Pokémon: The Journey of Bonds

"You are able to skillfully apply what you learned in the first training. Good! It looks like you are qualified for a new round of training!"

"New training? What is it?"

"Come catch ghosts with me!"

"Ghost hunting?"

"Those ghost-type Pokémon love to cause trouble. My main job is to find them. Although the people here live in harmony with the ghost-type Pokémon, those outside love to cause trouble. I am usually the one to subdue them. Others are not qualified. They can't even sense ghost-type Pokémon. I took you in as my apprentice because I saw your special power, and you really didn't let me down."

"I understand. Let's go quickly."

Wu Yao followed Nie Moli to a village. When the people here saw the Ghost King, they lined up to welcome him.

"Our place has been haunted for a long time. Fortunately, you, the Ghost King, are able to help!"

"let's go!"

The ghost king was very aloof and went straight into the village.

"God of Heaven! The children in our village have often had trouble sleeping in the past six months. They are always scared by ghosts. The key is not just one or two families. All the children who are alone have been scared by ghosts. There are no children who sleep with their parents. If the adults had not been scared, we would have thought that the children had too much imagination and were talking nonsense. We have invited various monks and Taoists to exorcise the ghosts, but they are useless. Please find out the culprit who harmed those children!"

Nie Moli squatted down and asked a child: "What happened to you?"

"When I was sleeping at night, the people drawn on the calendar on the wall would suddenly move. Dali's fan would suddenly start running when there was no electricity and could not be turned off. Xiaohong often had nightmares at night and she would cry out of fear."

"I see. Let's go take a look inside the village."

After wandering around the village, Nie Moli said to Wu Yao: "We haven't found anything yet. How about you think of a way to lure the ghost out?"

Wu Yao felt that she had indeed discovered a ghost, but he himself did not discover anything. She was training and testing herself so that she could also find the ghost-type Pokémon.

"I think I am a child too. How about I sleep alone tonight and lure that ghost to appear?"

"Pfft, are you a child?"

"If you haven't had your 19th birthday yet, you are still a child if you are under 20."

"Is this a good idea? Go ahead and leave the ghost-subduing here to you. I have to go pick up my old friend's grandson. He will be here soon."

"Hold on, leave this to me!"

Nie Moli and the village chief gave a few instructions before leaving in a car. The village chief took Wu Yao to his home and treated him well, preparing all kinds of fish and meat. He also wanted the villagers to slaughter a fragrant pig to entertain Wu Yao. After all, Wu Yao was the apprentice of the ghost king, and he wanted to curry favor with him, but was stopped by Wu Yao. Wu Yao asked the village chief to prepare an empty room for him so that he could catch ghosts at night.

The village chief quickly arranged an empty room for Wu Yao to live in so that he could implement his ghost catching plan.

In the blink of an eye, it was night. Wu Yao pretended to be asleep, quietly waiting for the arrival of the ghost-type Pokémon.

Wu Yao pretended to be asleep until he accidentally fell asleep. In the middle of the night, he felt unusually cold. At the same time, in his dream, a great shark attacked him and wanted to swallow him in one bite. Wu Yao was so scared that he woke up instantly, and then looked around vigilantly. The electric fan started to run without electricity, and the lights flickered as if someone was pressing buttons randomly.

Wu Yao calmed down and began to feel the air fluctuations around him. Soon he found abnormal air fluctuations in two places. Wu Yao sent out Greninja and asked him to aim at one place and attack. Greninja chose the ghost that turned off the lights. After aiming and attacking, the ghost dissipated, and the other ghost ran away.

Wu Yao went forward and took a look, and found that it was actually a substitute doll. It seemed that the ghost was controlling the substitute doll to touch the switch, and the real body was controlling the electric fan.

When everyone heard the sound, they came over with weapons in hand. Seeing that Wu Yao was unharmed, they asked, "How is it, Master? Did you catch the ghost?"

"It's a pity that we didn't catch him and he ran away. But I have locked him. He is a Pokémon, not a real ghost!"

"Master, you are worthy of being the disciple of the Ghost King! You are much more reliable than those monks and Taoist priests! They are all cheating. They didn't even find the source of the ghosts, but they charged us tens of thousands of dollars for talismans and salvation fees!"

"Don't worry! I'm different from those fake monks and fake Taoist priests! If I can't catch the ghost, I won't charge you a penny!"

"Master is awesome!"

"Master is worthy of being a master, he is so courageous!"

Wu Yao listened to their flattery, but he was not happy. Instead, he thought to himself: I failed this time. That ghost will definitely not fall into my trap. I have to think of a new way to deal with him!

At this time, Wu Yao thought of Rotom. It should have the ability of perspective, and as a ghost-type Pokémon, they might have something in common. So Wu Yao quickly called Rotom over while the others were gone.

"Rotom, can you sense the presence of other ghost-type Pokémon?"

"Yes, I can sense a ghostly presence three miles outside the village, Loto!"

"Okay! Then go lure that ghost-type Pokémon over here! We'll catch him together!"

"Rotom understands! Lotom!"

Rotom flew out of the mobile phone Pokémon, walked towards where the ghost-type Pokémon was, and flew over. After a while, Rotom successfully arrived at a place with a breath.

"Hello! Is anyone there? Loto?"

"Hey, scare, scare, of course there's no one here, only Pokémon, scare, scare!"

A light purple Haunter appeared, with a blue mouth, and it was a shiny Pokémon.

"I want to come and join you. We are both ghosts. How about we go and cause trouble together? Loto?"

"Sabotage? I like that! Hey, scare, scare! But I was just discovered by a human today, and I almost died!"

"It's okay, I'll cover you, Loto!"

"Great! That's great! You are really my good brother!"

The two sneaked into the village quietly. Rotom led the way to Haunter into Wu Yao's trap. Haunter saw a child and controlled the electric fan. Rotom controlled the lights to flash. The two cooperated very well, but the dummy on the bed did not respond at all.

Haunter was confused and went up to check. Greninja lifted up the bed board and released evil waves at Haunter. Haunter fell to the ground on the spot and couldn't get up. Wu Yao also asked Greninja to use less force and not to really kill Haunter.
