Elf: Who told him to be an investigator!

Chapter 60 Anecdotes of Binhai City

the next day.

The morning sun shines down.

As soon as Ze Shu stepped out of the room, he was told that his spaceship had been cleaned.

Upon arriving at the open space, it was indeed true. The Alliance had acted swiftly, even restoring the minor imperfections caused by continuous flight in the sky.

The spaceship deck no longer carries the scent of Pokémon hunters; instead, it is filled with a sweet fragrance.

It's said that after the League cleaned it up, they also hired many Grass-type Pokémon to use moves like "Sweet Scent" and "Aromatherapy" to permeate the area.

Modern spaceships.

From the outside, it has a streamlined, silvery-white appearance, which would be a good camouflage under a clear sky. However, it is extremely conspicuous in the night sky…

But the high-tech aspect of this spaceship is that it can change color! Just like the cloaking dragon.

It can change into different colors depending on the ambient color. Even if you look closely, you can still see its presence quite clearly, but it is easy to miss if you don't pay close attention.

This function was originally damaged, but it is said that the repair was handled by a craftsman in the alliance who was in charge of large devices. He also fixed it while he was at it, and that's how he fixed the function.

To this, Ze Shu could only say: "Outrageous."

Such a skilled craftsman, I should visit him sometime and see if it's possible to add any new features.

Now that he has a spaceship, his thinking has changed somewhat.

I don't want to think about the whole house right now.

Enjoying a leisurely cruise on a spaceship, lying on the deck feeling the breeze and admiring the scenery, while playing and frolicking with Pokémon—that's a great option. After all, fighting and killing isn't good in the Pokémon world—except for Pokémon hunters and evil organizations.

Okay, I've decided. Once things are over in Sinnoh, I'll travel around the Pokémon world using this spaceship.

After all, investigators also need vacations!

Let's do a preview now, starting around the Sinnoh Pokémon League.

After all, Zhu Lan said not to go too far.

Inside the captain's cabin.

The six-tailed creature perched on Ze Shu's head, looked at the sea chart on the table, and let out a rather comical meow:

"Ooh~"

"Set off!"

Boom—

The spacecraft is activated.

……

But actually there's not much to see around the Sinnoh Pokémon League; it's just sea.

After circling around a few times, Ze Shu finally decided to park the spaceship outside Binhai City, descend via cable, and then slowly walk onto the road paved with solar panels in Binhai City.

It is said that the coastal city was built on a long, narrow cape with uneven terrain, so many roads made of solar panels could only be built.

Ze Shu looked curiously at the reflective solar panels below and wondered, "Should we get some?"

After all, his spaceship needs energy to operate.

Unlike the "Heroic Onion" in the anime Horizon, which uses the heat source of giant coal mountains and lava worms for propulsion.

Unlike the "Heroic Asagi," Ze Shu's spaceship doesn't have a large steam sphere; it's electrically powered. Without a power source, its power reserves might only last for about a month of flight.

That's why he was thinking about getting some solar panels.

But these reflective solar panels are too ugly and contradict the 'color-changing' function of his spaceship.

He eventually gave up on the idea.

Perhaps we could find an Electric-type Pokémon to stay on his ship and become his crew member?

Could more crew positions be added in the future, such as "cook," "repairman," and "maintenance and cleaning"? For example, the cook position would be suitable for Alcremie, Farfetch'd, Sweet Bamboo... and so on.

Hmm, perhaps we could invite Foam Squirrel to fill the 'cleaning' position.

Lost in thought, Ze Shu continued to wander aimlessly around Binhai City.

He now has a six-tailed fox with its fluffy, cool body in one hand and a small snowman in the other, with a glaceon following closely at his feet. The adorable trio has attracted the attention of many passersby.

In the distance stands a lighthouse, its top gleaming like an electric ball on the tail of an electric dragon, illuminating the way for ships sailing at night.

Not long after walking, the Binhai Dojo came into view.

There was a large box at the entrance, filled to the brim with badges from the Seaside Dojo—the 'Lighthouse Badge'.

There was also a sign next to it that read: "Any gym challengers who come here are welcome to take what they need."

Ze Shu: "..."

So arrogant?

I never expected that Denji, the head of the Binhai Dojo, would start to give up now.

It's said that Denji lost interest in battling because the challengers he encountered were too weak. In the anime, Ash's arrival and his "passionate" battles rekindled Denji's fighting spirit...

I just don't know when Ash will arrive.

But Sawaki respected other people's fates. Since Denji's slacking off wouldn't harm anyone, Sawaki didn't think about actively trying to rouse Denji's fighting spirit.

He thought for a moment, then walked to the entrance of the seaside dojo and reached out to take a badge from the box.

After all, he's supposed to be collecting badges, right? He might as well take the free badges.

Okay, that's it. Ze Shu's second badge—the Lighthouse Badge—is obtained!

He also remembered that he was a dojo inspector.

click-

Take out your camera and take a picture of the scene in front of the seaside dojo.

Whether or not it's reported is another matter; let's keep this as evidence first.

Holding his camera, Ze Shu gradually walked to a beach and stopped again.

The waves crashed against the shore, making a splashing sound, creating a beautiful scene under the blue sky and white clouds.

With its fluffy tail wagging and its eyes shining, Liuwei let out a "whoosh" and rushed towards the edge of the waves.

But unfortunately, it stepped into a hole in the sand and fell flat on its face, its head buried in the soft sand, with only its fluffy tail and two little legs sticking out and thrashing about, unable to break free.

Ze Shu: "..."

Our Six-Tails is really a bit clumsy, what should we do?

After Glaceon quickly ran up and picked it up with its mouth, Vulpix, its head covered in sand, shook dazedly before turning to its trainer, who was still laughing at it, with a wronged expression:

"Ooh~"

It'll take a long time to comfort me!

"That's what Liuwei said, raising its cute, fluffy head."

Sawaki walked over with amusement, intending to give Six-Tails a good pat and comfort.

Unexpectedly and without noticing, as he lifted his foot, he kicked a pale yellow cotton ball away from his feet.

The yellow cotton ball rolled several times in the sand before finally coming to a stop, its raised blue cheeks filled with grievance.

Ze Shu realized that this was a Mare sheep.

"Meow—"

The sheep cried out in grievance, but dared not do anything.

Hmph, if you kick it, you've kicked a cotton ball.

Soft and gentle, it won't hurt your feet, making it the easiest sheep to bully within a ten-kilometer radius.

Ze Shu: "..."
