Many people were so scared that they covered their eyes, but Qi Yun saw with his own eyes that before the young man accelerated to the lowest point, his body suddenly swayed, his whole body was wrapped in a ray of light, and he landed smoothly.
Under the incredible gazes of everyone, the yellow-haired young man patted his clothes as if nothing had happened and looked at the crowd.
Although he said he was looking at the "crowd", Qi Yun keenly discovered that the yellow-haired young man did not pay attention to the sailors and fishermen who were watching.
His eyes were only focused on these people with the elf balls from beginning to end.
"My name is Shun, docile Shun, you can call me Ah Shun." After looking around, the yellow-haired young man began to introduce himself: "As the notice I had people put up before said, as long as any of you can If you beat me in a one-on-one Pokémon battle, you can get 1000 yuan from me."
The people with Pokémon looked at each other and did not answer Shun immediately.
They are not fools, and they know that there is no such thing as pie in the sky, and the unknown young man with yellow hair in front of them does not look like he is doing charity specifically.
"You said that if we win, we will be given 1000 yuan, but what if we lose? Will we give you 1000 yuan in return?" A young man of medium height opened his mouth and expressed the doubts in everyone's mind: "If that's the case I'm sorry, my family doesn't allow me to gamble outside..."
"This is not gambling, just a competition."
Facing everyone's doubts, Ah Shun just said calmly: "Just like the notice I posted, I only want a defeat this time. If you lose, I won't ask you to do anything."
After confirming again and again, everyone gradually felt relieved, and soon someone couldn't help but take the lead in challenging the person named Ashun.
Qi Yun was hiding in the crowd. He originally came here just to take a look at the excitement, but the more he looked, the more surprised and interested he became.
The one named Ashun... is very strong!
Qi Yun himself has been away from home for many years, traveling around and seeing a lot. He has also met many people who can use powerful Pokémon, and his own strength is quite good.
But someone as powerful as the person named Ashun in front of him... has almost never happened before!
Facing the challenge from everyone, he just quietly sent out a yellow fox-faced Pokémon holding two spoons, and defeated five or six challengers without any delay!
The five or six challengers were not very strong. Qi Yun claimed that he could defeat them if he changed positions, but he would never be able to do so with ease like Ah Shun.
Driven by curiosity, Qi Yun himself threw a Poke Ball to compete with Ashun, but in the end he also lost - but compared to others, he persisted significantly longer.
After losing, Qi Yun was amazed, put away the elf ball, and stood aside to continue observing Ashun.
Traveling for such an expert is definitely not as simple as "seeking defeat".
After defeating everyone, Ah Shun looked around and picked out three people from a dozen challengers.
A boy of medium height, a muscular middle-aged man with a short hair, and Qi Yun.
Qi Yun blinked. He noticed that among the challengers, these three were obviously stronger than the others. They were the three who persisted the longest and caused the most damage to Ashun's Pokémon. personal.
"You three are very capable, and I admire you very much. I can see that you also like Pokémon battles, right?"
Ah Shun smiled vaguely at the three of them: "Are you interested in having more and better Pokémon battles?"
Without waiting for the three people to respond, he pointed to the big ship he came on: "I'll give you 5 minutes to think about it. Come with me, I am the Pokémon Gym Leader, Ashun. Just follow me, You won’t have to worry about not having any battles in the future.”
After saying that, he returned to the boat without looking back, leaving the three people he singled out and the other onlookers looking at each other.
"Well... what are you going to do?" The medium-sized boy seemed to be undecided, and asked the short-haired man and Qi Yun: "That person is indeed very strong, and I really like Pokémon battles... But wouldn’t it be a little hasty to go up like this?”
The short-haired man was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need to hesitate. I am a traveling warrior, traveling with the goal of tempering myself. Now that I have seen such a strong person, there is no reason to let go."
After saying that, the short-haired man stepped forward and boarded the huge steam passenger ship.
"Wait, wait... Damn it." The medium-sized boy was still hesitant and looked at Qi Yun: "This little brother, what do you think?"
"I'm not a traveling warrior, so I'm not as clear-minded as that uncle. But..."
Qi Yun grinned and strode forward: "How could I miss such an interesting and fun thing?"
Chapter 99 The household registration book has only one page
After boarding the ship with the mentality of having fun, Qi Yun stayed on the steam passenger ship for more than half a month.
The ship initially traveled from north to south. It seemed that it did not have an exact destination, but headed for one large port after another.
Every time he stayed near the port, the man named Ashun would repeatedly use the extremely flamboyant way to get off the ship, fight with the people gathered near the port, and select those whose strength he recognized to invite on board.
As mentioned before, in this era, most of the people who carry Pokémon with them and are good at and like Pokémon battles are not ordinary people with serious jobs and fixed residences, but more like Qi Yun because of various Travelers who venture around for various reasons, follow their hearts.
For travelers seeking excitement, Ashun's powerful strength and mysterious background are undoubtedly very attractive.After more than half a month, more than a dozen people boarded the ship after Qi Yun and the short-haired man.After the number reached 25, Ashun seemed to be finally satisfied and ordered the sailors to turn around and return.
It was also at that time that Qi Yun learned that their destination this time was an area in the north called "Xicui".
Qi Yun had heard of it. It was a desolate land that was more primitive and ancient than other areas.It is said that there are not even a few settlements large enough to be called a "town", let alone a city.Compared to the humans living there in scattered villages with dozens of households, the numerous Pokémon in the wild are more like the owners of that land.
According to Ashun, he is a "Pokémon Tamer" who is good at Pokémon battles. He has opened a gym in the northeast of the Xicui area specifically for Pokémon battle training. It has many A powerful disciple.
However, Ah Shun never mentioned a word about why he went to sea to invite everyone on board. Even if Qi Yun tried to ask around, he deliberately avoided it.
Well, the less he wanted to say it, the more curious Qi Yun became and the more he wanted to figure out what was going on.
Qi Yun tried to use his social skills to communicate with the crew on the steam passenger ship to find out where Ah Shun came from.But unfortunately, the crew's answer was that they didn't know either.
"Half a month ago, the boss and his entourage came to us and said that they wanted to, burp, charter our ship for a period of time." After drinking a few bottles of ale, he was still keeping his mouth shut. Shi's crew member Qi Yun was already able to answer all questions: "At that time, he, Hiccup, took a large bag of coins and placed it heavily on the table. To be honest, Hiccup, it's not like I haven't seen money before. But this is the first time I have seen so much change, piled on the table like a mountain."
Although he didn't get any information except "that man named Ashun has a lot of coins and change", Qi Yun was not discouraged.
After all, wouldn't it be boring if the answer to the mystery was discovered so easily?
Next, in order to solve the mystery, Qi Yun focused on another person.
Ashun's follower, Xizhuo, who calls himself the "second disciple".
——Magic Space——
Bring your eyes back to the deck.
"...What exactly do we do?"
Xizhuo frowned, glanced at Xizhuo who asked him the question, and said in an unhappy tone: "Didn't Master Ah Shun and I repeat this many times? We are Pokémon trainers from the Pokémon Gym. It is my duty to conduct Pokémon battles and hone my own strength.”
"No, no, no, it seems that my explanation was not clear enough." Qi Yun shrugged: "I mean, what do you want to do by taking us away? What kind of gym did you take us to, and what is your purpose? ?”
Xizhuo continued to frown. The smooth-tongued man in front of him with a smile on his face all year round made him very unhappy, especially the tone of his speech, which was three parts casual, three parts teasing and four parts careless, as if he had seen through everything.
"Does this question have any significance?" Xizhuo's tone became more and more aggressive: "You lost to Master Ashun, and then you admired his great strength, so you voluntarily boarded the ship. Since you came voluntarily, then Don’t ask around, just stay on the boat quietly and wait until you reach your destination!”
Faced with the hostility that almost appeared on Xizhuo's face, Qi Yun didn't panic at all. He spread his hands and said, "Even so, I still need to know what we are going to do! Otherwise, what do you want me to write in the letter?"
"Letter? What letter?"
"Of course it's a letter to home!"
Qi Yun opened his eyes wide and puffed up his chest, acting as if it was natural: "Those of us traveling abroad have to write letters to our families every month, telling them where we have been and what we are going to do next. Wait for a series of things.
This is not only to share our experiences with our families, but also to report to them that we are safe.If I don't write back in a month, it means I'm missing, and they can use the last letter to trace my whereabouts... Don't you have this habit? "
Some of the people around him nodded in agreement - when traveling abroad, writing letters home is the most basic thing, and every traveler has this habit.
The only exception is the kind of traveler whose household registration book only has one page.
As Qi Yun was talking, he suddenly paused and showed an expression of sudden realization.
Xizhuo looked at Qi Yun's expression and felt baffled. He was about to become impatient, but suddenly he saw the other person's face suddenly filled with sadness and sympathy, and he patted his shoulder heavily.
"I'm so...so sorry!" Qi Yun burst into tears and choked up: "I should have known earlier. It's not that you don't have the habit of writing letters to your family, but that you don't have anyone to write to, right? I'm so sorry, I accidentally brought up your sadness..."
Xizhuo's face was full of confusion, because Qi Yun's performance was so deceptive and contagious. He was stunned for a long time before he finally realized what the other party meant, and his face suddenly turned red: "You! You!"
Qi Yun continued to "comfort" him and said: "Don't be too sad. Even if the deceased has left, they will still live in our hearts forever. Don't be reluctant to let them go... If you really can't let go, speed up your progress and go to accompany them earlier." That’s fine…”
"You... bastard!"
Xizhuo was so angry that he bit his lip until it bled. He pushed Qi Yun away and squeezed the elf ball tightly in his hand.
"Duel me! I will make you regret what you just said!"
Chapter 100 I had tea with Sherlock Holmes
Compared to the furious Xizhuo, Qi Yun pushed back with an innocent face and raised his hands, looking aggrieved.
"Duel? What is a duel? Is it the kind of duel between knights in the ancient Galar region? Hmm... I don't know why you want to duel with me, but if that's the case, it's obviously against the rules."
Qi Yun thought for a while and reminded "kindly": "You should throw the gloves to me, and then say that you have to swear by such and such ancestors and fight for such and such... Well, if you don't have ancestors, no Isn’t it okay to say that the previous one is okay?”
Xizhuo was already extremely angry and laughed back. He actually took off his fingerless sports gloves and threw them viciously in front of Qi Yun.
"I am Xizhuo, a disciple of Master Ah Shun, ranked third in the gym and second among the "second disciples"!" He said word by word: "I want to challenge you to a duel for my dignity! If I win If so, I want you to kneel down and apologize for me!"
Oh my god, he actually did this - this was the first thought that came to Qi Yun's mind.
Young people are young people, they can't stand the excitement at all.With this kind of mental quality, if he goes out and travels alone, no matter how strong the Pokémon he has, he will be cheated to the point of losing his bones sooner or later.
He resisted the urge to laugh out loud and nodded solemnly: "Okay, then if I win, you have to tell us the purpose of this time and make it a promise."
After that, the two of them walked back to back, and the onlookers around them dispersed voluntarily, leaving a clear space for the two of them.
I don’t know what kind of money Ah Shun used to convince the captain of the steamer to use the open space on the deck as a venue for Pokémon battles.Most of the people who could be invited on board the ship were fond of Pokémon battles. It was a rare opportunity to meet so many people with the same hobby. Naturally, they couldn't help but show off their skills in the past few days and had a good battle with each other here.
But now, this place will be handed over to Qi Yun and Xizhuo for "duel".
Many people outside the field were as curious as Qi Yun about the purpose of this event. In addition, in the past few days, Li Xizhuo's actions and gestures revealed an arrogance that was very unfavorable, so most people were more interested. I hope Qi Yun can win.
But before both parties could take their respective positions and take out the elf ball, an angry voice interrupted roughly from the side.
"Xizhuo, what are you doing!"
The crowd moved aside, only to see Ah Shun rush out from the crowd and angrily walk towards Xizhuo.
"Master!" Xizhuo didn't notice Ashun's expression and said subconsciously: "That man insulted me, I want to duel with him now!"
"Insulted?" Ah Shun's face turned black and white: "Why did he insult you?"
"This, this..." Xizhuo was suddenly speechless at this time.
Although he is good at Pokémon battles, he has not mastered the culture class. After holding it for a long time, he could not explain how the other party insulted him. come out.
Seeing that he couldn't explain why for a long time, Ah Shun took a deep breath, turned around and cupped his hands towards Qi Yun.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qi Yun. My apprentice doesn't know etiquette and has offended me a lot. Please be patient and don't be on the same level as him."
Before Qi Yun could react, Xizhuo beside him opened his eyes wide.
My proud master... actually apologized to the glib guy across from me? !
"Ah, Master Ah Shun!" Xizhuo couldn't help but said, "Why did you..."
"Shut up!" Ah Shun glared back at him, put his mouth next to his ear, and said something sternly.
Xizhuo originally wanted to argue, but then he could only lower his head angrily, but his eyes still looked at Qi Yun with resentment.
Ah Shun then bowed his hands to Qi Yun and the people gathered around him, said some innocuous polite words, and then dragged Xizhuo away.
Sigh, what a pity, we were so close to finding out the answer directly... Qi Yun couldn't help but shrugged, feeling a little regretful.
Seeing that there was no follow-up to the matter, the surrounding spectators dispersed one after another and went to other places on the deck to engage in Pokémon battles, leaving Qi Yun to blow the cold wind.
Qi Yun yawned and was about to leave the deck when he suddenly heard a hoarse voice coming from behind:
"Why are you doing this?"
Qi Yun turned around and blinked: "Uh, I remember your name is... Ka Er?"
"It's Karl, you just asked me my name." The young man with black hair, blue eyes and a scarf has gradually learned to ignore Qi Yun's habit of deliberately calling the wrong person's name: "Just now, why did you take the initiative to provoke me? he?"
"How can I?" Qi Yun said with an innocent face: "I was obviously expressing my concern for him, but for some reason, he suddenly looked very angry and angry, which shocked me. Woolen cloth……"
Karl was silent for a moment and pointed to the palm of Qi Yun's left hand that he had been clenching.
"I once spent some time in the Hezhu area, where there is a Pokémon called the Aphrodisiac. They produce a special reddish-brown powder." Carl said expressionlessly: "That kind of powder is called Anger powder has the effect of affecting moods and irritating people—much like the powders you hold in your hands.”
Qi Yun blinked and spread out his left hand. There was a white paper bag in his palm, with some reddish-brown powder leaking out of one corner.
"Oh my, that's a coincidence." Qi Yun put the paper bag away nonchalantly: "But this is inevitable, right? After all, you are actually curious about what those two people want us to do."
Karl's eyes moved: "What do you mean?"
"Let's make friends, Mr. Carl, and treat each other as taking care of each other." Qi Yun stretched out a hand: "I can share with you the information I have obtained, and if there is a special situation - such as that person named Ah Smoothly lure us to a deep mountain forest and then kill us all. Can you please help me a little?"
Karl did not immediately hold Qi Yun's extended hand, but looked into his eyes: "Do you have a lot of information?"
"Not only that, my reasoning ability is also first-rate." Qi Yun grinned: "Have you ever heard of the famous detective at No. 221 Baker Street, Jiqing City, Galar Region? That's a good friend of mine. We often go there Let’s solve the case together.”
Karl thought for a moment: "I need proof."
"The simplest thing is, judging from the actions of the two of them just now, we can analyze a lot of things."
