To help Axew overcome his fear of water, Hu Yang brought it to the lake near the Flame Trail.

Because it is very close to Mt. Chimney, the temperature here is not as low as it is outside, and the lake is not frozen, but there is a faint mist.

"Raleley…" Grass Type's Roselia didn't like the environment.

"It's a little hot." Hu Yang looked all around and saw a few Slugmas behind a pile of rocks.

It's a soft-bodied Pokémon that looks like a snail without a shell. It's all red, with a pair of yellow eyes, a pair of flame-like tentacles on the top of its head, and water droplets hanging down the sides of its mouth.

To be honest, the real Slugma that didn't evolve into Magcargo is really like Red's Nasal Mucus Insect…

"Want to go back to the Poké Ball?" Hu Yang looked away, asked.

Roselia hesitated, looked towards the timid Axew, and shook her head.

Hu Yang smiled slightly and said, "Then hold on for a while."

"Roliley!" Roselia showed a happy expression.

"Axew…" Axew looked at the bottomless lake in front of him, showing a little retreat.

Hu Yang took off his shoes first, lifted his trouser legs, and sat on the shore. The lake water immediately submerged his calf, reaching the knee.

"Can you tell me why you are so afraid of water?" Hu Yang asked, picking up Axew and placing it on his lap.

"Axew…"

Gengar interprets simultaneously:

"It said that it had been with a companion before to get the Berry that fell into the water. Its companion accidentally didn't hold it; it fell in and was swept away by the river…"

Hu Yang: "…"

He looked down at Axew, his arm so small and so short, who can hold it…

"Can you try again? The river is not as terrifying as you think." Hu Yang tried his best to keep his tone gentle.

Since he had kidnapped this Axew, he was naturally responsible for it.

"Axew…" Axew hesitated but finally nodded.

Seeing this, Hu Yang grabbed its arms and slowly lowered its short legs into the water.

Alright at first, Axew wasn't so nervous until the water covered his chest.

The fear buried deep in his brain spread out, Axew's claws tightened, and Struggle jerked up.

Suddenly, water splashed everywhere.

Hu Yang reassured it while holding it down: "Calm down, it's alright, I won't let go!"

"Axew…"

Perhaps because it didn't feel the river water spreading into its nostrils, or maybe because of these few words, Axew gradually calmed down.

"Do you feel it? I've got you." Hu Yang clenched its little paws and said softly.

"Axew…" Axew, with tears in its eyes, responded with equal force.

At this time, Hu Yang saw that Axew's favorability suddenly rose to 90.

Pokemon is really a very simple creature.

Just give them some insignificant kindness, and they will completely trust you and dedicate their everything to you.

Hu Yang's heart was slightly touched. He looked at Axew and asked with a smile:

"Isn't it as terrifying as you imagined?"

Axew looked down, glanced at the surface of the water, and the ripples rippled, its face vaguely reflected on it.

"Axew?"

Axew patted the water with the other paw.

It finds… that it really doesn't seem that terrifying anymore.

Hu Yang asked, "Can you try it yourself?"

Axew hesitated.

Hu Yang slowly let go of his hand when he saw this; his body lost support, and Axew suddenly panicked.

Hu Yang: "…"

He quickly took Axew out.

Try to teach Axew Swimming and Surf (not a move) when you're ready to let him get used to the feeling of being in contact with the water as he plays.

Axew made a sorry expression as he spat.

"Raleigh!" Seeing this scene, Roselia was really happy for it.

Roselia is a mild-tempered, non-fighting Pokémon, and Axew's temperament happens to be the same.

It remembered that Roselia helped him get the milk last night, put his head together, and sent a friendly Growl to it: "Axew ~"

Hu Yang happily looked at it. In this scene, as a trainer, I naturally hope that every Pokémon of mine can get along with each other.

However, why does he always have the illusion that he is raising children?

Hu Yang looked at Axew and began to think.

"…"

Forget it, what to do, when he returns to Petalburg City, he will start strict special training for Axew.

As for Roselia…

It seems to like the Contest tournament that shows itself.

Hu Yang began to think about the possibility of taking it to the Contest tournament.

He did consider taking this path of coordination trainers before.

Because if this path becomes famous, it will become a kind of existence similar to Celebrity, and it will make a lot of money.

But now, he has no money to go to Meteor Falls to stock up, and the need for money is not as great as before.

But…

The look on Roselia's face while watching the Contest tournament came to Hu Yang's mind.

Well, since he likes it, let's go to the Contest tournament with him after that!

…

After finalizing the plan, Hu Yang took the Pokémon back to Lavaridge Town.

Time passed unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, the year 208 of the Alliance calendar came to year 209.

On New Year's Day, Lavaridge Town hosted a large-scale fireworks celebration for Celebrate's new year.

Hu Yang and a few Pokémon stood by the window on the second floor of the hot spring hotel and looked towards the sky.

Fireworks bloom in the night sky, short but gorgeous.

Except for Hu Yang, it was the first time to see such a scene.

Even Cramorant looked up in silence.

This is the first New Year for Pokémon, and also the first New Year for Hu Yang to come to this world.

After the fireworks show, Hu Yang bought a bunch of big meals from outside.

He sat with the Pokémon around a table full of delicious food, and everyone was filled with joy.

Except, of course, a certain Gengar with a Grudge in his heart.

Gengar wanted to eat and kept his mouth shut to prevent the drool from coming out.

Hu Yang: "…"

He thought of some things from his previous life and asked, "You are in a state of soul now, right?"

Gengar seems to understand nodded.

Like, yes?

Soul…

"Then can you take someone else's soul and occupy their body?" Hu Yang continued.

Gengar froze for a moment, then shook his head.

Hu Yang regretted: "Well, if that's the case, then forget it."

Gengar didn't react: "What do you mean?"

Hu Yang: "Meaning, you can eat with my body, and when you're full, change it back."

Gengar felt that his heart was really big: "Aren't you afraid that I will hurt you?"

Hu Yang asked back, "Would you?"

With a thought, Gengar's message appeared in his mind.

[Race: Grudge Gengar ♂]

Characteristic Trait: Body of Curse

Species Strength: 520 (Health: 60, Attack: 65, Defense: 60, Special Attack: 150, Special Defense: 75, Speed: 110)

Current mood: ? ? ?

Physical state: Spirit Physique (special state after death with obsession, different from ordinary Ghost Type, cannot touch the real world and cannot be touched.)

Friendliness: 100 (it likes to follow you like this, wherever you take it)

Gengar doesn't really, but it doesn't want to admit it and doesn't want to drool on the outside, so it doesn't look back back to the orb.

Hu Yang frowned slightly.

This state of Gengar is not like an ordinary death.

He took the Ho-Oh feather out of his bag.

Well then.

The question is, can Ho-Oh's power revive Gengar?

It's so hard to find Ho-Oh right now.

And Tianqingshan is far away in the Kanto Region, Ho-Oh is still flying around the world, even if you get there successfully, it may not be able to arrive instantly.

After some thought, Hu Yang decided to go back to Petalburg City first.

He remembered that the Totem Gengar last time seemed to have glanced at this Gengar.

Maybe from it, we can learn some information.

…

After the New Year, Hu Yang took the cable car back to Naipuru Gym, where he took the passenger boat to Kanaz City according to the way he came.

This return journey is not as exciting as the previous one.

No rainstorm and no Ho-Oh.

Hu Yang and Cramorant stared at the deck for two whole days, but did not see the photographer's silhouette, and he was very sorry.

Finally, on a sunny day, the passenger ship successfully arrived in Kanaz City.

Looking at the photo of Steven hiding the sky and covering the earth on the street, Hu Yang realized that,

Steven seems to have successfully defeated the Elite Four and became the Hoenn Region Region Champion.

It's a bit fast…

But it's normal for Steven.

Steven became the champion, and the most excited is the owner of the Devon company, President Zvqi.

These photos and publicity, don't need to think to know that it is his handwriting.

Hu Yang didn't care too much.

Although he happened to meet Steven last time, they were still just strangers to each other.

They haven't even exchanged names, leaving only a contact information.

Hu Yang does not plan to make more stops in Kanaz City.

He's been gone for nearly a month, wondering what's going on over there in Petalburg City.

After so long, the Hoenn Alliance should have settled the matter of the mansion, right?

However, when he went to take the bus back to Petalburg City, he found that Petalburg Woods still hasn't lifted.

Hu Yang: "…"

Sure enough, the Hoenn Alliance hasn't resolved the incident at the mansion yet?

But think about it, so many Ghost Type Pokémon that are hostile to humans are really hard to deal with.

In half an hour.

The bus arrived at Petalburg City, Hu Yang got off the bus and went straight to Pokemon School.

From far away, he saw Rika's silhouette.

Across from her, stood a handsome guy with silver blue hair.

"Hi, Rika!" Hu Yang greeted her with large and small bags.

"Are you back?" Rika asked, "Happy New Year!"

The man next to him also turned his head hearing this, and was stunned when he saw the person coming .

Steven subconsciously looked towards the package in Hu Yang's hand.

Hu Yang was speechless when he saw this scene.

Steven doesn't think he's carrying another bag of rocks, does he?

Steven said hello: "Are you a student in this school?"

Hu Yang said: "No, I'm Teacher."

Rika first explained to Hu Yang: "Mr. Steven is here to investigate the events of the Ghost Pokemon in the forest."

Then she said to Steven: "Mr. Steven, this is the Teacher from our school."

Hu Yang also learned to speak from her: "Hello, Mr. Steven."

Steven: "…"

I went all the way because I was carrying too much Hu Yang felt a little sore in his hands. He wanted to go back to the dormitory and put down his bag first, so he lowered his head to Rika and gestured to the bag in his hand, saying:

"New Year's Present, go to my place to get it later!"

It was a special product he brought back from Lavaridge Town, Lava Cookie, because he had a little money on hand, so he prepared a copy for everyone.

Rika pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay."

After speaking, Hu Yang left.

Steve looked at his back, remembered what Phoebe said in his mind, and suddenly asked: "Is that the Teacher who saw the mansion last time?"

Rika nodded : "Yes, it's also the little Teacher who cracked those Ghost Pokemon illusions."

Steve seriously nodded, said: "I see."

When there are no stones in front of him , Steven has always been a serious person, this time he has just become a champion, he received the task to investigate the mansion incident in Petalburg Woods.

After asking the questions, Steven returned to the police station.

Phoebe asked: "How is it? Is there any gain?"

Steven frowned shook the head, suddenly asked: "Your Pokémon, can't crack the illusion of that forest?"

Phoebe's expression also became serious, she looked the head.

During this time, she almost lived in Petalburg Woods, trying to find traces of the existence of the mansion, but every time she was unsuccessful.

"That area is enveloped by a very strong force, and the master of that force is far stronger than my Pokémon." Phoebe said heavily: "Obviously, it doesn't want us to Find the mansion."

Steven sighed, said: "…I see."

Alas, after becoming a champion, he didn't even have time to study the stuff he brought back from Meteor Falls. of stones.

It has been a long time since no one lived there, and the dormitory has been covered with a layer of dust.

Hu Yang put on gloves and cleaned up with the Pokémon.

But in fact, he was the only one cleaning.

"You two, go and play!" Seeing Axew stomping on the floor that hasn't been dragged, Hu Yang suddenly felt a pain in his head.

"Roselia, take her to wash her feet!" he commanded as he was busy.

"Axew!" Axew looked at the row of small footprints behind him and showed a shy smile.

Wild Pokémon is used to rolling around in the mud outside, it's normal not to notice it for a while, Hu Yang doesn't mean to blame it.

"Raleley…" Roselia had lived here for a while, so when she entered the room, she stood by obediently and honestly and waited.

He took Axew outside and hosed its feet.

Because the ground at the door had not been cleaned, the two Pokémon dared not go in directly, so they stood outside and called for Hu Yang.

Hu Yang heard the sound, came over, and carried them into the room. He placed them on the clean desk and continued to mop the floor.

Axew and Roselia sat on the edge of the desk, swinging their little feet leisurely, with silly smiles on their faces, looking very happy.

Gengar: "…"

Two little fools…

Cramorant: "Ka!"

Gengar: "You're also a fool."

Cramorant: "Ka!"

Gengar: "…" None of them are normal.
