Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

The girl in the miniskirt took out two Poké Balls from her waist and threw them skillfully. With a flash of dazzling red light, two high-level Pokémon appeared in the room.

She didn't pay much attention to the two Pokémon she was training, but instead, she lazily sat down in a comfortable chair without caring about her appearance. She leaned back slightly, wanting to relax her tired body.

The girl casually crossed her legs again, stretched out her arms, and yawned loudly.

"Finally, I don't have to pay attention to that young master. He obviously relies on his family, but he acts like he is so great. I will vomit if I follow him again. Fortunately, the master took action in advance, so I can be liberated earlier." The girl complained to herself.

At this moment, in this quiet training room, she just wanted to immerse herself in her own little world and enjoy this rare tranquility and comfort.

However, peace was only a precursor to danger, and the crisis had already befallen her two Pokémon.

Accompanied by a "whoosh" sound and a flash of cold light, a shocking line of blood inexplicably appeared in their throats.

The strange blood lines seemed like the mark of fate, mercilessly announcing the arrival of death. The two poor Pokémon swayed a few times before falling limply to the ground, closing their eyes forever and bidding farewell to this world.

"what!"

The girl screamed, and her originally beautiful face turned extremely pale. She stood up in horror and ran towards the door of the training room.

Due to her inner panic, her steps seemed a little unsteady and she almost fell to the ground.

As she was about to approach the door of the training room, a figure mysteriously emerged from her shadow.

Then, a cold and powerful hand tightly grasped her neck from behind and slowly dragged her back.

The girl struggled to look at the door that was so close in front of her, and slowly stretched her hand forward, as if wanting to touch the hope that was not too far away.

"Woooo..."

She desperately tried to run forward to escape, but her body moved backwards completely out of control, further and further away from the door.

My throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I could only whimper. A strong feeling of suffocation came over me, and my vision began to become gradually blurred...

Feng grabbed the girl's neck with one hand, dragged her backwards, and then threw her hard.

The girl suddenly flew out and fell heavily to the ground. Her white and smooth legs were bruised by the ground, and her long, black and smooth hair was also scattered and messy.

She kept coughing and tried to stand up with her hands.

The girl looked up and saw a handsome boy with a fair face but cold eyes looking down at her, with a "magic sword" emitting a bloody smell beside him.

Feng looked at the girl indifferently and said, "I ask, you answer. Don't try to be clever, or you will suffer the consequences. Nod if you understand."

The girl widened her eyes and was terrified, but intimidated by Feng's terrifying strength just now, she nodded obediently.

"Tell me all about your organization."

"I...we...ah!"

Hearing Feng's words, the girl's eyes subconsciously dodged for a moment, and she wanted to make up some lies, but then she saw a terrible scene, which scared her almost to death.

Feng's handsome face suddenly became hideous, as if he were wearing a mask from hell. His previously cold eyes now radiated a dangerous, devouring light, as if he wanted to devour the girl's flesh and blood.

This is a combination of the skills Scary Face + Staring, which has finally come in handy since I learned it.

"Say!"

"Okay, I'll tell you, please forgive me, wuwu..." The girl's heart was completely broken and she actually started crying.

After a moment, she calmed down a bit, tears streaking her face as she began to tell her story. "I...we were brought from the orphanage by Master Huanyao, and have been working for him ever since. Our current mission is to find high-quality Pokémon and gym leader-level Pokémon for him."

Phantom Demon? The Alliance's wanted criminal? I'd seen him on TV in Kaina City before, but I didn't expect to see him on a ship. Perhaps he was planning to start a new crime spree in a different area.

No, it has already started.

"What happens after we find it?"

"Once they are found, Master Illusion's Pokémon will take action, quietly killing them in a hidden place and taking their Pokémon."

No wonder the Dream Demon didn't kill me directly. It turned out that his target was Pokémon. Once something happened to him, it would be easy for Pokémon to jump out and make a big fuss, causing a commotion.

"What does the Phantom Monster want these Pokémon for?" Feng asked the most important question.

The girl coughed twice due to the pain in her throat. "Ahem... His Dream Demon seems to be able to increase its strength by absorbing souls. The higher the Pokémon's aptitude, the better the effect."

What?! You can improve your strength like this!

We know that Ghost-type Pokémon enjoy absorbing souls, but what happens after absorbing souls? What effects do different "quality" souls have?

The higher the aptitude of a Pokémon, the stronger its perception of attribute energy. Does that mean its soul is more "delicious"?

Feng was a little shocked. It seemed that the magic of this world far exceeded his imagination. What was shown in the original book was just the tip of the iceberg, and even in that tip, there were many things that were not explained clearly.

Why do humans in anime have greater strength and defense than Pokémon? Why do Legendary Beasts fluctuate in strength and weakness? Why are the Eight Masters so poor at fighting? And there are countless other absurdities about Ash and Pikachu.

It's too unscientific, no, too magical.

Back to the topic, Feng continued to ask about the girl in the miniskirt.

"How many Pokémon does Phantom have now? What's their strength?"

"A quasi-king-level Dream Demon, a gym leader-level Gengar, a Cursed Doll and another Dream Demon, as well as a recently captured elite-level Lamp Ghost. By the way, he himself is also quite strange. It seems that he can follow ghost-type Pokémon into the shadows, just like you..." The girl suddenly thought of something and looked at Feng in horror, moving her body backwards, trying to get away from him.

Can a phantom monster even slip into a shadow? How did he overcome the dissipation of his life force? This near-eleven-level ghost-type trainer is definitely quite skilled.

Feng approached the girl, squatted down, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly: "Don't be afraid, continue to answer my next questions - how many people are there in total? Who are they? Also, the whereabouts of the phantom monster, how many good things does he have, and your contact time..."

"Except for Lord Huan Yao, we still have five people, namely..."

After obtaining all the information he wanted to know, Feng stood up, took a few steps back, and looked at the girl in front of him, as if thinking about how to deal with her.

The girl knew that this was a life-or-death situation. She gritted her teeth, endured the waves of severe pain in her body, propped herself up, stood up with difficulty, and staggered to Feng.

She forced a flattering smile on her face, cast a wink at Feng, and gently pulled down her collar, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.

"As long as you spare my life, you can do whatever you want to me. From today on, you are my new master~" the girl said in a gentle tone, with a hint of pleading and fear in her eyes.

However, facing the young, beautiful, pitiful, and powerless weak girl in front of him, Feng's expression did not change at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a smile...

The girl's affected expression suddenly froze.
