It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 370 Cangyan Blade Ghost's lonely back...

That afternoon, although Luling City was still in the stage of post-disaster reconstruction, in order to express their gratitude to Hoshino and the others for stopping Gulardo, Xiaofeng and Xiaonan accepted their challenge despite their busy schedules.

Since the gymnasium collapsed in the earthquake, they could only temporarily fight in the designated area outside, so many people came here to watch the battle to relieve everyone's heavy atmosphere.

Among the onlookers, the strong ones are not in the minority. They have already regarded Hoshino as a strong enemy in next year's World Championships. If they have such a good opportunity to study their opponents, they will naturally not miss it...

Xiaofeng and Xiaonan are rare gym trainers who require doubles, and they are challengers alone. If they don't have some experience in doubles, they can easily be played by them.

But for Hoshino, this kind of doubles wasn't difficult at all. Machado and Sai Fuhao cooperated and killed them directly. They didn't even give the opponent a chance to touch them. What they played was a hard power speedrunner.

But Lillie is different, her team has too many Pokémon that can play support, relying on pure tactics to play gorgeous cooperation, and finally won the badge without losing a single Pokémon!

The soul badges are the 13th badges of the two, and with the last 3 left, they all have the qualifications to participate in next year's World Championships.

The two battles ended quickly, but they were also very exciting. Laymen watched the excitement, and experts watched the way. Many trainers have already recorded Hoshino's battle, and they are going to take it home to study...

After that, there was no need for the two of them to stay in the Hoenn area, and they themselves took a few days off. It is impossible for the Wanshiwu to be closed, and there is still work to be done on the establishment of the Alola Alliance.

After saying goodbye, they returned to the Temple of the Sea, and Manafei was going to send them back to Alola, and stopped by the Master House, which was very interested in Kabukicho.

Originally, Hoshino wanted to refuse, because the Temple of the Sea drifted too slowly, but he really couldn't stand Lilia's request to take such a "undersea sightseeing train" together...

In this way, after three days, they finally arrived at Melomele Sea. There are many tourists on the sea, riding the waves under the scorching sun, experiencing the joy of surfing with giant fin flying fish.

Alola is still quiet and peaceful, and now it has become a tourist attraction. Even Poni Island, which few tourists would go to in the past, now some people will explore and take risks.

All of this is due to Hoshino's contribution, even those wandering Pokémon living in the towns of Alola will proudly puff out their chests when they hear his name!

At this moment, Hoshino had already returned to the homeless neighborhood on Millerton. He didn't sigh until he stopped in front of the izakaya: "I'm finally back. It really is the most comfortable place here..."

"It's coming back? It's pretty fast."

The Dumb King suddenly opened the door and came out. After seeing Nai Jiang, who looked very good, he picked up a lollipop and nodded slightly: "It seems that the matter has been resolved, and it has to be you."

"of course?"

Hoshino walked down, and Mana Fei, who was being held in Lillie's arms, seemed to smell something, and suddenly flew out, flying towards the izakaya.

After a while, there was the sound of something breaking inside, and the Cangyan Saber Ghost in a maid outfit came out with a broom in one hand and a drunk Manafei in the other.

Looking at this scene, King Daidai shook his head: "This drink is not enough, but the new brewed wine with those seasonings is really delicious."

"I still want to drink..."

Manafei was so drunk that he was still muttering about something. Lilia grabbed it angrily, and said in a stern tone: "Who told you to touch those things, children can't drink!"

"A child over 100 years old, right..."

Hoshino couldn't hold back his complaints, but then King Daidai looked over and said slowly, "All the money for the wine and the broken glass will be credited to you."

"..."

Watching their interaction, Nai Jiang couldn't hold back a chuckle, and then said: "The Smile Restaurant will not open until tomorrow. Come to my place for dinner tonight. I'll go to the commercial street to buy some ingredients later."

"no problem!"

"Then I'll get ready first, Boss, you guys are coming too."

"Going to eat... okay, okay."

It doesn't matter to Daidaiwang, the big deal is to postpone the opening for a few hours, and then you can call some more friends over to make it lively.

Seeing that Boss Boss agreed, Nai-chan nodded slightly, took one last look at Cang Yan Saber Ghost, smiled slightly at the other party, reminded him to come, and left.

When Nai-chan left, Daidaiwang put his hands behind his back and said softly: "After the knot was untied, Nai-chan has also changed a lot. It's thanks to you that you can do it."

"After all, we are the house of everything, there is nothing we can't do!"

Hoshino responded with a smile, then greeted him, and went back upstairs. Manafei was drunk, and Lillie had to help him sober up.

At this time, the long-tailed Firefox, who was working to catch fish, poked his head out from the izakaya, avoided the dull boss's sight and followed quietly, preparing to go to Zoroark.

King Daidai pretended not to see anything, then shook his head slightly, and found that Cangyan Saber Ghost was standing aside with a broomstick, wondering what he was thinking.

But the King of Dumb saw its thoughts, and walked towards the izakaya, but the moment he passed by the other party, he said slowly: "If you have anything to do, go to Wanshiwu for help, how many days off do you want?" No problem, these guys are capable now, even if the sun and the moon are taken off, I will believe it."

After that, it walked into the house and continued to make its own newly brewed seasoning wine.

Cangyan Saber Ghost still stood at the same spot without moving half a step, as if he was considering what the other party said just now, but he didn't make up his mind.

After all, the truth of some things has long been buried in the long river of history, leaving only the soul and memory, left in the world with incomprehension and hatred...

At night, Kabukicho wakes up from a deep sleep and starts a new day. The Smile Restaurant here is obviously not open today, but there are many Pokémon coming and going, so it is very lively.

Nai-chan didn't expect that she just wanted them to call more friends over, but in the end so many came, almost half of the street came over.

After all, it usually helps its neighbors a lot, and its relationship is very good. Naturally, it will come to join in the fun when there is a banquet, but it will not disturb the normal progress of the banquet, and it will leave after walking around.

Pippi was also brought here, let them play for a while, not afraid that they would run away.

Manafei ran around at the banquet. It liked this lively place very much. Because it had lived in the Sea Temple in the deep sea for a long time, it didn't know the existence of Kabukicho at all. This time it was an eye-opener.

"No drinking!"

Lillie didn't forget to remind the other party, but the reminder was useless. After a while, Mana Fei fell down drunk, holding a green ooze monster that was also drunk, and the two collided.

"so tired……"

"It's fine, it's fine, they just have fun, and you don't have to worry about it, why don't you look at the long-tailed Firefox over there chasing Zoroark... It seems to have failed again, looking at me and worrying about it."

"Indeed, what about Frost Milk Fairy? Just now I seemed to see it eating biscuits on the table over there, why did it suddenly disappear..."

"It seems to be eaten by Gullerton as a cake."

"... Let it spit it out!"

There is no sense of disobedience for Hoshino and Lillie to be mixed into these Pokémon. They have long been regarded as members of Kabukicho by everyone.

Cang Yan Blade Ghost stood quietly in the corner. Although he knew everyone well, his aloof temperament would always scare away those Pokémon who approached him, so he could only serve as a waiter to help serve tea and wine.

Therefore, it doesn't like to participate in this kind of banquet very much, and it is very embarrassing to not be able to integrate into the lively atmosphere, even if it doesn't care about it.

Just at this moment, Geng Gui, holding a piece of cake, suddenly came to it and handed it out.

"Gengar~"

"soul..."

Cang Yan Saber Ghost took the cake. It has a very good relationship with Geng Ghost. The other party's warm personality is too restrained for its aloofness, and it can't be driven away.

And when it helped Geng Gui control his spiritual power and completely transformed from a doll to a Pokémon, it was the one who helped Geng Gui. Although it was just a small effort, Geng Gui remembered this kindness.

"Gengar~"

"soul..."

The two Pokémon started talking. Geng Gui wanted Cang Yan Saber Ghost to join the banquet, but he was rejected because he always felt that there was a certain gap between himself and these Pokémon.

It lives in Kabukicho and seldom goes out, just to avoid hurting people on the spur of the moment. As for working in an izakaya, it is also to repay the kindness of the dull boss for taking it in. Over the years, I have gotten used to the life here, so it is very good of.

"Gengar?"

"soul..."

Cang Yan Saber Ghost shook his head, maybe it can ask Geng Gui to ask Hoshino for help now, but this is not in line with its character.

It doesn't want to accept human help, and it doesn't know what it should do. The truth it wants to know has long been buried in history...

So it ate the cake, said goodbye to Geng Gui, then left the smiling restaurant and went back to the izakaya. It's good to be alone.

"Gengar..."

Geng Gui bit his little hand and saw that Cang Yan Saber Ghost seemed to have something on his mind, but the back of the other party leaving alone still touched it a little.

It's just that if the other party doesn't say anything, it doesn't know what to do, so after thinking about it carefully, it flies directly to Hoshino to tell the matter.

"Huh? Cangyan Blade Ghost..."

Hoshino was a little surprised. After standing up and looking around, he did not see the other party. Then he pondered for a moment and nodded: "I understand, but don't worry too much. I'll go to Boss Dai and ask."

"Gengar~"

After talking to Li Liai, Hoshino took Geng Gui to find the Silly King who was chatting with Octopus Barrel and the others.

But after learning about the purpose of coming, King Daidai said that he was not too clear about it, and then said: "Let it tell you by itself, I don't know too much about its past, I just have some guesses, after all, I can't Go ahead and ask about that."

"really……"

Although Boss Boss likes to be a riddler, he also likes to talk nonsense, pretends to understand, and says he knows everything, but he will never ask you about your privacy unless you tell him.

Cangyan Saber Ghost is one of the Pokémon that Hoshino cares most about. He even wanted to tame one in his dream, but he always gave up because of various problems.

And now, he doesn't have much intention to tame Pokémon anymore. As a Pokémon, he has too many friends, unless the other party takes the initiative to send it to his door, otherwise he will not take the initiative to propose it.

As for the Cang Yan Blade Ghost of Boss Boss, Hoshino was also the guy he was most afraid of at the time. On the day he came to Kabukicho, he was almost killed by the other party. In addition, he broke into the room at every turn to force the rent. It is true that he was a little psychological. shadowed.

But various things later changed his view of Cang Yan Saber Ghost. The other party rescued him at the most critical moment many times, and would remind him when he got carried away... You can also feel the change in the attitude of the other party.

Thinking of this, Hoshino sighed softly, and then said to King Daidai: "I don't even know how many lives I owe it, if it really has any troubles like Nai-chan that are difficult to deal with, let it come to us, Wanshiwu will definitely help it solve it perfectly!"

"I'll help you convey it, so while you're playing, kid, don't come here and disturb us for a drink."

"..."

Hoshino hugged Geng Gui and left cursing, but Duduwang suddenly calmed down, put down his wine glass, looked at the direction they left, and said softly: "Come on, but it's not easy to let Cang Yan Blade Ghost open his heart." An easy thing."

"I really didn't expect that the kid who used to rely on credit to survive even eating, now brought Wanshiwu to this stage..."

"It's just these changes in Kabukicho. Maybe the Four Heavenly Kings have already noticed it... After all, the rules here don't allow humans to come in, let alone live in it. The existence of the Master House is already a violation..."

……

The banquet, which was expected to last for a few hours, lasted until the next morning and finally ended. The Pokémon who had enjoyed themselves left the homeless neighborhood after Kabukicho closed.

Lilia was so sleepy that she hugged Manafei and fell asleep on the bed without taking a shower or changing her clothes after returning to the master house.

The Pokémon are the same. They go to bed right away when they get home. After all, it’s been a long time since they played like this all night, even during Chinese New Year.

Hoshino tidied up a little bit, and he will go to the Aether Foundation later to send these Pippis to Lusamine to help with research, although he hasn't told the other party about this matter yet.

"I'm really sleepy, let's get down to business first."

He shook his head, then packed up those Pippis who were tired and fell asleep, and went out with Millerton, who was still full of energy, to the port area.

Just now, he received a message from Lila again. The other party has already helped to tell Alice about the matter. Naturally, this lively and lovely champion will not refuse this kind of thing. He just looks forward to meeting Hoshino at the championship next year. , and play a game.

In other words, the champions representing the eight regional leagues in the current Pokémon League Association have all expressed their support for the Alola League joining the association, and this matter has finally come true.

However, Hoshino was not too excited. Although the matter of joining the association has been settled, how to make the Alola Alliance gain a foothold is not something he can solve alone.

Instead, all the trainers in the Alola region need to work together to find a way to support the alliance. After all, all the trainers in a region are the foundation of the regional alliance.

But he didn't tell Mizuki and Hara about this right away, but he wanted to wait for other tasks to be done before announcing...

After a while, he rode Millerton to the Ether Paradise. The employees who had just started working also warmly greeted the chairman after seeing him coming.

If it is said that when Hoshino was first arranged by Lusamine to become the chairman of the board of directors, although these employees would greet him like this, they were more or less dissatisfied in their tone, but now this dissatisfaction has completely disappeared, and only admiration is left. and respect.

This inadvertent change is also a kind of recognition for him as the chairman of the board, even though he has not done much for the Ethereum Foundation at all, and even various decisions have nothing to do with him...

On the way to take the elevator to the first floor, I happened to meet Bi Ke coming out of the elevator. After seeing him, the other party greeted him very happily. After all, someone blocked Gulardo in Green Ridge City to delay the rescue time. Word has spread.

"Alola~Miss Bico~"

"Alola~ Why are you alone, didn't Lillie come over?"

"We just came back yesterday, and played all night, she was still sleeping, so I came here, and by the way, these..."

But before he finished speaking, Bi Ke pushed the frame of the mirror, and said in a serious tone: "Pay attention to your body, it's too scary for one night, Liliai has been physically weak since she was a child, so don't bully her!"

"???"

Hoshino was a little confused when he heard it. After thinking for a while, he finally understood what the other party was talking about. The corner of his mouth twitched, not knowing how to explain it.

After a moment of silence, he coughed lightly, and said with a little embarrassment: "Don't talk about such strange topics, mother, she should be over there in the laboratory, right? I caught some alien specialty Pippi here, mastered the core technology, should can help her with her research."

"Alien Pippi?"

Bi Ke glanced curiously at the packed Pippi, but she didn't see anything special about it, but there must be some truth to what the other party said, so she didn't ask further.

Then she sighed softly and said with some headaches: "Alas...the chairman has hardly left the laboratory these days, only when you came over before, she would leave for a while, no matter how much I persuade, there is no way. "

She is still used to being called the chairman of Lusamine. Although she has been corrected many times, she still can't change it, although Hoshino doesn't care about it.

Hearing this, Hoshino shook his head helplessly and said, "Let me go and have a look."

"Please, if you can, please persuade the chairman more. Although research is very important, you can't ruin your body like this."

"Ah."

After saying this, Hoshino took the elevator to the first floor, and then took the elevator on the other side to the underground research institute. Along the way, many employees greeted him warmly.

He responded one by one, and continued to walk towards the laboratory. Millerton followed behind, looking around curiously. After being destroyed by Necrozma, it was rebuilt, and many changes have taken place.

At the same time, it was also paying attention to prevent those Pipis from escaping, and the different-colored Pipi led the younger brothers to follow behind, and looked around vigilantly.

It is still very worried that these guys will catch them to the research institute for some dissection experiments, and of course I hope it is overthinking...

"Authentication passed—"

Take back the information card, and the door of the laboratory is opened. There is only one person in Lusamine here. After all, the other party is doing research on opening the ultimate hole. If this kind of thing is known by the international police, it may be Get in some trouble.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lusamine, who was recording the information on the tablet, didn't even look at it, and said calmly: "Just put breakfast on the table. Bring the experiment report here, Bi Ke..."

Before she finished speaking, she also felt that something was wrong. She subconsciously turned around to look, and the corners of her lips raised slightly: "Oh, why are you here suddenly? I heard that you are doing trouble in Fengyuan area again recently?"

"Little things."

"Maybe it's a trivial matter for you, what about Lilia? I was too tired last night and still resting?"

Hearing Lusamine showing a sly expression and mentioning this matter without hesitation, Hoshino almost fell to the ground, and couldn't help complaining: "You all like to think about it, don't you?"

"That's not right~ After all, I'm still waiting to hold your child. It's useless to persuade her, so I'll persuade you."

"..."

"Okay, no kidding, this kind of thing is still up to you to arrange and decide on your own, tell me, why did you come to me all of a sudden?"

Saying that, Lusamine crossed her arms and walked up to Hoshino. She caught a glimpse of those Pippis who were huddled together. Looking at these cute little guys, she couldn't help falling in love with them.

Hoshino didn't hide anything, so he told all the things. After learning that these Pippis have super high technology, and can even develop the technology of spaceships, Lusamine was completely excited, and the leader of the strange color Pippi was hugged into her arms.

"I want all these cute little guys, come and be my assistants!"

"Skin……"

"Then let them all stay here. Anyway, these guys have nowhere to go, but mother, please don't tell them some very important core secrets. You should pay more attention to this aspect."

"Don't worry!"

Lusamine smiled, she was always the only one who plotted against others, how could anyone else plot against her, these Pippis fell into her hands, there was no chance of messing around, she had to work honestly.

"Skin……"

Pippi has given up on invading this planet, and even now he doesn't have much other ideas. Since he can live here, let's live here first.

To be honest, it really wants to go to Kabukicho again. It didn't even find that place when it was in Alola...

The other Pippis are all following it, and they can only stay here if they can't go home, just take care of food and housing, and don't expect too much.

Looking at these Pippis, Hoshino had more or less guessed some of their inner thoughts, and said: "When the research is over, we will let you leave, although it may not be possible to let you return to the original planet, but this A planet is also pretty good."

"Skin……"

Pippi nodded, let's look at it when the time comes, let's study these messy things first, it's not too difficult anyway.

After explaining the matter, Hoshino looked at Lusamine, told about Lila and some of his guesses about the ultimate space, and then asked: "How long will it take for the recovery of that equipment to be completed?" ? Can it be done before the end of the year?"

"If I were to come alone, it would definitely not work, but if these Pippis are really powerful and can help a lot, maybe there will be no problem at all, maybe even earlier!"

"That's good!"

"But now there is one more problem..."

"Ok?"

"When Moen developed this device, he actually used a material called Taijing crystal. Now it must be used for repair work, but Ether Paradise does not currently have this material."

"Taijing crystal?"

Hoshino was taken aback for a moment, it sounds like it has something to do with being too crystalline...

And indeed as he thought, Lusamine explained: "You have been to the Padia area, you should also know that the entire area over there is covered by the energy of the crystal, and the crystal of the crystal is the concentration of the energy of the crystal is too high. Highly condensed, it can only appear in the depths of some caves in the Partia region!"

"So that's why..."

"I have arranged for people to look for it, but there is no result yet. However, according to this progress, it is not yet possible to use the Taijing crystal, so there is no need to be too anxious now."

"That's good."

Hoshino was already ready to help find it, since he is not in a hurry, then let's continue like this and wait quietly for the repair work to proceed.

But here, there is basically nothing to explain, Pippi has delivered everything, and Hoshino is ready to go back to rest.

But before leaving, he remembered what Bi Ke said before, looked at Lusamine who was kneading Pippi with a happy face, and said, "Mom, you should pay more attention to rest, your body is more important, Lillie If you know that you are staying in the laboratory every day like this, you will definitely be angry."

"Well, I see. With the help of these Pippis, I shouldn't be too tired, but don't tell her."

Lusamine responded with a smile. She was also very happy that the children cared about her, but she also realized that she seemed to be worrying the children too. Such a high-intensity job is really not good.

Hoshino nodded, and then left with Millerton, and when he left, Lusamine nodded in relief,
But then, the smile on her face changed suddenly, she shook a Pippi with one hand, and said with a smile: "Shh~ let's start the experiment!"

……

After returning to the homeless neighborhood, the days were relatively peaceful for a long time. Not only Alola, but also other areas did not have any major events. It is rare to be so quiet and peaceful.

After staying in Kabukicho for a week, Manafei reluctantly left. As the prince of the sea, he still had so many people to guard, so it was impossible to leave the Temple of the Sea all the time.

But it has also decided that the Sea Temple will revolve around the sea area of ​​Alola in the future. In this way, it can still come to Kabukicho every once in a while. It likes it so much.

The reconstruction work in Green Ridge City lasted for a whole month, and it was finally back to normal. If it wasn't for the help of the colorful meteorites, it would have taken at least half a year for that to happen.

At the same time, the construction of the headquarters of the Alola Alliance on Mount Lanakira is also in progress, and cable cars have been installed around it to facilitate the passage of people who are too lazy to climb the mountain, and by the way, they can enjoy the snow scenery.

Including the four heavenly kings of the Alola Alliance, they are also currently choosing. Several island kings are still considering whether to choose some excellent trainers in the Alola area, or simply go and be the ones themselves.

After all, the position of the Four Heavenly Kings cannot be sloppy, at least it must be well-known, and the trainers in the area must be convinced.

There are also gyms at the same time... But this, Hoshino proposed another plan for Hara and the others, because the Alola area is too small to fit eight gyms.

So it's better to simply change the gym challenge to the captain's test, so that the overlords living on the island can also help, and the captain and the wild Pokémon will come together to test the challenger.

In this way, the interdependence of humans and Pokémon in the Alola region can be better utilized, and then the badge is changed to a Z pure crystal with a special mark. This is also a characteristic of Alola, and it is much better than the badges that can only be used as decorations in other regions. up.

Regarding Hoshino's proposal, the four island kings had nothing to say, they all agreed directly, and the next step was to confirm that these captains must be proficient in using single-attribute Z moves.

And these are arranged by themselves. Hoshino really doesn't have much energy to deal with these. As the Alola area becomes more and more lively, more and more Pokémon follow, and they also discovered the singing and dancing on the ground. Kicho and Master House.

The work in Master House is also very tiring... just like that, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the time has come to September...

The hot summer has just ended, and with the arrival of the school season, the passenger flow in the Alola area has decreased for a short period of time, allowing Master House to breathe a little bit, and finally it can rest.

As early as a month ago, Hoshino had already received news from Lusamine, and the restoration work went very smoothly. Those Pippis are simply cyber gods, and all kinds of technological research and development are not a problem at all.

If it is not related to the professional knowledge of space, these Pippis are not very familiar with it, and the Taijing crystal is still not found, I am afraid that the repair work will be over this month.

However, it has been roughly confirmed that the repair work will definitely be completed before the end of the year, and the countdown to the establishment of the Alola Alliance has also begun, which is almost the end of the year.

But on the first day of the school season, another piece of heavy news suddenly appeared on the trending searches and spread all over the Internet, attracting the attention of many archaeologists!
"A severe earthquake occurred in the dry desert of the Partia region, the ground collapsed, and the lost ancient country Mariejoia, buried at the bottom of the dust, was rediscovered!"
