Damn! He really became the Emperor of Fengdu!

"According to the Di'an City Urban News, yesterday, a Pokémon riot occurred at the famous scenic spot, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but the situation has now been perfectly resolved..."

"The prompt response of Mr. Anmei, the gym leader of the Mujang Dojo, and Dr. Oak, an internationally renowned scholar, in the early stages of the incident deserves high praise, as it bought valuable time for the subsequent support from the Cynthia Champion..."

"Of course, besides the police officers and trainers fighting on the front lines, the mastermind behind the scenes who anticipated the crisis and deployed defenses deserves equally credit..."

"..."

On the television, the presenter is delivering the morning news in a clear and articulate voice.

On the split screen, the stunning footage of Cyndaquil Champion riding Mega Garchomp, descending from the sky like a god of war and crashing into the battlefield, was played repeatedly.

It feels like its head is pointy...

Bai Zhou's consciousness gradually gathered amidst the news broadcast.

The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, somewhat dazzling, causing him to frown and slowly open his heavy eyelids.

What is this blob of grayish-purple stuff...?

Dull eyes, a wide-open mouth, and a tongue covered in saliva.

(┳Д┳)

"Genga! (Father!)"

"shut up--"

Bai Zhou was ultimately a step too slow and was hit by a tongue lick.

Well, luckily, paralysis was added as well.

A fine electric current coursed through his aching body, and he suddenly felt a sense of despair about life.

"Gengar has been waiting for you to wake up."

A cool voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, came from beside the bed.

Bai Zhou, feeling utterly hopeless, rubbed the Gengar that was still rubbing against his face, and forced himself to sit up.

Only then did I see clearly that Zhu Lan was sitting by the bed peeling an apple.

The apple is peeled, smooth and round.

Under his slightly expectant gaze, Zhu Lan gracefully... brought the apple to her mouth and took a bite.

Bai Zhou: "..."

Seeing Bai Zhou's instantly broken expression out of the corner of her eye, Zhu Lan's lips curled into a sly smile.

"The doctor said your coma was caused by both physical and mental exhaustion, and you need to rest and recover."

She swallowed the apple before slowly asking:

"How are you feeling now?"

"Hmm, pointy head... oh no."

Bai Zhou rubbed his numb lips and answered honestly.

"My whole body feels sore and a little numb."

He stretched his stiff neck and looked at the chubby Gengar wriggling in his arms.

He has always been confident in his recovery ability. He has survived much more serious injuries in the past, so what is a little overexertion of his super strength?

After lying down for ten days or half a month, it will be a good... cough, salted fish again.

He was more worried about this unexpectedly evolved behemoth than about himself.

Logically, Gastly needs to communicate with Gengar to evolve into it, but...

With a thought, he unleashed the appraisal technique.

"Little A's Assistant reminds you: A legendary figure!"

Bai Zhou glanced at the panel and suddenly froze.

?

Is that correct?

Where did you get so many moves from!

Have I been in a coma for a day? This feels like I've been in a coma for a year!

Suddenly, a picture flashed through Bai Zhou's mind of Gastly engrossed in Pokémon, holding the Pokédex.

Its team of six Gengar seemed to be practicing all sorts of moves like crazy every day in the game...

So you learned that from games?!

This is no longer a surprise, it's a shock!

In addition, there's the Ghost Stone Tablet in Gengar's shadow, used to stabilize the alternate dimension, and the army of Ghost Pokémon residing within it...

Doesn't that mean this guy can summon ghost soldiers to pass him by with a wave of his hand at any time?

Holy crap! He's really become the Emperor of Fengdu!

Bai Zhou swallowed hard.

After confirming that Gengar was in good health, I remembered to give myself a check as well.

"Contractor: White Boat"

"Special Ability: Overpowered Force (An incredible composite ability that combines telepathy, combat amplification, and soothing healing)"

"Skills Mastered: Martial Arts Lv.5, Cooking Lv.3, Programming Lv.3, Energy Cube Crafting Lv.1"

"Review: Super Donghuang Person"

"Little A's Assistant reminds you: Doctors all say you are very healthy."

I had just finished looking at the status panel when the system notification came.

"Little Assistant reminds you: Crisis Mission Completed, Rewards: 300 BP Points, Energy Cube Crafting Technology Lv.3 Acquired"

Can't even react!

The sheer volume of knowledge, like a burst dam, instantly overwhelmed his brain's defenses, slamming it to the ground and pounding it mercilessly.

My brain... is trembling.

Throw away the tile!

This is full of pudding!

But little Ah...

Can you please not suddenly give me a reward? At least give me some advance notice!

Bai Zhou almost drooled, a 'well' shape appeared on his forehead, and he was about to criticize the system in his mind...

"If you don't mind."

Zhu Lan's clear and melodious voice rang out at just the right moment, interrupting his thoughts.

With a deft slash of her fruit knife, she cleanly sliced ​​the bitten apple in half, then handed the intact half to Bai Zhou.

Bai Zhou snapped out of his daze and smiled as he accepted the apple.

"Of course I don't mind. It's such an honor to eat an apple peeled by Miss Zhulan herself!"

For Apple's sake, little A, you're lucky this time!

dong dong.

A polite knock sounded on the door.

Professor Oak pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Shiraishu sitting up, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly walked to the bedside.

"Oh my, Bai Zhou, you're awake! It's good that young people have energy, but don't push yourself so hard."

His tone was concerned, then turned serious:

"The Alliance has entrusted me to formally recognize your contributions in this incident. We are very grateful for everything you have done. The relevant procedures are being expedited, and the official awards will be delivered to you as soon as possible."

"That's too kind of you!"

Bai Zhou tried hard to maintain his composure, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up wildly.

The joy of accident!

What a pleasant surprise!

"This is the responsibility of a champion."

Zhu Lan nodded slightly, her tone calm and composed.

"Also, there's something else important."

Professor Oak's expression turned serious.

"Besides expressing our gratitude, the alliance has also entrusted me to inquire in detail about the mysterious organization behind the First Emperor's Mausoleum incident. I apologize for disturbing you while you were recuperating, but the official questions need to be recorded as soon as possible."

"Not at all, of course, of course."

Bai Zhou instantly understood Professor Oak's implication, immediately straightened his back, looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and then hugged the Gengar plushie that was still wriggling restlessly in his arms even tighter.

He had previously asked Professor Oak to report to the League and request support, and this was the moment he had been waiting for!

Let's leave saving the world to the League.

I just didn't expect the league to act so quickly.

"Regarding that organization, the information that Champion Zhu Lan and I obtained during our investigation was relatively limited."

Bai Zhou straightened his back and began to spout nonsense with a straight face.
