Pokémon: Shiny Attractor

The next day, Wutong was on the verge of a big fight.

Wutong, riding on the crystal rock snake on the sea, was heading to the last gym of the Orange League, Liugan Island, where the Liugan gym was located.

"There's a call~ There's a call, Lotom~!" The mobile Rotom suddenly flew out and circled Wutong.

"Is it from grandpa and grandma? Could it be!? Side quest!" Wutong said as he looked at the caller displayed on the screen of the mobile Rotom.

After all, Wutong would call Aquan and Xingzi to report safety after each gym challenge, so the sudden call must be something.

Wutong looked at the mobile Rotom and felt a big exclamation mark appear above its head.

"Xiaotong~Are you going to Liugan Island now?" After answering the phone, Xingzi's face appeared on the screen.

"Yes, grandma, what's wrong?" Wutong asked.

"Well, you should pass by Asia Island. There is a celebration there. An old friend of mine is also there. You can go and relax. It is important to combine work and rest. And my old friend seems to be in trouble. If you can, help her." Xingzi said.

"Okay grandma, I am also very interested in this celebration." Wutong replied happily.

As for helping, it probably won't be a particularly difficult thing, otherwise grandma wouldn't let him help.

"Then you have to have fun~ Take care of your body..." Xingzi hung up the phone after telling a lot of things.

"Asia Island, speaking of that thing, is it about to happen?" Wutong started thinking after hanging up the phone.

If I remember correctly, the second theatrical version of the anime, Lugia's explosion happened after Xiaozhi challenged the Yuzu Gym, and it should be about the same time.

Although this movie is also quite dangerous, you can't miss the chance to see Lugia.

"It's decided, Rotom, re-navigate, we're going to Asia Island!" Wutong said to Rotom on his phone.

"Start re-planning the route Loto~ Target Asia Island Loto~" After hearing what Wutong said, Rotom on his phone modified the navigation target.

After more than half a day, Wutong successfully arrived at Asia Island, the cultural center of the Orange Islands and also the island of celebration.

"It's really a lively atmosphere before the celebration." Wutong said to himself while walking in the town of Asia Island.

At this time, Wutong was trying to find the friend of grandma according to the address given by grandma.

However, in less than a minute, Wutong gave up. Sure enough, it's not so easy to cure a road idiot. It's better to find a reliable person to lead the way before getting lost outside the town.

"Hello, do you know where the Apple Shrine is?" Wutong found an old lady who looked easy to talk to and asked.

"Ping Ke Shrine? Oh, I remember. Are you going to that shrine? Or I can recommend you some other shrines?" the old lady said.

"What's wrong with this Ping Ke Shrine?" Wutong asked curiously.

"As the cultural center of the Orange Islands, our Asia Island often holds various celebrations. Because there are many celebrations, there are also many shrines on Asia Island. However, this Ping Ke Shrine has been very sluggish. I even heard that even the celebration shrine maidens can't be found this year." The old lady explained.

"What are celebration shrine maidens?" Wutong felt like he had discovered a new world. These are the customs and practices that have never been reflected in anime. It's really curious.

"Although our Asia Island will hold various celebrations, the legendary celebration is the most important to us. In order to elect the festival shrine maiden of the legendary celebration, each shrine will send a celebration shrine maiden to compete, and the final winner can serve as the festival shrine maiden of the legendary celebration." The old lady explained patiently.

"But the Pingke Shrine hasn't had a shrine maiden for many years, and there may not even be a shrine maiden for the festival this year. If this continues, the shrine may close down next year." The old lady continued.

"So that's the case. Thank you for telling me so much, but I still want to go to the Pingke Shrine. After all, I have agreed with my family to go and see it." Wutong said firmly.

"Is that so? You are really a good child. I just happen to have nothing to do, so I will take you to the Pingke Shrine." The old lady said enthusiastically.

"Really? Thank you so much!" Wutong said happily.

Under the guidance of the enthusiastic old lady, Wutong came to the Pingke Shrine.

"Look, just

This is it, isn't it desolate?" The old lady pointed to the dilapidated shrine in front of her and said.

"It is indeed desolate." Wutong nodded in agreement as he looked at the Torii gate in front of him that had faded severely due to years of disrepair.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. If you want to go to another shrine, come find me again~" The old lady said and left.

After watching the old lady leave, Wutong walked into Pingke Shrine with his head held high.

After entering Pingke Shrine, an old man in a shrine maiden's costume was cleaning the courtyard.

"Hello, is this Grandma Taozi?" Wutong walked up and asked.

"Ah~ Long-lost guest, lovely little girl, do you want to worship or pray?" The old man turned around and said kindly.

"Excuse me, I'm a man, I'm Xingzi's grandson. I heard that you've been in trouble recently, and my grandma asked me to come and see if there's anything I can help with. "Wutong asked.

"Oh~ So you are Xingzi's grandson. I'm so sorry. My eyesight is not very good. Have you eaten? Is it cold? How is Xingzi now..." After hearing Wutong's self-introduction, Taozi talked nonstop.

Wutong had no choice but to answer one by one. Fortunately, Taozi knew that it was not good to stand outside all the time, so she took Wutong into the house.

"Xingzi is still as enthusiastic as before~" Taozi knelt on a cushion on the tatami in the house, holding a teacup in her hand and said kindly.

"Yes, grandma has always been very enthusiastic and likes to help others. "Wutong sat cross-legged with a cup of hot tea in his hand.

After a while of conversation, Wutong also roughly understood Taozi's personality, which was very kind and steady.

She always had a smiling face, as if nothing could make her angry, but her temper might be a little too slow, which sometimes made people a little worried.

"But Xiaotong, it's hard for you to help me with my troubles~" Taozi said slowly while drinking tea.

Seeing Taozi's unhurried look, Wutong almost thought that Taozi didn't have any troubles.

"It's okay, Grandma Taozi, although my ability is limited, I will do my best to help you, after all, you are my grandma's friend." Wutong said.

"Oh~ Really, that's great~ Then I'll leave it to you, Xiaotong~" Taozi said happily after hearing Wutong's words.

However, Wutong would soon regret his promise. Sure enough, promises cannot be made casually.
