Chapter 136 Bizarre Challenger_1

How would the Dangerous Premonition ability, combined with the heart of an actor and the use of Superpower in a performance, manifest itself in a Ghost House?

…

Backstage at the Ghost House.

Fang Yuan and the others watched as Baltoy rolled on the ground in distress, their expressions grave.

The Trainer of Baltoy, a girl with long hair, stood up abruptly.

"Don't worry, it must have been targeted by the Night Giant that likes to create Flame illusions—"

Teacher Zhou Youyou said with a gentle smile, "Hasn't your Baltoy mastered 'Recognize'?"

Students generally come to the Magic University Haunted House to train their Pokemon's resistance to the strange abilities of Ghost-type Pokemon.

Be it Odor Detection or Recognize, as well as various other methods to detect the presence of Ghost-type Pokemon, all can be cultivated in the Ghost House.

Theoretically, Baltoy should be able to master the move Recognize and not have trouble with the Ghost House, but this Baltoy was the first to be affected, which was certainly unsatisfactory, even its Trainer showed an embarrassed expression.

"That move... since it isn't very powerful, I didn't have it practice much."

"Take this as a lesson," Teacher Zhou Youyou said, shaking her head at the New Trainer's focus on "offensive" moves to the neglect of "status" moves, which was a common oversight among newbies.

In contrast, the few people brought over by Director Qi were all doing well.

Immediately afterwards, the screen showed Lin Sen's Bulbasaur, which walked around releasing a sweet scent, absorbing its own scent to alleviate its fear.

A Dusclops approached it, releasing Hypnosis from the ceiling, but Bulbasaur merely faltered for a moment before it inhaled its own sweet scent subconsciously and successfully snapped out of it.

The sweet scent, which could confuse other Pokemon, actually invigorated Bulbasaur, the producer of the scent itself – this was its way of combating illusions.

Seeing this, many New Trainers watching couldn't help but exclaim and point at Bulbasaur's performance, and its Trainer Lin Sen showed a proud expression.

"Not bad, but the difficulty of the Ghost House increases gradually, making it through one Hypnosis doesn't mean it will be able to next time," said Teacher Zhou Youyou, nodding her head after seeing Bulbasaur's performance, which was quite satisfactory.

"Ah! My Six tails..."

Suddenly, a male New Trainer stood up anxiously; on the screen, a small and adorable Fire-type Spirit with six tails was spinning around in circles within a room.

Though there were two doors in the room, it kept going in circles, unable to leave normally.

It was as if it had encountered an endless loop, unable to distinguish directions, with blurred self-awareness and no concept of where to go.

"Hehehe~~~" Beside Six tails, a Dusclops was observing it with gemstone-like eyes.

Whoosh!!

Fearsome phantoms appeared around Dusclops, which then positioned itself in front of Six tails, purposely letting Six tails bump into it.

At that bump, Six tails felt a chill all over.

Dusclops revealed a sinister smile, letting out a loud scream with all its might, causing the recently lucid Six tails to break out in a cold sweat and faint on the spot.

"Six tails should possess Superpower Talent... and yet it fainted from the 'Shock' move..."

Fang Yuan blinked, watching other New Trainers' Pokemon excel or get eliminated early, feeling incredibly frustrated. He hadn't yet spotted Eevee and Magnemite and was now very puzzled.

"There hasn't been an accident, has there? Eevee, with its Dangerous Premonition ability and having watched so many horror movies, should have strong mental fortitude and shouldn't be eliminated so early. And as for Magnemite, its spiritual power should be among the top here; it wouldn't be weak against illusions, and its Electromagnetic wave should be able to fend off illusions as well..."

As time ticked by, of the initial eleven, only five remained.

The eliminated New Trainers all looked dejected, their initial confidence dissipating with the collapse of their Pokemon.

The haunted house at Mo Da really wasn't so easy to challenge.

"Lin Sen's Bulbasaur has probably covered one-tenth of the distance, which is currently the farthest any Pokemon has got," Teacher Zhou Youyou suddenly said. "Next, the scare tactics of those Ghost-type Pokemon will intensify, let's see how much longer you can last."

As the person in charge of the haunted house finished speaking, everyone was surprised. The farthest had only reached one-tenth of the way?

To think that Bulbasaur had already withstood three attacks.

Fang Yuan was dumbfounded.

So what exactly happened to Eevee and Little Magnetic Monster?

"Where's your Eevee?" Lin Sen standing beside Fang Yuan also asked, this time, Fang Yuan should finally lose to him, right?

"Yeah, where's my Eevee." Fang Yuan scratched his head and asked Teacher Zhou Youyou, "Could you tell me... The screen hasn't shown my Pokemon from the very start, could there be a malfunction?"

"Hmm?" Teacher Zhou Youyou looked at Fang Yuan and remembered that he was the New Trainer with two Pokemon.

"Indeed, I haven't seen Eevee and Little Magnetic Monster either, which is illogical. Let's give the monitoring staff a call," Director Qi said.

"I'll ask about it," Teacher Zhou nodded.

The conversation of the few drew the attention of the crowd.

Just then…

The door backstage was suddenly knocked.

A haunted house staff member came in sweating, "Is there an Eevee and a Little Magnetic Monster that were put in here?"

"There's a big problem, who's their Trainer?"

"What happened?" Fang Yuan asked anxiously.

"It's a mess, those two Pokemon have no intention of going through the haunted house, and somehow they started chatting with the haunted house's Pokemon..." The monitoring staff was in disarray. It was his first time seeing such a scenario, so he couldn't help but ask Teacher Zhou, "Teacher Zhou, how do we handle this situation, should we just call them out?"

The staff took out a remote control, pressed it, and the image changed. A creature with arms but no head and another headless monster appeared, engaging in a passionate discussion with a Dream Demon.

"??" Teacher Zhou, Director Qi, Fang Yuan, and many New Trainers.

"Look," the staff said, "it seems the Dream Demon that was hiding in the house got scared out by those two Pokemon. Then the three Pokemon started conversing... even a Banette from next door came by to visit once."

"What the fuck??" Lin Sen couldn't understand. Scaring Pokemon from the haunted house? And what about Eevee being draped in hair? That eerie head, was it Little Magnetic Monster?

He looked at Fang Yuan, how could your Pokemon be so odd, no, you as a Trainer are not normal!

"This..." Fang Yuan had a headache.

What kind of trouble was Eevee causing now?

"Eh…" Just when Fang Yuan was about to ask the staff to pull out Eevee and Little Magnetic Monster, something astonishing happened. In the image, the Dream Demon created a small Shadow Ball and, following its instruction, Eevee started to ponder deeply.

The environment of the haunted house, rich in emotion and Ghost Energy, allowed Eevee to have new insights. The step of focus it couldn't achieve outside was easily completed this time with the Dream Demon's teaching. Eevee laughed, thinking that passing the challenge was impossible; it was never going to pass the challenge in this lifetime. Entering the Ghost House felt like coming home. Inside, every Pokemon was talented, and they even taught Moves. Eevee really liked it there.

Whoosh!

As the Shadow Ball appeared and disappeared, Eevee happily communicated with the Dream Demon. The Dream Demon, having received the core theory of "an actor's self-cultivation" from Eevee, was also very happy. It gladly opened the door, escorted Eevee and Little Magnetic Monster out, and showed them a shortcut to leave the place.

"I feel like something's not quite right…"

Fang Yuan scratched his head and said, "Maybe we shouldn't call them out just yet?"

What if Eevee and Little Magnetic Monster could learn something else from the next Pokemon?
