"Are you sure you can succeed?" Kikuko asked in disbelief.

There are very few things that can make Kikuko say this.

"Theoretically, there are no loopholes, right?" Guan Liyuan asked back. "

I'm not saying whether it will work 'theoretically', but... are you sure you can communicate with ghost-type Pokémon without using Poké Balls and make sure they listen to your commands? Ghost-type Pokémon... are not as honest as water-type Pokémon in the sea!" Kikuko confirmed again and again.

"I still have confidence in this!" Guan Liyuan said with certainty.

Kikuko rarely changed her cold expression and looked at Guan Liyuan with a scrutinizing look, but Guan Liyuan always smiled confidently. He didn't feel guilty because of his previous big talk, nor did he shrink back because of the look of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto"...

Well, it was as if the one looking at him was not Kikuko, but a silly hippo with an innocent look.

"As expected of you, 'A Beauty That Can Make Fishes Sink and Geese Fall'... Well, I'll wait for the day when you can 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade'! If you can succeed, I, a half-baked ghost trainer, will be your consultant." Kikuko said.

Guan Liyuan's eyes lit up when he heard that and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the King Kikuko to take care of it."

Although Kikuko is a "half-baked" ghost trainer and the "Number One House in the World" doesn't need any consultants at all, the brand of "Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto" is quite impressive. Kikuko herself obviously doesn't really mean to be a "consultant", but just lends Guan Liyuan a tiger skin.

But the premise is that Guan Liyuan's "plan" can really succeed...

Not for anything else, but just for Kikuko's dream when she was young!

Why is Kikuko obviously the king of poison, but many of the Pokémon she trains are ghosts? Especially Gengar, who is both poison and ghost, is her trump card?

It is precisely because Kikuko did not believe in evil when she was young and was determined to become a ghost-type trainer. As a result, due to her lack of talent, she became more and more unable to do her best, and even showed signs of premature aging, which laid a solid foundation for her current "cold face".

She could only gradually begin to compromise, transitioning from the ghost type to the poison and ghost types, and gradually returning to the poison type she was good at, and finally became the poison type king!

That's why Kikuko strongly opposed Xiaoyue's training of her ghost-type talent!

In fact, Kikuko has always had regrets in her heart...

and if what Guan Liyuan said is true, perhaps her regrets will not be repeated on Xiaoyue! Guan

Liyuan's plan, to be frank, is actually very simple, that is - to open a haunted house.

That's right, it's the "haunted house" that is a torture project in many amusement parks!

Guan Liyuan's goal is to turn "The World's No. 1 House" into an amusement park business model, cultivating a large number of Pokémon on the vast land outside Cerulean City, and then sending the selected and open Pokémon back to the "amusement park" built on the site of the old gym in the city...

And the Pokémon who want to get the "World's No. 1 House" mainly need to enter the "amusement park" to participate in various projects. In each project, there are various Pokémon participating in various forms. During this period, Pokémon will also select trainers. Some Pokémon who cooperate with trainers in entertainment projects for a short time may find trainers that meet their needs!

The charging method of "The World's No. 1 House" will also be admission tickets, project tickets, and after the Pokémon is willing to follow the trainer, the final fee will be charged according to the individual situation of the Pokémon...

Of course, according to the degree to which the Pokémon likes the trainer, discounts can be given, and even if the Pokémon is very close to the trainer and the other party has no money, it is also possible to buy on credit first.

Guan Liyuan is planning to design one of the projects into a "haunted house"...

This was a tip from Xiaoyue's experience not long ago, and Guan Liyuan asked Zhizi to rush the work!

Guan Liyuan's "haunted house" does not require any technical content, only a large, dilapidated castle with a gloomy atmosphere, and all the "special effects" are provided by ghost-type Pokémon.

Why can such a suicidal thing as "haunted house exploration" stimulate the awakening of acquired ghost-type training talents?

First, it is because the atmosphere of the haunted house will temper the trainer's will, and second... and most importantly, if there are really ghost-type Pokémon in the haunted house, while being frightened, they will adapt little by little!

Just like leveling up and fighting monsters, you will be "injured" every time, but you will gain experience points and slowly increase your level.

In addition, there is the rarest situation, that is, the haunted house is real, but the ones inside are not ghost-type Pokémon but real "ghosts"!

That is, after the extinction of intelligent creatures in the Pokémon world, there is a very small probability that another existence different from "living things" will appear, the other side of the creatures in the Pokémon world...

Whether this existence really exists in the world, there is no definite evidence, but there are indeed many ghost trainers who have developed abilities after birth, and they have said that they helped some dead people, fulfilled their last wishes, and sent them to the afterlife, and their ghost power was transformed into themselves.

In the animation, there are also "ghosts". Xiaogang was fascinated by the female ghost that Gastly turned into. Although it was proved that a series of supernatural events were caused by a thousand-year-old Gastly, in the end Gastly talked with the real "female ghost", indicating that it did not want everyone to forget the existence of "her", so it would do something next year.

As for the game... There are too many "there is a hand behind you" ghost stories in Lavender Town, and even in the "theorigin" version of the animation, the plot of Lavender Town ghost stories was added.

Therefore, Guan Liyuan is not surprised that Pokémon has "ghosts".

However, real "ghosts" are too rare. Even haunted houses with real ghost-type Pokémon are rare. Most of them are just rumors.

Guan Liyuan decided to use ghost-type Pokémon to build the largest "haunted house"!

When the time comes, the real "One Hundred Ghosts Night Parade" inside, a trip down, it is estimated that the harvest is greater than finding ten real haunted houses... Of course, if I can't help but run out halfway, I can't blame others, anyway, the ticket is not refundable.

And many ghost-type Pokémon have the habit of teasing people for fun, like Xiaoyue's dream demon... It is not impossible that they will fall in love with it after being scared.

If you are scared badly, you may get the favor of the ghost-type Pokémon inside. If there is a special situation like Xiaoyue and her dream demon, you can become a ghost-type trainer in advance...

Guan Liyuan told this plan to Kikuko.

Kikuko thought Guan Liyuan was crazy at first... or seriously lacked common sense!

He emphasized to Guan Liyuan with a stern face - a captured ghost-type Pokémon is useless even if it scares people!

The reason why ghost-type training abilities are "scared" out is that when ghost-type Pokémon scare humans, it is actually the manifestation of the ghost-type power affecting the spirit, but this influence is very small... It is a bit like an infinitely weakened version of "tongue licking".

Ghost-type Pokémon that have been captured by humans have half of the human breath on their bodies. Although humans cannot feel it, wild Pokémon can feel it... The same half of the breath will also greatly reduce their "scaring" and the effect of improving the trainer's talent.

And what if the captured ghost-type Pokémon is released from the Poké Ball contract, and it is a wild Pokémon, forcibly pretending to be a haunted house?

In theory, it is possible... But you have to know that most ghost-type Pokémon are famous for their moodiness. Without the relationship of capture, the spiritual connection between the trainer and the Pokémon will be much weaker. Maybe one day the Pokémon will be completely wild and can't be found!

This situation is particularly likely for the moody ghost-type.

Even if there are very few trainers who have a ghost-type Pokémon with overflowing intimacy, they will definitely train it as a trump card, and it is impossible to waste it in the "haunted house". Moreover, how can the effect be compared with Guan Liyuan's "One Hundred Demons Night Parade"?

Therefore, Guan Liyuan predicts that once the "haunted house" opens, the whole Kanto... no, the "weirdos" from all over the world will gather in Hualan City.

According to Guan Liyuan and Tomoko's estimation, as long as each person is limited to entering the haunted house once a week, it is enough to allow humans to recover naturally and offset the mental damage caused by the "haunted house" every time.

After all, Guan Liyuan's contracted Pokémon will not intentionally hurt others. It is just a necessary stimulation. As long as it is not in the "haunted house" for a long time, it can completely heal itself...

And even once a week, for Xiaoyue, it will increase the training efficiency several times and dozens of times!

Although it is limited to improving the trainer's resistance to the side effects of contact with ghost-type Pokémon during capture and training, and cannot effectively improve the training effect, for a "weirdo" like Xiaoyue, the attraction can be imagined.

Just take Xiaoyue as an example. It is estimated that she can basically adapt to the side effects in one month and start her real journey as a ghost trainer. As for how to improve the efficiency of training ghost Pokémon, it depends on her. Of

course, Xiaoyue's perseverance is not shared by everyone, so the degree of efficiency improvement is also different. That's why Guan Liyuan said that "all those who dream of becoming ghost trainers with real perseverance" will realize their dreams...

And what Kikuko was worried about at the beginning was whether Guan Liyuan could conquer a large number of ghost Pokémon with a pure heart without using Poké Balls. Guan

Liyuan is of course confident about this!

After returning to the celebration banquet, Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask, "What did she say?"

The others also looked over curiously.

Although the words were concise, Guan Liyuan could understand them and answered directly, "Nothing, Kikuko wants to be the ghost consultant of 'The World's No. 1 House'." "

..." Everyone looked at Guan Liyuan with a speechless expression, as if to say: Can you make up a more convincing lie?

But Guan Liyuan was not interested in everything. Only Xiaoyue's eyes moved slightly, noticing that Guan Liyuan was talking about "ghost consultant"...
