Julian immediately encouraged Gengar.

"As expected of the most evil Gengar in the world. Good thing you helped me chase those wandering souls away."

In truth, those wandering souls did not dare approach Julian at all.

His life force was far too strong, burning like the sun. It would scorch them if they came too close.

All the wandering souls could do was drift around Julian and mutter endlessly.

Actually, Gengar did not need to do anything.

Once Julian mounted Miraidon and Miraidon’s motorcycle-like tail exhaust flared out, those wandering souls would never catch up anyway.

The middle-aged man was somewhat embarrassed.

He had said he came to help.

In the end, he had almost made things worse.

"Alright. Since Spiritomb’s ghost has been dealt with, let’s head back."

When Julian and the middle-aged man returned, some villagers had already woken up after drinking Oran Berry juice and having their life force return to their bodies.

After learning that Julian had saved them, they immediately showed grateful smiles.

Julian waved his hand.

"No need. If this man hadn’t risked his life to protect everyone, I wouldn’t have made it in time to save you."

The moment Julian finished speaking, the roar of a motorcycle sounded outside.

Along with Growlithe’s bark, Officer Jenny’s anxious voice rang out.

"How are the villagers?"

Julian walked out and smiled at Officer Jenny.

"Officer Jenny, the matter has basically been resolved. The villagers are fine."

The villagers were fine...

But one young girl was not...

Officer Jenny quietly shattered inside.

She had ridden her motorcycle for so long to rush to Bluestone Village.

In the end, just as she arrived, Julian told her everything had already been solved.

Officer Jenny blinked, came back to herself, and asked, "I rushed towards Bluestone Village at my fastest speed. How did you get here before me?"

Julian pointed at Miraidon.

"Maybe because my motorcycle is faster."

Officer Jenny looked at Miraidon and felt he seemed a little familiar.

A purple lizard...

Officer Jenny showed a shocked expression.

"That purple meteor I saw streaking across the sky on the way here — that was you!"

This was Officer Jenny’s duty. Even if she knew Julian was here, she still would have rushed over at top speed.

It was just that she had spent the whole journey frightened and anxious, terrified she would arrive too late and the villagers would be harmed.

That emotional torment was the real drain on Officer Jenny.

If she had known Julian was here, her nerves would not have been stretched so tightly.

With the matter resolved, both Officer Jenny and Growlithe showed signs of exhaustion.

Officer Jenny looked at the middle-aged man.

"Village Chief Willow, I need to rest for a while before I can handle the follow-up work."

Willow waved his hand.

"It’s fine. Gym Leader Julian’s diagnosis was very accurate, and the treatment method he gave was effective. Everyone is alright now."

"Officer Jenny, please go rest without worry."

Julian had woken up in the middle of the night, flown over at his fastest speed, scanned a large area with Aura, and fought Spiritomb’s ghost.

He was also somewhat tired.

"Village Chief, are there any spare rooms? I’d like to rest for a while too."

For the first time, Village Chief Willow showed a smile.

"If Gym Leader Julian needs rest, then of course there is!"

A young woman stepped forward.

"You can come to my house. We have an empty room."

Her little face was flushed red. Who knew how much courage and determination it took for her to say those words?

Julian smiled slightly.

"Thank you. Officer Jenny, you should go."

Officer Jenny froze.

"Ah? Me?"

Julian waved his hand.

"I’ll go to the village chief’s house."

Willow nodded.

"That works. Follow me."

...

After sleeping, Julian woke up to find that it was already half past two in the afternoon.

When he left the room, a large group of villagers enthusiastically surrounded him.

"Gym Leader Julian, you must be hungry. We made some food. Please don’t mind that our village ingredients are ordinary."

Julian smiled and said, "Not at all. I’m just hungry. Everyone, let’s eat together."

Officer Jenny had woken earlier than Julian and had already started eating.

Two large tables had been pushed together, with more than twenty or thirty dishes placed across them.

The portions were large. It felt like enough for one of Julian’s meals.

After sitting down, Julian directly filled a bowl of rice and began eating.

The dishes on the table started disappearing at a visible speed.

Officer Jenny’s eyes widened.

"Do all martial artists eat this much?"

Julian smiled.

"More or less. It’s just that my family is a little special. We have bigger appetites."

Originally, Julian had thought his appetite had grown because of his dantian.

Actually, that was not the case!

His dantian had only opened up his Fighting talent, making him more like Darius and Maylene, who both had enormous appetites.

The dantian refused to take the blame.

Village Chief Willow sat nearby.

"For this mission’s reward, our village will discuss a suitable amount with Officer Jenny and Miss Joy."

"We’ll make sure you’re satisfied, Gym Leader Julian."

This was a high-risk task, and one that had to be handled quickly.

They could not think Spiritomb’s ghost was weak just because Julian’s Pokémon had surrounded and beaten it.

Any evil spirit capable of speech was not simple.

Julian waved his hand.

"I’m not in a rush. First, buy some nutritional supplements for the injured villagers. The mission reward can come slowly."

These were villagers who earned their living through hard work. Julian did not want their lives to become difficult because of this incident.

But the money still had to be paid.

After all, what he earned was also hard-earned money.

"Then I’ll head back first. There are still things at the Gym I need to handle."

Officer Jenny nodded.

"You go ahead. If we discover any other problems later, we may still need you to make another trip."

Julian mounted Miraidon and called Cassia while flying through the sky.

"Cassia, the evil spirit has been dealt with. I just checked my messages. Kai has already sent the ice cream to you."

Cynthia raised an eyebrow.

"What kind of evil spirit? You weren’t injured, were you?"

Julian smiled and answered, "I’m fine. It was a ghost formed after a Spiritomb died. It had been sealed in a clay jar, and after escaping, it absorbed the villagers’ life force."

Cynthia nodded.

"Then the sealing tool you used this time should be sturdy enough, right?"

Julian’s body stiffened.

"Sea... sealing?"

Cynthia explained seriously, "For a ghost like that, even if you scatter it, it can absorb Ghost energy and reform its body."

"So the best method is either to seal the ghost away or send it into the spirit world. Otherwise, it may revive like embers beneath ash."

"So... you scattered it?"

Julian was somewhat embarrassed.

"If I go back now, find those wandering souls, and think of a way to seal them, would that work?"

Cynthia shook her head.

"I’m afraid not. There are many similar cases recorded in historical texts. In the end, they usually had to wait until the ghost caused trouble again before sealing it."

"Don’t worry. There’s no war now, so wandering souls can’t absorb Ghost energy that easily."

"The more likely outcome is that they’ll disperse because they’ve lost their energy, or voluntarily head to the spirit world."

Only then did Julian let out a breath of relief.

"That’s good. Cassia... what I wanted to say is, three days from now, I’ll come to Celestic Town to pick you up."

"We’ll go to the fireworks festival in Solaceon Town together."

Cynthia smiled faintly, a blush spreading across her cheeks.

Then she gave a soft sound.

"Mm."
