Chapter 9 discusses the chemical reaction between ghostly attributes and necromancy.
When the ship docked, Qianliyao surprisingly offered to train and go on adventures with Lin Ye!
Lin Ye actually thought this was great. Not only could he get a free beautiful female sparring partner, but he could also make friends with the gym owner's daughter. It couldn't be more cost-effective.
However, both he and Zoroya had many secrets that were not convenient to reveal to others, so they could only politely decline.
Qianli Yao was not only cheerful and talkative, but also very understanding. She guessed that Lin Ye had some kind of secret training, so she didn't insist. After exchanging contact information, they went their separate ways.
Mt. Sacred is the largest gathering place for Pokémon to rest in the Hoenn region, and most people who visit the island do so to remember their deceased Pokémon.
Of course, there are also many trainers like Lin Ye who come here because of his reputation, eager to embark on adventures and gain experience with their Pokémon.
Thus, the Sending-off Mountain was roughly divided into two areas: one was the main road built by man, which was also the area where most worshippers were active.
The ghost Pokémon on Mount Oogami are restrained by the League's powerful members and will not attack those on the main path.
As for the trainers who come to take adventures, they will deliberately take secluded paths, or even go directly into the wasteland high up on Mount Sekken.
That area is a free zone left by the League for wild Pokémon, and countless ghosts have gathered there.
Furthermore, the deeper you go into the mountaintop, the stronger the Ghost Pokémon becomes, and the greater the probability of discovering Ghost-type rare treasures. Trainers need to carefully choose their climbing path based on their own abilities.
Lin Ye naturally wouldn't be overly ambitious. After parting ways with Xiao Yao, he cautiously chose a misty, winding path, intending to test Zorua's combat abilities first.
These mists are manifestations of ghostly energy that has become so concentrated that they cannot be dispelled even by skills like "Storm".
Even seasoned trainers would feel uncomfortable and tense if they were in a thick fog!
But Lin Ye is an exception!
For some reason, after climbing Mount Songshen, the magic within him became subtly excited, and he felt a certain attraction.
As he stepped into the mist-shrouded wilderness, the flow of magic suddenly accelerated, and even breathing felt incredibly refreshing.
Lin Ye felt a jolt of energy and immediately activated the meditation technique given to him by the Necromancer Academy, which multiplied his magical power.
This feeling is like encountering a blessed land in a cultivation novel. I never expected that the ghostly mist in the Pokémon world would be so compatible with necromancy. It's a pleasant surprise.
Lin Ye estimated that if he could live in this ghostly mist for a long time, he would probably be able to break through the bottleneck of becoming a formal necromancer naturally.
Moreover, the fog that would normally obscure humans and most Pokémon had no negative impact on him whatsoever.
Even when Lin Ye sensed that he was in the midst of it, the range that his mental energy could detect actually expanded rapidly.
"I never imagined that the ghost energy of the Pokémon world and the necromancy of another world would have such a chemical reaction."
However, I wonder if I can use necromancy to cast ghost-type skills. I'll try it later!
With that thought in mind, Lin Ye had already ventured deep into the wilderness and mist, with Zorua leading the way and keeping watch!
At this moment, Zorua had transformed back into its emerald form, intently watching its surroundings.
In fact, Lin Ye's perception ability while in the ghostly mist was already able to cover a very large area.
But he didn't immediately remind Zoroa, wanting to use this opportunity to train its own reaction ability.
Suddenly, Lin Ye sensed something; a strange dark shadow shot towards him from afar.
He didn't immediately offer a warning, but instead observed Zoroya's behavior until the shadow was almost upon him and Zoroya still hadn't reacted before he decided to speak up.
But just before he was about to send a telepathic message to Zoroya, the little fox unexpectedly sent a telepathic message to him through the necromancer pact:
"Master, a ghost is coming this way. Let's hold back and lure it over."
"Good, so you've already figured it out. Did you realize the opponent was using Ghost Technique and plan to strike back?" Lin Ye thought with satisfaction.
The next instant, the eerie shadow suddenly accelerated and crashed directly into Zoroya.
A bizarre scene unfolded!
The shadowy figure's "Shadow Sneak" passed right through Zoroa without any effect, leaving nothing behind, and finally transformed into a Pokémon shaped like a small jack-o'-lantern.
"Pumpkin spirit! I never expected Zoroa's first opponent to be this!"
But the next moment, Lin Ye realized he was wrong, because the pumpkin spirit in front of him was not even qualified to be his opponent, Zorua.
The latter reacted very quickly. The moment the shadow formed by the pumpkin spirit passed through its body, it had already swayed and transformed into a silver light that shot out.
When the Pumpkin Spirit's sneak attack failed and he was still looking back in a daze, Zoroah had already teleported close, with a spiral-shaped air shield in front of him, and at a very tricky angle.
The spiraling gas shield churned violently, creating swirling patterns in the surrounding ghostly mist and even the air itself.
"Swallow Returns!"
This is a Flying-type move, and it's extremely effective against the Kusanagi Ghost's Pumpkin Spirit, knocking it down in one hit and leaving it struggling to get up.
The latter couldn't understand why this move, which was the most effective on Mount Sagami, was useless against Zoroa.
In its previous observations, this guy clearly also exuded a ghostly aura, so it should have been very effective.
Little did it know, the combination of attributes of the Washi Zorua was unprecedented—a combination of Ghost!
Let alone this one, even some of the more powerful wild Pokémon or the best human trainers would inevitably stumble upon it.
Ghost-type moves disable Fighting moves that Normal-type moves fear, while Normal-type moves are immune to Ghost-type moves that are supposed to be their weaknesses. This combination is excellent.
Furthermore, Zoroar possesses the "Illusion" ability, which can be used to confuse opponents. Once it grows stronger, it will definitely become a nightmare for its rivals.
After the pumpkin spirit fell and struggled for a few moments without getting up, Lin Ye took the opportunity to walk over quickly, cast a simple spell, and condensed a ball of black energy from its body.
These black energy spots were very small and weak, just like the power the pumpkin spirit had just displayed.
But as soon as it was pulled out, the latter, which still had some strength, instantly lost all its strength and collapsed completely.
Lin Ye flicked his finger, sending the black energy spot onto Soroya. It was immediately absorbed by the latter, and its energy fluctuations increased slightly.
Lin Ye was overjoyed and said, "I was right! Necromancy really can extract the original power of Ghost Pokémon."
This way, I can greatly accelerate the growth rate of Ghost Pokémon I raise.
Generally speaking, Ghost Pokémon can absorb the resentment and life energy of other Pokémon or humans to replenish themselves, or directly absorb the soul power of other Ghost Pokémon.
However, this conversion efficiency is not high; otherwise, Ghost Pokémon would have already started a chaotic battle like a poisonous insect.
However, the necromancy that Lin Ye brought from the magical world can be applied to ghost Pokémon, efficiently refining their soul power. This is practically like giving his Pokémon a training cheat code.
The pumpkin spirit in front of them not only had poor judgment and chose the wrong opponent, but also had a very weak energy level.
The soul power it possessed was nothing more than a snack to Zorua.
Therefore, Lin Ye was only trying this method on it and did not intend to take advantage of it completely.
The pumpkin spirit felt that it had only suffered some physical damage, and its essence had not been lost at all. After lying on the spot for a while, it floated up unsteadily and begged for mercy from Zoroa.
Solomon didn't speak, but looked at Lin Ye, who stepped forward and squatted down beside the pumpkin spirit, saying:
"I'll ask you a few questions. If your answers satisfy me, I might spare you."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely answer all your questions... Hey? How can you understand me?"
This isn't right! This is truly bizarre, but it seems like I'm the ghost here!
