"Eeeeeeeee1"
"You, you, you, are you that...that one?"
As Zeki and Higana were walking home, a woman suddenly "blocked" them, calling out something in surprise. Perhaps it was because the climate in Hoenn was much warmer than other regions.
She was dressed very lightly.
She wore only a strapless top that showed off her beautiful and slender figure, while her lower body was covered by a wide skirt with a flowing hem; her brown skin revealed her healthy vitality; most notably, there were bright red flower decorations on both sides of her head.
"You must be Zeshu-kun!" the woman exclaimed in surprise.
Ze Shu and the woman exchanged glances, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes:
"Sawaki...kun?"
He felt a little uncomfortable when others called him "dear".
What's unusual is that he had never met this woman before.
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself."
"My name is Furu, and I'm currently the Ghost-type Elite Four member of the Hoenn region!"
"I saw you chatting so happily with Daigo just now, and you looked familiar, so I suddenly realized it was you!"
Furong chattered on and on, "That's why I rushed over here to be your friend!"
But what he said left Ze Shu completely bewildered:
How do you know me?
Furong smiled and said, "I got to know you from Senior Kikuko!"
"Pokémon Tower, Pokémon Tower! You remember it, right? It turned the whole Lavender Town into a paradise where ghosts and humans coexisted! How wonderful!"
"After that incident, I even made a special trip to visit Kikuko-senpai to learn from her, since our 'Songjin Volcano' also has similar troubles!"
"But Kikuko-senpai said it wasn't her doing."
"Hehe, after much questioning, Kikuko-senpai finally revealed that it was an investigator who helped her; but she didn't reveal your name, Sawaki-kun, and instead kicked me out. Kikuko-senpai is so heartless."
Furong pretended to be sad for a moment, then said smugly:
"Hmph, but..."
"I noticed the photo of you with those adorable ghost children from Shion Town, Sawaki-kun!"
"That's why I recognized you at a glance!"
"It was you who changed people's stereotypes about Ghost-type Pokémon! Not only in Lavender Town or the Kanto region, but people in other regions have noticed the changes in Lavender Town, and their attitudes towards Ghost Pokémon have changed—don't underestimate my sense of Ghost Pokémon!"
"When I was a child, I trained at Mt. Okami and gained the ability to communicate closely with Ghost Pokémon."
This ability...
Furong seemed to talk a lot.
With this barrage of praise, Ze Shu couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Higana was even more confused.
Because she couldn't understand what Furong was saying.
"Hehehe, I seem to have talked a bit too much." Furong suddenly covered her mouth, her voice muffled as it came through her palm. "When I was training at Mount Songshin, my grandparents often complained about me because I talked too much. But since I left Mount Songshin and started my travels, they've started to miss me."
"Hmm!"
"I've talked too much again!"
Ze Shu laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright, I don't mind. King Furong, you came to see me because you wanted to...?"
"Just call me Hibiscus!" Hibiscus removed her hand from her mouth and said thankfully, "As for what I want to do? I already said—I want to be friends with Zeshu-kun!"
"Sawaki-kun must like Ghost Pokémon! I love making friends with people who like these kinds of kids!"
"I'd like to invite Sawaki-kun to visit our ancestral rites!"
"I want more."
"Let's have a fight with Sawaki-kun!"
"Haha, am I asking for too much?"
Ze Shu blinked and said, "It's alright..."
Furong said, "But not now. It's a promise, a promise!"
Let's exchange contact expressions!
"If you have any free time, Zeki-kun, you must come and send off the gods!"
"That's where I grew up, and that's my home."
"The kids from Mount Kama are definitely no worse than those from Lavender Town. And my grandparents will definitely treat you well when they find out I've made a new friend!"
"Hmm, we're running out of time. See you next time, Sawaki-kun!"
Ze Shu couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he could only nod repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, okay"
Furong was too enthusiastic, and she was indeed a chatterbox.
This left Ze Shu somewhat speechless, both amused and exasperated.
However... Mount Osaka.
Ze Shu seemed to be deep in thought.
It's a place similar to the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town, where dead Pokémon are buried. But most importantly, it's said to be a place where the "Indigo Orb" and the "Crimson Orb" are enshrined.
It's likely that the couple who worshipped these two precious pearls were the grandparents Furong mentioned.
In the special episode, it was the "Hokage," the Lava Team executive whom Sawaki had previously captured, who used his illusion technique to steal the two orbs, causing the couple to hug each other and cry, heartbroken.
Although Sawaki captured the Hokage.
But who knows, the other lava teams might also have this idea...
Thinking of this, Ze Shu saw Fu Rong waving goodbye and was about to give her a reminder.
But suddenly, Higanbana leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Sawaki, Sawaki, I suddenly remembered a secret. There's a treasure enshrined on Mount Sacred that can communicate with and even control Groudon and Kyogre!"
"We can sneak in and take it!"
"I was originally going to tell Team Lava this news..."
Ze Shu: "—"
Good grief, so it was you who told Team Lava!
and..
Why do you want to steal everything?!
You, Higana, really want to become a "phantom thief," don't you?!
Besides, what's with this talk of "control"? I'm afraid we'll end up being controlled by those two "flying creatures" and the "fathead fish"!
After all, human will only lasts for a few decades.
How can they compare to those two things that have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, representing "earth" and "ocean"?
In that brief moment of distraction, Furong had already hurried away, her lively personality making her exceptionally proactive.
Ze Shu could only shake his head and stop talking.
Higana was still muttering, "If I'm going to steal, then I'll have to..."
Ze Shu interrupted her, saying, "Let's go."
Spaceship, deck.
Zeshu and Xijiana walked up and saw Xiaolan sitting on a chair in the central rest area of the deck, with a lazy Espeon lying on her lap, and holding its grooming brush in her hand.
Xiao Lan decisively revealed a "resentful" expression, and "covered her face and wept" as she said:
"Even though it was supposed to be fetching hot spring water, something must have happened that I wasn't involved in!"
"I see many Alliance members near Furnace Town."
"Sawaki, you've left some of your Pokémon on the ship, which is very unsafe."
Ze Shu asked, "Is this out of worry?"
Xiao Lan chuckled and said, "Ze Shu didn't contact me or ask for my help. It must be something you're confident about and that's not too difficult, right? But the investigators are taking action and leaving their little assistant behind. What kind of nonsense is that!"
"And I'm also very interested in what happened!"
Ze Shu decisively raised his hand: "It was my fault."
Higana put her hands on her hips and said, "Xiao Lan, let me tell you, Ze Shu also met a woman who was very interested in making friends with him! He even made a promise with her to visit her house and her grandparents together."
Xiao Lan: "Oh?"
Ze Shu: "—"
"I just thought that way of putting it was funnier!"
Xijiana held a glass of iced water, but looked at the freshly squeezed juice on the table and said with a wronged expression, "I want to drink apple juice too."
Gu Niu Niu can drink it, but she can't; she can only drink plain water.
Ze Shu said, "If you want some, you can ask Psyduck. After all, it's the one taking care of the apple tree."
Holding a round, orange berry, Psyduck was confused when it heard this. It covered its head and let out a confused "quack." Is this something it can decide?
Meeting Higana's pleading gaze.
Psyduck quacked again, lowering its head to look for the Orange Berry that had fallen to the ground with a thud because of its earlier attempt to cover its head. It seemed busy and had no time to deal with Higanbana's plea.
Higana did not get the response she wanted.
"Ugh! How could silly Psyduck refuse me?" she said angrily and aggrievedly. "You, you all hog everything! You're all bullying me! I want a drink too!"
Ze Shu did not respond.
On the table, Sixtails was fiddling with the juicer. He used a cup to catch the juice and then reached into Articuno's frozen nest. Articuno poked its head out, exhaled a breath of cool air, and caused small frosts to form on the apple juice.
Ze Shu took a bite and exclaimed:
"It must be said that Beishang Township truly deserves its reputation as the 'Apple Capital.' The apples from its selected varieties not only taste sweet and delicious, but also have a rich and mellow flavor when juiced, and after being chilled..."
"I'm going for a super!!"
"The 'maturation' properties of the fruit-eating insects give this apple juice a rich and delicious flavor, almost like fermented rice wine. It's not only intoxicating but also unforgettable. If someone never tastes this apple juice in their life, they've only experienced a life of failure and..."
"One super plus one key!!!"
"make a deal."
Bang!
Higana pulled out a sack and fiddled with something inside. She then pulled out a Super Stone and a Key Stone and slammed them onto the table with a "bang," startling the Vulpix, who was focused on fiddling with the juicer.
Unable to contain her curiosity and longing, she picked up the apple juice that Xiao Lan handed her, trying not to laugh, and gulped it down.
But after just one bite, she discovered...
be cheated!
"It doesn't taste nearly as good as you described, Zeshu!!" she exclaimed angrily.
It is indeed very delicious. But it doesn't compare to the unparalleled deliciousness described by Ze Shu, or the idea that you can only live a failed life if you haven't tasted it! It doesn't compare at all!
"I just said it offhand," Ze Shu said, turning his face away and suppressing his laughter. "After all, it's 'GG,' so the more exaggerated the better."
Higana retorted, "Who do you think you can fool with that?!"
Ze Shu said, "I can fool you."
Higanbana: "Ugh!!!"
Xiao Lan covered her mouth and finally couldn't help but giggle.
Ze Shu pursed his lips: "It's not satisfying to bully idiots."
It seems like someone as stupid as Higana was able to swindle all of Higana's sack of Super Stones and Key Stones before the "Meteorite Crisis" was even resolved.
Higana turned her head away: "Hmph! You're bullying an idiot, I'm ignoring you!"
Xiao Lan apologized repeatedly, "Um... as an apology, how about I treat you to dinner, Xijiana? I'll cook it myself. Not your usual desserts, but a proper meal, how about that?"
"Really?!"
Higana paused, her anger fading and replaced by a radiant glow.
She scratched her head, looking embarrassed, and said:
"I'm so sorry, Lan, for making you go through so much trouble."
Lan Ren laughed and said, "No way!"
"If you'd like to eat my food, I'd be... honored!"
"Okay, okay! I, I'll definitely eat it all!" Higana immediately raised her head and said, "Let's not let that annoying guy Zeshu eat it, okay!"
Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Okay."
Ze Shu chimed in, "Okay!!"
"I was so stupid, so incredibly stupid." Higana crouched alone in a corner of the spaceship, her pale lips trembling. "I only knew that Zeki would lie and bully idiots on ordinary days."
"But I never expected that Little Blue would bully an idiot."
"Lan only said she would cook me a big meal herself, but she didn't tell me..."
"The food she made was...it was amazing. I can't even recall the taste anymore. Because if a memory is painful enough, the brain will automatically block it out and forget it."
Higana covered her face and wept.
Because she kept her promise and ate all of Xiao Lan's food!
"These are stomach medicine pills; they should help." Xiao Lan pursed her lips, handed over the pills, and offered a glass of water. "Sorry."
She never expected that Higana would be so fixated on that "promise," insisting on finishing the dishes she had made no matter how much she tried to dissuade her.
Although her "cooking skills" have improved.
Higana wouldn't have thought that taking a bite would have been a big deal.
But she ate it all!
It's undeniable that Xiao Lan was moved by this "idiot".
But to Xiao Lan's surprise, less than 15 minutes after taking the pills,
Higanbana is "fully recovered"!
"Oh ho!"
"So life on a ship isn't so bad after all!"
She stood up, feeling the refreshing breeze from the spaceship, and smiled, her pale lips curving into a cheerful smile. The wind tossed her short hair and made the tattered cloak behind her rustle.
"Oh, right!"
"Where are we headed?" Higana turned to Ze Shu, who was rubbing her breasts, and asked, "You promised you'd help me find Lord Dragon God!"
"Alright, alright," Ze Shu said helplessly.
But he remembered saying, "There's a way to find it, but it's not certain," right? How come now that Higana is saying, it's "we'll definitely find it"?
"On the way to Green Ridge City," he added.
Dr. Solans's "storage room" for meteorites was located in Green Ridge City, the center of the Green Ridge Universe, a very secluded place. That's why he released Solans in the first place, letting him go back and prepare to "welcome" him.
Higana exclaimed in realization, "Oh."
"After you've finished this, you have to help me find the Dragon God, okay?"
Ke Xijiana had just finished giving instructions.
Suddenly, the spaceship's "lookout," holding its beloved telescope, made a "poof" sound and pointed to a certain spot below.
"What's going on...?"
The place that the monster was pointing to was a dense forest, with towering trees that even blocked out the clouds; this was a wilderness area between cities in Hoenn, with not much infrastructure.
But now, suddenly, red smoke is billowing out from there.
This is a smokescreen signal from the league, a kind of plea for help.
The basin is strange; in order to be a good "lookout," it has thoroughly studied the "Basic Rules for Lookouts" and the "Complete Guide to Lookout Signal Identification"!
"Great!" Ze Shu rubbed its rocky skin.
Higana asked, "Should we save them?"
Ze Shu said, "Now that we've seen it, let's try to save them."
