The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 60 Achieving the Goal

Lin Ye had guessed that the leader of the Poison Blade Society must have some hidden tricks up his sleeve, and had already made some arrangements for this.

At the crucial moment, ghost Pokémon such as Gastly and Nightwatch suddenly emerged from the shadows of the bushes.

Although these ghosts were not very strong, there were about a dozen of them. At the same time, they launched an attack, which made the Mighty One quite troublesome. He had no choice but to turn around and swing the dark attribute energy he had gathered to disperse this wave of concentrated fire.

Gastly seized the opportunity to vanish in shadow form, while Skarmory charged forward with a long cry.

Machamp didn't feel much pressure facing this "excellent" Skarmory. As long as it was careful of its Flying-type moves, it should be able to defeat it without much effort.

But the next moment, its powerful "Brick Break" pierced right through the Skarmory's gleaming steel body without leaving a single scratch.

When the powerful creature felt no impact from its attack, it was taken aback. Before it could react, the Skarmory's powerful "Swallow Return" struck its chest, causing it to groan and stagger back several steps.

"How is that possible?!"

Before Scarface and Mighty could react, the "Armored Bird" emitted a strange, eerie aura and then clung to Mighty's body like a vengeful ghost, tormenting it with a series of miserable howls despite its strong physique.

"An eye for an eye!"

This is a Ghost-type move that the opponent has never seen before. While damaging Machamp, it also slightly reduces its attack power.

Of course, due to the difference in levels, the reduction effect was not very good, but it still had a huge psychological impact on "Scarface" and Super Strength.

I've never seen anything like this before!

An armored bird that ignores superhuman strength attacks also uses a bizarre move never seen before.

Just then, Lin Ye's Gastly and the other Ghost minions around him stepped forward and surrounded Machamp.

In other battlefield areas, both the Twin Scabbards and the Snow Fairy appeared to have a significant advantage.

The dual scabbards, relying on elemental advantage, had already forced the spiky into a retreat, its injuries rapidly accumulating.

Meanwhile, Froslass was wreaking havoc. As one Pokémon after another fell in the attack, she cleared out the remaining minions faster and faster, and soon she was able to free up her hands!

"We can't delay any longer! Run!"

Scarface, as expected of a gang leader, made a decision instantly.

He threw out several more Poké Balls in quick succession, and the Pokémon that came out, apart from a Finch, were almost all Koffing and Magnemite, and judging from their appearance, they had never received any proper training.

Lin Ye instantly understood his intention. While secretly praising his courage, he also used the necromancer contract to communicate with Zorua, instructing it to intercept the man.

After all, given the latter's ghost-like nature, even if this person used a "self-destruction" method, Lin Ye was not worried about Zoroya being harmed.

However, he still underestimated the man's courage. After shouting the order for everyone to use "mutual destruction," the man also threw the black briefcase he was holding at the same time.

He was gambling that Lin Ye's target might include the charcoal servant in the briefcase!

"Save the box first!"

He made the right bet!

The reason Lin Ye waited until today to make his move was to intercept this little charcoal servant.

Upon receiving the order, the Pokémon all set their sights on the black briefcase.

Zorua and Gastly were closest, but Machamp blocked their way. Although it knew that its trainer intended to abandon it, it still loyally did its best to cover his retreat.

Scyther made the same choice. It gave its trainer a final, complex look before dragging its heavily injured body in a last desperate struggle against the Twin Blades.

However, the determination of the two "loyal generals" did not move all the Pokémon. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the other Pokémon of "Scar" began to scatter and flee without hesitation.

This also gave the Snow Fairy, who had been under constant attack, room to make her move!

She rushed towards the center of the "bomb" Pokémon, accompanied by a howling cold wind, and instantly covered the bodies of those Pokémon that were already emitting white light with a layer of white frost, even slightly delaying their impending self-destruction.

In the blink of an eye, the Snow Fairy had completed the process from obtaining the box to disappearing into the shadows.

The next instant, the gathered Magnemite and Koffing exploded one after another with "bang bang bang~", and the surging and overlapping air waves knocked away and lifted up "professional" Pokémon such as Machamp and Seviper.

On the contrary, Lin Ye's Pokémon were all Ghost-type, so they were not afraid of Normal-type moves that were not much different in level, and they were all unharmed.

Lin Ye, having immediately sprinted backward and lay down, was only slightly disheveled and covered in dust when he got up; otherwise, he was mostly unharmed.

"Eee~~"

A moment later, the Snow Fairy floated over gracefully and handed the briefcase to Lin Ye!

The latter took it, opened it, and saw the perfectly intact "luxury ball" inside, and only then did the weight in his heart finally lift!

At this point, he had achieved all his goals in this battle: he had killed Rod to avenge Zoroa, completely resolved the little fox's inner conflict, and successfully obtained this rare Pokémon—Samurai!

Although the only drawback was that the leader of the Poison Blade Society escaped in the end, almost all of his forces were wiped out.

Having lost two "professional" Pokémon, nearly ten "excellent" Pokémon, and many Pokémon used for self-destruction, the boss of a small gang is practically left with nothing.

If his key subordinates knew his current true strength and weakness, they would probably be thinking of taking his place.

Even if he managed to get away with it by sheer luck, his thoughts weren't about seeking revenge on Lin Ye, but rather about hiding carefully so he wouldn't be caught.

As for Team Lava behind him, they probably don't have time to avenge an agent who has already lost everything. They should be thankful that they weren't abandoned and replaced!

Just as he was thinking, he was suddenly interrupted by Gastly's exclamation. When Lin Ye went over to take a look, he found that it had actually peeled a thin "poison needle" that was emitting a highly venomous aura from the Scyther.

As soon as the previous battle ended, the little bandit couldn't wait to plunder the Pokémon lying on the ground.

However, Pokémon items are extremely valuable, and Gastly searched around but found nothing. Just as it was cursing in frustration, it actually found a "Poison Sting" item on the last Pokémon it searched.

This is a legitimate Pokémon item that can enhance the power and type affinity of Poison-type moves, and it's compatible with Gastly. Lin Ye immediately agreed that Gastly should keep it and wear it, which slightly improved its strength.

In this way, all four Pokémon he had now acquired suitable items.

Then, Lin Ye had a group of ghost Pokémon help clean up the scene, and then rode away on Zorua, which was still in its "Skeleton" form. He waited until he reached a forest further away from Lilycove City before landing and stopping.

Upon landing, Lin Ye immediately took out a Luxury Ball and released a Pokémon with black and red fur, flames burning on its head, that looked like a small samurai. It was none other than Tanjiro, whom Lin Ye had been longing for!

Tan Xiaoshi landed on the ground, looked around blankly, and finally his gaze fell on Lin Ye.

Those eyes, like burning flames, held a hint of curiosity, and then they stepped forward and kept chattering "beep beep beep beep."

Lin Ye couldn't understand languages ​​other than those of ghosts, so he had to "rehire" the snow fairy translator to continue working.

But Xue Yaonu was better off not translating at all. As soon as she translated the first sentence of Tan Xiaoshi's words, Lin Ye almost choked on his own saliva.

"You must be my boss. When is our restaurant opening?"
