Su Feng walked unsteadily toward the villa's exit, cradling Haunter in his left arm and Torchic in his right. Anyone who's carried uneven weights knows the struggle: one arm feels light as air, the other drags you down. Torchic wasn't heavy, but Haunter—weighing a mere 0.1 kilograms—might as well have been a balloon. Still, Su Feng endured the awkwardness, basking in the bittersweet joy of his Pokémon world "harem."
At the door, he paused. "Did I forget something…?"
In a hospital bed far away, Brother Sun: "…"
[Brother Sun's crying right now.]
[Brother Sun: "Sure, hug your new pets. Who cares about us?"]
[Can't blame him. Who'd remember three randos when you've got a Haunter?]
The chat's teasing reminded Su Feng of the trio still comatose. "Haunter, remember three humans who came here recently? A chubby bald guy, a skinny dude, and a plain cameraman?"
"Gast!"
Haunter zipped back into the villa and dragged out the Gengar leader. After some animated gesturing, Gengar reached into its belly and pulled out three glowing orbs. Haunter proudly presented them to Su Feng.
Su Feng: "…"
[Wait, why can it store things in its stomach!?]
[Chubby and adorable!]
[I wanna squish it. What's it feel like?]
Su Feng explained patiently. "Gengar, evolved from Haunter, shifts from a gaseous to a shadow form. They hide in shadows, have red eyes, big white teeth, and soft spikes on their backs. Their bellies connect to a pocket dimension for storage. Handy, right? Most are playful pranksters, but some can be dangerous. Don't approach wild ones casually!"
[Pocket dimension? That's OP!]
[Totally gives me Doraemon vibes!]
[Bio-spatial tech?]
[How is a ghost this cute!?]
"Gengar are pretty cute," Su Feng agreed, inspecting the orbs. Inside, Brother Sun and his crew floated naked in fetal positions.
"Are these… their souls?"
"Gast!"
Haunter flailed her arms, aided by the system's translation (costing Su Feng 1 point).
Backstory:
Haunter wanted to play with the trio. After scaring them, she yanked out their souls for "fun," planning to return them later.
Then firefighters stormed in, took the bodies, and Haunter panicked. To preserve the souls, Gengar compressed them into orbs until they could reunite with their bodies.
Su Feng facepalmed. Of course these three would get ghost-napped.
"Alright, folks. Good news: Brother Sun's savable. Bad news: Let's all apologize to his family for this ghostly oopsie."
He spun the tale diplomatically, painting Haunter as a well-meaning prankster.
[LMAO, if his fans hadn't called 911, he'd be fine!]
[Can't blame them. Who'd guess ghosts stole his soul?]
[This is why we need more streamers like Feng—survival guides for the Pokémonpocalypse.]
As the chat debated, Su Feng bowed theatrically. "Thanks for the love! Off to resurrect Brother Sun. Stay tuned!"
