"So Natsume, do you have any ideas?" Kasumi asked, pointing at the grinning Tsuyoshi.
"Why don't you ask him?" Natsume pointed at Kotaka.
"Huh? How can we communicate with him in this state?" Xiaoxia asked, puzzled.
"Don't misunderstand, Xiaogang's condition isn't caused by being a ghost." Xiaogang spoke up as soon as Natsume finished speaking:
"I saw a super beautiful older sister on the edge of the cliff earlier, and she looked exactly like this rock!"
After saying that, Xiao Gang continued to grin foolishly.
Xiaoxia: "."
"You guys, being haunted by ghosts is no good thing."
An aged voice sounded from behind, and an old woman who looked very much like Granny Jin came out.
It is short, but it wears the attire of a priestess, and its eyes are inverted triangles like Gengar's, giving it a somewhat sharp look.
"It's that old lady." Xiao Zhi took out the second skewer of rice cakes.
"Ah! Team Rocket too!" Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise, looking behind the old woman.
From the shadows, behind the old woman, the Rockets trio emerged.
"Seriously, why do we have to come all the way up the mountain just to eat oden?" Musashi complained.
"Never mind, let's treat Kojiro first, meow." Meowth said, noticing Ash and his friends, who were their rivals.
"It's you guys, meow!"
The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.
The old woman took out her cane and tapped one of the people on the head.
"Oh dear, you all have companions who are being haunted by ghosts. Why don't you come back to the temple with me for treatment?"
As she spoke, the old woman clasped her hands together and a smile appeared on her face.
"Satoshi," Natsume suddenly spoke.
"Um—what's wrong, Natsume-nii?" Ash turned around, holding a small bucket full of wooden sticks, his mouth stuffed with mochi, and mumbled incoherently.
"Pikachu—" As he spoke, the man with the middle part and Pikachu snatched two more pieces.
"Use your Pokédex to appraise her," Natsume said, pointing to the old woman in front of him.
He looked up slightly and saw a chubby purple figure above the old woman's head.
Gengar floated silently in the air, pointing its chubby little finger at the old woman below—something was wrong with her.
[Grandma, Grandma's Pokémon is actually Gastly in disguise. It constructed this image based on your memories.]
Gastly, LV.22.
"Wow, it's a Gastly!"
Xiao Zhi became excited.
"Go, Pikachu!"
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu stood opposite his mother-in-law with a strong voice.
"Hahaha!" The witch stopped pretending and her entire body disappeared, transforming into a Pokémon image that resembled a black hole.
"It really is a Gastly!" Xiaoxia exclaimed.
"You guys are no fun at all!" Gastly suddenly spoke in a human voice.
"What?! Someone can talk besides me, meow!" Meow exclaimed in surprise.
"This is not speaking human language," Natsume explained.
"Some Psychic and Ghost-type Pokémon can have a psychotic effect, and if this effect becomes strong enough, it can make you understand their language."
"Ash, you've caught him." Natsume patted Ash on the shoulder.
He now feels that this Gastly has considerable training value.
It is possible to use psychological suggestion to the point that people feel he is speaking human language, without being detected.
Even Granny Kiku's Gengar couldn't do that.
This has nothing to do with level. Only Ghost-type Pokémon that have lived long enough and have perfect control over every bit of their power can achieve this effect.
This is why Ghost and Psychic-type Pokémon from historical sites and landmarks are more popular.
Besides their use in battles, they have a wider range of applications.
For example, give Dragonite energy control training.
Natsume winked at Gengar, who then vanished into thin air.
"Go, Pikachu, use Magnetic Sword Tail!" Ash shouted, pressing his face close to Pikachu.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu leaped into the air, its tail shimmering with black light, reflecting the moonlight.
Suddenly, the opponent's Gastly changed shape.
A giant kangaroo appeared, and from its pouch, a smaller kangaroo poked its head out and waved at Pikachu.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu's mind was in turmoil. The light swirling around its tail disappeared, and it jumped back in front of Ash.
"Pikachu! Pikachu!" For some reason, Pikachu seemed a little disappointed.
"Huh? Pikachu, why don't you want to fight them?" Ash asked curiously.
"Pikachu was adopted by Professor Oak. When it was still a Pichu, its adoptive mother was a Kangaskhan."
Natsume poked his head out and gave Ash a brief description of Pikachu's past.
"So that's how it is." Ash hugged Pikachu with heartache, then a look of anger flashed across his face:
"You cunning bastard!" Ash said, throwing three red and white balls.
"Hahahaha!" Gastly, who was laughing wildly, suddenly froze.
Wait a minute, shouldn't he be a passionate and kind-hearted young man? Why would he think of something like ganging up on someone?
Three red lights flashed, and Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur appeared one after another.
Gastly calmed down when it saw that there were three baby Pokémon.
"Hahaha, you all watch closely!" he said.
Gastly transformed into a giant Charizard.
At the same time, a cannon barrel belonging to Blastoise protrudes from its shoulder.
A giant flower of Venusaur sprouted from above its head.
"Neilny! Genie! Seed!"
Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur were so frightened that they huddled together and retreated into Ash's Poké Ball.
"Mr. Natsume, why can this Gastly transform into the appearance of other Pokémon?" Jiaozi walked over and asked curiously.
"I don't know, but his psychic power is very strong, and he can easily see through his opponent's mind." Natsume clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Hahaha! You guys are too weak!" Gastly laughed loudly.
"Go, Apo-monster!" Musashi suddenly launched an attack from behind.
"Hmm?" Gastly merely glanced at them.
In a flash, it transformed into the form of Zangoose, the natural enemy of snake-type Pokémon.
"Po!!!"
"Abobo Snake, what are you doing—"
Arbok was so frightened that it retreated repeatedly, bumping into Musashi and tumbling down the hillside with Meowth.
Kojiro was still grinning foolishly.
"Gagagagagagaga!"
Seeing these humans being manipulated at will, he realized that they were completely under his control.
Gastly began to laugh wildly, and as it laughed, it found itself shrouded in shadow.
Looking up, he saw a red-eyed Gengar staring at him.
"."
Hey bro, where are you from?
Gastly's smile vanished, sensing something was terribly wrong. Just as it was about to run away, Gengar slapped it so hard it saw stars.
Gengar's claws flashed with dark light, and with another slap, Gastly completely lost its ability to fight.
"Satoshi!" Natsume reminded him.
Ash realized this too late and quickly threw out a red and white ball.
The ball was caught by Natsume with one hand halfway through its journey.
"Wait a minute. If we capture it directly, we'll be teleported back to Professor Oak's lab."
As Natsume spoke, he took out his software and pointed it at the unconscious Gastly.
Gastly, LV22.
[Ability: Illusion (Appears as the last Pokémon in the party to confuse the opponent).]
Hallucination?
Isn't this a characteristic of Zorua?
If Natsume remembers correctly, Gastly's only useful ability seems to be levitation.
But when Natsume thought of Alain's water-breathing Charizard, the illusion of Gastly suddenly made sense.
[Level B Project - The Ever-Changing Decipherable Solution Has Been Solved, Super Ball Scratch-off Ticket +1.]
The system's voice also sounded at this moment.
In that case, Ailan's water-storage sprayer can be considered a special case.
Natsume stroked his chin, wondering when he should scan the other person's Charizard.
After all, with such unique characteristics, you can get the reward simply by scanning the QR code on the app.
It couldn't be easier.
