The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 42 Young devils shouldn't be so arrogant

Lin Ye had spent two and a half years navigating the magical world and considered himself quite knowledgeable!

But when Gastly took him to the abandoned building where they first met and scanned the inside with his psychic powers, he was still shocked!

Below a staircase, dozens of ghost Pokémon floated, including Gastly, Spectraldo, Nightwatch, and a few Misdreavus and Lidcat.

They were lined up in three rows, each one standing tall and proud. Of course, most of them didn't have much of a chest, but their serious expressions gave them a certain air about them.

On the steps in front of them, a Gastly was floating in mid-air, delivering a passionate speech.

That Gastly looked ordinary, with a purple, misty body, large eyes, and a signature ghostly smile on its lips.

But at this moment, its eyes gleamed with excitement, a glint of wildness in them.

"My lords!"

Yes~~

Dozens of ghosts responded in unison.

"What are we for?"

"bandit!"

"What are we going to do?"

"robbery!"

"Great! You're full of energy!"

"Ugh, this is the Gastly. Isn't it wild!" Gastly said helplessly.

"Hmm~, indeed~, I never thought there would be ghosts who would describe being a bandit as something so glorious."

"And it looks really tasteless." The snow fairy covered her nose with her long sleeve in disgust.

"In all my years, this is the first time I've seen robbery described with such righteous indignation. This is no ordinary criminal organization; we must crack down on them!"

Zorua asked cautiously, "Master, do you still intend to tame it?"

"Of course we want him! How can we not subdue such a genius and keep him around for Halloween? Let's go, let's go meet this bandit leader."

…………

Gastly, who was giving a speech, suddenly paused, and then all the ghosts in the room turned their heads to look in the direction the speaker was staring at.

A human approached with a squinty expression, looking relaxed and carefree, completely disregarding these ghosts.

Just as the ghosts were about to retaliate, they saw a snow fairy floating beside the newcomer. They couldn't discern her level at all. There was also a white-haired Zoroia and a strangely colored single-edged sword sheath, all of whom were very powerful.

Although a trembling Gastly still lingered behind the humans, that one was no longer important.

"It's you~, you've brought reinforcements. I never thought you'd collude with humans."

"Hey, hey~, have you forgotten what you just said? The phrase 'colluding with each other' is more fitting to describe your group," Lin Ye retorted.

"Huh? You humans can actually understand us? That's a once-in-a-century sight."

"He not only understands what we're saying, but to tell you the truth, this big shot is really powerful. You'd better release our brother as soon as possible!" Gastly said, trying to intimidate us.

Gastly glanced at Lin Ye, then at the Pokémon behind him, its gaze lingering on Froslass for a moment before its tone became serious:

"Professional level! No wonder you dared to come~ Feed~ What are you doing here, a human? Don't delay my meeting with the King of Ghosts to discuss my grand robbery plan!"

Seeing Froslass's "professional-level" strength, Gastly was clearly wary and dared not make a move easily.

Lin Ye, however, remained calm and composed. He slowly walked to the edge of a step, casually sat down, and said:

"You, a Gastly that hasn't even evolved, dare to call yourself the King of Ghosts and hold some kind of robbery oath-taking ceremony. That's pretty arrogant."

"Of course! How can we cultivate team cohesion, inspire fighting spirit, and accurately grasp the industry ecosystem without team building activities!" Gastly said confidently.

"Huh? You even know about 'team building'? Did you learn about human knowledge, or are you a Pokémon that escaped from a trainer's clutches?"

"Hmph~, it's none of your business. No human being in this world is even born yet who's qualified to subdue me! Speak your mind!"

"That's great! I love your temper!"

Let me be frank: Gastly came to me saying that you captured its two brothers, so please release them for my sake.

Also, from now on, you and these kids will all follow me. It'll be much better than you kids trying to do things yourselves on your own."

Gastly's expression suddenly changed, but he glanced warily at Froslass and didn't immediately attack, suppressing his anger as he said:

"It's not that I don't respect you, but Gastly has its brothers, and I, Gastly, have my friends too."

If Gastly has any complaints about this, then it should come and tell me itself.

Also, my brothers and I have already found a way to make money, so you don't need to worry about it.

"Hey, don't push your luck! When my brother was in the underworld, you hadn't even formed a soul yet. What are you? What kind of attitude are you putting on here?!"

With Lin Ye backing him up, Gastly became bolder and spoke with more confidence.

However, the Gastly on the opposite side didn't even glance at it, and charged straight at Lin Yedao:

"Human, I respect you as a strong trainer, so I'll let it slide today because you trespassed on my meeting space. Now, leave!"

"You little ghost, I think your soul form has only recently taken shape, you're still a young ghost. I advise you, young ghost, not to be too arrogant," said the single-sword sheath!

"What kind of young man isn't full of vigor?!"

Perhaps seeing that Lin Ye was determined to cause trouble for him, Gastly could no longer suppress his anger and launched an attack.

His figure suddenly blurred, and then a surge of black energy appeared behind him, revealing an even larger black shadow that was exactly the same as his original form. It charged straight at Lin Ye with terrifying ghostly resentment, intending to carry out a decapitation strike right from the start.

"Goodness, you came straight at me, that's pretty ruthless. I'm really starting to admire you more and more."

"Peng~~"

The single sword sheath, enveloped in "pitch black" sword light, slashed horizontally, easily breaking through the "Night Shadow" attack, and then directly blocked in front of Lin Ye, sealing off any possible sneak attack from Gastly.

At Gastly's command, all the imps it had gathered sprang into action, launching attacks from all directions to overwhelm Lin Ye and create an opportunity for him.

The next moment, the Snow Fairy gracefully stepped forward, her "professional" aura suddenly erupting. The chilling aura she emitted instantly froze several of the closest ghosts, frightening them into retreating with her own power.

Seeing this, Gastly's face turned pale. It had not yet reached the "professional" level, so it only realized that it had underestimated the difference in combat power between the two sides when Froslass actually made her move.

But at this point, the die is cast and the arrow must be released; moreover, it was the other way around, so it's unlikely that reconciliation will be possible.

But something unexpected happened: Lin Ye actually raised his hand to signal a ceasefire.

"I can give you a one-on-one chance. If you win, I'll leave immediately; if you lose, you'll come with me."
