Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Lu An shook his head, no longer thinking about these things.

Whether or not there are any traces of the firebird in this ruin is irrelevant to the current situation.

He only needs to remember this point, and when he goes out, he can tell Adu and let Adu investigate.

His current task is to quickly find the first group and uncover the hidden Team Rocket.

Having figured this out, Lu An stopped lingering and quickly moved forward with Umbreon.

......

At the forefront, the first group led by Ohno had already ventured deep into the ruins.

They had already seen many Pokémon they rarely saw on the road, and even encountered a wild Bulbasaur.

Two members even got into a fight over the right to capture Bulbasaur, which frightened Bulbasaur so much that it ran away.

Seeing the somewhat tense atmosphere in the group due to the recent incident, Ohno knew he needed to do something to ease the tension.

So he quietly made a hand gesture towards the shadows.

There lurks a dream monster of his, which will pretend to be a ghost and scare people whenever it sees his gesture.

However, even after making the hand gestures three times, Ohno still couldn't find any trace of the ghost.

Just as Ohno was wondering where his Misdreavus had gone, the only girl in the group suddenly screamed:

"Ghost!"

Ohno was very satisfied; it seemed his Misdreavus had finally made its move.

Ohno turned his head and saw that a purple mist had unknowingly enveloped them.

Beside them, Pokémon skeletons, all bones and no flesh, were walking unsteadily.

The skeletons of Koala, Farfetch'd, and Meow waddle along, their bones even touching each other and making a "clattering" sound.

They looked just like zombies.

Ohno was startled. It was scary enough, but when did his dream monster start controlling corpses?

He simply had the dream demon hide in the shadows, occasionally uttering strange words or blowing eerie winds on the back of people's necks.

The sight of the horde of corpses before him, their sanity plummeting, was completely outside his plan!

"Xiao Lin, what's wrong? Xiao Lin, don't scare me!"

Just then, the girl's frightened voice rang out again, and Ohno glanced over.

The girl's boyfriend, a guy named Xiao Lin, was walking step by step towards the group of corpses, his eyes vacant and his steps unsteady.

However, no matter how the girl tried to pull him away, Xiao Lin resolutely headed towards the group of corpses.

"Let him go!"

With a loud roar, Da Ye slapped the girl's hand, separating her from Xiao Lin.

"Dream Fairy! Dream Fairy! Stop playing around! Did you do this, Dream Fairy?!"

Ohno shouted loudly, his voice filled with urgency.

However, the usually well-behaved and adorable dream demon seemed not to hear his voice and did not appear for a long time.

Ohno was sweating profusely. Although he didn't know what was wrong with his dream monster, they were afraid that they had really encountered a ghost!

"Everyone, turn on your flashlights and head back the way you came!"

But before he could finish speaking, the other members, who also realized something was wrong, cried out in a sob, "We can't go back! There are corpses everywhere ahead!"

A strange purple mist was spreading throughout the surrounding space.

Amidst the purple smoke, many skeleton Pokémon stood on their way back, their eyes now empty bones, staring blankly at them.

Can not go back!

Suddenly, Ohno saw the strange purple smoke begin to climb up the girl's body.

"Uh......"

Immediately, the girl's body began to twist strangely, and she made unknown sounds, appearing as if she were being controlled.

Just as Ohno was panicking and didn't know what to do, a sharp shout came from behind the purple smoke:

"Mooncloth, roar loudly!"

"Ee~ Cloth!"

A roar was heard, and the previously calm yet terrifying purple smoke suddenly began to churn violently.

It's like putting a lump of cold water into a molten fire and it boils instantly.

The boiling purple smoke quickly subsided, and the girl and Xiao Lin, who had been under mental control, immediately collapsed to the ground.

Many Pokémon skeletons also crashed down with a clatter.

Ohno and the others quickly helped the two unconscious people up.

A figure flashed past them quickly, and Ohno could barely make out its appearance.

It could only be vaguely seen that there seemed to be several halos around its body.

The figure swiftly lunged into the depths of the ruins; the purple smoke had also fled from that direction.

"Hey, are you guys alright?"

Just then, a sound came from behind.

Unlike before, this time the sound was very noisy, seemingly involving a large number of people, and accompanied by familiar voices.

Ohno turned around in surprise: "Horio!"

The eleven people from the second and third groups were seen running quickly toward the six people from Ohno.

Because the second group was not as fast as the third group, they had just met up.

"What happened? I think I just heard you shouting."

Before Horio could finish speaking, the first group of girls who had regained consciousness screamed:

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost! Run! There really is a ghost in these ruins!"

Horio scoffed: "There are no ghosts in these ruins. You must have been scared by the president's dream monster, right, president?"

However, when Horio turned to look at Ohno, seeking his approval, he found Ohno looking shaken and was immediately puzzled:

"President?"

With over a dozen people watching him, Ohno forced himself to calm down and swallowed hard.

"Notify the other teams still behind that the expedition is canceled."

Horio exclaimed in shock, "President, the expedition has only just begun! Why has it been canceled?"

Muto, the mole within the battle club, glanced around at his surroundings and suddenly frowned:

"Why are there so many skeletons here?"

After Muto said that, everyone suddenly realized that the surrounding area was full of Pokémon skeletons.

They completely surrounded the six people in the first group!

Ohno forced himself to remain calm:

"This is no joke, nor is it a simple adventure. There really are ghosts here. Just now, a member of our team was controlled by a ghost."

"These skeletons on the ground are also controlled by ghosts. They were originally going to surround us, but a Pokémon helped us out."

"Do ghosts really exist? They can even control corpses?"

The members of the second and third groups were stunned by Ohno's brief but informative words.

Muto asked in confusion, "Rescue? Did you see what that Pokémon looked like? Is it a Pokémon with a trainer?"

Ohno shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that it let out a roar, and then the ghostly purple smoke disappeared."

"What about the Pokémon that came to your rescue?"

Ohno reached his hand into the ruins: "It seems to have gone in there, and the ghost is in there too..."

Da Ye stopped mid-sentence, realizing that his dream monster hadn't appeared yet.

Could it still be inside the ruins?

Thinking of this, Ohno felt both fear and worry for the dream demon.

So he stood up and looked at Horio and the club officers of Group Two:

"You take the members of the first team and leave the ruins immediately, then call the police."

"My dream monster is still missing, and it's very likely still being controlled by that ghost. I must find it."

After saying that, Ohno ran alone into the ruins.

"Hey, Ohno!"
