As system prompts continued to sound.
The water ghost struggled violently, its Yin energy surging, desperately trying to pry the Squirtles off its body.
However.
There were too many Squirtles. As soon as it pried off the Squirtle on its left hand and prepared to pry off the one on its right, the Squirtle on its left hand pounced again, clinging tightly to its arm.
[Ding! The water ghost is going mad, desperately wishing for thunder and rain right now. I remember a folk saying that turtles will let go when it thunders.]
[Host gains System Points +120]
Even.
It unleashed its Yin energy, stirring the river water and creating sounds like thunder.
However, the effect was not as good as imagined; on the contrary, it worsened, and the Squirtles held on even tighter.
For a moment.
A bizarre and extremely eerie scene appeared in this river.
A厉鬼 (lì guǐ - fierce ghost) shrouded in Yin energy, with disheveled hair, roared at the sky, with six blue turtles clinging to its body. It frantically leaped and jumped in the water, shaking its body wildly, trying to get rid of the 'pendants' on it.
Then.
After struggling for a long time and finding that it still couldn't shake off the Squirtles, the water ghost gritted its teeth and rushed towards the surface of the water.
At the same time.
Above this river, a high school senior was standing by the riverbank, curiously watching the river.
Although it was only the first day of the college entrance examination, he was in a good mood. Because after the math exam, he found that all the top students felt the math exam was difficult. He was immediately overjoyed. This situation was very friendly to the average students like him. Since he couldn't do it, and the top students couldn't do it either, the scores wouldn't be too far apart, and the admission line wouldn't be too high.
However, his attention was no longer on the college entrance examination, but was attracted by the river.
Not long ago.
He had passed by this river and found that the normally calm Minjiang River surface had become turbulent, with waves occasionally rolling up.
He had walked by this river for over ten years and had never seen such a situation before, so he couldn't help but stop and watch out of curiosity.
As he watched.
He even took out his phone, preparing to capture the spectacular scene of the river churning.
*Click.*
With the sound of the phone's camera shutter.
*BOOM!!!!*
Before he could appreciate the photo he had taken, the river surface in front of him exploded with a deafening roar, as if a high-explosive underwater mine had been detonated. The river erupted, and waves surged skyward, reaching several meters high.
Watching the torrential river water explode upwards, the student was stunned.
At this moment.
His pupils suddenly dilated, and he saw a scene he would never forget in his life...
From the river water that exploded into the sky, a disheveled water ghost, with six turtles clinging to its body, burst out of the water like a rocket, roaring "Let me go!" At the same time, the six turtles were frantically spitting water at it.
The student was dumbfounded, and all thoughts related to the college entrance examination vanished from his mind, replaced by a series of questions...
Do ghosts really exist in this world?!
Is that a water ghost?!
And those are... turtles???
Wait!
Holy crap?!
The water ghost and the turtles are fighting?!
Holy crap?!
The water ghost is being ganged up on by turtles?... The water ghost... can't beat the turtles???
Seeing this.
The student's mind went blank, leaving only one thought: So... turtles are the natural enemy of water ghosts.
As this thought emerged.
Whether it was because it discovered it was seen by the student, or because the water ghost's rush out of the water had an effect, or because it knew that this entanglement was not working, the Squirtles instantly let go of the water ghost.
[Ding! The water ghost discovers it's been released by the Squirtles and feels as if it's been granted a great pardon, Woohoo!! Wonderful!!! The spitting turtles have let me go!]
[Host gains System Points +130]
The water ghost did not miss the opportunity.
The moment it broke free, it turned and plunged back into the water.
In response.
The Squirtles were not in a hurry and followed closely into the water.
"Squirtle Squirtle."
Listening to the Squirtle calls coming from behind him and watching the Squirtles chase him, even though the water ghost couldn't understand turtle language, it could understand what the Squirtles were saying from their actions and behavior, which was telling it not to run.
Instantly.
The water ghost's face darkened. While widening the distance from the Squirtles, it no longer dared to be careless, unleashing all its Yin energy and attacking the Squirtles with full force.
[Ding! The water ghost unleashes its strongest attack, roaring in its heart, No matter what you are, all of you die!!]
[Host gains System Points +140]
Facing its full-power attack.
The water ghost was full of confidence. After fighting for so long, it had discovered that these turtles were not as strong as it was, but they were numerous and troublesome. Now that it had created distance and unleashed its full-power attack, with their inferior strength, they were surely doomed to die.
However, before it could even smile in victory, it was dumbfounded the next second.
Just as it unleashed its full-power attack.
As if sensing the threat, the six Squirtles roared "Squirtle Squirtle" towards the sky.
*Chii!!*
Light bloomed.
In the water ghost's eyes, filled with disbelief.
The leading Squirtle erupted in brilliant light, and as the light expanded, the Squirtle's size suddenly increased, and it emitted a "Kame Kame" sound.
[Ding! The water ghost is dumbfounded, damn it! Are you playing dirty, not being able to win and then breaking through on the spot? Evolving?]
[Host gains System Points +100]
[Ding! Reclaiming System Points from five Squirtle toys, leaving only 1 System Point]
[Ding! Bestowing 40,000 System Points onto one Squirtle toy]
[Ghost Back Mark is activated, a portion of Elder Willow's strength is bestowed upon one Squirtle toy]
System prompts sounded.
The water ghost sensed that the transformed turtle had become stronger, its aura rising steadily, and it quickly broke through to the Ghost King level, its strength already on par with its own.
But before the water ghost could be shocked.
The Squirtle, which had evolved into a Wartortle, once again erupted in light, its size changing again, and its aura continued to rise, directly surpassing the water ghost that had just been promoted to Ghost King.
When the light faded.
The water ghost stood there like a wooden chicken, looking at the turtle that had become taller than itself, with a fierce and menacing appearance, especially the two cannons on its shell, and fell silent.
[Ding! The water ghost wants to curse, damn it, you turtle, you evolve and you even bring cannons?]
[Host gains System Points +110]
Looking at the Squirtle that had evolved into Blastoise and sensing its Ghost King-level aura.
The water ghost did not hesitate for a moment, turned around, and fled.
It was already troublesome enough before it evolved, and now it had evolved, broken through, and even brought cannons. What was the point of fighting? It would definitely die here.
Unfortunately.
Blastoise seemed to have anticipated this. The moment it ran, it roared "Kame Kame" towards the sky, charging forward rapidly, while the two cannons on its shell aimed directly at the water ghost.
The next moment.
Two earth-shattering roars.
Terrifyingly powerful water cannons were fired from its cannons.
"Ah!!!!"
The water ghost was directly hit, and one of its arms was blown off.
Blastoise, however, showed no mercy, firing cannonball after cannonball, blowing off one of the water ghost's legs, making it unable to escape. Then it charged forward, raised its two turtle hands, which glowed, and unleashed the Pokémon move, Mega Punch.
Finally.
As the water ghost was beaten to the brink of death, Blastoise retreated and unleashed the Blastoise version of Skull Bash.
*BOOM!!!!*
As a loud bang erupted, system prompts followed closely.
[Ding! The water ghost is on its last breath, and before dying, it desperately wants to ask someone, what exactly is this thing? Is it a Turtle Prime Minister? But this isn't the East Sea, and are there six Turtle Prime Ministers?]
[Host gains System Points +120]
Unfortunately, no one answered it. The only answers it received were Blastoise's "Kame Kame" and the other five Squirtles' "Squirtle Squirtle."
[Ding! On its deathbed, the water ghost listens to Blastoise's cries and thinks, this isn't a turtle, nor is it a turtle, it's a whole lending group, one called "Lend you, lend you," and another called "Can't, can't."]
[Host gains System Points +120]
System prompts sounded.
Blastoise threw a Poké Ball at the dying water ghost, capturing it. Then the Poké Ball shook, and after a while, with a ding, the small red light on its semicircle stopped flashing red.
