Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Youyou

It was already very late when I got home.

As soon as Ye Chuan opened the door, he saw a familiar figure sitting at the dining table. Seeing him return, her eyes immediately lit up: "You're back."

"So hungry," Ye Chuan said helplessly. He looked at the full table of food and then said:

"You can eat first, just leave some food for me."

"I'm still used to eating together. Ah Ye, go take a shower first." An Shiyu smiled and pushed Ye Chuan into the bathroom.

"Wait, I haven't gotten my clothes yet."

"I've already gotten them for you, they're in the bathroom."

After showering, Ye Chuan finally returned to the dining table to enjoy the meal. Watching the little Charmander devour its food beside him, Ye Chuan seemed to remember something and took out the Leppa Berry he had gotten from the little Radas that afternoon from his backpack.

"Isn't this a Leppa Berry?" An Shiyu recognized the type of Pokémon Berry at a glance.

"Yeah." Ye Chuan told An Shiyu about what happened in the afternoon.

An Shiyu rested her chin on her hands as she listened to Ye Chuan, her eyes gradually softening: "Ah Ye has never ignored things like this since before."

Ye Chuan just smiled slightly and then pointed to the Leppa Berry:

"If I remember correctly, Leppa Berries, these rare Pokémon Berries, can increase a Pokémon's power, right?"

"Leppa Berries, these rare Pokémon Berries, can greatly increase physical strength just by eating them." An Shiyu nodded, saying with a bit of regret:

"It's a pity there's only one."

"These Pokémon Berries without a purchase channel are hard to come by. It's already very good to get one in the wild," Ye Chuan asked:

"Shiyu, can you help me make it into an Energy Cube?"

At this moment, An Shiyu had a conflicted expression: "Hmm."

"What's wrong?" Seeing her rare expression, Ye Chuan looked curious.

"A single Leppa Berry won't make many Energy Cubes, so I wanted to add some other Berries." An Shiyu touched the Berry in her hand: "But this is also my first time using such a rare ingredient, what if it fails..."

"I believe in you."

Ye Chuan's words seemed to have a reassuring power. After hearing them, An Shiyu showed a sweet smile:

"Leave it to me! I'm going to squeeze out all its juice, not a single drop will be left!"

Seeing her like this, Ye Chuan continued eating with peace of mind.

After dinner, An Shiyu was washing dishes in the kitchen when suddenly, she felt a gust of coolness flowing under her skirt.

"Huh?" An Shiyu looked left and right, and after finding nothing, she thought it was just her imagination. She continued washing the dishes, but in the next second, an icy chill climbed up her thigh.

"What is it?!" An Shiyu took a step back, her face pale.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Chuan heard An Shiyu's voice and quickly walked out of the next room.

"Something is touching my thigh," An Shiyu said a little fearfully, looking around like a flustered little rabbit.

Ye Chuan looked at her slender and beautiful legs outlined by her black pantyhose and touched his chin:

"Get me one too."

"Silly Ah Ye!" An Shiyu glared at Ye Chuan angrily.

Just at this moment, An Shiyu's skirt suddenly floated up, as if someone had lifted it with their hand.

Ye Chuan: "..."

An Shiyu stared blankly at this scene, as if her brain had gone blank.

Ye Chuan activated his Aura and found a deep blue shadow floating beside An Shiyu: "As expected"

Just as he took out a Poké Ball, the figure slowly emerged: "Eek."

Gastly!

"A... a Ghost-type Pokémon?!" An Shiyu finally came to her senses, but she seemed very afraid of Gastly and directly hid behind Ye Chuan:

"Why is there a Gastly in our house?"

Ye Chuan had a helpless look: "It's a long story."

Seeing that An Shiyu was very afraid of it, Gastly seemed even more excited. Its figure changed, and it turned back into the shoulder-length-haired girl in the Silver Mountain Middle School uniform, revealing a pair of fangs:

"Ooooh, I'm a ghost!"

"T-transformed?" Seeing Gastly transform, An Shiyu was no longer afraid. She sized up Gastly's current appearance and then said:

"So cute."

"C-cute?!" Gastly had a stunned expression, then floated to the corner of the room and squatted down, facing the wall, seemingly lost in thought.

"Did I say something wrong?" An Shiyu blinked and looked at Ye Chuan beside her.

"Nope." Ye Chuan shrugged.

A few minutes later, Ye Chuan roughly explained about Gastly, and An Shiyu immediately reacted:

"I understand! It's the cry for help from one of the classrooms, one of the Silver Mountain Middle School legends!"

Seeing Ye Chuan's blank expression, An Shiyu explained, "It's said that in the teaching building of Silver Mountain Middle School at night, someone once heard a girl crying for help in a classroom. At that time, that person directly called a teacher to help open the door, but after going in, they didn't see anyone."

"Later, this incident was dismissed as a prank by that boy, but in the following days, students who returned home late continued to hear the cry for help coming from the classroom."

"It's said that if someone opens the door alone, they will encounter something very terrifying."

As An Shiyu spoke in a terrifying tone, she suddenly hugged Ye Chuan's arm fearfully:

"So scary!"

Ye Chuan: "..."

Are you an idiot?

"So, what are you doing following me back?" Ye Chuan looked at the Gastly in the distance.

Gastly raised its chin: "You weren't scared by me at all just now. I'm not satisfied."

"Just a mere Gastly." Ye Chuan crossed his arms.

"What do you mean 'just a mere Gastly'? I have a name!" Gastly put its hands on its hips:

"Call me Youyou!"

"Okay, Gastly."

"Youyouyouyouyouyouyou..." Gastly actually rolled around in the air like a child throwing a tantrum, shouting.

"Are you a child?!" Ye Chuan retorted.

"Youyou..." Gastly looked at Ye Chuan with teary eyes, but the tears flowing were blood tears, which looked a bit creepy.

"I understand."

Ye Chuan sighed helplessly: "So, weren't you going to scare me? Why are you bullying my companion?"

"I originally wanted to scare you, but this girl is just too cute, I couldn't help but lift her skirt." Youyou scratched its head, looking a bit embarrassed.

"I get it. Sometimes I think that way too." Ye Chuan nodded in agreement. The human and the Pokémon looked at each other, as if there was a sense of mutual understanding.

"Don't develop a tacit understanding in such a strange place!" An Shiyu shouted with a red face.

Seeing An Shiyu being teased like this, Ye Chuan coughed lightly, intending not to tease her anymore.

"Silly Ah Ye." An Shiyu covered her skirt and stared at Ye Chuan:

"Did you see just now?"

"No." Ye Chuan shook his head, putting on a serious face:

"Am I that kind of person?"

"I'm wearing a new one today, I won't let Ah Ye see it." An Shiyu stuck out her tongue.

"Isn't it still that same bear one from before?" Ye Chuan had a strange expression.

"You did see it after all!"
