Chapter 432: Ghostly Respects
Chapter 432: Ghostly Respects
Sinnoh, Baiyang Town, Gaudi's Garden.
Gaudi's Garden is located directly behind the Time-Space Tower and was also designed and built by the renowned designer, Gaudi.
With the theme of nature, harmony between humans and Pokemon, the garden is home to many Pokemon, creating a beautiful environment and fresh air.
Just moments ago, Jinghe and his group witnessed a somewhat dramatic scene.
Alice hurried to Gaudi's Garden, only to find that Tonyu had gotten lost in the garden.
Baron Albert seemed to look down on Tonyu and proudly introduced Alice to Jinghe as his fiancee.
However, Alice bluntly rejected him, stating that she already had someone she liked. She then hugged Tonyu's arm, silently conveying who that person was.
This caused Tonyu to blush in embarrassment, while Baron Albert was left petrified on the spot.
He felt like a clown.
Angrily, he left the scene.
On the other hand, Jinghe and his companions became acquainted with Alice and Tonyu.
Alice and Sharon began sharing some history about Baiyang Town, Gaudi's Garden, and the Time-Space Tower. For those who study history, this was an irresistible "temptation."
The group started touring Gaudi's Garden.
Jinghe approached the shy Tonyu, attempting to learn about the current situation in Baiyang Town.
Before this, he had summoned all his Pokemon.
Gaudi's Garden was home to numerous Pokemon, many of which had a close relationship with Alice.
For instance, Leekcat, the Kitten family, Lillie, Lila, and Lulu, Mudsdale, Mudkip, Metapod, Metang, and the Beedrill family, among others.
With Gramps, the leader who commands the entire Canaz City's stray Pokemon, Jinghe's Pokemon quickly became friends with them.
As they walked along the water corridor, Lila suddenly fell headfirst into the clear water.
"Lulu~!"
The Swift Dragon immediately performed a "Dive into the Sea" and jumped into the water, splashing a large amount of water and startling Lulu, who was in the water.
When Lulu saw the Swift Dragon standing up, and the pool had lost almost half of its water, she became even more stunned.
"Yoji!"
The Tyrogue saw this and wanted to jump in as well. However, just as it hopped up, Jinghe grabbed its tiny foot and held it upside down in mid-air.
"You better not join in."
Weak Water wanted to go swimming?
It should go back to its initial Bidoof's small bathtub and practice first.
"Yoji."
The Tyrogue hung its head low.
"Lulu~~"
At this moment, the smaller Lulu stood on a circular sculpture and waved at the Tyrogue.
The circular, screw-shaped sculpture resembled a spinning slide, and Lulu sat on it, sliding down while spinning.
"Yoji!"
The previously aggrieved Tyrogue immediately became energized.
It quickly climbed onto the sculpture, sat down, and slid down while spinning.
However, being its first time playing, the Tyrogue's speed was initially too fast, and after finishing, it rolled around on the ground a couple of times before stopping.
But the little guy was tough, feeling no pain and finding it incredibly fun. It quickly got up, patted its bottom twice, and ran back to the sculpture.
For a while, it played with great enthusiasm.
On the other side.
Lillie stood in the middle of the seesaw, with Mudsdale and two Mudkips sitting on one end, waiting for playmates.
"Cha!"
The Gigaforg immediately expressed its desire to play.
"Mari~"
Lillie, standing in the middle of the seesaw to balance both sides, suggested that the Gigaforg was too small and it would be best to find another small Pokemon to accompany it so that the seesaw could be played.
However.
The Gigaforg leaped onto one end of the seesaw.
The next second.
Lillie's expression: (Д≡Д)
Whoosh—Whoosh—Whoosh—
Mudsdale and the two Mudkips, amidst the whooshing sounds, launched into the air.
"Wup? (▽.)"
Mudsdale, flying in mid-air, looked perplexed.
It seemed to be flying.
"Huru!"
The Martial Bear Master clapped its hands and took the stance of a goalkeeper, catching Mudsdale and the two Mudkips as they fell.
Lillie sighed in relief, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"Wup!"
Instead of being scared, the two Mudkips were excited and shouted:
Again! Again!
On the other side.
A flattering Leekcat and Mightyena circled around Ice Nine-Tails.
They seemed to have encountered a goddess, each of them thrilled.
"Woof! Woof!" Mightyena panted excitedly.
"Meow~ Meow~"
Leekcat also faced Ice Nine-Tails, constantly swishing its star-like tail.
Stare! Both of them suddenly realized that the other seemed to be their "rival"! They began to glare at each other.
"Awoo~"
Ice Nine-Tails couldn't help but laugh, gently stroking its tail, which held a tree fruit. It handed the fruit to Leekcat and Mightyena.
It had no choice; it wasn't Gramps, and it didn't have much in stock. It only had this one thawed "Liechi Berry" for emergencies, in case Jinghe accidentally got frozen by it.
However, Ice Nine-Tails didn't expect that the fruit it offered would mean something different to Leekcat and Mightyena.
The next second.
"Woof!"
"Meow!"
The two Pokemon immediately started fighting.
As their battle intensified, the conflict escalated. Leekcat led the Kitten family, and Mightyena led the Poochyena family, each side refusing to back down.
In response, Ice Nine-Tails considered whether to freeze them all to resolve the dispute.
At this moment.
Charcoal Little Servant walked past Ice Nine-Tails and pressed its palm down, signaling for calm.
It was too familiar with this scene.
"Guka!"
It walked between Leekcat and Mightyena under their watchful eyes.
The two of you, give Charcoal a face-saving moment!
Leekcat and Great Houndour were startled, exchanging glances before turning to look at Charcoal Little Servant.
Who the hell are you?
Before the words left their mouths, they saw the flames in Charcoal's eyes turn a faint blue, and an inexplicable chill rose from the depths of Leekcat and Great Houndour's hearts.
"Guka!"
Please, give Charcoal a face-saving moment.
A cold sweat appeared on Leekcat and Great Houndour's foreheads.
This face-saving moment... seems like we have to give it.
Then, without moving, they watched as Charcoal Little Servant split the tree fruit in half, giving one piece to Leekcat and the other to Great Houndour.
The two Pokemon could only accept this outcome.
However, before they could take the fruit and turn around, they suddenly felt an even stronger chill down their spines.
Instinctively, they each broke off a quarter of the fruit and returned it to Charcoal Little Servant.
"Guka~"
The faint blue in Charcoal's eyes turned back to orange, and he waved at them with a smile.
You're welcome, you're welcome~
Leekcat and Great Houndour exchanged glances, both feeling relieved.
It was as if they had just escaped death.
The two, who had been at odds with each other, instantly became "good brothers," leaning on each other's shoulders under Charcoal's watchful gaze.
Charcoal nodded in satisfaction.
Standing on the wisteria platform in Gaudi's Garden, Teacher Jing He witnessed the entire process, his expression slightly odd.
Both Leekcat and Great Houndour were fawning over their Ice Nine-Tailed?
For a moment, he found himself questioning whether foxes belonged to the cat or dog family.
Fortunately, Charcoal had intervened.
Otherwise, Leekcat and Great Houndour would have arrived in pieces! (So tough!)
"Is something wrong?"
At that moment, Tonyu, who was communicating with Teacher Jing He, heard his question and showed a thoughtful expression.
"If I had to say something, it's probably... every once in a while, the residents of Baiyang Town have strange nightmares." Tonyu adjusted his glasses, speaking with his head lowered.
After a pause, he continued, "Some say it's because of the Nightmare God Darkrai in town, but not many people have seen it so far."
So it's still Darkrai.
Not hearing any temporal or spatial disturbances, Teacher Jing He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease.
The Darkrai living in Gaudi's Garden in Baiyang Town had no ill intentions.
On the contrary, it was Baiyang Town's guardian deity.
Although sometimes, it would inevitably cause some people or Pokemon to have nightmares, it wasn't very harmful, and the nightmares weren't terrifying.
This was why Darkrai tried to restrain itself.
However, this Darkrai wasn't Dakudo's, and its strength was not on the same level.
When this Darkrai got serious, it could face off against the two Legendary Pokemon, Timia Luka and Palu Qia!
If that didn't prove its strength, then there was only one other thing.
Its Dark Hole had caused Satoshi to fall into a deep slumber for a long time.
"If I get the chance, I might be able to save it," Teacher Jing He thought.
After all, this was indeed a Pokemon worthy of respect.
Of course, the prerequisite was encountering it and having the ability to do so.
It seemed unlikely that they would encounter it.
A sense of relief.
"By the way, where's Gramps?"
Teacher Jing He's gaze swept across a corner of the garden.
With Gramps' personality, during such a lively time, it should be the one having the most fun.
He couldn't see its shadow jumping around.
And at that moment, Gramps...
"Hengga~"
It tiptoed, pushing aside a dense bush and branches in the garden.
"Let's go back, Rotom."
Rotom, who was filming, felt inexplicably tense.
But Gramps patted its chest to indicate that it was fine, as it was still there.
There would be a problem if it was there. Poor Rotom, thinking but not daring to speak.
"Hengga!"
Found it! Gramps happily called out.
And Rotom stiffened, hovering in place, as it sensed a gaze upon it, a gaze of immense intimidation.
Then they saw.
Beyond the bushes and deep in the grove that Gramps had pushed aside, under the shade of a tree, a Darkrai with gently flowing black and white clouds opened its eyes, seeing them.
The Darkrai's expression turned serious, and it floated up from the ground, its gaze fixed on Gramps and Rotom.
It could sense the presence of at least two of its kind from Gramps.
And what puzzled it was that it also faintly sensed the aura of... Reshiram!
Reshiram!
Other Pokemon might not know what Reshiram was, but it was very clear to it.
Rotom didn't dare move, but Gramps seemed at ease, waving at it in greeting.
Seeing this, Rotom slightly relaxed.
Fortunately, Big Brother Gramps didn't say anything foolish.
But just as this thought arose, Gramps spoke.
"Hengga~"
Hey! I've beaten up two of your kind~ (Hands on hips)
Rotom's expression stiffened again, its heart filled with turmoil—I want to go home, Rotom! (P)
Darkrai didn't speak, but the speed of the black and white clouds flowing around it increased.
Is it here to challenge us?
Then, they saw Gramps curl its tongue, spitting out a box of Energy Blocks and tossing it to Darkrai.
Darkrai instinctively caught it.
Then it looked at Gramps with confusion.
What's the meaning of this?
First, it mocks, then it gives a gift?
Gramps smiled at itself, "Hengga~(▼O▼)/"
From now on, we're friends!
After saying this, it didn't linger, pulling Rotom and heading back.
D
Gramps, on the other hand, smiled and clapped his hands gleefully.
Done!
Darkrai was a bit bewildered, but Gramps seemed quite satisfied.
What's this all about?
This is called paying respects! This is Baiyang Town, Darkrai's territory. After entering the town with Teacher Jinghe for a while, Darkrai had sensed its presence.
Upon arriving at Gaudi's Garden, that feeling became even more pronounced.
As the "leader" of Canaz City, when visiting Baiyang Town, it was natural to pay a visit to the local boss.
In professional terms, this is called paying respects.
Even a mighty dragon wouldn't dare challenge the local boss.
Having entered Darkrai's territory, it was only polite to show respect first.
Gramps was very familiar with these unspoken rules.
After paying their respects, if they wanted to do something in Baiyang Town or accidentally got into some trouble, they wouldn't have to worry.
If Darkrai needed help, within their capabilities, Gramps was willing to lend a hand.
This was called "understanding" and following the "code of conduct"!
Night fell.
Teacher Jinghe and the others had spent the afternoon playing in Gaudi's Garden.
They had initially planned to explore Baiyang Town, but the captivating scenery and intriguing Pokemon in Gaudi's Garden had made the time fly by without them realizing it.
In the end, Teacher Jinghe and his group didn't stay at Baron Albert's mansion.
It wasn't that the mansion was undesirable or that they had any issues with Baron Albert.
It was simply that after meeting Tonyu, Alicia, and Baron Albert, they didn't want to take sides in their complex relationship.
Hmm.
It definitely wasn't because of Baron Albert's narcissism and extreme sycophancy, where after being clearly rejected by Alicia during the day, he invited her to his home in the evening, claiming she was his fiancee.
His bed was huge and round, ahem.
The Baiyang Town Pokemon Center also reflected the town's unique character. Its architectural style was distinctive, and the interior space was vast, with each room being spacious enough for them to rest comfortably.
After feeding Tyrogue, Teacher Jinghe climbed into bed, ready to sleep.
When Gramps turned off the lights, the room was filled with the "huffing" sounds of Martial Bear Master's punches.
The moonlight was bright.
Gramps, lying on the ceiling and covered with a small blanket, suddenly opened his eyes.
In the room, besides Tyrogue and Martial Bear Master, the little ones also opened their eyes one by one, all looking towards the same spot.
They saw a shadow projected onto the window in the moonlight.
Darkrai!
Darkrai's gaze swept past Gramps and landed on the sleeping Teacher Jinghe.
It could also sense the Ice Nine-Tails beside Teacher Jinghe, carrying a very pure "Crescent Feather," a "Crescent Feather" blessed by Cresselia, so pure that even Darkrai couldn't induce nightmares.
"Hngga~"
Gramps lowered his voice and waved at the little ones.
It's okay, friends~
Hearing this, the little ones didn't suspect anything and yawned, then continued to sleep.
Ice Nine-Tails even snuggled into Teacher Jinghe's embrace, gently nudging to find the most comfortable position.
"Enough, enough. Two more billion is enough," Teacher Jinghe muttered.
Darkrai's gaze swept over all the little ones again.
It was fine until it saw them, and it almost immediately wanted to create a Dark Hole.
What kind of Pokemon are these?!
Reshiram's aura, Zekrom's aura, Rayquaza's aura, Lugia's aura, Groudon's aura, Kyurem's aura... Even Ditto's, Mashado's, and the residual psychic power of an unknown Pokemon.
Not to mention the Legendary Birds, Beasts, Mushrooms, and Pillars, which Darkrai didn't even want to mention.
Are these guys a team dedicated to exploiting Legendary Pokemon?
Gramps floated out.
Looking at Darkrai standing on the utility pole, its shadow infinitely elongated, paying tribute to some unknown entity, Gramps immediately took out his sunglasses and draped a small cape over himself.
Hmm, can't lose in terms of aura.
Seeing Gramps' appearance, Darkrai's eyes twitched.
But it still spoke, "You, what are you doing here?"
What are we doing? Gramps scratched his head. "Hngga~"
We're here for a battle. Someone invited us to a friendly match.
A friendly match?
Darkrai breathed a sigh of relief.
It almost thought they were here to catch it.
"Is he your Trainer?" Darkrai's gaze swept over Teacher Jinghe again.
Him? Gramps turned to look at Teacher Jinghe, looking enlightened.
Scratching his bottom, he said, "Hngga~"
Sort of. But he's a Pokemon Psychologist, or a Pokemon Psychology Teacher.
Gramps asked in return, "Hngga?"
What? Do you have psychological issues that need consultation? Someone you miss, or unresolved matters?
But it would have to wait until morning, as Teacher Jinghe was already asleep.
You're the one with psychological issues! Darkrai glared at Gramps.
But inexplicably, deep within its heart, it felt like a string had been gently plucked.
Someone you miss, unresolved matters? Darkrai's heart skipped a beat.
After giving Gramps a deep look, it disappeared into the night.
Gramps shook his head.
It's not like that.
Looking at the utility pole where Darkrai had been standing, Gramps' eyes darted around, and after a sinister smile, he also floated over.
Then, standing at the top of the utility pole, he pulled his cape around himself and slowly crouched down.
His black body merged with the night, and his crimson eyes stood out, vivid and striking.
The moon hung behind him.
Hey, this pose is actually pretty cool, Gramps thought.
I've mastered another pose!
