Pokémon: A Strong Man from the Slums

"All new recruits who are still alive, gather in the square within ten minutes!"

At around six o'clock in the morning of the eighth day, a loudspeaker broadcast rang out throughout the entire Flare Team's base, waking up many people who were still in their sweet dreams.

"Is it time? Nidorino, let's go!"

Wang Chen immediately got up from the bed, put away Nidorino with the Poké Ball, and rushed to the square.

"I wonder what the rules are for this trial? Or are there no rules at all?"

"I believe everyone has a rough idea of ​​what Team Flare is like. Anyway, this trial will definitely not be a game, it will definitely be extremely cruel."

"Humph! Don't let me meet that kid named Wang Chen in the trial, or I will make him wish he were dead."

When Wang Chen arrived at the square, a lot of people arrived soon after, and the whole square was filled with whispers.

Some are afraid of this trial, some are looking forward to it, and some want to take revenge on others through this trial.

The reactions of the crowd were very different.

Soon, a greasy middle-aged man walked up to the platform in the center of the square. This was the man they saw when they first arrived at the Flare Team base.

"New recruits, my name is Kevin, and I will announce the rules of this new recruit trial."

When Kevin said this, a cruel smile appeared on his face, which was captured by Wang Chen.

"It seems that this trial may be beyond imagination." Wang Chen thought to himself.

Ignoring the confused looks from the audience, Kevin continued to announce: "It's time to show up, my little ghost cuties!"

"Ghost? What does that mean?"

"How can a ghost be cute?"

Everyone in the audience was very confused, but it didn't take long for them to understand what was going on.

For every surviving recruit at this time, a ghost-type elf appeared beside him.

A ghost with fire element "Candlelight Spirit" appeared beside Wang Chen.

"Candle... Candle Light Spirit? Are they going to..."

A terrible idea came to Wang Chen's mind.

"Little ghost babies, possess these people!" Kevin said coldly.

Ahhh! ! !

After receiving the order, these ghost elves squeezed into the bodies of the crowd.

No, to be exact, it is in the soul.

Their souls were suddenly squeezed in by ghost-type elves. Many people screamed in pain, and some were already twitching on the ground in pain.

"Fuck! It's just what I thought!"

Wang Chen was also extremely painful at this time because a candlelight spirit also lived in his soul.

Fortunately, Wang Chen is a person with super powers, and the soul power of the fusion of his two souls is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

This resulted in him being in pain, but much better off than other ordinary people.

"No, we can't do this. If a ghost-type elf lives in a person's soul, it will inevitably devour the soul's power. Team Flare is going to use the human soul to feed the ghost-type elf!

"I must find a way to drive this candlelight spirit out! Use your superpowers to drive it away for me!" Wang Chen shouted in his heart.

If you look closely, you will find that the blue light in Wang Chen's eyes is flashing wildly at this moment, and the superpowers in his body are also trying their best to drive away the candlelight spirit.

Within Wang Chen's soul, the superpowers were indeed trying their best to drive away the uninvited guests, but unfortunately, this little bit of superpower was simply a drop in the bucket.

Wang Chen's superpower of driving force was like a breeze blowing over a child when it hit Candlelight Spirit. It was completely useless.

"Hiss! Damn it! My superpower is still too weak. If it were strong enough, I should be able to drive it away." Wang Chen thought unwillingly.

However, although he could not drive away the candlelight spirit in a short time, this uninvited guest was slowly absorbing his soul power.

But fortunately, I know that superpowers are indeed effective against Candlelight Spirit, but they are just too weak now.

"New recruits, let me tell you about the rules of the trial. The rule of this trial is that there are no rules!

The ghost elves in your soul will slowly devour your soul, so don't think about staying on the Trial Island, it's useless!

This trial is going to kill people! There are 105 of you now. The trial will end when only 25 people are left.

At that time, I will give the remaining 25 people drugs to suppress these ghost-type elves." Kevin said indifferently.

Hiss! Everyone gasped.

In fact, people who have survived to this day know that Team Flare must be extremely ruthless, but no one expected them to be this ruthless.

"Ghost-type elves live in the soul and need special drugs given by Team Flare to suppress them... Doesn't that mean that if you defect from Team Flare, your soul will be devoured by the ghost-type elves sooner or later?

No wonder we rarely hear about any traitors in Team Flare, and no wonder they can keep secrets so well. It turns out that it’s not just about infiltrating high-level officials and controlling public opinion.

There is also a method of letting ghost spirits enter the soul and controlling the antidote by oneself! "Wang Chen thought coldly.

Since the ghost elf has entered the soul, this thing has already happened. There is no point in Wang Chen complaining, so now he can only think carefully about the solution.

“Superpowers can play a certain role in repelling the ghost-type spirits in the body, so the next step is to improve my own superpowers.

I can also capture a psychic elf with powerful superpowers, and then connect it with my superpowers to drive away the candlelight spirit together.

Also... since the ghost-type Pokémon cultivated by Team Flare can enter the soul, it doesn't make sense that other ghost-type Pokémon can't. It would be a good idea to capture another ghost-type Pokémon and have it fight this Candlelight Pokémon inside my soul.

But two ghost-type elves are fighting in my soul, and I need a stronger superpower to keep my soul from collapsing!"

After thinking carefully for a while, Wang Chen realized that the key to driving away the candlelight spirit in his body was to improve his superpowers.

Only when your superpowers are improved can you truly control your own destiny.

"First, try to capture psychic elves on the Trial Island, and then connect psychic abilities. When you go out on missions in the future, you can also try to get some psychic training methods, and..."

Compared to the despair on the faces of others, Wang Chen calmly planned his future actions.

"New recruits! If you can get anything good on the island, you can also go to a base on the westernmost side of the island to exchange points for supplies.

That's all I have to say. Now I declare the trial officially begins!" Kevin said playfully.

As Kevin's voice fell, one psychic-type Pokémon after another that could teleport appeared on the field.

Then, a blue light surged across the square, and everyone was instantly moved to different locations on the Trial Island.
