The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 10 Precious Pokémon Items

"This is my unique talent; you don't need to delve into it, just cooperate obediently~"

The pumpkin spirit immediately swallowed back all her questions: "Ask away! I know this place like the back of my hand!"

"Let's talk about the layout of this Songshen Mountain area first! For example, who are the powerful figures, how is the territory divided, what special things need to be paid attention to, or what good things are hidden here!"

Although the pumpkin spirit was still afraid, when talking about her familiar territory, her tone became more spirited, unconsciously carrying a hint of "local expert" about her:

"Sending off the sacred mountain is the biggest mountain ever! The higher you go, the thicker the fog becomes, the heavier the yin energy becomes, and the more frightening the creatures that linger there are!"

I heard from other ghosts that there are ancient monsters living in the upper levels of the mountain who have lived for countless years. They can blow us little guys apart with a single breath!

But that's too far removed from us kids. I only heard it mentioned by the elders in the clan when they were bragging about it.

"Perhaps it's a bit of an exaggeration, but the danger at the summit is definitely not something I can easily venture into right now. For the time being, I can only stay on the lower levels!"

With this in mind, Lin Ye added, "Since you don't know much about the upper levels, then focus on the lower levels of Songshen Mountain."

"As you can see, this Sending God Mountain is actually an island, and its area is extremely large."

As for us kids living in the lower-mountain areas, we generally just stay within our own little plot of land and don't know much about the places further away.

Lin Ye nodded, signaling it to continue!

"My pumpkin spirit clan consists of about several dozen pumpkins living together."

Our leader is an exceptionally large and robust pumpkin spirit! Several times larger than a regular pumpkin spirit! He's incredibly strong!

As for where our people gather, it is a woodland with vegetation, which is slightly better than the barren, rocky place.

As you can see, this godforsaken place is shrouded in thick fog year-round, and sunlight can't get in at all. The fact that there's even a little bit of grass and trees here is a miracle.

But because of this, there was also a small group of Wood Spirits living next to us. They were all Ghost and Grass types, and both needed that bit of plant energy to nourish them, so we bumped into each other!

"According to you, your Pumpkin Spirit clan and the Wood Spirit clan must often fight over that settlement."

Upon hearing this, the pumpkin spirit looked extremely worried: "To tell you the truth, at first our two families were able to fight back and forth!"

Today you steal a patch of my moss, tomorrow I'll steal a few of your shady leaves, let's call it a draw.

But things have gone wrong lately! Among those blockheads on the other side, one of them suddenly evolved into a Wood Sprite!

My God, that guy's gotten really fierce now! One swing of his branch and all you hear is howling ghosts! Even our big boss can't handle him!

Just a few days ago, a major battle forced us to retreat from our original homeland.

Now we're all crammed into a dilapidated mountain valley. If this continues, everyone will gradually weaken, and eventually…”

"So, you've given up the struggle, intending to let yourselves slowly wither and fade away!"

"How could that be? Just now, our boss was raising his arms and shouting to all of us. Even though he doesn't have hands, that's the gist of it!"

In short, it has rallied its entire clan and is about to prepare for a decisive battle against that rotten wood demon! The pumpkin spirit said, then suddenly shrank back a little guiltily!

"Oh~, there's going to be a war soon, how come you're here? Did you desert your post?" Lin Ye asked back.

"How can this be called desertion in the face of battle! I—I was doing this to scout the enemy's situation, yes! Scout the enemy's situation!"

Lin Ye said with a half-smile, "Since this is reconnaissance, then this should be the habitat of the Rotten Wood Demon clan. Strange! How come I can't see a single piece of wood?"

"Hmph, alright, actually I call this assessing the situation and risking being scorned by all the ghosts in order to preserve the last embers of my clan!"

"Look at my small frame, I wouldn't even be enough for a single swipe of a branch from the Wood Demon. It's better to keep my body useful so I can spread pumpkin seeds for our tribe later."

"Gurgle~~"

Zoroya the Younger expressed his disdain.

"Alright, being afraid of death is instinctive. Instead, focus on telling me if there's anything good around here that can help improve your strength."

"There are quite a few things that can help improve one's strength, but they are not easy to obtain."

Within this mist, many fruit trees imbued with ghostly energy grow, and they bear fruit regularly!

That fruit is helpful to all ghosts, but every time it ripens, it attracts many powerful ghosts. I've never even touched the bark of that fruit since I was born.

"It must be referring to 'Buddha Citrus Fruit,' which can increase the energy of ghost attributes when consumed. It must be that the abundant ghost energy of the sacred mountain enabled such large-scale cultivation."

Even though there are quite a few "Buddha's Citrus Berry" here, compared to the countless Ghost Pokémon living here, the supply is immediately far more than the demand, making it very difficult to obtain one.

While Lin Ye was pondering, the pumpkin spirit mentioned some extraordinary items similar to "ghost gems" that occasionally appeared in this place!

However, just like the "Frankenstein Berry," they are all snatched away by powerful ghost Pokémon that are attracted to them as soon as they appear.

"It seems that if we want to take away some rare and precious materials from Songshen Mountain, we can't avoid fighting the local ghosts."

"Oh, right, besides these treasures with ghost energy, I do know of a treasure with another attribute."

"Other attributes! Treasures with attributes other than ghost energy can actually be born in the Sacred Mountain?"

"To be honest, I only heard this news from our clan chief before I came out!"

It said that the reason why the other wood sprite was able to evolve was because it got lucky with Katie, and a "miracle seed" was born in the center of its territory!

It evolved precisely because of the stimulation from the pure grass-type energy inherent in that treasure.

"Miracle Seed! That's a treasure that embodies the pure life force of plants and trees; it's a genuine Pokémon item!"

This is a precious item that can gradually improve the quality of a Grass-type Pokémon's energy and greatly enhance the power of Grass-type moves when worn by a Grass-type Pokémon!

Each attribute has its own exclusive items. Lin Ye saw a "Curse Talisman" that was suitable for Zoroya when he was at the Water Still Department Store!

However, Pokémon items are far more valuable than ordinary attribute gems. Even the most basic low-quality "Curse Symbol" can sell for millions of League Coins.

Lin Ye's total net worth was only 1.2 million before. If he bought the "Curse Talisman", he wouldn't need to do anything else.

Now, upon hearing that the Wood Demon might possess a "Miracle Seed" whose value rivals that of the "Cursed Symbol," he immediately became intrigued.

Even if that "Miracle Seed" was of low quality, its value would still be equivalent to his entire current fortune.

Although it's not very useful to Zoroya, it can be exchanged for a "Cursed Symbol" of the same level at the Water Lily Department Store. Only a small handling fee is required, which is a huge difference from the original price.

Moreover, the Wood Demon is now facing a desperate attack from the Pumpkin Demon clan, which is truly a golden opportunity.

Sensing Lin Ye's suspicious expression, the pumpkin spirit felt a chill run down its spine and said in a trembling voice:

"Boss, you wouldn't actually be thinking of getting your hands on that 'Miracle Seed,' would you?"

Lin Ye's mouth twisted slightly, he stood up, dusted himself off, and said indifferently, "Lead the way to your clan's territory."

"Okay~, you can keep up~"

Its body began to stiffen and slowly turn around. Once it adjusted to a suitable angle, it instantly blurred, about to disappear into shadow and escape.

However, the pumpkin spirit, who had transformed into a shadow and tried to escape, was defeated in the next instant.

It turned out that before leaving, Lin Ye grabbed it and turned it back into its original pumpkin lantern shape, which Lin Ye then held and shook in his hand!
