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

"Lamp Ghost, no... uh!"

Before the phantom demon had time to feel sad about the death of the lamp ghost, his body was suddenly entangled by the black substances in the shadows. They seemed to have life and wrapped him tightly.

In the blink of an eye, the phantom demon's body dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye and gradually lost its vitality.

"What's wrong with you? Oh no, get out of the shadow quickly."

Feng initially thought he was suffering some kind of backlash, but then he realized it was just the shadow draining his life force. Feng still had a lot to ask him; he couldn't just let him die. He quickly rushed over, grabbed his clothes, and rushed out of the shadows.

However, after coming out, the phantom demon was already limp and dying.

His eyes were cloudy, his breathing was weak, and the deathly aura that permeated him had overwhelmed the remaining vitality. He was already weak, and with this delay, even if he could be revived, he would only be a vegetable in the future.

Looking at this quasi-King-level trainer who met a miserable end, Feng's face was indifferent. His gaze stayed on the Phantom Demon silently, as if he was thinking about something.

The fact that Huan Yao has fallen into his current situation is naturally due to Feng’s design.

He first learned from the miniskirt girl the residence and some living habits of the suit boy and the butler. Then he wrote a blood letter and placed it in the butler's room to guide the butler to find the phantom demon.

It was an indisputable fact that the phantom demon had killed the young man in the suit. Whenever the two met, a conflict was inevitable. Even if the phantom demon hadn't escaped in time and had been killed or captured by the butler, Feng's plan would have been a success.

What's more, Feng had already sneaked into the shadows under the Phantom Demon's balcony before the butler arrived, watching the progress of the matter with his own eyes to ensure that everything was safe.

It can be said that when this plan was born in Feng's mind, Huan Yao was already dead, but the time and method were still uncertain.

The phantom monster in front of him was seriously injured and difficult to treat. He couldn't even speak and was completely useless.

Feng slowly reached out and grabbed his neck, then with a little force, the Alliance wanted criminal who had been roaming around Hoenn for many years was sentenced to death.

"Quasi-King? Nothing more than that."

……

After defeating the powerful enemy, Feng returned to the relatively safe training room and took out the spoils he had found from the phantom monster one by one.

As a quasi-elite trainer and the leader of a small group, and having robbed some gym leader-level trainers, the wealth possessed by Phantom can be said to be enormous.

He has a total of four space bracelets:

The first bracelet contained cash and bank cards.

The piles of Alliance Coins were like a small hill emitting golden light, standing quietly in the center of the space bracelet. It was even high enough for a person to dive in and swim.

Next to this "gold mountain" is a thick bundle of bank cards, the amount stored in which is probably even more than the cash in front of you.

Feng made a rough estimate and found that there were at least more than 10 million Alliance coins in cash here. Now he would not have to worry about lack of money for school in the future.

The second bracelet contains some elf supplies.

Energy blocks, Pokémon food, two skill discs, several mega stones, a key stone and three permanent Pokémon items.

The mega stones include Frostblade, Lightning Dragon and Houndoom; the skill discs include Shadow Ball and Shadow Claw; the permanent items include Spell Talisman, Cleansing Incense and a suit of armor.

Feng took out the worn dark armor and concentrated on opening the attribute panel.

"This is actually the Armor of Curse! It is an important item that can allow Tan Shi to evolve into the Blue Flame Blade Demon." Feng was surprised.

I don't know where Phantom got it from, but since he specializes in ghost-type Pokémon, he should be able to see the curse on the armor and know how extraordinary it is.

Although the third bracelet contained very few items, it was indeed the most valuable. It contained a wealth of information, including an ancient book on ghost-related secrets and several notes on phantom demons.

As for the fourth bracelet, Feng just put his mind into it and frowned unconsciously...

The scene inside was hard to accept even for Feng, who had experienced many bloody battles.

It is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Feng endured the discomfort and browsed to identify the bodies inside. He saw several familiar figures: the young man in a suit, the double-axe dragon, the bearded uncle in the hot pot restaurant, the soul-catching eyes and his trainer...

There are also some trainers who have appeared in the competition here, but they have all lost their lives.

Feng gradually tightened his grip on the space bracelet, and a slight fluctuation arose in his heart.

Pokémon has given people the longest-lasting companionship and the most precious friendship, but it has also allowed some people with ulterior motives to gain powerful strength.

When a powerful trainer robs and kills, it is far more terrifying than a gangster with a sharp knife, and it is also more difficult to subdue.

In this situation, dark organizations, Pokémon hunters, and wanted criminals emerge one after another. Crisis is always around, and if you are not careful, you will become someone else's food.

Only with strong personal strength can one overcome danger after danger; survival is the most important thing...

Taking a deep breath, Feng slowly collected his thoughts and took out the ancient book from his space bracelet.

It feels heavy in the hand, and the cover feels rough and a bit old. It looks dark red overall, with some wear and tear on the cover, and the words "Book of Curses" are written crookedly in the middle.

It's an evil book at first glance.

Feng opened the "Cursed Book." The pages were slightly yellowed, densely packed with images and text on the somewhat stiff paper. The book was filled with strange symbols and patterns. Staring at them for a long time would cause strange visions. Closing the book, the visions naturally disappeared.

"This book is so weird..." Feng thought to himself.

After a quick glance, Feng saw a wide variety of ghost-related secrets, including methods for opening the underworld, sacrificing lives, inflicting curses, summoning the undead, and even methods for increasing strength. Most of them were filled with strangeness and blood, and the required materials were also very strange.

It is known that there is a Dark Edge in the Pokémon world. Pokémon such as Candelaria and Noctilucent can open the Underworld, and it seems that it is not the same place as Giratina's reversed world. The original work does not describe this in much detail.

The undead has appeared in anime more than once. Once, it even transformed into a little girl and almost harmed Satoshi and his friends who were traveling in Sinnoh.

Pokémon's abilities aren't limited to traits and skills; there are many other magical powers, which are occasionally mentioned in the Pokémon Encyclopedia.

For example, ghost-type Pokémon can become invisible, hide in shadows, and communicate with the underworld; unknown totems have the strange ability to travel through space and time, and even the power of bonds.

According to the encyclopedia, Aegisblade has an ability called "psychic power". The powerful psychic power can even allow it to control people and Pokémon. In ancient times, some Aegisblade even used this to build a powerful kingdom.

Feng's Shield Sword Monster has not yet demonstrated such an ability, perhaps because its level is not high enough or it has not lived long enough. I feel that it can be developed in the future, and it will be a powerful means.

As for the principles behind these abilities, why they exist, and whether they are scientific or not, we can only ask Arceus.
