In a jungle, two heads, one large and one small, slowly emerged from the grass, both staring at a Banette in front of them.
“Banette? I’ve been searching for three whole days, and I finally found a suitable one!”
“Gengar!”
“But Banette’s abilities are very strong… can we capture it?”
“Gengar…”
“Forget it! Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If we can’t beat it, we’ll just run!”
“Gengar!”
After discussing, the two jumped out of the grass and quickly surrounded the Banette.
The Banette was still looking at another doll it had woven from leaves, and suddenly facing this situation, it was a bit flustered.
“Gengar! Shadow Sneak!”
“Gengar!”
Gengar released a Shadow Sneak, and Banette hadn’t reacted yet, so it was hit.
But once it adapted, it immediately used Confusion to fly itself into the air.
“It can fly? Doesn't that mean I can’t attack it?”
A ball of blue flame gathered in Banette’s mouth and flew directly towards Gui Ling.
“Its movement speed is decent, but it’s still too slow for me.”
Gui Ling dodged to the side. As soon as he finished speaking, the Will-O-Wisp automatically tracked him and flew towards Gui Ling’s direction.
“Oh, come on!”
Gui Ling immediately ducked, and the Will-O-Wisp almost hit him.
“It tracks? I take back what I said!”
Gui Ling was constantly being chased by the Will-O-Wisp. Gengar didn’t know what to do either, as there was no Trainer’s command.
“Gengar, hit me with a Shadow Sneak!”
“Gengar!”
Gengar shot a Shadow Sneak. Gui Ling immediately ducked, and the Will-O-Wisp and Shadow Sneak collided, causing an explosion.
“Good, again! Let’s go! Hyper Beam!”
“Gengar!”
Banette was not to be trifled with either. It dodged Hyper Beam by moving to the side, then shot out two more Will-O-Wisps, flying towards Gengar and Gui Ling respectively.
“Oh, come on! Again!!!”
“Gengar!!!”
This time, both of them were frantically fleeing, but Gengar quickly adjusted its posture and used Shadow Sneak to cancel the Will-O-Wisp’s tracking.
Gui Ling thought for a moment and looked at the tang katana in his hand. In the boss's eyes, this piece of metal was essentially scrap, but Gui Ling immediately recognized that it was extraordinary, which is why he bought it at the lowest price.
If I remember correctly, this iron is called Bloodthirsty Iron. Although it can use blood to create stronger power, I don’t know if it can withstand the attack of this Will-O-Wisp!
With a change of thought, Gui Ling slashed at the Will-O-Wisp. The Will-O-Wisp was not split open but instead burned directly onto the tang katana.
“Ah, does this count as a new enhancement for me?”
But just then, Gui Ling was lifted into the air by Banette using Confusion and thrown towards a large tree nearby.
Gui Ling immediately used his tang katana to block. Because the Will-O-Wisp was burning on the blade, the large tree was directly engulfed by the Will-O-Wisp, and Gui Ling also fell down.
“No!”
Just as Gengar broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing how to face Banette, he noticed Gui Ling giving him a wink.
Understanding, Gengar immediately fired a Shadow Sneak next to Banette. Banette slightly twisted, dodging the Shadow Sneak that wouldn't have attacked him. While he was still gloating, Gui Ling, with a swift stride, summoned that cocoon.
Gui Ling then stepped on the cocoon and jumped into the air, using the tang katana as a baseball bat to catch the Shadow Sneak, then exerted force and hit the Shadow Sneak back.
This hit Banette directly in the back of the head. Gengar followed up with another Hyper Beam, and Banette finally fell from the sky.
“Go!”
A Poké Ball flew over and contained Banette. After a while, with a sound, Banette was successfully captured.
“That’s great! Gengar, you’re amazing!”
“Gengar~”
But just then, inside the cocoon of destruction nearby, Yveltal’s veins bulged, staring angrily at Gui Ling.
How could it, a Legendary Pokémon, be stepped on as a stepping stone by a human? If this got out, it would be utterly humiliating!
But then it thought about it again. It finally had a feeder, and he didn't seem to recognize it, so it temporarily took out its anger on tonight’s dinner.
Tonight, the same base, the same bonfire, and the same grilled fish, but this time, the trio added another Pokémon.
Banette just sat there, still fiddling with the leaf doll in its hands, completely ignoring Gui Ling.
Gui Ling saw that it was completely treating him as air, so he tentatively asked.
“Banette, do you like dolls?”
“Banette!”
“You like them? Then when I return to the city, I’ll buy you some dolls, do you want them?”
Hearing this, Banette nodded quickly, its eyes sparkling like stars.
“Haha, how cute!”
“Gengar!”
“Haha, Gengar is also very cute!”
A crack opened in the cocoon nearby again, and blue eyes watched the three. After eating, it fell asleep again.
Having been asleep for too long, it didn’t find the surrounding laughter noisy; instead, it listened intently.
“…”
These past few days, it occasionally gave up sleep to observe Gui Ling, and it discovered some joys it had never seen before.
Sometimes Gui Ling would get angry because he couldn’t start a fire, throwing his flint onto another stone, only for it to bounce back and hit his forehead.
Sometimes Gui Ling would get sprayed in the face by a Magikarp while fishing, and then he would pretend to be calm, saying he wasn’t angry and that Magikarp wasn't tasty.
The dinner that night, however, was Magikarp… This ever-changing, humorous personality actually touched Yveltal’s heart.
“…………”
When the three were sleeping, sounds came from the surrounding grass. Several Dark-type Pokémon gathered around, but suddenly feeling a powerful aura, they immediately fled.
Inside the cocoon of destruction, Yveltal’s blue eyes glowed purple, the surrounding river water turned dark purple, and the Dark Aura, transcending all Dark-type Pokémon, unfurled, isolating all surrounding dangers.
After doing all this, Yveltal returned to its cocoon form and fell asleep again.
