Chapter 238 Gengar, You Should Accept the Fact That You're Cute

"Ugh!!!"

"Seriously, really!"

"I! Higana! I'm ignoring you, you super bad guy!"

Higana, who had just been rescued from the sea, was soaking wet, and Xiao Lan was rubbing her wet hair with a towel she had somehow produced.

While being rubbed, she glared angrily at Ze Shu, who sat to the side as if nothing had happened, her cheeks puffed out like two little buns, and her little mouth kept babbling out nonsensical words.

"Sawaki, you're such a terrible guy!"

Ze Shu raised his hands and said, "Then I'm sorry."

Higana blushed and said, "You don't even have the slightest bit of empathy!"

Ze Shu: "..—

Does he have to bow once, bow twice, and then shout "Private Marseille" loudly?

"After all, I really didn't expect that you, Higanbana, couldn't swim. Not only can't you swim, but when you got drowned, you didn't even know how to release your Pokémon to save you. All you could do was scream 'Waaah!'"

Could it be...?

"You, the great inheritor of the Meteor Clan, were actually drowned by a tiny ocean?"

Ze Shu chose to tell the truth.

Higana's face suddenly flushed red, her mouth agape, as if she wanted to retort:

"Hey...hey!"

But he could only refute a few syllables related to kneeling.

She then turned her head away, her cheeks flushed and pouting:

"What you've said..."

"Come on...of course not!"

"The ocean is nothing but a trivial matter..."

"I was just sleeping...yes! Sleeping! I just didn't realize it!"

Ze Shu nodded without saying anything more, only nodding in agreement: "You're absolutely right."

But this attitude made Xijiana explode.

"I... I definitely won't drown!"

Having said that, before she was even completely dry, she immediately tried to jump back into the sea with a "plop," just to prove to Ze Shu that she wouldn't drown.

It was Xiao Lan who pulled her back in time, preventing her from doing something so foolish.

Ze Shu: "..."

He looked at Higana with a strange expression.

He wasn't this stupid when he first met her, was he? What happened to him now? Did he get infected by Psyduck after the environment became too comfortable?

Ze Shu tentatively asked Xi Jiana:

"Then...why don't you leave?"

"Are you going back to your comfortable sleep? After all, this wilderness might not be the best place for you. Well, we're going back soon anyway, you won't be sleeping for long."

After all, what if this thing gets lost and then stupidly falls into the sea like this...?

Well, I don't even want to think about the consequences.

If it were Zhu Lan who came here, given her status as an archaeologist, she would undoubtedly be overjoyed. Moreover, Ze Shu really wanted her to meet her ancestor Wang Luo, and perhaps even get Zhu Lan to personally give Wang Luo a good beating!

"Why would I leave?!"

Higana was stunned for a moment.

She quickly realized what it meant and exploded in anger:

"Why should I leave? I'm not leaving!"

"Where am I? Where am I?! You abandoned me to explore on your own, and now that I'm here, suffering, you still want to drive me away?!"

The way she looked at Ze Shu was as if she were looking at a heartless man.

Ze Shu exchanged a helpless glance with Xiao Lan, who had amusement in her eyes: "Fine."

He always felt that with Higana around, she would never be idle.

And just as I stepped off the back of the Blastoise and onto the sandy beach of the Azure Coast.

Higana couldn't wait to "explore" it. She first tugged at the tail of a seal ball on the beach, making the innocent, round seal ball's eyes well up with tears before she finally stopped.

Then, on the way back to Mount Nagaotai with Sawaki.

She "set her sights" on Longtail Hand.

Unable to bear the provocations of the long-tailed monsters, she became enraged and began throwing stones at the seven or eight long-tailed monsters on the treetop.

"Eek! Eek! Eek! Eek!" In an instant, pebbles flew everywhere.

Higana was hit all over the head with bumps.

In the end, she could only release Salamence and Roaring Moon in a fit of rage, "intimidating" the Aipom horde into scattering and fleeing.

Only then did he return to Ze Shu with a smug look on his face to show off.

"Look, these long-tailed monsters are no match for me, Lady Higana!"

Higana said with a smug look on her face, her head covered in marks from being hit by pebbles.

Zeki: "...—

This silly child.

He sighed inwardly.

Amang, who was saying goodbye to his good neighbor Ze Shu, gave Xi Jiana a strange look before turning back to Ze Shu, handing him a piece of paper that he had prepared beforehand, and smiling shyly:

"Ze, Zeshu, here, this is a map of the Red Lotus Wetland."

"Also, I heard you adopted three wild bass..."

As he spoke, Amang opened his palm, revealing three dark, round mud balls in his hand.

"This is a kind of dried grass ball that the 'Ghost Tail Black Fish' really likes to eat. It's very beneficial for the growth of the Savage Bass. Here, here you go...:"

Amang, the burly, dark-skinned man, revealed a sincere yet shy smile.

As the team leader who takes care of "Ghostfish," one of the ten Pokémon blessed by Arceus, his thing should be quite effective.

Ze Shu smiled and accepted it, patting his good neighbor on the shoulder: "Thank you."

Gengar chuckled and jumped out of the shadows, patting Amang on the other shoulder from behind: "Hehehe!"

It was also sincerely thanking this big guy: Thank you!

Amang: "???"

His body stiffened instantly, then he turned his head haltingly, and upon seeing a chubby, purple ghostly hand wearing a boxing glove on his shoulder...

A sharp, explosive sound suddenly rang out from Mount Longtail:

"Aa ...

After Arcanine defeats "Dragon King" and "Island King": ...and by a twist of fate, Arcanine gains the "Island King" form.

Ze Shu has one last activity left in Xi Cui: helping "He Yue" Moon Bear return home to fulfill its wish to "go back to its hometown."

So Zeshu borrowed a Team Galactic carriage from Dr. Laben, who was taking Xiaozhao back to Zhuqing Village to rest, and set off for Yueyuexiong's hometown.

Where is the Moon Bear's "hometown"?

On the carriage heading to Honglian Wetland.

Ze Shu looked at the map of the Red Lotus Wetland that A Mang had given him.

"It should be this 'peat plateau' and 'bear fighting arena'."

"Hehehe."

Beside him, the chubby purple man emerged halfway from the shadows, shaking his head and sighing.

Even after being scared so many times, that big man still couldn't resist being frightened!

Although it was "sighing", Gengar's face showed "confidence"!

This time, it's definitely scary enough, isn't it?

Can we move on to something more frightening now?

"Hehehe!"

Upon hearing this, Ze Shu put down the map, pinched Gengar's chubby cheeks, and pulled it out of the shadows: "Who are you trying to scare with that cute face of yours?"

Gengar retorted defiantly, "Goblin!"

Do you know that saying a scary ghost is "cute" is an insult to ghosts?

All the facts prove that...:

It's still quite scary!

Ze Shu: "Ha."

It wasn't scary at all.

He carelessly set Gengar aside.

But Zeki's behavior infuriated Gengar.

After being put down by Ze Shu, it sat blankly to the side, sulking. The more it thought about it, the angrier it became, until its chubby purple face puffed up like a big balloon.

Then, its face was poked by Little Blue's little tail, which was being held in its arms next door; it was plump and bouncy.

Gengar: "Kouja!"

It yelled "Waaah!" indignantly and made a face at the fire-type Vulpix that poked its face.

How about it...?

Tell me, isn't this scary enough to frighten you?

Gengar is looking forward to the reaction of the little tail being frightened.

But what I saw was Xiaowei's innocent smile, which was amused by the sight.

"口、口桀"

Gengar looked utterly defeated.

It really broke through its defenses!

Ignoring Xiaowei's cheerful expression, it huddled alone in a corner, hugging its knees... Well, it was too fat to hug its knees. After several attempts, it could only hug its toes, looking like a dejected old man who had been rejected.

"Hehehe..."

"Gengar, scaring people really doesn't suit you. You should accept reality—the reality that you're adorable," Ze Shu said earnestly.

"Goblin!"

Gengar covered its ears desperately, indicating that it would not listen to such "unpleasant words."

Honglian Wetland.

As its name suggests, this place is a large wetland. The soil is so damp that it has an unusual brownish-red color. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, and the central part is even a swamp. The environment is quite harsh, and it is very difficult to move around in it.

At least the carriage can no longer be driven.

But it's not too difficult for Ze Shu.

"I still need to ask you for a favor."

He patted the smooth, warm steel back of Millerton's motorcycle and said with a smile.

But before Milton could respond, Guleton cast a resentful glance his way: "Agahis!"

It had worked so hard pulling the carriage for so long!

Just now, it was the two gods, Guleton and Milton, who pulled the carriage. After all, the Galactic Team can borrow carriages, but the labor force that pulls them is precious to them and is hard to find.

Hearing Guleton's resentful voice, Ze Shu helplessly patted the tire in front of its chest.

"You've worked hard too, okay? I was going to praise you later, but I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry."

It seems that this guy, Guleton, is also a big guy who secretly craves praise.

Therefore, Leighton blushed and simply turned his head away with an air of authority: "Gah!"

Meanwhile, Milton tugged at Ze Shu's sleeve, subtly inviting him to sit on its back.

"Hiss, hiss!"

Let's go!

Misawa rode up Millerton.

Therefore, Leighton's face, which he had turned to the side, suddenly turned indignant.

Although it doesn't necessarily have to be Ze Shu riding it, even though they are both motorcycle lizards, Ze Shu always rides Milerton when it comes to riding.

Not riding it would be unacceptable to Guleton's pride.

"Agas—!"

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Ze Shu answered helplessly.

Why does he always ride a Milerton?

There is no other reason.

Simply because the Milton motorcycle is so easy to ride.

Unlike the Gulliver, which moves by walking on its legs, this "Winged King" always wobbles up and down when you ride it, sometimes brakes suddenly, and sometimes moves like a husky, going fast and slow, which can throw the rider off!

Why not ride it?

Doesn't Gullington have any self-awareness?

Moreover, Milton's functionality is simply too good.

For example, Ze Shu's destinations, "Bear's Arena" or "Peat Plateau," are both located in the southern part of the Red Lotus Wetlands. These areas tend to be rainy, with soft and damp ground where you can easily sink into the ground if you're not careful.

The Milerton floats as it moves, completely unaffected by the ground.

But the Milton couldn't do that. Although it climbed and jumped with more force than the Milton, on this muddy ground, it would get its feet completely covered in mud.

You can also throw mud on the guy riding on top of it.

For example, like Higana, who is covered in dirt and making "plop plop" sounds as she steps into the swamp.

"Ughhhhhh, Zeshu, help! Help! I'm sinking!" she screamed in panic in the swamp.

Ze Shu glanced at her speechlessly.

"Why do you insist on experiencing this swamp?"

Isn't this just courting death?

Ze Shu stopped Milerton, then picked up a small pebble from the ground, flicked his wrist, and threw it at a Poké Ball button on Higanbana's waist.

Then the Poké Ball exploded, and Salamence reluctantly appeared on the scene. It endured the humiliation and carried the mud-covered trainer on its back, and only then was Cynthia out of danger.

"Chirp chirp chirp."

She was catching her breath.

But then she saw Ze Shu turn around and leave, with Little Blue, who was riding a Jigglypuff balloon in the air, waving at her.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

"I...I...I've fallen into the swamp, but I've found something amazing!"

After driving for nearly half an hour, Ze Shu and the others finally arrived at the peat plateau.

This is one of the few places with hard ground outside of the northern mountain road of Honglian Wetland. As the name "peat plateau" suggests, Ze Shu wiped his hand on the ground and his palm turned black, which shows that the ground here has an extremely high carbon content.

The air also carried the unique scent of carbon, mixed with the smell of decaying grass drifting from somewhere in the distance.

"You won't believe me! I really found something great!" Higana was still there, holding a sticky lump of swamp mud in her hand. "After I wash it in the river, you'll be amazed!"

Ze Shu said helplessly, "I didn't say I didn't believe you."

But he could only watch helplessly as Higana, still unconvinced, ran to the river to wash her "treasure".

Ze Shu shook his head.

Looking back at the peat plateau,

"Is this supposedly the sacred ground of the Circle Bear clan?"

"Hmm, that must be the hometown of Moon Bear."

Zeshu took out the Poké Ball from the end of his belt and threw it, releasing the "fierce bear"—"Ultramar"—from the Everlasting Forest in Kitakami Township, which was in a deep sleep.

"Look, your hometown."

Ze Shu patted the Moon Bear's upright, robust, and broad body, and looked at it with a smile.

He went to great lengths to bring this Moon Bear back to its "childhood home," which must have made the Moon Bear incredibly happy.

But after looking around blankly...

But he looked completely bewildered.

"Goohoo?!"

This is indeed his childhood hometown.

cocoa..

Although "Heyue" Moon Bear has not left the Eternal Forest since it went to Kitakami Township.

But there's one thing it understands: after so much time, the world has changed, and even the Eternal Forest isn't the same Eternal Forest it was when it first arrived. Its home must have changed even more!

Can.

Why hasn't the environment here changed at all?!

It looks exactly like it did when it was a baby?!

Kumamoto should have been prepared to see its hometown transformed beyond recognition, but this sudden situation, exactly as it remembered, still left it completely bewildered.

It suspected that its homesickness had caused it to hallucinate.

and.

How come it can still see its ancestor?

Its ancestor is still alive?

It actually appeared alive right in front of it?!

"Heyue" Moon Bear stared at another, even more robust Moon Bear, slowly approaching from a distance.

He met its eyes, which were both fierce and mischievous.
