At around nine o'clock in the evening, when Eminem returned to the Pokémon Center, he happened to meet Xiaoxia, who had also just returned.
"Eh? You went to the battle club for training?" Xiaoxia looked at Eminem in surprise.
Xiaoxia went to the port to discuss chartering a boat, compare shopping, and bargain, so she just came back now, and Eminem actually came back at the same time?
Does it take so long to find a foster home?
Although Eminem had contacted Misty before, Misty was bargaining at the time, and she only knew that Eminem was having dinner out so that she didn’t have to wait for him—in fact, Misty herself didn’t make it to the Pokémon Center’s buffet time!
"You can't guess what I did in the afternoon." Eminem said mysteriously.
"Huh? Aren't you looking for a place to foster Pipi and Ghoststone? Could it be that... you have encountered an accident?" Xiaoxia has seen this kind of situation more often in Yuanzi recently.
"No, no, no, I happened to meet Xiaozhi at Dr. Sakuragi's place..." Ammu shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he did not follow the "God of Death".
"So you are going to fight?" Xiaoxia was still confused. The fight shouldn't take so long.
"We did play against each other, but mainly because I went to Kubei High School and became the foreign aid trainer for Kubei Football Basketball Club!"
Xiaoxia:???
What is this? After traveling together for more than two months, Xiaoxia didn’t remember that Eminem was interested in football!
Eminem's mouth was dry as he talked all the way, and then he finally understood what had happened on this trip.
Xiaoxia was also speechless about Eminem's behavior of "suddenly" taking a part-time job as a high school basketball team trainer and foreign aid.
"You are really busy..." Xiaoxia was speechless.
"By the way, don't tell Yuanzi and the others about this yet." Eminem reminded.
"Huh? Why?" Xiaoxia asked doubtfully.
Of course because I don’t want them to come to the game!
Otherwise, it would be bad if there was a fatal accident. Even... in such a big scene, it is not impossible for an explosion to occur, but don't cause trouble to the league's high school football basketball team.
"Well... after all, Kubei isn't very strong yet, and I don't know how to command Pokémon to fight against each other!" Eminem gave a casual reason.
When Xiaoxia heard this, she nodded clearly, thinking... Amu didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Yuanzi!
Although on the one hand, I feel a little awkward because Eminem seems to care a lot about Sonoko's opinion, on the other hand, I am also a little happy because Eminem is obviously closer to me... after all, he has not kept any secrets from himself...
"You want to go to the toilet? This elevator is so slow..." Eminem looked at Xiaoxia's expression as if something big was coming, so she pressed the elevator floor button a few more times in a soothing manner.
Xiaoxia:……
"By the way! 'Ghost Stone' has been fostered? Can you... take it back in the next few days?" Xiaoxia suddenly asked with some embarrassment.
"Why?" Eminem looked confused.
At this time, the elevator reached the floor, and Eminem walked directly into Xiaoxia's room without noticing anyone else and continued talking.
"Well... I heard today that someone saw Laplace near Maiden Canyon." Xiaoxia pretended to be serious.
"So?" Eminem obviously didn't understand what the relationship was between the two.
Lapras is indeed a very rare Pokémon. Together with Bagosaurus, it was once included in the special protection list by the Quartz Alliance. There are strict reviews for taming wild Lapras...
It was only in the past two years that the previous protection had achieved results and swarms of Lapras began to appear again, and it was withdrawn from the special protection list.
Lapras is a "water + ice" Pokémon, so it's normal for Xiaoxia to be interested, but...
What's the matter with Gengar?
Since Laplace appears in Maiden Gap, can we just rent a boat and go there?
Never heard of it, Laplace likes Gengar!
"This...how should I put it...Girl's Gorge...hehe..." Xiaoxia looked a little hesitant in talking about him.
Eminem noticed at this time that there was a flyer on her desk, and she vaguely saw a female full-length stone statue painted on it, which seemed to be the flyer for Maiden Gorge!
So Eminem stepped forward and picked it up...
The title of the flyer is "Mystery of Maiden Gorge? [Thousand Years of Waiting] Celebration!"...
When Xiaoxia saw this, she just opened her mouth to stop it, but then she pretended not to see it.
After scanning the promotional content for a few times, Eminem understood the reason for Xiaoxia's strange reaction just now!
Maiden Gorge is not far to the northwest of Kuye City, but just to the northwest after going to the sea.
As a port, it is certainly not as lively as that of Dry Leaf Port, and as a tourist destination it is not as good as Lamplqi, so... the focus is on "legends".
Its symbol is a stone statue in front of a seaside cliff in Maiden Gorge.
Legend has it that this stone statue was here a thousand years ago. At that time, the Kanto area was in the most chaotic war period when even the Ninja Village did not exist...
A young girl's lover left him after he went to war and never returned her.
And this girl has been watching the direction of her lover's expedition at the beach until she turned into a stone statue...
Of course, when this legend is paired with the main picture of the flyer, Eminem feels a strong atmosphere of hype!
A thousand years ago? Still turned into a stone statue?
This stone statue is outside the cliff, on a high platform that is almost as high as the cliff. The girl's stone statue is on this stone platform, looking into the distance... Could this be a stone statue from a thousand years ago?
Has it been eroded by the sea breeze a long time ago? The Hokage Rock in Jinhuang City is maintained and repaired every year...
But these people are really good at making it up, and there are some weird stories written in the back. In short, at this time every year, the soul of the girl will return, so people will hold celebrations at this time, and the local "Shoujo Shrine" will also be on display at this time.
Portrait from a thousand years ago...
"Is this just a gimmick to hold an event? After all, the local tourism resources are not as good as those in Lampur, so we went off the beaten path and created these ghosts and things to attract fans!" Eminem said without any romantic feelings.
"I... think so too, hehehe..." Xiaoxia said with a smile.
You can tell from Xiaoxia's reaction that she doesn't feel that way at all!
In fact, she was afraid of this legend, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to conquer Lapras, so she wanted Eminem to take Gengar with him.
After all, Gengar is a ghost-type Pokémon...
Maybe you can communicate with "ghosts"!
There is a ghost-type Pokémon, which makes you feel safer at this time.
But Eminem also has his own considerations - maybe Dr. Sakuragi has regretted it, and now wants to "return" Gengar and Picoxi, but is too embarrassed to say it!
Hobby
I'd better not contact him first...
"Don't worry! I'll just go with you. The ghost of Maiden's Gap must be...well, it's just hype." Eminem assured her, patting her chest.
However, Eminem suddenly felt that this "ghost of Maiden's Gap" seemed familiar, but he didn't think about it deeply at this time...
