All afternoon, Gastly extended its large tongue, licking Arbok from head to toe.
Though indeed the Lick move was correct, Lu Ye always suspected Gastly coveted the venom.
Paralysis effect triggered. Arbok's entire body stiffened, collapsing to the ground, its upper jaw's venom glands visibly shrivelling.
Lu Ye's expression was strange. Several times, he wanted to stop Gastly but hesitated repeatedly.
Whatever... interrupting others midway wasn't proper.
On the other side, Xia Quan, an Elite Poison-type trainer, wore a completely baffled expression.
Though Gastly had quadruple poison resistance, Arbok shouldn't be suppressed this badly!
Who exactly was the Elite trainer here?!
"Hey, you kid!" Xia Quan gritted her teeth. "What does your family do?"
"Families capable of breeding such Gastly would still need battle clubs?"
Lu Ye sighed. "I also want to know how I bred it."
Shouldn't be possible. How could Gastly suppress Arbok? Did something go wrong somewhere?
Seeing Lu Ye's genuinely sincere appearance, Xia Quan couldn't explode, helplessly recalling Arbok.
"Don't come to this club next time." Xia Quan sighed.
Lu Ye said in surprise, "Why?"
"Didn't you see my Arbok was nearly sucked dry?!"
Arbok suffered severe vitality damage. Toxins couldn't recover quickly either.
Lu Ye left the training venue guiltily, murmuring, "Never thought besides dirty tactics, even Koga's training methods were this dirty..."
"Tsk tsk, seems this Poison Elite Four can't be deeply befriended!"
All afternoon, though Gastly hadn't mastered Toxic yet, its poison adaptation improved significantly.
Arbok's venom could even enhance Gastly's future Toxic power.
Though Lu Ye merely observed throughout, he believed he still played an indispensable role.
Lu Ye murmured, "Could I actually be a training genius?"
"Kekeke!"
Glancing at Gastly beside him, Lu Ye noticed something wrong.
Having absorbed Arbok's venom, Gastly's mist turned dark green, occasionally bubbling small bubbles.
As Gastly floated, liquid collision sounds echoed from its body.
Several venom drops fell to the ground, 'sizzle' corroding small holes in stone slabs.
Gastly grinned awkwardly, showing an embarrassed smile.
Lu Ye's expression changed. "Let's go, to the Pokémon Center!"
"Kekeke?"
Before Gastly reacted, red light recalled it into its Poké Ball.
The Pokémon Centre wasn't far from the training venue.
Lu Ye rushed into the hall, entrusting Gastly's Poké Ball to the nurse, deeply bowing.
"Troubling you!"
The nurse smiled and nodded. "Don't worry. Examination takes half an hour. Please sit briefly."
Lu Ye nodded, sitting on the bench, feeling spine-chilling cold.
Wiping his forehead sweat, Lu Ye lowered his head, gnawing his fingers.
Half an hour later, the emergency room's red light turned green.
The serious-faced doctor removed his mask, looking at the quickly approaching Lu Ye, saying somberly, "This situation..."
"Doctor, is it serious?!"
"This situation..."
"Doctor, speak!"
The doctor glared fiercely at Lu Ye.
"Gastly just overate! I'll prescribe digestive tablets shortly!"
"Huh?"
An oily-faced Gastly, under smiling nurses' gazes, wobbled, floating from the emergency room.
"Kekeke!"
Gastly glared at Lu Ye, somewhat dissatisfied.
Why send me to the emergency for nothing!
Lu Ye relaxed, glaring back defiantly.
"You nearly scared me to death!"
Gastly lay there for half an hour. The dark green improved slightly, but was still faintly greenish.
The doctor explained, "Gastly merely absorbed other Pokémon's toxins, temporarily showing rejection reaction, but fundamentally no major impact."
"Moreover, your Gastly's appetite is quite good."
The doctor smiled, poking Gastly, then suddenly stiffened, collapsing straight.
"Holy crap, Doctor, you okay!"
"Ahaha, little joke. This old man was also a trainer in youth..."
"Doctor, you're foaming at the mouth..."
"These are minor issues, no problem, hahaha!"
Finally, the doctor used trembling hands to write Lu Ye's medical report.
This made Lu Ye deeply admire medical personnel again.
Gastly's rejection wouldn't last long, maximum one day.
Koga's [Toxic Experience] also recorded this situation, providing corresponding explanations.
But Lu Ye feared Gastly's sudden condition, thus his concern caused confusion.
Sunset descended westward.
Lu Ye dragged his weary body walking down the streets, a bewildered Gastly beside him.
"Don't force yourself anymore." Lu Ye was rarely serious.
"For me, whether training moves or becoming a trainer, nothing matters more than you!"
"Kekeke..."
Gastly's emotions were also somewhat low, quietly floating beside Lu Ye.
Originally, Lu Ye didn't want to be a trainer purely from personal considerations.
He worried about personal safety, worried his money would be wasted.
But spending this time with Gastly, he worried more about Gastly getting hurt.
Since worldline changes, Lu Ye constantly pondered this question.
Did Pokémon genuinely accept training and willingly battle? Or were they forced by trainers' demands to risk their lives?
Lu Ye didn't negate the trainer profession.
But personally, championship and trainerhood lacked appeal.
He only wanted to quietly enjoy this world coexisting with Pokémon.
"Alright." Lu Ye smiled faintly. "Stop looking glum."
Lu Ye extended his hand into Gastly's black mist, forcibly pulling Gastly's mouth corners upward.
Fingertips transmitted paralysis waves. Lu Ye smiled slightly at Gastly.
"Smile."
"Kekeke~!!"
Gastly's tears splashed, but he desperately grinned widely.
What did Gastly most want?
Repaying Lu Ye.
Viewing the world's highest scenery with Lu Ye together.
Even if battered, Gastly would definitely fulfil Lu Ye's wish.
Though Master lacked time constantly, Gastly knew Lu Ye's greatest wish was to become a trainer.
Otherwise, why would Master constantly play tactics-related games?
This must be Master's continuous efforts toward becoming a trainer!
I must work hard too!
Sunset descended. One person and one Gastly's shadows continuously lengthened.
Lu Ye muttered lowly, "I genuinely didn't want to be a trainer..."
Gastly's eyes gleamed, floating majestically in the road's centre.
"Kekeke!" (I must make Master become a trainer!)
