While waiting, Fang Yuan sought advice from Director Qi on a matter.
Fang Yuan's situation was somewhat special.
He had two Pokemon, and naturally, Fang Yuan hoped both Eevee and Magnemite could enter the Ghost House for experience if possible.
That way, the gains would be double.
"Director Qi, this is the situation. I was wondering if I could experience it twice? I don't mind queuing up again for the second time."
Fang Yuan said sheepishly that for the sake of Eevee and Magnemite, even the "thin-skinned" Fang Yuan asked, hoping to seize more opportunities.
"Uh..."
"So you've tamed another Pokemon besides Eevee?" Lin Sen was shocked.
Before Director Qi could respond, Lin Sen and several other New Trainers shot envious glances at Fang Yuan.
If one could tame Pokemon ahead of time, who wouldn't want to capture more, aside from those who couldn't afford to?
"Hmm..."
At the same time, after pondering, Director Qi said:
"No big issue..."
"Forget it, just let both of your Pokemon enter together. Otherwise, if you queue up again, you'll probably have to wait until the day after tomorrow."
Director Qi shook his head, effectively giving Fang Yuan, the winner of the Little Phoenix King Cup, some convenience.
Meanwhile, Director Qi was also surprised that Fang Yuan had already tamed two Pokemon... Now, he was very eager to see what kind of performance Fang Yuan would have.
"Really? Thank you so much."
With permission granted, Fang Yuan grinned and immediately thanked Director Qi.
...
About half an hour later.
The six people waiting in the room received notification that they could proceed to the Ghost House.
"In addition to you guys, five Trainers drawn from the queuing crowd will join you, making it eleven in total who will experience the Ghost House in this batch," Director Qi said, standing up from the chair after receiving the notification, and addressed Fang Yuan and the others:
"Everyone get ready, we can head over now."
Upon hearing this, the group resting in the room perked up with enthusiasm, Fang Yuan included.
Bwoo, addicted to horror films and always asking him to watch together, had managed to scare Fang Yuan every time. This time, Fang Yuan didn't believe Eevee could withstand the horror of Mo Da's Ghost House.
The illusions created by Ghost-type Pokemon are incomparable to the cheap thrills of lousy horror movies.
Under the lead of Director Qi, they arrived at the north gate of the large Ghost House.
"There are four entrances: East, South, West, and North, and the initial encounters are different depending on the entrance. The Pokemon in the north are... I've heard they are quite friendly, heh heh, we'll let Teacher Zhou Youyou in charge of the Ghost House explain the specific precautions to you before you enter."
Director Qi led them there with a mischievous smile on his face.
Soon after, a female teacher with a somewhat gloomy and icy aura approached, possibly due to long-term contact with Ghost-type Pokemon, her aura made Fang Yuan and the others involuntarily shiver.
"This teacher could star in a horror film without much need for makeup."
They say that if a Trainer spends too much time with a Pokemon, they start to resemble each other.
Similar to the concept of "couples growing to look alike."
A Trainer's behavior might mirror a Pokemon's, and a Pokemon might act like its Trainer...
Fang Yuan speculated, what could Teacher Zhou Youyou's Pokemon be... Snow Demon Woman seems likely!
"But such a saying probably isn't reliable. If Eevee were half as steady and hardworking as me, it wouldn't be corroded by web addiction like it is now."
While Fang Yuan was lost in thought, the person in charge of the Ghost House had already spoken: "Once everyone arrives, the Pokemon can enter. Trainers will come with me, and we will observe their performance via the backstage monitors."
"Ghost House at Demon Capital University typically allows Trainers and Pokemon to enter together, but considering you have no training experience, we will only allow the stronger Pokemon to enter during the experience. After all... if you ended up with a psychological trauma from fright, I couldn't take that responsibility."
The person in charge of the Ghost House finished speaking, and Fang Yuan remained utterly calm.
It was just as he wished.
Soon, the remaining five people also arrived. These New Trainers who got to experience the Ghost House through the back door gathered at the north gate, and Teacher Zhou Youyou nodded at them when she saw them.
"I'm giving you three minutes to release your Pokemon, whether for encouragement or to build up their spirits, it's up to you."
On the side, Director Qi smiled and did not leave, planning to stay and enjoy the show.
Compared to those New Trainers lining up outside, what would these talented New Trainer's Pokemon... perform like after entering the Ghost House?
He was very curious to find out.
"Come out, Eevee, Magnemite."
On Fang Yuan's side, he had already taken out Eevee and Magnemite's Poké Balls, and with a flash of red light, Eevee and Magnemite both appeared in front of him.
Looking at Eevee and Magnemite, Fang Yuan pointed to the building behind and said, "Eevee, the Ghost House, you know what I mean."
Eevee: "????"
Eevee's gaze sharpened suddenly, and it stepped back slightly; liking horror films and liking to deal with ghosts are two different concepts!
"Magnemite, are you interested in challenging the Ghost House?" Fang Yuan turned his head and asked.
"Bwoo!!"
Magnemite did not let Fang Yuan down.
"Eevee, look at Magnemite, now look at yourself," Fang Yuan said with heartfelt pain.
"Bwoo??" Eevee's mouth twitched, accusing him of bullying Magnemite because it couldn't speak Chinese.
Luckily, its own growl was Bwoo.
After some discussion, Fang Yuan promised to watch a horror movie with Eevee tonight, and only then did Eevee agree to enter.
As for Magnemite, it didn't have much concept of what a Ghost House was and certainly didn't have as much experience as Eevee, so it had no idea what awaited it next...
...
Behind the scenes of the Ghost House.
After twelve Pokemon had entered the Ghost House, Teacher Zhou Youyou brought the eleven New Trainers to this place and found seats for them.
Then she turned on a large screen and said:
"This is the monitor screen that watches over the entire Ghost House. In a little while, it'll relay a delayed broadcast for you to see exactly how your Pokemon are doing."
"So rest assured, if your Pokemon faint from shock, there will be staff members to help carry them out..."
Teacher Zhou Youyou gave a mysterious smile.
Every time the Ghost House was open, it was also a feast for the Ghost-type Pokemon.
The fear of those who entered was their favorite delicacy...
Fang Yuan sat next to Lin Sen and before the screen showed any specific images, he asked:
"Lin Sen, is this the first time your Pokemon is experiencing the Ghost House too?"
"Yeah..." Lin Sen said, "What about it?"
"Generally, how do the Pokemon of freshmen from Magic City University perform after entering the Ghost House?" Fang Yuan stroked his chin, mainly wanting to collect some embarrassing moments of Eevee and Magnemite as a keepsake.
"Well..."
Lin Sen didn't know, but at that moment, Teacher Zhou Youyou suddenly said, "Even after being admitted to Demon Capital University, when their Pokemon first enter the Ghost House, they are trembling with fear, panicked and distressed, scared out of their wits. Only a few Special Pokemon can adapt and make it through to the end."
Upon hearing this, everyone swallowed hard.
Then the screen—
Suddenly lit up and showed the image of a girl's Baltoy already rolling around on the ground in panic.
"..." Fang Yuan.
So how exactly are Eevee and Magnemite doing?
