Chapter 582: Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts!

As ti passed, the Ghost-type event was about to begin.

Terrance had already arrived at his starting point, ready at any mont to let Mismagius enter the amusent park.

Every Ghost-type Pokémon would enter the park from different directions. Each had a set amount of ti to hide, and once the event officially began, the horror monts inside the park would start.

Nurous Ghost-type Pokémon would use moves against each other—hypnosis, illusions, fright, nightmares... As long as the moves didn’t cause actual harm, any illusion-based or hypnosis-based technique was allowed. It would end when one side falls into confusion, faints, falls asleep, or goes out of bounds.

Then ca the most crucial point for judging the winner of this event: defeating a Ghost-type Pokémon would earn one point. The Ghost-type Pokémon with the highest number of points would beco the winner of the event.

In other words, this was a grand lee where victory could only be achieved through deception, not through violent ans.

"It’s so dark inside, and Ghost-type Pokémon are good at hiding. Can fairness really be guaranteed?"

Many people raised this concern. In response, the festival organizers provided this answer: all the surveillance, monitoring, and security devices used in this event were specially developed by the LaRousse City Technology Center and would not have any flaws.

LaRousse City Technology Center — this na represents the pinnacle of Hoenn’s technological advancent, even the peak of the three mainland regions: Kanto, Johto and Sinnoh. With repeated assurances from the festival organizers, the voices of doubt gradually faded away.

"Go on in." When the ti ca, Terrance summoned Mismagius. This Pokémon, like a wise magician, nodded toward Terrance and dove straight into the dimly lit and enclosed park.

At the sa ti, hundreds of Ghost-type Pokémon also entered. Whether participants or tourists and spectators, everyone began watching the happenings inside through the footage on the large screen.

Terrance was sure that Mismagius had completely hidden its body, but on the screen, not just Mismagius, all the Ghost-type Pokémon’s figures were clearly visible. The dim environnt inside didn’t hinder the broadcast at all, which made Terrance inwardly amazed.

"Amazing... To think they could achieve this level. As expected of a product from the LaRousse City Technology Center."

Able to pierce through illusions and reveal the true forms of Ghost-type Pokémon.

With the aid of LaRousse City Technology Center’s technology, it beca much easier for everyone to watch the event. If the event had truly left people in the dark, its entertainnt value would have been far too low.

Even before the official event ti began, the large number of Ghost-type Pokémon had already hidden themselves inside, lying in wait to ambush their opponents.

The layout inside the amusent park was very cleverly designed—layer upon layer of obstacles and amusent equipnt blocked the line of sight. In this kind of environnt, it was perfect for Pokémon to ambush each other.

Without strong observational and sensory abilities, even if one could avoid a single ambush in such an environnt, there would be no escaping a coordinated ambush possibly launched by several Pokémon together.

"The view is gone..." Terrance shook his head slightly. The screen’s perspective was switching very frequently, and before long, Terrance lost track of Mismagius. A Gastly, marked on the edge with a Trainer na he didn’t recognize, appeared on the screen.

At this mont, many Ghost-type Pokémon were all taking action.

...

...

Mismagius had already been inside the amusent park for quite a while. Floating expressionlessly, it surveyed the dim surroundings and the dilapidated structures around.

While flying, Mismagius sensed a number of similar auras; at least several Ghost-type Pokémon were hiding nearby.

Mismagius had no intention of hiding itself. In its perception, the auras of these fellow Pokémon were all too weak.

They were not even as strong as it had been half a year ago, let alone now, after it had absorbed the resources of the entire Nightmare Island.

"If you want to win, just relying on hiding and ambushing won’t work..."

Recalling Terrance’s reminder, Mismagius slowly flew toward an area where the similar auras were more concentrated, near an old castle structure.

"Mism~agius~" As its figure appeared, Mismagius let out a soft whisper.

"What’s going on with that Mismagius?"

"Wait a minute, that Mismagius’s Trainer is..."

As the screen’s perspective shifted to Mismagius on certain displays, many people were montarily stunned.

With the appearance of this Mismagius, the Trainer na marked on the screen was Terrance. This was an identity that had been mutually locked in during the initial registration.

Terrance’s Mismagius? Why is it just standing out there doing nothing?

Many Ghost-type Pokémon had hidden themselves, waiting for the right mont to strike. But Terrance’s Mismagius, on the other hand, was floating in the most conspicuous spot as if frozen in place, seemingly waiting for an enemy attack.

In fact, Mismagius wasn’t the only one behaving this way.

In one direction, soone was also pointing at the screen in surprise, looking at a Gengar that was walking on the ground while letting out an eerie laugh.

In another direction, there was also a Mismagius floating in the air with a stern expression. Its Trainer’s na was Fantina.

"Are these people trying to provoke all the Ghost-type Pokémon directly?"

The key to winning this event was in how many Pokémon one could defeat. By conventional thods, that number wouldn’t be very high.

For those who wanted to win, they had to take the initiative while also attracting as many Pokémon as possible to attack them. Only in that way would there be a chance of claiming final victory.

"Don’t be reckless..." Participants silently prayed as they watched a few Pokémon swagger into highly visible areas on the screen.

These few Pokémon clearly had enough confidence in their own strength. The viewers feared their own Pokémon might charge straight out and walk right into the enemy’s trap.

At tis like this, waiting until the end to reap the rewards was the best strategy.

Unfortunately, what the Trainers watching from outside understood wasn’t necessarily clear to the ones inside.

Most of the Ghost-type Pokémon that had gone into hiding only thought that fools were wandering around outside—living, breathing targets.

"This event... just got interesting."

Albus looked at Mismagius and laughed. He knew the level of mastery that Mismagius had over illusion skills.

After half a year, and after spending that ti on Nightmare Island, a treasure trove for Ghost-type Pokémon, this Mismagius’s strength should have beco truly formidable, right?

When this event fully lifted the veil, aning it officially began—

Terrance saw that the area he was in was still showing other scenes on the screens. He sighed and looked directly toward the amusent park.

At this mont, Mismagius should be starting to act.
