Chapter 116 A Rare Rest
Chapter 116 A Rare Rest
"Xiao Hai, you're back?"
Ghost Sea was receiving a “warm welcome” from the Gengar clan when Granny Gu’s kind voice came from behind him.
Without turning back, Guihai continued forward and saw his mother-in-law smiling at him from the doorway.
"Grandma, I'm back."
Granny Gu took two steps forward, ignoring the shadows around Gui Hai, and pulled him into the Other Shore Tower.
"It's good to be back. Let's go inside and rest for a bit. You must be tired from the journey."
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
Passing through the empty first-floor hall, the second to seventh floors filled with memorial tablets, we arrived at the eighth floor of the Other Shore Tower, where Ghost Sea resided.
Upon seeing Guihai, the Snow Fairy immediately rushed up and gave him a hug.
The teapot spun around, bringing over a cup of tea.
Many little creatures peeked out from the shadows and greeted Gui Hai.
Looking at the room full of ghosts and monsters, the surrounding environment seemed eerie, but Gui Hai felt so comfortable and at ease here.
It was as if he belonged here.
“Kou Jie”.
Gengar, Mimikyu, Rotom, and the Twin Blades emerged from the shadows of the Ghost Sea.
Pulling two Azure Flame Blade Demons along, they excitedly greeted their welcoming underlings.
Then they enthusiastically introduced their new partner to the Pokémon in the Other Tower.
The two Azure Flame Blade Demons were somewhat reserved upon suddenly encountering so many elite and even gym-level Pokémon.
However, most of the ghosts were mischievous and soon they were fighting and playing around.
Watching Gengar and the others burst into laughter, Ghost Sea and Granny Gu settled down on the sofa.
"It's been almost two months since you left. Xiaohai, what do you think of the outside world?"
As soon as Grandma Gu sat down, she asked about the thing she cared about most.
She wasn't worried about Guihai's safety, even though this time Guihai was going out to face either the Elite Four members of the Revival Society or legendary Pokémon.
But she still believed in her child's abilities and that he would return safely.
She was more concerned about Guihai's views on the outside world.
This is related to Guihai's psychological development.
This is the problem that has worried her the most and has been the most difficult to solve in recent years.
Now that Guihai has finally managed to go out, she wants to know his attitude towards the outside world.
Gui Hai thought for a moment and said very seriously, "The outside world is both beautiful and cruel. There are good people and bad people. Most importantly, there are strong people outside."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu's face lit up with a smile.
Although Guihai may not be highly regarded by outsiders, that's enough.
This proves that Guihai has established contact with the outside world and will no longer remain in this tombstone-like tower to slowly decay.
"There are indeed many strong people outside, and communicating with them is the fastest way to become stronger."
Grandma Gu nodded with a smile.
Then he asked about other things.
For example, whether Guihai eats well or dresses well outside.
Did you encounter any interesting people or Pokémon?
Guihai would chat with his mother-in-law every now and then about his recent trip.
But now, when Grandma Gu asked him questions, he obediently recounted his journey again.
During a casual chat between the grandparents and grandchildren.
Night fell once more at the Tower of the Other Shore, and darkness enveloped everything around it, making it a forbidden place for all living beings.
Suddenly, thick black mist rose around the Tower of the Other Shore, and a strange, grating laugh echoed from within the mist.
Gengar, riding on the black mist, led its kind, wandering around the tombstone like a ruler inspecting its territory, beginning its daily patrol.
............
The next morning.
I ate breakfast made by Gengar.
Instead of training Azure Flame Blade Demon and the others, Gui Hai took a rare break.
After nearly two months of travel, it wasn't just the Pokémon that were exhausted.
Guihai also felt that he needed to rest for a while and properly digest the gains from the journey.
For a week, Ghost Sea and the Pokémon did nothing.
Guihai usually drinks tea, reads books, or studies ancient scripts, compiling the things he has translated into an ancient script textbook.
He also tried to master the ancient script on his own, so that he wouldn't need systematic translation in the future.
Gengar's life is even more interesting.
Gengar takes on various roles every day, including butler, cook, and boss of the Tower of the Dead.
She also prepares various professional outfits for herself, changing into different styles of clothes when playing different roles.
Even more changeable than Ditto.
Mimikyu doesn't have any particular ambitions; it just likes to stay by Ghostsea's side and eat delicious food, or be dragged by Gengar to change into costumes of other Pokémon.
Rotom, on the other hand, somehow established contact with Fu Jing's Rotom and ordered a batch of mechanical toys from the Fu family using Gui Hai's account.
Every day, he possesses a new toy and wanders around the Tower of the Other Shore, forming a robot team with the other Rotoms in the tower, as well as the Bug-Electric and Viperbug that always follow him, to stage a sci-fi battle.
I'd really like to train with dual sword sheaths.
It knew that Guihai wanted to challenge Longcang, but the team lacked high-end combat power, so it wanted to become stronger as soon as possible to help Guihai.
However, Guihai allowed it to rest.
How can it rest peacefully under such circumstances?
So he had no choice but to ask Guihai for a longsword maintenance kit and polish it himself.
The two Azure Flame Blade Demons overcame their initial shyness upon arrival.
It quickly became familiar with the other Pokémon in the Otherworld Tower.
Every day, I visit the Pagoda and its surroundings with new friends.
The two little guys explored every hill, forest, lake, and river surrounding the Tower of the Other Shore.
With the return of these lively characters, the Tower of the Other Shore seems much more bustling than usual.
After finishing the ancient script textbook, Guihai stretched his back in his chair and said to Gengar, who was dressed as a butler and standing not far away, "Gengar, give me a glass of tree juice."
"口桀 (It's my pleasure to serve you.)"
Gengar bowed slightly with its round body, then put its short arms into its four-dimensional pocket, rummaged around for a bit, and pulled out a glass of tree sap, placing it next to Ghost Sea.
"Please enjoy."
"Mimi. (Give me a cup too.)" Mimikyu, who was squatting on the table and stuck to Gengar's side, smelled the sap and shouted for Gengar to give it a cup as well.
As if Gengar had been prepared, it placed another cup in front of it, and thoughtfully inserted a long straw.
Gui Hai picked up the tree juice and took a small sip. He found it sweet and sour, as if it had been made from several kinds of sweet and sour tree fruits.
It has to be said that Gengar is also very talented as a chef.
"How was everyone's rest?" Guihai asked, putting down his cup and inquiring about Pokémon's thoughts.
"Koujie." Gengar maintained its butler's demeanor, speaking seriously that you've rested well during this time and can resume training.
Mimikyu sucked on its straw without saying a word, but swayed its body, making its Pikachu costume nod in agreement.
Guihai glanced at Rotom, where a technological war was unfolding outside, the twin scabbards sharpening their blades, and the Azure Flame Blade Demons running rampant across the mountains and fields.
"Since everyone feels they've rested enough, let's go to the fourth basement level to cultivate for a while."
