The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 8: A Powerful Chicken Paired with Basketball is Inevitable to Become a Top Star

The next day,

Lin Ye, who had been tossing and turning with Zorua until the wee hours of the morning, appeared at the dock on the western outskirts of Water Lily City early in the morning, yawning incessantly.

He didn't actually break the species barrier; he just had a crash course last night because he decided to start practical training with it this morning.

Yesterday, Lin Ye bought a total of thirty ordinary and ghost-type primary gems at Shuijing Department Store, and Zoroya absorbed a full five of them in one night.

That's a gem worth ten thousand dollars. Trainers in ordinary families usually only take it out to absorb when their Pokémon needs to break through a key bottleneck or learn some important move.

This major boost significantly condensed Zoroya's energy fluctuations, and he was full of energy, eager to find a superhuman to challenge.

This made Lin Ye feel that the money he had spent was well worth it, and he was very much looking forward to the two intermediate-grade gems he had reserved.

When Zorua woke up this morning, it insisted on going to Mount Shen, which was the best place for future cultivation that Lin Ye had mentioned to it last night.

After all, for Ghost-type Pokémon, there's probably no better place to train in Hoenn than Mt. Kami.

Mt. Kami is located on a small island near Lilycove City. If you don't have a large Water-type Pokémon, you need to take a boat, which is why Lin Ye appeared at the dock.

He quickly boarded the first ship, only to find that it would take more than an hour for the ship to reach Songshenshan.

So Lin Ye found a seat on the deck, intending to take a short rest and close his eyes to relax.

His body swayed slightly with the hull, feeling the salty sea breeze on his cheeks, and hearing the calls of gulls and some marine Pokémon leaping out of the water. A long-lost sense of relaxation made Lin Ye almost shout out in delight.

Just as his consciousness was becoming hazy, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him, as if some strange and eerie entity was hiding behind him, blowing cold air!

Strangely, he couldn't detect it with his spiritual power, which meant that the originator of the cold energy had no ill intentions towards him.

Lin Ye turned around and met a pair of icy, crystal-like eyes up close!

He saw surprise, shyness, and even a hint of girlish infatuation in her eyes.

Lin Ye looked up and opened his eyes, only to find that it was actually a humanoid Pokémon floating in the air, dressed in a classic kimono!

"Huh? Isn't that the Snow Fairy?"

Lin Ye thought that Froslass was a Pokémon that was only female, and that it valued appearance, especially young and handsome men.

Lin Ye not only met this condition, but also possessed the aura of necromancy, which undoubtedly attracted the Snow Fairy even more. No wonder she sought him out.

"Snow Fairy, you can't disturb other people's rest like that." A clear, melodious, and slightly apologetic girl's voice came from behind.

Lin Ye looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl who looked to be about sixteen years old walking quickly towards him.

She had long hair that reached her waist, tied with a red headscarf, and wore a red sleeveless shirt and hot shorts that barely covered her round buttocks, revealing a pair of straight and slender legs.

The girl stepped forward with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, the Snow Fairy usually stays quietly in my shadow. I didn't expect her to come out and disturb you this time!"

Upon closer inspection, the girl's appearance is even more striking, with fair skin and delicate features.

In fact, her perfect figure, outlined by her red sleeveless shirt and adorned with slender branches laden with fruit, was almost as stunning as that of his "landlady," Qiao Yijing.

But the girl in the red shirt and shorts looks only about sixteen years old. She'll be quite something in the future.

"Hey~, is this your Zoroa?! It's so cute, and it looks great!"

The girl noticed the adorable Zoroa, then saw Lin Ye, her eyes lit up, and she generously extended her hand to greet him:

"Hello, my name is Senri Haruka, you can just call me Haruka. I recently became a trainer and am currently on a real journey."

"As expected! No wonder she's the famous 'Milk Yao' from the original Blue Star novel; the original work didn't lie to me."

Judging from her surname, Lin Ye believes she is the daughter of the Thousand Mile Pavilion Master, just like in the anime.

However, in the anime, she debuted at the age of ten, while she previously mentioned that she had only recently become a trainer.

But it's not surprising. In a respectable world, who would let a ten-year-old child run around the world with destructive creatures? They would at least be an adult.

However, while Lin Ye was amazed by Xiao Yao's beauty, Xiao Yao's heart was also pounding with excitement.

Actually, Haruka herself is a bit of a looks-obsessed person, just like her Snow Fairy.

Lin Ye was a handsome campus heartthrob back on Earth. After learning necromancy, he gained an even more melancholic air that most people don't have, making him very attractive to the opposite sex.

If it weren't for Lin Ye's attractive appearance and temperament, Xiao Yao might not have taken the initiative to start a conversation.

"Your Snow Fairy is very beautiful, and she seems to have a very nice personality!"

Lin Ye praised the Snow Fairy, but unexpectedly the latter suddenly became very shy and excited, shouting "Eee-yah-yah~" while circling in the air.

May sighed in exasperation and quickly recalled Froslass with a Poké Ball:

"Sorry, my snow fairy doesn't act like this around other handsome guys. It's probably because you're so special!"

"He's really handsome!" Xiaoyao added to herself.

"Oh, right! I still don't know your name."

"My name is Lin Ye, and I've only recently become a trainer. I brought Zoroar to Mount Kami for training today! Are you one too?"

"Actually, I came here specifically to participate in the Grand Contest in Water Lily City."

But with more than ten days until the competition starts, I thought I might as well come and see the famous Songshen Mountain!

"The Grand Contest? That suits you perfectly. Snow Fairy is so beautiful. If you participate, you'll definitely attract a lot of attention."

Xiaoyao waved her hand shyly: "Thank you for the compliment, but Snow Fairy doesn't seem to like the Grand Contest. She's not very cooperative with me during training sessions."

Therefore, for the important tournament that's about to start in Lilycove City, I plan to use my starter Pokémon.

"Starter Pokémon! I'm really curious what a pretty girl like May would have as her starter Pokémon?"

Xiaoyao blushed and nodded, then threw out a Poké Ball. A flash of white light appeared, and a sturdy chicken with long, sharp claws stood on the deck.

"As expected, this hasn't changed!"

Lin Ye examined the strong chicken and found that it had indeed been bred very well. Its muscles were well-defined, its feathers were glossy, its eyes were bright, and its height and shoulder width were greater than those of its kind.

This shows that the Combusken in front of us is top-notch in terms of both talent and the resources and training it enjoys. No wonder it is the Pokémon of the Gym Leader's daughter.

"So your starter Pokémon is Combusken! I'm really looking forward to seeing how it performs in future tournaments!"

Xiaoyao proudly patted the strong chicken's head, then took out a basketball from her personal space backpack!

Lin Ye: ? ? ?

"Mighty Chicken, come on, show Lin Ye the opening performance we've prepared for the Grand Contest!"

Mighty Chicken took the basketball from Haruka's hands, and his eyes instantly became incredibly focused.

It took a few steps back to create space, dribbled the ball while dancing, its steps light and elastic, and finally dropped the ball after a spin, then turned and leaned on the ground.

"So, what do you think of my taste, Lin Ye?"

Lin Ye took a deep breath: "I think it's absolutely perfect! You're a genius! You've brilliantly showcased the strength and coordination of the Mighty Chicken!"

However, I have a small suggestion: if you style his hair in a middle part and put him in overalls before he goes on stage, he'll definitely become Fengyuan's top star!
