Chapter 330 The weird masked Pokémon and the coming crisis

After two hours, the long-awaited sandwich banquet was finally over. It was so salty that I didn’t even know how much water I drank.

After Pipa finished making the sandwiches and fed them to the Mastiff Godfather, he gave the remaining 5 plants of Secret: Salty Seasonings to Hoshino. He knew that the other party had researched on growing seasonings and had made great progress.

“Now there’s just one last thing left!”

"Yes, but regarding the location of Lord Tuzhen, it should be in the Hot Desert area, right?"

Piper wanted to find out more and went over to investigate. He had been there once before, and then he ate a mouthful of sand and almost fell into the quicksand.

The existence of Tu Zhen Treasure Master has always been a mystery, but since the Pseudo Dragon Treasure Master is real, then this guy must be there, and the only thing left is to find a way to find his traces.

Regarding this, Hoshino had only a few guesses. He could only say that the other party was most likely to be in the Baking Desert. After all, when they traveled through there, they often encountered abnormal weather and earthquakes.

However, no matter how much we speculate, we can't directly confirm it. Pipa plans to go there to continue searching after a while. The last step is not to give up here!

Hoshino naturally hopes that the other party can succeed. Anyway, as long as he really finds traces of the Tuzhen Treasure Lord, he can come over to help. No matter where he is, he will fly over immediately...

He glanced at Qishu and Peony, who were still dissatisfied with each other, and then focused on Lillie who was talking to Nemo. He walked over and asked with a smile: "How was the battle?"

"I almost lost."

Nemo responded with a smile, and Lillie sighed softly and said: "Senior is so awesome. She still uses the same Pokémon. We obviously started training at the same time, but she is so far ahead of me."

"Because Senior is a champion. Whether it is fighting or training, you are not comparable to ordinary trainers. Apart from your knowledge, you are basically a novice. If you can catch up, you are already very strong."

As someone who has almost witnessed Lillie's growth from being afraid of Pokémon to now, Hoshino is naturally very aware of the other party's efforts along the way.

Nemo nodded lightly, but did not refute this statement. She then asked: "But do you only have 5 Pokémon now? There is still one missing..."

Lillie responded: "Actually, there is a sixth one, the Little Nebula, but it is not here."

"That's right... I just realized that Little Nebula is not here. Where did that little guy go?"

"It's gone to complete its responsibilities. Maybe it won't come back until the Chinese New Year. Anyway, we can always see each other."

After saying that, Lillie looked at the little Diamond who was asking Sai Fuhao for advice, and continued: "But I do want to conquer it. I particularly like this little Diamond's courage to become stronger for his dreams.

, but I haven’t decided to ask it about it yet, and I don’t know if it will agree.”

Hoshino followed her gaze and said, "Wait a minute, Saifuhao is teaching it something these days, so it's better not to disturb it."

"Um."

At this time, Mudan paid no attention to Qishu anymore. She turned around and asked curiously: "You should be able to tell me now. What are you going to do in Nibel Plateau? It is very dangerous there. If there is any trouble, we can also come to help."

.”

"This..."

Now that everyone is here, Hoshino no longer hides anything, and tells some things that he and Lillie opened a detective agency in the Kalos area and investigated.

After listening, everyone looked very surprised. Has the Kalos region become like this now? Why haven't they heard of it?

Thinking that even Kaluni was powerless to do anything about it, Pipa asked worriedly: "Does that mean you are doing something very dangerous now?"

Hoshino nodded and responded helplessly: "Absolutely, but we are never afraid of trouble. It's just that this incident has little impact on us, but it is very serious for the Carlos region."

"really……"

Nimo's expression was also slightly solemn. After a while of silence, he said: "I may need to report this issue to Miss Yici. The Carlos region borders the Padia region. If there is a problem there, the first one will be affected."

But it’s us Padya!”

With that said, she was about to take out her cell phone Rotom to contact Yeci, but Hoshino shook his head and said, "It's better not to tell her at the moment."

"Why?"

"There is a spy within the Carlos Alliance. If the Padia Alliance intervenes, they will have too many excuses to target them, and the people we really need to deal with may be hidden immediately...unless key evidence can be found.

!”

Lillie responded with a serious expression. After listening, Nemo silently put down her phone.

Because it is true. Two regions are equivalent to two countries. You can't suspect that other countries have weapons of mass destruction and just go there to investigate, right? It's not in compliance with the rules. You need evidence.

"Then what to do?"

"So we come to the Nibel Plateau. As long as we find the location of the Azote Kingdom, we may be able to grasp the key clues..."

Hoshino continued to explain the matter in detail. Qishu, who was pinching Pikachu's face over there, seemed to have thought of something and said: "I seem to have heard of this country. It seems to be a country that specializes in scientific development. It is very powerful!"

"Huh? Tell me!"

Everyone looked at it curiously, Qishu enjoyed the feeling of being watched by everyone, and immediately smiled and said: "Aren't I investigating some legends? I have seen legends about this mysterious country before. Originally, this country was in our area.

But he was frightened by the Pardian Empire nearly a thousand years ago, so he kept a low profile."

"Later, more than 800 years ago, the Orange Grape Academy was established, and then the Padian Empire began to annex surrounding countries to achieve the unification of the Padian region. However, the Azote Kingdom was unwilling to be annexed. Then before the imperial envoy arrived, the entire country relied on technology

The power rose from the ground and left Padia!"

Hearing this, Mudan pushed up her sunglasses frame and couldn't believe it: "Take off on the same spot? What kind of black technology is this? It could have been done hundreds of years ago?"

Qishu waved his sleeves, snorted softly, and said: "If you don't believe it, forget it. Anyway, that's what the legend says. It seems that this country should have flown to the Nibel Plateau to hide, which is usually covered by thick fog.

, it is very difficult to observe the situation, which is also one of the reasons why it is dangerous!”

"This kind of place is very suitable for hiding things. Maybe the Kingdom of Azote is really hidden inside. Anyway, you can reach the Nibel Plateau by climbing a few mountains to the north from Beishang Township. How about we go there tomorrow?"

Pipa had already made a plan, and Nemo immediately expressed that she also wanted to go there. Upon seeing this, Hoshino also told them that he came to them for help.

"To investigate this mysterious force?"

"Yes, there are too few people that Carlos can trust. The best thing is to find some people who are not Carlos to investigate, so that they will not be discovered. But I am just here to ask you..."

Before Hoshino finished speaking, Nimo gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Do you need to say that? This is not just Carlos's business. If those people really succeed and control Carlos, then the next one

It’s definitely us Padya who will suffer!”

"So I've decided this matter. I'm going to ask the principal for leave now. And...Pina, the student union will ask you to take care of it!"

"Eh?"

Suddenly arranged for himself, Pina was still a little unresponsive, but Mudan suddenly said seriously: "Our Tianxing team also needs to participate in this matter. With more people and strength, I will try to invade and control Miare City.

The Internet is here to help you!”

"no problem!"

Seeing that everyone was not afraid at all and were willing to help, Hoshino was very happy. Then he looked at the strange tree over there and said, "You are not allowed to report!"

"Um...can you record the video and play it after the incident is over? Or at the end, let me broadcast it live to increase the popularity?"

"I have no objection to this, but you have to see if the people on Carlos' side agree with it."

"What are you afraid of them doing? I am from the Padiya Alliance. I have nothing to be afraid of because of Internet celebrity traffic. The era of ruthless work has come!"

"..."

Hoshino was relieved after successfully finding his companions to help. They planned to go to the Nibel Plateau tomorrow to find the location of the Azote Kingdom, and then quietly sneak into Miare City to start the operation.

Nemo has successfully asked for leave from the principal. As for the others, it doesn't matter. Even if you run around, the college won't care about you unless something happens to you.

Then she looked at the time, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "But those are things for tomorrow, let's go out and have fun today. During the summer camp, Beishang Township will hold a celebration at this time every day, and it will continue until the end of the summer camp!

"

"A celebration? I haven't participated in it yet."

"Then go and prepare. I heard that there are many stalls selling goods at the festival, so you can buy some special souvenirs from Beishang Township and go back!"

"Then we have to go play!"

Hoshino and Lillie are very interested in this, so they just take this opportunity to relax. The next days may be very stressful...

Since you are going to a festival in Kitakami Township, you must respect the local customs. Residents here will wear kimonos to participate in the celebration.

Although tourists are not required to comply, if you are interested, you can spend money to rent or buy kimonos outside the B&B. The two of them always do as the Romans do, so they went outside and bought two pieces before returning to the room.

Changed clothes.

Hoshino did not peek at Lillie changing clothes. He had never done this kind of thing. He had always treated the other party with great respect. It was not until he heard the other party saying that he could go in that he opened the door and walked in.

But as soon as he entered the door and saw Lillie sitting on a mat not far away, looking at the mirror and putting on her makeup, he couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.

Sensing his movement, Lillie turned sideways and glanced, wondering: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that you are too cute."

"Well... I can see you tomorrow and every day, but I've never heard you say I'm cute."

"Ha ha……"

Seeing her complaining, Hoshino walked forward with a smile. At this time, Lillie was wearing a pink and white kimono with many cherry blossom patterns on it.

She still wore a single ponytail, but she used a pink flower rope decorated with flowers to tie up her long hair, which was very in line with her temperament.

Hoshino came behind her, looked at the mirror, waited for her to put on her makeup, looked at it for a moment, and asked curiously: "I heard that girls can't wear underwear when wearing kimonos? So you are... in a vacuum now?"

"ha?"

Lillie was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Who told you this? I just wore it. It doesn't affect anything. It makes you use less marketing accounts. Or are you expecting something?"

"Haha, is that so..."

Hoshino scratched his hair, feeling that a problem that had puzzled him for many years was finally solved. Sure enough, some beautiful fantasies were all lies.

After putting on makeup, Lillie stood up. She quite liked this kimono. Then she looked at Hoshino, who had not yet changed clothes, and said, "You should hurry up, or do you want me to help you change?"

"I'm not like you. I can change clothes pretty quickly. Just wait for me when you go out."

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside. Senior sister and the others seem to be ready."

"Well, go ahead."

Watching Lillie leave the room, Hoshino also took out the kimono he bought and put it on. Only then did he suddenly realize that there were some strange patterns on the kimono, which seemed to be patterns of monkeys, chickens, and dogs?

"This pattern is quite interesting..."

He just bought something casually and didn't look at too much. After all, he has always been more casual. After putting on this blue kimono, he went out with Xinye Miao...

At this time, Beishang Township has been shrouded in night, but the lights everywhere are very lively. It is completely different from the neon scenery of those big cities. This is the lively atmosphere of the countryside.

Nemo and the others had already changed their clothes, and then walked with everyone towards a mountain in the middle of the village. There was a shrine enshrining the three heroes on that mountain, and the celebration was held on the mountain. There were many things to play in it.

.

I heard that there is a natural hot spring in Kitakami Township, but it is not open this season... Actually, it is because there are too many students coming to the summer camp, and the hot spring is not a tourist item, so I am worried that it will be full.

That hot spring is only used by villagers occasionally to take a bath. Other times, it is mostly used by nearby wild Pokémon. The villagers here are relatively simple and unwilling to destroy this natural environment.

When everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain, there were already villagers setting up stalls here. Going up the middle stairs and passing through the torii, there would be such stalls wherever there was open space along the way.

There is a sign posted at the foot of the mountain, telling everyone not to run into the woods at will. It is easy to lose your way if you run around in it at night, and there are also wild Pokémon.

"Let's go up and play!"

"Um!"

Follow the stairs through the torii gate and head towards the upper shrine. You can see some lanterns with many attribute patterns hanging on the roadside.

Just next to every lantern with an attribute pattern, a green pattern lantern with long horns will appear. It is said that this pattern represents Beishang Township, but no one knows its specific meaning.

After reaching the top of the mountain, the excitement of the celebration finally emerged. There were many tourists standing in front of many stalls here, and even some wild Pokémon participated.

Seeing this scene, Qishu couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, ran over and started live broadcasting, and other members of the Tianxing team also participated.

"It's really lively."

Hoshino couldn't help but sigh, but at this moment, a cold female voice suddenly came from not far away: "Does it need to be said? After all, this is the most lively time in Beishang Township. Our village attaches great importance to this kind of celebration, not you guys.

Outsiders can understand."

"..."

Hearing the sound, several people looked over and saw that Danyu and Wuli, whom they had met in the afternoon, had changed their clothes and came here, but she didn't seem to like people outside the Padiya area very much.

Nemo said hello to them, but Hoshino was too lazy to pay attention to these people. He didn't want his mood to be disturbed, so after saying this, he took Lillie and left, preparing for the two of them to go shopping with their Pokémon.

"this……"

Seeing them leaving, Nemo wanted to chase them, but was stopped by Pipa and Peony. When couples go shopping, they shouldn't go there and act like light bulbs.

Pikachu did not follow them, but wandered by himself. The atmosphere of the celebration here made it very curious and wanted to know more...

Leaving there, Lillie looked at Hoshino helplessly and said, "You really are, don't talk nonsense next time. If such a thing happens, just leave it to me to solve it."

"This has nothing to do with me, right? You see, it's because people come here to see me unhappy."

"Okay, okay, let's have fun at the celebration. There's goldfish fishing there, do you want to go?"

Lillie changed the topic and pointed to a stall not far away where fish were fished for goldfish. It seemed quite lively, with many students fishing there.

"Okay."

Hoshino didn't have any objections, so he went with him. There was really no need to think about being unhappy.

The two came to the goldfish fishing stall and saw that it was a large inflatable pool with many horned goldfish and king carp in it. Even if they looked carefully, they found a different-colored golden carp!

The rules for catching fish are also very simple. It depends on how many times you can catch the fish before the fishing net is broken. However, the Pokémon you catch cannot be taken away and can only be thrown into the pool next to it. After the celebration, these Pokémon will leave.

, considered a staff member here.

"Let me be healthy... catch the horned goldfish and give you prizes based on the number. If you catch the Magikarp, you will get no prize. If you catch the gold Magikarp, you will be given a grand prize... What did the Magikarp do to be treated differently like this?"

Lillie looked at the rules next to her and was a little confused. After looking at them for a while, Hoshino said: "The scales of Carp King are too hard, so they are not for you to catch. The fishing net cannot hold it. It is better to say that these guys are thunder."

, you can just catch the angle goldfish."

"So that's it, okay then."

The two waited for a while, and after seeing that Meow Meow had not caught any fish, it was their turn. Lillie took the fishing net and started fishing directly.

But every time she almost caught a horned goldfish, a carp would jump into her fishing net, and then the net would be broken by the opponent's struggle. She tried several times in a row, but the result was the same.

"So angry!"

She was still sympathizing with King Magikarp just now. Now she really wants Iron Bundle to pump water and catch fish. Then she looked at Hoshino and said, "I'll leave it to you!"

"I'm an air force guy. If you can't catch fish, it's useless for you to expect me to help you find a place."

"Meow!"

The new leaf cat jumped out of Hoshino's arms, grabbed the pole of the fishing net with its mouth, and then jumped up and down above the pool at lightning speed, instantly attracting the attention of the onlookers.

In a moment, all the horned goldfish in the entire pond had been moved to the next pond, and there was even a golden carp in it!

"..."

For a moment, the scene was completely silent. Some Pokémon who had also tried to catch fish were completely stunned, but soon some people applauded, and Lillie followed suit and smiled.

"Cat cats are so awesome~"

"Meow~"

Xinye Miao raised her head proudly. Did you see that this is the gap between you and me?

After taking away the grand prize...an oversized Pippin doll, the two of them continued shopping with their Pokémon. In addition to these playthings, the celebration also had a lot of delicious food, all of which were specialties from Beishang Township.

Milton liked the taste of the food here very much. Whenever he saw a food stall, he would drag Hoshino over to buy some before leaving.

It can be said that they all had a great time and kept walking towards the shrine.

Suddenly, Lillie found a stall selling masks, and remembered the legend of Kitakami Township that Qishu told, so she took Hoshino there.

"Let's buy some masks. These masks are pretty good-looking and there are many kinds..."

She took a casual look and saw that there were Pikachu's masks and Eevee's masks...but there were several masks that she didn't recognize, and there were many of them.

There is a pink mask that looks like a chicken, a green mask that looks like a dog, and a blue mask that looks like a monkey. They are very strange...

In addition, there is also a very scary green mask, a bit like a laughing evil ghost, with a cross crystal pattern on its forehead.

Seeing her confusion, the mask seller explained with a smile: "These three masks are the heroes who protect our Beishang Township. They are very beautiful. And the scary-looking mask is the evil ghost defeated by the hero. Look.

Which one do you like?"

"I see……"

Lillie nodded lightly, no wonder she didn't recognize it, but she didn't like the styles of these three masks, so she didn't choose one, but chose a mask of Alola Vulpix, which was cute.

When she was choosing a mask, Hoshino was also watching. He didn't care much about the hero masks, but he was interested in a white fox mask, which was made by Zoroark. He didn't expect that there was one.

"The Cursed Fox Mask... I want this!"

"The customer is really discerning. This mask sells better than those hero masks. This is the only one left."

"Looks like I'm lucky~"

He chose this mask, and then put it on his head sideways. He was in a full-on Sha Tsui style. He had been using illusions to hide himself, and then followed Zoroark beside him. He was quite surprised when he saw it.

After Hoshino noticed it, he looked at it and said: "Dispel the illusion, no one will be afraid of you in this place, and you heard it just now, everyone likes the cursed fox mask in your avatar."

"Woo..."

Zoroark shook his head, because the style here was too similar to that of the Xicui area, and it reminded him of the past when humans were afraid of them because of the legend of the cursed fox, so he instinctively didn't want others to see him.

It didn't want to take the initiative to show up, and Hoshino had no choice. Then he prepared to move on and go to the shrine to have a look. Lillie also put the Vulpix mask on the side of her head, just right and left with Hoshino.

, very suitable.

"Now there are two foxes~"

"Ha ha."

"Meow~"

Xinye Miao meowed softly, feeling that foxes are not as good as cats, but cats are cuter...

They came all the way to the front of the shrine, and there were a lot less people here. Naturally, the residents of the north village would not disturb this kind of place where gods are worshiped, but some people still visited here.

The shrine is not very big, but there is a rope blocking the front, and a signboard is erected next to it, prohibiting casual entry to prevent tourists from damaging the things inside.

But standing here, with the help of the falling moonlight, I can see very clearly that there are three stone statues less than half a meter in size enshrined here. It can also be seen from the appearance that these three stone statues have the shadow of monkeys, chickens and dogs.

, with a purple scroll wrapped around his body.

Lillie took a photo curiously, then turned sideways, looked at Hoshino and asked: "Do you believe these legendary heroes really exist? Or are they fabricated?"

"Not sure, it may or may not exist, but at least the legend has been passed down."

"What are you talking about? If you say it, it means you haven't said it... I really hope that they really exist, so that there will be three more new Pokémon."

"Haha, me too..."

Hoshino smiled and was about to respond, but suddenly he seemed to feel something. He subconsciously looked towards the dark woods to the side, which was also blocked by ropes, preventing others from entering.

But just next to a tree he was looking at, there were a few red masses of resentment energy floating, which seemed to be some kind of Pokémon there, and Zoroark also looked over.

"so..."

"Let's go and take a look."

Hoshino was a little curious, so he pulled up the rope and walked into the woods. Lillie followed closely and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong? Did you find something?"

"Look there."

"Um?"

Lillie looked in the direction he pointed, and finally saw clearly that hiding next to the trees were several fluffy white foxes!

"This...is this Zoroa in the green form? Why is it here?"

She was very surprised. It was impossible for space and time distortion to occur here, and weren't all the Zetsusoraya extinct in this era? It couldn't possibly exist, right?

Hoshino looked back at the celebration lights over there and said with a smile: "I don't know, but it seems that he was attracted by the excitement of the celebration, right?"

"..."

Several little foxes looked at it in fear. They didn't expect to be discovered by humans. What should they do next? Run away? Their legs are too weak to run away!

Seeing how scared they were, Zoroark finally lifted the hallucination and appeared. Seeing his sudden appearance, several little foxes seemed to have instant support and security, and immediately jumped on him.

This is their natural instinct. Even if Zoroak is someone he doesn't know at all, Zoroa will not hesitate to let him protect him, and Zoroa will also protect them.

Seeing the little fox getting into the big fox's hair, and then sticking its head out to look around blankly, Lillie's heart almost melted, and she couldn't help but stretched out her hand: "It's so cute~ Let me touch it~"

"Don't get bitten."

Hoshino caught her hand. It was obvious that these little foxes had sneaked out. If their scent got stuck on them, their parents would not let go of anyone who touched their children and would definitely hunt them down.

After hearing the explanation, Lillie shook her head with regret, while Hoshino looked at Zoroark and said: "I will leave these little guys to you to take care of them for a while. Take them to the celebration. If you don't have money, just ask for help."

Saifuhao, he, Gengar, Iron Baggage, and Machado are all fishing for goldfish over there."

"..."

Zoroark didn't want to go, but the little foxes above him wanted to go to the celebration, so they had no choice but to agree with a sigh, because they recalled that they had let their mothers take them everywhere to play in the same way in the past.

Seeing that it was finally willing to show up to play at the celebration, Hoshino nodded and continued: "Don't lose them when playing. If their parents come to find them, just explain them truthfully."

"Woo!"

Zoroark nodded, and then took a few little foxes over.

Seeing this, Hoshino also nodded happily. Lillie seemed to understand something and said, "You are really worried."

"As long as they can have fun."

"This is you. Let's go back. This forest always feels eerie."

Lillie looked at the dim scenery around her and shivered inexplicably, then she pulled Hoshino away from here and returned to the vicinity of the shrine.

Millarton walked behind them, but he didn't take more than two steps. He seemed to feel a familiar sight again, and subconsciously turned his head to glance at the darkness in the distance, showing a puzzled expression.

"Mo Lizard?"

"What happened again?"

"Mo Lizard..."

Milton shook his head and did not continue to care. He slipped under the rope, glanced at the Popper dolphin who was staring at the statue in a daze at the shrine, and continued to visit the celebration with the two of them.

But after they left, a cross star crystal color suddenly lit up in the dark woods!

Then below it is another pair of eyes with the same flashing color, and six blade-like lights slowly light up, full of mysterious atmosphere.

Under these bright lights, it finally revealed a little dark green outline in the dimness, which seemed to be a ghost-like smiling face...

The celebration was still going on, and Pikachu was walking around alone. Fortunately, Hoshino gave it an advance advance on its salary at the detective agency, so it didn't have to just watch.

It came all the way to the vicinity of the shrine, just in time to miss the two people who left. Then it walked to Popper's dolphin and asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"

"Yiwu!"

Popper's dolphin pointed at the three statues enshrined there. As heroes, it could feel that these heroes seemed to really exist!

Hearing what it said, Pikachu didn't laugh at it, but just followed along and silently looked at the statues. But at this time, it seemed to have noticed something, and subconsciously looked at a few humans not far away.

I saw that those guys were not wearing kimonos like the others, and they didn't look like students at all. It would be understandable if they were ordinary tourists, but there seemed to be something wrong with these people.

"Pica..."

Pikachu squinted his eyes, perhaps because his instinct as a detective finally broke out. He just felt that these people were a little different from the other nearby tourists who were also watching the shrine.

Because these people were relatively close, they seemed to be chatting in low voices, but they did not forget to look around casually to prevent anyone from eavesdropping. Moreover, their postures and movements were also quite different, as if they were trying their best.

Pretending to be an ordinary tourist doesn't look natural at all.

This inexplicably reminded Pikachu of the guys who were chasing him back then. They were so similar! Very similar!

"Could it be them..."

It was unsure, so after pushing Popper's dolphin, he took off his detective uniform and handed it to the other party, then pretended to be a passing wild Pikachu and quietly approached it.

But as soon as it approached, one of them noticed its approach from time to time by observing the people around him, so he quickly whispered to his companions.

Then everyone else looked over, and one of them said: "It's just a yellow-skinned mouse. It looks very weak. Don't worry about it. If you think it's suspicious, just kick it out."

"Um!"

The other person nodded, and before Pikachu could react, the other party grabbed it by the tail after observing the surroundings, and then kicked it towards the woods, directly hitting the vital part of the abdomen. The intense pain caused it to faint on the spot, and it was hit.

On the tree.

After doing all this, these people acted like nothing happened. They did not treat Pikachu as a Pokémon at all. Instead, they treated Pikachu like a wild mouse on the roadside. No one would care about it even if it was trampled to death.

Then they continued to talk. The man who kicked Pikachu just wiped his hands and shoes with a rag and said, "I've been staring at these statues for so many days and I haven't seen anything strange. Who said that?"

Maybe it will appear during the celebration? I think it’s better to go directly to the Padia Pit to find it, and then capture the Zero Area!”

"Stop talking about this. Our mission is to obey orders and arrangements. All of this is for our Azote Kingdom to be able to regain..."

Before the man finished speaking, he suddenly heard the cry of a dolphin not far away!

"Yiwu!"

The popper dolphin's body was wrapped in the water flow, and the jet punch was directly attacked. Before several people could react, they were knocked out by the impact of the extremely fast water flow and fell into the woods without knowing where to go.

Just now, Pikachu suddenly handed over his clothes to it, before it could react. Unexpectedly, it saw Pikachu being bullied by these guys.

Although it has not had much communication with Pikachu, and has only been together for about a week, and is not even familiar with it, but when it sees its companion being bullied, its heart of justice bursts out!

"Yiwu!"

Popper's dolphin was very angry now. It did not continue to chase those who were knocked away, but looked at the injured Pikachu over there and rescued it.

But its actions and its righteous heart to protect others seemed to be noticed by something. When passing in front of the shrine, there was a sudden movement from the stone statue.

"Yiwu?"

Popper's dolphin looked back, but didn't see anything, so he continued dragging Pikachu to find Hoshino and the others for treatment...

After a while, under Gengar's treatment, Pikachu gradually woke up, but still subconsciously covered his stomach.

After letting it slow down, Hoshino on the side asked calmly: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay... I just feel like I'm really too weak, even though I'm so strong in the diary."

Pikachu shook his head. He just felt that if he had the strength, there would be no need to sneak closer to Pikachu? He would just stun them all and drag them away for interrogation.

Seeing its appearance, Hoshino continued to ask calmly: "Where is that guy who kicked you with his dead hand for no reason? If you look clearly, I asked Milton to turn into the old man and kick him."

"Mo Lizard!"

"..."

Lillie didn't say anything. Normally, she would have said that the other person's words were too extreme, but she didn't want to persuade him now.

Pikachu shook his head. He didn't fully see the faces of those people, but he told some suspicious things about them.

After listening, Hoshino looked a little solemn. After thinking for a moment, he said: "If it is true, it seems that Carlos's mysterious forces have probably begun to take root in Padia!"

"this……"

Lillie didn't dare to think about it anymore. The senior sister had been worried about this matter before, but it turned out that it had already started. Are these people too bold?

Hoshino shook his head. Some people are just like this. They are just a bunch of lunatics. However, he is even more curious. Why do these people appear in this small place in Beishang Township? Or is there something else that exists here?

In response to his doubts, Pikachu immediately said: "Those people have been staring at the statue of the shrine... I'm afraid this has something to do with the legend told by the little Magnemite in the afternoon!"

"The story Qishu told...couldn't it be true? The purpose of those heroes in Beishang Township is to capture them?"

Hoshino could only think of this at the moment. It was a pity that the people were beaten away by Popper's dolphins. Otherwise, he would have captured them all and let Zoroark interrogate them casually using illusions, and everything would be clear.

"Translation woo..."

Popper's dolphin looked innocent, why did he blame me? I don't understand.

Hoshino patted its head gently and said: "No one blames you. As long as they don't kill anyone, those guys will definitely come back. It seems that we may not be able to go to the Nibel Plateau tomorrow."

"yes……"

Lillie also knew that these strange guys must be caught. It was a rare opportunity to finally catch up with the implementation of their plan. She must not miss it!

And one more thing, there are quite a lot of people in the Kitakami Township Tianxing team now. If they spread out a little to help, I don’t believe they can’t catch these guys!

So she looked at Hoshino and said: "I'm going to inform my senior sister and the others now. Maybe some of these strange guys will sneak into the tourists. Be careful. These guys are very cunning!"

"Don't worry, we have Zoroark and Marshado here. As long as we confirm the target, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it is impossible to let him escape!"

As he spoke, Hoshino looked at the tourists attending the celebration, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a sneer: "The game of cat and mouse has begun!"
