And it didn't want to answer the stupid question Kashiwagi asked it - "Have you seen Jirachi before?"
As long as it has seen it, it will not be able to guess what it is for a long time.
In the final analysis, it just noticed abnormal energy fluctuations and wanted Kashiwagi to go and have a look. The series of things that followed were not what it expected.
Even if it is a rock containing fire stones and fire gems, the idea is to just take it all away if it comes on a whim.
Who knew there would be a fantasy Pokémon stuffed inside.
"Understood."
Kashiwagi saw Thunder Lord turning his head away from him and flicking his tail in an irritated manner, and knew that he had probably stabbed its sore spot unconsciously.
But there is a reason why he asked this.
As one of the legendary Pokémon that was resurrected by the tower owner Ho-oh in the Scorched Tower 150 years ago, he was very curious that Raikou was Raikou before he was resurrected, or was one of the Eevees as others had speculated.
Only.
Kashiwagi once searched the Internet for legends about the Phoenix Guards, and found that the oldest one was the incident of the arrival of the Phoenix King in the Burnt Tower.
But on the other hand.
The three holy beasts of different colors clearly appeared in Phantom Overlord. Even though there is no record of the appearance of the Phoenix Guards with different colors on the Internet, the Crown City and the famous criminal Kotai in the background of the theatrical version do exist.
"Have you been to Crown City?"
he asked.
Lei Gong remained silent, as if he was not in a good mood.
Seeing this, all the speculations in Kashiwagi's mind were wiped away. He casually put down the wishing star and took out a comb to comfort this somewhat respectable big cat.
The latter tried to twist it at first to prevent it from being brushed, but as the former continued to brush, a numbing sensation came to his head, so he "reluctantly" accepted it.
If you listen carefully, you can see that this guy's breathing is a little heavy, as if he can't stand it anymore, and he doesn't know when it will turn into a cat purring.
Maybe it was the same day as when people buried their faces in their hair?
"hey-hey."
Kashiwagi couldn't help but chuckle.
This big cat is a typical type that needs to be brushed with its fur when it is angry. After being coaxed, it can be rubbed against its fur a few times. It looks majestic on the outside, but in fact it is quite sensitive on the inside. It is easy to get angry and does not hide its emotions.
type.
I don't know what the other two's personalities are like.
The Yan Emperor created by the unknown totem is full of majesty and strength. After all, elements of his father are mixed into it, which satisfies Xiao Mei's idea of her father.
Suicune...it's hard to say.
While combing his hair, he chatted with Lysa on the phone, and agreed to hand over the Wishing Star, the Fire Stone, and the Fire Gem so that the latter could study it for a while.
Of course, if the wishing star responded to his words, Kashiwagi might ask Jirachi for his wishes.
And mention the mode of transportation.
Lysa: "You must not send it by mail! This is a wishing star! What if you are attacked by a Pokémon during the mailing process and it is lost?"
Kashiwagi: "That's not true... I heard that the mail loss rate is less than one thousandth..."
Lysa: "The probability of one in a thousand is already very high, okay! Just wait! I'll ask Daigo to come to you!"
Kashiwagi: "Huh?"
Lysa: "Where will you go next?"
Kashiwagi: "There is no need to disturb Daigo-san... Okay, okay, I will go to Akiba Town next. Give me another day and a half at most, and I will definitely get there."
Lysa: "I understand! I will ask Daigo to contact you when the time comes!"
Kashiwagi: "..."
Why do these sisters talk like they can call champions at will, but with Daigo's fanatical love for stones, when he hears a stone carrying a fantasy Pokémon, he will definitely run over no matter how far away it is.
——
The north station of the cable car.
Kashiwagi pushed the huge cart down, speeding along under the curious eyes of the staff and travelers.
The wind blew a corner of the black cloth, revealing rugged rocks.
This made them look back.
There are many people who come to Chimney Mountain to pick up stones. Although those who pick up a large pile of cypress trees are rare, they are not absent.
Baimu, who was walking down the mountain road, stopped the cart in front of a forest, lifted up the black cloth and let Thunder God go free, and threw the unwanted stones aside.
"...It still can't fit, what should I do?"
After he put the Fire Stone into his bag, he found that the remaining Fire Gemstones and Wishing Stars couldn't fit in. His bag had already been filled with all kinds of things, and he couldn't help but look to Thunder God for help.
"..."
The latter silently looked away.
What can it do? It's not like Kentero pulling a cart.
"It seems we have to continue pushing this cart." Kashiwagi reluctantly put the bags and stones on the cart, covered them with black cloth and tied them with ropes to prevent them from falling off.
Since we have to get to Akiye Town or its vicinity before tomorrow, there is no need to go to a place like Dohatuo Farm.
He took Thunder Lord and Galar Sun Coral to find the nearest blaze trail.
this tunnel.
The game connects both ends of Route 112, allowing players to bypass the desert that was inaccessible before obtaining goggles.
But in the animation, it is located at the lowest level of Chimney Mountain, with only two exits and is accessible in all directions. It is mainly used for travelers to quickly travel through and reach the traffic artery of Route 113 in a short time.
However, it must be noted that there are many lava bugs with bad tempers here.
When they move in groups, they are called lava tides, and their extremely high body temperatures cause everything they pass to be scorched black, comparable to some kind of natural disaster.
Trainers often provoke them and are chased madly.
There is no doubt that its skin in the animation is the same as the giant tooth shark with its rough skin and the fire on the flaming horse. It is a magical creature that will not be hurt if it is approved and touched.
So don’t be surprised to see someone petting a lava snail with a body temperature of 10,000 degrees.
Just animation basics.
"Actually, there is no need to scare them. You can see that they don't even dare to come over."
Kashiwagi pushed the trolley, looked at the lava bugs that were shining brightly not far away, and said to the Thunder Lord beside him.
The Ho-Oh Guard is like a hero to the weak wild Pokémon, and they will unconsciously approach it to seek its protection. However, the lava bugs, group-oriented wild Pokémon that have always been wild and habitual, see
Lei Gong has another feeling.
Especially when Thunder God releases his momentum.
[Sense of Oppression] It always maintains an extremely fierce aura. Although it has little effect on Kashiwagi who is particularly familiar with it, it is still quite effective in bullying wild Pokémon.
"……Roar."
Lei Gong glanced at him.
If there was no way to command those lava bugs, they would have to rush over to scare this little devil.
Like to be surrounded? Let me surround you enough!
pity.
When Kashiwagi saw Lei Gong's eyes, he knew that this guy was probably holding back some evil, so he hurriedly pushed the cart forward.
To be honest, this cart is quite easy to use, but the wheels are too small and not suitable for outdoor environments. It can easily break if small stones get stuck in it, so he tries his best to avoid going to places with a lot of gravel.
Fortunately, most of the ground on the Blazing Trail has either been trampled or burned flat, so it is considered friendly to scooters.
With excellent foot strength.
It didn't take long for them to cross the exit of Route 113.
The sun shone on the two of them again, causing Kashiwagi and Raikou, who were fed up with the smell of dust in the tunnel, to subconsciously take a deep breath, and the Galar Sun Coral on their shoulders quickly became relaxed.
However, because volcanic ash often blows in this direction, the air quality on Route 113 is also very worrying, and it is full of natural breath.
The expressions of the three were slightly stiff.
immediately.
"...Work harder! Qiuye Town is right in front of you!"
Kashiwagi was the first to break the silence and said excitedly to the two Pokémon, one large and one small.
Unfortunately, what he faced today was neither the three evil dragons nor the happy eggs, but two completely dull cans. Even if he yelled at them, he wouldn't expect any response, so he was left in the cold as expected.
"keep going!"
Kashiwagi just thought there was a response in his mind and pushed the cart along the path.
Then……
The wheels of the cart were broken.
"It only took a little more than half a day." He looked at the cart that had collapsed to one side and held the removed wheels in his hand.
This thing is cracked right down the middle and there are no replacement parts yet.
It caused him to crack as well.
Seeing this, Lei Gong silently got into the ash-covered grove to prevent himself from being forced to become a moose when someone begged him.
"In that case... please Porygon!"
Kashiwagi thought about it and decided to hand over the arduous task of carrying the stone to the polygon with the ability to transform.
really.
The polygonal beast transformed into a suspended vehicle body by angularization, perfectly carries all the rocks, and uses an electromagnetic levitation system to make it look effortless.
The only question is how long it can last.
Normally, changing the body structure will put a burden on the Pokémon's spirit, just like water Eevee is melted, and Happy Egg is reduced in size. But there are always one or two special cases.
For example, there are Variety Monsters that are born with the ability to transform, and Polygons that are programmed with the power to transform.
"There is really no other way but to call the big steel snake over." Kashiwagi thought, then he thought that maybe it would be okay to use a net bag to hang on the three evil dragons?
It really lives up to that saying, as long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Kashiwagi patted the only remaining part of Porygon's head. Although it would be difficult to increase the trust level of the six hearts, he believed that he would be satisfied soon.
"Pah~"
Porygon responded with a smile.
It is very happy to be able to help its trainer, not to mention it can exercise its transformation ability.
Kashiwagi looked away at the bushes and shouted helplessly: "You can come out now! You don't need to work anymore!"
There was no movement.
It seemed that he was too embarrassed to come out.
This big cat is really...
Kashiwagi shook his head, knowing that it would leave after he left, so he continued to set off.
A few seconds later, the forest roared, as if it was the movement of thunder.
——
And with the unremitting efforts of Kashiwagi and his team.
In the evening after sunset, night gradually falls.
They finally saw the outline of Qiuye Town. The town was shrouded in darkness with dazzling lights, and the bright light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the sky with a special layer of light.
"call……"
Kashiwagi let out a breath, looked at the three evil dragons holding the rock with ropes, and touched the head in the middle, "Thank you for your hard work! Just hold on a little longer!"
After all, the polygon was not able to persist to the end, even if it later used wheels and self-regeneration.
Being too low in level brings about a lack of physical strength and many other aspects. As a result, such a "hard" task has to be handed over to teammates in the end.
"Sigh——"
The three evil dragons in turn rubbed his palms. Not to mention not feeling tired, even if they were so tired that they were gasping for air and didn't want to talk, they would feel a hundred times more energetic when they heard the trainer's voice.
Lei Gong stood on the other side, looking at Qiuye Town in the distance, and suddenly roared.
"Roar~"
"What? You want to go to Meteor Falls now?"
Although Kashiwagi couldn't understand what this guy was talking about, he could roughly guess it, especially since this guy was staring in the direction of the Meteor Falls.
"We haven't even eaten dinner yet! And I also want to go together—heh!"
No words were spoken.
Lei Gong was already running towards the distance.
"Will you come back at night? Can't you find me?" Kashiwagi shouted at the guy's back, and the latter roared, which made him feel relieved a little.
It's not a big deal if you can answer the question.
He found that Thunder God's senses were very keen in all aspects. Not only breath and smell, it could also observe things through the ubiquitous charged particles in the air, so that it could always easily find what it wanted, such as base.
Raki, fire stone and fire gem, etc.
The same is true in other aspects. The Rockets base is probably what it sensed through abnormal currents.
From this perspective, finding him is relatively easy.
"It's too late to stay. I just left like that and I don't know what I'm going to do." Kashiwagi sighed. Perhaps the biggest obstacle between the two of them getting along was that the guy never told him anything.
Even if something is clearly in front of you, you will still respond with silence.
So why did Raikou go to Meteor Falls? Even now, Kashiwagi still doesn't know, and his eyes are all black.
"never mind."
He didn't think about it anymore and found a hotel that rented a single-person cabin with a courtyard. This thing was specially provided to trainers who didn't like to keep Pokémon in Poké Balls, and the price was relatively expensive.
But Kashiwagi now has money in his pocket, so he doesn't miss this little bit.
Not long after I put down my backpack.
He was about to take the Pokémon to the Pokémon Center for a check-up when he received a call from Daigo.
"Daigo-san?"
"Long time no see, Kashiwagi! I heard that you got a rock that seems to be where Jirachi is sleeping?" Daigo's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.
There is also a special whirring sound in the background.
"Yes, I bought it from a liar over at Chimney Hill by chance."
"……fraud?"
"Well, he randomly picked up a bunch of strange rocks and sold them. They said they were gambling stones. That's where I found them." Kashiwagi briefly explained the process.
"I see. No wonder Lysa always says you are a lucky guy."
Daigo on the other end of the phone was quite emotional, "By the way, you should have arrived at Qiuye Town, right? Can you tell me where you are?"
Kashiwagi was about to respond when he caught sight of a shining silver light in the sky from the corner of his eye, "I'm...ah, I seem to see you, the happy egg shines with magic!"
"Happy~"
The whole body of the happy egg emits extremely shining colorful light, piercing out all around like long needles.
The three evil dragons next to them had frightened faces. They quickly fled from a place where they would not be attacked and hid in a corner. How terrifying the four times weaker goblin is? It had experienced it as early as the single-headed dragon period.
.
Don't pretend you didn't see anything.
"I saw."
Dawu's gentle voice came over the phone, and then the phone was hung up. The silver light in the sky became brighter and brighter, and continued to amplify.
finally.
Daigo appeared with his body slightly bent on the head of Metagross. The strong wind was blowing the corners of his clothes. I don't know if it was because it was colder at high altitude, but his face was a little red.
"Long time no see! Kashiwagi!"
Dawu jumped down, his hair a little messy but it quickly returned to its original state, "I didn't expect to see you again so soon after we said goodbye."
"Me too."
Kashiwagi knew the purpose of the champion's visit very well, and did not whet his appetite. He turned around and asked Big Mouth Baby to take out the wishing star, "Miss Lesa said this is the sleeping wishing star, but I can't be sure. Take a look.
?”
"Okay, let me take a look then?"
Dawu had an uncertain tone, but in fact he had already arrived in front of the wishing star. He took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, put them on, and began to rub the surface of the wishing star carefully.
The excited blush on his face did not fade away at all, but intensified as he observed the wishing star.
The cypress behind him was secretly speechless.
Although I knew early on how much Dawu liked Shitou, the look of him being ready to marry Shitou at any time was still a bit beyond my expectation.
It sounds like that too.
Being able to chase him all the way to Qiuye Town, Daigo must have some extreme expectations. Against this fanaticism, it is not surprising that he behaves like this.
Since you touch my stone...
Then I'll have to touch your Pokémon.
Kashiwagi turned around and looked at the Metagross, which looked like a four-clawed crab. It had a bright silver appearance, a golden "X" on its face, and a huge body.
Every aspect is filled with the word handsome.
"Hello, do you still remember me?"
He waved at Metagross, expecting this guy to be very cold, but after recognizing his appearance, the latter immediately raised his right front paw.
"No!"
Metagross's red eyes curved into crescents. Apparently it remembered that it had been fed by Cypress when it was in Huangtie Town.
It’s that young man who cooks delicious food!
Kashiwagi also smiled, "It's great that you still remember me. Are you hungry? Do you want me to give you something to eat?"
"No!"
Metagross glanced at his trainer and nodded vigorously when he saw that Dawu was still obsessed with the wishing star.
The trainer doesn't care, and it can't find any food on its own.
Turn around.
A bowl of fragrant Pokémon food was placed in front of Metagross. It picked up a bit with its claws and stuffed it into its mouth, and its eyes immediately lit up.
Delicious!
As the champion Pokémon and Daigo's trusted partner, Metagross has eaten quite a lot of good things.
But no matter how much he eats, enough delicious food will still make him move.
Delicious food will never taste bad just because you eat too much of it.
Dawu, who was studying the wishing star, suddenly started to growl in his stomach, which made him subconsciously turn his head to look at Metagross. He saw that his face was as happy as a crab, and he kept grabbing food with his front paws and stuffing it into his mouth, with a slight expression on his face.
A bit embarrassing.
"Uh...well..."
"If you don't mind, Daigo-san, I still have a lot of food here. You can take care of two bites first." Kashiwagi was very considerate and offered the rest of the dinner.
Dawu glanced at him, then at the dinner, and his thoughts suddenly returned to that time in Huang Tiezhen.
"Then I'd rather...be respectful than obey."
Although the wishing star is good, you can also eat it while looking at it.
