With the Charizard protecting them, neither the league nor the Rockets bothered them.
The journey continued, and then... they got lost again!
We arrived at an amusement park filled with eeriness.
The swings sway by themselves, the carousel spins by itself, and the slide makes strange noises, like children's laughter.
What kind of hellish place is this?
Serena hid behind Lin Xi, somewhat frightened.
"I've heard that there are real-life Hong Kong ghost stories around here. If you walk through a large forest at dusk, you'll find an old mansion. If you go inside, you'll encounter terrifying events, just like the name of the haunted house. I always thought it was just a legend, but now it seems that it might actually be true."
Ma Xiu said with a hint of fear.
"It's best to stay away from those unclean things."
Tomoko knew that as long as there were ghost Pokémon in this world, there were also demons and monsters, and she had even seen them with her own eyes in Maiden Canyon.
Ghosts and monsters are unknown dangers, and Lin Xi didn't want to get involved. Although he wasn't afraid of trouble, he didn't want to create trouble for himself.
"Rocket Sparrow, look from the air and see which path leads out."
Lin Xi released the Rocket Sparrow, which listened attentively to Lin Xi's command, then flapped its wings and flew away, disappearing without a trace!
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Lin Xi had a bad feeling. Something must have happened to the Rocket Sparrow. Otherwise, with its speed, it would have found a way out of this tiny place in just a few minutes.
"what to do?"
The Citron siblings were already trembling all over.
Even though he's a gym leader, he really can't handle demons!
Lin Xi was at a loss. It seemed that his and Xi Nai's mental energy was being interfered with by an unknown magnetic field, and they couldn't sense their surroundings at all!
Needless to say, Yinhe was even more afraid!
This is the legend of Carlos, told to the extreme by parents: naughty children are sent to a haunted house. Ma Xiu didn't believe it at first, and she still doesn't now, but the Hong Kong Ghost Stories might actually be true.
Lin Xi didn't hesitate at all. Even if there really was a haunted house, and even if there were evil spirits inside, it was best not to cause him any trouble.
The group walked for a few minutes, shivering, and sure enough, they came upon the ancient mansion, which was brightly lit, a stark contrast to the gloom of the forest.
Lin Xi saw a disheveled woman at the window; a venomous glint in her eyes could be seen through her bangs.
"What kind of monster are you? Behold the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"
Lin Xi unleashed her psychic power, shattering the windowpane, but the woman vanished.
Serena and the others were terrified and clung tightly to Lin Xi's back.
Clemont released the Digging Rabbit for courage, but the moment the Digging Rabbit saw the female ghost, it trembled and clung to Clemont's eyes.
As long as Citron can't see, he won't be afraid!
This rabbit is incredibly clever!
A torrential downpour suddenly struck, and with a mansion nearby offering shelter, the perfect option was to go inside.
If Wu Kai wasn't mistaken, there was a kind-hearted person inside who would open the door and invite them in, offer them a hot bath, and prepare a delicious dinner.
Like the White Bone Demon in Journey to the West, who prepared a lavish feast, it was actually made of stones and toads, or perhaps...
As expected, a voluptuous young woman opened the door.
Are you planning to stay in the rain the whole time?
The young woman asked
"If it's convenient, I'd like to stay the night." Lin Xi was skilled and bold, showing no signs of panic.
"Come in quickly, there are plenty of rooms."
The young woman looked at them with a smile.
Lin Xi and the others followed her into the house.
The room was spacious. The young woman pointed to the six towels on the table and said, "You can use the towels to wipe yourselves."
Lin Xi sneered, not revealing her true intentions.
The rain came so suddenly; how did he know it was going to rain, and how did he have exactly six towels? It was as if he knew they were coming.
"Thank you, but no need, I have a faster way."
Lin Xi used her superpowers to evaporate the water droplets on herself and Serena.
A fleeting shadow of gloom crossed the young woman's eyes.
"My name is Jia Hui. May I ask your names?"
After a brief self-introduction, Lin Xi asked again, "Sister Jia Hui, have you ever seen a rocket bird?"
"No!"
Still making excuses
This place is the most eerie within a radius of several miles. If it weren't for the attack, the Rocket Sparrow could easily have moved on with its speed.
Jia Hui denied it, and Lin Xi was at a loss. He wanted to know what Jia Hui was really up to.
"Today has been a disaster. If you don't mind, have some warm food!"
After saying that, Jia Hui went to prepare, giving her no time to refuse.
Six servings of curry rice and milk
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the food was served.
It was just right again.
Lin Xi took a deep look at the food; he dared not eat it. Who knew what it was?
"Sorry, Sister Jia Hui, we don't like curry. I have hamburgers, fries, and fried chicken here, would you like some?"
Lin Xi looked at Jia Hui apologetically, then took out food from her system space and shared it with Serena and the others.
Jia Hui: ....
If you're going to make something up, at least make it believable. It's not like everyone dislikes curry!
Chapter 237: A Pokémon Adventure Turns Out to Be a Ghost Story?
While I was eating, a ghostly figure drifted past the window.
Lin Xi's sharp eyes recognized Gengar.
Was the female ghost a prank by Gengar?
But can that resentment really be conjured up?
"Miss Jia Hui, why aren't you eating?"
Lin Xi noticed that Jia Hui wasn't eating the food she had served, so she mentioned it briefly.
Jia Hui waved her hand and said, "Because I'm already very full."
"Jiahui, your window is broken. My rocket bird might have flown in. May I tour your house and look for it while I'm at it?"
Lin Xi then made a request.
"Sure! Come and have some tea first, then I'll help you look for it. Please wait in the living room for a moment."
After saying that, he turned and left, giving no chance to refuse.
"This house is indeed eerie. The number of towels and the amount of food were both carefully prepared, as if they knew we were coming."
Lin Xi said in a deep voice
"No way, Jia Hui seems like she's trying to be kind."
Citron looked incredulous.
"The tea is ready."
Jia Hui appeared like a ghost, without any warning.
Ma Xiu's hair stood on end. When did she appear?!
The group followed Jia Hui into the living room, where they drank the tea he had prepared. Lin Xi and Jia Hui chatted casually, from travel to dreams.
Lin Xi gleaned information from the conversation: Jia Hui was indeed the only one living there. So where did the disheveled female ghost come from?
Suddenly, the chandelier overhead began to sway. It wasn't really a chandelier; it had no light bulbs, but rather three candles that emitted an eerie green glow.
"I didn't do this!"
Jia Hui's expression was terrified, but her demeanor remained calm.
The look of fear was feigned.
What does he want to do?
The terrorist attacks continue
