Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 559 The Advantage Lies With Me!

The fox demon lunged at Li Shuwen with bloodshot eyes, but she couldn't see the slightest panic on Li Shuwen's face.

Li Shuwen calmly clenched his fist, and a soft black light shone from it.

But the perceptive fox demon still sensed a dangerous, unsettling feeling from that faint black light.

The fox demon didn't have time to think it through; with her incredible speed, she had already delivered her to Li Shuwen.

Li Shuwen seemingly gently and slowly threw a punch at the fox demon.

The fox demon felt as if she were being targeted by an invisible natural enemy.

Li Shuwen's punch was unavoidable.

In that instant, the fox demon seemed to see a death star twinkling in the sky.

Then, Li Shuwen's Dark Nether Strike landed on her.

In an instant, the fox demon shattered into countless red crystalline fragments.

Like swallows returning to their nests, they flew swiftly towards the ceiling.

The priestess Kikyo quickly drew her bowstring and fired a spiritual arrow to purify the wound.

Gengar even stuck out its red tongue and blasted in the Killing Stone fragments.

The Flower Rock Monster also decided to test his willpower, but he didn't dare to eat too much, stopping after only consuming five pieces of the Killing Stone.

Because the fox demon was severely injured by Li Shuwen, the Flower Rock Monster doesn't need to worry about the fox demon using this to bewitch the mind.

After consuming the five fragments of the Killing Stone, the Flower Rock Monster's aura began to fluctuate noticeably.

Li Shuwen picked up a white fox tail from the ground. "Miss Kikyo, could you please help me identify this?"

Kikyo took the fox tail, her palm glowing with pure white spiritual energy, and closed her eyes to sense it.

A moment later, Kikyo suddenly opened her eyes, cold sweat trickling down her forehead. "What a powerful punch!"

Through this fox demon's substitute tail, Kikyo essentially experienced firsthand the punch that Li Shuwen had delivered to shatter the fox demon.

Kikyo looked at Li Shuwen with a puzzled expression, wondering if Li Shuwen was really a pure-blooded human.

Even for a martial artist, it's unusual for their punching power to be this strong.

Kikyo said, "The fox demon transferred most of the power from Mr. Shuwen's punch to this tail, which is why he was able to escape with most of the power."

Of course, Gengar's big tongue danced wildly, successfully intercepting a lot of the fox spirit's power.

"Now, let's go to the center of the fourth level and use the magic array to extract the fox demon's energy. It should go very smoothly."

"Perfect timing! With two powerful Ghost-type Pokémon, Rockruff and Gengar, supporting me, I can use all my Spirit Power to draw upon it."

"The extracted energy should provide a significant boost to Rockruff and Gengar."

Cynthia nodded. "So that's why you're raising two Misdreavus, right?"

Kikyo nodded. "That's right. In order to suppress the demons and monsters in the Spirit Bone Tower, I need a pure Ghost-type Pokémon to assist me."

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Besides the fox demon, are there other demons and monsters in the Spirit Bone Tower?"

Kikyo sighed, "Most demons and monsters have already eliminated their resentment and chosen to be reincarnated over the long years."

"But among the surviving vengeful spirits, the fox demon is not the most troublesome one."

Cynthia looked curious. "Are there other vengeful spirits?"

Kikyo nodded. "The most famous ones are probably the live-buried humanoids and the white demon hand. The white demon hand is less dangerous, but it has a wide range of activity."

"Those who are not restricted by the Bone Tower and whose shoulders have been touched by the white ghostly hand will experience bad luck for a period of time."

"As for the 'Live Burial Humanoid,' it will cruelly kill all humans and Pokémon that see it. Fortunately, it only operates on the fifth floor, and ordinary trainers will not venture into the fifth floor."

Cynthia nodded slightly. "I didn't expect there to be so many monsters in the Spirit Bone Tower."

"Shuwen, should we go to the fifth floor and confront them?"

Li Shuwen waved his hand, "No rush, let's ask Grandma Ju's opinion first. After all, we're not experts in this field."

Kikyo nodded. "The fifth floor is indeed very dangerous. I have been guarding it for five years, and I can only do so at noon in the summer when the yang energy is at its peak."

"Go up to the fifth floor to inspect and repair the magic array there. Only then will the suppression of ghosts be at its strongest."

Li Shuwen nodded. "So, you deliberately chose this time to carry out the demolition, right?"

Kikyo nodded. "That's right. After I finish my last shift, I can finally let go of my identity as a shrine maiden and return to a normal life."

Li Shuwen blinked. As soon as Kikyo said those words, Li Shuwen felt that Kikyo would be in danger.

Cynthia looked at Li Shuwen and felt that they needed to help the dutiful Kikyo priestess.

A beautiful young girl spends her days guarding the columbarium, dealing with all sorts of demons and monsters.

It was really tough.

Li Shuwen nodded, "Okay, let's go to the fourth floor center now."

Upon arriving at the magic array that Kikyo usually guarded, Li Shuwen immediately felt a fresh and pure spiritual energy nourishing his body.

Kikyo smiled and said, "Because of this magic circle, both the body and mind are nourished, so staying in the Spirit Bone Tower is not actually that hard."

At the center of the magic circle, on a futon, Naz was kneeling and meditating with her eyes closed.

Li Shuwen greeted her with a smile, "Miss Nazi, I didn't expect you to have entered the Spirit Bone Tower ahead of schedule. Have you gained anything?"

Cynthia also looked at Natsumi, and with just one glance, she was certain that Natsumi had no improper thoughts about Li Shuwen.

Sabrina is a very pure psychic, and she probably only thinks about becoming stronger.

From the way Sabrina looked at Li Shuwen, Cynthia only saw fighting spirit.

"Master of the Library, after the matter of the Spirit Bone Tower is settled, I hope to have another three-on-three battle with you."

Li Shuwen nodded. "No problem."

Kikyo begins activating the magic circle, drawing power from the demons on the fifth floor.

"Once the magic array is activated, the monsters on the fifth floor will definitely retaliate. At that time, we will need a few of you to help deal with them."

Seeing the way Gengar's eyes lit up after absorbing the spiritual energy, Li Shuwen nodded and said, "No problem, leave it to Gengar."

"I believe Gengar will unleash unprecedented fighting power in order to eat more."

Gengar also puffed out its arms, showing off non-existent muscles, "Gengar!"

After absorbing the fox demon's power, the fluctuating aura of the Flower Rock Monster quickly stabilized.

A mysterious dream demon also appeared beside Sabrina.

"This is a new Pokémon I caught in the Johto region. With the addition of Mismagius, my Psychic-type Pokémon have received a new boost."

The fox demon on the fifth floor felt the magic array begin to drain her power.

The fox demon, having calmed down, began to dart her eyes around frantically.

After being punched by Li Shuwen, the fox demon came to terms with reality.

She couldn't possibly be a match for Li Shuwen on her own.

We must unite with the other powerful individuals on the fifth level.

Li Shuwen is such a big piece of cake, the fox demon can see it but can't eat it.

Naturally, they were unwilling to accept this.

Even if some needs to be shared with other ghosts, the remaining portion is still enough for the fox demon to eat its fill.

Among the strongest on the fifth level, the Buried Humanoid and the White Ghost Hand are naturally the most prominent.

It seems that the white ghost hand poses the least threat.

But the white ghost hand is actually the most powerful evil spirit.

Because it was only the white ghost hand, it successfully sent one of its hands out of the Spirit Bone Tower, allowing it to move freely within the Lavender Town area.

Absorb human life energy to accumulate the power to break through the seal.

The fox demon found the two of them and simply told them about Li Shuwen's situation. They immediately agreed to act with the fox demon.

Let's take down Li Shuwen first. As for how to divide the spoils, that's up to their abilities.

Kikuko, who had been sitting outside in the sun, got up and rubbed her lower back.

"Looks like I need to stretch my old bones a bit. That kid Li Shuwen is really effective at luring those old ghosts on the fifth floor."

"If Shiba saw Shuwen, he would definitely envy his good physique. Shiba has been honing his body for thirty years, but he is still not as good as an eighteen-year-old."

A somber atmosphere seeped from the ceiling into the fourth floor.

Kikyo keenly sensed something was wrong and immediately reminded Li Shuwen, Cynthia, and Sabrina to be careful.

He immediately knelt before the statue and chanted an unknown incantation, making the power of the magic array even stronger.

It forms a white barrier that can suppress the power of evil and vengeful spirits.

Before long, an eight-tailed fox demon appeared outside the magic circle, its body wrapped in bandages, its form twisted as it lay on the ground like a human being buried alive.

And floating in the air, a monster wearing a wizard's hat, its body covered by a white cloth, revealing only its eyes and two white ghost hands.

Cynthia spoke up: "Granella, use Dark Pulse!"

The black ring swept across, only the humanoid figure buried alive was knocked away.

The eight-tailed fox nimbly darted away, and the white ghost vanished, reappearing in another location in the air.

Despite being hit by the Dark Pulse of the Flower Rock Monster, the buried humanoid was surprisingly not seriously injured.

The humanoid being buried alive was extremely arrogant, declaring, "I am an undying vengeance; this level of power cannot harm me at all!"

Sabrina gave the order, "Mission Jaeger, use magical fire!"

Purple flames formed a vortex in front of the Dream Demon, engulfing the buried humanoid figure.

The buried humanoid waved its ghostly hand, scattering the magical flames.

"Muda! Muda!"

Cynthia snorted and took out a Poké Ball. "If it really didn't work, you wouldn't have dispelled the magical flames."

"Arcanine, Flare Blitz!"

The majestic and imposing figure of the Jade Goblin appeared before the three vengeful spirits.

The majestic and sacred aura of the Jade Goblin sent a shiver down the spines of the three wraiths.

With a howl, the Azure Goblin roared, and golden flames quickly enveloped its body before it hurtled towards the Buried Humanoid.

The buried humanoid panicked slightly and extended its bandages, trying to stop the charging of the Azure Growlithe.

However, the bandage was instantly burned to ashes upon contact with the golden flames.

Then, the buried humanoid was directly knocked away by the Green Growlithe.

The dancing golden flames burned the buried humanoid into charcoal, sticking it to the wall so tightly that it couldn't be pried off.

The white ghost's expression changed; being the most astute at assessing situations, it immediately tried to run away.

But when the white ghost turned around, he saw a smiling, chubby purple man standing in front of him.

He also carried a dark shadow orb in each hand.

Seeing the white goblin turn around, immediately smear the shadow ball on the white goblin's face.

The powerful shadow ball knocked the white ghost to the ground.

As soon as the white goblin got up, it saw the Azure Gale Dog with flames in its mouth.

A blazing pillar of fire erupted from the mouth of the Azure Goblin, scorching the white monster's body.

The Flower Rock Monster appeared before the Eight-Tailed Fox, unleashing its full power of evil energy.

Seeing the evil energy wave coming straight at them, the Eight-Tailed Fox couldn't understand why a Flower Rock Monster could be so fast!

What else could it be?

Of course, it's because this is Cynthia's Flower Rock Golem!

Sabrina's eyes emitted a blue light, and the Dream Demon appeared in front of the Buried Humanoid.

This time, the blazing magical flames quickly engulfed the buried humanoid figure that had just been pried off the wall.

With Sabrina's superpowers amplified, the magical flames became exceptionally hot, causing the humanoid body to shrink and eventually turn into a large, black lump.

Gengar flew up to Bury Alive and seemed somewhat tempted.

Li Shuwen quickly said, "No, you can't eat this, it'll make you sick!"

Gengar puffed out his chest, along with the things that Gengar, the most evil in the world, cannot eat.

Li Shuwen said with some disgust, "This stuff is too dirty. If you dare to eat it, don't ever come home again."

Li Shuwen pointed to the white ghost, "Eat this to nourish your body."

Under the scorching flames of the Azure Goblin, the white ghost's ghostly body is becoming dim.

The accumulated resentment was also gradually purified by the golden flames.

The buried-alive humanoid looked like a zombie, with a lot of toxins in its body.

Although Gengar has a poison attribute, Li Shuwen was still worried that it would get diarrhea after eating Buried Alive.

The white ghost suddenly erupted, breaking free from the golden flames and turning to run away.

Gengar quickly opened its mouth to bite, but only managed to swallow a white ghost hand.

Gengar's eyes widened instantly; its white demonic hand was even more powerful than Fox Spirit's Killing Stone!

Previously, there was only Kikyo; these spirits and Kikyo were merely mutually wary of each other.

But today, with the help of Li Shuwen, Cynthia, and Natsume.

Even with the three monsters joining forces, they were still utterly defeated.

The final eight-tailed fox demon was completely unable to escape the clutches of the Flower Rock Monster.

Finally, it was shattered into red crystals again, leaving a tail on the ground as it escaped.

The humanoid figure was buried alive, and the white ghost appeared to have been eliminated by Li Shuwen and his group.

In reality, only the clones they sent to the fourth level were destroyed.

Their true forms are still on the fifth level. Although they have lost a lot of power, at least they have not been completely destroyed.

The seven-tailed fox frowned and said, "I don't understand. The three of us are clearly the most powerful ghosts in the Spirit Bone Tower, so why can't we defeat those humans even when we join forces?"

The white ghosts floated up and down. "Lure them to the fifth floor; then the advantage will be ours!"

"Cough cough cough~"

Accompanied by the sound of a wooden cane slamming on the ground, the sound of an elderly person coughing echoed from the fifth floor.

The humanoid being buried alive was beaten the worst. Turning around in rage, she shouted, "You old human wretch, I'll send you to your death right now!"

Kikuko said calmly, "Oh, then we'll see if you have the ability."

After saying that, countless Gengar emerged from Kiku's shadow.

They all wore wicked smiles and stared at them menacingly.

The seven-tailed fox's voice trembled, "Why are you, a human, keeping so many Gengar?"

Kikuko waved her wooden cane. "What are you all waiting for? Let's eat."

The Gengar all pounced on them. Even though the three great monsters struggled with all their might, they couldn't stop the Gengar, Haunter, and Gastly that were still pouring out.

Finally, they were all swallowed up by the ghostly figures.

(I'm much better now, thank you everyone for your concern, please take care of yourselves.)
