"How about this."

After politely refusing, Nan Xian thought for a moment and added.

"If you don't mind waiting, you can tell me what you need first, and I'll make it for you when I'm free. How about that?"

"no problem!"

It was a pleasant surprise that the request was actually accepted.

A Bi had long been accustomed to the tempers of the Poké Ball craftsmen. Seeing Nan Xian being so easy to talk to, he even felt relieved.

——As expected of him, he is the disciple that Gangtie always praises. He can make mandarin fruit balls so easily!

"Then I will wait for the official commission from Master Abi."

Nan Xian nodded and added a few more words.

"Also, I can use the cones that you bring with you. If you have any needs in this regard, please feel free to let me know."

"That's great!"

The young curator's expression became even more enthusiastic.

You should know that not all craftsmen can produce tangerine balls stably.

The most advanced steel in the Johto area can only produce one tangerine ball on average per day. If it were someone else, the handmade finished product would most likely be a by-product such as a super ball, a high-end ball, or a commemorative ball.

Some Poké Ball craftsmen even sell handmade red and white Poké Balls.

Those handmade Poké Balls have no side effects at all, and compared to machine-made products, they occasionally have defects due to poor craftsmanship.

Therefore, in order to ensure stable production and the most important reputation, some Poké Ball craftsmen strictly reject sources of unknown origin and only use reliable tree fruits to make handmade Poké Balls.

But truly experienced craftsmen have a completely different way of doing things.

Steel has the habit of using the cones brought by the trainers to make Fruit Balls. He believes that the Fruit Balls made in this way are unique products that belong completely to the trainer.

Thinking in this way, Nan Xian, who could easily propose customized tangerine balls, had a much higher status in A Bi's heart.

Nan Xian himself didn't think there was anything wrong.

She used telekinesis to make tangerine balls and did not need to consider the possibility of failure. Since the buyer was willing to bear the cost of the balls, she was happy about it.

After saying goodbye to A Bi, Nan Xian turned and walked towards home.

After finishing most of the matters, Nan Xian only needs to pick out a trainer from the trainers who have accepted escort commissions in the next few days, and then he can prepare to go on a long journey.

The prosperous Manjin City, the natural park full of natural scenery, and the most important Yuanzhu City.

In the game, the history of Enju City is passed down, representing hundreds of years of civilization in the Johto region. What would the two twin towers carrying the legend look like in reality?

Nan Xian was looking forward to the moment when he could actually see those sceneries.

……

Beishang Township, Cuilv Town.

Compared to the leisurely white-haired girl, Danyu half-knelt in front of her grandfather, muttering to herself.

——Why do I have to be scolded?

"Why are you thinking of going to Ghost Mountain alone to take risks?"

The old man was panting and kept preaching.

"I thought only Wu Li would be so reckless. As a sister, how could you be like that kid and not take the village legend seriously?"

"But I don't think it's dangerous."

Danyu couldn't help but speak.

That's right.

Although I really saw the legendary ghost and suffered some minor injuries.

But after escaping back home, Danyu thought about it carefully and realized it.

If the ghost was really that brutal, and chased her with its power, there was no way she would have paid such a small price.

Even Vulpix fainted due to exhaustion. Are the legendary ghosts really that scary?

"I can not understand."

Danyu couldn't think of an answer, but didn't want to keep it to herself, so she spoke directly to her grandfather.

"I really encountered a ghost wearing a mask, but I didn't get hurt in the end."

"Everyone says that the ghost is very violent. A long time ago, it came to the village and caused a lot of trouble. The treasure companions drove the ghost away and protected the village."

"After that, the ghost started to wander outside the village. If you encountered it after dusk, it would take your soul away and you would never be able to return to the village."

Facts speak louder than words. Danyu believed that she had encountered a ghost and returned safely.

Then.

Legends in the village and my own experiences.

Which one is real?

The old man's eyes widened, and after a while, he realized what his granddaughter had said.

"You met a ghost..."

He was silent for a moment and then let out a long sigh.

“I didn’t expect that ghosts are still wandering around in Ghost Mountain.”

“Is this a very strange thing?”

Danyu was puzzled.

Although she is full of doubts now, the legend that there are ghosts in Ghost Mountain has been circulating in the village since she was a child.

“Because you don’t know the real history, you think it’s normal.”

The old man's expression became more and more sad.

"I didn't want to tell you, but now that you have met Ergui, it's time to tell you the true history."

The old man's sudden words took Danyu a long time to react.

What she said just now was just a way of venting her anger, and she didn't even think about getting an answer.

But grandpa showed extraordinary calmness and understanding.

"True history..."

Danyu chewed it over and over again, realizing that he might hear a truth that would subvert his cognition.

"That's right. The true history passed down from generation to generation in our family is actually completely opposite to the ancient legends circulating in the village."

The old man didn't try to be mysterious and gave the answer directly.

What follows is a long story.

By the time Danyu heard all the words and the old man refilled his cup of tea, he was already furious.

She felt extremely angry.

The ferocious Pokémon with the laughing mask only managed to repel Vulpix in the end. Strictly speaking, neither itself nor Vulpix suffered any serious harm.

No, now it should be called the Evil Spirit.

Danyu already knows the ghost's real name.

According to Kitakami Township legend, Eruption possesses four magical, glittering masks, and the club it wields varies depending on the mask it wears.

The emerald green mask of grass can bring dead plants back to life.

The scarlet mask of fire can make the candle burn brightly.

The azure water mask can stop the flow of river water.

The lime-colored Mask of Rock gives Eruption the power to crush rocks.

These masks originally belonged to the Ursa Major.

Legend has it that the treasure companions worshipped by the village took away the three masks before they fell, thus sealing the power of the evil spirit.

But in fact, the three worshipped treasures actually stole the mask, so Ergui was furious and went down the mountain to the village to beat them to death.

"…Is this how we are, worshipping evildoers for hundreds or thousands of years?"

Danyu couldn't believe it.

The old man sighed deeply.

"So much time has passed since then that even if someone is wrong, the villagers are more willing to believe the wrong party."

"If we admit our historical mistakes, Beishang Township, which relies on tourism as its foundation, will suffer a devastating disaster. Our ancestors were persecuted for this reason."

"So remember, don't tell this legend to outsiders."

Chapter 16: Er Guiyan's Determination

"Ugh, this is really infuriating!"

Danyu paced around the room, gritting her teeth and cursing.

The truth he had just heard lingered in his mind, and Danyu, who was already impatient, became even more unbearable.

But just like grandpa said, I am no longer a child.

Danyu understood that this was not a matter that she could handle on her own initiative. If she carried on with her temper, things would get out of control.

——The worst case scenario is that we become like our ancestors, and the entire village ostracizes our family.

Thinking of the possible consequences, Danyu suppressed her anger at a speed that even she found incredible. Although the fire of hatred was still burning deep in her heart, she chose to sit on the chair and shake her feet while thinking.

Danyu wasn't ready to give up.

Although……

Danyu admitted that she couldn't just stand up and reveal the truth to the villagers, but at least there was something she could do, right?

For example, visit the Eruption again.

Danyu wanted to tell Erguiliang that she had no ill intentions and that she knew the truth of history. If possible, she would try her best to help Erguiliang in the future.

"Okay! Just do it!"

Thinking of this, Danyu suddenly stood up and the chair slid backwards with the movement.

Wu Li, who was sitting next door, heard his sister going crazy in the room and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Really..."

……

Early the next morning.

Ghost mountain, scary cave.

Erguiyan, who was holding the girl doll and drooling at the corners of his mouth, was still dreaming sweet dreams when he suddenly sensed footsteps.

"Bo...Bonioh?!"

When Erguiyan was frightened, his first reaction was to stuff the girl doll into his arms, looking around, and then reaching for the mask.

Although there were many items in the Terror Cave that it cherished very much, Eruption, who subconsciously wanted to escape, still wanted to take the most important part first.

After a moment, Eruption touched the mask before reacting.

——Why should I run away?

In the past, Eruption firmly resisted contact with any person or Pokémon. It was afraid of being watched and only wanted to escape to a corner where no one would pay attention to it and live alone.

But now, I have someone I can rely on.

Erguiyan took out the doll from his arms again.

The doll that looked like a white-haired girl had a smiling expression on its face. Just by looking at the doll, Erkuro felt full of strength.

She is keeping me company!

Having made up his mind again, Erguiyan no longer hesitated, put on the green grass mask on his face, and walked out of the horror cave.
