Chapter 43: Energy Fragment! Luo Ge's Voice! (1/5, Requesting Data)

Damn it!

How could a gang that doesn't even rank in the second tier have a psychic of this level?!

Although Luo Ge himself wasn't very powerful among psychics, and if truly counted, he was still a third-tier psychic.

However, the special ability he mastered made his combat strength exceed his appearance.

Both immediately felt the urge to retreat, wanting to leave this place and completely abandon this transaction.

"Hehehe..."

Suddenly, a ghostly face streaming with bloody tears appeared before the two; Gastly's pale eyes turned pitch black and lifeless.

Stared at by those eerie black eyes, the two's steps halted, as if their legs were bound with a weight of a thousand pounds, preventing them from retreating.

Normal-type move—Mean Look!

【Mean Look】: Stare motionlessly at the opponent with black eyes that seem to hook the soul.

This prevents them from fleeing the battle.

Luo Bote's younger brother gritted his teeth, suddenly punching toward Gastly; with the moonlight's amplification, his strength was now even greater.

Hoo~

In panic, he unleashed even greater strength, sending out a faint sound of tearing the air.

Gastly seemed to have expected this; the moment the other swung his fist, it entered stealth mode, vanishing from the two's sight.

Appearing without a shadow and disappearing without a trace, like a strange ghost.

Luo Bote's older brother frowned tightly, his voice trembling slightly as he said: "Could this thing truly be a ghost?"

He had originally thought the legend of the ghostly shadow spreading from Manhack City was merely an exaggeration of the facts, never imagining it was actually true.

Luo Ge leaped forward, and his ghost-like figure instantly appeared before Luo Bote's older brother, his eyes gleaming with sharp, cold light.

As the older brother, his strength was clearly inferior to his younger brother's; he couldn't even react when Luo Ge arrived before him.

The younger brother did intend to help, but he was tied up by the suddenly appearing Nidorino.

"Moo!"

Nidorino's horn blazed with purple light, ramming straight at Luo Bote's younger brother; the sound of tearing the air was very piercing.

The younger brother's pupils contracted; he immediately intended to block this strike, his psychic energy surging wildly, when Gastly quietly appeared behind him.

A long, scarlet tongue gave a light lick; immediately, Luo Bote's younger brother's body hair stood on end.

A sensation of stiffness from head to toe spread through his entire body.

Ghost-type move—Lick!

【Trouble!】

The younger brother's alarm bells rang loudly; a panicked expression appeared on his rugged face, and he could only watch helplessly as Nidorino rushed toward him at high speed!

With that poisonous horn aimed at him, his heart went half cold.

As for Luo Ge's situation, it was simple.

"You..."

Luo Bote's older brother had just started to beg for mercy when his right foot was kicked down by Luo Ge, causing his entire body to lose balance and fall.

Crack!

A sound of bone breaking rang out.

Suddenly, his vision blurred; he felt his head twist, lost consciousness completely, and his body crashed heavily onto the ground.

Luo Ge clapped his hands, saw that Nidorino's side was also finished, and nodded in satisfaction.

Taking care of some lousy psychics is still possible; I wonder where these two got the confidence to come here.

They probably used their psychic abilities to sneak through the battlefield; otherwise, this level of strength would be completely insufficient to cross the battlefield head-on.

"Pickup ability activated: Obtained item 【Energy Fragment】"

Oh?

Luo Ge paused for a moment, then realized the Pickup ability had taken effect.

Since the probability of the Pickup ability activating is 10%, and recently he has mostly let Gastly deal with the fodder, he himself has intervened less often.

So this is the first time the Pickup ability has activated.

And when it finally did, it made a huge impact, delivering a heavyweight item right away.

【Energy Fragment】: Use on a Pokémon in critical condition.

It can cure its critical condition and restore 50% of its maximum HP.

In the game, this recovery item could only be described as decent, generally used when fighting powerful NPCs.

But in reality, it is equivalent to giving a Pokémon an extra life.

Although my Pokémon are called psychic beasts, they follow the settings of the Pokémon World.

After receiving a fatal wound for the first time, a Pokémon does not die immediately; instead, it falls into critical condition.

Only if it suffers a severe blow afterward is it possible to die completely.

And once in critical condition, returning to normal requires a very long wait; even ordinary recovery items like 【Potion】 are useless.

At this point, special recovery items like 【Energy Fragment】 can be used to return the critical Pokémon to health.

In a critical moment, he can also use it on himself, which is also equivalent to gaining an extra life.

Luo Ge couldn't help but sigh that the Luo Bote brothers were truly good people.

Not only did they voluntarily come to deliver experience points, but they also brought him an 【Energy Fragment】.

"Hehehe..."

Gastly floated beside Luo Ge, seeming equally satisfied with the two.

After spending these days together, Luo Ge could even judge the degree of Gastly's happiness from its laughter.

Their strength was still slightly insufficient for them, but as Nen users, their inherent power was still far higher than that of ordinary people.

Thus, defeating them granted both Gastly and Nidorino a portion of experience points, evenly split between the two.

"Screech!"
