"There is no ghost, so... I must have seen it wrong."
Hinata didn't believe this, but because of this nonsense, she felt that the "Red Gyarados" was not credible either.
"But...why do you say it's a 'ghost'?" Eminem asked in confusion.
"Because some people said it was floating above the head of the red Gyarados, others said it was translucent... In short, it sounded like they were too nervous." Hinata did not accuse them of lying.
Hinata, who often deals with these things, understands that people in panic will always involuntarily make up some things in their minds, or exaggerate what they see in their subsequent descriptions...
This is not a question of character, but of human nature.
However, these incidents basically occurred in the west of the "Lake of Anger", especially in the northwest, so the camping areas in the south were not affected much.
There are even more tourists than in previous years!
When Ammu and others arrived at the camping area in the afternoon, they found that it was still very lively. The heavy rain on the lake did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people in the lakeside camping area.
Fortunately, the garden had reserved a spot in advance...
"Come and squeeze in! It seems like it's impossible to wait for a seat." Yuanzi said to Eminem and others.
Because Eminem didn't want to stay here longer, he naturally didn't book a seat in advance.
But……
To the west of the Lake of Anger, it was raining heavily, and it was getting dark soon, so Ammu and Hinata were in no hurry to continue setting off.
There are no more spots in the camping area!
Although it is not impossible to rest outside the camping area,... firstly, the environment is not comparable, and secondly, dining, bathing, and supplies are more convenient in the camping area.
The space reserved in the garden is quite large and can fit two tents. Hinata can squeeze in with Tomoyo and Sakura.
"As expected of the Lake of Anger, there are indeed endless wonders." After setting up the tent, Ammu also looked towards the "heavy rainstorm on the lake" in the distance.
It rains all year round in the "Lake of Anger", and whenever it rains, it is always a heavy rain, there is no light rain or snow.
At the same time, the scope of each rainfall is generally not large, and it is concentrated on the lake!
For example, from the lakeside, you can see a rain cloud in the distance covering the west, and underneath the rain cloud is a scene of heavy rain.
At this time, the lake level has risen slightly - the camping area is artificially elevated, so there is no fear of the lake overflowing.
"Let's go to the observation deck and watch it together!" Yuanzi actively invited.
"Hmm... there's nothing I can do to help, right?" Eminem asked Tomoyo, who was cooking.
"No, dinner will be served in half an hour." Tomoyo said without looking back.
Seeing this, Sonoko looked at Tomoyo with a little doubt, feeling that the distance between the two people had become very subtle - I couldn't tell whether it was increasing... or shrinking!
When eating before, if Xiao Ai was not there, Tomoyo would often sit in the middle of the trio, with Eminem and Sakura on both sides, but recently... Tomoyo seems to be moving away from Eminem?
At the same time, at certain times, Sonoko will subtly feel that the distance between the two has become closer. For example, when Tomoyo speaks to Eminem, he starts not using honorifics!
But Yuanzi didn’t think much about it, after all, he had already asked Eminem before...
"Sister Yuanzi, I want to go too!" Xiao Ai suddenly said at this time.
It's hard for her to try her best to act like a child, but...it's not as natural as Conan's.
Conan also looked over in confusion at this time. Of course he knew that Xiao Ai was not a child, so how could he... deliberately act like a light bulb?
"Huh? Okay... of course, haha." Of course Yuanzi couldn't say anything.
After hearing that Chishi said he had nothing to do with himself, Amu went to the viewing area by the lake with Xiaoai and Yuanzi.
Eminem can naturally guess why Xiao Ai is pestering him - it involves a "dark organization", so of course Xiao Ai is "cowarded".
At this time, the camping and viewing area has the most people...
Normally, tourists in the camping area will spread out. Many people don't like to crowd in crowded viewing areas, but will find lakeside areas where there are no people around.
However, the "Lake of Anger" is not peaceful now, and it is a time of heavy rain and rising water, so most ordinary tourists have not left the camping area.
Many people brought binoculars and exaggerated cameras - presumably hoping to see and photograph the legendary "Red Gyarados".
Now most people are looking in the direction of the heavy rain, and many people are pointing their telescopes at the sky.
"Are they...looking at the rain clouds?" Yuanzi asked in confusion upon seeing this.
"No, I should be looking for the flying Gyarados." Eminem said.
Today's "Gyarados" are very few that can soar into the clouds and truly fly. Only strong enough "Gyarados" can do that.
It is rarely seen in the wild, but... it is still possible to see it in the "Lake of Anger", the largest Gyarados habitat in the world.
"Gyarados" especially likes to fly on rainy days, which is different from other bird Pokémon, so when it rains heavily, everyone will look up at the rain clouds.
"The Lake of Anger during heavy rains really feels like the ocean..." Yuanzi said with emotion.
At this time, the "Lake of Anger", like the sea, cannot see the edge, and can only see the horizontal line connecting the "sea" and "rain clouds" in the distance through the occasional lightning and thunder.
"Indeed." Eminem nodded at this time.
But only when it rains heavily...
At this time, the lake surface has risen due to rain, so it can be regarded as "endless" - when the water surface is normal, because there are crisscrossing land bridges and trees growing on them, it is equivalent to some small forests on the lake.
It’s not so “endless” anymore.
Now that the water is rising, only a little of the tops of the trees can be seen...
The "Lake of Anger" is indeed the largest lake in the Quartz Alliance, with an endless air cap, quite a bit like an inland sea.
"But it's a pity...it's not the real sea." Eminem said with emotion.
A lake is just a lake, not only is it not that big, but also... it cannot be counted as a sea, which means...
"Huh? Are you worried about Gyarados' mania?" Yuanzi responded quickly this time and heard what Eminem meant very accurately.
That's right, since it's not the sea, then... the [God of the Sea] effect on the [Dragon Scale Talisman] cannot be exerted!
Yuanzi, who was also on board the Sante Annu, naturally understands the meaning of "the sea" to Eminem.
If he wasn't worried that he might be in danger later, Eminem wouldn't be feeling this way.
After feeling Xiao Ai beside him and becoming a little nervous, Eminem said decisively: "No, it's not really worrying... Even if it's not in the sea, it's the same with so many Gyarados."
Indeed, the effect of another [Dragon Ancestor] is enough to make Eminem run rampant here. This is why Eminem is not worried about the "Red Gyarados" or the "Secret Research Institute" at all.
Not to mention other Pokémon, although "Gyarados" is not a dragon type, it is undoubtedly a "dragon".
In "Lake of Anger", Eminem can definitely display the abilities that only the strongest ranger can have!
