I was resurrected and became a Ghost-type Pokémon Master.

Chapter 276 Giving Up and Choosing

Gengar gripped the Cursed Doll by the back of its neck, its red eyes revealing great confusion.

Then it looked at Gui Hai: "Kou Jie?"

"How do we deal with it? Ask it what it wants to do? Why does it want to follow us?"

Gui Hai looked up at the sky, his tone calm.

The Winged Owl flew high in the sky, carrying its two sworn brothers, Crocodile and Cyndaquil, for a ride.

Its white feathers were speckled with brownish spots, and its grass-green bangs swayed slightly in the wind.

His eyes were squinted into crescent moons, so you couldn't see them at all.

Two leaf-shaped feathers form a small bow tie.

This makes the Touhou Projectile much more mature than when it was a Woody Owl.

As the breeze blew past their ears, Fizz and Cyndaquil envied their brother's evolution, and both had a clearer direction and goal for growing up.

Upon hearing Ghostsea's instructions, Gengar immediately began communicating with Cursed Doll.

The more we talked about Gengar, the more surprised we became.

Finally, he glanced furtively at Guihai, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Although Guihai kept his eyes on the three little ones in the air, he also paid some attention to Gengar and Cursed Doll.

I now understand why the cursed doll abandoned the Wheel of Destiny to come find me.

This cursed doll wanted to become stronger, so it chose Destiny as its trainer.

But the cursed doll wants more than just to become stronger.

What it also wants is that sense of belonging, like a home.

This is related to its transformation from an abandoned doll into a Pokémon.

It felt this warmth from itself and the Winged Owl, so it abandoned the Wheel of Destiny to find the Ghost Sea, hoping that it could help it.

That's right, it shouldn't be said that Sucarpal gave up the cursed doll.

Before he released the cursed doll, the cursed doll had already given up on the cycle of rebirth.

Guihai felt that this cursed doll, which had chosen its own trainer, deserved great respect.

At the same time, I also became interested in this Pokémon.

“You don’t understand me, just like you followed that guy without understanding him. So I suggest you think things through before making a choice.”

Ghost gestured for Gengar to release the cursed doll's neck.

Hand it a bottle of healing medicine and earnestly communicate with this cursed doll.

Upon hearing Gui Hai's words, the cursed doll assumed that Gui Hai did not want to take it in, and its mood became slightly depressed.

"Uh-huh."

The cursed doll's mouth was sealed with a zipper, allowing it to utter only one or two indistinct sounds.

However, Oni-kai could understand what it was trying to say.

"Don't worry, I don't want to get rid of you. I just want to give you more opportunities to make choices."

Here's what we'll do: for the next two days, you'll work for Gengar and in return, you'll get food and shelter for that time.

During this time, you can observe me and the trainers around me, and then make a careful choice.

The cursed doll looked at the ghost sea, its two red eyes shining like crystals.

Ghost Sea gave Gengar a look.

The chubby boy immediately understood.

He took the healing medicine from Ghost Sea and helped the Cursed Doll heal the wounds it sustained in the battle with Wood Owl from behind.

I wasn't used to the cursed doll at first.

However, he was quickly surrounded by a large group of little guys.

Gengar also explained the precautions for taking care of the child to it with a serious expression.

This still relatively weak cursed doll picked up the baby bottle in a daze.

Seeing the Cursed Doll and Gengar busy at work, Guihai smiled and said, "If only we could live like this forever, without having to worry about so many unpleasant things."

Zoroark and Oni-kai stand side by side.

Zorua, with its snow-white fur except for the purple tips, perched on its shoulder, just like when Ghost Sea had Mimikyu with it before.

"But after a long period of calm, we will crave passion and battle again."

"Besides, trainers, now is not the time for us to stop."

Oni's smile deepened, as if Zoroark had hit the nail on the head.

"Indeed, it's not time for us to stop yet. We'll prepare for a while longer and then continue our journey."

......

The next morning.

Alliance Conference vs. Battlefield.

Guihai had a Mimikyu on each of his shoulders, making him look like he had three heads.

With the time announced precisely on time.

The Pokédex has received today's battle draw results.

"I hope to meet a dojo master-level dojo master. Not only can I train some Azure Blade Demons and Dragonki, but I can also finish the battle sooner and go see Zhuang Qi to learn about the Sword Source Kingdom."

Guihai muttered to himself and opened the encyclopedia.

Then a name came into his view, turning his expectant expression into a strange astonishment.

"Looks like I can go straight to my appointment after the match."

Guihai tossed the Pokédex into the shadows and rubbed his cheek against Mimikyu's Pikachu costume: "Let's go, it's our first match again."

As Guihai entered the arena, the audience watching the match became excited.

For no other reason than that.

The trainers in this battle are all very strong, making them worthy of attention and cheers.

Across from Gui Hai, a man dressed in a somewhat antique style smiled and greeted Gui Hai: "Prosecutor Gui Hai, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we would run into each other at this time."

"I didn't expect that either, but it's good this way, at least we don't have to wait for each other anymore."

The man smiled, as if to say something more.

The referee, however, had already activated the protective barrier and raised his flag, announcing loudly.

"Players are in position."

"This match features a trainer from the Eastern Alliance's Beyond Tower against a trainer from the Sword Source Alliance's Sword Leaf Town, Zhuang Qi."

"The battle rules are one-on-one, and the player who defeats all six of the opponent's Pokémon wins."

"Both players, please release your Pokémon."

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhuang Qi threw out the Poké Ball he had prepared beforehand.

"Go, Greatsword Demon."

Zhuang Qi's Poké Ball opened.

A Pokémon with entirely blue skin, limbs and head covered in thick carapace, and a long horn on its head resembling a sharp sword appeared on the field. The Greatsword Ghost turned to the Mimikyu on its left shoulder: "You go."

Mimikyu touched Guihai's cheek with the head of its Pikachu costume, then darted off and landed in the center of the field.

"Battle begins!"

"Greatsword Demon, test the waters with Water Cannon."

Zhuang Qi launched a preemptive attack before Gui Hai gave the order.

Upon receiving Zhuang Qi's command, the Greatsword opened its massive mouth, and dense water vapor rapidly condensed in front of it, then transformed into a water column as thick as a bucket, rushing towards Mimikyu.

"Mimikyu, use your Substitute to dodge, then use Swords Dance to boost your power."

Upon hearing this, Mimikyu immediately left behind a doll-like clone on the spot, while its main body hid away and used Sword Dance to enhance its abilities in a concealed location.

Seeing that the water cannon only hit Mimikyu's Stand, Zhuang Qi guessed that Mimikyu itself was hiding and strengthening itself.

He immediately ordered the Greatsword Demon: "We also enhance our abilities, Sword Dance!"

Several phantoms of longswords immediately appeared around the Great Sword Demon, and his aura slightly increased.

Just as it was about to be completed.

Suddenly, a ghostly fox figure appeared above the Greatsword Demon's head, its black claws resembling the scythe of death.

It reached for the Greatsword Demon's neck...
