The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 44 A chilling aura

"It actually seems quite interesting~ I'll follow you for now, but we need to agree on some rules beforehand!"

"Three rules? Hehe~, you little rascal, you know quite a lot. Tell me!"

"First, although I'm going with you, my brothers have to stay behind to maintain this organization. I will continue to lead them in criminal activities if I have the opportunity in the future."

"Alright, alright~, you're really persistent! Here's what we'll do: I'll have Gastly stay behind to manage this organization you've started for the time being."

"Whenever there's something going on, we can have them do what they can, which also helps you train them. When you take over in the future, they'll be ready-made fighting forces."

"Great idea! I didn't expect you, a human, to be so to my liking!"

Secondly, I, being a ghost, can't stand being wronged. If I encounter anyone or any Pokémon that dares to mess with me, I will definitely seek revenge. Don't try to persuade me to repay evil with kindness then.

"Alright, alright~, I'm not exactly a saint, so I won't force you to swallow your anger."

If anyone dares to take advantage of me, I'll teach them a lesson myself, without you even having to tell me.

However, human society has basic rules; even when trying to harm someone, it must be done subtly, so as not to give them any ammunition.

"Hehehe~, I'm finding you more and more agreeable. You're much more sensible than my last trainer."

"The previous trainer? Looks like I was right, you really did train with a human trainer!"

"So what if he is? That guy is not qualified to be my trainer at all. He keeps telling me to obey the law and other crooked ideas. It's so annoying!"

He clearly has a lot of talent as a trainer, but he doesn't know how to bully others at all, and he always talks about friendship and bonds. He's so stupid!

I couldn't stand her at all. I'll find a chance to keep her here when she's not looking, and let her practice the Way of Bonds on her own. I'm going to become a ruthless demon king!

"Okay, okay~, most other Pokémon abandon their trainers because the other person doesn't understand bonds."

You Gastly, it's because you trained your family to be too upright that they don't understand your criminal activities.

"But those two points are fine, now tell me your third request."

"Hehe~, the third request is that from now on I will follow you. In most cases I can fight for you, except in one situation."

"What's going on?"

"That's doing good deeds!"

"As the saying goes, even thieves have their code of honor. I also have my principles. If you ever want to fight crime or do something righteous in the future, I will absolutely not help you."

On the contrary, if you want to do something heinous or thieving, Gastly, I will definitely cooperate fully.

"Okay, okay~ I used to think I was a very knowledgeable person, but I didn't expect you to refresh my worldview like this today."

Speaking of robbery, did you know there's a criminal organization in this city called the Poison Blade Society?

"How could I not know? I just joined a gang, so naturally I need to find out the local situation."

"That Poison Blade Society is quite powerful. I was originally planning to develop my strength for a while before going to fight them. What, boss, are you going to deal with them?!"

"I received intelligence that the Poison Blade Society is planning to steal a batch of Pokémon being delivered to Lilycove City soon, so I'm planning to go~"

"You're planning to stop them? Sigh... Didn't I just say I'm completely incapable of doing anything heroic..."

As Gastly was speaking, its eyes suddenly met Lin Ye's ambiguous, smiling gaze, and its words abruptly stopped.

After a moment of silence, their eyes and expressions gradually converged, followed by a silent, sly laugh.

…………

"What do you think they're laughing at?"

The sword sheath asked, puzzled.

"Gurgle~"

Soroya stared wide-eyed in confusion, tilting her head slightly.

"She's probably found a kindred spirit!" Snow Fairy offered her interpretation.

The human and the ghost stared at each other for a long time before the ghost finally said, "Could it be that you're planning to... double-cross me?"

Lin Ye smiled knowingly!

"Boss, if you had said so earlier, this fight would have been unnecessary!" Gastly looked like it had found a mentor.

"Don't get too worked up. We won't be doing this kind of thing often in the future!"

"I understand, I understand. These kinds of good things are rare, and besides, we're all doing important things. We can't just act all the time, or we'll expose ourselves! I get it, I get it~~"

"No way, what do you know!"

Lin Ye was too lazy to explain anymore, so he quickly ordered him to release the Night Patrol Spirit and the Shadow Doll that were being held captive, and then handed over the entire organizational structure to Gastly.

Gastly, having taken over the management of these dozens of imps, immediately felt a sense of authority and confidently told Lin Ye:

"Boss, you can rest assured that you'll handle Shuijing City with the three of us. We'll take care of everything perfectly."

The Night Patrol Spirits and the Shadow Dolls behind them nodded with silly smiles. They had been promoted directly from prisoners to the organization's management, and their mood was still fluctuating, but the one thing they were sure of was that all of this was given to them by Lin Ye.

"Alright, you guys first arrange for Ghost to keep an eye on that Rod for me, and we'll settle the score when the plan goes into action."

"Gurgle~"

Soroya nodded, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Also, during this time, try to gather as much information as possible about the Poison Blade Society members, especially that leader. It would be best to find out exactly how many Pokémon he has!"

Yes~~

After receiving their missions, the ghosts dispersed, and Lin Ye then looked at his new companion, Gastly:

"Before I came, I heard you guys were holding some kind of pep rally, so you must have some kind of goal!"

"Hehe~, to be honest, boss, I'm planning to take the brothers on a mission. Our target is a luxury cruise ship that came from Sinnoh Coast City."

"A luxury cruise ship! What made you think of robbing a luxury cruise ship?"

"Hehe~, this brings me to my former trainer. Although that girl was simple-minded and naive, she came from a very well-off family."

She traveled from Seaside City in Sinnoh to Hoenn on a luxury cruise ship, and the ship would stay at the Lilycove City dock for a few days.

Along the way, I witnessed firsthand just how extravagant those cruise ship passengers were. Who else would you rob if not them?!

Lin Ye said helplessly, "It's a good thing I came, otherwise you bunch of brats would be dead for sure!"

Haven't you ever considered how strong the security must be for a luxury cruise ship that can carry so many wealthy people at sea?

Besides, the Pokémon owned by those rich people are probably far superior to the ghost Pokémon you're bringing.

Upon hearing this, Gastly's eyes suddenly lit up, and it said, "That's right, that's right~, how could I have overlooked this?"

The reason that little girl was able to reach that level at such a young age is largely because her family is very wealthy and has abundant resources, not to mention the many other passengers.

"Oh dear, thank goodness! Luckily you stopped me, boss. Otherwise, one mistake on my part would have ruined all those guys."

"Was this just a minor mistake? In the future, you must conduct thorough research and think things through carefully before doing anything wrong, and act within your capabilities! Focus on industry pain points and identify weaknesses!"

"Yes, yes, yes~~, Boss, your idea is very comprehensive. I'm determined to follow you from now on and I promise to do all sorts of evil."
