The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 28 Feudal Remnants, Single Sword Sheath

The taxi stopped on a remote country road, and Lin Ye paid the fare and got out.

The surrounding area is a small but quiet forest, far from the road, with only the occasional calls of Pokémon.

Lin Ye walked deeper into the forest for a while, and only stopped when he was sure there was no one else around. He took out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of white light, a single sword sheath appeared in mid-air.

This time it finally understood its situation and did not act immediately. Instead, it floated to the side and cautiously watched Lin Ye.

"Hey~, why aren't you doing anything?"

"Hmph, you shameless opportunist! If word gets out that you trespassed on my king's mausoleum, you will have no place to stand in the vast Fengyuan Empire."

Lin Ye didn't respond. He found a clean spot to sit down, took out his drink, took a sip, and then looked at the sword sheath with a half-smile.

Seeing this look, the sword sheath felt increasingly uncertain, and after a long while, it spoke up:

"Grave robbers, is our Hoenn really gone?"

"Even if you are from ancient times, you should understand that there is no dynasty that lasts forever."

"You were buried alive with the emperor over a hundred years ago. Isn't it normal for dynasties to change over such a long period?"

"Then... who were the traitors who ultimately overthrew our Hoenn Empire, and who is the current emperor?"

"Traitor? If we have to put it that way, what replaced the Hoenn Empire was an organization called the Hoenn Alliance, jointly governed by the Elite Four and the Alliance's high-ranking officials. It hasn't had an emperor for a long time!"

"What! Without an emperor, what kind of order is this? If this happens, won't Toyotomi be in complete chaos and on the verge of collapse?"

Lin Ye was both amused and exasperated. He never expected that the absence of an emperor in the current era would be a greater blow to Du Jiancha than the collapse of the dynasty he served.

"Although the current alliance leadership has a lot of problems, it's still much better than the rule of feudal monarchs. Look, see for yourself~"

Lin Ye pulled up a video on his phone and showed it to Du Jianqiao. The video described the fall of the Hoenn Empire, the victory of the people's war, and the backwardness of the feudal system.

Finally, it also showcased the beautiful picture of thriving human life and continuous technological progress in all regions under the management of the modern alliance system.

Although these videos clearly sympathize with the alliance and emphasize its legitimacy, they are largely consistent with the facts.

Seeing the final moment, the sword sheath let out a long howl, then reversed its blade, ready to shoot away and escape.

"I want to leave~"

Having finally caught it, Lin Ye was not about to let it go so easily. He immediately unleashed the Soul Binding Technique that he had been preparing.

"Ta-da!"

The momentum of the sword sheath's charge faltered, and it was frozen in place, its body trembling as it struggled against the necromancy that was restraining it.

However, it was too weak at the moment. It had not received any treatment since it was captured, and soon it was too weak to continue and was grabbed by Lin Ye's magical power.

"Alas, the dynasty you wanted to protect has long become history, and it's no use if you don't accept it."

Since your consciousness can be reborn in a new form, why not make the most of the present moment? I can too…”

"Can...can you help me find a descendant of royalty?"

Lin Ye was taken aback. He had originally wanted to persuade the Sword Sheath to become his Pokémon, but he didn't expect it to say this!

"Based on the skills you have just displayed, it is clear that you are no ordinary person, and an extraordinary person naturally has to achieve extraordinary feats."

As long as the royal bloodline remains alive, you and I can assist him in restoring the kingdom, overthrowing this evil alliance, and restoring the dynasty's legitimacy.

At that time, you will be a hero of the restoration of the country, and you will surely be granted land and a title, enjoying glory for generations. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

“…………”

Looking at this "swordsman" poisoned by feudal ethics, Lin Ye had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know where to begin.

The next moment, Lin Ye suddenly had an idea: to turn the tables on them.

Anyway, the restoration of the kingdom is a pipe dream. The Hoenn Alliance is ruling just fine, so where would any royal descendants come from? Even if there were, who would follow a sword in rebellion?

But right now, the most important thing is to stabilize this sword and trick it into completing the necromancy contract with him. That's much more reliable than controlling a Poké Ball. So he said:

"But as you said, how easy is it to find that so-called royal descendant in the vast sea of ​​people!"

Even if you find someone, are you sure they'd be willing to give up a peaceful life and go with you to try and restore the monarchy? Are you playing house?!

"Where there's a will, there's a way. How will we know if we don't try? What are your thoughts on my suggestion?"

"Well, this one?"

Lin Ye stroked his chin and said, "Even if the plan you mentioned can succeed, why should I believe that I will definitely get the benefits you promised earlier?"

After all, your status doesn't seem to be particularly outstanding within the so-called Hoenn Empire.

Even if his royal family successfully restores the kingdom, and you then renege on your promises, who will I be able to reason with?

"Then, Your Excellency, what should be done about this matter?"

"How about this? I've learned a spell that can establish a soul contract between us, forming an alliance."

This contract will facilitate our future communication and may require you to fight to some extent, but it is generally an equal contract.

With such a contract, we are now in the same boat, and thus have a foundation of mutual trust.

After that, who knows how long it will take to find some royal descendant for you? With this contract as a guarantee, I can also feel at ease helping you increase your strength. It will be entirely beneficial to you. What do you think?

The sword sheath thought about it and felt that Lin Ye's words made sense. It was all alone now and knew nothing about this era, let alone finding the royal bloodline and restoring the country.

The man before me possesses extraordinary abilities. If a contract can be formed, and I can stay by his side and patiently guide him, I will surely be able to deeply imprint the great feudalistic ideas I believe in into his heart.

With this in mind, Dujianshe did not hesitate and let Lin Ye cast the spell.

A moment later, Lin Ye infused a wisp of spiritual energy into the sword sheath, imprinting it on its soul level.

Afterwards, the two seemed to resonate with each other, able to vaguely sense each other's feelings, and could communicate telepathically by slightly controlling their minds.

"Brother Lin, now that our contract is complete, we are allies. Could you tell me your current plans?"

"Plan? No matter what era you're in, if you want to accomplish something great, you need solid capabilities as a foundation."

Our strength is still very weak at present, and the most urgent task is to find a way to improve our strength first.

But before that, I need to understand your situation first. Demonstrate the moves you've mastered so I can plan your next training step.

"Alright~ Since Brother Lin wants to see my martial arts and swordsmanship, then please allow me to make a fool of myself~~"

As it spoke, the sword trembled slightly and floated into the air!

Lin Ye sensed that the sword sheath must have a powerful move, so he took a few steps back to give it space. However, unexpectedly, the sword sheath suddenly went limp and collapsed while gathering energy!

"Brother Lin, my injuries have not yet healed. Could you allow me to rest for a while?"
