Chapter 206: Anime Crossover: Pokémon - Starting from Hunter x Hunter Chapter 108

Gengar materialized.

"Gengar!"

The moment Gengar appeared, it made a face at Gon, then patted its large belly, looking very happy.

Because it knew Gon had come to "bring" it benefits, so it followed the custom and "greeted" him.

Since when did Gengar start treating pranks as a form of greeting?

Perhaps it began when it realized it could no longer scare people.

But that applies only to powerful individuals or Pokémon.

For those lacking strength, Gengar's true pranks can shatter one's courage.

"Ho, your Nen beast looks impressive just from its appearance; I can faintly sense a trace of Dead Nen aura."

Gon sized Gengar up and down, his eyes glinting slightly.

After consuming Dead Nen for so long, Gengar had improved, not just in the growth of its aura.

Perhaps due to ingesting too much Dead Nen, the energy within Gengar's body had changed, trending toward Dead Nen.

The Ghost-type moves it uses, such as 【Shadow Ball】, would now be tainted with Dead Nen, making their power even more astonishing.

This trace of Dead Nen would cling to enemies like a parasite on bone, consistent with the normal properties of Dead Nen.

It was equivalent to an alternative burn effect.

But this was not what Gon truly wanted to say.

What he really wanted to say was that this Nen beast's strength was so astonishing!

Gon, being experienced, could gauge its power just from the aura leaking from Gengar, clearly understanding its strength was formidable.

Even if it couldn't defeat him, the gap wouldn't be too large.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Seeing a part through a tube, one gets a glimpse.

If a single Nen beast possesses a level nearing his own, what about the others?!

He remembered Luo Ge had many Nen beasts.

After the Battle at Cat Port back then, he was even called 【One Man Army】 by that Marine Hunter Morel.

If every Nen beast reached this level...

Plus those miraculous items that instantly heal all injuries and their elusive, extremely troublesome abilities...

Gon dared not think any further.

He feared that if he thought any more, Luo Ge would be capable of conquering the Dark Continent.

Luo Ge glanced at Gon with a slightly strange look.

He didn't understand what Gon was staring off into space about.

"No time to waste, let's go."

The moment the words left his lips, both of them stomped the ground simultaneously, shooting straight into the cave like two arrows loosed from a bowstring.

As if voluntarily throwing themselves into an abyss with no bottom.

After the two departed, the outside world returned once more to its usual tranquility.

Inside the cave,

Looking from the entrance toward the depths, visibility dropped significantly; only the faint sound of flowing water could be heard.

Water sounds that would be hard to hear clearly outside were exceptionally loud inside this cave, accounting for one of the only two sounds here.

The other was the footsteps of the two.

Gengar did not walk on the ground.

It floated beside Luo Ge.

Gon was not wrong.

The cave interior was considerably wider than it appeared from the outside, with walkable land on both sides.

Luo Ge and Gon walked deeper along the same bank, stopping simultaneously before they had taken a few steps.

About ten meters ahead of them, a vast expanse of distinct ink-black gas drifted, resembling Dead Nen in appearance.

Although the fine details differed slightly from Dead Nen, suggesting it wasn't the same thing, the two simply chose to call it Dead Nen.

This Dead Nen was like clumps of dormant black mist that would swallow every creature attempting to advance, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Waving tendrils of black smoke, like countless tentacles, eagerly sought to drag people in.

A wisp of chilling breath permeated the heart, as if standing in an ice bath, or as if a basin of cold water had been poured over one's head.

【So, what will it do?】

【Are there conditions that must be met?】

Gon watched Gengar silently, making no rash move.

They had already agreed beforehand that any issues related to Dead Nen would be handled by Luo Ge resolved.

He was more curious.

How would this lively, prank-loving purple "taffy" deal with Dead Nen?

With a single glance from Luo Ge, Gengar stepped forward proactively.

Simultaneously, it opened its blood-filled maw wide, no longer suppressing its appetite, and began to fully enjoy a feast uniquely its own!

A violent wind suddenly rose.

There was no wind in this cave originally, but under Gengar's force, a strong gust sprang up from nothing.

In an instant, countless Dead Nen streams entered Gengar's mouth directly, like young swallows returning to their nest.

No chewing required.

These dead thoughts all turned into sustenance and were absorbed by Gengar.

Immediately, the dead thoughts before the two of them diminished at an extremely rapid pace, suddenly leaving a large expanse of empty space.

Gengar caught a glimpse of the appearance deep within and worked even harder.

The dead thoughts deeper inside were like a pool of mud, covered in pitch-black, viscous deathly resentment, emitting a cold and eerie aura.

It was visible that the deeper the dead thoughts, the higher their concentration, and the greater the benefit they brought to it.

"So it relies on eating?"

"This... actually seems quite reasonable?"

Jin Gang wanted to say it was a bit unreasonable, but on second thought, it seemed quite reasonable.

After all, with such a huge belly, if not used to hold dead thoughts, what else could it be used to hold?

Luo Ge did not know Jin's thoughts; he glanced at the noisy Jin, then shifted his attention back to Gengar.

Almost every meter Gengar advanced, the two of them stepped forward one meter.

It was like a large vacuum cleaner, sucking away every fraction of dead thoughts in the cave, wasting not a single bit.

Accompanying the deepening advance of the two humans and one beast, Jin's mood had shifted from surprise, to shock, and finally to numbness.

Thought-Removers are scarce in number, belonging to the category of "rare species" across the Six Continents.

He had seen Thought-Removers before.

But he had never seen a Thought-Remover like this!

Looking at all those Thought-Removers, which one did not need some time to prepare?

Then, after removing a few weak thoughts, they would need to rest for quite a long time.

Low efficiency.

But generally, they are all like this.

Removing thoughts is not easy to begin with; Thought-Removers' efficiency is not high, and when encountering slightly more thoughts, they can only rely on slow work to produce fine results.

Luo Ge is not like this.

His thought-beast takes a single breath, and that is enough to match the effect of an ordinary Thought-Remover working for a month, or even longer!

Moreover, there is no cooldown time, and no need for rest!

Thinking of this, Jin glanced at Gengar again, finding it still wore a happy expression, as if it was enjoying itself?

Truly seeing ghosts.

Eating dead thoughts actually feels comfortable?

Could it be that this is beneficial to it?

Jin suddenly remembered something.

Previously, he heard that Luo Ge removed the dead thoughts from the Dorok Ruins, but he never heard exactly how much time it took.

So he always assumed that Luo Ge used painstaking effort, combined with not-so-slow speed, to remove the dead thoughts of the Dorok Ruins.

Now it seems, how could it be just "not-so-slow speed"?!

This is clearly extreme speed!

Truly the strongest Thought-Remover!

Seeing Jin's face looking like he was "suffering from constipation," Luo Ge asked curiously:

"Do you have something you want to say?"

He felt Jin had words but kept holding them back.

Just like constipation.

Jin pointed at Gengar and hesitated:

"It..."

"... is quite impressive..."

After holding back for a long time, Jin finally managed to squeeze out the words "It's quite impressive."

Luo Ge could roughly guess a bit, patted Jin's shoulder, and sighed:

"It's fine, you still have 【Golden Spray】, which is not much worse than Gengar."

"Use it freely; once it's used up, I'll take care of it."

"You will give me 【Golden Spray】?"

Jin's face showed an expression of anticipation.

"No, I will make you pay out more cards to me."

Luo Ge said without any hesitation.

Jin:...

As they gradually advanced deeper, a damp, fishy stench grew increasingly intense.

Jin casually pulled out a matchbox, struck a spark in the darkness, and a flame the size of a fingernail continued to burn.

This was not for illumination.

Although visibility was getting lower and lower, under the 【Concentration】 of the two of them, the effect on their vision was not significant.

Jin struck the match to check the oxygen content.

After a period of time, the match gradually went out; the oxygen was still sufficient, enough for the two of them to use.

Luo Ge flipped his right hand, and as if performing magic tricks, produced a yellow incense stick about the size of a fist.

Waves of soft, fragrant scent spread out, pushing away the surrounding damp stench, and the air instantly became much fresher.

【Lucky Incense】: After carrying it, luck value will double for the following period, making one even luckier.

If a Chansey or Blissey carries it while hatching an egg, it will hatch a Happiny.
