Chapter 157 Road, Ghost Legend?
Highway 209.
On a huge pontoon bridge.
Ash and his friends originally wanted to go fishing here, but they didn't expect to be challenged by someone while fishing.
More accurately, Xiaoguang was declared war upon.
The person who challenged her was a young fisherman wearing a life jacket, and his reason for challenging Xiaoguang was quite simple—
Xiao Guang has a Water-type Pokémon.
That's right, everyone fishing on this floating bridge is a Water-type Pokémon enthusiast. Or to put it another way, probably every Water-type Pokémon enthusiast is more or less addicted to fishing.
After all, fishing is a process of interaction between Pokémon Trainers and Water-type Pokémon, a peaceful and reassuring experience. And no one knows what kind of Water-type Pokémon will be caught, adding to the mystery.
Of course, it's not just Water-type Pokémon that end up being caught; plastic bottles, packaging bags, discarded boots, rusty metal buckets, and other similar items are all possible targets.
That's the unique charm of fishing.
"This is?"
"The tide swirls..."
"Poga!"
In the water, facing mosquito tadpoles that moved faster than itself, Pogaman unknowingly mastered the use of whirlpools.
A whirlpool rose from the water's surface, and the mosquito coil tadpole, with nowhere to escape, was eventually swept into it. The swirling tide relentlessly drained its already dwindling strength, and before long, the mosquito coil tadpole lost its ability to fight and collapsed unconscious on the water's surface.
"My mosquito coil tadpoles!"
The fishing boy cried out in anguish, then retrieved the defeated mosquito coil tadpoles, looking utterly dejected.
"Um...it's just a simple Pokémon battle, it shouldn't be that big of a deal..."
"No! Losing to you means my cultivation is still far from sufficient!"
Just moments before, the fishing boy was expressing grief and regret over his defeat, but unexpectedly, when Xiao Guang comforted him, he adopted a completely different attitude, which was rather perplexing.
"But then again, now that you have such strength, shouldn't you go and take a look there?"
"There?"
Dawn, Ash, and Brock exchanged glances, unable to understand what the other was referring to as "that place."
"Huh? You didn't know? That's surprising... You all looked so aggressive, I thought you were heading straight for that place."
The fisherman who was playing against Xiaoguang adjusted his hat, then scratched the back of his head in surprise.
Before Xiao Zhi and the others could ask him exactly where he was referring to, one of the anglers behind him began to speak haltingly, a sinister smile on his face:
"Hmph...that place...is where ghosts and monsters dwell...are you sure you want to go?"
Xiao Guang: "...No, we never wanted to..."
"I see. Since you want to go, I'll give you some information about the place!"
This angler who suddenly interrupted was like an NPC in a game, presuming to know what others were thinking while offering some inexplicable information on his own.
Well, it might seem inexplicable, but Ash and his friends were still somewhat interested.
Seeing that Ash and the others had begun to listen attentively to the information he was about to share, the angler's expression became proud, but the next second he reverted to a sinister look.
"Actually... there have been rumors lately about ghosts and monsters appearing near a small village not far ahead..."
"It's just a rumor..."
Xiao Guang initially thought it was something important, but it turned out to be just a rumor.
Although Xiaoguang's trip wasn't long from any perspective, she had already learned that the so-called rumors were just unfounded stories.
She had heard at least ten rumors along the way, but the ones that were eventually confirmed...
Hmm... I don't know if what happened at the Mori Mansion counts.
"Hmm...cough cough!"
The angler noticed Xiao Guang's nonchalant attitude and roughly guessed that his words were becoming less credible in the other person's eyes.
So he coughed lightly and quickly added:
"Of course! This isn't just a rumor! After all, the little village I mentioned was completely destroyed by ghosts and monsters overnight!"
The angler's words finally cheered Xiao Guang up, while Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang behind him exchanged glances.
They have experienced far more similar events than Xiao Guang.
Generally speaking, the vast majority of those things that are called or proven to be ghosts or monsters are actually Pokémon.
To be more precise, they are generally Ghost-type Pokémon.
Ghost-type Pokémon usually only like to play pranks on others; they've never really seen them destroy villages. Could it be that someone in the village provoked it? Or is it for some other reason?
Of course, neither of them ruled out the possibility that the Ghost-type Pokémon was inherently destructive. However, normally, wild Pokémon that like to cause destruction should be controlled by passing trainers or League personnel.
"And it wasn't just the village that was destroyed; most of the villagers were also injured. Although the villagers either sent out their own Pokémon or asked other Pokémon in the forest for help, even so, the difference in strength between them and the legendary, intangible ghost was still too great..."
I heard that some of the younger villagers started heading towards nearby cities this morning, intending to seek Miss Officer Jenny's help; while the older villagers prefer the more traditional methods, and if nothing unexpected happens, a reward should already be posted at the entrance of that little village.”
......
That concludes the general information.
After telling Xiao Guang and the others all this, the anglers continued their day's scorching journey with a satisfied heart.
After hearing all this, Xiao Guang couldn't sit still any longer.
"Since it can damage the environment, it must be Ghost-type Pokémon causing the trouble! If that's the case, we should go and help!"
"Poga!"
Hikaru made the suggestion, and Bogarman chimed in beside him.
Xiaoguang and Bojiaman were both very kind-hearted. After hearing that some villagers had been injured, she had already made a decision.
Ash and Brock were both surprised to see Dawn and Piplup so determined. Even Pikachu looked surprised.
However, what surprised them was—
"So you figured it out as a Ghost-type Pokémon!" *2
"Pickup!"
Xiao Guang: "......"
Although he didn't know why, Xiao Guang always felt like he was being looked down upon.
Xiao Guang's mood suddenly became depressed.
