Chapter 53: The Ghost Strikes the Wall

"What's the origin of this cookie? I felt that the Shadow Doll was really excited just now. ”

It took a while for Tomoki to regain his composure under the influence of Luo's heroic act of "calmly retreating from the enemy".

"This cookie was given to me by Juko-sama, and she said that the higher you go up the Pokémon Tower, the fewer wild Pokémon there are, so that if you can't find a suitable cultivation opponent after reaching the seventh layer, you can take this out. Anyway, Kikuko-sama's statement, no ghost-type Pokémon can refuse the smell of this cookie. ”

Luo honestly told the secret of his victory over the enemy. "Brother, do you want a bite?"

"Forget it, I'm not going to grab food with Pokémon." Tomoki's head shook like a rattle, "Kikuko-sama asked me to learn how to defeat my sister with you, it can't be this, right?" ”

Hearing Tomoki's question, Luo couldn't help but start to doubt this possibility. After a while, he dispelled this thought, after all, Juzi is an old person, and it is unlikely that he will make such a joke with the two juniors.

So he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, Juzi-sama is far-sighted, we just need to listen to her old man's words, don't guess here." If you follow you, follow it honestly, watch and study hard, and you won't suffer a loss if you keep it. ”

Tomoki didn't get the answer he wanted from Luo, and he wasn't in a hurry, anyway, he had already made up his mind to take a good look at Luo's true level during this trip to the Pokémon Tower. So he took out the medicine that Luo had given him from his bag, first restored the Shadow Doll to its best condition, and then continued to walk forward with Luo.

Because he was teased by a wild ghost for a long time in the first battle, Tomoki felt embarrassed, so he tried harder to prove himself in front of Luo. And the battles that followed did not have any more accidents, and all of them were beautifully won.

Tomoki's skill set for the Shadow Doll is "Piercing" and "Shadow Attack" can easily take out the wild ghosts, and in addition to that, Lo also sees his other Pokémon: the Night Watch.

The Night Watcher has a white mask resembling a human skull, with a pointed top and a bottom shaped like three teeth, with two large eye sockets in the center, revealing a black body and a red eye. There are two white marks on the back that resemble femurs, and the hands are short and always close to the back, making a hunchback movement. The feet underneath the body are cloud-shaped, allowing them to stand on the ground or float in the air.

The Night Watch's defense is excellent, but its attack is insufficient. Although they also defeated the wild ghosts after a confrontation, they looked far less neat and tidy than the Shadow Doll.

Yuki only called the Night Watchman out to let Luo see his Pokémon other than the Shadow Doll, and rarely let the Night Watchman take action along the way, except for the occasional time when the Shadow Doll rested. After all, the Night Watch's combat method is to confuse the opponent with strange light, and then repeatedly use the shadow to sneak attack to consume the opponent's physical strength, and the richness of the routine is not even as good as the first ghost that the two people encountered, such a battle is both protracted and unskillful.

Through his own observations, Luo found that Tomoki had a total of three Poké Balls hanging from his waist, but he only used the Shadow Doll and the Night Watch repeatedly during the battle, and he didn't know if the last one was too weak to participate in the battle here, or if Tomoki kept it in his hand as the last trump card.

Luo didn't ask this question, anyway, he followed Yushu all the way, and sooner or later he had to use any means. As he walked, he suddenly thought of another question, and asked Tomoki, "Why is the third floor of this tower so much larger than the first and second floors, even if we take a long detour, we should have found the entrance to the fourth floor after walking for so long, right?" ”

"Big brother, have you ever heard of ghosts hitting the wall?" Tomoki replied, "The Pokémon Tower covers an area of only one mile, and the first and second floors are considered normal, and it only takes less than 10 minutes to walk across the tower. But after reaching the third floor, due to the effect of dead air, the trainer will only keep wandering around the tower. Moreover, the environment in the tower is constantly changing, and it is in vain to make marks or draw maps. ”

"So we can only rely on complete luck to find the entrance to the fourth floor?" Luo was blinded for a moment, and he didn't expect that there was such a setting here.

"No one can do anything about this. The Pokémon Tower is full of lifeless energy, and wild ghost-type Pokémon slowly regain their strength through this dead air. But the alien trainers need to face the wild Pokémon in a constant stream, and there is not enough time for their Pokémon to absorb the dead air here. Later, in order to cultivate for a long time, a group of elite trainers set up a magic circle on the fifth layer that was most suitable for their cultivation to help Pokémon quickly absorb death qi. ”

Speaking of this, Tomoki's expression was full of helplessness. "Last time, I originally wanted to rush to the fifth layer in one go, and then use the magic circle to cultivate. Although the strength of the fifth layer is very reluctant for me, as long as I go up, my strength can always improve slowly. As a result, I ran out of medicine on the fourth floor and couldn't find a staircase to the next floor. ”

"And how did you get down?" Luo asked puzzled.

"It's easy to go downstairs, close your eyes and count to three, and you'll find yourself at the gate of the Pokémon Tower."

Amazed by this, Luo couldn't help but continue asking, "How long did it take you to find the entrance to the fourth floor last time?" ”

"Almost a day." Under Luo's expectant gaze, Tomoki replied slowly, and then added, "Some people walked out of the third floor in less than a minute, and some people stayed on the third floor for more than a month, and finally vowed never to come to this ghost place again." I'm kind of lucky. ”

Hearing this, Luo seemed to have grasped some key point, but he couldn't say it clearly for a while.

Yuki wasn't in a hurry, anyway, the battle on the third layer still improved his Shadow Doll and Night Watch, and he didn't mind staying here for a few more days when supplies were sufficient.

Luo wanted to hurry to the place where he could show his skills, but unfortunately he couldn't find any good way in a short time.

So the two continued to walk forward casually, Yuki was responsible for solving the ghosts that appeared on the road, and Luo watched without saying a word. Before you know it, the day has passed.

After a day of observation, Luo found that Tomoki and his Pokémon were growing fast.

Following the tactics of "screeching" + "shadow sneak attack", Tomoki has newly developed a "ghost fire" + "disaster is not a one-way line" package for the resentful shadow doll. The advantage is that the power of "Misfortune is not alone" is higher, and it can deal enough damage even on the higher levels of the Pokémon Tower; The disadvantage is that the speed of the "ghost fire" is slightly slower, and it may be dodged by the ghosts.

The Night Watchman still continues the attrition play of "Strange Light" + "Shadow Sneak Attack", and it doesn't seem to have changed. However, the duration of the battle is getting shorter, which can reflect the fact that its attacks are getting stronger.

Luo can feel that the level of these two Pokémon of Yushu has increased a lot, and if he successfully finds the entrance to the fourth layer and puts some pressure on Yushu, maybe they will be able to evolve soon. He became more and more curious, what was Tomoki's third Pokémon?

At this moment, Luo suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he couldn't help but yawn.

"I'm sorry, I haven't slept for a day, I'm a little sleepy." Luo said to Tomoki, "You haven't rested for a long time, why don't we take turns taking a nap?" ”

Yushu shook his head: "Big brother, have you forgotten, close your eyes for three seconds and go out directly." ”

"It seems so, but if so, how did those who stayed in the tower for a month do it?"

Seeing that Luo asked this question, Tomoki picked up the Poké Ball that he had never used.

"Come out, Wind Chimes."

To Luo's surprise, Tomoki's last Pokémon was not a ghost-based Pokémon, but a superpower-based Pokémon that was restrained by the ghost-based Pokémon.

In fact, there is nothing incomprehensible when you think about it, after all, Tomoki said that his family lives in the Fengyuan area, which is a rare habitat for wind chimes.

"Noisy!"

Jingle bell ~ jingle bell ~

With Tomoki's command, the wind chimes make a crisp ringtone, sweeping away Luo's tiredness.

"The sound of your wind chimes is so nice." Luo couldn't help but praise.

When Wind Chimes heard Rowe say this, she suddenly shyly slipped into Tomoki's arms, her long streamer-like tail wrapped around his arm.

"When I was very young, it was a bell, and it has been with me ever since, and the Shadow Doll and the Night Watch were my companions before I set out."

Tomoki introduced Raku while stroking the head of the wind chime. "The sound it makes is always crisp and pleasant, and even when you use the skill of noise, there will be no noise."

"The bell ringing evolved into a wind chime bell with a high level of intimacy with the trainer, so it's no wonder it looks so close to Tomoki. It's just not clear how its combat power compares to the other two Pokémon of Yuki? Lowe thought to herself.

However, Tomoki didn't give him a chance to see the strength of the wind chime, and after playing with it for a while, Tomoki put it back in the Poké Ball and continued to set off.

And as soon as they set off this time, the two of them saw a familiar face.

Although in the eyes of trainers, wild Pokémon of the same type all look similar, it is difficult to distinguish the differences between individuals. But this ghost really left too much impression on Luo and Tomoki.

Seeing him stick out his tongue and make a funny grimace at the two, Luo suddenly knew what the point he had found in Yuki's words before, and he quickly grabbed Yuki, who wanted to step forward and be ashamed.

"Don't be impulsive, our 'luck' is coming."
