Incidents like this are likely to happen wherever you go.
Although Kashiwagi has been developing in this direction recently, it is still far behind Xiaozhi and his friends.
Although Alice has left the team, the buff on her body seems to have not dissipated, so she lost her Pokémon because she failed to avoid the sandstorm, and was trapped in the Phantom Tower again.
The strange thing is.
She can actually talk and stay in touch with the outside world!
"The infrastructure of Team Lava is so terrifying!" Kashiwagi secretly sighed.
According to his understanding, most of the signal base stations in the Hoenn region were laid by the Lava Team. In order to avoid being eaten or destroyed by wild Pokémon, they had to be disguised in various strange appearances.
Alice on the other end of the phone said: "Before I find the exit, I'd like you to take care of the electric flying squirrel, please!"
"No, I'd better find a way to come to you."
Kashiwagi glanced at the location of Alice displayed by Porygon on his phone, and it did not coincide with the previous sandstorm-ravaged area.
Positioning is possible if there is a signal.
Even if Alice is in a different dimension at this moment, the connection point between the different dimension and reality must be at the right place.
"Look for the exit first. I might be able to find the entrance outside."
He said so.
After hearing this, Alice agreed without asking any questions. However, before hanging up, there seemed to be a rather deep roar coming from her side, which turned into some kind of high-pitched roar.
Are there wild Pokémon inside the Phantom Tower in the animated background?
Kashiwagi became more and more interested.
If others were trapped inside, he might really not dare to join in the fun, but Alice will become the United Champion in the future, and unless his involvement will cause changes in her future, there is a high probability that she will be fine.
Not to mention there are lucky scales!
You may not believe anything else, but he has no doubt about the effect of Lucky Scales.
The premise is that there is no sandstorm. Electric Flying Squirrel and Alice have been separated for a while. After the sandstorm stops, there is no guarantee that it will come again.
"Ready to go."
He reminded the Electric Momonga who was lying on the cushion and caressing his round belly, thanked the Happy Egg who was responsible for taking care of the latter and put it back into the Poké Ball.
"Alas!"
As usual, Electric Momonga wanted to go back to the Poké Ball to be lazy when he was full, but after waiting for a long time and no response, he realized that his Poké Ball was still with the trainer, and couldn't help but look at Kashiwagi pitifully.
"I know you can't leave."
He picked it up and put it in the shade outside, and silently began to pack up the tent.
Boss Cordora, who was enjoying the cool weather, turned to look at the Electric Flying Squirrel sitting next to it. He didn't say anything, but it still caused nervous sweat to drip from the latter's head, as if he was attracted by its huge size and ferocious face.
Very frightened.
But the electric flying squirrel soon discovered that Boss Cordora was not as violent as the fat one it was familiar with. Although it looked ferocious in appearance, it was actually quiet and calm, and did not even roar.
Feeling courageous, it tried to get closer to it——
no response.
Come a little closer——
Still no response.
The Electric Flying Squirrel boldly climbed up to Boscodora, but as soon as he climbed a little higher, he saw a pair of light blue eyes staring at him, and he immediately looked away with a guilty conscience.
What surprised it was that even at this point, the latter still didn't attack or threaten it. The electric flying squirrel, completely relieved, climbed onto Boscodora's shoulder.
That's right.
It’s just for this location that it goes to such great lengths!
Even if you are lazy, you have to find a good place to do it.
"Ahem!" Electric Flying Squirrel lay down on its side contentedly, and Boscodora's broad shoulders allowed it to assume various poses.
And when Kashiwagi finished packing the tent, he turned around and saw this guy sleeping soundly at the first glance.
"Eat and sleep...this guy might have something in common with Sun Coral."
He and Boscodora looked at each other, and both of them thought of the slacker in their team, who was even worse than this guy.
But electric flying squirrels probably can't sleep for too long.
because--
"Alas? Alas!"
The electric flying squirrel jumped up suddenly as it felt that its butt was about to be burned. As soon as the sun hit Boscodora, the temperature of Boscodora's body surface rose in a straight line. The former's body of flesh and blood could not compare to the steel and iron bones.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Kashiwagi took it with a smile and stuffed it into the cloak he used to block ultraviolet rays, "Just stay inside."
"Alas..."
The awkward electric flying squirrel is a little depressed, but unfortunately there is no condition for it to choose at the moment.
soon.
The cypress tree that was groping along the way to locate the Porygon stopped on a high slope, overlooking the empty yellow sand in the distance. The Phantom Tower was indeed the Phantom Tower, and there was no bubbling at all.
What are the conditions for the Phantom Tower to appear in the game?
It seems that there is no condition. In the emerald version, it will automatically appear when entering the desert, disappear automatically when leaving the desert, and disappear completely after entering the top floor and taking out the fossils inside.
The Phantom Tower never appears in the anime.
Is it possible that it only appears when there is a sandstorm? If so, it would be simple.
Kashiwagi slowly moved closer to the position, but stopped before he was completely close. He raised his hand and flicked Boscodora, and then he hammered the sand with his claws knowingly.
Bang!
After hearing several roaring sounds, bright blue stone pillars rose up from the ground, spread all the way to the location where they were located, and exploded violently.
Unfortunately, there is still nothing unusual around.
Boscodora sprayed flames over there again, and only after confirming that there was still no problem did Kashiwagi continue to move forward.
He called Alice, but he didn't answer the call, and there was no ringing sound anywhere.
"Sure enough, I still have to try it with Sandstorm."
Kashiwagi hung up the phone and retreated, and called the big steel snake from Huangtie Town who was hard at work in the fields. Since Boscodora didn't know how to fight sandstorms, he could only bother it with a trip.
"Ho~"
The big steel snake came to work without saying a word. The horizontal steel skeleton rotated wildly like the blades of a mixer. The gravel on the ground surged up as if guided by some kind of force. In an instant, it turned into a sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun.
There is a whole space around you.
Electric Flying Squirrel hid under his cloak and peeked out. When he saw a sandstorm, he immediately shrank back and tightened his grip on the corners of his clothes.
Kashiwagi, on the other hand, put on his goggles and stared at the direction guided by his cell phone's positioning.
Suddenly.
Light and shadow are mottled and distorted.
A towering khaki sandstone tower appeared in front of us. Its towering appearance looked extremely majestic and terrifying in the sandstorm, and it was filled with a mysterious and ancient flavor.
Especially when the sandstorm caused the roar of the wind, there seemed to be some kind of piercing scream coming from inside.
Um?
The screams seem to be getting clearer?
Kashiwagi was stunned for a moment, and then saw a black shadow rushing out from the gate of the Phantom Tower at an extremely fast speed.
When it came closer, it was discovered that it was a black-haired girl whose body was shaking off the ground like a flag. She was dragging a blue object protruding from the ground. The blue object was sprinting at an extremely fast speed, causing Black
The girl fell off the ground due to strong winds.
The scream came from that girl.
At the same time, they seemed to be rushing in this direction.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"Tell them to stop."
Kashiwagi took a step back, and Big Steel Snake and Boss Cordora looked at each other to confirm who would do it.
Then the former stopped the rotating horizontal steel frame, and suddenly swung its tail like a whip and sank into the sand with a roar, turning into a copper wall and iron wall blocking the way.
Poof!
An extremely crisp roar.
A small Pokémon that looked like a shark and a dinosaur crawled out of the ground and swung around dizzy. The black-haired girl fell to the ground and reached out to wipe the gravel from her face in disgrace.
"Bah! I told you not to run so fast!"
Alice stood up and complained about the round land shark, while lowering her head and apologizing to Kashiwagi, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
The electric flying squirrel under the cloak heard her voice and jumped out excitedly.
Unfortunately, this guy still couldn't open his wings, and he started to fall to the ground less than a meter away. Fortunately, Kashiwagi stretched out his hand to help him and sent him over.
"Alas!"
The electric flying squirrel was extremely excited to return to its trainer.
"Ah! Electric Momonga!"
Alice hugged it excitedly, "I'm worried to death. Where have you been?"
"Ahem~"
The electric flying squirrel kept rubbing against the trainer's face, and unexpectedly became more coquettish than in the anime. Perhaps it was because he finally reunited with the trainer.
The two comforted each other for a while, and then Alice looked up and saw the cypress tree not far away, as well as the Boscodora and the super giant steel snake.
"Awesome! This is the first time I have seen such a big steel snake!"
She looked up in wonder, and then said, "Sorry, thank you for taking care of the electric flying squirrel for me for so long. It has caused trouble for you."
"It's okay."
The latter nodded slightly, but his eyes fell on the Phantom Tower behind him, which disappeared as the sandstorm gradually stopped, "What did you encounter there?"
"There?"
Alice turned around and saw that the original Tower of Phantom was completely gone, and suddenly screamed, "Ah! My luggage is still in there! My lunch and the food of the round land sharks!"
"Just use a sandstorm to summon it later. This tower will only appear under a sandstorm." Kashiwagi explained.
Alice suddenly realized, "No wonder I couldn't find the door before, but I suddenly found it just now!"
"Well, so what does it look like inside the Tower of Phantoms, and what did you encounter?" He asked again.
Gu——
The first person to answer was Alice's belly.
The two looked at each other, and the future United Champion's face turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he turned his head and laughed in utter embarrassment.
It seems that even though she has been assimilated a lot by Xiaozhi, Alice is not as shameless as him.
"...If you don't mind, let's have a meal together and talk while eating."
Kashiwagi sighed and said.
Alice wanted to shirk it, she was actually not that gullible, but when she remembered that Electric Flying Squirrel was taken care of by the other party, and the other party took the initiative to save her, she chuckled and said: "Thank you, then I will be grateful.
Enjoy."
——
In the shade of huge sand dunes.
Kashiwagi shared the food very generously, and Alice and her Pokémon devoured it.
Unsurprisingly, the Fang who once hid in Alice's hair evolved into Axetooth, and in the future it will become the champion ace Pokémon Dual Axe.
In addition, there is the most irritable dragon in history, the rat-headed land with such a stubborn personality that he refuses to talk to Alice for dozens of episodes... no, the dragon-headed rat, and the round land shark that he conquered in Yanmo City.
No wonder they are chasing desert dragonflies, there are only five Pokémon!
"Your Pokémon won't eat it?"
Alice's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"I've already eaten. After all, it's one o'clock in the afternoon."
Kashiwagi responded: "You haven't told me what exactly you encountered in the Tower of Phantoms."
"What happened..."
When talking about this, Alice's expression became a little strange, "If I said a stone monster carved into the shape of a Pokémon, would you believe it?"
"I believe you are serious."
He nodded flatly.
The animation world is special because there are many extraordinary things, such as the black dumbbell that can turn into a giant Gengar, the clock that can turn into a giant Jigglypuff, the stone elf ball that can subdue giant telepathic puppets, and even the ability to take away other people's bodies.
Evil spirits and more.
Many prosperous ancient civilizations created by screenwriters have also made the animated world full of demons.
Alice was a little surprised by Kashiwagi's response, but she continued, "There are four floors in the tower. Each floor has many mechanisms. If you step on it, you will either fall or a Pokémon statue will appear and attack.
Those stone statues will be restored after being destroyed, which is very troublesome."
"Auto-recovering Pokémon stone statue..."
He thought that the Tower of Phantoms, a special place in the game purely for giving fossils, seemed to have become a special relic of an ancient civilization in the animation.
"But I found two well-preserved fossils on the top floor! I put them in my bag! If you can take them out of the bag later, I'll share one with you!"
Alice said so.
"That's not necessary..."
"I want it! You saved me and Electric Momonga! You should!" Alice was quite decisive in this regard, and asked: "Speaking of which, how did you know my phone number?"
"I learned about your situation through the description of you by Electric Flying Squirrel, and then I asked Awu to tell me."
Kashiwagi didn't mean to hide it, he just omitted the intermediate steps and let the other party come up with their own thoughts to make the logic self-consistent.
Alice was surprised to hear this name, "Brother Awu..."
During her childhood, she usually went to the forest to play with wild Pokémon and rarely had contact with other people in the Dragon Land. Her only friend was Acorus, who was of the same age.
Ah Wu was considered a brother of the same race who had taken care of her, although he was not particularly familiar with her.
"I didn't expect you to meet Brother Awu. By the way, I never asked your name!" Alice belatedly remembered this important matter.
"My name is Kashiwagi."
Kashiwagi said calmly, people in Dragon Country should be familiar with this name, and Awu must have mentioned it in a big way.
But Alice may not know that.
really.
"Kashiwagi-san! Thank you for your hospitality!" There was no other expression on Alice's face, only deep gratitude.
"Just call me Kashiwagi."
"Okay!" Alice nodded, then changed the subject, "I would like to ask, do you have any dragon-type Pokémon?"
