Chapter 150 Ghostly Appearance
"That's it!"
Seeing Raven like this, the old king sighed helplessly.
He also owes his youngest son too much... In that case, let him teach Raven how to be a qualified king and how to govern a country well!
The old king made a decision in his heart.
-
Three hours later, with the help of Victini, Raven left Earthsword Castle and, just as quietly as they had arrived, departed from Eindook.
“Bictigini, aren’t you going to stay with your father?” Raven asked.
“Nini…” Victini shook his head, then his tone became even more determined: “Nini!”
It seems that Raven needs its help more now. Anyway, now that it has Dragonite, it can come back anytime it misses the old king!
"All right!"
Raven took a deep breath; he could naturally understand the old king's meaning.
The other party began to teach him the ways of a ruler, perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps to lend him a helping hand. In any case, it was a great help to Raven.
Raven wanted to invite the old king directly to Raven City, but was refused.
"If I leave rashly, I will only alert the enemy. The time is not yet ripe. You should try your best to avoid being exposed. Don't worry about me. Before the war begins, what you need to do is develop your own power as much as possible and wait for the right time."
"Reshiram and Zekrom will bring devastating damage to this land. Your eldest and second eldest brothers probably won't use their power unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Father only hopes that you can promise me one thing: if you win in the end, Father hopes that you can spare your eldest and second brothers."
At that time, the old king pleaded with Raven in this way.
Raven snapped out of his thoughts and sighed silently in his heart.
We've arrived in Raven City.
Dragonite landed in the courtyard, and Raven had just gotten off when he heard Elif's voice.
"Your Highness Raven, where did you just go?"
“I just went to see my father.” Raven asked, “What happened, Elif?”
"You've returned to the capital?!" Elif exclaimed in surprise. "So soon?!"
"This is the power of Dragonite," Raven said with a smile. In fact, if he wanted to, he could fly to the Johto region right now and bring back dozens of Miltank to raise.
With the large milk tank, there will never be a shortage of milk in the territory, and his people will grow stronger under the influence of the nutritious Moo Moo milk.
Unfortunately, the world is too big, and even the most knowledgeable merchants in the territory do not know the exact location of the capital region.
"The power of the magical beasts is too amazing...!" Elif murmured in shock.
However, he soon remembered his business.
“Your Highness, someone in the territory reported today that they have been seeing ghostly figures wandering the streets late at night for the past few days!” Elif said.
"A ghost?" Raven was slightly taken aback.
Elif nodded: "That's right. There's been a lot of panic these past few days, and many people are afraid to go out at night."
Upon hearing this, Raven immediately became interested.
That's an interesting thing.
Is Ghost... a Ghost-type Pokémon?
He could have left this matter to the Knights or Anna, but considering it might be a Ghost-type Pokémon, Raven decided to go and see for himself.
"Understood. Summon the first person to discover the ghost to come see me." "Yes, Your Highness!"
Not long after Raven arrived at the city hall office, Eriff led in a slightly thin man who was about 1.75 meters tall.
"Your Highness!" John seemed to be encountering this situation for the first time. He did not expect that Prince Raven would receive him directly, and he appeared extremely flustered for a moment.
“Don’t be nervous. When did you see the ghost? Where was it?” Raven asked.
John replied nervously, "It was a pitch-black night, around two or three in the morning. I was sleeping when I suddenly heard a sharp, laughing sound coming from outside the door."
"I initially thought it was just some kid playing a prank, and I was about to go outside to check when I saw a ghost floating in mid-air on the street!"
At this point, John's expression turned utterly horrified as he exaggeratedly described what he had seen that night.
"It was covered in a chilling black cloth, and its mouth was wide open; that was definitely not something an ordinary person could do!"
"Wearing a black cloth?" Raven raised an eyebrow and asked, "And then?"
"Then I was so scared that I fainted," John said, blushing slightly and looking rather embarrassed.
Raven: "..."
“However, Your Highness, for the next few days I could hear the ghost’s cries every night at that time! But I didn’t dare go out, and it seemed like it couldn’t get into my house either…” John said, scratching his head.
It's strange. If that ghost wanted to harm him, why didn't it come into his house?
"I understand." Raven had a general idea in mind and nodded, "I'll go check it out tonight."
"What? Your Highness intends to go and help in person?!" John was taken aback. This is unacceptable! He was just an ordinary citizen; how could he trouble His Highness?
“No need to worry, I’m just a little curious about that so-called ghost,” Raven said. “You go back first, I’ll go check it out tonight.”
“Yes!” John replied quickly.
After he left, Raven pondered for a moment, then said to Elif, "Elif, go and investigate what John has been going through these past few days."
"As ordered, Your Highness."
The loyal old steward went out to gather information.
This was originally the job of intelligence personnel, but now that there is a shortage of manpower, Raven has to do the work of two people.
*
At three in the morning, in the dead of night, the pale moonlight poured down on the streets of Raven City.
A creature nearly 0.7 meters tall, with a gray-black body, looking as if it were draped in a black cloth, quietly emerged from the darkness.
It has a pointed horn on its head, two large eyes on its face, no feet, and moves in mid-air in a floating posture.
Its destination was none other than the house where John lived.
"That Pokémon is... Spectrum?"
Raven was somewhat surprised.
Gloomydoll, a Ghost-type Pokémon, is most fond of emotions like resentment and jealousy. It is attracted to feelings of jealousy and resentment, and will eat these emotions as food to become stronger.
If someone becomes jealous, the vengeful doll will be attracted and hang under that person's eaves.
It's rare to see the Pokémon Gloom during the day because it's only active at night.
When the night is deep and quiet, the Shadow Doll will wander the streets in search of resentment and jealousy.
Unlike Lidl and Chandelure, which drain the life force of humans and other Pokémon, Spectrum consumes negative emotions such as resentment and jealousy.
For some people, they are very precious.
