What kind of performance will the Anticipation Ability, combined with an actor's heart and Psychic Power, create in a Haunted House?
...
Haunted House backstage.
Fang Yuan and the others looked at the Tyrogue rolling on the ground, their expressions grave.
The Tyrogue's Trainer, a girl with long hair, stood up abruptly.
"Don't worry, it should have been targeted by that Dusknoir who likes to create Fire illusions—"
Teacher Zhou Youyou chuckled softly, "Has your Tyrogue not Grasp 'Foresight'?"
Generally, students who come to the Magic University Haunted House to challenge it are doing so to hone their Pokémon's resistance to the bizarre abilities of Ghost-type Pokémon.
Whether it's Odor Sleuth, Foresight, or various other methods of detecting the whereabouts of Ghost-type Pokémon, they can all be honed in the Haunted House.
Theoretically, Tyrogue should be able to Grasp the Foresight move, making it easy to deal with the Haunted House, but this Tyrogue was the first to be hit, which was really disappointing, and even its Trainer showed an embarrassed expression.
"This move... because it doesn't have much power, I haven't had it practice it much."
"Learn from your mistakes."
Teacher Zhou Youyou shook her head. There are too many Rookie Trainers who pursue "offensive" moves and ignore "status" moves.
In comparison, the performance of the few people brought over by Director Qi was not bad.
The scene then changed, and Lin Sen's Ivysaur appeared on the screen. This Ivysaur was releasing Sweet Scent as it walked, Absorb-ing its own Sweet Scent to relieve its fear.
A Gastly approached it and released Hypnosis from the ceiling. The Ivysaur only faltered for a moment, and then, because it subconsciously breathed in the Sweet Scent, it successfully broke free.
The Sweet Scent, which can make other Pokémon lose consciousness, has an invigorating effect on the Ivysaur itself, which produces the Sweet Scent. This is its way of fighting against illusions.
Seeing this, many Rookie Trainers watching exclaimed and pointed at the Ivysaur, while the Ivysaur's Trainer, Lin Sen, showed a proud expression.
"Not bad, but the difficulty of the Haunted House is gradual. Surviving one Hypnosis doesn't mean you can survive the next one." Teacher Zhou Youyou nodded after seeing Ivysaur's performance, indicating that this Ivysaur was well-nurtured.
"Ah! My Vulpix..."
Before long, a male Rookie Trainer stood up in a panic. On the screen, a petite and cute Fire-type Pokémon with six tails was constantly spinning in a Room.
Clearly, there were two doors in the Room, but it was always spinning in circles, unable to leave normally.
It was as if it had encountered a ghost wall, unable to distinguish directions, with blurred self-perception, not knowing where to go.
"Jie Jie~~~" Next to the Vulpix, a Sableye was looking at it with gem-like eyes.
Whoosh!!
A terrifying phantom emerged from the Sableye's body, and then it blocked in front of the Vulpix, deliberately letting the Vulpix bump into it.
With this bump, the Vulpix felt cold all over.
The Sableye showed a sinister smile, used all its strength to let out a loud scream, causing the Vulpix, whose consciousness had just recovered, to break out in a lot of cold sweat and faint directly.
"The Vulpix should have Psychic Power talent... to be scared unconscious by the 'Astonish' move..."
Fang Yuan blinked, watching the other Rookie Trainer's Pokémon either showing off their skills or being eliminated early, feeling extremely depressed. He hadn't seen Eevee and Magnemite anywhere, and was now utterly puzzled.
"Could something have happened? Eevee has the Anticipation Ability, and after watching so many horror movies, its mental fortitude should be strong. It shouldn't be eliminated so early. And Magnemite, its Psychic Power should be among the best of these Pokémon, its resistance to illusions shouldn't be weak, plus Thunder Wave can also resist illusions..."
Time passed, and of the initial eleven, only five remained.
The eliminated Rookie Trainers were all dejected, their initial confidence completely dissipated as their Pokémon fainted.
The Magic University's Haunted House was indeed not so easy to challenge.
"Lin Sen's Ivysaur has probably covered one-tenth of the course, making it the Pokémon that has progressed the furthest so far," Teacher Zhou Youyou suddenly said, "Next, the Ghost-type Pokémon's Astonish techniques will improve, let's see how long you can last."
The Haunted House supervisor's words surprised everyone. The furthest had only reached one-tenth of the course?
One had to know, Ivysaur had already withstood three attacks.
Fang Yuan was dumbfounded.
So what exactly happened to Eevee and Magnemite?
"Where's your Eevee?" Lin Sen next to Fang Yuan also asked, thinking that Fang Yuan should lose to him this time, right?
"Yeah, where's my Eevee?" Fang Yuan scratched his head and asked Teacher Zhou Youyou, "Excuse me... from the beginning, the screen hasn't shown any footage of my Pokémon, is there some kind of malfunction?"
"Hmm?" Teacher Zhou Youyou looked at Fang Yuan, recalling that Fang Yuan was the Rookie Trainer with two Pokémon.
"Indeed, I haven't seen Eevee and Magnemite either, which is not normal. Call the staff in charge of monitoring," Director Qi said.
"I'll ask," Teacher Zhou nodded.
The conversation attracted everyone's attention.
Just then...
The door to the backstage was suddenly knocked on.
A Haunted House staff member, covered in sweat, came in and said, "Were there an Eevee and a Magnemite released from here?"
"Something big has happened, who's their Trainer?"
"What's wrong?" Fang Yuan asked nervously.
"It's a mess, those two Pokémon have no intention of clearing the Haunted House at all. I don't know what happened, but they started chatting with the Haunted House's Pokémon..." The staff member in charge of monitoring was in disarray. It was the first time he had seen this situation, and he couldn't help but ask Zhou Youyou, "Teacher Zhou, how should we handle this situation? Should we just call them out?"
The staff member took out the remote control, and after pressing it, the screen changed, showing a two-armed human head and a headless monster, passionately discussing something with a Misdreavus.
"???" Teacher Zhou, Director Qi, Fang Yuan, and many Rookie Trainers.
The staff member said, "You see, it seems the Misdreavus hidden in the house was scared out by those two Pokémon, and then the three Pokémon started communicating... and finally, the Shuppet next door even came to visit."
"WTF??" Lin Sen couldn't understand. What was the operation of scaring the Haunted House's Pokémon? And where did the hair draped over Eevee come from? That creepy human head was Magnemite?
He looked at Fang Yuan, wondering how his Pokémon could be so bizarre, no, this Trainer was also abnormal!
"This..." Fang Yuan had a headache.
What kind of trouble was Eevee causing again?
"Huh..." Just as Fang Yuan was about to ask the staff to pull Eevee and Magnemite out, a scene that astonished Fang Yuan appeared. In the picture, Misdreavus created a small Shadow Ball, and following Misdreavus's teaching, Eevee kept pondering.
The environment of the Haunted House, the rich emotions and Ghost Energy, gave Eevee a new experience. The step of condensation that it hadn't completed outside was easily completed this time with Misdreavus's teaching. Eevee smiled, clearing the level was impossible, it was impossible to clear the level in this lifetime. The feeling of entering the Haunted House was like returning home. Every Pokémon inside was talented and would even teach moves. It really loved being inside.
Whoosh!
Shadow Ball appeared and disappeared. Eevee contentedly communicated with Misdreavus. Misdreavus, who had gained the core theory of "The Self-Cultivation of Actors" from Eevee, was also very happy. It happily opened the door, sent Eevee and Magnemite out, and pointed out a shortcut for them to leave.
"I always feel like something's not quite right..."
Fang Yuan scratched his head and said, "Should I not call them out for now?"
What if Eevee and Magnemite could learn something from the next Pokémon again?
