I caught a Pokémon.

Chapter 944 Xia Caichen

(This chapter may cause discomfort to some people, please watch with caution)
After a long while, when Gengar returned to the library again, in addition to the ghost girl, there were three other almost transparent ghosts following it.

Two of them were the male owner of the mansion seen in the huge painting at the stairs, the other one was the maid they saw in the room before, and the last one should be the female owner whose face could not be seen clearly in the family portrait.

Looking at her now, she is very young and beautiful. With such a face, it is no wonder that she gave birth to such a beautiful daughter like the ghost girl.

At this point, the five people who originally lived in the mansion have all turned into ghosts.

They were either standing or floating in the library, and at first glance they were emitting a faint blue light, which made this western-style building truly a haunted house.

However, compared with the ghost girl and the ghost butler's bodies that were almost solidified, the three newly formed ghost bodies at this time looked too light, as if they would be blown away at any time by a light breeze.

Moreover, their eyes were rather dull and it looked like they couldn't even speak, as if... they were just a few followers who only knew how to follow behind them.

"What's going on?" Xiaoyao was a little confused, "Why do they look... weird?"

Gengar shook his head. "I can't help it. The energy contained in their bodies is too weak. In order not to destroy their sanity and memory, I can only use a gentle method to help them take shape. Although this is very safe, the side effect is that they will become very fragile and need a long time to absorb the surrounding energy before they can slowly become normal."

In fact, what Geng Gui calls normal is the ability to speak and move freely.

But for a soul, this is already a huge threshold.

You know, most of the ghosts in other places are just low-level souls without thoughts. They are afraid of sunlight and hide in various dark corners. They only know to wander around the place where they died. They basically have no consciousness. Over the long years, they either wait to slowly die or wait for extremely accidental changes.

Compared to them, the ghost girl's parents and maid were already very lucky.

At least because of the gloomy environment here, they did not slowly dissipate over time during this year, but retained a weak energy and parasitized in the hanging paintings. They have survived until now, and finally met Xia You's Gengar, and had the possibility of becoming a real ghost.

Fortunately, if there were no such conditions, no matter how powerful Gengar was, it would be impossible to turn the disappeared people into ghosts out of thin air.

"How long will it take exactly?" Xia You also turned to look at Gengar.

Gengar stretched out his short, fat fingers and calculated: "Probably at least two or three months."

"Two or three months..."

Hearing Geng Gui's answer, Xia You nodded.

For these ghosts, once they are formed, time is no longer that important. Even if it takes a few more months or even years, I believe the ghost girl will continue to wait.

At the side, the ghost girl hugged the doll in her arms tightly, floated in front of Xia You, and said sincerely: "Thank you so much, I'm sorry for what I did before."

Xia You smiled at her cheerfully, "I hope you won't attack trainers again in the future."

"That's for sure." The ghost girl also laughed, "Mom, Dad, and Ms. Charles have become ghosts like us. We no longer need to absorb the vitality of trainers to help them maintain their soul form."

"That's right." Seeing her thinking so, Xia You was also relieved. "On the contrary, because of the special location of this mansion, there will definitely be lost trainers coming here to stay in the future, so you must hide your identities well. Don't let others disturb your hard-earned peaceful life, and don't cause any more trouble."

Xia You glanced over and saw that the ghost girl and the ghost butler both nodded slightly, knowing that they had heard what he said.

Then, there is only one last thing left...

"Don't worry, I will make Hades pay the price he deserves."

……

Late at night, three o'clock.

After dealing with these ghost matters, the night sky outside had reached its darkest time of the day.

Even those Pokémon that were active late at night had gone to bed at this time. The entire forest was silent, and not a single sound could be heard.

Both Xiaoyao and Yami were so sleepy and tired that they could hardly open their eyes.

In order to avoid accidentally sleeping until the afternoon tomorrow and affecting their journey, at Xia You's urging, the two had to return to the guest room they had stayed in before to rest and replenish their energy.

For Xia You, after all, there was an outsider like Yami, and because there would be no more ghosts attacking them and he didn't need to protect them anymore, he didn't continue to stay in the same room with Xiaoyao and the others, but took his luggage to the next room.

I have to admit that the mansion, which had been restored to its original appearance, was too dilapidated to allow for a peaceful sleep.

Seeing this, Xia You shook his head and smiled bitterly, and could only take out his bedding and simply spread it out.

Just when he had finished packing, the ghost girl came uninvited and floated in from behind the door.

Xia You was naturally surprised by her sudden appearance.

"Anything else?"

While speaking, he couldn't help but secretly calculate in his mind whether he had missed anything and failed to make any arrangements.

Otherwise, why would the ghost girl come to the door at this time when everything had already been discussed?

At this time, the ghost girl had floated directly in front of Xia You.

This also made Xia You, who had just changed into pajamas, subconsciously tidy up her clothes. She always felt that it would be embarrassing to dress like this in front of a member of the opposite sex whom she had just met, even if it was a ghost.

Although she has turned into a ghost and sometimes loses control, her advanced form allows the ghost girl to still retain the mentality and thinking of her human self. This also made her very shy after seeing Xia You's appearance.

This naturally made Xia You very strange.

You know, when the ghost girl attacked those trainers before, it was almost always when they were asleep or just fell asleep. Therefore, no matter whether they are male or female, they should be accustomed to their bedtime attire. Why would she behave like this now?
Before Xia You could think about it, the ghost girl spoke up. "Actually, you said one thing wrong before."

"Did I say something wrong?" Xia You was stunned when she heard her words, and asked quickly, "What is it?"

The ghost girl suddenly became more shy: "In fact, I can feel that you are different from others. You have a strong power in your body, and a strong vitality and energy, which is several times or even dozens of times stronger than those trainers. It is very tempting, so I attacked you... Of course, I don’t mean to really eat you, but I want to absorb all the vitality in your body to make myself stronger!"

It turned out to be like this...

Xia You suddenly understood and realized that the power that the ghost girl was talking about should be the blessing that the King of Phoenix gave him before, or even the blessing of the God of the Sea that he received in the Whirlpool Islands.

It was this unusualness that was noticed by the ghost girl, causing her to show a kind of "fanaticism" towards Xia You.

After thinking for a while, Xia You couldn't help but ask: "Actually, I'm also very curious, how do you do this absorption of vitality?"

Seeing that Xia You was actually curious about this, the ghost girl smiled, her hair flying, and then a ball of thick purple mist flew out of her body, like several pairs of hands, wrapping around Xia You.

Xia You did not resist and let the purple mist entangle him. The next second, he felt a suction force coming, as if trying to suck something out of his body!

He instinctively wanted to resist, and just as the thought came to his mind, the power in his body actually moved on its own. Almost instantly, the purple mist that came into contact with Xia You made a "sizzling" sound, as if burned by something hot, and dissipated instantly!

This scene not only surprised Xia You, but also the ghost girl's face became very shocked.

"What...what the hell is going on?"

She looked at the melting purple fog, and the ghost girl didn't understand what was happening at all!
After being stunned for a moment, Xia You seemed to understand something.

It can only be said that no matter whether it is the power of the King of Phoenix or the power of Lugia, the God of the Sea, these two forces have long been fully integrated with himself and changed his physique. And wanting to absorb them with the power of a mere human ghost is really overestimating one's own abilities and may even backfire.

After figuring this out, he couldn't help but shake his head at the ghost girl.

"Well, it seems that the power in my body is too strong for you to bear."

The ghost girl naturally didn’t know what Xia You had experienced, but through this incident, she also realized that this man was not only powerful in Pokémon, but he himself was also extraordinary!
I didn't make the wrong decision...

Thinking of this, she floated closer to Xia You again, and said slowly: "Now, according to the previous agreement, I will pay the reward in advance."

"Huh?" Xia You didn't react at first after hearing this, but when the ghost girl fell towards him, he realized something belatedly, "Huh!??? Wait——!"

……

Xia You used a method that is very common in both human and animal societies to inject his own life essence into the ghost girl's body.

Although it was passive, it gave Xia You a brand new experience and also unlocked an achievement that ordinary people could not achieve.

Of course, this kind of injection is not to transfer his own power of Ho-Oh and Lugia to the ghost girl, but to release something that has been accumulated in the body for a long time in this way.

You know what, maybe it’s because I haven’t done this kind of thing for a while, but after a night of it, I felt really refreshed, and all the accumulated stress was gone!
With Xia You's help, the ghost girl also gained powerful life energy that she had never had before!
For her, this is undoubtedly a super tonic that takes a long time to be absorbed completely!
I believe that after absorbing these energies, her strength will also make a huge leap. Then, whether it is guarding this mansion, protecting other ghost family members, or fighting against powerful Pokémon, it will be more than enough.

It can even be foreseen that when that time comes, even the Ghost-type Pokémon and Dark-type Pokémon that can restrain her may not be able to defeat her.

This time, I can really be said to have helped to the utmost.

Of course, the rewards were pretty... impressive.

After resting for a few hours, around nine or ten o'clock in the morning, Xia You walked out of the room and woke up Xiaoyao and Yami who were still sleeping.

In fact, these two people didn’t sleep well last night.

Not only was the bed hard, but there was also a musty smell in the room, and there was a draft, so even though they were very sleepy, they tossed and turned in bed for a long time before they fell into a drowsy sleep.

Even if they fell asleep, they did not sleep soundly and were awakened several times.

They didn't even know if it was because of the existence of ghosts, but that night they could always hear the ghost girl's intermittent and suppressed sobbing.

Although they had reached a consensus with these ghosts and knew that they would not harm them, hearing such sounds still made them feel creepy.

I could only sigh in my heart - it is indeed a ghost's home, so scary, just like a haunted house!
But no matter what, the night was finally spent safely.

What’s more surprising is that compared to Xia You and Xiao Yao’s cooking skills, Ya Mi is actually very good at cooking. At breakfast, she showed off her skills to the two of them and used limited ingredients to make a delicious thick soup for them!
After drinking a bowl of thick soup, not only did Xia You feel that the energy lost last night was instantly replenished, but Xiaoyao also felt that the fatigue of the whole night had all disappeared at this moment!

This also made the two of them look at Ya Mi with a new respect, and they all gave her a thumbs up!
Delicious food is always the best tonic for mankind!

It seems that Yami is not as useless as she seems...

In an instant, Xia You and Xiao Yao looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds.

If she...

The two exchanged glances and then nodded.

After everything was packed up, Xia You and the other two called out the ghost girl again in the lobby of the mansion.

What surprised Xiaoyao and Yami was that after just a few hours of not seeing each other, the ghost girl in front of them actually showed an amazing vitality!

Not only does she look more beautiful, but her body also looks just like a real person!
Strange, how is this done!?

Could it be that after untying her knot, seeing her parents transformed into ghosts is also a kind of evolution for her! ?
