Chapter 455: The Fifth "True God"
Chapter 455: The Fifth "True God"
"Poffin, a Balloon Pokemon with Normal and Fairy attributes. It's said that Poffin's song has a soothing effect, making it a popular choice for lullabies. Loto!"
Lotoom's Pokedex flew out of the pocket, reporting on Poffin's information.
Poffin was nothing special.
On the contrary, Poffin was a Pokemon loved by many due to its adorable appearance.
Moreover, as a Balloon Pokemon, its body could inflate like a balloon, and even lighter trainers could use it as a flying mount.
It could be considered a "multi-functional" Pokemon to some extent.
However, the Poffin before them, the one holding a small microphone, was different.
Its Hypnosis song covered the entire area without any blind spots, and its hypnosis success rate was a staggering 100%!
It was common knowledge that the Pokemon world had four true gods—the God of Pika, the God of Duck, the God of Fruit, and the God of Bear.
But clearly, they had forgotten about this "God of Song."
If one were to talk about its achievements, it was quite simple.
Every time it appeared, it would sing and put Satoshi, the God of Pika, and other Pokemon to sleep.
Its hypnosis ability was no less impressive than that of the Darkrai in Willow Town! The only time it might be criticized was when facing a Snorlax.
"Bop!"
The Poffin, preparing to perform, noticed that most of the passengers who had disembarked from the cruise ship ignored it, which instantly angered it.
It grabbed the shirt of a tourist walking in front, who had just nonchalantly passed by, and pulled him back.
"This Poffin..."
But the tourist didn't seem to mind, only smiling wryly.
There was nothing he could do; after all, Poffin was adorable. The people around also smiled warmly, but still, few took Poffin seriously.
"Bop!"
Poffin's cheeks puffed up instantly.
A young man with a short temper was pulled by Poffin, and he too became irritated.
Unlike others who indulged Poffin because of its cuteness, he wouldn't tolerate such behavior.
Without hesitation, he threw out a Poke Ball.
"How dare you pull me! Go, Rampardos, show it who's boss!"
"Dacchi!"
The young man's Rampardos charged towards Poffin.
"Bop—Bop!"
Poffin became angrier, its plump body turning red with rage.
Without hesitation, it unleashed Rapid Slap on the approaching Rampardos, accompanied by the sound of "Slap! Slap! Slap!"
"Bop! (○｀)○☆)o/"
"Dacchi!!"
Rampardos didn't even have a chance to react before Poffin grabbed its neck and thrashed it, leaving its cheeks red and teary as it ran back to the young man.
"You!"
The young man was also furious. He hugged Rampardos protectively and pointed at Poffin, shouting, "You don't hit people in the face! Hitting the face hurts!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Poffin glared at him with anger, and his voice immediately softened.
"Gengai?"
Gramps looked at Jinghe, who was standing quietly at the scene, then glanced at the Poffin at the exit, scratching his head in confusion.
Was it about to sing?
Jinghe nodded with a peculiar expression, "I didn't expect to encounter it here."
Gramps immediately became spirited upon seeing this.
Singing was his forte!
But before he could move forward, Jinghe grabbed the horn on his back.
"Gengai?"
Gramps looked at him questioningly once more.
Jinghe's mouth twitched, and after taking a breath, he said, "Never mind, Gramps. Poffin's singing might get it some graffiti, but your singing could be life-threatening."
"Gengai!"
Gramps immediately crossed his arms and tilted his head back, staring at Jinghe with defiance.
Am I not better than it?
"Yes, yes, you're the best," Jinghe placated him with a few words.
"Giggle giggle~"
Gramps laughed triumphantly, hugging his chest with his arms and lightly shaking one leg while standing on the other.
As a more formidable "Singing Pokemon," he should appreciate Poffin's song and then critique it, shouldn't he?
"Little Poffin, I have something to attend to. Here's a candy; please don't cause any more trouble."
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit, holding a briefcase and looking like an elite white-collar worker, took out a candy from his pocket and said with a smile, "Here you go."
He had the demeanor of a father soothing his daughter.
"Bop!"
Poffin lowered its eyes, staring intently at the man, making him feel a bit uneasy.
"Hehe, it seems Poffin wants to perform for us. Let's watch, it won't take long."
An elderly gentleman with graying hair, holding his wife's hand, smiled and said, "Let's enjoy the show. It won't take more than a few minutes."
The crowd seemed to have no better option but to agree with the elderly couple.
Jinghe nodded, a hint of a smile on his face. He took out a candy from his pocket and tossed it to Poffin, who caught it with its mouth.
"Bop!"
Poffin's eyes lit up as it caught the candy, and it began to chew happily.
The crowd watched as Poffin's anger seemed to dissipate with each bite of the candy.
"It seems like Poffin has calmed down. Let's continue our journey."
The crowd resumed their exploration of the area, with Poffin following closely behind, its eyes still fixed on the candy in its mouth.
In this chapter, a Poffin, a male Pokemon, refuses to let the group pass, and since they can't defeat it, they decide to listen to its song. As the elderly man suggested, it's only a matter of minutes, and they consider it a minor delay to their cruise.
Poffin, seeing everyone finally willing to stop and listen, feels delighted and grabs its microphone, eager to perform.
"Bop!"
"Gramps, get a chair."
Jinghe pries Gramps' mouth open, reaches in, and pulls out a foldable camping chair. He sits down comfortably, leaning back and crossing his legs, looking relaxed.
"Gengai?" Gramps rubs his eyes and yawns, unsure of what Jinghe is up to.
Jinghe is curious too. He and Gramps are confident they can handle hypnosis, even if Darkrai tried to hypnotize them. But this Poffin is using its singing for hypnosis, a first for them, and they wonder about its effectiveness.
This Poffin is no ordinary one, so it's best to be prepared. As Jinghe ponders, a gentle and melodious voice fills the air.
"Bop, giggle bop, bop, bop, bop..."
Poffin, holding a small microphone, sings with closed eyes, completely immersed in its own melody.
Jinghe, fully relaxed, feels his eyelids growing heavy, and a wave of tiredness washes over him, making his body go limp as if he could fall asleep at any moment.
"Huh?" Jinghe mutters softly, "This is even more effective than Darkrai's Dark Void."
"Gengai, gengai." Gramps rubs his eyes and yawns again.
If even they are affected, the others and their Pokemon are surely no exception.
"Bop, giggle bop, bop, bop, bop..."
Poffin finishes its immersive song, reveling in its beautiful voice, but the expected applause doesn't come.
It opens its eyes to see everyone around it slumped and fast asleep. It takes a deep breath, and its body puffs up again.
"Bop!!!"
Poffin pulls out a marker from the microphone and dashes to the nearest sleeping person, quickly drawing a silly graffiti expression on their face.
In no time, most people and Pokemon have funny graffiti on their faces, a hilarious sight.
But when Poffin approaches Jinghe, leaning comfortably in his chair with his eyes half-closed, and Gramps, floating nearby with crossed legs, Gramps suddenly opens his eyes.
He was about to make a funny face at Poffin, but the sight of the distorted faces on the ground makes him burst into laughter.
"Gengai, gengai!" Gramps laughs uncontrollably, holding his stomach as tears of laughter stream down his face.
"What's so funny?" Jinghe slowly opens his eyes, and upon seeing the faces on the ground, he can't help but chuckle.
Seeing Poffin's graffiti in person feels even more amusing than on TV.
"Bop, bop?!" Poffin rubs its eyes in disbelief, realizing that Jinghe and Gramps are still awake. It screams in surprise.
Poffin had forgotten how long it had been wandering, performing for people and Pokemon, hoping to find someone or another Pokemon who would listen to its entire song.
Today, it finally found them! And not just one, but two! Poffin is overjoyed and calls out happily, expressing its joy.
Jinghe, leaning on his chin, gently rubs his chin as he watches the delighted Poffin.
Poffin's hypnotic singing is indeed intriguing. If he hadn't been so focused, he might have fallen asleep, only a tiny bit less effective than Darkrai's Dark Void.
However, in terms of indiscriminate hypnosis range, even Darkrai might struggle to match Poffin.
The biggest issue with Hypnosis is its indiscriminate nature; not only does it affect opponents, but even the Trainer attempting to capture it may fall under its spell.
"Gengai~ Gengai~"
Gramps held up one hand and pushed down with the other, signaling to Poffin to calm down a bit.
He cleared his throat lightly.
"Gengai~~" (Ahem, that... your singing is quite something.)
"Bop! Bop!" Poffin's big round eyes lit up, and it nodded vigorously.
Finally, a Pokemon that could appreciate its music!
"Gengai!" (But!)
Gramps had picked up the old-fashioned way of speaking.
Everything before the "but" was just nonsense.
"Gengai~" (The tone could use some work, and the melody is slightly imperfect.)
"Bop?! Bop?!"
Poffin's voice rose again, its face filled with disbelief as it stared at Gramps, its body inflating once more, brimming with anger.
It had finally found someone who could listen to its entire song, and now this someone was saying its song wasn't good!
"Gengai?"
Gramps scratched his ear, puzzled by Poffin's anger.
Did he say something wrong?
While Poffin's song sounded pleasant, and its Hypnosis ability was quite powerful, it lacked... impact.
A song without impact was just a little underwhelming.
In Gramps' opinion, there was this group in the Galar region called "Gloomy Niezi" or something like that, and their electric music band composed of Pokemon was quite impressive.
"Gengai~" (Never mind, let me show you how it's done.)
Gramps sighed softly and moved forward to take the microphone from Poffin.
Bop!
Poffin immediately whipped out its marker and, with lightning speed, drew a ghostly face on Gramps' face.
"Geng, Gengai?"
Gramps was caught off guard for a moment, falling for Poffin's trick.
"Pft—" This time, Jinghe couldn't hold back his laughter and pointed at Gramps.
"Bop! ()"
Scribble, scribble, scribble—
Jinghe's laughter abruptly stopped, and his face also fell victim to Poffin's mischief.
"Bop!"
Poffin let out a cold huff, turned around, and slowly put the marker back into the microphone, executing a move that felt like... a sword-drawing technique!
The only difference was...
While a swordsman's technique involved drawing a sword, Poffin's "sword-drawing technique" involved drawing a marker.
It puffed up its chest and stomped away with a "Bop Bop" rhythm, its anger evident in every step.
Jinghe and Gramps exchanged a glance.
"Gengai~ ()σ"
Seeing Jinghe's face, Gramps couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Jinghe shot him an annoyed look. It was all because of Gramps' careless words, and now he was laughing about it.
"Lucky it's so handsome."
Poffin held no ill intent, so Jinghe and Gramps didn't take it too seriously, and they had inadvertently fallen victim to its prank.
Fortunately, they didn't fall asleep, and the marker ink wasn't too difficult to wipe off.
As a result, they didn't dwell on the encounter with Poffin too much.
Jinghe considered it a minor incident.
However, just because he viewed it as a minor incident didn't mean Poffin saw it the same way.
After running away, the more it thought about it, the angrier it became.
"Bop!"
No way!
It had finally found two listeners who could endure its entire song, and it couldn't just let them go!
If they thought its singing was bad, it would sing until they changed their minds!
Come on, Poffin, you're the best!
With this thought, Poffin clenched its tiny fist and hurriedly followed Jinghe and Gramps with a "Bop Bop" rhythm.
Since they were heading to Leaf Town, Jinghe and Gramps left the port of Gold City and entered again.
They directly purchased tickets for the cruise ship from Gold City to Leaf Town.
What Jinghe didn't know was that as their cruise ship departed the port of Gold City...
A plump, pink little Pokemon, with the last deck plank as its springboard, leaped into the air just as the ship was leaving the harbor.
It seemed destined to fall into the sea, but it took a deep breath, and its body inflated like a balloon, allowing it to land on the railing at the ship's stern.
"Bop!"
Poffin was well-versed in this maneuver, blowing the air in its belly downward to successfully reach the ship's deck.
It clapped its hands in satisfaction.
