Chapter 1160 Journey to the Spirit Realm
"How are you?"
Furong looked at Baimu, who seemed dazed, with concern.
no respond.
Several seconds passed before he came to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I just got a scolding."
"Get scolded?"
Furong didn't understand.
Who insulted him here? Who dares to insult him?
Kashiwagi rubbed his temples and explained softly, "Simply put, Groudon discovered me when I was touching the crimson gem."
Furong: "???"
The crimson orb can directly connect to Groudon? How come she's never encountered this situation before?
Although we don't touch each other every day, we do touch each other every now and then.
Faced with Furong's doubts, Bai Mu didn't know where to begin explaining, and he felt equally confused.
His intuition told him that this matter was most likely related to the Heart of God.
The prerequisites for triggering the Heart of God are focus and contact, which he just met. So somehow, he connected with Groudon's mind through the crimson orb.
Groudon wasn't about to confide in someone of unknown origin, so he angrily kicked him out.
Regice was absolutely right. Using Divine Heart on an unfamiliar Divine Beast is extremely dangerous. Even though Furuya withdrew her hand very quickly, Kashiwagi still felt as if his soul was in a magma hell.
It's hard to imagine what the consequences would be if I touched it any further...
Regardless of what others think, an epic battle in Hoenn is inevitable.
Neither Aggron nor the Calyrex that remained in Mt. Silver seem like Pokémon that can reason.
"How about... you try touching me differently?"
Hibiscus held up the indigo blue pearl and brought it close to him.
Bai Mu quickly waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't want to offend two people at once."
"That's it."
Fu Rong revealed an expression of disappointment that made him feel ashamed.
This girl probably wants to experience being scolded by Groudon and Kyogre, otherwise why would she be so eager?
As Bai Mu watched her put the pearl back, he suddenly thought of something.
【Grass-green jewel】.
I remember Professor Oak would give it to the player in HeartGold and SoulSilver, which could be used to catch Rayquaza in the Buried Tower.
I wonder if this thing even exists in the world of animation.
Should we ask Hoopa to help us look for it?
We’ll talk about it when we have a chance.
After Cypress and Hibiscus left the ancestral hall, the sacred mountain remained as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.
Groudon's roar only affects the mind and has no impact on the real world...
should?
Hopefully, it won't get grumpy from this and run off to land and cause a ruckus; that would be a huge mistake.
Let's also stop by Sky Pillar!
Kashiwagi decided to check if the beloved Dragon God Reikon was sitting there and give it a heads-up.
Unfortunately, there was no trace of the Different Colored Rift. He was more familiar with the Different Colored Rift than the Dragon God Rift, as they were old acquaintances who could peek into each other's past memories.
Ugh.
I wonder where it is gnawing on meteorites right now.
As Kashiwagi sipped his tea, he reminisced about his past encounter with the different-colored Retsuku.
at dusk.
After enjoying the special dishes made by Grandma Furong at Mount Song, the two began preparing for their nighttime operation.
"We need to be careful. Grandmother doesn't like me always going to the spirit world," Hibiscus whispered to Kashiwagi, as she put on the protective robes of a spirit medium.
A strapless top and a long skirt in different colors.
She then handed her a paper hat with candles stuck to both sides.
"This is a spirit hat. As long as you light a candle and wear it on your head, the evil spirits in the spirit world will not be able to detect your presence as a living person."
"What if I'm accidentally recognized as a living person?"
Kashiwagi wanted to know how to handle unexpected situations.
Upon hearing this, Furong patted his shoulder earnestly, "Tell your Pokémon not to go too far."
Kashiwagi: "Oh... um?"
The girl shrugged helplessly. "Come on, I'm a professional spirit medium! And you have a powerful Ghost-type Pokémon, how could you possibly encounter danger in the spirit world!"
The real danger lies with those evil spirits.
They mostly act on instinct, and they don't care whether Hibiscus and Cypress are champions or not.
But then they'll get beaten up.
Furong didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and besides, the spirit world was inherently inhabited by evil spirits; it would be a disturbance for living people to enter.
Therefore, the spirit cap is less about protecting the cypress trees and more about protecting them.
Kashiwagi: "..."
You know what, that makes a lot of sense.
The Pokémon world will always be a world dominated by Pokémon. Humans can use advanced technology to suppress them while they are alive, but what about after they die?
I'm just glad I didn't end up being sucked like a milk tea.
Many ghost Pokémon feed on negative emotions, and evil spirits happen to be abundant in negative emotions.
"Gengga~ Gengga~ Geng~~ga!"
The Shiny Gengar was doing push-ups incessantly to calm its restless mind.
It can't wait to accept the power of the spirit world!
come on!
Let the storm rage on!
The invisible Doronbalu looked down at it, thinking, "It's not even close to being a done deal yet, how come it's acting like it's within easy reach?"
The higher your expectations, the greater your disappointment, bro!
The dinosaur considered itself quite an authority on bad luck, and it had a vague premonition that Gengar would have a hard time getting what it wanted.
But it doesn't say.
As Dorombalutto believes, it's still far from over.
If the predictions of doom don't come true, that's fine; at worst, the person who predicted it will become a clown. But what if they do come true?
Thinking that it would be difficult for him to continue getting along with Gengar in the future (as they hadn't spent much time together anyway), Dragapult awkwardly dug out a three-bedroom apartment with its translucent tail in advance.
-
Send it to the sacred mountain.
It is divided into five layers in total.
Most Pokémon are buried here, with rows of silent tombstones standing in neat rows.
Furong said that some trainers did not want their Pokémon to be exposed to the wind and rain after they died, so they hollowed out the inside of the mountain to create such a cemetery.
Countless fluorescent stones illuminated the cemetery, making the faint cries sound all the more eerie.
"Woooooooo..."
ghost? No.
He is a heartbroken trainer.
Kashiwagi gazed at the boy crouching in front of the tombstone, sobbing softly, and thought of the green in the fan-made comic "King's Ritual".
After Rattata's unexpected death, he almost completely changed his personality, transforming from a spirited trainer into a cold and ruthless commander, which is truly heartbreaking.
Unfortunately, the author updated too slowly, so he didn't get to see Qinglu's moment of relief before he transmigrated.
"Life is always full of unexpected events, and sometimes we encounter things we don't want to happen, so I like to live in the moment!"
Furong looked at the boy as well and said softly.
Kashiwagi nodded and said, "Have you ever tried bringing the soul of a deceased Pokémon into reality so that it can meet its trainer?"
"Of course!"
Furong looked at him strangely, "This is the job of a medium! To guide the deceased Pokémon so that it can say its final goodbye to its trainer."
Kashiwagi suddenly realized, "That was my oversight."
He had always thought that spiritual mediums were only responsible for contacting spirits and resolving paranormal events in various places.
Should a legitimate spiritual medium possess such functions?
The two continued downwards.
Despite it being late at night, many people continued to linger in the cemetery, simply because there was a hotel built at the foot of the mountain specifically for mourners.
Arrive at the first floor.
Furong led him into an office, pushing open the innermost desk to reveal a large iron door that looked like a bank safe deposit box.
Kashiwagi: "This level of protection...is it for protecting against people?"
"Yes, evil spirits can pass through walls, so iron gates are ineffective against them. Their main purpose is to prevent others from breaking in."
Furong said with a hint of trouble, "People often come to Songshen Mountain under the pretext of supernatural exploration, causing a lot of trouble for Grandpa and Grandma."
"A couple of years ago, there was a thief, supposedly the king of thieves, nicknamed Jack the Phantom Thief. He somehow got wind of the plot to steal the pearl. But by some twist of fate, he ended up down there and almost couldn't get back up."
"Phantom Thief Jack, that sounds like a very courageous character."
He exclaimed in admiration, and couldn't help but think of the two female thieves in "Guardians of the Water City".
They were also fools who tried to steal the Heart Drops but ended up getting trapped instead.
The large iron gate opened with a creak.
All of a sudden.
A deep underground passage appeared before Bai Mu's eyes, with endless steps that seemed to lead straight to an abyss.
Call ~
A chilly breeze brushed against his face.
Dorambaruto silently materialized, wrapped its tail around his arm, and whispered, "Rutu~"
It was as if it was telling him not to be afraid.
Although Kashiwagi wasn't particularly afraid, the dinosaur's actions warmed his heart.
Of course, it's not the only one doing this.
Gengar was pressing its back against Cypress's chest, like a large plush toy, acting as his breast protector.
"They have such a good relationship~"
Furong said with a smile.
Kashiwagi glanced at the Night Demon that had appeared beside her at some point, took out a ball and opened it, "Since we've come this far, why don't you join us? Consider it a team-building activity."
boom!
"voice……"
The cold wind abruptly woke up the Galar sun coral.
It was placed on the cypress's shoulder, and it looked around at its surroundings with a blank and puzzled expression.
Furong chuckled, "Why does it still look so lazy?"
"It's just my personality."
Kashiwa patted the sun coral's head, and the latter stretched out its smoke-like tentacles in dissatisfaction, then slowly retracted them.
It looks just like a sea slug.
I didn't linger at the entrance for long.
After Bai Mu helped Fu Rong close the large iron gate, the two of them walked down the passage.
The only sound on the quiet stairs was the footsteps of the two people.
He tried to use the concealment technique, and his footsteps were immediately reduced to a single sound, causing Furong to frequently turn her head to look.
Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Kashiwagi calmly released his breath control.
The dinosaur and the gray fat man silently suppressed their laughter.
Trainers are so mean!
Upon successfully reaching the deepest part, the first thing that came into view was a huge stone gate.
The surface of the stone gate is engraved with countless ghost Pokémon, covering almost all of them that are neither legendary nor mythical.
"We've arrived! The Gate to the Spirit Realm!"
Furong put her hands on her hips, and the Night Demon Spirit beside her stepped forward and patted the stone door with its large, fan-like hand.
Bang bang bang!
A dull thud, as if solid, came from behind.
Kashiwagi asked, "Is the spirit realm beyond this stone gate?"
“That’s right! Long before someone used Songshen Mountain as a burial site, the bottom of the mountain was already connected to the spirit world.”
Fu Rong spoke eloquently: "In ancient times, the Hoenn people created a stone gate to clearly distinguish between life and death, sending all the souls that remained in the human world back to the spirit world and not allowing them to come out again."
As we all know, the ancient people in the anime often possessed special technologies that ordinary people could not understand.
What caused this crack?
When Kashiwagi asked this question, he already had a guess in his mind.
Sure enough, Furong said, "Some people have researched and said it was a great battle between Groudon and Kyogre a long, long time ago."
She spoke eloquently, "You see, Mount Kinosus is surrounded by water, right? That's because Groudon arched the earth to form an active volcano, and Kyogre surrounded the volcano with water in an attempt to extinguish it!"
In the ancient times, the two Pokémon often fought each other, so it might really be as Furong said.
"Anyway... wait? Why isn't there any response?"
She looked at the stone door that she couldn't open no matter how hard she tried, and said to the Night Demon, "Go in and see what's going on inside!"
"Yo-ho!"
The Night Demon nodded, and slowly squeezed into the stone gate as if swimming into the depths of the sea.
Furong added, "You can go in through the stone gate, but if it's not open, you can't go out; nobody can."
"How do we open it? Is it... a gatekeeper?" Kashiwagi remembered that she had mentioned at the Violet Hotel that each entrance to the Spirit World had a Pokémon guarding it.
Furong smiled and said, "That's right!"
As they spoke, the stone gate slowly opened.
Long——
With a dull thud, the massive gate, ten meters high, opened to Cypress and Hibiscus.
The Pokémon that opened the door were a whole bunch of Sableye!
"Dumb me, dumb me~"
"Dumb girl~"
Their voices sounded unusually low, as if they were in a bad mood.
But Hibiscus seemed even more displeased than the others. "You lot! You've been slacking off and sleeping again, haven't you?"
"Dumb..."
The bewitching eyes looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of the larger, more alluring eyes stepped forward, pointed at Hibiscus's nose, and scolded her, "Dumb girl! Dumb girl!"
"I am a spirit medium! The future inheritor of the Spirit Mountain! Of course I need to see what problems the Spirit Mountain has. Do you have any objections?"
Furong displayed a fierce and outspoken demeanor that was completely different from before.
The leader, with her seductive eyes, was rendered speechless by her words. She looked at Kashiwagi, about to say something, but was immediately silenced.
"This is another spirit medium I invited. You can tell by looking at his Pokémon, right? Most people don't have such powerful ghost Pokémon!"
"Dumb..."
The Soul-Stealing Eyes was speechless.
You've said everything, haven't you?
It turned its head away sullenly, no longer paying attention to the little girl who always liked to argue with her.
Seeing this, Furong pulled Baimu inside.
The moment he stepped through the gate to the spirit world, the unlit candle above his head immediately ignited with a ghostly blue flame.
And it's extremely hot.
It successfully attracted the attention of Furong and a group of alluring eyes.
"what?"
The girl was quite surprised, but quickly composed herself to avoid being noticed by the alluring eyes.
Bai Mu remained silent, deciding to ask questions once they were inside.
As the two stepped inside, the air grew increasingly cold, as if they had entered a sub-zero temperature zone.
Until the group of menacing eyes guarding the gate were no longer visible.
Furong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These guys are really troublesome, and they're especially shameless. No matter how nice you say to them or how many benefits you give them, they'll turn on you in an instant!"
“It’s my duty, I understand,” Kashiwagi replied.
