Qing Wu understood how he had been ambushed. Honestly, Qing Wu was also careless and negligent; he should have had his Mightyena scout the surroundings.
A Psychic-type was definitely lurking nearby, using a Poké Ball with pre-set Psychic-type space coordinates to teleport to Qing Wu.
Qing Wu swept his flashlight around. The data on Trial Island contained detailed information on Ghost Mountain. Qing Wu had also made many strategies to deal with Ghost-type Pokémon.
Ghost Mountain was divided into three layers. The first layer was the Tombstone Layer, which was mainly located on the outer perimeter of Ghost Mountain.
This was where the Pokémon of Team Rocket that had died were buried, and many of Team Rocket's trainees who had died were also collectively buried here.
This helped in the birth of new Ghost-type Pokémon, and occasionally some malevolent Ghost-type Pokémon would directly manipulate recently deceased corpses to attack passing Pokémon and trainers.
After all, in addition to self-reproduction, Ghost-type Pokémon also had a relatively ancient transformation mode: a soul with obsession would be eroded by Ghost-type energy, eventually transforming into a Ghost-type Pokémon.
Such Pokémon would lose their memories from their past life upon rebirth, but their combat power would be slightly stronger than normally bred Ghost-type Pokémon, and they were very likely to possess special abilities.
Qing Wu remembered that in his previous life, a Team Rocket trainee had discovered a differently colored Gastly, flickering with white flames, on Ghost Mountain. It possessed super strong Fire-type talent.
Qing Wu judged this to be the soul of a powerful Fire-type Pokémon transforming into a Ghost-type Pokémon. Unfortunately, when he heard about this, Qing Wu was already lurking in the warship team performing missions.
Qing Wu didn't have time to seek out how to obtain this Pokémon back then.
The second layer of Ghost Mountain was located in the middle of Ghost Mountain. Entering through the cave at the top of Ghost Mountain, it housed a large number of Ghost-type Pokémon and was also the most important breeding ground for Ghost-type Pokémon.
The Pokémon eggs hatched from Ghost-type Pokémon that had been bred were hatched here. According to Team Rocket trainees who had entered the second layer of Ghost Mountain, the second layer of Ghost Mountain was filled with unhatched Pokémon eggs.
The third layer of Ghost Mountain was located at the bottom. This place was basically where old ghosts who had accumulated for years resided.
They had created a fake underworld. The Pokémon living here were basically Level 50 or above.
It could be said to be quite dangerous. This third layer was often misty and hazy. Qing Wu understood that this was the aura of the fake underworld.
"I hope this Pokémon has already been born." Qing Wu slowly and warily walked forward. Affected by the gloomy atmosphere of the fake underworld, the light from his flashlight could only illuminate the scene within a meter.
This was a visual error caused by the flashlight's light being affected by diffuse reflection of the fog.
Because it was underground, the temperature here was nearly 20 degrees lower than normal.
The entire cave was eerily quiet. Only the occasional flapping of a Mightyena's wings and the footsteps of Kora-kora echoed on the ground.
In this quiet cave, Qing Wu could even hear his own heartbeat, thumping loudly.
Qing Wu knew he should be on the second layer of Ghost Mountain. According to Qing Wu's estimation, these trainees would at most reach the second layer.
After all, Psychic-types were a great supplement for Ghost-type Pokémon, like a torch in the dark. Ghost-type Pokémon would continuously intercept and kill Psychic-types.
Qing Wu hesitated for a while, then directly threw out a Poké Ball, releasing his long-suppressed Crobat.
After Crobat came out of the Poké Ball, just as it was about to let out a cry, a cold voice sounded in its ear.
"We are now in Ghost Mountain. If you want to die, shut your mouth." Crobat turned its head. It was that hateful human.
Ghost Mountain, wait!!! Crobat remembered when it was still a small Zubat, it was warned never to enter Ghost Mountain. There would be very terrifying Pokémon there that would absorb its soul.
Instantly, Crobat was so scared it trembled.
"Work hard, listen to me, and I guarantee you'll get out of Ghost Mountain safely," Qing Wu said expressionlessly.
Towards such a mischievous Pokémon, Qing Wu was utterly impolite. At this moment, a grumbling sound came from Crobat's stomach.
Crobat had been locked in its Poké Ball and had not eaten for several days.
Crobat looked at Qing Wu with a resentful gaze. Without warning, Qing Wu threw a bag at it, directly hitting Crobat in the face. Crobat, who had a violent temper, was just about to get angry when its nose suddenly caught a strange scent. It was clearly emanating from the bag that hit it.
Crobat tore open the bag and took out a crystal clear, squishy energy cube from inside. Its nose continuously sniffed the aroma of the energy cube, its face filled with intoxication.
"If you want to eat, eat quickly. Once you're full, get to work quickly," Qing Wu's icy voice continued. Although Crobat was displeased with the human in front of it, it was indeed defeated by the human fair and square, so Crobat chose to temporarily obey the human's command.
It didn't matter whether it ate or not. The main thing was that this human had defeated it. Crobat unceremoniously threw the energy cube into its mouth. Delicious!!!
Just then, neither Qing Wu nor Crobat noticed that not far from them, a pale Pokémon opened its eyes, and its nose continuously sniffed the aroma in the air.
The reason Qing Wu chose to use Crobat was also a last resort.
Being on the second layer of Ghost Mountain, facing the attacks of Ghost-type Pokémon with various cursing skills from ghosts and gods, its life safety was constantly threatened.
Among Qing Wu's only Fire-type Pokémon, the Torchic had not yet hatched, and the Magcargo often dozed off and moved slowly. From among his 460 Pokémon, he could only pick Crobat.
As expected, a well-fed Crobat regained its vitality. The flames on Crobat's body allowed Qing Wu to clearly see the scene within five meters.
Suddenly, the cave suddenly lit up. Qing Wu saw many white candles emitting blue-purple flames, burning on the rock wall.
Qing Wu knew this was an illusion. Those white candles were transformed from Litwick, which could, without anyone knowing, send people to the Yellow Springs Road.
"Get ready for battle," Qing Wu said vigilantly.
Litwick were also very malevolent Ghost-type Pokémon, especially fond of absorbing souls.
Especially Litwick's final evolution, Chandelure. Its flames could even burn souls. Chandelure would lead a group of Litwick to hunt.
Crobat looked suspiciously at the candles hanging on the rock wall. Suddenly, countless ghostly flames flickered, floating in the air. This was the murmur of the Ghost-type Pokémon in the darkness.
Qing Wu watched as the white candles grew hands and feet, falling from the rock wall, emitting sinister laughter.
The Litwick had purple flames on their heads.
Its body was mainly composed of white wax. The melted wax covered its right eye, allowing people to only see its bright yellow left eye.
Under its protruding upper lip was a faint smile, a bit bizarre.
