Chapter 670: Will-O-Wisp
Chapter 670: Will-O-Wisp
"Why are you fighting here?" Officer Jenny asked, her demeanor fierce.
"Officer Jenny, they were trying to steal my Pokémon, and so many people ganged up on me. I was just defending myself," Yuga quickly explained.
"Is that so?" Officer Jenny turned to Ando and the girl, asking for their side of the story.
"Are you blind? Can\'t you see how badly we\'ve been beaten?" The girl immediately became indignant and pointed to the beaten bodyguards and Pokémon on the ground as she argued with Officer Jenny.
Ando, hearing his little girl\'s words, felt a headache coming on. Couldn\'t she just keep quiet for once? He had planned to play the victim in front of Officer Jenny, hoping to gain sympathy and a more lenient resolution, but now that was unlikely to happen.
It\'s true that one should fear teammates who act like pigs rather than god-like opponents.
Unlike Yuga, who was trying his best to cooperate, the girl\'s unreasonable and tough attitude only made Officer Jenny tilt her favor towards Yuga.
"You got beaten up badly because you simply lacked the skills. Robbery is still robbery, and if you get beaten for it, you deserve it. Did I do anything wrong by defending myself?" Yuga disdainfully remarked.
Yuga\'s words were nothing but the truth, and with many witnesses around, the truth was quickly uncovered. Officer Jenny soon learned the facts and Yuga\'s words were validated.
When the girl was taken away by Officer Jenny, she even attempted to threaten her. But was Officer Jenny someone easily intimidated?
In the end, the girl could only leave grumbling, and Ando followed behind, looking utterly defeated.
Back at the hotel, when Yuga saw Solidad talking to the landlady in the lobby, it seemed she had been waiting for him.
Seeing Yuga return safely, Solidad breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a few words with Yuga, and then returned to her room.
The next morning, Yuga woke up and, after greeting Misaki, Lain, and Anya, he headed out. This time, to ensure Yuga didn\'t leave her behind, Gardevoir relinquished control of her body to Gardevoir (male), enabling her to get up smoothly and leave with Yuga.
The reason Yuga had left so early that day was to check on the underground cave where the Clauncher and Clawitzer families lived.
In theory, living in such a secluded place, they shouldn\'t encounter any problems. However, after seeing those two Clauncher in the Cliffside Cave yesterday, Yuga couldn\'t help but worry.
After all, the location where the Clauncher families lived was the homeland of the Clauncher families in his Ecopark, so Yuga didn\'t want anything to happen here.
When Yuga and Gardevoir arrived at the beach, he released Lapras and climbed onto its neck. Together, they dived underwater.
Yuga vividly remembered the suffocating feeling when he and Robert had exited through this underwater passage. However, now, with Lapras by his side, that short underwater passage was no challenge at all.
Once they entered the water, Lapras controlled its Water-type powers, creating a bubble that enveloped Yuga\'s head, instantly eliminating the sensation of suffocation.
Lapras\'s diving speed was impressive. Yuga felt like they had arrived at the end of the underwater passage in the blink of an eye.
When they emerged from the water, they had entered the interior of the underground cave.
The cave\'s environment remained dark, but one noticeable difference was the complete absence of any noise. There should have been the usual sounds of water movement, considering this was a habitat for Water-type Pokémon, but here, everything was eerily silent.
Finding it too unsettling, Yuga recalled Lapras and summoned Mismagius.
Mismagius ignited Mystical Fire, instantly illuminating the cave\'s space.
This was the deepest part of the cave, the very place where the Clauncher and Clawitzer families used to live.
However, at this moment, the water surface inside the cave was as smooth as a mirror, showing no signs of Pokémon activity.
Had something gone wrong here after all?
Yuga looked around and suddenly felt a familiar aura permeating the entire cave.
Thump, thump, thump...
Yuga didn\'t have time to ponder further before blue "flowers" began appearing out of thin air, floating gently in mid-air, radiantly blossoming.
"Giggle... giggle..."
Simultaneously, eerie laughter echoed, and those blue "flowers" started to dance through the air.
Yuga was very familiar with this scene to the point that he felt no fear.
Who else but Ghost-type Pokémon could create such a spectacle? Those blue "flowers" were simply Will-O-Wisp.
No wonder the atmosphere here felt so familiar; it was Ghost-type Pokémon. Yuga thought to himself.
Thanks to his King of Ghost ability and daily interactions with Ghost-type Pokémon, Yuga was quite familiar with the aura of Ghost-types and wasn\'t afraid of their mischief.
At that moment, a voice from the system suddenly resounded in Yuga\'s mind.
[ Congratulations to the host for receiving the mission: Reclaiming Home. ]
[ Explanation: Due to the arrival of special Pokémon, the habitat of the Clauncher and Clawitzer families has been taken over. The host once took away some of their fellow clan members, and now, as they face difficulties, they cannot stand idly by. ]
[ Reward: Universal Pokéblock Formula for Ghost-type Pokémon. ]
A long-awaited system mission.
Yuga\'s "golden finger" had a very low profile most of the time, rarely showing any activity. Apart from pretending to dead from time to time.
When he first got the system, he was worried that there would be too many tasks and the difficulty of the tasks would be too great. Now that he looks at it, it is almost a salted fish system.
However, despite being a salted fish system, it had helped him significantly. The YoYo Day Care had reached its current level mainly due to the system\'s assistance.
As for Yuga himself, he was a bit of a salted fish too.
It seemed that the culprits who had taken over the Clauncher family\'s home were the yet-to-be-seen Ghost-type Pokémon.
In the case of system missions, the final reward typically related to the mission\'s content.
This time, they were aiding Water-type Pokémon, yet the reward was the formula for Ghost-type Pokémon\'s Pokéblocks.
That could only mean that the malefactors were Ghost-type Pokémon.
Seeing that Yuga didn\'t react to their performance, these hidden Ghost-type Pokémon grew increasingly agitated. More and more Will-O-Wisp began to appear in the air, swirling around Yuga and Mismagius.
At the same time, the laughter within the cave disappeared, replaced by shrill screams coming from various directions, incredibly piercing and almost rupturing eardrums.
Hearing these screams, Yuga could finally identify some of the Ghost-type Pokémon\'s species.
The Pokémon emitting these screams were undoubtedly Misdreavus, specifically the pre-evolution of Miamagius. Misdreavus is Screech Pokémon were known for their love of pranks, often using their haunting cries to frighten passing humans and Pokémon, absorbing the fear that emanated from them.
Among these Ghost-type Pokémon, if not all of them, there was undoubtedly a substantial number of Misdreavus.
