Chapter 292 "Hupa Will Do Anything"
While Hoopa's "guardian" Mayali has been missing for half a month, the Ocean Team has stormed the top of Mount Sumeru and obtained the genuine red and blue orbs. These two troublesome events are truly one after another.
Hupa was on the other side of the roundabout, her voice trembling with tears.
Daigo heard an urgent command about the situation coming through his phone.
Ze Shu said, "My opinion is..."
'
"It would be best if we could find and stop Team Ocean's operation and retrieve their jewel."
Daigo said solemnly, "But what if we can't stop it?"
Ze Shu remained silent for a while, then looked at the scroll painting of the dragon's eyes on the table, and suddenly said in a smiling tone:
'
It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it.
A brief laugh came from the other end of the phone.
"I understand. We'll try our best... hopefully, you won't have to step in."
After hanging up Daigo's call.
"Ze Shu! Ze Shu! Save Maya Li! Save Maya Li! If you can save Maya Li, Hoopa will do whatever you say from now on, even my salary..." Hoopa said this as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, "I don't even want Hoopa anymore!"
Ze Shu sighed, "To rescue Mei Yali, we first need to know where she is."
Hoopa pleaded, "Where is Mayali?! Zeshu, please think of something! Hoopa, please!"
Ze Shu comforted him, "Don't worry, there's no use in worrying."
Hoopa said urgently, "Hoopa is absolutely frantic! Zeshu, you have to think of something! Where is Mayali...?"
"To find out where Mayari is... we need to know where the Valley of Creation is." Ze Shu pondered for a moment, then put away the scroll painting on the table. Xiao Lan also opened the world map on the tablet and placed it on the table. "The Valley of Creation is located in the vicinity of the Carlos region, but it is not too far from the United States."
"How did Mayari come to Unova?"
"Balza said Mayali is planning to go by boat!" Hoopa blurted out everything he knew, regardless of whether it was useful or not. "And she left a really, really early time ago! Balza also said that Mayali took out all the money she had saved since she was a child... a whole 30,000 Alliance Coins..."
As they were talking, at the other end of the circle, Huba pouted and sniffed out her tears.
Ze Shu thought for a moment: "The places that can be reached by boat..."
'
"I know that!" Higana leaned in, proudly proclaiming like Sherlock Holmes. "Didn't we have a huge dock in Feiyun City? That Mayali must have taken a boat to Feiyun City!"
"Really? Really?" Hoopa asked eagerly.
"My reasoning, Fulcigana's, is definitely correct!" Fulcigana said earnestly. "Otherwise, where in the different parts of the Unova would there be a port like Flying Cloud City?"
"Yes," Ze Shu said.
"Where?!" Higana protested.
Under her gaze, Ze Shu pointed to another town on the Unova map.
That's Fanba City, located in the northwest of Feiyun City, separated by two other cities.
Xiao Lan said, "Sailbar City is also a port city in the Unova region. The geography magazine I read said that, just like its name, there are always strong winds in Sailbar City, and sailing is extremely popular. And the port is full of fishing boats or sailboats."
"Oh, and cargo ships too. Fanba City also has a nickname—the gateway to the Unova region, a port city with a lot of cargo traffic."
Ze Shu nodded and said, "Mayali, maybe... she's here."
"Why!" Higana questioned, unconvinced. "Flying Cloud City's port is clearly bigger! Why doesn't Mayali go to Flying Cloud City!"
Ze Shu said, "The reason is simple."
Higana asked indignantly, "What is it?"
Ze Shu: "Money."
"The port of Feiyun City is filled with luxury cruise ships, and at the very least, some yachts. The cost of boarding a ship there, even the cheapest one, is at least two or three thousand, if not tens of thousands."
"But that's not enough to explain why Mayari didn't go to Flying Cloud City!" Higana said, puffing out her cheeks. "Didn't Hoopa say that Mayari brought all her savings? How could she not afford the boat fare!"
"That's 30,000 Alliance Coins! I don't even have 30,000 Alliance Coins!"
"Yes, yes!" Hoopa exclaimed curiously from the other end, "Why?"
Ze Shu glanced at Hoopa's ring: "Hoopa, have you forgotten why Mayari came to find you?"
Why...
""
At this point, Hoopa seemed to recall something, and his words froze.
"Why?" Higana finished Hupa's question.
Ze Shu: "Mayali came to Hoopa to repay the money Hoopa stole, which is why she brought out all her savings. And since she's repaying the money, the boat fare..."
'
"Of course, we'll save money wherever we can. How could we possibly go on a luxury cruise ship or yacht?"
"Most likely, Mayari came to United States by taking a sailboat or cargo ship to Fanba City in order to save money."
"Moreover, and most importantly, all the cruise ships and yachts docked in Feiyun City are registered, which we can easily find. The safety level there is also much higher."
"In Fanba City, due to the constant strong winds and the chaotic situation, there are frequent cases of sailboats capsizing and people going missing..."
Hupa panicked: "That Mayali is in danger in Fanba City!"
Ze Shu nodded and said, "These are all guesses, but it is indeed very likely."
He sighed and added, "Tomorrow morning, I'll ask the United Alliance for the ferry registration information for the past two weeks in Feiyun City. We'll know then."
The next morning, the "Registration Form for Yachts and Cruise Ships of Feiyun City Port and Shipping Administration" sent by the United Alliance indeed did not contain Mei Yali's name, which meant that Ze Shu's guess last night was at least half right.
"Sawaki! Sawaki! We have to get to Fanba City! We need to save Mayari!"
"I'll go after I take care of one more thing."
Urged on by Hoopa, Zeki pushed open the door of the Meteor Village Inn and slowly walked into the "big hole" in the center. Upon arrival, under the curious gazes of many Meteor Villagers, Zeki paused, took out the finishing touch scroll he had obtained the night before, and unfurled it.
The pale blue runes depicted on the scroll emitted a faint glow.
Many of the Meteor Citizens were familiar with this scroll, which immediately made them widen their eyes.
"This...this is what's enshrined in the ancestral hall..."
39
But then a flash of blue light appeared in the air, and a dragon shadow swooped down. Rayquaza's eyes flashed with disbelief as he looked at the scroll that Zeki was unfolding in his hand.
"Lord Dragon God?!"
Its appearance transformed the astonishment of the surrounding meteor people upon seeing the scroll in Zeshu's hands into even greater astonishment.
In an instant, the group of meteorites knelt down in a clamor of piety.
At the front of them, Ze Shu was still standing upright.
He said, "This scroll is something that can awaken your power, isn't it?"
Rayquaza turned its head away.
After the red chains that bound it and the emerald fragments that were connected to and controlled by its power, this offending human has now obtained something else related to it!
This really annoyed Rayquaza.
"Do you want it?" Zeki suddenly asked, noticing Rayquaza's constantly changing expression as it turned its head away.
Normally, no matter how much Rayquaza wanted it, it would maintain its dignified expression with an air of "arrogance." But this time, as soon as Ze Shu asked, Rayquaza immediately turned its head back, which it had just turned away from: "Roar—"
It wants it! It really wants it! This time it really wants it desperately!
Ze Shu: "No."
Rayquaza: (10A)!
Here we go again!
Ze Shu smiled, then, through the connection of the emerald orb, earnestly said to Rayquaza, "There might be some trouble in Hoenn during this time. The Groundhog and the Fishbowl you beat up a thousand years ago might awaken. I hope you can be understanding."
Rayquaza turned its head and roared!
If you reject me, then I won't stay any longer!
Let those two things destroy the world if they want to; it's none of its business.
From the fragments of the emerald jewel came Rayquaza's extremely resentful thoughts.
Ze Shu sighed and said "regretfully" to Rayquaza through the Emerald Orb, "Never mind then. Even if you don't take responsibility, I'll just use the Red Chains. Besides, if you refuse, then this finishing touch scroll probably won't be activated, and you'll have to fight Groudon and Kyogre without using Mega Evolution."
"Well, whatever kind of beating you get, it won't embarrass me. But look at these followers who had such high hopes for you; their illusions about you are probably about to be shattered..."
Rayquaza turned its head and glared angrily at Sawaki.
How could anyone say such insidious things so early in the morning!
But the words came back again.
"roar-
—
Rayquaza roared out a series of words.
Rayquaza's words are awkward and difficult to translate, but to summarize, they roughly mean this: "It doesn't want Groudon and Kyogre to destroy this world either, which is why it stopped them a thousand years ago. So, it will take a look. But not because of what you said, but because it doesn't want the 'flyless' and 'Fathead' to destroy this world, so it can't eat the meteorites."
Without waiting for Ze Shu's response, Rayquaza spun around and flew straight into the clouds, disappearing from sight.
Only the bewildered Meteor Citizens and the helpless Zeki remained at the scene.
"What's going on... Lord Dragon God... is gone again..."
Because the conversation between Zeki and Rayquaza was conducted through the Emerald Orb, the Meteor People were unaware of the details and were confused as to why the Dragon God flew over, roared a few times, and then flew away.
Ze Shu turned around, met their bewildered gazes, and unfurled the scroll of "The Finishing Touch" in his hand.
"See this scroll in my hand? The prophecy says that Rayquaza, in its Mega Form, will break through the incoming meteor and avert the world's crisis. And just now, I reached an agreement with your Dragon God."
"Your Dragon God has promised me that he will join me in resolving the world's crisis!"
"So, you don't need to worry, you don't need to fret. Those who want to have children should have them! I've heard that you're afraid to have children because of this impending world-ending prophecy, leaving only Akamaru as the only child in Meteor Village. This has greatly disappointed Granny Dragon. If this continues, your Meteor Village will surely face extinction!"
Because of the situation, Granny Long, who was walking slowly with her cane, froze.
When did she ever tell this person that she was disappointed with the birth rate in the Land of Fever?
I was indeed a little disappointed.
In Fanba City, somewhere outside the Fanba Market.
A golden ring flashed, and Ze Shu and Xiao Lan appeared inside, while Xi Jiana lost her footing and fell to the ground.
Lying on the ground, Higana puffed out her cheeks and said, "Hoopa, you're definitely getting revenge on me!"
Hoopa, on the other side of the circle, retorted angrily, "Hoopa's only thought is to save Mayali, how could she possibly have the mind to take revenge on you? Don't blame Hoopa for your own instability!"
Then the ring was suddenly bulged up by the impact, and Hoopa cried out "Ouch!" again. It seemed that Hoopa had tried to crawl into the ring again but was bounced away—it still couldn't quite remember that it couldn't pass through the ring.
"Ze Shu, please! Rescue Hoopa!"
Hupa's pleading voice came from the other side.
-
Helpless, just like when he escaped when the Kalu Tunnel collapsed, Ze Shu reached out and broke through the ring of Hupa, forcibly pulling the other end of Hupa over.
"Huff! Ze Shu is amazing!" Arriving here, Huba caught her breath, then looked around, "Where's Mei Yali! Where's Mei Yali!"
But there was no sign of Mayali.
The noise from the Fanba Market, however, reached my ears.
"Vital root! All-purpose powder! Large root! Thick, robust, and full of energy!"
"A unique fragrance that can make Wobbuffet give birth to cute baby Wobbuffets! A filling fragrance that can make Snorlax give birth to cute baby Snorlaxes! And a fragrance that can make Mr. Mime give birth to... It has everything!"
"Where is Mayali...? Where is Mayali...?"
Flying into the Nafanba Market, Hupa looked around but couldn't find Mayali on the shelves.
Even if Ze Shu guessed that Maya was really lost in Fanba City, once they arrived in Fanba City, Hoopa was completely clueless. All it could do was tug at Ze Shu's sleeve, crying and repeating the same words it had been saying all along.
"Ze Shu, you have to think of something!"
"I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking about it," Ze Shu said helplessly.
He looked south from the market and saw the cargo terminal of Fanba City, as well as a cold storage warehouse filled with containers. This was the place where almost all cargo ships arriving in Fanba City had to stop, and it looked quite chaotic at first glance.
Fanba City is not as commercial as Feiyun City; instead, it's a mixed bag of people.
If you want to investigate this place, then...
"Sawaki?"
As he was thinking, Ze Shu suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw a pink-haired girl. She was carrying a bamboo basket in one hand, which contained several incense sticks, energy roots, and other items, so she must have come to the market to shop.
Zeshu had met this girl not long ago in Kitakami Township.
"Ziyu? What are you doing here!" Xijiana said in surprise.
As someone who bullied the Ziyu Wind Fairy and was reprimanded by Ziyu, she had quite a few impressions of Ziyu.
"It really is you guys!" Zi Yu was also surprised.
Then she explained with a smile.
"Because Fanba City is my home. My father is the Gym Leader of Fanba Dojo."
Yes, the Gym Leader of Fanba City is none other than the powerful and influential Boss Kiku, who has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles of Fanba City.
