Chapter 92: Ghost!
The former site of Super Value Mart is located near Route 14 in the Alola region, not far from the ruins of Tapu Village.
This place was once affected by the attack of Tapu Moo that destroyed Tapu Village, causing the Super Value Supermarket to move to another location. Now only a dilapidated ruin remains here.
Especially under the cover of night, the former site of the Super Value Supermarket is almost indistinguishable from a horror film set. In fact, according to Merdan, this place once became a check-in spot for adventure and ghost enthusiasts.
But after one day, everything changed.
Luo Mu stood outside the dark Super Value Mart site, looking at the supermarket that was like a black hole that seemed to swallow everything, thinking: "Rumors about ghosts, nearly 30 calls to the police? Although it's a bit chilling, it's likely that it's caused by ghost Pokémon caused by environmental reasons."
Luo Mu was quite energetic, holding up the cheap baseball cap he had bought from the department store. Mimikyuu also matched his movements, holding a pipe made of paper in his mouth, and posing on Luo Mu's shoulder: "Kukui, you stay outside, I will be the detective on this case. Are you cold?"
Luo Mu looked helplessly at Kukui, who was curled up in a ball because of the cold night, and there was worry in his words.
Kukui trembled and said, "It's okay. I'll find a place to light a fire and keep warm later. Do you really not need my help?"
"I've even seen under her skirt, so it's nothing. Just pretend you didn't hear what I said. I have Mimicryuu by my side. Don't you know its strength after fighting it?"
"Let's solve this incident tonight. We will have five more days to contact Tapu Moo."
After he finished speaking, Luo Mu released the Growlithe with an excellent sense of smell, and carried Mimicry on his shoulder and headed straight into the former site of the Super Value Supermarket.
After another short and rapid sneeze, Kukui silently zipped up his white coat, looked worriedly into the supermarket, and said curiously: "It's strange, the nights in this season shouldn't be so cold, so cold that it makes people feel creepy. Is Luo Mu really okay?"
"Also, I don't know if it's my illusion, but he seems to be more positive about many things?"
No one responded to Kukui's mumbling. Under the night sky, the old site of the Super Value Supermarket was like the gaping mouth of a monster, seemingly able to devour anyone it chose.
The Growlithe kept sniffing the ground to see if there was any smell that needed to be alerted. The sound of Luo Mu's footsteps on the ground was particularly loud in the silent night.
"Well, it's really shabby."
Luo Mu carefully avoided the building debris on the ground. It would be embarrassing if there was a steel nail hidden under a stone that would break at the touch of a button and pierce his foot directly.
Poking Mimikyuu (Detective.ver) who had been sensing the surrounding environment, Luo Mu asked, "How is it?"
A shadow claw stretched out from under the Mimikyuu doll, making the number five.
Luo Mu nodded: "Fifty percent of it is ghost energy? Then there is a high probability that there are wild ghost Pokémon wandering around here."
After thinking about it, Luo Mu realized that wandering around the supermarket aimlessly was not a solution, so he asked in his mind: "Is there anything good nearby? Point me in the direction."
[You can search the warehouse deep inside the supermarket]
"Warehouse? It's very likely!"
Luo Mu looked around for a while, and soon found the location of the warehouse on the tattered sign hanging above his head. He called for Growlithe and headed directly in that direction.
He knew that he had been a little emotional recently, but he was not as resistant to this feeling as he thought.
Although it would not lead to the system's long-cherished journey, Luo Mu felt that his attitude towards things would be much more positive, just like now.
Before, he was probably waiting for danger to approach him, but now he wanted to find the guy who was playing tricks in the old supermarket! Two minutes later, Luo Mu stood in front of the closed door, one hand on his waist, with a curious look on his face: "Is this the warehouse? Will Gastly or Incubus suddenly pop out after I open it?"
The warehouse is located at the innermost part of the supermarket, surrounded by walls, with a dilapidated door standing there alone.
Just as he was about to put his hand on the door handle, Luo Mu suddenly noticed a faint light flickering next to the shelf not far to the right. With a smile on his face, Luo Mu pointed directly at the shelf and said, "Over there, a shadow sneak attack!"
Caterpillar seemed to have noticed something was wrong and roared loudly in the direction of the shelf.
Mimikyu jumped off Luo Mu's shoulder with a snap, and a long dark shadow that looked more like a ghost suddenly stretched out from under the doll. In the blink of an eye, it extended to the shelf and brought out several "peepers" there.
As Luo Mu expected, several Gastly, Haunter and Incubus were pulled out by Mimikyu's shadow and looked at it in panic.
In their eyes, Mimikyu was a powerful ghost that was countless times stronger than them. After hesitating for a moment, several ghost-type Pokémon with human-like worried expressions on their faces chose to leave.
With such a strong ghost-type senior protecting him, that human should be fine, right?
From Luo Mu's perspective, several wild ghost-type Pokémon were caught by Mimikyu and fled in panic. It seems that the so-called "ghosts" that frightened the tourists and explorers should be these Pokémon.
Luo Mu waited there for more than ten minutes, confirming that the ghost-type Pokémon had not returned. He scratched his head and said in surprise, "It was solved so easily?"
He thought he would have to at least fight those ghost-type Pokémon, which would be a good opportunity for Growlithe to have a real fight.
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Mu turned his head to look at the dilapidated warehouse door behind him. He thought that since he was already here, although there was probably nothing behind this door, he might as well take a look before leaving.
They did what they said. The next moment after the old wooden door creaked, the true appearance of the warehouse came into view.
After seeing the internal structure clearly, Luo Mu was stunned.
"Eh?"
Judging from the large blank wall outside, he thought the warehouse must be quite large, but how come this space is only slightly larger than an ordinary bathroom?
The walls inside the room were even more shabby than the outside, full of cracks and still unpainted.
There were several photo frames without signs hanging on the wall, which looked a bit creepy. Luo Mu was very confused.
How does this place look like a warehouse?
The Cati Dog sniffed for a long time with its eyes closed but found nothing, so it could only sit quietly at Luo Mu's feet.
When Luo Mu's eyes fell on the corner of the room, he was a little surprised by the familiar Pikachu doll quietly lying there. Luo Mu turned his head to look at the Mimicry on his shoulder to confirm that it was still there.
Where did the mimic hill in the corner come from?
Just when Luo Mu was confused, the mimicry hill in the corner moved.
It slowly crawled in front of Luo Mu. Luo Mu could sense that the Mimikyu was staring at him. For some reason, Luo Mu could miraculously understand what the Mimikyu wanted to express, as if he was communicating with Moltres.
Mimikyuu means - can I see under its skirt?
