Chapter five hundred and forty seventh connecting the cave
"GS Ball finally has a clue?"
This was the first reaction in the three people's minds.
As early as in the Orange Islands, Dr. Uchiki, who discovered and salvaged the GS ball, speculated that its origin might be in the Johto area.
Later, after Dr. Oki's research, he also came to the conclusion that it might be related to Hinoki Town in the Johto area.
At this moment, Xiaozhi and the others are already adjacent to Huipi Town. They can see the town after climbing over the valley in front...
It seems that now we really meet someone who knows the goods?
Xiaozhi and the other three hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and asked politely:
"Old lady, do you know this GS ball...?"
As he spoke, he passed the GS ball forward.
However, the old woman looked at it carefully for a while, but did not raise her hand to catch it. There was even a hint of fear between her eyebrows.
"It seems to be a real ball..."
The old woman sighed and signaled to Xiaozhi to put it away properly before continuing.
"This is a legend, but maybe only us old bones know about it now..."
Not all legends are recorded on paper stone tablets. Once the people who passed them on orally passed away, these legends were buried and disappeared.
"I only heard my elders mention it when I was a child. This is a magic ball that seals disaster. Once opened, the devil will come to the world, disasters will continue, and the raging flames will burn everything..."
At that time, there was no such thing as a GS ball. It was just a gold and silver Poke Ball.
"When you were a child..."
Xiaogang touched his chin and thought to himself, this old woman must be at least 70 years old. In other words, GS ball was just a legend 60 years ago?
Counting the appearance of the Poke Ball, which is obviously a modern craft...
And the sealing disaster? What does this mean?
Have any disasters occurred in the Johto area?
Xiaogang was baffled for a moment.
The old woman didn't say anything else. She just happened to see an elf ball with legendary characteristics today, so she interrupted.
"Go find the man named Steel in Jupi Town. Their family has been making a living by artificially crafting Poké Balls for generations. He might know something."
Finally, the old woman gave an answer similar to Dr. Ohki's.
After thinking to no avail, the few people had no choice but to put away the GS balls, pack their luggage in confusion, and plan to continue heading towards Huipi Town.
"Go through the connecting cave in front, and then go around the rocky valley in front, and you will arrive at Huipi Town. However, I suggest that if you take this ball, you should not get close to Huipi Town."
Before parting, the old woman suggested.
It is said that as people age, their sixth sense becomes stronger.
She always felt that if a few people brought the GS ball into Huipi Town, there might really be some big disaster...
"It's okay. If a disaster strikes, just solve it directly!"
Xiaozhi just said confidently.
The mystery on the GS ball is getting heavier and heavier. As curious as he is, how could he give up like this now?
The unknown means having the courage to explore!
The same is true for Xiaoxia and Xiaogang next to them. They are both gossips and full of curiosity. It is obviously an extraordinary elf ball, but they are expected to fight for it?
Then the three of them said goodbye to the old woman and continued heading south...
...
...
The connecting cave is a deep cave located between Platycodon City and Jupi Town.
The cave roads inside are not only branched and intricate, but there is also a vast and huge underground lake at the bottom.
It is said that the lake is connected to the outside ocean. The lake is made up of not only groundwater, but also seawater that penetrates the rock wall.
"But the most talked about thing is that from this connecting cave, on Fridays, that is, in the early hours of Thursday night, there will be a burst of beautiful singing, like the sound of nature, coming from the depths of the cave."
Xiaogang was holding a "Chengdu Area Internet Celebrity Check-in Manual" and introduced it to several people.
"And the singing will only last for half an hour. It is said that everyone who hears the singing will get good luck."
"This singing Pokémon is also called Friday's Pokémon by the locals. Some experts say that it may be a dragon that lives at the bottom of the lake in the deepest part of the cave. However, no one has seen that Pokémon so far.
Kamu’s true face.”
"Ride a dragon...?"
Xiaozhi nodded, somewhat understanding of this conjecture.
Chenglong is a singing Pokémon, and it has its own special skill of singing when it makes a sound. Among the skills that it will master later, there are also many sound-type special skills, and even the last skill is "Song of Destruction".
Don't look at his Chenglong who always sings songs when he opens his mouth, but the normal Chenglong singing is still very nice.
After hearing this, several people also became interested in this Friday Pokémon.
It happens to be 11:30 pm on Thursday, which means that in 3 minutes, it will be singing time on that Friday.
Of course, it's not a coincidence. Several people have heard about this internet celebrity check-in point before, and the time is calculated in advance.
...
Soon, several people arrived at the door of the cave.
"twitter."
"twitter."
What was unexpected was that, even though it was late at night and early in the morning, the gate connecting the cave was crowded with people, forming a long queue. They were all dressed like tourists, chatting happily and making a lot of noise.
They even made this somewhat weird cave look like a vegetable market.
With the advent of smartphones in the past year, even Xiaozhi’s illustrated books have been replaced with full-screen touch versions, which of course has also led to the explosion of other elements.
Internet celebrity check-in is one of them.
In the past few years, Pokémon was only known to locals on this Friday by word of mouth, and not many people came. If you heard more about it, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But since it was put on the Internet, every Friday in the past year, the connection cave has been full of people.
Even the entrance of the cave has been decorated with a lot of lights and themed decorations, it's like it has been transformed into the entrance of a playground, without any wild atmosphere.
"Ah, this feeling is so annoying..."
Xiaozhi and the other three secretly complained.
The scene they imagined was to sit quietly in a corner of the cave, close their eyes and listen to music leisurely, instead of chatting with a bunch of people in a vegetable market.
I hate it, but I still have to listen to the song.
Besides, this road is still the only way to Huipi Town, and you still have to go in.
...
"Three adult tickets."
After the queue was over, Xiaozhi raised three fingers to the conductor.
It’s outrageous. Every Friday, you have to buy a ticket to enter a wild cave!
The old man who was the conductor looked at the three of them, finally focused on Xiaozhi, and said.
"If you are less than 1.5 meters tall, you don't need to buy a ticket."
Then he just ignored Xiaozhi and issued two tickets to Xiaoxia and Xiaogang who were behind.
Xiaozhi: "?"
He felt that he was being ridiculed, and his face suddenly became a little ashamed. Then Xiaozhi jumped on the height board next to him, held his head high and straightened his waist.
"No need to measure, 1.49 meters, next person."
The conductor was an old man with a sophisticated mind, and what he said was exactly what he said on the ruler.
Xiaozhi: "!"
Xiaoxia, who was 1.54 meters tall, stepped forward, smiled and patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder.
"It's okay, Xiaozhi. You're not even 1.5 meters tall, so you're not considered a third-level disabled person."
Xiaogang, who is 1.63 meters tall, also patted Xiaozhi's other shoulder.
"Indeed, you are only 11 years old. If you eat more rice, you will still grow taller."
