In the evening, everyone gathered in Ash and Brock's dormitory. The three of them weren't going to rest tonight. They would go directly to the harbor to buy tickets and leave the next morning.
"What about tonight? If we have nothing to do, we will fall asleep easily," Misty asked Ash and Brock while teasing Pikachu.
"Brock and I plan to discuss some training matters, and you can also participate," Ash explained.
"But it's impossible to discuss these all night..." Misty sighed slightly. It wasn't that she didn't like exchanging and cultivating experience, but those things were relatively boring, and after a long time, it was easy to get sleepy.
"We'll figure it out at the time, anyway, as long as we stay awake tonight," Brock shook his head. He didn't have any other suggestions.
"Pikachu, don't sleep!" At this moment, Misty found that Pikachu in her arms had started to feel sleepy, and immediately shook Pikachu vigorously to keep him from falling asleep.
"Pika..." Pikachu yawned and rubbed his eyes. Because he was so bored, sleepiness suddenly surged up, and if he had nothing to do, it wouldn't last long.
Ever since, Misty was in charge of waking Pikachu up, and at the same time was exchanging training experience with Ash. Except for the conversation between the few people, the room seemed a little too quiet, but the three of them didn't notice this.
Pikachu, who stayed in Misty's arms, suddenly felt an irresistible drowsiness in his heart. He leaned back slightly, against Misty's arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
But the strange thing was, Misty looked down at Pikachu in her arms, but didn't realize that Pikachu was already asleep. Instead, she nodded slightly and continued to communicate with Ash.
In Misty's eyes, Pikachu didn't fall asleep at all at this time, but was playing with himself, and his two little paws simulated a battle, hitting each other.
Ash and Brock didn't notice any abnormalities in Pikachu, and they still focused on their discussion.
After a while, Ash rubbed his face to soothe his tired eyes, but at this moment, he felt something was wrong, as if it was a little too quiet.
"Do you feel a little strange?" Ash raised his head and looked at Misty and Brock, showing doubts, "Don't you think it's a little too quiet?"
"It seems a bit quiet, but it's already night now, so it's normal for people outside to be asleep," Misty was slightly taken aback, but soon found the answer for herself. The clock on the wall had reached eleven o'clock, and most people should have fallen asleep.
"No...it shouldn't be like this," Ash frowned slightly, "Today is a festival, how could the festival end so early? Even if it is over, there should be many tourists still celebrating outside, right?"
After hearing what Ash said, Misty and Brock felt that something was wrong. Indeed, it was too quiet outside!
"Did something happen?" Misty stood up holding Pikachu, and Ash and Brock looked over, showing a look of astonishment, which made Misty a little strange, "What's wrong?"
"When did Pikachu fall asleep?!" Ash also stood up, picked up Pikachu, and shook him vigorously, but no matter how he shook, Pikachu was still asleep.
"How is it possible? Just now I confirmed that he was playing!" Misty also showed a look of astonishment. Before she stood up, she also confirmed that Pikachu had not fallen asleep. How could he have fallen asleep in such a short time?
"By the way, it must be that Ghost-type Pokémon. Is it really Gastly?!" Brock's face changed. He was quite knowledgeable about Pokémon.
Pikachu fell asleep without a sound, apparently due to the effect of Hypnosis.
The Ghost-type Pokémon that can learn Hypnosis through their own talents include the Gengar family, Spiritomb, and Palossand family Pokémon, and the Kanto Region does not have Spiritomb and Palossand, so there is no doubt that it is definitely a member of the Gengar family.
Based on what the old lady said during the day, it should be Gastly!
After Brock figured it out, he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he felt sleepy, opened his mouth, and finally fell back weakly, leaned against the chair, and fell asleep.
"Brock!" Ash exclaimed, wanting to wake Brock up, but Misty on the other side also experienced the same situation, leaning back in the chair and falling asleep, leaving Ash alone in the room.
...
"What the hell... what's going on?!" Ash took out a Poké Ball, looking around, but found no trace of the Pokémon. He opened the system's data interface, but couldn't find any traces of removable Pokémon data other than Pikachu.
At this moment, Ash also felt a surge of drowsiness. After gritting his teeth for a while, he still couldn't resist the invasion of drowsiness. He staggered and fell to the ground, falling asleep.
"Hee hee hee hee..." After Ash fell asleep, Gastly's figure appeared in the room. All of this was his masterpiece; it was his Hypnosis that caused the three of them and Pikachu to fall asleep.
"Don't go too far..." Marshadow emerged from the shadows, looking at Gastly calmly. If Gastly dared to harm Ash, it wouldn't stand by.
"Don't worry, I'm not that nasty fellow Nightmare God. I just want to test what's so special about the Rainbow Courage chosen by Ho-Oh." Gastly chuckled, unconcerned about Marshadow's warning.
After taking a deep look at Gastly, Marshadow confirmed that Gastly had no ill intentions and then reintegrated into the shadows. As long as Ash wasn't in any danger, it wouldn't interfere with Gastly.
Of course, Gastly knew that Marshadow hadn't left, but even if Marshadow had, it wouldn't touch Ash. After all, its purpose was to test him!
"And... this Pikachu..."
Gastly set his sights on Pikachu. The godly aura emanating from Pikachu made him very interested.
Pikachu was clearly at the elite level, yet possessed the aura of a god, which could only be possessed by Pokémon who had mastered the power of the law. This was a realm that even Gastly himself had not yet reached.
"So... what secret are you hiding?" Gastly approached Pikachu, wanting to probe its situation. If he could learn its secret, he might be able to take that step and enter the realm of the gods!
The realm of the gods was a realm that countless Pokémon dreamed of!
That was the realm that truly belonged to the gods!
