Chapter 139 Ghost Ship and Ghost Pokémon
"Land is still the best!"
On the bright beach, Xiaoxia patted her chest; she was still a little shaken.
Because they had just encountered a ghost ship not long ago.
At that time, the sea was shrouded in mist, and the ghost ship that suddenly appeared next to Chenglong startled Xiaoxia.
The eerie, dilapidated appearance was clearly suspicious, and she didn't even dare to open her eyes, hiding tightly behind Xiaozhi.
Our universe's number one beautiful girl is most afraid of ghosts, besides insects.
But just then, Togepi, in his excitement, used his finger flick to teleport to the ghost ship and ran around inside the cabin.
This forced them to board the ship to rescue him.
Originally, only Ash was going up, but Misty was really worried that Togepi would have to come along.
My legs were shaking when I boarded the boat.
Xiaoxia was so cute that Xiaozhi couldn't resist teasing her, which scared her so much that she screamed.
As expected, there were no ghosts on that ghost ship, but there were Ghost-type Pokémon.
It was Gastly and Haunter. When Ash found Togepi using his Aura Sense, the two of them were making funny faces to make Togepi laugh.
Upon seeing the two Ghost-type Pokémon, Misty screamed "Ghost!" and fainted.
She's afraid of ghosts in the Pokémon world; she must have gotten something wrong.
Of course, there was also the reason why Xiaozhi secretly licked her neck from behind to scare Xiaoxia.
"Heh, heh?"
Sensing Ash's powerful aura, the two Pokémon immediately became wary.
"We mean no harm, we're just here to pick up Togepi. The girl who just collapsed is its trainer."
Togepi ran to Misty's side and nestled affectionately against her corpse. (Misty: I'm not dead, you bastard!)
After confirming that Ash wasn't there to hunt them down, the two Pokémon were relieved.
They were talking to Ash, muttering something.
After decisively releasing Suicune and having a conversation with them,
Ash learns that Gastly and Haunter were actually Pokémon from hundreds of years ago.
Their owner was the captain of this ship, and also the champion of the Orange League at the time.
The ship sank in an accident, and their trainer also perished.
Ever since the captain died, Gastly and Haunter have been protecting their master's most prized possession on this ship at the bottom of the sea.
The Orange League Championship Trophy from hundreds of years ago.
However, not long ago, the sunken ship was salvaged from the seabed by researchers from the Orange Alliance.
The trophy was taken away as an important artifact and placed in a museum.
This forced Gastly and his crew to use their powers to control the sunken ship, escape the museum, and steal the trophy back onto the ghost ship.
That's why he asked Ash if they were the ones who came to hunt them down.
This area of water has now been sealed off by official personnel from the alliance.
They also deployed a large number of police officers, fully armed, to conduct a thorough search.
The Union Police Department has vowed to recover the lost artifacts and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The main issue is the theft of several precious cultural relics, which has already sparked public outcry.
But they couldn't even find a trace of the suspect.
Once the higher-ups investigate, a large number of people will suffer, so they are working extra hard.
This is giving Gastly and Haunter a headache, as they no longer want to harm humans.
I only wish to go to a place where no one will disturb me, and to sleep eternally with my master's soul.
"So, as a powerful human who has gained Suicune's approval, we can sense the aura of justice emanating from you, and we hope you can help us escape the League's pursuit."
"That's what they said." Suicune dutifully translated Gastly's cacophony to Ash.
It has to be said, Ghost-type Pokémon that live a long time are truly terrifying, especially when they are telling Ash these things through Suicune.
It also used a strange power to project these things to Ash like a hologram.
Moreover, this dilapidated ghost ship is only able to sail normally on the sea thanks to their abilities.
Is this the power a normal Ghost-type Pokémon could possess? No wonder it's an ancient monster that's lived for hundreds of years.
Ash was itching to catch one too; he really wanted to capture a Ghost-type Pokémon.
As for helping, since the Pokémon hadn't done anything wrong and was so loyal to its owner, Ash wouldn't mind lending a hand.
"I can sense that you are not lying, so I am willing to help you as much as possible."
[Ding! Congratulations on triggering a new side quest "Only a Genius Would Steal": Please help Gastly and Haunter escape the Orange League's pursuit]
[Rewards: 2000 League Coins; 5 Free Attribute Points; 1 Battle Ticket for a Ghost-type Pokémon with whom you have a synergy]
Seeing that Ash agreed, Gastly and Haunter happily took out a bead for him.
"Heh, heh, heh."
"This is a precious jewel that the master often used during his lifetime. He said he was giving it to you as a gift of gratitude for your help."
After saying that, Suicune also came over to admire the red bead.
[Life Orb: When held by a Pokémon, its HP will decrease slightly with each attack, but the power of the move will increase.]
It's a tool that can be used by Pokémon? This is the first time Ash has seen one.
"Generally, gifts are given after someone helps you—thank you for your trust, I'll accept them without hesitation."
After promising to help them, Ash, along with Pikachu and Togepi, carried Misty away from the ghost ship.
With the help of the two Pokémon, the ghost ship slowly sailed back into the mist.
After driving a short distance further, we arrived at a new island.
Ash decided to log in first and then think about how to help Gastly and the others later.
"Speaking of which, what happened to that ship in the end?"
Xiaoxia, who had just changed her clothes on the beach, curiously came over to ask Xiaozhi a question.
After all, she had fainted and didn't know anything after that. When she woke up, Ash had already carried her back onto Lapras's back.
And Togepi was already in her arms.
Just then, Xiaozhi was also having a headache, so he told Xiaoxia the whole story.
"I see, it's actually quite easy to handle."
"Really? Tell me about it."
Unexpectedly, Xiaoxia had an idea, so Xiaozhi quickly pulled her aside to talk in detail.
"The reason those people searched so diligently at sea was because they couldn't find the criminal and were afraid of being seen as incompetent and losing their jobs."
Xiaozhi understood after Xiaoxia reminded him.
"We can just give them a suitable prisoner, and then let the fake prisoner lure them away to other places."
Ash already has a suitable candidate. As long as he says Team Rocket did the sneaky thing, no one will doubt him.
Satoshi immediately used special communication equipment to call Kojiro and the others, asking them to come over and pretend to be criminals.
But to my surprise, no one answered the phone.
"Where did those guys go? Could it be that it's during the airship's operating hours?"
He opened the Rockets' airship business website and was shocked by the news that greeted him.
"Shocking! The airship has wrecked, and the captain, head chef, and two others have mysteriously disappeared!"
Hey, Boss Sakaki! Is it really okay to use such sensationalist language on your own website?
"But did those three idiots really die?" Ash glanced at the status of his subordinates in the system.
"Those three idiots are in very good health—"
Just as Ash was about to use his ability to summon the trio over.
Several screams came from the bushes not far away.
"Hey, who's spraying water like that in broad daylight?"
"Exactly! Don't they have any sense of public decency? I'm a future superstar!"
What should I do if my hair is messed up?
A man with a blue bob and a domineering woman with long red hair suddenly jumped out.
Ash recognized the familiar voices immediately; weren't they Kojiro and Musashi?
Because Ash doesn't waste any time, he'll leave his Pokémon practicing moves next to him even when he's thinking about something.
Unexpectedly, the otter hit Kojiro and his friends when it released its water gun.
Ash recalled his Pokémon and quickly approached them.
"What are you two idiots doing here? Where's Meow Meow?"
"And they were dressed like cavemen."
Is this some kind of predestined fate? I never expected to meet them here.
