Pokémon: World of Wonder

Chapter 218 Dream Demon

Behind the service station, Jiang Ye found a vacant space and was bandaging and applying medicine to his six little ones.

The frowned brows showed that Jiang Ye was not in a good mood.

From the casual conversation of passers-by that he overheard, Jiang Ye concluded that what the big man said was probably true.

There is a section of road ahead. The riders who passed by in a group last night found that every time they crossed this section of road, there would always be one person missing without anyone noticing.

This terrified them, and they thought that an evil ghost-type Pokémon had occupied this section of the road, forming an intersection between the entire space and the spirit world, thereby dragging passers-by into the spirit world and devouring their souls.

Among the trainers participating in the competition these days, there were also trainers with Psychic-type Pokémon, but no matter how they tried, this was just an ordinary section of highway.

Ghost-type Pokémon causing trouble? This is indeed a reasonable explanation, and Jiang Ye also thinks that this may be the case.

But other possibilities cannot be ruled out. Gangyan City is temporarily unable to exercise jurisdiction over the matter. Officials from Jinhui City said they have sent people to deal with the matter, but no one knows exactly how long it will take for them to arrive.

I hope someone will come tomorrow morning. It might be related to the spirit world, and Jiang Ye dare not barge in recklessly. If he is caught and taken to the spirit world, Jiang Ye will be dead given his current weight.

After taking care of the injuries of the six little guys, Jiang Ye set up the tent against the pile of tents, set up a simple guard, bought some food from the canteen of the service station for a meal, and then slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Jiang Ye was woken up by a loud noise outside before his biological clock told him to wake up.

After tidying up his appearance and getting dressed, Jiang Ye walked out of the tent with a bird's nest on his head. Not far away, there was a lot of noise and a group of people were celebrating something in front.

Many people returned to the camp and began to pack their luggage, as if they couldn't wait to leave the service station.

Jiang Ye grabbed a passerby who was about to pass by with one hand, "Dude, what's going on?"

"you"

The passerby, whose good mood was ruined by being caught roughly, was about to get angry when a shining Alliance coin with a face value of 100 yuan appeared before his eyes.

"Say a few words so I can understand, and these 100 Alliance coins will be yours."

"Haha, you're joking, how can just two sentences be worth a hundred Alliance coins?"

The passerby said with a smile as he took the Alliance Coin from Jiang Ye's hand and put it in his pocket, saying, "This morning, the inspectors sent by Jinhui City came over and have already caught those ghost-type Pokémon that were causing trouble."

"They are two ghost lights hanging from lamp posts, pretending to be street lamps. The road is completely safe now. Brother, that's all. I'm leaving now."

Is that so? Jiang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. With the official confirmation, everything should be stable.

After packing up his things and tidying up the bird's nest, Jiang Ye pushed his bicycle out to the vacant rest area behind the service station.

At this time, there were already many safe-haven riders coming and going on the problematic section of the road. Jiang Ye carefully observed the section and found that there was no problem.

I rode my bike into the haunted road.

During the ride, this haunted section was no different from other sections. From time to time, there were riders intercepting Pokémon battles on the roadside, and some convoys charging down the lane in a long snake formation. Various bird Pokémon could often be seen flying by in the sky.

After riding smoothly for half an hour, Jiang Ye gradually felt something was wrong.

No one came to fight him!

These people kept passing by Jiang Ye, and no one stopped him. Now Jiang Ye had disguised himself and put on a mask, and he looked like a skinny boy pretending to be dead.

No one cared about such an ordinary-looking, even a little weak character. The riders passing by Jiang Ye didn't even look at him.

Is it his imagination?

With a sense of vigilance in his heart, Jiang Ye exerted force with his feet. In order to improve the ease of repair and terrain adaptability, the bicycle under him might not be the fastest in theory.

But Jiang Ye was able to utilize its functions to 100% within its limited performance. Half an hour had passed. According to Jiang Ye's estimated distance and his current speed, he would be able to see Jinhui City from afar in another hour and a half.

An hour and a half later, Jiang Ye stopped his bike abruptly with a look of surprise on his face. Something was wrong!

For an hour and a half, the sound of birds singing without any change in frequency, repeated in loud and low tones, echoed in Jiang Ye's ears.

For two whole hours, no trainer came to the door.

At his current speed, Jinhui City should be visible from afar, but now there are only patches of barren forest in the distance, without any sign of an urban cluster.

He turned around and looked at the two trainers who were engaged in a Pokémon battle beside him. Although the Pokémon were different, they were repeating the previous plot by changing their moves.

The Pokémon of both sides first exchanged two moves, and then one showed disdain, mocking the other for being weak and having rubbish Pokémon. Then the two exchanged trash talk, and the two Pokémon seemed to be in a dilemma on the field.

Jiang Ye stopped his bike and quietly watched the last scene in his memory, waiting for the next move of the two trainers and their Pokémon.

However, Jiang Ye's action seemed to have touched some conditions. The two people and the Pokémon suddenly stopped all movements as if a machine was stuck.

Then they mechanically turned around and looked at Jiang Ye and said in unison, "Why don't you move forward?"

The tone that sounded like a dead person's voice made Jiang Ye's scalp tingle. "Who are you? What do you want to do to me?" Jiang Ye asked with gritted teeth.

"I am a guy who feels sorry for you and wants to help you avoid some unnecessary pain."

Jiang Ye frowned and said, "So, where am I now? In an illusion?"

There was no answer. The sky, the earth, the people, the roads, the Pokémon, everything began to distort and change.

Finally, all the colors were reversed and turned into azure blue.

When Jiang Ye came to his senses, he came to the place where he usually ended up in his dreams, the Mirror Sea where the water and sky were one color, which was also the place Jiang Ye called the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Opposite Jiang Ye, a Pokémon that looked like a wizard with a big hat and a trumpet-shaped cloak floated in front of Jiang Ye.

It's a ghost-type Pokémon, Dream Demon!

"Hello, Jiang Ye, I am a dream demon. This is where your consciousness is silent. I will tie you up here to protect you from the pain."

"Pain and torture? What does that mean?!" Jiang Ye instantly grasped the key words in the dream demon's words.

"Your body has some small talents. We are testing your potential, and you need to rest for a while, lest you accidentally die from excessive pain."
