Chapter 65: Evolution, Ghist!
Chapter 65: Evolution, Ghist!
"Whoa?"
Little Six-Tail and Jing He, along with the surrounding students, all watched in surprise as Ghist was enveloped in a white light.
"Keh!"
In fact, Ghist itself was also quite bewildered.
In the white light, Ghist's body gradually began to change, a pair of paws slowly growing out.
The mist gradually spread, slowly solidifying into a ghostly face with sharp, spiky features, and long, thin eyes. Compared to before, the eyes now appeared more sinister, with a triangular shape, adding a few more evil auras.
In the black pupils, a ghostly blue flame burned, and the small tiger teeth turned into sharp fangs.
As the white light gradually dissipated, the evolved Ghist finally revealed itself.
No, now it should be called Ghist!
"Kah—"
Ghist hovered in the air, using its two paws to look left and right, seemingly finding it both novel and amusing. Its voice, compared to before, had become much deeper.
"Ghist."
Jing He laughed and called out.
"Keh?"
Ghist was terrified and immediately reacted, its eyes widening in fear, and its tongue poking out even more, licking Jing He.
Jing He's expression changed, and he immediately shouted:
"Stop! This outfit is very expensive! Don't drool!"
Squish—
"Sss—The paralysis is getting stronger!"
Crack!
"Ying's eyes were filled with the taste of fear, and the tingling effects of Ghist's 'tongue lick' had become even stronger after evolution.
However, after much 'practice,' many had started to adapt to Ghist's 'tongue lick,' now not only being reverted to its original form but also finding it more challenging.
"Still, I must congratulate you, Ghist."
Jing He's 'resentment' couldn't hide his inner joy.
Although he feared the experience of catching a Pokemon, the joy and satisfaction of seeing a Pokemon evolve made him feel.
It wasn't just him, it was also Ghist. The result of their efforts over that period of time was worth it.
The evolution was a bit unexpected, but it was also a natural progression.
"Keh!"
Ghist blinked at Jing He, its paws moving slightly.
()
It let out a few drops of water, easily manipulating the situation! Then it blinked at Ice Six-Tails.
Tears welled up in its eyes, it suddenly sniffed.
"Kehh~"
It was too hard, too hard!
Finally, the old man could finally pet six tails!
Every time Jing He pet six tails and it couldn't reach, you know how these days were spent?
"Oh, oh—"
Ice Six-Tail's eyes glowed with a psychic glow.
"Keh, keh~"
Ghist hurriedly waved its paws.
"Just a joke, don't take it so seriously."
In the end, its gaze fell on the knight costume hanging on the wall.
Jing He's lips twitched.
Sure enough, it was all for the costume.
A few minutes later.
Ice Six-Tail put on the dark blue Christmas costume, its tails still tangled with the help of a few female students, and adorned with light blue butterfly knots.
"Wow! So cute! Can I touch?"
"The old man, the old man's young heart!"
"Awei!"
Some people, still attracted by Ghist's evolution, couldn't help but to compliment Ice Six-Tail's new look.
"Indeed, it looks very good." Jing He's eyes also lit up.
"Oh~o(////▽////)q"
And, it was so good.
Clank, clank—
At that moment, a figure clad in a deep purple armor, head tucked into a glowing helmet, stepped out as a "knight."
Huh?
When Jing He saw this armored figure walk out, he was stunned, subconsciously muttering:
"Blue blade ghost?"
It wasn’t exactly the same, but it was pretty close.
But then again.
The hands made sense, as Gengar at least had claws, but what about the feet?
Jing He curiously walked up and gave the armor’s leg a gentle kick.
Clang, clang—
Empty?! So you just hung the leg armor down there?
“Gengar?”
But something seemed off to Jing He.
Given Gengar’s mischievous nature, shouldn’t it have opened the helmet and acted all cool and smug by now?
“Kya, kya”
It’s stuck, help me, please.
Jing He: “.”
I knew it, how did you manage to fit that big head of yours into this knight’s armor?
In the end, Jing He continued to wander the school festival with Ice Tail in a Christmas costume and Gengar, who was now floating with only half a set of armor.
With hands, Gengar was clearly much more convenient, holding a huge ice cream cone in one hand and a spoon in the other.
Just to clarify.
The spoon was for Ice Tail, while Gengar preferred to eat directly.
Before long, the giant ice cream was nearly half gone.
The school festival had many activities.
Haunted house, food street, special sales, battle arenas, and more.
Gengar initially wanted to go to the haunted house, but Jing He dragged him away.
He was worried that the staff in the haunted house might be too frightened by Gengar to continue their work, ruining the experience for others.
As they walked, they eventually arrived at the battle area.
Here, the place was also festively decorated, with many battle enthusiasts, both students and teachers, gathered.
The battle area of the school festival had various modes.
For example, 1v1, 3v3 arena battles, doubles battles, tower climbs, and special challenges.
While other parts of the festival were organized by the students, the battle area was managed by the school to prevent any accidents.
For safety, they even temporarily invited a Nurse Joy from the Pokemon Center to oversee the area.
After all, the Kanaz Pokemon Academy was the largest Pokemon school in the Hoenn region, and it had its reputation to uphold.
Since the school was in charge, there were naturally some prizes to motivate participants.
“Good evening, Nurse Joy.”
Considering they were acquaintances, Jing He walked over to the aid station and greeted Nurse Joy.
“Teacher Jing He.” Nurse Joy’s eyes lit up when she saw Jing He, and she giggled, covering her mouth. “You look very handsome tonight.”
“Thank you.”
“Kya!” Gengar raised its hand to its forehead and waved its claws at Nurse Joy and the Chansey beside her.
“Gengar? Did it evolve?”
Jing He looked a bit embarrassed.
Luckily, she didn’t ask how it evolved; it was a bit hard to explain.
“Oo, oo~~”
The shy Ice Tail also gave a gentle call to Nurse Joy, a sign of its progress.
“Oh, Vulpix, you are so cute!”
“Lucky~~”
“Teacher Jing He, are you going to participate in the battles? I heard the prizes are quite good this year.” Nurse Joy asked.
“Prizes—”
“Teacher Jing He!”
At that moment, Daisuke, wearing his signature little suit, walked over with a smile.
“I’ve been looking for you, and here you are.”
What do you mean, "here you are"?
“Gengar? Teacher, did your Gengar evolve?”
Daisuke immediately noticed Gengar in the armor. “When did it evolve?”
As he asked, he smiled and greeted Gengar and Ice Tail.
Jing He: “.”
“Cough, um, Daisuke, have you tried the battle challenges yet?” Jing He changed the subject.
“No.” Daisuke shook his head and smiled. “But I know the school put a lot of effort into this. The final prize for the tower climb is a set of attribute gems.”
“Kya?”
Gengar’s eyes lit up at the mention of the prize, and it started to get excited.
