On the field, the two Pokémon rushed towards each other at the same time, but the moment Dratini appeared, the Uruk-O attack fell on its head.

——The thorn vine stick hits the target accurately!

Chapter 55: Just an Evil Spirit

Seeing the mini dragon being knocked to the ground by the thorn vine stick, Qinglu immediately announced the end of the battle.

"Pokémon battles cannot be forced. Dratini's stamina is almost exhausted. You should take him to Joey to recover first."

After losing to Erguirong, Longgong was obviously depressed. In order to let her relax, Qinglu found a way out for her.

"……Um."

The girl sniffed and spoke in a muffled voice.

After Ryugong put away the Dratini and turned to walk out of the battlefield, Nan Xian approached with Erguiliang in his arms.

"Bonnie oh~!"

After winning the battle, Erguiliang threw himself into Nanxian's arms and asked for a hug as a reward.

Although it was still a bit difficult to hold the dozens of kilograms of Erguiliang, since Erguiliang had tried so hard, Nan Xian definitely could not lose to it.

Then Qinglu saw the girl's strange posture.

“I saw a good fight.”

In battles between trainers, there are always winners and losers.

According to Qinglu's own personality, he would not go out of his way to comfort the losing party. It's just that as the former Quartz League champion, Qinglu's relationship with the current champion Adu is neither good nor bad, but they have been colleagues after all.

The few words Qinglu just said to Longgong were already a rare gesture of caring for the younger generation. The rest depended on whether Longgong himself could recover from the frustration of failure.

"Evil Ghost?"

Qinglu once again took a good look at the Pokémon leaning against the girl's arms.

Just now, Erguilang performed really well in the battle.

You have to know that unlike the Dragonite under the command of Ryugu, Nanxian only lets Erguirong fight on its own. Even so, Erguirong can still react and attack extremely quickly.

Even Qinglu would admire his agility and kicking.

"This Pokémon has great potential! If I can continue to train it well, it might be able to compete with my Pokémon in the future!"

Even the same Pokémon can be divided into two categories, suitable for battle or unsuitable for battle, in the eyes of trainers, based on their different personalities and abilities.

And Erguiyan is undoubtedly the type that is most suitable for fighting.

"But you can't really tell from the outside."

Qinglu looked at Erguiyan after he took off his mask, and his interest grew.

"A Pokémon that uses a mask to fight, and the mask is made of Padiya's Taijing crystal. This is truly an unprecedented discovery."

"So, is Mr. Qinglu willing to accept the commission?"

Even without the heavy ball, just the possibility of exploring the evil spirit would arouse Qinglu's interest, but it would be even better if he could get some reward.

"Of course, I haven't been out as a trainer for a long time."

Qinglu grinned and stretched out his hand towards Nanxian.

"You can give me the heavy ball now."

"——I, Qinglu, will accept this commission!"

Use a special heavy ball as a reward to obtain the Taijing crystals in the Padiya region.

When Nan Xian put the heavy ball back into Qinglu's hand, both of them got a result that satisfied each other.

The next step is to compile an illustration and introduction for Erguilang, but before that, Nanxian still needs to tell Qinglu about Erguilang’s past.

A conversation.

Qinglu frowned.

The legend of the evil spirits in Kitakami Township, the three treasures that guard the village, and the current situation of Kitakami Township...

"You mean that Eruption is a legendary Pokémon?"

Qinglu obtained unexpected information.

"I'm just saying maybe."

Nan Xian made a correction.

"These are the information I got after my investigation. As for the true identity of Ergui, it should be determined by you, Mr. Qinglu."

"However, no matter what the truth is, I will not let Erguiyan suffer any injustice."

Whether it is the false Kitakami-go legend or the true history, both mention that the companions took away the mask of Erkuro.

Nanxian and Qinglu don't know the truth about the legend of Beishang Township, but they both come to the same conclusion.

——Ancient history itself has the possibility of distortion, and whether Erguiyan is the evil ghost in the legend remains to be discussed.

As for Qinglu personally, he is still inclined to believe it.

That's why Qinglu finds it troublesome.

Looking at the laughing mask placed next to Eruption, Qinglu's originally relaxed eyes became serious.

"…Although it may be troublesome, do you really not need me to help you get those masks back?"

“Please don’t do anything extra.”

Nan Xian held Erguilang in his arms and looked at Qinglu quietly. Although her tone was calm, Qinglu could still sense the girl's seriousness.

"I told you the possible identity of Erguiyan only so that you, Mr. Qinglu, can have a more comprehensive understanding of Erguiyan. But if I had to choose, I would never want Erguiyan to become the evil ghost in the legend of Beishang Township."

After hearing these words, Qinglu completely understood Nanxian's thoughts.

——She wanted to make a complete cut between Erguilang and Beishang Township.

The mask is gone, so I can just make another one, that's why Nan Xian asked me to do the commission.

But if Erguiyan is linked to the mask left behind in Kitakami Township, it will undoubtedly push Erguiyan back into the bad memories of the past.

What is truly the better choice for Erguiyan?

Looking at Erkuei who was now smiling beside the girl, Qinglu vaguely came to the answer in his heart.

"Okay... I understand."

Qinglu rubbed his eyebrows, and after a moment, his face returned to his usual confident smile.

The legend of Beishang Township is closely related to the local tourism performance. How can a young girl like Nanxian bear the pressure of uncovering the truth?

"Although it sounds troublesome, to solve this kind of trouble, it turns out that I, Qinglu, have to take action!"

Qinglu stood up.

The brown-haired young man, with his back to the sun, warned the girl.

"However, the truth that is discovered next will have nothing to do with you."

"The Pokémon next to you is just named Uruk-Ku by you. The rest of the information is filled in by me, Green."

"——Nan Xian, do you understand?"

Hearing such an awkward and indirect declaration.

Nan Xian couldn't help but smile.

"Of course, I'm just a craftsman in training."

"The trainer's affairs and the researcher's affairs have nothing to do with me."

The two confirmed each other's messages and laughed at the same time.

Erguiyan, who was stuck in the middle, didn't know why everyone was laughing suddenly, but he joined in the fun.

"Bonnie oh~!"

Although there was a little surprise in the middle.

At this moment, Nan Xian was finally sure that no one could take Erguiyan away from her, and she would protect Erguiyan.

To hell with all those evil ghost legends.

The Erguiyan that Nan Xian knew, from now on, would always be just Erguiyan.

Chapter 56: Traveling with Erguiyan (End of Volume)

The next day, as soon as Nan Xian got up, he was blocked by Long Gong at the door of his room.

"Good morning!"

The blue-haired girl grumbled loudly.

Nan Xian didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong, but in order to avoid other people's curious gazes, he had no choice but to let Long Gong walk into the room.

"Where's the Eruption?"

"It's still sleeping. It's not time for it to get up yet."

"That's it."

Long Gong's expression looked a little regretful.

"I wanted to say goodbye to it before leaving, but since it didn't get up, there's nothing I can do."

According to the escort commission issued by Nanxian, Longgong had already completed the mission as early as when he returned to Manjin City.

Therefore, now Ryugu has no reason to stay any longer, she wants to continue her journey of challenging the gym.

"Hehe, next time we meet, I will make you look at me with new eyes!"

"Well, come on."

Nan Xian yawned.

Although somewhat dissatisfied with Nan Xian's frivolous attitude, Long Gong, who had just suffered a defeat yesterday, decided to swallow his anger for the time being and turned to ask about another matter.

"Speaking of which, where did Senior Qinglu go?"

Yesterday, Nan Xian returned to the Pokémon Center alone, and he didn't see Qinglv until dinner time in Ryugu.

"Mr. Qinglu said we should hurry up and work."

Qinglu, who accepted Nanxian's commission and took on the task of investigating the truth behind the legend of Beishang Township, is now extremely busy.

He had to find a reason to write an email to the Padiya Alliance to apply for Taijing Crystal, and also find a reason to go to Beishang Township.

Qinglu is different from Interpol who often changes his identity to cover his tracks during operations. He has always been upright. When he goes to Beishang Township, he goes there openly so that everyone will know that he has found out the truth.

Nan Xian was very envious of Qinglv's confidence, but she had neither the strength of a champion-level trainer nor Professor Oak as a background.

So just continue to practice as a craftsman and leave the troublesome tasks to Qinglu.

"Even Senior Qinglu has left."

After listening to Nan Xian's brief account of the whole process, Long Gong looked disappointed.

"I thought I could get some more guidance from Senior Qinglu."

"If you have any questions, why don't you just ask your boss or big sister?"

"Oh, it's hard to explain to someone like you who isn't a trainer."

Ryugu pouted.

As the topic gradually came to an end, Long Gong hesitated for a moment, and still brought up the original reason why he came to visit so early in the morning.

"Nan Xian!"

"Ok?"
