Chapter 1303 Ponkan Past
A leisurely afternoon.
Miss Xicui Qun'er aspires to become a magical dancer.
cough cough.
In short, Miss Skirt, determined to become an apprentice, is preparing to leave the stage battlefield and follow in the footsteps of Big Mouth Baby.
Huo Xia and Gang Shi felt a chill run down their spines.
"Kashiwa! This won't do!"
In private, Kongshi discussed with Kashiwagi, "The 'Queen's' duty is to protect the stability of the area. What if wild Pokémon start causing chaos if she leaves?"
The wild Pokémon in the past were more ferocious than those of later generations. They frequently fought for territory and caused rampant disturbances. In the early years, there were even instances of leader Pokémon attacking human settlements.
It was the presence of the "Queen" that allowed the locals to live in peace and prosperity, with only a few minor conflicts occurring.
If Kashiwagi takes Miss Skirt away, what will become of the nearby King Kong settlement?
To put it more seriously, they may face annihilation!
It's harvest season now!
Huo Xia seemed even more anxious than Gang Shi, pleading with Miss Qun'er to reconsider, "I...I! It's all my fault! I can't dance! But I'll learn seriously! Can you please not leave?"
She gazed longingly at Miss Skirt.
Miss Skirt felt a pang of pity for her pitiful appearance, but when she looked back at Big Mouth Baby and thought of its extraordinary dancing skills, she hardened her heart and shook off Fire Summer's hand.
"Deli!"
"Don't go~"
Huo Xia knelt on the ground, stretching out his right hand in vain.
He looks exactly like an incompetent husband who has been abandoned by his wife.
Kashiwagi and Mouthball: "..."
He said helplessly, "Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't agree to it."
"Tsk-tsk~"
Mawile nodded slightly. It had little interest in teaching other Pokémon dance moves unless the trainer insisted.
Miss Skirt was stunned, "Deli..."
Huo Xia and Gang Shi were overjoyed, "That's wonderful!"
"Yes—uh."
“Deli”
Faced with Miss Skirt's unfriendly gaze, the two instinctively turned their heads away. "What I mean is, this matter needs to be considered carefully."
"That's right, that's right."
The two sang in unison, but Miss Skirt had no time to pay attention, eagerly pleading with Big Mouth and offering him a green stone slab with both hands.
Worried that it might turn on him later, Kashiwagi immediately took the bag and handed it to Talebagos.
All of a sudden.
The dazzling light illuminated the stage and the battlefield.
This was the fourth time that Bai Mu had seen the stone slab peel away its outer shell to reveal its true nature, and he was no longer amazed by it.
But for Huo Xia and Gang Shi, the scene before them was a complete shock to their minds, especially for the latter.
What he saw that night still lingers in his mind, even appearing in his dreams, becoming his recent nightmares in an extremely bizarre way.
Is Sinnoh Grandmaster really not Dialga?
The scene of Qianzhou collecting the stone tablet added to the doubts, making Gangshi feel annoyed.
Dialga is the core belief of Team Kongo, and for hundreds of years, generations of Team Kongo have firmly believed in it.
Including diamond.
He had absolutely no idea how to convince his people of this.
Who knows, if he says it out loud, he might lose his position as team leader?
Gangshi watched with a puzzled expression as Kashiwagi put away the Thousand-Bound Arm, while Kaoru stammered beside him, "W-what was that just now?"
“As I said, the Sinnoh Grand Master gave me the mission of retrieving the stone tablets.”
When Kashiwa got the fifth stone tablet, he was in a very good mood and said to Miss Skirt, "Teaching you to dance is not impossible, but just follow along."
"Deli~"
Miss Skirt ignored the second half of the sentence and excitedly spun around in place.
Mawile glanced sideways at the trainer, "Tch?"
Don't you even ask for its opinion?
Who exactly taught them?
"I'll teach you."
Kashiwagi said calmly.
Miss Skirt's spinning motion came to an abrupt halt, and Huo Xia and Gang Shi's attention shifted away from the stone slab.
"You teach dancing?"
"I'll teach you."
He nodded and repeated it.
Mouthball wasn't born knowing how to dance.
In particular, the "Battle Dance" that he studied later was originally based on the dancer that Kashiwagi simulated, and it was improved step by step to achieve the result it is today.
He wouldn't be able to stay in the Red Lotus Wetlands for more than a few days, so he just handed over the dancer's "Battle Dance" to Miss Skirt.
"Tch..."
With less trouble, Mawile wasn't very happy.
Because its trainer hadn't danced with it for a long time, it now volunteered to dance in order to teach Miss Skirt?
Miss Skirt looked at Cypress Wood, then at Big Mouth Baby, "Dripping..."
"Whether you learn it or not, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Kashiwagi spoke frankly.
Miss Skirt nodded quickly; she really wanted to learn.
The two sides reached an agreement on this matter.
Huo Xia finally realized what was happening and grabbed Bai Mu, expressing that she also wanted to learn.
"You're learning to dance? Don't you like hairdressing?"
Gangshi knows his subordinates very well.
Huo Xia said shyly, "It's always good to have more skills."
Her main concern was that Bai Mu would abduct Miss Qun'er, so she simply used learning to dance as an excuse to follow him.
Cypress wood is perfectly acceptable.
Teaching one person is teaching, and teaching two people is also teaching.
-
I intended to continue searching for another "king" of the Red Lotus Wetlands—the Moon Bear.
But when everyone descended the mountain, they realized that the sky was already turning yellow.
Gangshi invited Baimu to stay overnight at the Gangshi settlement.
"The Pearl Team manager, who is in charge of protecting the other 'King,' is an old woman. Even if you rush over now, she'll probably already be resting."
"Ok."
Kashiwagi had no choice but to accept the offer.
While it would be convenient to bypass the field manager and ask the "King" for the stone slab directly, it might arouse the suspicion of the other field managers in the Pearl Team.
Upon hearing this, Huo Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She met the manager of the Pearl team once, but he seemed very dissatisfied with the King Kong team, and she couldn't say a word to him.
Huo Xia usually keeps his distance from such difficult people.
Vajra settlement.
This is the core facility of the Kongo Squad, where most of the members live, making it extremely lively.
The architectural style is quite primitive, mostly presenting a strange conical shape, standing on the ground like a tent, with a hard blackish-blue exterior.
The approach of the giant Steelix naturally caused a commotion. By the time it got close, many young men were already armed and accompanied by Pokémon, ready to launch an attack.
When Gangshi, Miss Skirt, and Huoxia came into view, the former shouted loudly.
"Don't be nervous! It's me back! Put down your weapons!"
"Team leader?"
The people of the Vajra settlement stared at each other in astonishment, and the children who had been hiding in the shadows began to peek out.
Someone asked loudly, "Team leader, is this your newly tamed Pokémon?"
Someone asked, "Huo Xia! Why did you bring the 'Queen' back? What happened?"
With the arrival of Team Galactic, the term Pokémon gradually became deeply ingrained in everyone's minds, and many ancient names were abandoned as a result.
"No!"
Gangstone shook his head, and the giant Steel Serpent slowly landed.
The members of the Kongo Village immediately noticed Kashiwagi standing in the center, surrounded by several Pokémon.
An old man who had rushed over noticed the strange creature beside the cypress tree and looked puzzled, as if he had remembered something he was about to forget.
"Team leader, is this a friend of Team Galaxy?"
The leader among the young and middle-aged men asked.
Gangshi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sort of... Amang, do you remember what I said a few days ago?"
"matter?"
Amang was initially puzzled, then realized something and exclaimed in sudden realization, "He is—"
"Yes."
Gangshi nodded quickly.
Kashiwagi looked at the man talking to Goshi and guessed his identity from his hair color, skin color and clothing.
—Amang, the manager of the Blue Coast, is in charge of taking care of the "King" Darktail Gyrocopter, who is suspected to be the ancestor of the Unova Blue Sea Wave Gym Leader, Nishiko.
"Hello, my name is Kashiwagi."
He extended a friendly greeting.
Upon hearing this, Amang quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Hello, hello! I am Amang, the manager of the Qinghai Coast farm!"
Then Amang realized something, glanced at Miss Skirt who was looking around, and lowered his voice to Gangshi, saying, "Miss Skirt's stone tablet has been given."
Gangshi nodded. "Mm."
"..."
Amang's expression was complicated.
It should be noted that Gangshi's decision to deliver the stone slabs was rejected for the first time.
Another farm manager, Mu Chun, rejected the idea on the spot and returned to his post overnight. He has not visited the settlement since.
Gangshi said, "Armand, you may disagree with what I'm saying, but we are only responsible for taking care of the 'King' and the 'Queen.' Whether or not the stone tablets are handed over is up to them, not us."
For over a century, the Kongo Squad and "King" have maintained a good relationship, sometimes even influencing each other's will, leading many to consider "King" as one of their own.
Gangshi originally thought so too, until a series of recent events made him realize that the Kongo Team might have been deceiving themselves for a very long time.
"I see."
Amang responded.
He actually supported Gangshi unconditionally, but he didn't want Gangshi and Muchun to have too much of a falling out, so he wanted to stand neutral and act as a peacemaker.
But now that the person in question has come knocking, there's nothing we can do.
“I’ll try to persuade Mu Chun again,” Amang said softly. “You know he has always admired you.”
Gangshi remained noncommittal.
at the same time.
Huo Xia excitedly introduced the King Kong settlement to Miss Qun'er and Bai Mu.
Although the battlefield was very close to the settlement, Huo Xia had never seen Miss Qun'er come down the mountain since he was a child.
She never imagined that Miss Skirt would come down the mountain one day to learn to dance!
This is truly magical!
But none of this stopped her from being happy.
As Bai Mu surveyed the environment of the King Kong settlement, he turned to ask E Guipeng, "Do you have any memories of this place?"
"Boni-oh..."
Egui Peng stared at the cone-shaped houses, feeling both familiar and strange.
Huo Xia asked curiously, "Have you been here before?"
"It may have been here before."
Kashiwa stroked Egui Pong's head. "It was probably several decades or even a hundred years ago."
Huo Xia's smile froze on her face. "A hundred years ago?"
This is a bit beyond a girl's comprehension.
"Yes, its name is Egui Peng. It left Xicui a long time ago to escape the war. I want to take it to find its homeland. It should be nearby."
Cypress spoke gently.
The young lady in the skirt beside him tilted her head strangely when she heard what he said, "What?"
Pokémon that used to live nearby?
But it doesn't recognize it at all!
Miss Skirt looked at Ergui Pon carefully for a moment, then told the shy little Ponkan to hide behind the cypress tree.
"Speaking of which, Egui Peng should know Miss Qun'er, right?"
"Polygon II said."
Kashiwagi replied, "The Miss Skirt it knows may not be the Miss Skirt of this generation. Even if Grass-type Pokémon are long-lived, they may not just happen to be from the era of Urquidone."
Who knows, the previous Miss Qun'er might have died of old age while Egui Peng was away, and a new Miss Qun'er might have been born at that time?
Polygonal II thought what he said made a lot of sense.
"I'll go ask for you!"
Huo Xia volunteered, "Consider it a way of repaying Miss Qun'er for learning to dance!"
Kashiwagi: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
Those who fought in the war back then are probably unlikely to be alive today, but they might have relevant historical records.
Huo Xia ran off excitedly.
Miss Skirt suddenly spoke up, "Deli~"
"It says that the 'King' in the south has lived for a long time and might know about the Egui Pong."
The phone was simultaneously translating and asking Miss Skirt how long the other person had been alive.
Unfortunately, it only received the answer that the other party was even twice the size of its mother.
The exact time is unknown.
How could Pokémon know how humans keep time?
"But what kind of Pokémon is it that can live for so long!" Multi-Phone was quite curious.
Are moon bears very resilient?
Kashiwagi wasn't quite sure, but lifespans in the Pokémon world are often quite mysterious, like the Nine-Tails in the original series that lived for hundreds of years.
All he knew was that a higher energy level meant a longer lifespan.
Unexpectedly, Huo Xia quickly managed to get some information out of him.
In the home of an old man in the Kongo settlement, Kashiwagi saw a painting depicting Egui Pon dancing with many other people.
"This is a relic left by my ancestor. He was a famous painter in the village and often went out to seek inspiration."
The old man carefully smoothed out the creases in the scroll.
Kashiwagi asked softly, "Do you know where that place in the painting is?"
"I don't know."
The old man shook his head. "But it shouldn't be too far from the settlement. Back then, the settlement and the Pearl Team were enemies, and it was common for them to kill members of each other's forces..."
As Kashiwa listened intently, he suddenly noticed a faint sob. Looking down, he saw that Egui Peng was unconsciously shedding tears.
It stared blankly at the painting, as if recalling the past buried deep in its memory.
Kashiwagi remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "Excuse my intrusion, but may I ask if you would be willing to part with this piece of my treasure... This scene records matters concerning my companion's past, and I am willing to offer gold and silver in exchange!"
"This……"
The old man hesitated, "An ancestral possession—"
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of golden light rushed into his eyes.
It was a Shiny Gengar holding a large piece of gold, seemingly ready to let him take it.
Even during the era of the Xicui settlement, gold was still highly valuable. Moreover, with the establishment of a market through trade with the Galaxy team in the past two years, there are many places to spend money.
The old man ultimately couldn't resist the lure of gold and sold the painting.
Bai Mu handed it to Ergui Peng and gently stroked its head. "Don't be sad. There are three deaths in a person: one is when the heart stops beating, one is at the funeral, and the last is when they are forgotten."
"As long as you don't forget them, they will live forever in your heart."
"Boni-oh..."
With tears welling in her eyes, Egui Peng nodded gently.
