"Teacher Lu, even you have such days!"
"Ah, this..."
"Cute, want."
"?? The person above, have some humanity!"
All the lurkers were blown out. For a moment, the group was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
[Fighter: ...Why not try throwing a Poké Ball?]
[Teacher Lu: You sure it won't get angry after I throw the ball?]
[Fighter: ...]
Red went back to lurking. Lu Ye put down his phone, evil rising in his heart, and fiercely glared back at Gastly.
"What are you looking at!"
"Kekeke?"
Just then, the phone buzzed again. A somewhat familiar ID offered a suggestion.
[Yellow: Looking at its expression, it seems to really like you!]
Lu Ye thought for a long time but couldn't remember who this ID was.
[Teacher Lu: You call this liking? It clearly lusts after my body!]
[Teacher Lu: (Video)]
In the video, a Gastly made of black gas stared with big eyes, happily licking the handsome young man with its tongue.
Teacher Lu wiped the wet saliva from his face and shouted at Gastly, "Stop licking, smile!"
Gastly froze, then happily flew in front of the camera, using its bulging eyeballs to completely block the screen.
Kanto, Viridian City.
Red, training at Viridian Gym, couldn't help but smile.
"Hey, training's starting!"
A handsome youth with straight brown hair and a pendant on his chest sat on the shoulder of a massive Rhyperior, arms crossed.
"What are you looking at, grinning like that?"
"A battle streamer I recently discovered." Red held his phone and smiled. "He seems to be planning to train a Gengar."
Green jumped down from Rhyperior's shoulder, hands in pockets, glanced at the phone video, and nodded lightly. "This Gastly's aptitude isn't bad."
Red looked up at Green in surprise.
Professor Oak once said Green's ability was "breeding"—he could maximise a Pokémon's aptitude and potential.
If even he said so, this Gastly definitely had cultivation value.
"That's a game streamer, though." Green shrugged. "Why not just watch matches at the Masters tournament venue?"
"Although it's a game, his command awareness is far superior to ordinary Master trainers."
Red smiled. "Besides, hasn't Lysandre Labs' virtual imaging technology already been applied to games?"
"Maybe before long, we can battle online!"
"Heh." Green's eyes sharpened, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. "Even in a game, I won't lose to you!"
Haven't you lost enough already?
Red said with a wry smile, "Let's not talk about that. Time to train!"
"Buzz buzz—"
Just then, his phone vibrated.
Red glanced at the chat interface and smiled. "He captured the Gastly after all."
Green crossed his arms and suddenly said, "That group... pull me in, too."
"What?"
"I have nothing better to do; might as well pass the time."
"...Didn't you say you don't watch streams?"
"Shut up, just pull me in!"
"Got it. Why so fierce all of a sudden?"
"Tch... want to have a match?"
"Can I directly attack the trainer? Go, Pikachu!"
"Rhyperior, Earthquake!"

[You have a new message]
[Your friend—"Green" has joined the chat group!]
When encountering ghosts late at night, there are generally three choices.
A. Pretend you didn't see anything and walk out of the elevator with a normal expression.
B. Chat and laugh with them, expressing that modern trainers are too simple, too naive.
C. As long as your courage is big enough, XX gets maternity leave.
So Lu Ye chose D—
"Bold demon, daring to wreak havoc here! Great Dragon of Power, Buddha of the Earth... taste my Poké Ball!"
Creatures like Gastly that often appear in horror movies were essentially still Pokémon, so they were quite scientific.
Therefore, it obeyed the basic laws of Pokémon, transforming into red light and flying into the Poké Ball, which stopped shaking after three wobbles.
Lu Ye felt it was anticlimactic. He picked up the Poké Ball from the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Raising a Gastly, guess that's not too bad." Lu Ye's expression was strange. "At least Gengar is pretty cute... right?"
Honestly, 2D Gengar was certainly cute, but once it appeared in reality—
Opening the Poké Ball, a pair of large white eyes slowly opened from the black mist, its mouth stretched to the tongue root, revealing sharp teeth.
Gastly floated happily behind Lu Ye, shrouding over his head, emitting bursts of barbell-like, sinister laughter.
"Kekeke!"
Lu Ye looked up, just in time to see the gaping maw and sharp teeth. Gastly's eyes squinted into slits as it extended its crimson, long tongue.
Gastly: (*⊙~⊙)
"Slurp—"
Lu Ye wiped the saliva from his face.
"...Still pretty cute."
[Congratulations Host on completing the achievement "I Choose You!"]
[Achievement description: Capture any starter Pokémon, reward 500 BP]
[Remaining BP: 720]
If you didn't look closely, Gastly, composed entirely of gas, was just a black mist. Those white-eyed, large eyes were still within Lu Ye's acceptance range.
Although the plan to cuddle Eevee was scrapped, Lu Ye could now go scare girls late at night.
Actually, Lu Ye gained a new path to become a horror game streamer.
"Kekeke!"
Gastly still circled happily in mid-air. The elevator's lighting returned.
As the elevator slowly ascended, Lu Ye recalled Gastly to its Poké Ball and fell into thought.
"If it can evolve into Gengar, its combat ability is quite strong."
"Wait, why do I need combat ability?"
"At most, I'll let Gastly serve as the stream's mascot..."
[You have a new message]
[Administrator 'Fighter' invited 'Green' to join this group]
"Huh? Green?"
Lu Ye, confused by the notification, stared dumbfounded at Green's personal profile.
"This boss... isn't the Kanto Champion known as the 'Cultivator,' right?"
"Holy crap, it really is him!"
In the Special manga, after becoming Viridian Gym Leader, in less than a year, Green raised a team with an average level of 70.
Lu Ye figured even grinding NPCs and wild Pokémon daily couldn't compare!
Grind master boss, terrifyingly powerful!
After Lu Ye posted that video, the group's topic immediately shifted to Gastly breeding methods.
"Is Teacher Lu planning to breed a Poison-specialist Gengar?"
"No, I think Gengar is better specialising in Ghost-type!"
"Wait, why are you saying no?"
"..."
[Group member 'Green' uploaded a new file]
[Gastly Breeding Methods.txt]
"Holy crap, boss, a real boss!"
"Even Green is Teacher Lu's fan!? I'm stunned!"
"This is what you call professional.jpg!"
After posting this file, Green went back to lurking, hiding his achievements and fame.
Lu Ye looked at this txt file in the group with a complex expression.
Certainly, the breeding manual written by the "Cultivator" Green would be absolutely professional and accurate.
After an intense internal struggle, Lu Ye sighed deeply.
"I really didn't want to become a trainer!"
Then, Lu Ye clicked on [Gastly Breeding Methods.txt].
