Chapter 136 - Strange Challengers

What kind of performance will the Anticipation Ability, combined with the heart of an actor and Psychic Power, put on in a Haunted House? ...

Haunted House backstage.

Fang Yuan and the others looked at the Tyrogue rolling on the ground, revealing solemn expressions.

The Tyrogue's Trainer, a girl with long hair, stood up with a "whoosh".

"Don't worry, it should be targeted by that Dusknoir who likes to create Fire illusions—"

Teacher Zhou Youyou smiled gently, "Has your Tyrogue Grasp 'Foresight'?"

Generally, students who come to the Magic University Haunted House to challenge 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 ways to detect 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 not difficult 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 let it practice it much."

"Learn a lesson."

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, Absorbing its own Sweet Scent to relieve its fear.

A Gastly approached it and released Hypnosis from the ceiling. Ivysaur only was distracted for a moment, and then, because of subconsciously breathing in and Absorbing Sweet Scent, it successfully broke free.

Sweet Scent, which can make other Pokémon lose their minds, has an invigorating effect on the Ivysaur that produces Sweet Scent itself. This is its way of fighting against illusions.

Seeing this, many Rookie Trainers watching exclaimed and pointed at Ivysaur, while 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." After seeing Ivysaur's performance, Teacher Zhou Youyou nodded, this Ivysaur was cultivated quite well.

"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 Vulpix, a Sableye was looking at it with gem-like eyes.

Whoosh!!

A terrifying phantom emerged from Sableye's body, and then blocked in front of Vulpix, deliberately letting Vulpix bump into itself.

With this bump, Vulpix felt cold all over.

Sableye revealed a sinister smile, and used all its strength to let out a loud scream, causing Vulpix, whose consciousness had just recovered, to break out in a lot of cold sweat and directly faint.

"Vulpix should have Psychic Power talent... to actually be frightened unconscious by the 'Astonish' move..."

Fang Yuan blinked, watching the other Rookie Trainers' Pokémon either show off their skills or be eliminated early, feeling very depressed. He had not yet discovered the figures of Eevee and Magnemite, and was now extremely puzzled.

"Could something have happened? Eevee has the Anticipation Ability, and after watching so many horror movies, its psychological quality must be very strong, it shouldn't be eliminated so early. And Magnemite, its Psychic Power should be among the best among these Pokémon, its resistance to illusions should not be weak, and Thunder Wave can also resist illusions..."

Time passed bit by bit, and of the initial eleven people, only five remained.

The eliminated Rookie Trainers were all dejected, their initial confidence completely dissipating with the fainting of their Pokémon.

The Haunted House of Modu University was indeed not so easy to challenge.

"Lin Sen's Ivysaur has probably traveled one-tenth of the distance, 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 progress? One had to know that Ivysaur had already withstood three attacks.

Fang Yuan was dumbfounded.

So, how were Eevee and Magnemite doing?

"Where's your Eevee?" Lin Sen next to Fang Yuan also asked, this time, Fang Yuan should lose to him, right?

"Yeah, where's my Eevee?" Fang Yuan scratched his head and asked Teacher Zhou Youyou, "Excuse me... from the very 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 illogical, let's call the staff in charge of monitoring," Director Qi said.

"I'll ask," Teacher Zhou nodded.

The conversation of the few 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 is 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, a two-armed human head and a headless monster appeared, passionately discussing something with a Misdreavus.

"???" Teacher Zhou, Director Qi, Fang Yuan, and many Rookie Trainers.

The staff member said, "You see, it seems that 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 it, what kind of operation was 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, how could your Pokémon be so bizarre, no, you, the Trainer, are also abnormal!

"This..." Fang Yuan had a headache.

What kind of moth was Eevee stirring up again?

"Eh..." Just as Fang Yuan wanted to have the staff drag 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 understanding; the step of condensing that it had not 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 coming home, every Pokémon inside was a talent, and they would also teach moves, it loved being inside.

Whoosh! The Shadow Ball appeared and disappeared, Eevee communicated with Misdreavus with satisfaction, and Misdreavus, who had gained the core theory of "The Self-Cultivation of Actors" from Eevee, was also very happy, happily opened the door, sent Eevee and Magnemite out, and guided them to a shortcut to leave this place.

"I always feel like something is not quite right..."

Fang Yuan scratched his head and said, "Let's not call them out for now, shall we?"

What if Eevee and Magnemite could learn something from the next Pokémon as well?
