[It's not that the person who hit on you is weird, it's that you were hit on, isn't it?] Penguin complained on the side.

[Shut up! Maybe this energetic girl wants to hit on me, using her weird-looking friend as a shield?] Guan Liyuan retorted.

But at this moment, the gloomy girl unexpectedly took the initiative to say, "Is there anything here?" She pointed to where the penguin was.

"Huh? No!" Guan Liyuan directly denied the existence of the penguin.

"No, there must be... You were talking to something here before!" The gloomy girl said affirmatively.

"..."

Normal people would only think that they were talking to themselves at this time, right? They would not easily accept the setting that "there is something here that others can't see", right?

[This guy is really weird!] Guan Liyuan instantly questioned the confidence in his own charm that he had just established...

Isn't it the effect of the charm aura, but the weird aura?

"Sorry! Xiaoyue just likes to talk about these topics, but Xiaoyue never talks much with ordinary people!" The energetic girl explained for her friend.

After that, the energetic girl also briefly introduced herself. Her name was Haruko, and her strange-looking friend was called Xiaoyue...

Guan Liyuan had already roughly understood something at this time. In the Pokémon world, people rarely use their surnames, unless in very formal occasions, otherwise even when introducing themselves, they only say their names. If

the name is only one character, a word like "Xiao" is often added as a title.

In this world, calling someone by their first name is not considered a close name. Even names like "Xiao X" and "A X" can be used between ordinary people. On the contrary, when using surnames, it is a very formal and respectful name...

For example, only large families like Junsha and Joey will emphasize surnames, or people with a certain status like Professor Oak will use surnames as a title.

"Xiaoyue came to see you because of me..."

Qingzi said halfway, and before Guan Liyuan could be proud of his correct guess, she changed the subject: "Because I saw your two Pokémon on the street before... They are Pixie and Gengar! Xiaoyue really wants to be a trainer of ghost-type Pokémon, and ghost-type Pokémon trainers are very rare, and I just happened to see you, so..." Guan Liyuan

suddenly felt weak all over... Don't even mention "Is it because of my charm", this is not because of my own reasons, okay? He was approached because of those two idiots?

"Huh? What's wrong with you?" Qingzi noticed Guan Liyuan's situation and asked.

"Nothing, a little tired..." Yes, tired in the heart.

"You're lying! Although I haven't developed the 'power to drive away ghosts' yet, I can see that you haven't been affected by ghost-type Pokémon! You're very, very, healthy!"

Xiaoyue was not only not very good at chatting, but she also climbed onto the table while talking, and her pale face came close, as if she was about to reveal herself...

Qingzi couldn't help but pull her aside, as if she was worried that Xiaoyue's overreaction would scare Guan Liyuan away!

"Can't I just get tired because of something else?" Guan Liyuan rolled his eyes.

"Oh? Are you still practicing curses or something?" Xiaoyue seemed particularly interested in this topic, although her face still had no expression.

"No... It's not that complicated..." Guan Liyuan said helplessly.

Qingzi apologized for Xiaoyue and explained Xiaoyue's situation...

In fact, Guan Liyuan could vaguely guess that the "power to drive away ghosts" did not refer to the power of "driving away ghosts", but the power of "driving ghosts"!

Of course, it is not that wizards really appeared in the Pokémon world, but a kind of ability that allows trainers to live in harmony with ghost-type Pokémon.

Because ghost-type is also called "ghost-type", it is a weakened version of "Ghost Control Power".

It cannot gain extra favor from ghost-type Pokémon like "Ghost Control Power", nor can it achieve twice the result with half the effort when training ghost-type Pokémon. It can usually only prevent trainers from adverse reactions due to being with ghost-type Pokémon for a long time!

You should know that in the Pokémon world, not everyone can train ghost-type Pokémon. Temporary contact will not have any effect, but if an ordinary trainer happens to capture a ghost-type Pokémon, long-term contact will mostly cause symptoms such as poor sleep quality, heaviness, and lack of energy...

Of course, if the intimacy with the ghost-type Pokémon is extremely high, these symptoms can be avoided, but except for some individual cases, "extremely high intimacy" often requires a long period of coexistence to achieve...

"The power of controlling ghosts" is an ability that requires innate talent to gradually awaken, which is hard to come by for ordinary people.

"The power of exorcising ghosts" is an acquired power. Although it takes more effort and less reward to acquire the "power of exorcising ghosts" than for trainers with corresponding talents to awaken the "power of controlling ghosts", some trainers who are determined to become ghost-type Pokémon trainers still enjoy it.

In fact, the corresponding acquired abilities are also available in other departments...

For example, Nancy's Golden Gym belongs to the "superpower department" gym, and the apprentices accepted in the gym are naturally not all born with "human superpowers", but "superpowers" acquired through learning in the gym.

After listening to Haruko's explanation, Guan Liyuan also understood a little bit why Xiaoyue's personality is so strange! After all,

if you practice "superpowers", it will be similar to exercises from "concentration" to "breaking spoons with telekinesis", and if it is "the power to drive away ghosts", you will inevitably have to frequently come into contact with some strange rituals...

After a long time, people's personalities will also be affected by them.

But first of all, ordinary people with normal personalities, if they are not born with "the power to drive away ghosts", will not want to become ghost-type Pokémon masters!

"So... Xiaoyue wants to talk to me about the training of ghost-type Pokémon?" Guan Liyuan confirmed.

If this is the case, although Guan Liyuan is a little disappointed, he will accept it, and by the way, he can also ask the two about the Cerulean Gym.

"No, compared to ghost-type Pokémon... I would like to discuss with fellow enthusiasts some issues about the activation of the 'power to drive away ghosts'! Since you also have the fairy-type Pixie, you are not born with the 'power to drive away ghosts', right?" Xiaoyue's expression gave people a gloomy and terrifying feeling even when she was talking about normal topics.

Fairy-type, also known as fairy-type.

"As for the power to control ghosts... it shouldn't be that." Guan Liyuan said.

"I've learned a lot of training methods online, but I'm still a little short of it. I can ask you for advice!" Xiaoyue always felt like she was cursing when she spoke.

"This... is a bit difficult. My ability is indeed not the 'power to control ghosts', but it is not the 'power to drive away ghosts' that I trained after birth. It is another kind of innate ability that I am not sure about, so ghost-type Pokémon have no effect on me." Guan Liyuan said.

Xiaoyue seemed disappointed when she heard this and said, "Sure enough, I feel that guys like you are not likely to be able to train 'power to drive away ghosts'."

"I'm so sorry!" Guan Liyuan said awkwardly.

[What do you mean by "guys like you"? This guy really can't talk! ]

"I'm going to the bathroom." Xiaoyue said and "floated" away.

And Qingzi immediately put her hands together and apologized to Guan Liyuan: "I'm really sorry! Xiaoyue rarely communicates with other people, so... she doesn't mean any harm!"

"It's okay, by the way, are you from Hualan City?" Guan Liyuan asked.

"No, we are from the Johto region, and we want to challenge the Kanto Division of the Quartz League... But we have been in Cerulean City for half a year, you can ask me any questions." Qingzi said.

"Challenge the Quartz League? Then you must know the situation of the Cerulean City gym?"

"Cerulean gym... Which one do you want to ask? But for now, I don't recommend challenging the Cerulean gym..."

Qingzi's words made Guan Liyuan, who originally just wanted to get a brief understanding, pay attention.
