant, Da Ye's eyes became hollow, and he suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh.
With his hands on his hips and his head held high, he exuded an air of arrogance.
"Kekeke! After thousands of years, I, the king, have finally seen the light of day again!"
"Meloetta?" Meloetta quickly hid behind Jinghe, while Tyrogue and Gramps also looked like they had seen a ghost.
Jinghe's lips twitched.
A Ghost?
In the Pokemon world, with the existence of Ghost-type Pokemon, it wasn't particularly surprising for a human to turn into a ghost.
For example, in the original story, Satoshi and Shinnoh, during a trip to a pyramid, accidentally triggered a mechanism, causing the ancient king Pokulantis to possess him.
Judging by Da Ye's demeanor, Herona concluded, "He's been possessed by the spirit of a deceased king from this ancient city."
No wonder Da Ye resembled Satoshi.
Their experiences were quite similar.
"Hmm?" Gramps scratched his head and approached Da Ye, scanning him up and down.
"What are you doing!" 'Da Ye' glared at Gramps.
How dare you get so close to me!
How dare you!
But Gramps ignored him, gently rubbing his chin and muttering.
"Hmm."
So, humans could indeed become ghosts.
His gaze fell on Jinghe, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Jinghe's heart skipped a beat.
Does this mean Gramps has confirmed his suspicions and can now execute his 'grand plan'? Jinghe didn't want to grow old, unable to die or live a normal life.
"Hmph!"
"Da Ye!" Herona coldly snorted, then opened her arms and laughed.
"Kekeke—Now, no one can stop me from conquering the world! The world will soon be mine!"
Watching Da Ye's delusional behavior, Jinghe whispered, "I feel like Da Ye has unleashed his true nature."
Herona nodded slightly, agreeing, "It's something he would say."
Flame Monkey looked at 'Da Ye' with a dazed expression.
You could say he wasn't Da Ye, as he had Da Ye's appearance and manner of speaking, but something still felt off.
At this moment, 'Da Ye' finally noticed Jinghe and the others, his face turned serious, and he lifted his chin arrogantly, saying, "Having seen the king, why do you not bow?"
However, Jinghe and the others were looking elsewhere, at Flame Monkey.
Jinghe gestured, "Flame Monkey, come over here quickly. He's not Da Ye."
"Huh?"
Flame Monkey, who was still puzzled, hesitated for only a moment before running over to Jinghe's side.
Yes.
He wasn't Da Ye.
Although Da Ye could be a bit eccentric, he wasn't this delusional.
More importantly, Flame Monkey couldn't sense any of Da Ye's usual enthusiasm, that fiery passion, from the possessed Da Ye.
So, was Da Ye truly possessed by a ghost? Flame Monkey's eyebrows furrowed, and flames rose from his body.
Unbearable!
His fists glowed with fire.
"How dare you ignore me!" 'Da Ye' roared, "Where is my royal guard!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Along with a few dull tremors, another wave of Ghost-type energy surged from the ancient city.
Then, with heavy footsteps, several Terraformer, tall and proud, emerged from the ancient city.
They flew through the air and landed with a 'boom' beside 'Da Ye'.
At a glance, there were at least a dozen Terraformer!
"Terraformer, a golem-like Pokemon with Ground and Ghost types, is said to have been created by ancient humans. They possess absolute loyalty and obey their master's commands."
You see, even in ancient times, humans attempted to create Pokemon.
Although it didn't reach the level of Mewtwo, the Terraformer was undoubtedly an excellent "product".
Upon seeing these Terraformers, Da Ye's smile grew even more unrestrained.
"Have you witnessed the power of this king?"
But the response he received was Jinghe, who let out a sigh of relief and discreetly patted his chest.
What a fright.
Jinghe had thought this 'king' would summon the Fire Moth from the depths of the Ancient City, but it turned out to be just a group of Terraformers and some other Ghost-type Pokemon.
As a so-called 'king' who had already passed away, he should just stay dead and not suddenly reappear, causing trouble.
Herona and Gardelia simultaneously grabbed the Poke Balls at their waists.
However, Jinghe's actions were quicker than theirs.
Buzz—
Amidst the flashing red light, Glaceon, Metagross, Rapid Dragon, Martial Bear Master, Houndoom, Gramps, Tyrogue, and Ditto all appeared by his side.
Herona summoned Sharpedo, while Gardelia summoned Gothita.
Seeing Jinghe summon so many Pokemon at once, the two couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
Although the opponent had quite a few Terraformers, it seemed unnecessary to summon so many Pokemon.
But Jinghe calmly said, "To deal with these ghosts that possess others' bodies, what's the point of talking about morality with them? Just crush them."
Herona and Gardelia exchanged glances.
That made sense.
So, the two of them summoned all the Pokemon they had with them.
For a moment, the originally spacious square felt a little crowded.
"You...!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of so many Pokemon, and all of them with formidable auras, Da Ye's face paled.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
As a king from ancient times, he still had his wits about him.
It was extremely rare in ancient times to have so many powerful Pokemon, and anyone who possessed them would undoubtedly become a kingdom's pillar or a general.
Now, three such people had suddenly appeared.
"Roar!"
Flame Monkey roared and charged forward.
With flaming fists, it headed straight for Da Ye.
Hmm?
So aggressive?
You must have wanted to punch Da Ye for a long time, huh?
"I'll find a way to seal that guy back into the stone," Herona said.
This task could probably only be accomplished by her.
Jinghe nodded and waved his hand.
"Beat him up!"
"Woohoo!"
Rapid Dragon flapped its wings and took the lead, charging straight at a Terraformer guarding Da Ye.
Take this, you meathead!
Bang!!
"Roar!"
Glaceon exhaled a chill, and as its tail stretched out, a faint grayish-white hue appeared in its originally pale crystal eyes. The cold air it exhaled caused beautiful ice flowers to form in the air.
A Terraformer that tried to move was covered in frost before it could do anything.
In the brief moment of a breath, the Terraformer was frozen into an ice sculpture!
At the same time, Gardelia's Gothita and Ditto were enveloped in a psychic aura. Spiritual threads formed blades, and with a series of "Bang, Bang, Bang" sounds, three Terraformers were slammed into the wall.
"Roar!"
Without needing Herona's command, Sharpedo roared and charged forward, its scythe swinging. Two Terraformers' bodies instantly caved in, embedding themselves into the ground.
"This..."
Seeing this, Da Ye's pupils contracted, and he swallowed hard.
So fierce?
Who exactly were these people?
"All of you, come out for this king!" Da Ye shouted as he retreated.
The Flame Monkey charged at him relentlessly, knocking over a Crushing Coffin with a single punch.
It hadn't shown such bravery before.
But as Da Ye called out, more and more Terraformers, Crushing Coffins, and other Ghost-type Pokemon emerged from the Ancient City.
This was his source of strength for a comeback.
Initially, he had great confidence in this power, believing that with these Ghost-type Pokemon, he could become the king of the Unova region once again.
However, the strength he was so proud of seemed to struggle against just these three people.
"Fire!" Da Ye shouted.
Crack, crack, crack—
The statues standing on the stone pillars crumbled, transforming into Darumaka!
This was a special form of Darumaka—the Daruma state, where they resembled stone statues.
When a specific mechanism was triggered or certain conditions were met, they would return to their original form.
"Quickly, unfreeze the Terraformers!" Da Ye shouted.
(End of Chapter)The Darumaka's movements weren't slow, and they noticed the Ice Ninetales. Their bushy eyebrows rose, and boiling flames erupted from their mouths.
Jinghe's eyebrows twitched.
Da Ye still enjoyed playing with fire.
"Ninetales!" Jinghe exclaimed.
Just then, the Ice Ninetales tested the power of their "digestive" abilities on the Terraformer.
"Roar~"
Understanding the Ice Ninetales' intentions, snowflakes began to fall within the confined space, quickly filling the entire area.
The temperature dropped sharply.
Simultaneously, the Ice Ninetales unleashed an extremely cold beam, targeting not the Terraformer but the flames spewed by the Darumaka.
The next second—
"Da Ye!" he exclaimed in shock.
A cracking sound of ice crystallization followed, and the flames spewed by the Darumaka were instantly frozen! It was as if the scorching flames were covered by a layer of ice, and then... nothing.
"This doesn't make sense," Da Ye muttered under his breath.
How could flames be frozen?
However, it wasn't just the flames. Even the pillars and the recently awakened Darumaka were all frozen into ice sculptures.
A world of ice!
"Roar."
The Ice Ninetales exhaled a puff of white breath, its eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
Although it consumed a lot of energy, this scene undoubtedly proved that its learning direction was correct.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Da Ye grunted, his face turning pale.
He revealed a look of horror.
Poison?
When did that happen?
You were three against one, and it was a group attack. How could you even think of using poison? That's... that's too... shameless!
"Hmm."
The Gramps, floating in mid-air, seemed to be deep in thought, not intervening in the battle but observing Da Ye.
The fact was that even a human transformed into a ghost could be poisoned.
Numbness, shrinking, burning... these negative status effects?
When a human becomes a ghost, are they still considered a Pokemon?
Wearing the glasses gifted by Herona, the purple-skinned boy became a "Ghost Research Expert."
"I've got it!"
At this moment, under the protection of Lucario and Glaceon, Herona found the key to freeing Da Ye from the ghostly possession.
"Just put the stone back where it belongs!"
Stone?
Jinghe's gaze fell on the sphere in Da Ye's hand.
"Hmph!"
Da Ye smirked, "This is mine. You took it, so take it. You say to put it back, so put it back. Am I not supposed to..."
"Hmm."
Take it then!
Gramps reappeared, playing with the stone in his hand, examining it closely.
This thing... it doesn't seem to be the key to turning people into ghosts, does it?
Gramps huffed, rolling his eyes at Da Ye.
At this moment, Da Ye was completely confused, not understanding why Gramps had taken the stone and was now glaring at him.
"Gramps, stop playing around. Da Ye has been beaten enough, put the stone back." Jinghe said.
"Hmm."
Gramps stuck out his tongue and obediently dove into the shadows.
"Quick! Stop him!" Da Ye shouted.
In response, a fist flew towards him.
Give Da Ye back!
Boom!
Da Ye was smashed and flew out.
At the same time, Gramps, following Herona's instructions, placed the stone back into a depression that seemed to be an altar.
Click!
"No—!" Da Ye shouted in despair.
The next second, a black mist peeled off from his body, and Da Ye's eyes rolled back as he collapsed to the ground.
The surrounding Ghost-type Pokemon, without their leader, retreated back into the Ancient City.
Everything seemed to have returned to peace.
"Hiss—"
Da Ye woke up, rubbing his swollen face, looking dazed.
"Who punched me?"
"Huh?"
Flame Monkey crossed his arms, tilting his head back, assuming an "I don't know anything" expression.
Jinghe and his friends pretended not to see anything.
"Hmm."
Gramps quietly approached Jinghe, his palm open, revealing two Dark Stones!
...to be continued.
