Chapter 35: The Three Auspicious Treasures of Lavender Town
#
After a night's rest, Caitlin returned to her lively state again.
This girl is the epitome of heartless.
In order to speed up the journey, Gary and Caitlin did not disembark at Maiden Gorge.
They arrived directly at Lavender Town, a ghost town less than five kilometers away from Saffron City!
Looking at the dilapidated streets, the mist that filled the surroundings during the day, and the looming Pokémon Tower in the distance, Gary couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"This is like a ghost town! Why hasn't the town been abandoned yet?"
Caitlin floated behind Gary and looked around, rubbing her hands excitedly: "It's so exciting~ It's more like a haunted house than Shauntal's boudoir!"
Gary felt that he could no longer suppress his complaints: "What the hell? Why does a girl's boudoir look like a haunted house! And shouldn't people with psychic powers hate ghost-type Pokémon? Why are you so excited?"
"Who said people with psychic powers don't like ghosts?" Caitlin flexibly floated beside Gary with her little hands behind her back: "Essentially, the soul is a collection of spiritual bodies, and psychic powers and ghosts are inherently indistinguishable from each other. Yes~
That's why I played so well with Shauntal, the Ghost-type Elite Four.
But neither Shauntal nor I like that dark guy Grimsley, he is playing evil~"
Gary scratched his head in confusion. So, due to the existence of the Dark type, the Psychic and Ghost Elite Four members of Unova have been exposed to the outside world at the same time?
However, this is in line with the League's style of selecting the Elite Four. The Elite Four of Unova are good at: Fighting, Dark, Psychic, and Ghost!
Fighting restrains Dark, Dark restrains Psychic and Ghost, Psychic and Ghost harm each other... Ghost restrains Fighting~
Although it is not rigorous, it can be considered a complete closed loop. This structure ensures that even if one of the Elite Four has a problem, someone can effectively restrain the other.
"Aren't you going to Saffron City? Why did you turn here?" Caitlin followed Gary curiously.
As Gary walked through the thick fog towards the Pokémon Tower in the center of the town, he explained to Caitlin: "The ghost Pokémon Gastly, the Pokémon of this group have very high potential.
As the resting place of souls, Lavender Town happens to be the habitat of ghosts."
When the two came to the gate of the Pokémon Tower, a strange and eerie smile seemed to echo.
Caitlin looked at Gary: "Then let's go in!"
Gary smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I don't want to suddenly trip or be hit by the chandelier, and my soul will fly out of my body. Come out, Eevee~"
Holding Eevee in his arms, Gary nodded: "Ready!"
"Hey~ I see, your Eevee can see through this skill?" Caitlin suddenly realized.
"That's right~, let's go and play with the ghosts." Gary hugged Eevee and pushed open the door of the Pokémon Tower.
Phew~ A gust of cold wind blew by, and Caitlin, who was wearing thin clothes, couldn't help but shudder: "Although the ghost type is also very cute, it's just that the temperature is unacceptable."
"Haha, think on the bright side, you don't have to turn on the air conditioner in summer." Gary smiled.
The two walked into the first floor of the Pokémon Tower. This is the banquet hall of the entire tower, with a very wide view.
Gary looked at the cracked floor and doubted that he would fall directly into the underground floor if he stepped on it.
The basement where Gastly and the others live is filled with amusement equipment, televisions, etc...
"Caitlin, can you use your psychic power to float us over, and then go directly to the door on the opposite side." Gary pointed to the door of the restaurant at the end of the room.
"Uh-huh, no need to go to such trouble." Caitlin raised her little hand and snapped her fingers.
Kucha! Gary's feet were empty, and when he landed, he was already at the restaurant.
The long table that can accommodate dozens of people is covered with clean tablecloths, and exquisite tableware is neatly placed on the table.
The large chandelier on the roof was magnificent, and Caitlin was speechless for a moment: "It's so neat here...cleaner than Shauntal's house..."
Gary couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Gastly family still has a talent for doing housework?
At the gate of the Pokémon Tower, where Gary and Caitlin were just now, the space suddenly twisted. A Gastly stuck out its tongue and stood there in confusion.
Did those two people just disappear in a flash? Could it be a ghost?
Ah! ! ! Gastly's frightened eyes almost popped out! !
"Gas~" Isn't that right? I'm the ghost~ Then it's okay... Gastly, who was relieved, thought for a while and then chuckled at himself.
Buzz~ A Gengar came up from the ground, picked up a huge white paper fan and shined it at the Gastly, then launched a normal attack.
Snapped! ! Gastly, who was so slapped that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were crooked, flew far away.
"Gengar hee hee hee~" A Haunter appeared next to Gengar, and the two naughty ghosts laughed together again.
"Geng Ga~" Gengar pointed to the restaurant, Haunter nodded, and the two guys became transparent again and floated towards the restaurant.
Caitlin sat on the dining table, dangling her little feet, swaying back and forth in amusement: "Gary, how are you going to call Gastly and the others out? It's been so long and they haven't played any pranks yet, it's so boring~"
Gary showed a sinister smile and took out a ball. It was either a Poké Ball or the kind of toy that Eevee and Herdier usually play with.
"Look at it~ I threw it!" Looking at the position of the gate, Gary directly broke through and threw a standard straight ball.
"Bui!!" Eevee's eyes were shining brightly, its two calves were kicking wildly, and it was about to spread out.
However, suddenly there was something strange in the space, and Eevee's toy ball was suspended in the air.
"Jie Jie Jie~ Bah!" A Gastly rolled its eyes and spit out the ball in its mouth.
Looking at the wet ball on the floor, with even a trace of purple venom hanging on it, Eevee was angry!
"Bui!" The hairy Eevee jumped up and hit the Haunter with a shadow ball in mid-air!
"o(≧▽≦)o Jie hee hee~" Haunter thought Eevee was playing with him, and his figure disappeared again in a flash.
At the same time, suddenly the whole room began to shake left and right, and the tableware on the table flew up.
In the corner, Gengar covered his mouth and was enjoying himself. Scaring people and other things were really fun for him.
The soul Pokémon that have lived for hundreds of years, except for a few extremely vicious ones, such as the painted-skinned Mimikyu, the flower rock monster known as the ghost potted plant, and the scheming Mismagius. Generally speaking, they won't hurt people randomly.
Among them, the Gastly clan is the funniest. They are the second half of the ghost clan. They like to scare people and tear down homes. They have strange brain circuits and can't stand loneliness.
Although there are a few cases of being angered and hurting people, this group of ghost Pokémon is indeed the least hostile to humans. Known as cute, silly and sweet...
Caitlin became playful for a moment, and the blue light shone in her eyes. The entire dining table and tableware were immediately controlled by the overwhelming mental power, and they quietly returned to the place where they were, motionless.
Gengar was still dancing and stayed in place for a while.
Gengar: ("▔□▔)? Gengar? This... I have never failed...
Seeing Caitlin teasing Gengar, Gary was also happy and clapped his hands: "Eevee, see through~ show your face, three auspicious treasures~"
Hey~ Two red lights flashed across Eevee's eyes. In the whole house, Gastly and Haunter, who were making faces in the air, were instantly visible.
Gengar squatted in the corner, drawing circles on the spot. The prank he had always been best at actually failed~
Seeing Gary and Caitlin staring at him intently, Gastly and his gang suddenly came to their senses.
There I go, discovered! !
Haunter, who was so anxious that he was flying all over the place, pulled Gastly to apply oil on his soles.
Gengar turned his head and saw Eevee with "kind" eyes.
Phew! The little guy was unceremonious and bit into Gengar's ass.
"〒▽〒Gengar!!" Gengar suddenly ran around in pain. There is also a hard-working Eevee-chan dragging behind her butt.
The heartless Gastly and Haunter actually had time to stop and laugh at Gengar...
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gary took an appraisal. Three Pokémon from the Gastly series, two elites and one king.
Sure enough, being able to naturally evolve into Gengar, this Gengar's talent is much better.
"Okay, Eevee-chan, let him go." Gary waved to Gengar.
The latter was a little confused, but still dragged Eevee obediently
