I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

"He is no less capable than you, and he has more abundant vital energy than you, making him the most suitable person to be the main force."

"..."

This statement also shifted the focus of the superpowered individuals. Ghosts are yin, so they fear yang, which is why those who come here to exorcise ghosts are mostly men.

The woman's strength must be at least at Sabrina's level, so they found Granny Kiku, one of the Elite Four, who is even stronger than Gym Leader Sabrina.

However, exorcism is more suitable for men, and there just happens to be one right in front of us. In our joint operation just now, even if they react slowly.

You can also feel Yang Xiying's surging, fierce yang energy, as if this person has never cast a spell.

—Do such people really exist in this world?

PS: Update!

NO.187+188 I'm just the weakest here...

"With this gentleman's abilities, he can indeed be a great help to us. As long as Ziyuan Town can return to normal, it doesn't matter who is in charge."

After their gazes lingered on Yang Xiying for a moment, the group of superpowered individuals came to their senses, and then Ayu spoke first.

"But it depends on the opinion of the person involved. The next task is quite dangerous."

"It's alright. Everyone has to do their best in times like this. So, what should the main force do?"

Yang Xiying didn't care, because when he first came to Ziyuan Town, he was mentally prepared to handle the situation on his own.

It wouldn't be a problem to let him be the main force in the operation now, but I don't know what their understanding of a main force is.

“Our actions are still to help the locals break free from the control of evil spirits,” Ayu then began to explain the next phase of the operation.

"And the sooner the better, so we will basically split up next, with one group handling the grunts and another group handling the BOSS."

“Mr. Yang, we have all witnessed your strength. If we let you deal with the BOSS, we will have a better chance of winning.”

“I see,” Yang Xiying nodded subconsciously, then asked, “So you now know who the BOSS is?”

“We don’t know who’s behind this, but some things are clear,” Ayu replied, having just subdued the people around him.

They also subdued the evil spirits, so they interrogated them, but of course, the other side wouldn't obediently talk.

Therefore, their interrogations use superpowers to read minds, thus obtaining a wealth of information about the evil spirits.

They are all evil spirits that escaped from the spirit world, the place where all life returns after death!

After death, their spiritual manifestations—their souls—are guided there by spirit messengers.

It is said that the messenger of the spirit world is also a Pokémon. In any case, all souls after death will be baptized and sent to reincarnation.

If one has made great achievements in life, one might be able to obtain an official position there and live a better life in heaven.

If someone commits many evil deeds in life, they will become an evil spirit after death, and they will be sent to hell to receive all sorts of punishments.

They will only be sent into reincarnation and enter a new life when they are punished and tormented to the point that they no longer know who they are.

This new life basically starts from the bottom of the food chain, so the evil spirits also fear punishment and reincarnation.

They'll definitely try to escape if they get the chance, but recently the hell that imprisoned them has suddenly connected to the Lavender Town's Spirit Tower...

Although they didn't know why Hell was connected to the Anguish Tower in Lavender Town, they gained a new perspective through a certain event.

The evil spirits seized the opportunity to enter the real world and took over the bodies of the locals, forcibly leaving them in the world!

"Because the evil spirits have taken over the bodies of the locals, even Miss Sabrina and a group of superpowered prayer masters could not escape it."

“They will definitely clash with us, so we will be facing elite and BOSS-level enemies later.”

Ayu spoke.

"Our next action will prioritize fighting them. If we help them curse our allies first, it might increase our numbers."

"So our next target is the Anling Tower, where Miss Naz and a group of superpowered prayer masters were possessed."

“They could all be staying there now, and we’ve confirmed that based on our superpowers,” Ayu said.

“…I understand, let’s do it your way,” Yang Xiying nodded. The next target was the Anling Tower…

"There's no time to lose, you all should get moving," Granny Kikuko said at this moment. "Everyone should go to the Anling Tower to rescue those supernatural beings."

"I'll stay at the Pokémon House alone," Yezi said, eliciting surprised looks from everyone.

"...Grandma Kikuko, are you staying here alone?"

“I’m getting old, and my body can’t take any more strain,” Kikuko said, shaking her head. “I’d be a burden if I stayed with you guys.”

"Furthermore, the Ziyuan Town incident was an opportunity for you young people to show your skills, and it's good to hone your abilities."

"—Do you really want to rely on an old man like me who's halfway to his grave?"

"..." The group of people were speechless. They still had great faith in the power of Granny Kikuko, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

But they also knew that Grandma Kikuko was an eccentric person who didn't intend to change her mind once she made a decision.

Even this time, she wanted them to resolve the incident independently, and the reason was the classic example of elders giving younger generations experience.

"The current situation is far from being something I need to resolve, after all, you haven't encountered any truly insurmountable obstacles yet."

"When we meet, I will protect you even at the cost of my life. Come out, Gengar, Marowak."

As she spoke, Akiko released two more Pokémon, one of which was a Gengar of similar strength to the Gengar she had released first.

The other was a bipedal creature wearing the skull of some kind of organism, with its skin entirely black except for its white abdomen.

The white skull also had black markings on the front, and it held a bone club in its hand, but both ends were burning with flames.

"Huh? Marowak? Why does it look a little different from the ones we've seen before?" The Pokémon that Kikuko released aroused the confusion of the other psychics.

They recognized Gala Gala, but its body color was earthy yellow, and its bone clubs did not burn with that strange flame.

Could it be a shiny Pokémon? There are indeed Pokémon with slightly different colors.

"Because this is the Alola region form of Marowak."

At this moment, a voice suddenly drew everyone's attention. It was Yang Xiying, who recognized this Gara Gara, which had a different appearance.

"The Alola region...? That region made up of various different islands?" Although Marowak didn't recognize it, the Alola people did.

—It's a world-famous resort destination, but they don't have the opportunity to go.

"Yes, Pokémon are creatures that change with the local environment. The Marowak that moved there is an example of that."

Yang Xiying responded.

"--It changed from the original ground attribute to fire and ghost attributes."

"Oh, I see..." The group of superpowered individuals nodded blankly, looking as if they had learned something new.

"...Hehe, young people do know a lot, but it's not surprising that you can bring out Pokémon I've never seen before."

Kikuko let out a strange laugh. She was growing to admire Yang Xiying, who was knowledgeable and worldly, but she didn't delve any deeper into the topic.

"In short, these two Pokémon will be traveling with you from now on, while I and the remaining Pokémon will guard the Pokémon House."

"Let's get started now."

“We understand,” everyone was convinced by Kikuko, or rather, they all understood that there was no point in arguing about it here.

Moreover, a good knife should be used in a practical way, and there is really no need for Ms. Kikuko to solve the problem now. If we continue to rely on her, there is no point in me existing.

"It's still shrouded in thick fog..."

Yang Xiying, Ye Zi, and a group of superpowered individuals headed towards the location of Naz and the other supernatural beings, but were constantly blocked by thick fog along the way.

That's not all; the possessed person and the assimilated Ghost-type Pokémon might also jump out and take a bite.

However, this only delayed them a little, and soon they arrived at their destination—the Ziyuan Town Cemetery.

There are six or seven tall towers here, and it is said that each floor contains a large number of tombstones, which is why the yin energy is so heavy.

"There are indeed several powerful forces involved here..."

Upon arriving at the cemetery, they went straight to the foot of the memorial tower, as the place exuded an eerie atmosphere that was difficult to conceal.

Yang Xiying, who had practiced martial arts, could also sense that there were many extraordinary masters among them, just as A Yu and the others had said.

Sabrina is probably here, most likely at the very top, since that's where the power is strongest.

Sabrina is considered by many to be one of the strongest Pokémon Trainers in the Lavender Town and Saffron City area!

“Let’s go in,” A-Yu said at this moment, and everyone nodded and went in under A-Yu’s lead.

Anling Tower, 1F.

There are indeed a large number of tombstones here, all with inscriptions and portraits, which looks somewhat eerie.

"The Pokémon is trembling...?"

Upon arriving here, Yang Xiying sensed something was amiss, except for the Azure Flame Blade, the Ghost Abandoned Monkey, the Buddha, the Giant Vine, the Slow Hippo, and the 3D Dragon.

—The rest were trembling.

“…It’s probably because they came to this place,” Ye Zi replied at this moment, after all, this was the Anling Tower.

—The place where life rests after death.

Death is something that no life can avoid, and what happens after death is something they do not know.

The unknown is fear, so life fears death, but what it fears most is being separated from those close to it.

She realized this situation when she came here with her Pokémon last time, but Yezi had already done the necessary education and was more accepting of it.

But Pokémon are indeed more than ten years younger than her, so this is a time when people tend to overthink things.

So Leaf also spent some time giving Pokémon psychological counseling, and they will always be together and never be separated.

"That's it..."

Yang Xiying seemed to be deep in thought. Such places were indeed awe-inspiring. When she was a child living in the countryside, she was always terrified when passing by cemeteries.

"Then let's finish this quickly," so Yang Xiying didn't intend to delay and started climbing the tower directly.

"A quick victory? That's quite an arrogance."

However, just as the group was heading towards the stairwell, a black-haired man with short, shoulder-length hair and glasses, wearing a plaid shirt, blocked their way.

Its body was emaciated and its face was gloomy, clearly indicating that it was possessed by an evil spirit, and a large number of Ghost-type Pokémon were floating around it.

"Ready to fight!"

Yang Xiying's group acted decisively, with one of the superpowered individuals using the teleportation technique they had been planning for a long time!

Get behind the bespectacled man, take out your trainer card and activate the alternate dimension so the battle won't affect the surrounding environment!

The bespectacled man and a group of Ghost-type Pokémon blocking his way were all caught up in it, and he still looked somewhat bewildered.

"It seems that our high technology is indeed quite novel to you evil spirits."

Noticing the expression on the other side's face, one of the superpowered individuals chuckled, which made the bespectacled man somewhat annoyed!

"No matter how trendy it is, it can't change the fact that we solve problems with Pokémon! Go, Magneton!"

At that moment, he also released his Pokémon! It was a strange creature consisting of three steel balls that converged, with two magnets hanging around each of the three balls!

Magneton! A magnetic Pokémon! It emits powerful magnetic force and high voltage, which can evaporate surrounding water and even cause tinnitus in those who get close.

"Gara--" Seeing this, Granny Kikuko's Gara-Gara also took out her bone club, ready to use her signature bone boomerang.

"Ghost—!" Gengar also noticed this and moved with ghostly speed, preparing to unleash a surprise attack!

The evil spirits also know that their weakness is the ghost attribute, so they will prepare to launch surprise attacks with higher attribute attributes first!

This is very effective against Pokémon that specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon, because the main counters to this are Ghost and Psychic types.

"Azure Flame Blade Demon! Shadow Sneak Attack!" Yang Xiying realized that the opponent was launching a surprise attack, so she also took countermeasures!

Use Shadow Sneak Attack with the same priority to attack Gastly, while Crimson Blade Ghost is now level 65 or higher!

—It's definitely faster than those level 20 or 30 weaklings!

More than a dozen Gastly and Haunter were killed by a Shadow Sneak Attack from Azure Flame Blade Ghost, and then Marowak threw out a bone!

With a level similar to Azure Blade Demon, it could easily one-shot a level 30+ Magneton!
