"Mr. Ghost Spirit, why have you suddenly come to visit? You didn't even tell us beforehand."
The male host offered a cigar, but Gui Ling shook his head and stepped back.
"I don't smoke, in fact, I even dislike it a bit."
"Oh, oh!"
Upon hearing this, the male host immediately put out the cigar in his hand and excitedly invited Gui Ling into the main hall.
The live broadcast by Team Rockets earlier had basically been seen throughout Kalos. The male host, due to the Kalos League Conference, had also been following Kalos, so he naturally knew about the disaster that occurred.
The live broadcast from half a year ago was still fresh in his memory. Gui Ling led a group of legendary Pokémon to defeat the stone statues and capture Zygarde, instantly becoming a legendary Trainer in the Pokémon world.
"So young and accomplished! Mr. Ghost Spirit, my daughter is even your fan! She had some inconvenience due to an illness earlier and deeply regretted not having the chance to personally watch the Kalos League Conference matches..."
Seeing the somewhat talkative male host, Gui Ling rubbed his forehead helplessly, but Gui Ling noticed that Jing Jing's expression seemed a bit unhappy. Lin Jingnan still had the same expression, but her gaze frequently lingered on Gui Ling.
"Mr. Ghost Spirit, just now my daughter had a battle with you. How do you feel about my daughter's potential?"
Gui Ling looked at Lin Jingnan, closed his eyes, and nodded.
"Very impressive. So many Superiors in the Kalos League couldn't find the weaknesses of Gengar and Banette. Lin Jingnan is very smart."
"No."
Just then, Lin Jingnan, who had been silent, spoke.
"To be precise, during the Kalos League, Mr. Ghost Spirit never gave his opponents a chance; he would basically have Banette end the battle immediately. So opponents subconsciously would also think of resisting with the same power, and didn't think of counterattacking in other ways."
"And Mr. Ghost Spirit sparred with me for a long time without using his full power, which allowed me to find an opportunity."
Having been in the Pokémon world for a long time, Gui Ling was still not used to so many strangers gathered together, and he always felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.
Next, Gui Ling just mooched a meal at this manor and then began to plan his next journey.
In the past six months, Ash's journey in Alola should have ended, so now it would be time for the Eight Masters Tournament.
"At the research base in the Galar region, 12 ancient fossil Pokémon were stolen! The suspects are believed to be researchers from the experimental base!"
"The legendary Pokémon Lugia appeared! Location is..."
"A compilation of Mr. Ghost Spirit's legendary Pokémon..."
"It's been half a year, and the popularity hasn't died down yet. It seems many marketing accounts are introducing me."
Bored, Gui Ling casually scrolled through his phone in the guest room, planning his next day's intentions, when a loud bang came from outside the manor.
"???"
Gui Ling was about to get up, but his phone started ringing.
"A call? I don't think anyone knows my phone number. Who could it be?"
..........
"Urshifu's close combat! Genesect's Hyper Beam!"
Ruo Xi had been fleeing from Jenny's pursuit. Although he had three powerful Pokémon, his combat experience was not very good.
"Don't let him get away! We must catch him today!"
"Good heavens, fifty-plus people chasing just me! You guys are really determined to fight me to the end, aren't you!?"
Hiss.........
"How's it going on your end?"
Ruo Xi mounted Togekiss, intending to slip away, but his broken earphone crackled with a current, stinging him.
"Good heavens! You finally reached me!?"
"Why is it so noisy on your end?"
"I'm being chased! Think of a way to help me!"
"It was your idea to steal the fossils. Do you really want to prove yourself that badly?"
"Yin Xing! Please~"
"Sigh... Never mind, I don't want to see you in prison next time. The manor ahead is where the partner you're looking for is. Go there and see if you can avoid the limelight."
"But the key is, I haven't even met him!"
"Then I can't help you. Next time we meet, I'll bring your favorite dessert."
"Hey! No?"
"Beep beep beep..."
Ruo Xi stood rooted to the spot with a dark expression, then jumped off Togekiss and summoned Urshifu and Genesect again.
"I won't just sit here and wait to die! Hyper Beam!"
Boom!!!
Genesect's attack power was indeed strong, but it couldn't withstand the overwhelming numbers. Soon, under the repeated attacks of Jenny, it fell into a disadvantage and finally collapsed under a Manectric's Thunderbolt.
"Come back, Genesect. Urshifu, Surging Strikes!"
Just as Urshifu was about to charge forward, its foot was grabbed by a purple hand, and it was then pulled directly into Phantom Force.
Ruo Xi and Togekiss were also entangled by Forest's Curse and similarly pulled into Phantom Force, disappearing.
"Damn it! Ghost-type moves! Where are they? Where did they run off to?"
Jenny stomped her feet in anger at the sight. Having lost their target, they could only search in the vicinity of the forest.
"Ouch!"
Ruo Zhe fell directly from the ceiling. The relief of surviving made him let out a sigh, and then he began to survey his surroundings.
"Gui Ling?"
"Hmm, you must be the one looking to partner with me, right?"
"Huh? How did you know?"
Gui Ling picked up his phone and shook it. The location and phone number at the top showed a 2-minute call.
"Someone named Yin Xing called me and offered a condition that I found quite good."
Ruo Xi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and couldn't help but apologize to his partner in his heart.
"I was cursing him so much back then... Sigh... that kid."
Ruo Zhe recovered and stood up, taking out a tablet and displaying a location.
"Is this it? The location of the other giant stone?"
"The data shows that the Mega Evolution fluctuations here are exactly the same as the giant stone, so this should be the location of the other giant stone."
Gui Ling nodded, then looked at Ruo Zhe with a different expression.
"And what else?"
"The other condition, I'll tell you after you help me do what I want to do."
"Tell me, what is your condition?"
"I need funding, first to help me revive the other eleven Genesect. And then, I want to capture Mew!"
"Is that all?"
"That's all. The other condition, I believe you'll be very interested in."
"Deal."
..........
"Sigh... Do you really want to prove yourself that badly?"
A boy with light green hair and a delicate, childlike face sighed as he looked at the images reflected by the miniature flying camera.
"I wish you all the best."
