I got the Pokémon

Xia You and others also entered the crowd and slowly moved forward together with these tourists.

There were two rows of stalls lined up on the street, selling all kinds of delicious snacks and other gadgets. Xia You saw that Xiaozhi was interested, so she bought a few snacks to share with everyone.

And when she saw Xiaoxia stopping in front of a jewelry stall but leaving silently, Xia You walked to the stall, carefully selected it, bought a hairpin, and gave it to Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia had a smile on her face. Although she didn't say much, it could be seen from her expression that she liked this gift very much.

This festival, just like previous years, was very lively. They walked forward for a while, and even saw a woman dressed up, dancing an exotic dance under the music and people's shouts and cheers.

However, unlike Xia You and the others who were relaxed, Xiaogang had no intention of playing at this time. He lowered his head and followed behind, with a look of lovesickness on his face. It was obvious that he still missed the woman on the dock, and even kept whispering in his mouth.

Talking about something.

"Please wait!"

An old but energetic voice suddenly sounded behind several people.

Xia You turned around and found that she was an old woman with white hair, less than one meter tall, holding a cane, and wearing a purple robe.

This old woman has a big mouth and very dry skin, especially her eyes, which look quite sharp.

Xiaogang was still immersed in the woman's beauty, but when he turned around, he was startled by the old woman's appearance. He was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

"Wow! A... shriveled old kappa appeared!"

"Who is the kappa!?" The old woman cursed angrily, then glanced back and forth at Xia You and Xiaogang, and said with a mysterious face, "Listen up, you must be careful and watch out for beautiful women.

, otherwise you will definitely be unlucky today!”

"What are you talking about!" Xiaoxia opened her mouth, glanced at Xia You quickly, and said with some trepidation, "How could I make him unlucky!"

"Idiot!" the old woman shouted, "I'm talking about a beautiful woman, not a little girl like you!"

"What!? You said I'm a little girl!" Xiaoxia's hair suddenly exploded. Obviously, these words touched her sore spot.

On the side, after hearing the old woman's advice, Xiao Gang was thoughtful. Only Xia You knew that she was actually a fake body transformed by a ghost. At this time, she was just staring at them, so she smiled and said:

She didn't pay too much attention to what she said.

But Xiaoxia didn't want such a rare trip to the festival to be disrupted by this old woman.

"What nonsense! Okay, let's stop talking to her and leave as soon as possible."

With that said, she pushed Xia You's back with one hand, held Xiaogang's ears with the other, turned and left.

The end point of this festival is a shrine at the end of the town.

When Xia You and others followed the crowd to the shrine, they saw an old priest who rang the bells and drums on the hour.

"Everyone, be quiet. The treasures of the Maiden Shrine will be on display now!"

Next to the old priest, there is still a picture scroll erected, but the picture scroll is now covered with white cloth, making it impossible to see clearly what is drawn.

People surrounded the shrine and heard the old priest continue: "This painting is a secret treasure that has been handed down by this shrine since two thousand years ago. It is only displayed once a year during the summer festival. Next,

All guests please watch with your heart!"

As he spoke, he pulled off the white cloth and completely displayed the scroll in front of everyone.

In the picture, there is a portrait of a woman. Her eyes are looking forward and her hands are placed on her chest, as if she is praying.

Although this painting is only in black and white and has no other colors, it still makes people feel the beauty of the woman and the rich sadness.

On the side, Xiaogang was greatly surprised, because the beauty in the portrait was actually the woman in the white dress he saw at the small pier at noon!

The old priest's voice echoed in people's ears like a narrator: "Two thousand years ago, there was a young couple who loved each other very much. However, because of the war, the man had to be drafted into the army and went to sea to fight with the army. Before leaving,

, he made a promise that he would return in triumph after the war was won.

In this way, the woman has been waiting for many years, but in the end, she did not wait for the man's return. The endless waiting turned her into a rock and stood on the cliff. Until now, she has been waiting for him.

man."

This is indeed a sad legend. After listening to it, people can't help but feel depressed.

At this moment, Xiaogang, as if possessed by a demon, suddenly asked: "Excuse me, where is that rock now!?"

"Huh?" The old priest was stunned, "Don't you know Maiden Rock?"

…

Night covers the earth.

On the cliff by the sea, a wooden house was built alone.

When Xia You and the others walked from the mountain road in the rugged area to the cliff and walked around the wooden house, they saw a stone statue of a woman sitting on a cliff offshore.

I don’t know how many years have passed, but this stone statue seems to have been integrated with the cliff.

The waves are crashing on the rocks, and in the distance are the thousands of lights in the town of Maiden Gap. Even though it is far away from the town, you can still vaguely hear the joyful sounds of the celebration coming from there.

And here, it seems that just like that legend, it is full of loneliness.

Looking at the girl's rock, Xiaoxia whispered: "Do you think this rock was really transformed into that woman?"

"Who knows." Xia You shook his head, "At least I didn't see any traces of artificial carving."

It was already ten o'clock at night, and the clouds in the sky suddenly enveloped the moon, and a breeze blew by, bringing a refreshing chill.

Based on intuition, perhaps feeling that something was about to happen, Xia You took out two Poké Balls, and as the blue light flashed, Charmander and Lei Yinbu appeared at his feet.

The fire on the Charmander's tail and the electric current that flashed across Lei Yinbu's body from time to time seemed to not only illuminate the surroundings, but also make him feel particularly at ease.

"There's nothing to see here. Let's go back to the town."

Compared to the busy streets, Xiaoxia naturally didn't want to stay here any longer, but she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, she saw the door of the small house behind her slowly opening.

Creaking…

At first, she thought it was the wind blowing open the door, but the next second, a radiant figure suddenly floated out from inside.

"Yeah! It's a ghost!!"
