Chapter 203 Subduing the Evil Spirit, Beishang Township Drastically Revamps its Plan

"Did you faint now?"

Qingyu glanced at Lao Deng, who was lying on the ground but whose chest was rising and falling rhythmically, and shook her head helplessly.

Although it feels more like a case of feigning death to escape reality after realizing the enormity of the disaster and being unable to accept it, but...

In fact, Qingyu didn't really intend to use a knife on these villagers; what he said earlier was just to scare the old man.

After all, Beishang Township is also part of Padiya's territory. Although Ci gave him the greatest power, it would be difficult to handle if things got out of hand.

Seeing this ridiculous scene of the administrator made Qingyu feel much better.

As for the final touches, he already had a basic idea in mind.

First of all, we definitely need to give a warning to these locals who have been influenced by Tao Dailang and are blinded by greed. It's time to change the administrator.

then……

Qingyu looked at Egui Peng, who had a tense expression beside her.

It seemed genuinely frightened by Old Deng's words, thinking it had made a grave mistake, so it unconsciously reached out its little hand to grab Qingyu's sleeve, as if trying to gain some sense of security in this way.

Because of what had just happened, this young man, whom E Guipeng had only met for one night and whose name he still didn't know, had left an indelible impression on him.

When everyone was blaming him and thinking that he had disrupted the festival, he was the one who stood up and stood in front of him.

Facing the four villains who killed men like his father, he stood firmly behind them and unleashed the true power of the mask, allowing him to avenge his father.

Egui Peng didn't know how to repay this kindness.

When it looked up at Qingyu with a nervous gaze, it quickly met those gentle, smiling, dark eyes that were watching it intently.

"It's alright, Egui Pong."

"It's all over."

"From now on, no one will be prejudiced against you anymore."

“Boni…”

Hearing the calm tone of the young man in front of her, E Guipeng suddenly felt like crying again for some reason.

At the same time, a completely new problem also arose in its mind—

Now that the man's revenge has been taken, what should she do next?
It had already deeply realized that the people of Beishang Township did not welcome it, and this prejudice would only deepen over time.

If I absolutely have to leave here...

Ergui blinked her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, and subconsciously looked at the man beside her.

Just then, Qingyu noticed its gaze.

And so, the next words naturally followed:
"If you don't mind, how about traveling with me from now on?"

"Boni?!"

Seemingly not expecting Qingyu to be so blunt, Egui Peng subconsciously let out an incredulous cry, even feeling a little insecure himself.

Did I misunderstand him?

But after seeing Qingyu's determined eyes and recalling what he had just done, Egui Peng quickly realized that his sincerity was not at all pretentious.

Having figured this out, it quickly nodded firmly and reached its hand into Qingyu's large hand.

If centuries of solitude were exchanged for this sweet moment of finally being understood...

So perhaps the wait is worthwhile.

Seeing that Egui Peng did not resist her, Qing Yu quickly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Qingyu."

Qingyu smiled and narrowed her eyes, then continued.

"Please continue to guide me in the future~"

"Boni!"

Egui Peng nodded repeatedly.

According to the procedure, Qingyu should take out the Poké Ball at this point, proceed with the normal capture process, and finally shout:
"Evil spirit, Get★daze!"

Unfortunately, because he was wearing a kimono for the Masked Festival, he didn't have any extra pockets. The limit was that he could carry his friends' Poké Balls and Crystal Beads with him.

but……

Now that we've already won over the adorable Ponpo, we're not afraid it'll run away anymore!
Thinking this to himself, Qingyu quietly observed Egui Peng's adorable expression for a few seconds before several lines of text quickly appeared before his eyes—

【Evil and Deceptive Poncho (Female)】

[Attribute: grass]

[Characteristics: Not admitting defeat]

[Moves: Watch Me, Thorn Stick, Abyssal Thrust, Photosynthesis, Spiked Guard, Brute Force, Wooden Hammer...]

[Intimacy: 230]

[A personality trait characterized by a strong aversion to loneliness.]

We met on December 25th in Cuilu Town, Beishang Township.

I don't like sour tastes.

[A bit clingy.]

When the information about the Evil Spirit appeared in his eyes, Qingyu was stunned.

Is my intimacy level with Egui Peng really that high?
However, when he noticed that Erguipeng was swaying from side to side and even humming a simple but very cute melody out of joy, he quickly smiled.

Isn't this good enough? At the same time, after standing aside and watching the whole process of Qingyu subduing Egui Peng, the others couldn't help but smile.

Besides black chestnuts.

Having loved ghosts since childhood, he watched Qingyu interact intimately with a ghost, his eyes revealing a hint of longing.

If all the demons like myself are subdued by Teacher Qingyu, where will my future companions be?

No, as long as I keep getting stronger, until I'm like Teacher Qingyu...

Surely I'll be able to meet my partners then?
……

December 26th, the Friday after Christmas.

Due to the major incident that occurred during last night's masked face festival, many guests have already left Kitakami Village overnight.

Therefore, the town of Emerald Green appears somewhat deserted today.

However, every major event that happened today was far more explosive than yesterday's.

First, there was a video posted last night by "Qunqingzhiyu," a well-known streamer on Pokémon TV.

Having nothing to do today, I casually came to Beishang Township to "hunt" a ghost.

In reality, it was just a video recorded by Ziyu last night, with a few fighting scenes edited into a 5-minute pure version video, which was used as cyber evidence in this incident.

However, viewers who were unaware of what exactly happened in Kitakami Township thoroughly enjoyed the show.

[I knew Teacher Yu didn't treat us like outsiders! She even sent us a video as a token gesture while on vacation!]

[Wait a minute? When did Teacher Yu catch a new Pokémon? It's so cute!]

[Hmph, cute? Just wait and see, this little cutie is a tough nut to crack a muscular dog with one blow!]

At first, Erguipeng, who still exuded a cute and adorable charm despite wearing a mask, attracted everyone's attention.

But it wasn't until Tao Dailang appeared and the Egui Pong Liu Bang shattered its revenge dream that many viewers suddenly realized—

[As expected of Teacher Yu, the cuter the Pokémon, the harder it attacks!]

Go tell my Korean friend what you have to say!

[Could this be Yu-laoshi's real main force? Was it all just minor skirmishes in Padiya?]

As the video progressed, Tao Dailang was soon knocked away by a stick, and a purple light shot into the sky. Then, the figures of the Three Treasures Under the Moon appeared before countless viewers.

This left some viewers who had visited Beishang Township dumbfounded.

[Isn't this the "Three Treasures Companion" from the propaganda of Beishang Township? Wasn't it said that it sacrificed itself in a battle with demons a hundred years ago? How did it come back to life???]

[Could it be special effects? Teacher Yu is getting better, and these special effects look expensive!]

[Special effects my foot! Even Porygon couldn't create such realistic effects...]

If the resurrection of the Three Treasures was already shocking to the audience, then what happened next will leave them speechless.

because--

After changing the mask, the Pokémon next to Qingyu, which displayed special power through crystallization, actually killed the "Three Treasures" that had been worshipped by Kitakami Township for generations with a single blow.
[Did Teacher Yu go to film a movie? I don't understand what happened.]

【Hey, I know the answer to this question. Just look at the announcement from Parthia!】

[Just came from there. All I know is that it seems the propaganda from Beishang Township has been fake all along, and Sanbaoban seems to be the bad guys...]

【Huh? Is it that abstract? I really need to go check it out!】

After being reminded by the comments, you don't even need to exit the video; you can directly find the announcement posted by Padiya through the related search in the comments section.

The content is also very simple—

Through a joint investigation by Padia Gym Leader Aoba and Sinnoh Champion Cynthia, the historical truth of Kitakami Village has finally come to light.

It turns out that the three companions were not the heroes who saved the village at all, but rather the accomplices of an evil Pokémon. The "ghost" that everyone had been fearing was actually the real hero.

Just last night, that evil Pokémon revived its three companions and attempted to attack Kitakami Village.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, our savior from Kitakami Township, the great detective who discovered the truth of history, and the new gym leader of the Padia region—Aoba—came to our aid in time, thus averting a disaster.

That is, the video content that the audience sees.

Of course, the announcements from the Parthian region did not stop there.

Regarding the recent chaos in the tourism industry in Beishang Township, the Qingyu Pavilion Master will take charge of the rectification, and some tourist attractions in Beishang Township will be temporarily closed.

The original Baoban Square will be replaced with statues of the guardians of the village, Egui Peng and the Qingyu Pavilion Master, after reconstruction and renovation.

For a time, every tourist who had traveled to Padiya was delighted.

[Good, good, it's long overdue to teach these troublemakers a lesson. These Sanbao Ban dolls are so small, yet they're selling them for 5000 yuan! They won't let you leave if you don't buy them—isn't that blatant robbery?]

No wonder that Sanbao Ban seemed like a bad guy to me; he didn't fit their legend at all. Turns out it really was all a lie!

[Teacher Yu actually did something quite unusual this time?]

[This is just awkward criticism, okay? Although Teacher Yu might have a bit of a penchant for tormenting his opponents, he's really decisive when it comes to important matters!]

Teacher Yu, forever a legend!

[There's a statue of Teacher Yu here! Looks like I'll have to make a trip to Beishang Township sometime! Not for anything else, just to pay my respects to Teacher Yu~]

Do you think there's any possibility...?

[Actually, this idea was also Teacher Yu's. He predicted your predictions and brought a wave of tourists to Beishang Township!]

Good heavens, this is a calculated move!
