"It's not easy to gather a large number of Pokémon in a closed tower. Fortunately, the interior of the Tower of Heaven originally had a cemetery, and there were countless wild Pokémon that fed on the thoughts left by the living. ”

On the fourth floor of the Tower of Heaven, in the midst of chaos, the crystal lamps and fire spirits crowded each other, like a sparkling blue-purple ocean.

Although they were already on the field and were affected by the "earthquake", when the opponent could not continue to pursue, they immediately recovered from the panic and immediately launched a new round of attacks on the old builder who was in crisis.

At the same time, countless more Pokémon continue to appear, rushing out of the cracks in the floor tiles like a raging flood, rushing to the source of the "earthquake" -

The direction of the red-faced dragon and Adik.

There are countless wild elves dancing wildly, including almost all kinds of ghost and superpower Pokémon near the Tower of Heaven.

Candlelight Spirit, Lamp Ghost, Crystal Lantern Spirit, Little Gray Monster, Daewoo Monster, Dream Eating Dream, Dream Eclipse, Single Egg Cell Ball, Double Egg Cell Ball, Artificial Cell Egg, Weeping Mask, Death Coffin, Goth Baby, Goth Child, Miss Goth, Clay Puppet ......

Among them, the number of ghost-type Pokémon is unusually large.

It seems that wherever the cemetery is, thousands of sacred souls are buried.

Detective Hugo's words continued to come through the communication device that rolled down the corner, revealing his own method of setting traps-

"There was a study done by an elf doctor in the Hoenn region who was keen on fieldwork: when we are on the road in the wilderness, there are always a few wild elves with stupid heads and brains, and it seems to be a natural phenomenon that wants to jump out of the grass and attack humans. However, if you investigate the entire lawn, how many wild Pokémon will actually exist in the grass?

"Doctors from the Hoenn region have conducted further research on this issue, and the final data shows that there is always a fixed ratio between the rate of encounters in the wild and the total number of wild spirits. If the number of elves observed in an hour is used as the benchmark for the chance of encountering enemies, the number of enemies encountered in the grass on the outskirts of the city is generally one-tenth of the total number of organisms in the vicinity. In a dense forest, the ratio is thirty to one. Contrary to common sense, the seemingly clear ocean hides an even greater number of Pokémon, with an astonishing ratio of fifty to one. ”

Detectives who like to elucidate the way things work gurgle and explain -

However, while the Doctor examined almost all kinds of biomass in various environments, he hit a wall with one type of Pokémon. That's the ghost-based Pokémon that haunts the vicinity of the supernatural place.

"The Doctor tried his best to get all the elves in such a place, but unfortunately found that the total amount of life in the paranormal place could not be measured at all."

How many ghosts can stand on the tip of a needle? How many wild supernatural type Pokémon can be hidden in an empty haunted house?

No matter how many ghosts and ghosts he gathered, as long as the supernatural atmosphere still reverberated in that space, those ghostly spirits who possessed the ability to stealth and pierce walls, and who were forever elusive, would still appear out of thin air in the closed room one after another at an extremely slow speed. Even if the Pokémon who serves as an assistant uses special skills such as "Wall of Light" and "Magic Space" to completely seal the room, it still can't stop the phenomenon of such wild elves appearing out of thin air. ”

As the detective talked, the Crystal Lantern Spirits had defeated the old builder who had no backhand, and instead joined forces with the other wild elves to deal with the red-faced dragon that was still struggling to survive.

As the champion of the United Nations, Mr. Adik was the first to reduce the number of players, and the score of the remaining elves on both sides returned to a 4-5 situation.

This should have been something to celebrate. Hugo, however, ignored the situation on the battlefield at this time, as if it were just an inconsequential trifle, and continued to immerse himself in his speech—

"Although the doctor's fieldwork fell short in the final link, after a long period of observation, he still deduced a very interesting conjecture, that is, the wild Pokémon in the spirit state may be dormant in a sleeping form in a supernatural place, and there will be no physical collision between dormant spirits, and a small secret room can theoretically bury countless spirits of the spirit-type ghost-type elves."

According to the doctor, the eerie haunted house is more like a fertile ground for Pokémon than an ocean surrounded by fish. It's just that this abundance does not come from the abundant resources in the site, but from the ghostly elves who have come to sleep in the haunted house from generation to generation.

"These kinds of Pokémon have their own way of spending their lives, and the length of time means nothing to them. These ghost-based Pokémon may appear on a whim and wander in the dark and be subdued by passing trainers; It is also possible to cower between the cemetery and the ancient pagoda, sleeping for days, months or even more than ten years. The older the monument, the more ghostly Pokémon inhabit it - in this nearly 500-year-old complex, the true Sleeping Elves are as large as you can see. Day after day, they remain spiritual, dormant and silent like air, hovering between death and survival, waiting only for an opportunity......"

"You've explained so much, but what exactly did you use to awaken the elves in these towers at the same time? And how did you command a wild Pokémon of such a scale at the same time? ”

Adek's angry questioning voice sounded, asking the doubts in Alice and Wanlong's hearts.

On the field, Double Duoduo Ice was re-lined by Mr. Champion. The "blizzard" that could cover almost the entire audience reappeared, suppressing the surging wild spirits.

In addition, the unconscious builder was retracted into the Poké Ball, and the red-faced dragon, who no longer had to think about rescuing his companions, was also much more relaxed, and could once again devote himself to the battle.

The situation of the battle was calmed back, and in the midst of the anxious stalemate, Adek's side began to reduce the number of hostile elves little by little, and Mr. Champion had time to interrupt the detective's speech.

However, the detective's response gave Adek the feeling of being punched in the air.

"Command? I've never commanded these wild Pokémon. In fact, I don't even know exactly what the battle is going on in the four-story arena right now. Except for a command of the little flame monkey in the middle, it was all the elves on the field who played their own games. ”

The voice on the phone said.

"But that's probably what it should be, right? As long as a group is assembled, there will naturally be intelligent individuals emerging from among them. Probably this kind of wild spirit played a key role in taking the lead and causing problems for Mr. Champion in the battle, right? You really shouldn't underestimate the insight that comes with a long lifespan, even though these Pokémon spend most of their time sleeping. ”

The detective chuckled to himself.

"Are you just freeing them up?"

Adek's face was thoughtful, and then he objected—

"No, there is still a contradiction. Why do these Crystal Lamp Fire Spirits only attack me, but let your little flame monkey hide in the flames of the candlestick for a long time? Why are these Pokémon attacking me in two batches? It should not be possible for such a phenomenon to occur when there is no one to direct it. ”

"On the contrary, it's the way it goes. Just by considering the distribution of wild Pokémon in the Tower of Heaven, as well as the ecology of each of these Pokémon, it is natural to deduce what will happen to the elves after they are gathered on this level. ”

Hugo in the communicator replied.

"The Crystal Lantern Spirits are the largest species of creatures in the Tower of Heaven, and in the wild, these elves keep themselves burning by sucking souls, and will eerily shake the flames on their arms to hypnotize their opponents - a bunch of outright predators. When other Pokémon see such a group of dangerous guys gathered, they will naturally be scared to hide in all directions, and if they don't have time to run away, they will find a place to hide until they are frightened by the bombardment of the "earthquake" and have to show their bodies.

"And the remaining crystal lamp fire spirits will naturally continue to stay in the fourth layer of the Tower of Heaven, hiding the light of the fire, and quietly chasing the prey scattered around."

In the face of a large wave of crystal lantern spirits, no matter what kind of trainer they are, they will subconsciously use a range attack with powerful destructive power - such as "earthquake". In this way, the second wave of demons is inevitable.

It's so simple and straightforward, and that's why the Adik Champion had to fend off the Wild Elves twice head-on.

"As for why the little flame monkey was not attacked, it is even more of a trivial matter. This morning, the little flame monkeys and I had to use a lot of insect repellent spray for various reasons, and the smell is still on our bodies to this day. Therefore, when the little flame monkey crouched alone in the dark four layers of space, there would be no crystal lamp fire spirit willing to brave the smell of spray to attack it. ”

The detective continued to chuckle and said—

"Later, the little flame monkey took the initiative to throw himself into the fire of the crystal lamp fire spirit, and the stench on his body was completely dispelled by the flames, and at this time, the crystal lamp fire spirit was even more unlikely to harm my elf. Because the purpose of these ghost overlords attacking elves was originally to absorb the energy of the other party to keep the flame burning, and now that a little fool has thrown himself into the fire, there is no need for those troublesome handling work...... As a result, the little flame monkey successfully hid in the blue firelight. ”

"You still haven't explained how you woke up all the Pokémon in the tower. Are you a psychic person with the ability to awaken ghosts? ”

Synthesizing the information from the past, Adek came up with what seemed to be a logical reasoning.

"No, no, no, how can there be such a strange constitution in the world." The detective goes out of his way to deny it.

"Actually, the way to wake up these Pokémon is also very simple."

On the same night that the detective's assistant, Miss Blue, solves a bizarre case that happened in a children's preschool and receives a message from her boss, Hugo asks the United Champion lightly-

"I wonder if you've ever heard of a special item called 'Dream Smoke'?"
