"Eh?!" Wan Long exclaimed in surprise.
She was momentarily stunned by Fang Yuan's sudden request.
A collaboration... to create a novel?
She had wanted the details of the Sealing Skill to use them as material for a novel, of course, to create her own novel.
If Fang Yuan wanted to intervene in the content, she wouldn't agree, but she didn't mind crafting a story specifically for Fang Yuan.
Just a short story of tens of thousands of words, she could type that many words in just one day.
With careful crafting, a week would be enough.
"I want a novel with Nine Tails as the protagonist, to give to a friend," Fang Yuan suddenly remembered. Luo Kuo had asked him to bring back some books from the Pokémon World the next time he visited.
That of course was easy, one could casually buy a bunch, and Rotom could download a ton from the internet. But how could Fang Yuan settle for such a cursory gesture? Having a renowned novelist from the Pokémon World write a custom book for Luo Kuo, that sincerity was sure to be a pleasant surprise for her!
Luo Kuo had been babysitting for him for so long and had watched over his house for such a time; she deserved a break.
"A Pokémon as the protagonist? What about the specifics?" Wan Long showed an interested expression.
"Uh..." Fang Yuan was taken aback.
"Let's see, a terrifying Pokémon, 'Nine Tails,' attacked Magic City. At that time, the Wave-guide Messenger of Magic City fought with all his might, and at the cost of his own life, sealed 'Nine Tails' into a newly born special Eevee. Magic City finally returned to peace, but this Eevee became a double-souled monster..."
Eevee: ?
"Bwoo!" Eevee interrupted Fang Yuan, is this not the Naruto plot you told me about before, with only the names of places and characters changed? You're just brushing Luo Kuo off!!!
Eevee: (╬▔皿▔) Why don't you seal it inside yourself!
...
In the Spirit World space corresponding to God Sending Mountain.
A trainer with the appearance of a young girl, wearing a blue cloth dress and with only her chest covered, was hopping and skipping across the Spirit World Earth.
Her skin was very dark and her stature not tall, making her appear younger.
But what was truly hard to look directly at... was her daring outfit.
Was that just a piece of cloth she wrapped around before stepping outside?
This person was Fu Rong, one of the Four Ghost-type Kings from the Area of Fragrant Fate.
For the past month, the Hibiscus King had been undergoing arduous training in the Spirit World.
Before, Da Wu and Mikkeli had been unable to launch an offensive against Magma Team, and initiated a battle to seize Kyogre, because Fu Rong was within the Spirit World and it took a great effort to contact her.
Such an operation without the top-notch Ghost Type Trainer to assist was too risky.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan's arrival meant that even without the help of master infiltrator and assassin Fu Rong, Da Wu and his group still managed to resolve the Magma Team incident smoothly.
During this time, Fu Rong leisurely continued her special training of Pokémon in the Spirit World, preparing for the World Championships.
However, it turns out, nowhere is ever completely peaceful.
Fu Rong was the first trainer to notice that something strange was happening near God Sending Mountain, including within the Spirit World itself.
She found that many "Ghosts" were gathering in a certain area of the Spirit World, persistently invading the outer world through a Spiritual Realm Fracture near God Sending Mountain.
Having lived on God Sending Mountain for so long, Fu Rong didn't even know that there was a place that attracted so many "Ghosts."
Even now, she was still unclear on how this group of "Ghosts" came into existence.
With no other choice, she had to leave the Spirit World first, make rapid contact with the outside world, and sealed off God Sending Mountain. Then she reentered the Spirit World to investigate.
After a considerable investigation, Fu Rong finally began to uncover some clues.
"The tomb of King Pendragon... has collapsed!!!"
Deep within the Spirit World, Fu Rong's pupils contracted as she stared at the huge ruined tomb in front of her.
The tomb before her eyes was the burial place of a king who had died.
And this kingdom had long since perished into the annals of history.
That kingdom had a peculiar custom; when royalty and nobles died, they were buried within the Spirit World, and this kingdom prided itself on controlling Ghost-type Pokémon.
Fu Rong had visited this tomb before, and it had been intact, but now it seemed as if it had been destroyed, which was extremely strange.
"This tomb was clearly sealed; ordinary Ghost-type Pokémon wouldn't come near it. What exactly happened?"
Fu Rong's expression grew solemn as she continued to advance, planning to delve deeper.
At the same time, her mind was filled with information about the Pendragon Kingdom.
Speaking of this once glorious kingdom, one must mention the Pokémon Aegislash.
Aegislash, a Ghost and Steel Attribute Spirit, can switch between sword and shield forms.
Legend has it that Aegislash could use its spiritual power to control humans and Pokémon, bringing them under its sway, leaving behind many legends.
Moreover, rumors suggested that this kind of Pokémon could see which person had the potential to become a king.
It was said that those recognized by it would ultimately become king.
And these legends and rumors actually originated from the Pendragon Kingdom.
Because the Pokémon that fought alongside the first King Pendragon to conquer and found a kingdom was Aegislash.
At that time, this kingdom ruled over most of the Hoenn region and even waged wars through a Spirit World Channel into the distant Unova.
Nevertheless, the end of this kingdom was even more tragic than that of the Polcrandis Empire in Kanto.
Even though Aegislash helped the first King Pendragon establish a kingdom, in the end, the first King Pendragon was also drained of his life force and died at the hands of Aegislash.
