However, perhaps Fang Yuan's mental fluctuations were a bit too enticing, as these ghosts didn't seem to have any immediate notion of retreating; they all observed from the shadows...
"Magnemite."
At the same time.
Sensing the changes around him, Eevee finally emerged slowly from the huge backpack Fang Yuan was carrying and climbed onto Fang Yuan's shoulder.
Eevee glanced at the ghosts in the darkness and curled its lips.
Besides that, the shadow beneath Fang Yuan's feet also let out a "keh keh keh" laugh...
This sound startled everyone and every Pokemon other than Fang Yuan and Eevee.
Amid the laughter, Fang Yuan's shadow floated up swiftly like smoke, forming the shape of a Gengar. The sudden appearance of the Gengar startled Chandelure, the Night Spirit, and Master Zhou Daniying slightly.
They had thought that some unseen Ghost-type Spirit God had stealthily launched an attack.
But seeing the Gengar sweetly approach Fang Yuan's side, Zhou Daniying immediately understood—this Gengar...was Fang Yuan's Pokemon that was about to evolve in the Spirit World!
She took a closer look...and indeed it was multicolored.
But...how could this Gengar have been hiding within Fang Yuan's shadow all this time?
Master Zhou Daniying knew the Shadow Contract Technique, but it was her knowledge of it that shocked her even more.
She was well aware of how difficult it was to refine the Shadow Contract to a degree that could deceive her, a Ghost Type Master, and the detectors in the Spirit Tower.
"Drive them away," Fang Yuan said to the Glutton.
Being constantly watched by a group of Ghost-type Pokemon felt weird to Fang Yuan; evidently, if he didn't assert some intimidation, he would likely be harassed even if he stayed in the safe area continuously.
Trainers who are too excellent often end up being entangled by Pokemon...
At this moment, hearing Fang Yuan's command, the Glutton revealed a sinister smile.
Rather than driving them away, the Glutton actually hoped that some Ghost-type Pokemon brave enough to attack would come forward, so the Glutton could legitimately devour its attacker in return.
"Si Si Ta!!"
In an explosive moment, the Glutton leapt out, with dark purple energy swiftly condensing. In the blink of an eye, a six to seven meters tall phantom was supported by the Gengar's body.
The Dark Phantom move, like a beam resembling a streak across the air, instantly transformed into a phantom with a body, arms, and head.
The phantom's shape was skull-like, and Ghost Energy completely enveloped the Glutton's body. The body, huge arms, and ribs were covered in copious amounts of sinister deep purple flames that spread everywhere through the energy flowing on its body, turning into a layer of deep purple Ghostfire Armor...
After the stunning Ghost Fire phantom formed, a clump of pitch-black flame slowly burned up from within the purple, and though this Black Flame was just a tiny flicker within the purple ghostly waves at first, weak as a flame, in an instant it seemed as if the Black Flame magnified the malice of the Glutton by dozens of times...
As time sped by and the Black Flame moved, it quickly replaced the purple ghost fire. Now engulfed by Black Flame, the Glutton exuded an ominous presence that made both Chandelure and the Night Spirit take a step back in wariness.
Fang Yuan's Glutton had devoured quite a few Ghost-type Pokemon in the Spirit World; its Black Flame that burned life and souls made it instantly clear to the Ghost-type Pokemon looking this way just how terrifying Fang Yuan and his team were.
Only as a Ghost-type Pokemon could one feel the terror of the Glutton's greed right now.
Being its enemy... would mean getting devoured... being scorched to nothingness by this black Ghost Fire.
Boom!
Underneath the vast phantom, countless shadows spread like blossoming Black Other Shore Flowers all around...
At the same time, clumps of Black Flame swept upwards, spreading by burning the shadows...
Seeing this, numerous Ghost-type Pokemon scattered in all directions, attempting to flee from this place in disarray.
...
A moment later, the already barren and desolate land of the Spirit World became even more desolate.
The Black Flame left on the ground dissipated gradually at a mere thought from the Glutton.
Apart from Fang Yuan's Pokemon, there wasn't a single trace of Ghost-type Pokemon within thousands of kilometers.
"Master Level..."
Master Zhou Daniying murmured to herself, feeling utterly shocked after sensing the daunting power of Glutton's mysterious black flame.
Through the reaction of the Night Spirit, she easily judged Glutton's strength!
With that black flame, there was no doubt that Glutton had the power to deter a master. If that were all, Master Zhou Daniying wouldn't have been too surprised, but she knew that Gengar had yet another stage of evolution, with its potential not even half unleashed!
Zhou Daniying suspected that this Multicolored Gengar, after another evolution, could potentially be close to the core members of the Four Heavenly Kings, Master Level Invincible...
The thought that Fang Yuan, at his young age, could own a Master Level Invincible Pokemon made Master Zhou Daniying silent in her heart.
"Hoo hoo hoo~~~" On the other side, Chandelure was also frightened by Fang Yuan's Glutton.
Although Glutton was quite friendly towards friends and companions, Chandelure was still a bit afraid...
There was no helping it; Glutton had evolved from Ghostss to Gengar by devouring a Professional level Chandelure.
For Chandelure, the intimidation of Glutton was indeed a bit too strong... It was like a Bug Type Pokemon facing a bird Pokemon, with a natural fear ingrained.
After witnessing Fang Yuan's strength, Master Zhou Daniying felt more at ease.
After some instructions, Master Zhou left.
Before long, Fang Yuan released all his Pokemon.
Eevee, the Armed Magnetic Monster, Monferno, Glutton, Milotic, Dragonite, Rotom, Ditto...
Chandelure observed Fang Yuan's Pokemon and was surprised to find that each one was strong, with some possibly even stronger than that Gengar.
"Next..." Fang Yuan looked at his Pokemon.
Eevee was napping.
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, not seen for a long time, began to devour the Spirit Realm Magnetic Field, and the two Gear children cheered along.
Monferno ignored the oppressive atmosphere brought by the Spirit World, went over to Ditto, and focused on training! Training!
Milotic, Dragonite... These two were significantly affected by the environment of the Spirit World and rejected it.
But even so, they had to adapt, Fang Yuan couldn't possibly keep them in their Poké Balls for too long. Although they were not the focus of this trip to the Spirit World, they couldn't relax too much either.
"Guo si~~" In the Spirit World, Glutton cried out in enjoyment.
This place was much more comfortable than the Sun and Moon Forest, and Glutton strongly suggested that Fang Yuan take over a secret location in the Spirit World and move the research lab there.
Fang Yuan smiled, looking at the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, "Is there a way to gather the energy from the Spirit Realm Magnetic Field of a large area together and then strengthen it?"
"Magnemite..." The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, currently devouring the magnetic field, nodded slightly, controlling the magnetic field was not a difficult task for it.
"Excellent!" Fang Yuan turned his head towards Rotom, who was analyzing the soil of the Spirit World, "Rotom, calculate the current upper limit of magnetic field energy that Glutton can devour."
"Roger that, Rotom!" On the other side, Rotom instantly understood Fang Yuan's idea.
For most Gengar, bathing in the Spirit Realm Magnetic Field is the best opportunity for evolution.
The Trio Magnet Monsters had evolved through contact with a special magnetic field, just as Evolutionary Stones have different qualities, so too do magnetic fields affect the outcome of evolution.
Fang Yuan planned to use the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's ability to control magnetic fields to create the optimal spot for Glutton's evolution...
Meanwhile, Chandelure watched Fang Yuan and his Pokemon in bewilderment, finding that Fang Yuan and his Pokemon were very strange. Their interactions were different from any trainer Chandelure had met before.
While Chandelure was bewildered, an Energy Block flew toward it, wafting a tempting fragrance...
"Chandelure, is there a place nearby where the spiritual power is abundant?"
Fang Yuan took out an Energy Block, starting to build a good relationship with this seasoned Spirit World inhabitant. Considering the strength of the Ghost-type Pokemon they had encountered earlier, Fang Yuan and his team were inevitably going to leave the safe area for battle experience, and when that time came, they would rely on Chandelure to lead the way...
