I was resurrected and became a Ghost-type Pokémon Master.

Chapter 3 Sacrificial Rituals

I want to become a Pokémon Trainer.

First, you must be an adult, that is, seventeen years old.

Then register with the league.

And purchase special Poké Balls from the League.

Use these Poké Balls, which have an identification record, to capture the Pokémon you choose.

Novice trainers are the largest group, and they can only own one Pokémon at the beginning.

Only when a Pokémon's energy level and usage skills pass the League's assessment.

You need to be rated level 10 or higher to catch a second Pokémon.

Trainers who own three Pokémon of level 20 or higher can be called professional trainers if they pass the League's assessment.

At this point, trainers can have six Pokémon and form a complete team.

Having three Pokémon that are level 40 or higher makes you an elite trainer.

If you have three Pokémon in your team that are level 60 or higher, you are a Gym Leader.

Once you reach this level, the League no longer limits the number of Pokémon you can capture.

There are even policies that encourage trainers to train more teams.

As for the even higher-level Elite Four trainers...

Having three Pokémon reach level 80 makes you an Elite Four trainer.

However, there are fewer than one hundred trainers in each league who have reached the Elite Four level.

Everyone who stands at this level needs more than just hard work and inspiration.

We also need a little bit of luck.

The Ghost Sea is at this level now.

Granny Gu is the same, but she has the advantage of age, making her much stronger than Gui Hai.

Of course, Ghost Sea has not been registered with the league yet.

So no one knew except Granny Gu.

There are two Elite Four level trainers in this small 'tombstone'.

Furthermore, Elite-level trainers and the title of Elite-level trainer are not the same thing.

Only exceptionally outstanding Elite-level trainers can be called Elite-level trainers.

After becoming the League's top player, he gained decision-making power over some League affairs.

Generally, each league sets no more than ten top players.

As for the championship position, that cannot be determined by rank.

There's only one way to become a champion.

That is to defeat all the Heavenly Kings of the alliance and gain their recognition.

Or defeat the previous champion and gain his approval.

Of course, even the lowest-level champions have at least six Pokémon that are level 100 or higher.

There is actually a title for the champion that doesn't consider level but only combat power and contribution, known as Pokémon Master.

To become a Pokémon Master, in addition to reaching the maximum level in battle, your strength must also be recognized by the champions of other leagues before you can be called a Pokémon Master.

As far as Ghost Sea knows, there are no Pokémon Masters among the current powerhouses of the six leagues.

The last trainer who could be called a master had passed away before Ghost Sea crossed over.

This does not mean that there are nameless masters hiding behind the scenes unknown to everyone.

Because that's impossible; the growth of every champion will be watched by the world.

To become a master, you must first become a champion.

Then their combat strength must be recognized by the alliance.

Such a person simply cannot hide.

The current champions of the six leagues are fairly evenly matched, although some are relatively weak.

But it's impossible for anyone to get all five of them to agree.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a Pokémon Master.

Guihai's goal is to become a Ghost-type Pokémon Master.

He wants to show the world the power and allure of the Ghost type.

"Becoming a Pokémon Master is truly a long and arduous journey."

Guihai murmured as he looked at the system's name.

"But isn't that what makes it challenging?"

The Mimikyu on his shoulder seemed to sense Onikai's thoughts and barked twice at him.

"Mime, mmime!"

Guihai patted the little belly of the Pikachu jacket.

"Let's work together, but the most important thing now is to sleep. We have big things to do tomorrow."

......

Silent all night.

Early the next morning.

The sun was still below the horizon.

Guihai, however, had already slept enough and opened his eyes in his own bed.

This is one of the benefits he gained from understanding the origin.

It only takes a little rest to restore the energy you've lost.

Understanding one's origins is a necessary process for all Elite Four trainers to grow and progress.

All Pokémon are spirits of heaven and earth, the darlings of the world.

However, not all Pokémon can be as powerful as legendary Pokémon.

For most Pokémon to advance further, they need to go through a stage of understanding the world.

During this process, Elite Four Pokémon begin to understand nature and gradually master the fundamental power of this world.

As the mastery of fundamental strengths deepens.

Ultimately, even ordinary Pokémon can become like legendary Pokémon, existing as gods in certain fields.

However, this process is not just about making Pokémon more compatible with the energy of heaven and earth, gaining control of a portion of the power of heaven and earth, and becoming stronger.

Trainers can also sense a part of the world's fundamental power through their bond with Pokémon.

Because Pokémon have different attributes.

These sources could be fire, ice, the power of the earth, or even the power of ghosts.

Ghostsea is an enlightened being who has grasped the essence of Ghost power, and can mobilize a portion of Ghost-type energy like Ghost-type Pokémon.

Gui Hai got up, gently parted the curtains, and looked down.

There were already many people standing at the foot of the tower.

These people include both men and women.

There are children and elderly people.

No one was making a lot of noise, and there were no Pokémon battles that started at the drop of a hat, as happened elsewhere.

Everyone wore a sorrowful expression, or simply clung to their companions and sobbed softly.

The atmosphere was both quiet and eerie.

Guihai glanced at it twice, then lowered the curtains and went to wash up and get ready.

The worship ceremony is an extremely solemn ritual.

In the past, Gui Hai only needed to wash his face and brush his teeth.

But today, he needs to take a bath and sprinkle various ritual powders and essential oils on himself.

Finally, he put on a simple black robe.

It made him appear solemn and dignified.

He pulled the mysterious mask out of the shadows.

Guihai looked at the exquisitely crafted mask in his hand, his fingers gently stroking it.

The mask is made with great care.

The eyes and nostrils were covered by a special substance, with no part of them exposed.

However, it will not affect breathing or vision.

I wonder how the person who made this mask managed to do it.

Gui Hai stroked the ghost face pattern on the mask, turned it over, and slowly placed it on his face.

The mask fits Ghost Sea's face perfectly, looking as if it were part of his face when he put it on.

It makes the Ghost Sea look majestic and terrifying.

Guihai looked at himself in the mirror.

It emerged from the shadows, the leader of the Gengar family that had previously uttered that eerie, cackling laugh.

"Gengar, could you please ask Claydol to open the door?"

Then tell those people to keep quiet, and we will begin the ceremony precisely at sunrise.

“Kou Jie”.

Gengar floated in the air, a smile playing on its lips. Upon hearing this, it responded and then plunged into the ground, disappearing from sight.

At this moment, Rotom also got up from Ghost Sea's bed.

He appeared before Guihai, rubbing his small eyes.

It shuddered at the sight of the mask on Guihai's face.

The lightning-like arms swung so fast that afterimages appeared.

Then, changing his sleepy appearance, he stood tall and proud in front of the ghost sea, like a warrior in a TV series.

Gui Hai touched the mask, recalling the system's description of it.

It allows Pokémon to feel its authority and become more obedient to its commands.

Surprisingly, Rotom, who had seen the mask many times, also benefited from it. It seems I can train it more in the future.

But there are other things to do now.

"Rotom, go and tell everyone to get ready, and also tell them not to hurt the guests who are coming today."

"Loto!"

Rotom saluted Ghost Sea like a soldier receiving an order.

The shadow that had been thrown into the sea of ​​ghosts emerged from within, and a drone sped away.

After a short while, when it was almost time, Guihai looked at Mimikyu, who was still by his side.

"MimikQ, come with me. Grandma has probably already gone underground to guard that door."

"Riddle".

Mimikyu floated up and flew onto Oni-kai's shoulder.

One person and one Pokémon silently crossed the upper floors of the Other Shore Tower.

We walked into the main hall.
