This time, Hu Yang aimed to utilize his identification ability at the booths during the gold rush.
However, he wandered around for a long time without encountering anything useful.
In desperation, he could only return to school first, planning to come back and explore when he had time.
By the time he returned to school, the department store staff were unloading items from the van, including Machamp.
"All your purchases are here," said a staff member in a hat.
Hu Yang glanced at them and, after confirming that everything was in order, carried the items back to his room.
He started by replacing the bedroom lights with Charizard chandeliers that Axew likes. Then, he spread Roselia's favorite rug next to the desk so that a few Pokémon could roll around while he reads.
Following that, he arranged the Rest dens on an empty floor in the following order:
Cramorant – Roselia – Gengar's Orb – Axew
Finally, he placed the dolls they picked, letting them hug Rest.
Hu Yang couldn't rest with Roselia and Axew since falling asleep might lead to poisoning from Roselia's head thorn. Axew's sharp teeth could also pose a risk of injury.
So, Hu Yang could only interact with them while awake, avoiding their teeth and stingers.
He's already quite cautious, especially considering his experience with Slugma. Trainers who have subdued Slugma avoid touching them, as they can cause burns.
Although Slugma and Regice are the only Pokémon in the anime that cannot be touched by humans, Hu Yang can hold Cramorant while it rests, and of course, Gengar, if Gengar is resurrected.
Especially in summer, Ghost Type Pokémon's bodies have their own air-conditioning cooling effect, making it comfortable to rest with them.
Hu Yang stared at Gengar, examining it closely.
Gengar noticed this strange look, turned his head, and asked, "…what do you want?"
Hu Yang replied, "I was thinking about how to bring you back to life…"
The warning from Rika not to approach the forest had been given just six hours before he left her behind.
Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, Hu Yang sneaked into Petalburg Woods with the invincible Cramorant and a few Pokémon.
With Gengar leading the way, they soon reached the place where they fought the Litwicks last time.
"Can you decipher that Gengar's illusion?" Hu Yang asked.
Gengar shook its head, displaying a rare solemn expression, and said, "It's very difficult to deal with."
Hu Yang frowned thoughtfully.
Recalling the encounter with the Totem Gengar, he realized that though he didn't know its exact strength, it could sense the situation in the forest and had a special ability similar to Psychic Pokémon's teleport.
Finding the mansion on his own seemed almost impossible. According to Phoebe's experience, the Gengar wouldn't open the mansion to humans.
There was only one way.
"Mr. Gengar, I have a way to get rid of those Ghost Type Pokémon in the mansion. Shall we meet?"
"Gengar-sama, Lord Gengar, can you hear me talking?"
Hu Yang started shouting in the forest at the top of his voice.
Gengar: "…"
Cramorant: "Gah?"
No use?
The moment the idea was born, Hu Yang felt as if his soul had been ripped out of normalcy, and his face blurred.
But soon, that feeling disappeared.
When he turned around, he saw a gloomy and dilapidated mansion behind him and the Totem Gengar that was several sizes larger.
Totem Gengar's eyes were blood red. Although the appearance was the same as the last time they met, for some reason, Hu Yang always felt that its aura was a little weaker.
"What way?" Its eyes were fixed on Hu Yang, and it communicated with telepathy.
Hu Yang said, "Send them to Spirit World."
Spirit World is the final destination of human souls and Ghost Type Pokémon. In the setting, Dusknoir is the gatekeeper of the Spirit World, and it sucks the souls that have nowhere to go into its elastic body, taking them to the Spirit World.
Afraid that Gengar wouldn't understand, Hu Yang continued, "Dusknoir has the ability to open the entrance to Spirit World."
Although he said this, Hu Yang also knew very well that not every Dusknoir has this ability.
This Totem Gengar also seemed to know something about Dusknoir, so it pointed that out right away.
Hu Yang said, "I can find someone to help with this matter. You should have seen her."
This "her" refers to Ghost Elite Phoebe. Phoebe wanted to resolve the mansion incident but was turned away because she didn't show her intentions.
Gengar wants to send these Ghost Type Pokémon into the Spirit World but can't get out of here. His purpose is just to know the status of his Gengar, so he doesn't mind being a middleman, introducing Gengar and Phoebe to each other.
Hearing this, Totem Gengar's mind immediately went to the girl who was wandering around in the forest not long ago.
It said silently: "What do you want?"
Hu Yang shook his head, looked towards Gengar, and said, "I just want to know, what is its current state? What's the matter, is it dead?"
Totem Gengar, upon hearing this, glanced at Gengar and said, "It is not dead. What is here is only its 'spirit'."
Hu Yang was stunned for a moment: "Spirit?"
Totem Gengar: "The Gengar race does not have the real body of ordinary Pokémon. Their bodies are composed of two categories: 'spirit' and 'body'."
"According to your human beings, it should be said that it is the soul and the body. The soul leaves the body and cannot touch the real world, and the body leaves the soul and cannot pass through ordinary matter."
"Just bring its soul next to its body, and it will return to normal."
It's just that unlike humans, Gengars can freely merge and transform between these two states.
Therefore, they want to pass through walls, they pass through walls, and they want people to meet and see, so that people can touch and see.
Hu Yang and Gengar looked at each other.
"So, it's your body that attracts you in that ruin?!"
Totem Gengar's three sentences made Hu Yang fall into a burst of unexpected ecstasy.
"I…I don't know…" Gengar was stunned before it noticed. It doesn't seem to remember something.
Hu Yang is very excited. He has been haunted by this lately, even thinking about it all the way back from Lavaridge Town. How to find Ho-Oh and pull its fur.
Then next, it is the task of how to get back Gengar's body.
But before that, he has to notify Phoebe about this.
