35 Chapter 35 - Mysterious counter
With Dragonair, Itsuki quickly reached the haunted Mansion. After landing 1 meters away from the Mansion, Itsuki called Dragonair back to the pokeball and called Zera out of the pokeball.
"We are here." Zera and Itsuki looked at the Haunted Mansion in front of them.
"I have to say it's beautiful. If this mansion was located near Pallet town then I would have bought the Mansion for my parents."
.
Though the Mansion is beautiful, there was a certain dark type atmosphere around the Mansion, giving it more a frightening look.
The only reason Itsuki managed to stay calm was because he had Zera with him. Usually Itsuki keeps himself away from Haunted places but this time Itsuki had no choice but to go to a Haunted place to catch ghost type pokemon.
.
"I know that ghost type pokemons mostly scares humans and other pokemons and haves fun with them. But some ghost type pokemon are very cruel. They would play with the victim and emotionally torture the victim to death.
I hope I and Zera won't have to face anything like savage type Ghost pokemons." One the reason Itsuki came here was to get a certain type pokemon which could insure his win in Saffron city.
.
Gengar one of the favorite pokemons of Itsuki. Many people likes Gengar but the main problem is how to catch and tame and Gengar. Gengar pokemon are usually playful in nature, they likes to trick or play with others. But some Gengar are extremely savage and kills anyone who enters their territory. This is one of the reason why catching a ghost type pokemon is considered very rare thing.
.
When Itsuki and Zera was looking at the Mansion, a pair of orange and yellow eyes appeared behind Itsuki and quietly entered his shadow.
"Who is there?" Itsuki and Zera turned behind and saw no one. Itsuki did not let his guard down. "I just felt someone's Aura behind me. Zera you felt that right?" Itsuki and Zera can sense every living being's Aura within a certain range.
.
Zeraora! [I felt as well. But the Aura signature disappeared as soon as it appeared.] Itsuki nodded and continued to look at his surroundings. Itsuki already would have run away from this place if Zera wasn't there with him.
"Should we enter the Haunted Mansion?" Itsuki asked. Right now if Zera says no then Itsuki would just go back to the city and think of another way of getting Ghost type pokemon.
Zeraora [Let's enter.]
.
Slowly, Itsuki and Zera together entered the Mansion. The entire Mansion was dark, covered with dust, and every furniture was covered with white clothes. The darkness did not affect Itsuki and Zera, both of them was able to see in the dark perfectly. Aura users can see perfectly in the darkness, this is one the natural ability of being a Aura user.
.
"clomp" "clomp" "clomp" "clomp"
Only the footsteps sounds of Zera and Itsuki can be heard. Zera and Itsuki approached the stairs that connected 2nd floor to the first floor. Slowly but with steady pace, Itsuki and Zera climbed the stairs and reached the 2nd floor.
Even after reaching the 2nd floor, Itsuki and Zera did not found anything.
.
"Strange, usually ghost type pokemons would do something to scare the intruder, the moment the intruder enters their territory or house. But so far, we have found nothing here. We did not even sensed any Aura of another being in the entire Mansion." From the moment they entered the Mansion, Itsuki and Zera has tried to find the Aura of ghost type pokemons but they found nothing.
.
"Maybe someone else must have come here and caught the ghost type pokemon that lived here."
[I also think this might be possible.]
Since this Mansion had no ghost type pokemon in it, there was no reason for Zera and Itsuki to stay, both of them left the Mansion. "Zera, let's head to the next place."
.
"System, where is the next place?"
[Master the 2nd place is also a Haunted house, located 20 km to the east. But the probability of finding ghost type pokemon there is low since, humans have began to live around that haunted house.]
"Then what about the third place?" Itsuki did not wanted to waste time by going to the 2nd place.
[Third place is a cemetery ground of Saffron city. The cemetery ground is located 9 km south-east from master's current location.]
.
"Cemetery ground, shouldn't the cemetery ground be guarded with security? Which makes the probability of finding ghost type pokemon is very less." Finn asked.
[Master, this cemetery has been abandoned for past few years because of new cemetery ground has been built on the other side of the city.] Itsuki nodded.
"Dragonair, come out." Itsuki again sat on Dragonair's back and flew in the south-east direction after calling Zera back to the pokeball.
.
When Itsuki flew with Dragonair, again a pair of orange and yellow eyes appeared on the ground. The shadow looked at Itsuki and began to follow him. No one knew the reason why this shadow was following Itsuki.
When the pair of eyes appeared, Itsuki again sensed something and looked down but he saw nothing. 'Something is definitely following me.' Itsuki figured because he sensed the same Aura from the last time.
.
Minutes later, Itsuki was standing in front of the abandoned Cemetery. The cemetery had the same appearance as ordinary cemetery except the fact that this cemetery looked old and was not maintained for a long time. Big trees, grass and moss were growing everywhere even on the grave walls. The sunlight was being blocked because of the trees and everything was very quiet. All this gave Itsuki a creepy feeling.
.
"Come out Zera." Zeraora come out and looked at the scene in front of her. Seeing the look on Zera, Itsuki chuckled and said.
"This place looks even more frightening than the abandoned Mansion we visited earlier." Zera also nodded with Itsuki. Sometimes if a dead body is buried under the soil then some pokemons digs ups that dead body to eat it. That's why Cemeteries are usually heavily guarded.
.
"Let's search the cemetery, hopefully we will find something" Itsuki and Zera walked for at least an hour, around the cemetery and they found nothing.
Zeraora! [I do not sense anything in this place except for some group of Spearow living on the tree.]
Itsuki sighed and nodded. "It seems my luck is really bad today. I was sure I would find something by visiting the three places. Zera let's go back to the city and have lunch there."
.
Zera and Itsuki was about to walk away from the Cemetery when a pair of orange and yellow eyes appeared behind Itsuki. This time Itsuki reacted fast enough a saw the pair of eyes on his shadow. When Itsuki gaze meet with the eyes in the shadow, the eyes immediately closed itself and acted as it was not there.
.
But this time, Itsuki was not going to give it any chance.
"Zera, use fire punch on the my shadow." Zera also felt the same Aura as before but her reaction was little slower than Itsuki showing that Itsuki's Aura rank was higher than her. Zera didn't understand why Itsuki wanted her to punch his shadow but she still did it.
.
When Zera punched the shadow, something in the shadow began to burn and the figure hiding in the shadow instantly came out.
Seeing the figure, Itsuki immediately recognized it. "How is this possible?"
