"I didn't expect that the girl that Brock met turned out to be Gastly...just an ordinary Gastly, can she have this ability to transform into a human? Is it Hypnosis?" On the way back, Misty wondered how Gastly could turn into a human.
But no one can answer Misty's question, because Ash and Brock don't know, and Brock feels very lost now. He rarely meets a beautiful woman, only to find out she was a Pokémon transformed into human form...
"No! I don't believe it! I absolutely don't believe it, that beautiful woman turned out to be a Pokémon!" Brock denied the reality and didn't want to believe it.
"Although I can't believe it completely, I don't think there is any need for that old woman to lie." Misty, who was at the side, was really speechless with Brock, shook her head and said.
"No...not necessarily...." But Ash shook his head, attracting the eyes of Brock, Misty, and Pikachu.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that the old woman is lying?" Misty looked at Ash, puzzled, while Brock looked expectant, and Pikachu looked thoughtful.
"Don't you think that old woman knows too much..." Ash looked at Misty and Brock and analyzed.
"She said that the girl was transformed from a Ghost-type Pokémon, I believe it, but how did she know that this Ghost-type Pokémon is Gastly? Why not other Ghost-type Pokémon? Not even... ... Ditto?"
"Besides, how did she know that Gastly's purpose in doing this is to keep the legend of Maiden's Peak alive? Don't you think she knows too much?"
What Ash said immediately made Misty and Brock feel that something was wrong. Indeed, just as Ash said, the old lady knew too many things.
"But... Didn't the old lady say it, she wasn't sure if it was Gastly, and she didn't know if Gastly's purpose was really to spread the legend?" Misty asked hesitantly.
"It's such a coincidence..." However, it was not Ash who answered Misty's question, but Brock, who frowned tightly, resting his chin on one hand, and fell into deep thought.
"Since the old woman lied, what is her purpose?" Misty felt her mind was muddled, and she didn't understand what was going on.
This also confused Ash and Brock. Why did the old lady find Brock, and why did she lie? What was her real purpose?
"Pika, pikapi..." At this moment, Pikachu suddenly called out to Ash, and then Misty and Brock saw that Ash's face became a little strange.
"What did Pikachu say?" Misty asked hastily.
"Pikachu said...it felt a very special feeling from that old woman, a feeling like when facing a huge Dragonite." Ash didn't expect Pikachu to have such a feeling.
"Huge Dragonite?!" After hearing Ash's words, Misty and Brock looked at each other, and both could see the inconceivable look in each other's eyes.
The huge Dragonite is a Pokémon, and it is also suspected to exist in the realm of gods, and Pikachu... actually felt the feeling of a huge Dragonite from the old woman?
"Could it be a wrong feeling?" Brock couldn't believe it. A human body actually gave off the feeling of a Pokémon, especially the feeling of a giant Dragonite.
"Pika pika——!" After hearing Brock's words, Pikachu yelled at Brock twice to express his dissatisfaction. It has the inheritance of Ho-Oh, and its feeling will definitely not be wrong!
"Is there really something wrong with that old woman?" Seeing Pikachu's reaction, Misty and the others had to believe its feelings, so it seemed that the old woman's words could not be completely believed.
"No matter what, even if this old woman really has a problem, and she still has plans for us, she will come to find us again sooner or later, we just need to be careful." Ash didn't understand the reason, so he could only play it by ear.
"Hmm..." Misty and Brock didn't have the idea of going shopping anymore, after all, an unknown existence was following them, and they wanted to leave Maiden's Peak now.
After returning to the Pokémon Center, Misty was afraid to stay in the dormitory alone, so Ash could only accompany Misty, and Brock was also afraid, so he followed.
"They really found out..." Outside the window, Gastly looked at the three people in the room, frowning slightly. She didn't expect to be found out. This was something that hadn't happened for many years.
"Is this because of Rainbow Courage?" Gastly looked at Ash and smiled. Initially, it only wanted these three people to spread the legend of Maiden's Peak so that people would not forget it.
But now, Gastly was more interested in Ash. It wanted to battle Ash and see if he could foresee its disguise. Of course, it wouldn't harm Ash, even without Marshadow's warning and protection.
Pikachu, sensing something, suddenly turned its head and looked out the window, but found nothing there. It tilted its head in confusion.
"This Pikachu's senses are sharp..." Gastly observed Pikachu with curiosity after it looked away.
From the first time it saw Pikachu, Gastly felt that this Pikachu was different from ordinary Pokémon. This feeling became more apparent the more it interacted with Pikachu.
"The aura of the gods... why does this elite-level Pikachu have the aura of the gods..." Gastly couldn't figure it out, but it didn't stay to observe Ash and his friends any longer. It needed to prepare.
If Ash could foresee the next illusion it created, Gastly wouldn't be stingy with a small reward, although that reward was useless to it, but rare for humans.
"Hee hee hee hee..." Gastly let out a strange laugh before disappearing.
In the evening, Ash and his friends came to the restaurant to eat, but they had no appetite, especially Misty, who felt uneasy about sleeping alone in the dormitory at night.
"Are you okay?" Ash was in the best condition among the three, after all, he knew Gastly had no ill intentions towards them, while Misty and Brock didn't.
"No, nothing..." Misty fiddled with the food on her plate, shaking her head slightly, "I just don't have any appetite."
"How about this, the three of us stay together tonight, we won't rest, I don't believe it, Gastly can't avoid accidents!" Ash suggested, looking at Brock, who also looked the same as Misty.
"Okay!" Misty's eyes lit up, and she responded immediately, and Brock had no objection.
