Chapter 22 The Demoness's Past
Back in his studio apartment, Lin Ye released Froslass from her Poké Ball.
Before, he couldn't show off in front of Xiaoyao, but now he doesn't have to pretend anymore.
"Froslass, normally the Poké Ball is the basis of the contract between a trainer and a Pokémon, but I have an even better way!"
"Eek~~"
The Snow Fairy tilted her head slightly, indicating her confusion.
But then Lin Ye formed a strange hand seal, and then a strange energy wrapped around his hands, eventually condensing into runes.
"This is a contract spell from necromancy. Don't resist it; accepting it will strengthen the bond between us."
Snow Fairy had a good impression of Lin Ye and had no doubts. Moreover, upon hearing that she would be closer to him, she nodded in agreement almost without hesitation, letting the illusory runes fall on her head.
The next moment, a connection was established between Lin Ye and the Snow Fairy, as if they could communicate with just a thought.
Contract magic is the core spell of necromancers. Unlike temporarily summoning undead creatures, it is a magic that permanently contracts with undead creatures.
However, in the previous magical world, because necromancers were rather cruel and disliked by both humans and dogs, this magic rarely had a place to be used. Unexpectedly, contracting a ghost Pokémon in this world would be so easy.
From now on, Snow Fairy will be Lin Ye's contracted spirit. The two can communicate telepathically, just like they did with Zoroya before, and can even be summoned remotely.
After completing the contract, Lin Ye vaguely sensed the Snow Fairy's feelings, which were a mixture of joy and attachment.
"Snow Fairy, from this day forward, we will be companions who will never be separated!"
"Eee~~"
The Snow Fairy let out a soft cry, happily floated to Lin Ye's side, lowered her head and kissed him, leaving a faint layer of frost on his cheek.
"Gurgle~~"
Solomon was furious. He immediately burst out of the shadows, jumped into Lin Ye's arms, blew away the frost remaining on his cheeks, and then looked warily at the Snow Fairy.
His eyes were filled with regret, as if to say that if he had known this enchantress was so alluring, he would have stopped her from joining the team no matter what.
Lin Ye gently stroked Zoroa, then said to the Snow Fairy, "Can you tell me your story?"
The Snow Fairy was silent for a moment, then a blue halo appeared in her jewel-like eyes. Because of the contract technique, the scene appeared directly in Lin Ye's mind.
On a mountain covered in snow all year round, a group of snow children and ice demons lived together, and the snow fairy was one of them.
It trusted its clan elder, Ice Ghost Guardian, and never approached the village at the foot of the mountain, nor did it have any dealings with the adventurers who occasionally appeared at the snow line.
Those days were peaceful, so peaceful that it thought it would continue like this forever, until one day, a loud explosion almost made it faint.
"It's a Pokémon hunter! Everyone run! Don't look back!" The chieftain's voice was filled with fear.
The entrance to the ice cave where they lived was blown open. Amidst the clamor of voices and the frenzied roars of Pokémon, it saw Houndoom's sharp teeth pierce its brother's body, and saw Magmar's flames melt the walls of the ice cave where they had lived into mist.
Fortunately, it managed to escape in the end.
It doesn't remember how long it ran, nor how many of its brothers and sisters would eventually run out like it.
All it remembered was the constant explosions and screams behind it that day, and then those sounds became fewer and fewer, and farther and farther away.
Although it escaped, it was seriously injured. Fortunately, a kind old lady took it home and gave it basic treatment, which allowed it to survive.
An old lady's cheetah cat tried to befriend it, but it didn't respond. After recovering from its injuries, it quietly left, but it understood that not all humans are bad people.
It wandered alone for a long time, not knowing where to go or what the meaning of life was.
It later learned that the Pokémon hunters who attacked their group that day were an organized gang. They specifically targeted rare Pokémon groups in remote areas and sold them on the black market.
Then one day, in a remote, snowy valley, it discovered a deeply buried stone.
It could sense the dormant energy within the stone, an energy that resonated with a certain longing deep within its soul.
It gently touched the stone, then was swallowed by the light, and eventually evolved naturally.
From that day on, it was no longer the weak and timid snow child. After becoming the snow fairy, it had a new goal: to find those hunters and the people of its tribe who had been captured back then!
It used its Ghost-type stealth ability to go to the black market, saw Pokémon locked in small cages with vacant eyes, infiltrated transport ships, broke into illegal breeding farms, and even fought against some Pokémon hunters.
However, these hunters are backed by a massive organization that cannot be shaken in the slightest by its own strength.
Later, it was in danger during a battle with a Pokémon hunter, but May saw it and saved it.
It felt that May was a very strong and kind trainer, and hoped to accept her training to become stronger.
It's true that Haruka is very strong, and she even gave it the precious "Ice That Doesn't Melt" upon meeting it, which greatly enhanced its strength.
However, although the girl was talented, she clearly preferred flashy and impractical tournaments to training Pokémon for battle.
This displeased the Snow Fairy. Then she met Lin Ye, and she took a liking to the young man at first sight. She could also sense a sense of closeness from Lin Ye.
Then came a series of stories that took place on Mt. Sacred, until they became their own Pokémon.
"I see, I didn't know you, Snow Fairy, had such an experience!"
Don't worry, I will do everything I can to help you, whether it's fighting those hunters or finding your people.
"Eee~~"
The snow fairy floated affectionately to Lin Ye's side and hugged him. Zoroya wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he stopped himself.
"Oh right, besides subduing the Snow Fairy, this is the biggest gain I had today!"
Lin Ye took out the "Curse Talisman" and handed it to Zoroya. The little fox's eyes immediately widened and began to sparkle.
Mid-quality props are something you have to book well in advance, even at Shuijing Department Store, and you need to pull some strings to get them. I never expected to encounter one on my very first trip to Songshen Mountain.
But because of this, he completely offended that "professional" Flower Rock Monster, as well as that old prince Die Shi Coffin.
However, Lin Ye wasn't too worried, since he had already confirmed that necromancy could indeed be used to raise Ghost Pokémon.
By the time we meet again, their strength might have improved by leaps and bounds. Who knows who will cause trouble for whom then!
