Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 533: Crossing the Chasm between Life and Death

Shi Qiu seemed to wake up from a dream. He looked at the tall elf who had a calm expression but was always paying attention to him, and smiled casually.

"I didn't think of anything... I just remembered the master of the Crystal Lamp Spirit, Tapu Fin-Fin."

"The souls that drift and drift in the sea of ​​spirits are led to the world of Tapu Fin-Fin by the soul mist... Thinking about it this way, perhaps the soul mist of Tapu Fin-Fin is also closely related to the essence of the sea of ​​spirits."

Shi Qiu frowned, and a few wisps of transparent mist like gauze surrounded his fingertips.

Hearing Tapu Fin-Fin's soul magic, the crystal lamp spirit came over and nodded continuously, confirming Shi Qiu's guess.

Dark Mewtwo looked at the trainer who was avoiding his sight with an unclear expression. He did not say whether he believed it or not, but just said quietly:

"The so-called turmoil in the spiritual world may be related to the great aura revealed earlier."

"I will do my best to sense it, but it may not be effective."

Dark Mewtwo released the wave guide, but it was obvious that he could not move an inch in the turbulent sea of ​​spirits, and his efficiency was much lower than that in the outside world.

Shi Qiu did not seem impatient or flustered, and smiled: "Maybe we don't need to take the initiative to pursue it. This great existence may take the initiative to find it. I believe in Tian En's ability..."

Mewtwo nodded, and silently cast a special dark protection on Shi Qiu again.

Of course, having said that, Shi Qiu would not pin all his hopes on the ever-changing and unpredictable "God's grace".

Dark Mewtwo and Zeraora's perception will be suppressed by the Spirit World and the Spirit Sea, but Ghost-type Pokémon will not.

Therefore, in Lingsu Inn, these ghost-type elves, who are unfriendly but not crazy, are the best helpers.

With huge vitality as a reward and the requirement of sensing and collecting surrounding information, the ghost-type Pokémon basically would not refuse Shi Qiu's affinity protection.

Gastly and Haunter are the easiest to communicate with, and some of them don't even ask for any reward. After hearing Shi Qiu's request, they found it very interesting, so they smiled and jumped for joy and disappeared, running outside Lingsu to look for him.

Although the wandering Night Spirits and Dark Demons that seemed to be on patrol were not keen on communicating, under the influence of rich vitality, they agreed to help the boy keep an eye out for those great beings that might appear during his wandering.

The rest are the largest number of fellow creatures in the spirit house, the Crystal Lamp Fire Spirit.

"(Great...existence?)" On the lampstand, the candle spirits tilted their heads and asked in a low voice with a hint of confusion.

Unlike the inverted world which has a master, the spirit world is a world where ghosts and dead souls are completely free. It is not ruled by any great being, and no known great being has the ability or possibility to enter the spirit world.

They didn't quite understand the definition given by Shi Qiu.

After all, in order not to scare these candlelight spirits and cause chaos, Dark Mewtwo restrained its own aura very well, staying in the shadows and silently guarding the trainer.

Not a good example.

Shi Qiu pondered for a moment.

"You can understand that the aura is ancient and heavy, and it will give you a feeling that is...completely incomparable."

"(Ancient...completely unmatched?)"

Shi Qiu nodded.

The candlelight spirits curved their eyes, laughed and jumped up and down.

"(I know, I know! That's the great being you're looking for!)"

"......that?"

"(Yes, yes, that's the one who lives in the biggest room right here!)"

Shi Qiu’s eyelids twitched.

Here? The biggest room?

Hey, hey, no way, the one causing the turmoil in the spirit world is right here at the Lingsu Inn?

Speaking of which, the breath that Dark Mewtwo sensed was also captured around Lingsu.

"Can you take us there?" Shi Qiu lowered his head, and the power of Changpan released clusters of green fluorescence with rich life energy.

The candlelight spirits opened their mouths, roared, and swallowed the elves one by one. They patted their stomachs, and the dark blue flames above their heads became much bigger.

“(Yes, yes!!)”

"(Yes!)"

"(but......)"

"(I can't take you in.)"

“(It will be eaten.)”

The candlelight spirits were chattering and making a lot of noise, and their attitude towards Shi Qiu was obviously much closer.

After a few minutes, the candlelight spirits finally digested the huge amount of energy, and they swarmed to Shi Qiu's front, then turned around to look at the young man.

It looked like she was ready to lead him.

"Let's go." Shi Qiu stretched his body and said softly.

…………

…………

Most of the living people in the spirit house are already in a trance, but there are a few who are still conscious.

At this time, when they heard a loud noise coming from the corridor, the timid ones hid in the cold and damp room and shivered, while some of the braver ones gently opened the door a little and quietly observed the movements outside.

However, when groups of candlelight spirits suddenly appeared in sight, even the bravest people would panic and immediately close the door, leaning against it and praying for the last hope.

These living people do not understand the spiritual world, life force, or consciousness.

When they saw the people who came with them becoming mentally confused one by one, they felt with their narrow-minded perspective that these living people had become the same as the wandering ghosts.

"Perhaps, now that the problem in the spirit world has been solved, it won't be so easy to take these people away..."

Shi Qiu frowned and looked towards a room with an open door.

Inside, a middle-aged woman in her forties was holding a transparent girl with a gentle look, calling "Nannan" softly.

"Orphans who lost their parents, young people who lost their partners, middle-aged people who lost their children, and elderly people who lost their companions..."

"No wonder. Logically speaking, people in this world shouldn't get lost in the spirit world in such a short time. So, it's because..."

It seems that the people in this world who drift into the spirit world are not random.

"It's quite cruel, if we bring them back in the end."

The reason why Tapu Fin-Fin is the most sought-after legend among the four gods of the islands is probably because of these...

Because it is possible to cross the chasm between life and death.
