I was resurrected and became a Ghost-type Pokémon Master.

Chapter 264 Choice.

"Crimson Lotus Knights..."

Li Li's lips moved, and glistening tears welled up in her bloodshot eyes.

She didn't know what to say or do.

He was at a loss, and his face looked somewhat frightening.

Yang Sisi stepped forward with concern, wanting to help her up.

But the next second, they were enveloped by a cold, death-like shadow.

At that moment, the sunlight seemed to be swallowed up, and a feeling of the surrounding air being sucked out gripped Yang Sisi's throat, and the feeling of death enveloped her.

In a daze, Yang Sisi seemed to see her long-deceased great-grandmother.

Then she shivered and jumped to the side.

The next second, the sunlight returned, the air returned, and life returned!

A man with a restrained aura, yet exuding boundless fear, appeared beside her, a ghost mask hanging on his shoulder.

"Ghost Sea King".

The person who came was Gui Hai. He sensed that Cang Yan Ren Gui and the other little guys were here, so he came over.

Then we saw this scene.

"Azure!"

The moment Cang saw Gui Hai, sparks flew from his eyes, and he appeared beside Gui Hai as if he had teleported, staring at Gui Hai with an excited expression.

Yan appeared out of nowhere, standing next to Gui Hai.

Looking at Guihai, her eyes revealed a longing.

Gui Hai reached out and patted his two Azure Flame Blade Demons: "You've worked hard, I'm back."

"Azure!"

The two Azure Flame Blade Demons blazed intensely, but then, fearing they might injure the Demon Sea, they suppressed their own flames.

Gui Hai glanced at Li Li and the Crimson Lotus Knights over there.

"You want to fight that Crimson Lotus Armored Knight?"

The Azure Flame Blade Demons exchanged a glance, nodded, and then shook their heads: "Azure."

"Its trainer really hindered its growth."

I have high hopes for that Crimson Knight. It's the only Pokémon that didn't have my presence at the moment of its birth and overcame the shadow of death on its own.

"Azure!"

"You want me to help that Crimson Lotus Armored Knight?"

Gui Hai hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then said after thinking for a while, "This is a difficult matter."

The Azure Flame Blades were somewhat disappointed, but they didn't insist on Ghost Sea's request. They simply handed Ghost Sea the Poké Balls of the little guys, including Draco.

I'm going back to the Shadow Space to rest.

Gui Hai's tone suddenly changed: "But it could also be very simple."

Azure Flame Blade Demon's eyes lit up.

Gui Hai tapped his bronze longsword with his fingers as he slowly walked toward Li Li and the Red Lotus Armored Riders.

Li Li sensed a familiar presence approaching. When she looked up, she saw Gui Hai's serious face and his emotionless gaze.

"Ghost...Ghost...Ghost King."

"...What's your name again? It doesn't matter."

"Your existence has hindered the growth of Crimson Knights. As the current head of Tanjiro, I have an obligation to ensure the healthy development of this group and to intervene in the members' choice of trainers."

"Now I'm giving you two choices. First, give up the Crimson Armored Knight and I'll take it back to Tanjiro's habitat and train it to become Tanjiro's guardian."

As soon as these words were uttered, both Li Li and the Crimson Lotus Knights became somewhat excited.

Crimson Lotus Knight's emotions were particularly intense: "Armor."

Guihai looked into Crimson Knight's eyes: "You are the guardian of Samurai's clan. Your trainer needs you, but your people need you even more."

The Crimson Lotus Knight was stunned, then lowered his head.

Gui Hai looked at Li Li and continued, "Secondly, I'll give you a chance to get rid of that inexplicable fear of yours."

An excitement flickered in Li Li's eyes: "What method? I'm willing to try!"

But the next second, Guihai poured a bucket of cold water over it.

"I need to remind you of something: I'm a trainer who likes to send people to the spirit world, not an educator or teacher. My methods are dangerous!"

Seeing the struggle in Li Li's eyes, Gui Hai emphasized, "In other words, my method might kill you outright."

"what?"

"armor."

Yang Sisi and the Crimson Lotus Armored Knight were both startled.

Yang Sisi had been somewhat hopeful that this seemingly cold and aloof superstar might have a way of getting people back on their feet.

But upon hearing that his methods might kill Li Li, he shouted, "No, Li Li, this is too dangerous. You don't need such methods!"

The Crimson Lotus Armored Knight stood between Gui Hai and Li Li, protecting Li Li behind him, and shook his head at Li Li.

Gui Hai did not stop Yang Sisi and the Crimson Lotus Knights from their actions; his eyes remained fixed on the pale-faced Li Li.

However, the indifference in his eyes continued to intensify.

There seemed to be no reflection of Li Li in her pupils; the space that belonged to Li Li was just a wisp of air.

In Li Li's eyes, Gui Hai wasn't looking at a trainer when he spoke, or even at a human being.

He was just looking at the air, watching the Crimson Lotus Knights speak.

Li Li had no doubt that if the Crimson Lotus Armored Knight had abandoned her and chosen to return to her tribe, the man in front of her would have completely ignored her.

The reason he was willing to give himself this so-called opportunity was entirely because of the Crimson Knights.

Because this Crimson Lotus Knight is the one he acknowledges.

Li Li opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But she found her lips incredibly dry, like rusty gears that wouldn't turn no matter how hard she tried.

Why is she afraid to face the sea of ​​ghosts?

Because Guihai was surrounded by a strong shadow of death, a shadow that terrified her so much that her soul trembled every time she saw him.

She wanted to change that.

She believed she could do it, so she quit her job in the League and embarked on a journey with Crimson Knight, hoping to become stronger through this method commonly used by trainers and escape the death shadow of the Ghost Sea.

But this time, even when facing a fake Ghost Sea, she was filled with fear.

At that moment, she knew that the shadow of the Ghost Sea had been imprinted on her soul, and no matter what she did, it would be difficult to erase.

Even Crimson Knight and her other Pokémon were affected by her fear.

She will make various mistakes during the battle.

She longed for change, longed for a release.

She was reluctant to part with the Crimson Lotus Armored Cavalry.

She was reluctant to part with this partner and family member who had been through so much with her and fought alongside her until now.

However, the choice that Guihai gave her was essentially no different from facing the shadow of Guihai's death.

It simply turns the shadow of death into a probability of death.

To die, or to change.

The surrounding environment fell silent in Li Li's heart.

Even though Yang Sisi and the Crimson Lotus Knights kept talking in her ears, Li Li couldn't hear anything at this moment.

Everything around her became blurry.

A choice was weighed repeatedly in her mind, making her hesitate, struggle, and find it difficult to decide.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes... five minutes.

Time passed slowly, and soon ten minutes had gone by.

Gui Hai nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes: "Very good. It seems you have chosen to give up the Crimson Lotus Knights. I will submit the documents to the Eastern Alliance Champion."

According to the Rare Pokémon Protection Act, I will take Crimson Knight away through official channels.

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the battlefield, seemingly preparing to go back to his room to write a report.

Li Li stared at Gui Hai's retreating figure, opening her mouth as if to speak.

Suddenly, as if possessed, he shouted, "Wait!"
