Chapter 316 The Dark Horse Trainer Who Appeared Out of Nowhere?
The next day.
The residents of Watervein City lined the streets to see them off.
Ash and his friends finally left Canal City and embarked on their journey to Cleef City.
The day after we challenged the Canal City Gym was actually alright, because most of the residents of Canal City were still catching up on sleep they hadn't had because of Darkrai.
However, after another day of build-up, the news of Ash catching Darkrai finally broke.
The story spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, until even Ash himself didn't know what it was talking about anymore.
In this state of panic, Ash had no choice but to run away. If he stayed for another two days, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave Canal City.
......
On the sea.
On the vast, boundless sea, the cruise ship sailed quietly.
A gentle sea breeze carries the scent of the sea and a slight coolness, caressing people's faces.
The sky was as blue as a diamond, and the sunlight gently sprinkled on the sea, making it sparkle like millions of stars twinkling endlessly.
"It feels like it's been a long time since I've felt this peaceful."
On a large cruise ship departing from Watervein City, Xiao Gang held the Lucky Egg in his arms, savoring the peace that was unique to him, and remarked to himself.
This trip to Watervein City was originally planned to be quite relaxing. After all, Watervein City has a well-developed tourism industry and is a small island in the southern sea. From any perspective, Watervein City is a place where people can unwind.
Who knew that in the end it would be Darkrai again, Team Galactic again, and even the residents of Canal City to deal with.
After such a tiring journey, enjoying a cruise like this seems to wash away all the fatigue from the previous trip.
"Yeah~ We should 'thank' them for this! Ash's fan! If it weren't for their generosity, we'd probably still be lost in the forest!"
Hikaru, who had also changed into a swimsuit, chimed in from the side.
For some reason, Ash felt that Dawn's words were a bit sarcastic, but the content itself seemed normal and there was nothing wrong with them.
Yeah~ Hehe~~
Xiao Zhi still doesn't understand what Xiao Guang means.
Xiao Gang chuckled first.
Seeing Xiaogang's infatuated look, Xiaoguang became even angrier.
Before Xiao Guang could speak, Xiao Gang let out a "gurgle" sound, and the next second he was dragged away by the naughty frog with a livid face.
Dawn, Ash, and Pikachu: "..."
All three of them showed expressions of helplessness.
Only Lucky Egg, who was being carried along by Xiao Gang, was still smiling happily.
"Speaking of which, this cruise ship won't arrive in Mutong Town until tomorrow afternoon, right?"
After Xiaogang disappeared from sight, Xiaoguang turned around and asked Xiaozhi.
"Yeah, around 2 PM tomorrow. After all, the distance between Watervein City and Woodlink Town is too far, one is in the south and the other in the north... Oh right, I need to buy a down jacket before going to Chef's Edge City after Woodlink Town!"
The topic quickly drifted off course.
Seeing this, Xiao Guang quickly changed the subject back.
"No, I mean, since we still have so much time, why don't we go relax a bit first?"
"Relax?"
"Pikachu?"
Ash and Pikachu exchanged a glance.
Ash quickly realized what was happening.
"Ah~ you mean the hot spring bath?"
"Mmm!" Xiao Guang nodded quickly. "Although we just played in the pool, how about we go to the bathhouse to relax first?"
Xiao Guang still held a sliver of hope in his heart.
After all, there were quite a few people on the deck along the way, but the beach during the day was a different story.
"But there's hardly anyone at the bathhouse right now, isn't it a bit strange to go there in broad daylight?"
Ash didn't quite understand why Dawn wanted to go to the bathhouse right now.
Xiao Zhi thought that if they were going to the bathhouse, wouldn't it be more lively when there were more people? They could chat with others while bathing, but if they went to the bathhouse now, there would probably be no one else besides the two of them.
"It's alright! It's not strange! It's just a bath! It's the same anytime!"
"Really?" Ash looked at Pikachu with a hint of doubt.
"Where's Pikachu? Do you want to come along?"
"Pi~"
Pikachu immediately jumped off Ash's shoulder, walked over to the Shellder that was still sunbathing, and started to sleep next to it.
"What's wrong with you? You were full of energy until just now, and you even wanted to have a few Pokémon battles?"
Xiao Zhi stood with his hands on his hips.
Even though Ash has been with Pikachu for so long, he still can't quite figure out what Pikachu is thinking.
Pikachu seemed to be deliberately keeping its distance from him.
really weird.
"Look! Even Pikachu doesn't want to go! Let's go! It'll be so boring for me to go alone! Let's go relax together!"
"alright."
Ash isn't very good at refusing other people's requests, let alone Dawn's.
Since Pikachu doesn't want to go for no reason, then so be it. Let Pikachu and the other Pokémon soak up the sun here.
Just as Xiao Guang was pushing Xiao Zhi towards the bathing area inside the cruise ship, the sound of tourists talking nearby suddenly caught Xiao Zhi's attention, causing him to stop involuntarily.
The speakers were two rather young men, each accompanied by a Pokémon that appeared to be quite powerful. Ash had previously witnessed their battles on the deck's battle arena, and their command abilities were also quite good; they seemed to be Pokémon trainers.
One of the men spoke mysteriously, "Hey, did you know? This year's league tournament champion might already be decided inside the box."
"What? Really? Aren't there a lot of dark horses this year? It's hard to say who's stronger among them, isn't it?"
The other person was clearly not satisfied with this arbitrary statement.
After all, if that's the case, wouldn't he be unable to even have the slightest dream of winning a championship?
"hehe."
The man chuckled with amusement.
"If it's the list from the last issue of the magazine, I suggest ignoring it, because just recently, a trainer suddenly appeared and, with lightning speed, captured most of the badges in just one month, and almost all the Gym Leaders were crushed!"
"what?"
Ash and Dawn both stopped to listen.
"How is that possible! Even the most skilled trainer wouldn't use the word 'crushing,' right? How could that be possible—"
"What if I told you that the Pokémon that person was using was Darkrai?"
The man closed his eyes, a smile on his lips that seemed to hold both longing and helplessness.
