The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 70 Little Diamond and Garchomp

The Snow Fairy openly pursued, attracting the attention of the Soul-Hooking Eye, while the Twin Swords Sheaths silently lurked, launching a sneak attack from behind. This coordinated attack was executed flawlessly.

Before the professional-level Soul-Hooking Eyes clan leader could react, two greatswords were already slashing down on his head!

"Gah!"

It screamed and was knocked down by the twin swords wrapped in black energy in their sheaths. Then it was hit head-on by the Snow Fairy's "Frozen Ray"!

"Sizzle!"

The icy blue light struck his face directly, instantly freezing half of the Soul-Hooking Eyes clan leader's body, leaving him no chance to escape in disguise.

Taking advantage of the situation, the twin scabbards finished off the remaining enemies, closing in and unleashing a series of slashes with the twin swords imbued with evil attributes, quickly defeating Soul Reaper.

"Hikaru~, these alluring eyes are yours!"

"Hmm~"

Xiao Guang had been eager to try, and immediately released the Ivory Boar. Its "professional-level" strength easily suppressed the surrounding Soul-Hooking Eyes.

Because of the Snow Fairy's "Frozen Wind," these Soul-Hooking Eyes became sluggish and unable to even escape, and could only watch helplessly as they were taken down one by one.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Ye ran over and used the "Soul Refining Technique" on the unconscious "Professional-level" Soul Reaper!

Under the cover of darkness, Xiao Guang was unaware that Lin Ye had extracted a ball of pure ghost energy and immediately summoned Zoroya, injecting it into the little fox's body.

"Don't let anyone find out yet. Go into the shadows and refine the energy."

The little fox nodded obediently, and carrying the bulging ghost energy that it hadn't yet refined, it darted into Lin Ye's shadow to slowly digest it.

At this moment, Xiao Guang had also dealt with those little devils and was excitedly waving to Lin Ye.

Lin Yechong gave her a thumbs up: "Impressive. No wonder she's the eldest daughter of the Bellrich family."

Although Xiao Guang had received countless praises since she was a child, for some reason, the words that came out of Lin Ye's mouth made her blush and feel sweet inside.

Lin Ye walked up to a half-frozen, soul-snatching eye and recognized it as the same one that had attacked Xiao Guang earlier. He smiled and said:

"Shall we talk?"

"Let's talk about... what?"

"Wait, how can you understand me? And you just controlled me, are you a human or a ghost?"

"You're a ghost yourself, so stop worrying about these things. Just answer my questions properly, and you'll have a chance to become a ghost again."

Lin Ye pointed to its kin around it who had been subdued:

Why are you causing trouble here?

"We...we were kicked out of our own homes and forced to stay here. At least we have some minerals to make a living."

"Kicked out? Who kicked you out?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before, all I know is it's a terrifying black and gray Pokémon! It looks a bit like a shark! It digs faster than we can, and it can fly too."

"Sharks, digging holes, and flying... could it be a Garchomp?!"

Seeing Lin Ye and Soul-Hooking Eyes chatting back and forth, Xiao Guang's eyes gleamed:

"Lin Ye, you can really communicate with Pokémon! That's amazing! What kind of special ability is that?"

"I guess so, but only for Ghost-type Pokémon."

Under Lin Ye's continued questioning, the alluring eyes slowly revealed the whole story:

"We originally lived in this deeper underground space, where many small diamonds also lived."

Small diamonds are our favorite food. Although catching them is somewhat risky, we generally get along quite well.

"A harmonious and joyful scene? That's your opinion, Little Diamond probably wouldn't think that way."

However, Diamond Shards are very rare and valuable Pokémon; it's surprising that a species of them lives even deeper within this mine.

The Soul-Stealing Eyes continued, "But just recently, that burrowing shark appeared."

As soon as it entered, it took over the gathering place of the small diamonds. Those small diamonds were no match for it at all and were defeated and became its prisoners.

But it wasn't satisfied with just having the small diamonds; it kicked us out, so we had to escape to the upper level.

But there were no small diamonds to eat here, and we were starving, so we had no choice but to... we had no choice but to steal some ore to fill our stomachs...

The Soul-Stealing Eye spoke with such grief that it seemed tears were about to fall, if its eyes weren't solid gemstones.

"Lin Ye, what did Soul-Hooking Eyes say to you?!"

"We've actually gotten some pretty interesting information out of you, Xiao Guang. There might be a small group of Diamond Breakers underground in your mine, and there's also a Garchomp."

"Garuda!"

Xiao Guang was incredibly surprised, his mouth agape.

After all, even if a quasi-god's complete form is weak in individual strength, it will at least not be lower than the peak of "professional level".

And as long as they are developing normally, even if they are wild, they are at least "Gym Master level".

Normally, upon learning that such a powerful wild overlord was right beneath their feet, they should have kept their distance.

But the allure of small diamonds is too great. Even disregarding their rarity, the fact that they can grow into diamonds is enough to make many adventurers flock to them.

Not to mention, the place where they live is very likely a rich mineral vein, and a little bit of it can be exchanged for enough resources for Pokémon to train for a long time.

For the future and for the little ones, we have to give it our all!

"How about it! Should we go take a look?"

"That sounds exciting!"

After making his decision, Lin Ye did not set off immediately. Instead, he activated the Soul-Hooking Eyes around him and said to them:

"You now have two choices."

"W-what choice?"

Lin Ye held up two fingers:

"First, I'll send you to the Pokémon Center, where I can help you find a suitable trainer in the future, but who knows what kind of trainer you'll run into!"

Secondly, from now on you'll be working for me. I have a high standing in the underworld around Shuijing City, so taking you guys in is more than enough for me.

"Status? Do you think you can command other Ghost Pokémon?!"

"What, you think I'm lying to you!"

Suddenly, a powerful spiritual force emanated from Lin Ye, putting great pressure on the Soul-Hooking Eyes in front of him who were only at the "Excellent" level.

"No, no, no~ We're wandering far from home, all alone and helpless. We'd be more than happy to have a powerful leader take us in."

"Alright~, if you can promise to obey my orders from now on, I'll give you an address to find a Gastly. Tell it I sent you, and it will take good care of you."

Upon hearing this, several alluring eyes revealed a look of surprise, feeling that what Lin Ye had said earlier was not false. They bowed and worshipped him, wishing they could recognize him as their godfather on the spot.

After seeing off that group of seductive-eyed people, Xiao Guang's eyes shone with even more admiration for Lin Ye:

"Lin Ye, you're amazing! Not only did you defeat these ghost Pokémon, but you also made them respect you so much. How did you do that?"

"It's nothing. These Soul-Hooking Eyes are just poor, homeless ghosts. I've found them a way out. From now on, they'll stay in Water City and become my lackeys."

"Alright, it's getting late. If we want to get to the lower levels, we'll have to hurry."
