Though somewhat chilling, they’re most likely caused by wild Ghost-type Pokémon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu cheerfully adjusted the cheap baseball cap he’d taken from the department store; Mimikyu, matching his gesture, held a paper-rolled pipe in its mouth and perched on his shoulder in a pose: “Kukui, you stay outside. I’ll handle this case as the detective. Are you cold?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu looked helplessly at Kukui, curled up in the cold night, his tone laced with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui shivered: “I’m fine. I’ll find a spot to light a fire soon. But really, you don’t need my help over there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve seen your undergarments—nothing to be scared of. Just pretend you didn’t hear that. I’ve got Mimikyu with me. Don’t you know how strong it is after fighting it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll solve this tonight. Then we still have five days to interact with Capu·Moomoo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Luo Mu released his keen-nosed Cattiva, shouldered Mimikyu, and marched straight into the ruins of the Super Value Supermarket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another brief, sharp sneeze, Kukui zipped up his white lab coat and stared anxiously into the supermarket interior, murmuring: “Strange. The night shouldn’t be this cold this season—cold enough to send chills down your spine. Is Luo Mu really okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And… is it just my imagination, or has he become noticeably more proactive about everything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui’s muttering went unanswered. Beneath the night, the ruins of the Super Value Supermarket resembled a monstrous beast’s gaping maw, ready to devour anyone who approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cattiva continuously sniffed the ground for any dangerous scents; Luo Mu’s footsteps echoed loudly in the silent night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm. It’s definitely in bad shape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu carefully avoided the debris on the ground—stepping on a crumbling stone that concealed a steel nail would be embarrassing indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poked Mimikyu (Detective.ver), who was sensing the surroundings: “How’s it going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadowy claw extended from beneath Mimikyu’s doll form and held up five fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu nodded: “Fifty percent spectral energy? Then there’s almost certainly a wild Ghost-type Pokémon wandering nearby.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking it pointless to wander aimlessly through the supermarket, he asked internally: “Any good items nearby? Point me the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Head to the warehouse deep inside the supermarket】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A warehouse? That makes sense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu glanced around, quickly spotting the warehouse’s location on a faded overhead sign, then called to Cattiva and headed straight for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his emotions had been unusually heightened lately, but he wasn’t as resistant to this feeling as he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he wouldn’t be embarking on the journey his system craved, Luo Mu felt his attitude had become far more proactive—just like now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he’d mostly waited for danger to come to him. Now, he intended to find the creature pretending to be a ghost inside this ruined supermarket!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes later, Luo Mu stood before a sealed door, one hand on his hip, curiosity on his face: “This is the warehouse? What if a Gastly or a Misdreavus jumps out when I open it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warehouse sat at the very back of the supermarket, surrounded by walls, with only a single, dilapidated door standing alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his hand neared the doorknob, Luo Mu’s peripheral vision caught a flicker of pale light beside a shelf to his right. He smirked and pointed: “There—Shadow Ambush!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cattiva also sensed something amiss and barked loudly toward the shelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mimikyu leapt off Luo Mu’s shoulder with a snap, its doll-like form extending a long, pitch-black shadow that looked more like a ghost—within a blink, it reached the shelf and dragged out the “watchers” hiding there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, several Gastly, Haunter, and Misdreavus were pulled out by Mimikyu’s shadow attack, staring at it in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, Mimikyu was a Ghost-type far stronger than they could ever hope to be. After a moment’s hesitation, the Ghost-type Pokémon, their faces showing human-like concern, chose to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a powerful Ghost-type elder protecting him, that human should be fine, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Luo Mu’s perspective, the wild Ghost-type Pokémon had been dragged out by Mimikyu and fled in panic—clearly, these were the creatures that had frightened the tourists and explorers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu waited in place for over ten minutes, confirming the Ghost-types wouldn’t return, then scratched his head in surprise: “That was it? Already solved?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d expected at least a battle with those Ghost-type Pokémon—perfect for Cattiva’s practical training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, Luo Mu turned his head toward the dilapidated warehouse door behind him. Since he’d come this far, even if there was probably nothing inside, he might as well take a look before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without delay, the old wooden door creaked open—and the warehouse’s true interior came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the inside, Luo Mu froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the outside, the blank walls made him assume the warehouse was large—but how could this space, barely bigger than a regular bathroom, be it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room’s walls were even more decayed than the exterior, cracked and unpainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several frameless pictures hung on the walls, eerie in appearance, leaving Luo Mu deeply puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was the slightest trace of a warehouse here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cattiva sniffed for a long time with its eyes closed, found nothing, and sat quietly at Luo Mu’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luo Mu’s gaze fell into the corner, the familiar Pikachu doll sitting there startled him—he turned to look at Mimikyu on his shoulder, confirming it was still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then where did the Pikachu doll in the corner come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Mu puzzled over this, the doll in the corner moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slowly crawled toward Luo Mu. He sensed the doll was watching him—and inexplicably, he understood its intent, just as he had communicated with Ho-Oh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doll’s message was—Can you look under my skirt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1070,"2026-06-20T17:11:47.132Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d525dc9407b589ea2719ea825dd6bd86aa4bdf2c622337fb87af03d8cdc1651f","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-93","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-91",695,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-cover.jpg"]
