"Spring in the Sinnoh region, the sun is bright, and the flowers are in full bloom. Inside the Breeding House where Gengar lives, gracidea flowers are blooming wantonly, and the entire Breeding House is filled with their perfect fragrance. Just amidst this fragrance, our protagonist, Gengar, opened its eyes from the ceiling and began a new day."
Hearing Lucas's words, Gengar was clearly stunned for a moment, and accidentally fell from the ceiling.
???
"Gothitelle?"
What are you doing?
Gothitelle whispered in Lucas's ear.
"Ah? I'm reading the narration. Don't you think it adds more flavor?"
Lucas also said in a low voice.
Gothitelle: ----
Lilligant: ----
Ninetales: ----
"Gothitelle."
The narration is added in post-production.
"Ah? Is that so? I guess so. Oh well, it doesn't matter, it didn't affect anything."
Lucas waved his hand lightly, indicating it was fine, and continued to stare at the screen in the machine, where Gengar was standing on the floor, dazed.
What are you doing?
Lucas gripped the wooden plaque pendant on his chest and conveyed his Confusion to Gengar.
I forgot my lines ----
Lucas: ----
Didn't you stay up all night memorizing them last night?!
I read for a few minutes and then accidentally fell asleep ----
I ---- You ---- Go sit at the same table as Shauna!
No lines, just find something you like in the treasure chest and that's it.
--
Oh.
Gengar added its own improvisation, raised its little hand, and gave the camera a wink.
Ugh ----
Lucas felt like he was about to throw up his breakfast.
Gengar: (
Gengar turned around and picked up a hat from the box prepared in advance. It was a straw hat with a logo of Gengar's big head printed on it.
"Gengar!"
Today it looks like my identity is a gardener!
Gengar introduced itself.
"..."
You can't use 'I' in acting! You have to use 'I'!
Lucas couldn't help but speak out.
Gengar: ? ---- )
Is it like this?
"Continue, continue."
Through the mutual torture of Lucas and Gengar, the cooperation of the entire Breeding House, and the guidance of world-class actress Diantha on the side, Lucas finally finished filming the first episode of the "Variety Gengar" series that he had promised to film for Gengar.
"I'm exhausted! It's all Gengar's fault, always having one idea after another."
After handing the machine to Gothitelle, Lucas sat directly on the grass, panting heavily.
Carrying this broken machine all day, it was so heavy. Lucas felt that his shoulders had lost all sensation.
"Gengar!"
It was clearly you who decided what plot to film whenever you thought of something! And you're blaming me!
Watching Lucas and Gengar start arguing again, Diantha was unsurprised. She walked into the garden with her Gardevoir, sat on a chair, and let out a long sigh.
Accompanying Lucas to film is much more tiring than filming her own movies ----
"imai~"
--
Thank you for your hard work~
Alcremie carried a large tray, moved its short little legs, ran into the garden, and placed the honey water and desserts on the table.
"imai~"
Please enjoy~
"Thank you, Alcremie."
Diantha picked up the honey water, bit the straw, and took a sip. The sweetness instantly nourished her whole body. She looked at Alcremie and said thank you gently.
Alcremie nodded shyly, then ran back to the kitchen holding the tray.
Looking at Alcremie's back, Diantha wondered if she needed to raise an Alcremie too, so she could have such delicious honey water and desserts wherever she went?
On the other side, Lucas, who was arguing with Gengar, suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder. He looked up and found that his Mother Gothitelle was massaging his shoulders. Feeling the comfort from his shoulders, Lucas grinned.
"Thank you, Mother Gothitelle~"
Gothitelle remained expressionless and continued to massage Lucas's shoulders.
"For Gothitelle's sake, I, being the bigger person, won't argue with you today."
Hearing Lucas's words, Gengar snorted, turned its body around, faced its butt toward Lucas, and then secretly ate the sausage Gothitelle handed it with Confusion.
It was for Gothitelle's sake that I wouldn't continue to argue with you, hmph!
Gothitelle would sometimes intervene in the wars between Lucas and Gengar, but it mostly intervened in arguments because it felt that Lucas and Gengar's mouths never stopped, and it was annoyed to death by the noise.
But if it was a physical fight, Gothitelle rarely intervened. On the contrary, it would hold sunflower seeds and stand on the side with Lilligant to watch the show.
Because when they fought, both Lucas and Gengar's mouths were not free; their mouths were filled with each other's arms, stuffed full, and they had no chance to speak. Gothitelle also learned for the first time that when someone fought a Pokémon, they would actually even use their mouths.
After a short rest, Lucas took Gengar and the others back to the rest area. He sat on the armchair and began to edit the filmed video.
"If the rotom phone could help me edit the video by itself, that would be great. Unfortunately, that kind of rotom phone really has a Rotom locked inside."
Lucas said while working: "When I earn more money, I will buy a Rotom, so I will be much more relaxed in terms of electronic work."
"How is the editing going?"
Diantha came to Lucas's side, looked at the video on Lucas's computer screen, and asked curiously.
"It's a mess ---- lots of messy conversations, and a lot of people accidentally appearing in the frame."
Lucas now had a headache, "If I had known, I wouldn't have argued with Gengar while filming. Now it's all filled with our messy conversations."
"Forget it, just edit out the main scenes. As for the dialogue, let it stay in there; it acts as a feature of our video."
Lucas no longer hoped that what he filmed could be broadcasted on TV. He only hoped that it could be posted on the internet as a video, so that Gengar could have a thrill, and it wouldn't be a waste of a day's effort.
"Looking at it this way, our video will be more distinctive than others' videos?"
Lucas bit his finger and said.
Slap.
Lilligant slapped Lucas's finger out of his mouth, staring at him with unkind eyes.
"Lilli."
It's not hygienic at all.
"I washed my hands."
Lilligant narrowed her eyes.
"Lilli."
If you do this again, I'll go sleep by the Lake tonight.
"I was wrong."
Lucas took the tissue handed over by Lilligant and wiped his hands carefully.
"Are you sure you aren't just making excuses for yourself because you're lazy?"
Diantha didn't hesitate at all and directly exposed Lucas's lie.
Seeing that he had been exposed, Lucas wasn't annoyed, but looked up at Gengar who was watching cartoons: "Gengar, I'll delete some unimportant conversations. For the remaining conversations, if they don't affect the plot, I'll keep them in the video, okay?"
"Gengar!"
No problem.
Gengar said without looking back, not caring at all.
Watching Gengar's indifferent appearance, Lucas sighed. How come it felt like he was the only one who cared about this video?
However, holding onto the fact that this was Gengar's first starring work, and possibly its last, Lucas still focused on processing the video.
The Breeding House was left only with the sounds of delivery service Pokémon coming and going, and the sound of the cartoons that Gengar had deliberately turned down.
"I can't do it anymore."
Lucas collapsed directly onto the chair and let out a wail.
"So tired, my head is about to explode."
Lucas complained while watching the video upload to a video website.
"Some big fat kid doesn't know how to thank me either. Really, I'm so tired, and he didn't even pour me a glass of water ----"
Gengar, who was watching cartoons, twitched its ears. Its whole body floated into the kitchen, brought honey water to Lucas, handed it to him, and had a playful smile on its face.
"Gengar!"
Thank you for your hard work, please drink some water.
"That's more like it. The video upload was successful. You should be able to see yourself on the tablet soon."
Lucas took the honey water, took a sip, and then said.
"Gengar?"
Really?
"Gengar!"
Thank you, Lucas!
Gengar happily pressed Lucas under its body, and its big tongue kept licking Lucas's face.
After Gengar left, satisfied and holding the tablet, Lucas lay motionless on the armchair until Gothitelle wiped his face clean with a tissue and stuffed a Cheri Berry into Lucas's mouth, only then did Lucas recover.
He kicked Gengar's butt hard, as it was squatting in a strange and funny posture, staring closely at the tablet. Caught off guard, Gengar fell flat on its face. In order not to let the tablet in its hand fall to the ground, Gengar made full use of the advantage of its cheeks to cushion the fall.
"Ungrateful guy."
Lucas kicked Gengar's butt again.
Gengar floated into the air, patted its butt, and made a face at Lucas.
"Gengar!"
Today, for the sake of your hard work, I won't argue with you.
After Gengar finished speaking, it took Shauna, Tomoyo, Zorua, and Munchlax to the doll area, surrounded the tablet, and kept refreshing the page, so that they could see it the first time after the video uploaded by Lucas passed the review.
Glancing at Gengar and the others, Lucas yawned and looked around, but didn't see Lilligant. He asked curiously: "Where is Lilligant?"
"Gothitelle."
She is in the backyard garden chatting with Ms. Diantha and Mrs. Fujino.
"I see. Call me when it's time to eat. I'll sleep for a while. I'm exhausted today."
Lucas looked at Gothitelle floating beside him and said.
Gothitelle nodded, indicating it understood.
So Lucas grabbed Ninetales' two big tails, using one as a pillow and the other as a bolster, and fell asleep beautifully.
Gothitelle placed the gracidea flower aromatherapy it had just researched yesterday on the table around Lucas, and then gently pressed Lucas's temples with its hands.
Bursts of floral fragrance filled the tip of Lucas's nose. Although the Breeding House was full of the fragrance of gracidea flowers everywhere, the aromatherapy fragrance researched by Gothitelle was also very fragrant. Lucas, who originally only needed the fragrance of gracidea flowers to sleep peacefully, with the combination of the gracidea flower aromatherapy and the gracidea flower fragrance from the backyard, plus the fluffy feeling in his arms, Lucas's sleepiness came even more rapidly. In less than a minute, Lucas let out faint snoring sounds.
Cynthia came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and saw the message Diantha sent her in the afternoon, which said that the video Lucas filmed had been uploaded successfully.
"Is it finished filming?"
Cynthia wrapped herself in a bath towel, curiously picked up her phone, and sat on a chair. Lucario was already waiting with a hairdryer on the side. After seeing Cynthia sit down, Lucario held the hairdryer and started to blow-dry Cynthia's hair.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lucario."
Lucario nodded, indicating that this was what it should do.
While having Lucario dry her hair, Cynthia logged onto the website where Lucas uploaded his videos and searched for "Gengar the Transformer." A video over 30 minutes long popped up, with a close-up of a big, chubby face on the thumbnail.
"Garchomp, do you want to come watch it with me?"
Cynthia asked Garchomp, who was nearby, while browsing the comments. There were only a few dozen comments, and when Cynthia clicked in, almost all of them were about Diantha.
For example: "Oh my god, what am I seeing? Is that Miss Diantha?"
"Why is Miss Diantha appearing in the video?"
"Is Miss Diantha in a relationship?"
"Is this Miss Diantha's new movie? It doesn't look like it, isn't the protagonist Gengar?"
Of course, there were a few comments about the video itself.
For example: "Not gonna lie, the idea is quite interesting, and Gengar is pretty cute too."
"To the person above, 'cute' is an understatement, it's 'cute star flying tackle' level, okay!"
"What is this, does no one think Lilligant is the most beautiful one?"
"It's a pity the dialogue inside was too awkward; it would have been better if it were filmed better."
However, these types of comments were almost completely drowned out by the comments from Diantha's fan base.
"kao!?"
Cynthia looked up and found Garchomp standing behind her. Lucario had also finished drying her hair. She reached out and touched her hair. "Thank you for your hard work. Let's watch it together."
So, Cynthia sat in her armchair, holding Glaceon in her arms, and clicked on the video.
A familiar voice came through. Hearing the narration read by Lucas, Cynthia instantly understood that Gengar's identity for the day was a gardener.
With Lucas's narration, Gengar brought a large pair of shears to the backyard and began its day's work as a gardener.
In the video, Gengar first helped trim the flowers in the garden. This job was usually the responsibility of Gothitelle or Mr. Fujino every day. Accompanied by the sound of Gengar arguing with the narrator, Gengar trimmed all the flowers in the garden, making them look exceptionally beautiful.
Looking at the fleeting figure in the purple court dress, the corners of Cynthia's mouth curled up slightly. Without needing to guess, she knew Gengar must have finished the flower trimming work with the help of Gothitelle.
Gengar floated to the warehouse but was dragged out of the wall by a pair of hands that suddenly reached in from outside the camera's view. The narrator's voice rang out: "You're filming, why are you walking through walls? How am I supposed to get in?"
Listening to Lucas's complaints, Cynthia finally couldn't help but laugh.
"That's quite interesting."
Cynthia said softly.
She noticed there was no response from her Pokémon. She turned her head and found that her Pokémon were intently watching the video on the phone, especially Spiritomb, whose shadow stretched directly to the ceiling with its head hanging upside down just to watch the video.
Cynthia smiled helplessly. "Alright, I'll project it onto the wall."
Cynthia projected the video onto the wall using her genuine rotom phone. Garchomp and the other Pokémon scattered, all finding a suitable spot to start watching the video.
Garchomp even took out the snacks Gengar had given it from the kitchen and shared some with Lucario and the others. A group of Pokémon sat there, eating snacks and watching the video.
"Give me some too, Garchomp."
Garchomp handed the jar directly to Cynthia, then snatched one from Lucario beside it.
Lucario: ?
The smile in Cynthia's eyes deepened. After taking some, she handed the jar in her hand to Lucario.
Then she sat with Garchomp and the others to watch the video together.
In the video, Gengar floated out of the warehouse carrying a lawnmower, skillfully placed it on the grass, adjusted it, started the engine, sat on the lawnmower, and began clearing the weeds in the back.
This job was usually done by Gengar, so Gengar finished it very skillfully and quickly.
The video followed Gengar's work trajectory. After finishing the business in the backyard, Gengar began wandering around the backyard, helping Pokémon in need everywhere.
For example, a Pachirisu had just climbed a berry tree and wanted to pick a berry. The next second, a pair of big, chubby hands handed it a berry. Pachirisu took the berry, looked up, and found Gengar, wearing a gardener's hat, chewing on a berry while watching it with a smile.
Pachirisu: Huh?
Gengar finished the berry in two or three bites. After putting the berry in its hand into Pachirisu's arms, Gengar waved at Pachirisu, then turned and left without any hesitation.
Pachirisu lowered its head, looked at the berry in its arms, then looked up at the place where it wanted to pick the berry. That huge berry was gone. It looked down again at the berry in its arms; it was half the size of that berry.
Remembering the berry Gengar had just eaten, which was the very berry it had wanted to pick, Pachirisu's eyes instantly moistened.
"Papa!!!"
Pachirisu's crying resounded throughout the Breeding House.
My berry!!! Such a big berry!!! The berry I had been looking for for so long!!!
Gengar looked back, its eyes moist.
I didn't expect Pachirisu to be moved to tears by my actions. Little Pachirisu, I didn't expect you to be such a gentle and kind Pokémon. I've decided, I will help more Pokémon in need in the future.
Logically speaking, the "Gengar the Transformer" series wouldn't lack a big villain. Coincidentally, today's villain is played by our Mr. Pinsir.
The narration sounded: "Pinsir, the Stag Beetle Pokémon. In this Breeding House backyard, full of spring flowers, fragrance, and food and vegetables, there is such a Pinsir, one that has been eyeing the vegetable garden guarded by Lilligant. Today, while Lilligant was taking a nap, Pinsir secretly came to the vegetable garden again, planning to steal some vegetables to take back and share with his good buddy Heracross."
On screen, Pinsir sneaked to the entrance of the vegetable garden naturally.
Cynthia looked at Pinsir. For some reason, she had an inexplicable feeling that Pinsir seemed very suitable for this kind of sneaky role.
Pinsir, taking advantage of Lilligant's nap, dug up a lot of vegetables. Not satisfied, it set its sights on the tea leaves not far away. Just as it was about to sneak over, Lilligant suddenly opened its eyes.
Is it really not afraid of death?
Pinsir was startled, its hidden wings even popped out.
Oh my god, what did I do to deserve to be this big villain—
Realizing they were filming, Lilligant quickly closed its eyes. When it opened them again, the coldness in its eyes had disappeared, replaced by a feeling of pity.
"La——Lilli——"
You——You want to do what?
Lilligant asked weakly.
Pinsir seemed to have never experienced Lilligant looking so weak. Its courage instantly grew, and the large horns on its head kept clamping together.
"Heri."
Little sister, you're scared, right? Be good and hand over the good stuff, and by the way, call me 'good brother,' and I'll spare your life.
"It's over—"
The voice was very soft, but Cynthia could tell it was Lucas's voice.
It seems Pinsir said something bad.
Cynthia thought to herself.
"kao!?"
This guy, is it really not afraid of death? Daring to let Lilligant call it 'good brother'?
Garchomp on the side couldn't help but complain.
"Luca——"
Courageous, little Pinsir——
Lucario had already begun to mourn for Pinsir.
Milotic: I hope you can survive an Aura Sphere in the next moment, child.
On the screen, Lilligant still looked weak and helpless, but Cynthia always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Just as Pinsir kept closing in on Lilligant, Gengar, wearing a gardener's hat, descended from the sky.
"Gengar!"
Such audacity, daring to bully a weak Pokémon right under my nose!
Pinsir: Weak? Lilligant? It? I'm bullying it?
Pinsir seemed to remember what it had just done and turned pale with fright.
It's over——
Gengar held a small Shadow Ball in its hand and threw it at Pinsir. Pinsir was sent flying by the hit.
"Heri——"
Ah——Damn Gengar——I've been defeated——
The screen continued. Gengar grinned and reached out to Lilligant.
"Gengar!"
Don't be afraid, I've already taught it a lesson for you.
Lilligant held its hands in front of its chest, its eyes watery.
"Lilli~"
Wow~ You're so amazing, you're so cool~
The sky began to clear. Even though it was afternoon, the sun suddenly became intense.
After hearing Lilligant's praise, Gengar put its hands on its hips and became smug.
"Lilli~"
Thank you, Gengar. You protected me again today~
Lilligant looked like it had fallen in love. Immediately after, the screen flickered, the sunlight returned to normal, and Gengar couldn't help but swallow.
The camera flipped. Pinsir was lying on the ground, charred all over, motionless.
It looks like there was murderous intent.
At this time, Diantha brought Gardevoir into the frame. She looked at the unconscious Pinsir. "You are under arrest."
"..."
After the words fell, Gardevoir used psychic power to lift Pinsir up and handed it to Gothitelle nearby for treatment.
"Just like that, our Gengar the Transformer has once again protected the Breeding House it relies on for survival."
After the narration finished, the screen went black.
"How was it?"
Cynthia asked Garchomp and the others.
"Kao."
Not bad, quite interesting.
Lucario: I prefer the dialogue where Gengar and Lucas argue.
Spiritomb: Me too.
Seeing this, Cynthia thought for a moment, opened her long-unused social media account, copied the video link, and sent it out.
Cynthia: Gengar, so cute~ @Gengar the Transformer"
Half an hour later.
Diantha: Friendly cameo, very happy @Gengar the Transformer"
Another half hour later.
