Chapter 1156

"Are you okay?"

Phoebe looked concernedly at All Baimu, who was in a daze.

No response.

After a full few seconds, he finally came back to his senses and said, "I'm fine, just got scolded."

"Scolded?"

Phoebe didn't understand.

Who scolded him here? Who would dare scold him?

All Baimu rubbed his temples and explained softly, "Simply put, when I touched the Red Orb, I was discovered by Groudon."

Phoebe: "???"

The Red Orb can directly contact Groudon? Why hasn't she encountered this situation?

Although she didn't touch it every day, touching it every few days was inevitable.

Facing Phoebe's confusion, All Baimu didn't know where to start explaining; he also felt confused.

Intuition told him this matter was highly likely related to the Gnosis.

The triggering conditions for the Gnosis are—focus and contact. He happened to meet both just now, so somehow he used the Red Orb as a medium to connect his mind with Groudon's.

Why would Groudon want to open up to some unknown guy? Naturally, it angrily blasted him out.

Regice was absolutely right; rashly using the Gnosis on an unfamiliar Mythical Pokémon is very dangerous. Phoebe pulled her hand away very quickly, but it still made All Baimu feel as if his soul was in a magma hell.

It's hard to imagine what the consequences would be if he kept touching it...

Not to mention what would happen to him, a world-shaking battle in Hoenn would be inevitable.

Whether it's Aggron and the others, or Calyrex and the others left at Mt. Silver, they don't seem like Pokémon that would reason.

"How about... you try touching the other one?"

Phoebe held up the Blue Orb and brought it to him.

All Baimu waved his hand quickly, "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to offend two at once."

"I see."

Phoebe showed a look of disappointment that made him ashamed.

This girl probably also wanted to experience being scolded by Groudon and Kyogre, otherwise why would she be so active?

All Baimu watched her put the orb back and suddenly thought of something.

【Grass-Green Orb】.

He remembered that in "HeartGold and SoulSilver," Professor Oak would give it to the player to capture Rayquaza at the Embedded Tower.

He didn't know if this thing existed in the anime world.

Should he ask Hoopa to help find it?

Talk about it when there's a chance.

All Baimu and Phoebe left the shrine; Mt. Pyre remained as calm as if nothing had happened.

Groudon's roar was only on the mental level and couldn't affect the real world...

Right?

He hoped it wouldn't get "waking up on the wrong side of the bed" because of this and run to the land to cause chaos; that would be a huge sin on his part.

Might as well go to the Sky Pillar!

All Baimu prepared to see if his dear Dragon God Rayquaza was there to give it a heads-up.

Unfortunately, there was no trace of the Shiny Rayquaza; compared to the Dragon God Rayquaza, he was more familiar with the Shiny Rayquaza—they were old acquaintances who could peek into each other's past memories.

Sigh.

He didn't know where it was gnawing on meteorites right now.

All Baimu drank tea, missing his encounter with the Shiny Rayquaza.

In the evening.

After enjoying the Mt. Pyre specialty cuisine made by Phoebe's grandmother, the two began preparing for the late-night operation.

"We have to be careful; Grandmother doesn't like me always running to the Spirit Realm." Phoebe warned All Baimu in a low voice while putting on the medium's battle robe—

A color-changing tube top and long skirt.

She also handed him a paper hat with candles attached to both sides.

"This is a Spirit Hat. As long as you light the candles and wear it on your head, the evil spirits of the Spirit Realm won't be able to see your living aura."

"What should I do if I accidentally get spotted as a living person?"

All Baimu wanted to know how to handle emergencies.

Hearing this, Phoebe patted his shoulder earnestly, "Just tell your Pokémon not to hit too hard."

All Baimu: "Oh... huh?"

The girl spread her hands helplessly. "Please, I'm a professional medium! And you also have powerful Ghost-type Pokémon, how could you possibly encounter danger in the Spirit Realm!"

The truly dangerous ones are actually those evil spirits.

Most of them act on instinct and wouldn't care if Phoebe and All Baimu were Champions.

But in that case, they would have to get beaten up.

Phoebe didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble; besides, the Spirit Realm belongs to evil spirits, and living people entering is the intrusion.

Therefore, the Spirit Hat is less about protecting All Baimu and more about protecting them.

All Baimu: "..."

Don't say, it makes a lot of sense.

The Pokémon world is always a world dominated by Pokémon. Humans use black technology when they are alive to suppress them, but after death?

It's good enough not to be sucked dry like bubble tea.

Many Ghost-type Pokémon feed on negative emotions, and evil spirits happen to be rich in negative emotions.

"Gengar~ Gengar~ Gen~~ gar!"

Shiny Gengar was doing push-ups on the side to calm its restless heart.

It couldn't wait to accept the power of the Spirit Realm!

Come on!

Let the storm rage more fiercely!

The invisible Dragapult looked down at it, thinking that even though nothing had happened yet, why was it acting like it was already within reach?

The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment, brother!

The socially anxious dragon considered itself quite an authority on having bad luck; it had a faint premonition that Gengar would have a hard time getting its wish.

But it didn't say it.

Just as Dragapult thought, nothing had happened yet.

It's fine if the bad omen doesn't come true, at most it becomes a clown; what if it does come true?

Thinking about how it would be hard to continue getting along with Gengar in the future (they didn't get along much anyway), Dragapult awkwardly dug out a three-bedroom apartment with its translucent tail in advance.

——

Inside Mt. Pyre.

It is divided into five levels from top to bottom.

Most Pokémon are buried here, with silent tombstones arranged neatly.

Phoebe said that some Trainers didn't want their Pokémon to be exposed to wind and rain after death, so they hollowed out the mountain to create such a cemetery.

Countless fluorescent stones illuminated the cemetery, making the faint sobbing sound seem particularly creepy.

"Wuwuwu..."

A ghost? No.

It's a sad Trainer.

All Baimu looked at the boy squatting in front of a tombstone and sobbing, remembering Blue from the fan manga "King's Festival."

After Raticate passed away unexpectedly, he almost changed his personality, from a sharp-edged Trainer to a cold and ruthless commander, which was truly sigh-worthy.

Unfortunately, the author updated too slowly, so he didn't see the scene where Blue let go before he transmigrated.

"Life is always accompanied by various accidents; sometimes we encounter things we don't want to encounter, so I like to live in the moment!"

Phoebe also looked at the boy and said softly.

All Baimu nodded and said, "Have you ever tried to bring the soul of a deceased Pokémon to reality to let it meet its Trainer?"

"Of course!"

Phoebe looked at him strangely, "This is the primary job of a medium! To guide the departed Pokémon to let it say a final goodbye to its Trainer."

All Baimu realized, "That was my oversight."

He always thought mediums only dealt with contacting souls and solving paranormal events everywhere.

A legitimate medium should have such functions?

The two continued downward.

Although it was late at night, many people still lingered in the cemetery, just because there was a hotel built at the foot of the mountain specifically for mourners.

Arrived at the first level.

Phoebe took him into an office, pushed open the desk in the back to reveal a large iron door that looked like a bank safe.

All Baimu: "This level of protection... to keep people out?"

"Yeah, evil spirits can walk through walls, iron doors have no effect on them; it's mainly to stop others from breaking in."

Phoebe said with some trouble, "People often run around Mt. Pyre under the guise of paranormal exploration, causing my grandparents a lot of trouble.

"Two years ago, there was a thief who claimed to be the king of the thief world, nicknamed Phantom Thief Jack, who got wind of the orbs and wanted to steal them. As a result, he accidentally ran downstairs and almost couldn't get back up."

"Phantom Thief Jack, sounds like a very courageous character."

He praised, and couldn't help but think of the two female thieves in "Pokémon Heroes."

They were also idiots who wanted to steal the Soul Dew and ended up getting trapped instead.

The large iron door opened with a creak.

In an instant.

A deep underground passage appeared before All Baimu, with endless stairs that seemed to lead straight to the abyss.

Whoosh~

A chilling breeze blew across his face.

Dragapult quietly manifested, wrapped its tail around his arm, and whispered, "Dreepy~"

As if telling him not to be afraid.

Although All Baimu didn't feel any fear, the socially anxious dragon's actions still warmed his heart.

Of course, it wasn't the only one doing this.

Gengar was pressing its back against All Baimu's chest like a large plush toy, acting as his heart protector.

"You guys are really close~"

Phoebe said with a smile.

All Baimu glanced at the Dusclops that appeared beside her at some point, took out a ball, and opened it, "Since it's come to this, you come too, consider it a team-building exercise."

Bang!

"Sigh..."

The cold wind forcibly blew the Galarian Corsola awake.

It was placed on All Baimu's shoulder, observing the surrounding environment in a daze and confusion.

Phoebe giggled, "Why is it still so lazy?"

"It's just its personality."

All Baimu patted Corsola's head, and the latter poked out its smoke-like tentacles in dissatisfaction, then slowly retracted them.

It's just like a sea slug.

Didn't stay at the entrance for too long.

After All Baimu helped Phoebe close the iron door, the two walked down the passage.

There were only the footsteps of the two in the quiet stairs.

He tried using Breath Concealment, and the footsteps suddenly became one, causing Phoebe to turn her head and look frequently.

Seeing her look of wanting to speak but stopping, All Baimu canceled the Breath Concealment without changing his expression.

The socially anxious dragon and the gray fatty silently held back their laughter.

The Trainer is so bad!

Successfully arrived at the deepest part, and the first thing that came into view was a huge stone door.

The surface of the stone door was engraved with countless Ghost-type Pokémon, covering almost the vast majority of non-Legendary and non-Mythical ones.

"We're here! The Spirit Realm Gate!"

Phoebe put her hands on her hips, and the Dusclops beside her stepped forward, patting the stone door with its fan-like hand.

Boom boom boom!

A dull sound like a solid object came.

All Baimu asked, "Is the Spirit Realm behind this stone door?"

"That's right! Long before people used Mt. Pyre as a cemetery, the bottom of the mountain was already connected to the Spirit Realm."

Phoebe talked eloquently, "Ancient Hoenn people, in order to make life and death distinct, created a stone door to send all souls lingering in the human world back to the Spirit Realm and did not allow them to come out again."

As everyone knows, ancient people in the anime world often mastered special technologies that ordinary people couldn't understand.

"What is the cause of this rift?"

When All Baimu asked this question, he already had a guess inside.

Sure enough, Phoebe said, "Some people studied it and said it was a great battle between Groudon and Kyogre a long, long time ago."

She talked eloquently, "You see Mt. Pyre is surrounded by water, right? This is because Groudon arched the land to form an active volcano, and Kyogre surrounded this volcano with water, trying to extinguish it!"

In the super-ancient era, the two Pokémon often fought; maybe it really was like what Phoebe said.

"Anyway... huh? Why is there no reaction?"

She looked at the stone door that wouldn't open after being patted for a long time and said to Dusclops, "You go in directly and see what's going on inside!"

"Younong!"

Dusclops nodded, slowly squeezing into the stone door as if swimming into the deep sea.

Phoebe added, "You can go into the stone door, but if it's not opened, you can't come out, no one can."

"Then how do you open it? Is it... a gatekeeper?" All Baimu remembered she had said at the Sootopolis Hotel that every Spirit Realm entrance has a gatekeeper Pokémon.

Phoebe smiled and said, "That's right!"

While speaking, the stone door slowly opened.

Rumble—

Accompanied by a dull low sound, the giant door, ten meters high, opened to All Baimu and Phoebe.

And the Pokémon that opened the door was a large group of Sableye!

"Yamiyamiyami~"

"Yami~"

Their voices sounded particularly low, and they sounded like they were in a bad mood.

But Phoebe was more unhappy than them, "You guys! Slacking off and sleeping again, right?"

"Yami..."

The Sableye looked at each other.

One of the larger Sableye stepped forward, pointed at Phoebe's nose, and scolded her, "Yami! Yamila!"

"I am a medium! The future successor of Mt. Pyre! Of course I have to see if there are any problems with the Spirit Realm's Mt. Pyre. Do you have any opinions?"

Phoebe showed a sharp look completely different from before.

The leading Sableye couldn't lift its head after being scolded by her; it looked at All Baimu and was about to say something, but was immediately blocked back.

"This is another medium I invited. You know it by looking at his Pokémon, right? Ordinary people don't have such strong Ghost-type Pokémon!"

"Yamila..."

The Sableye was speechless.

Anyway, you said everything, right?

It turned its head away, no longer paying attention to this little girl who always liked to argue with it.

Seeing this, Phoebe grabbed All Baimu and walked inside.

Just one step into the Spirit Realm Gate, the unlit candle on his head immediately ignited with ghostly blue fire.

And it was the very scorching kind.

Successfully attracting the attention of Phoebe and the group of Sableye.

"Huh?"

The girl was quite surprised, but soon composed her expression to prevent the Sableye from seeing it.

All Baimu didn't say anything; he would ask if there were any problems after going inside.

The two stepped into it, and the air became colder, as if they had arrived below zero.

Until that group of gatekeeping Sableye could no longer be seen.

Phoebe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These guys are really difficult, and they are especially shameless. No matter what nice things you say or how many benefits you give them, they turn their faces as soon as they say so!"

"It's their duty, understandable." All Baimu replied.
