It all starts with helping Pokémon
Chapter 269 The case of the disappearance of Pokémon, digging Magearna!
Chapter 269 The case of the disappearance of Pokémon, digging Magearna!
It's another week before Halloween, although the recent strangeness of Alola has made the atmosphere in the whole area weird, and many Pokémon are reluctant to go out.
But the festival is approaching, and the ghost-type Pokémon who can finally celebrate the festival don't care about it, they continue to play music and dance, and the atmosphere is lively again.
On the other hand, the commemorative activities of Master House continued as in previous years.
This day last year was the day when the Youth Cup ended, and it was also the day when Hoshino and Lillie cleared up their misunderstanding and got back together, which is of great significance.
In one year, two new members, Tiebaolu and Xiaoxingyun, were added to the family, making it more lively every year. Finally, Lilia was really in the Wanshiwu and spent this anniversary with everyone.
Now she has finally fulfilled this regret. If she wants to talk about her wish, she actually still has some.
For example, taming a new Pokémon, being able to celebrate the New Year in the Master House, and being able to have a family reunion for a New Year’s Eve dinner... But this is basically impossible, and I can only dream about it.
In the early hours of the morning, the activity finally came to an end, and a bunch of tired Pokémon fell asleep in the living room. After taking pictures to commemorate, Hoshino and Lillie began to pack up.
The most sensible Geng Gui also followed, and then asked Tie Baolu to help clean up the garbage, and sent it all to the garbage station, which was much more convenient.
"Gengar~"
Recently, Geng Gui has been busy working with Sai Fuhao, helping Master House to receive the entrusted Pokémon. Although it is not tiring, it has also lost a lot of time to play. Fortunately, their festival is coming soon.
But at this time, Hoshino, who was holding the plate and preparing to go to the kitchen, suddenly said: "By the way, you guys don't want to run out of Kabukicho to play, there is a lot of Ultra Beast outside, you might not be an opponent if you fight alone, wait Follow me when I go out."
"Gengar~"
Geng Gui nodded and had no complaints. As the oldest Pokémon in the House of Everything besides the motorcycle lizard, although it is young, it just turned 3 years old today, but it is well-behaved and sensible and can take care of others. It is what everyone is talking about. need it to take care of.
Then it continued to help tidy up the living room. After everything was cleaned, it didn't forget to go back to the bedroom and take out the blankets to cover these guys.
After everything was over, it talked to Hoshino and went downstairs to the izakaya to continue playing.
Li Liai put down the mop, looked at Hoshino, and said with a light smile, "It feels like Geng Gui is really like a big sister who likes to take care of others~"
"It used to be very naughty, torturing me in the claw machine every day."
"I've heard you say it, but it also shows that you are very good at educating Pokémon."
"Education is one aspect, and willingness to work hard is another aspect. The credit cannot all be attributed to the trainer. Xinye Miao, Sai Fuhao, Pope Dolphin... Almost all of them were cared for by Geng Gui when they first came here. This is not my teaching. Yes, it learned by itself."
If you want to say who in the family reassures Hoshino the most, it must be Geng Gui who has no time to run away. He is well-behaved, sensible, lively and good at making friends, and he can mix up wherever he goes.
The only problem is that Geng Gui's blackening is too terrifying. He really rushed to kill the enemy completely, and he didn't even listen to his words.
And this just happens to explain that Geng Gui usually has a lot of backlog of pressure, but his personality is too good, even if he suffers any grievances, he will hide it and never show it. He will never let his family know. Only blackening can completely eliminate it. excitation.
At this time, Lillie suddenly remembered something again, and said with some concern: "By the way, the case of the disappearance of Pokémon in Kaniko City seems to be getting more and more serious, and the case has not been solved yet."
"That case, how should I put it... is a bit troublesome, and it won't be able to be dealt with in a short while. We still have a commission here."
"Ugh……"
The two of them suddenly brought up the topic of this case, while Geng Gui had already arrived in the izakaya, and greeted Long-tailed Firefox...
With the development of Ultra Beast, the traffic in the izakaya is getting worse and worse, and many familiar faces have not been seen in the past few days, which makes Geng Gui a little disappointed.
Fortunately, Haoli and Iron Bone Turen, who came here almost every day, were not afraid of these things at all, and the civil engineer who could work on the construction site for so long without running away was already not afraid of anything.
When King Daidai saw it, he asked, "Is the upstairs party over?"
"Gengar~"
Geng Gui nodded with a smile, and then floated not far away, just as Cang Yan Saber Ghost passed by with a plate, and they also greeted each other.
They have a very good relationship. When Geng Gui was first brought here by Hoshino, he was rescued by Cang Yan Saber Ghost. Although he was very afraid of each other at the time, after getting along with him, he felt that this big sister was just a little bit cold. Very caring.
Geng Gui has a secret. It is good at taking care of others. It actually learned it from Cang Yan Ren Gui. As for why the other party is so good at it, it also asked curiously, but it didn't get an answer.
In the middle of the night, the master house has turned off the lights to rest, and when the early morning arrives, many guests have gone home, Haoli and the others have also left, and they have to go to work tomorrow.
In a blink of an eye, there was no one customer left in the izakaya, and Geng Gui sat on the bar counter boredly, playing with the dumb beast who had been looking up at the sky and "screaming dumbly".
Sitting behind the bar, Dumb King was taking out a newspaper and reading it. He likes to read such things, but he doesn't like cell phones and the like.
Then it picked up a lollipop, and said slowly: "An accident happened again on Akara Island, and now Alola really can't calm down at all."
"Gengar?"
"It's a bit serious. There have been 77 incidents of newborn Pokémon disappearing in the middle of the night in Konica City. Not only the breeding houses, but even some trainers' homes have been brutally murdered... catching children, tsk, dumbfounded Look down on these guys."
Hearing this, Cang Yan Saber Ghost glanced at it, but was blocked by Dull King who shook his head: "Don't make extravagant matters that have nothing to do with us, this kind of thing should be done by the guy upstairs, he is not the last Do you like meddling in this kind of business?"
"Gengar~"
Geng Gui nodded, saying that this matter should be left to Wanshiwu, but there are guys who kidnap children, it is simply intolerable!
Seeing that it took the commission, the King of Silence deliberately reminded: "Be careful, the guy who can quietly capture the child must be very powerful, and Halloween is coming soon, maybe it has something to do with it."
"Gengar?"
In this way, during the daytime of the next day, Hoshino rushed downstairs and grabbed the umbrella-like collar of Daidaiwang, and shouted: "Is there anyone who sends out commissions like this! You fooled my Geng Gui to accept the commission every day, right?"
"Don't pull, don't pull, it's about to break."
"Humph!"
Hoshino snorted coldly, this guy used Geng Gui's trust to deal with trouble not once or twice, anyway, the final entrustment fell on himself, but this time the difficulty was obviously different.
When Nai-chan came to talk to Lillie before, he had paid attention to this case, but he didn't expect it to become more and more serious. Lila and the others also investigated it, and finally confirmed that it was not the work of the Ultra Beast, and it was probably more serious. weird stuff.
"Trouble to die for, so what about commission details? Just one Halloween?"
Hoshino just cursed a few words, but the next commission would definitely be completed, he believed that the other party must know some details, just because he was so upright, Daidaiwang was able to succeed almost every time.
Dumb King straightened his collar, and then said: "No one cares about this matter, I can only let you deal with it. After all, you like to meddle in business. Alola has been panicked enough recently. I don't want these messy things." Let’s continue to scare the guests away.”
"..."
"I don't know exactly what it is. After all, I didn't go to the scene to investigate, but I guess it might be related to Halloween. You have to trust your intuition!"
"..."
Hoshino has taken it, and let him handle the commission just because of this clue?Fortunately, Li Liai also followed, and quickly comforted: "Okay, okay, let's treat it as a commission from Sister Naijiang. At that time, I also promised to report it to be safe, but there is still no result yet."
"Ugh……"
Having said that, what else can Hoshino say?The main reason is that he was going to arrange the Z-movement plan next time, and a sudden commission came, which immediately disrupted the arrangement...
Back in Wanshiwu, Geng Gui didn't expect Hoshino to be so angry this time, so he lowered his head and floated aside with some self-blame.
"It's none of your business, it's just that this stupid boss is not a good person every day."
"Boss Boss is not a human being."
"..."
Hoshino was silenced by Lilia, and then contacted Lila, and asked the other party to send him some information about the last investigation of this case, so he had to study it carefully.
After reading the information soon, I found that the situation was indeed a bit serious. First of all, the missing cases were all in Konica City, and the missing Pokémon were either newborn or members of the baby team. They only targeted Pokémon, not human cub.
The time of disappearance can basically be determined, from ten o'clock to zero o'clock every night, and random locations in the city, there is no pattern to find, as if it is just a child...
After reading all of this, Li Liai was very angry: "It's disgusting, it's been like this to catch Pokémon, and the longest disappearance has been almost two months. Did Pokémon Hunter do it?"
"These guys don't have the ability, and the Ultra Beast crime has been ruled out, so it can only be a very dangerous Pokémon, and there should be more than one. The possibility of a gang committing crimes is very high."
Hoshino continued to speculate, but it's a pity that there are no clues to this case so far. Because of this, it has been almost two months and has not been solved.
Boss Boss doesn't want to take care of things, so let him deal with it. It must be that the case has developed to a very serious level, but this guy must know the reason, and even gave a Halloween reminder!
That is to say, the prisoner may be a ghost department?Thinking about it, only the ghost system and the super power system can do this, but the boss just gave a hint, and I don't know what he wants...
"It's troublesome... I can only go to Konica City to have a look first, and send the Z bracelet to Miss Lizi by the way."
"Can I go with you?"
"Ok?"
"I'm a little worried about these Pokémon, and...it's been almost two months, and I haven't left Kabukicho..."
Seeing Lilia's anxious expression, Hoshino shook his head, then stretched out his hand to gently pinch her face, and said, "It's okay, just follow me and don't run around."
"Ok!"
"Then let's go now, Sai Fuhao, you and Geng Gui will help look after the house, maybe we won't be back until tomorrow."
"Ji-Wah-Wah~"
"Gengar!"
Sai Fuhao said it was okay, it liked the feeling of being the boss, but Geng Gui refused, and it was the one who took the commission, so naturally it had to keep up!
"Okay, you can leave the iron burden at home, I'm afraid Sai Fuhao can't handle it alone."
"Drip-"
The iron burden nodded, indicating that it is okay. It generally seldom holds objections, and thinks more on its own. It belongs to the type that has its own opinions, but prefers to be more passive.
After the arrangement was made, they set off directly. Lilia was very happy to be able to go out after a long time. She sat sideways on the motorcycle lizard with Xiao Xingyun in her arms, and leaned on Hoshino to enjoy the scenery along the way.
But just after they left, the Dumb King came out of the izakaya again, looking at him calmly.
Then, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside it, but it didn't care, but said slowly: "They took the commission and left, wouldn't you issue the commission yourself for such a thing, you have to let me hand it over to them , just want to test it?"
"..."
……
The moment the two appeared in Hau Le City, they were discovered by people from the Ethereum Foundation. These people only had the task of stalking and would not do anything else.
After taking a boat in the port area, they soon came to Knicker City, and sure enough, they felt something was wrong as soon as they entered the city.
The police can be seen everywhere, especially around the cultivation house. The once lively streets are now hardly visited by tourists.
Xinye Miao felt it for a while, and there was no aura of disaster, so it was not a disaster, but it did have an unusual smell.
"It's really strange..."
Hoshino looked around, and Liliai also held Xiao Xingyun and carefully looked at it, but found nothing. Geng Gui floated aside and shook his head as well.
"I should ask the Pope Dolphin to ask. It has been running with the Muscle Mosquito every day during this time, and even joined forces to help the International Police defeat the Ultra Beast. Such a big thing happened here, they should know it too. .”
"Then ask when you get back."
"Ah."
Hoshino nodded slightly. When he went out to deal with commissions, he usually had Motor Lizard and New Leaf Meow. Other Pokémon would only be brought out if they had nothing to do, and they would definitely not bother them if they had something to do.
It was still early in the evening, so they first went to the Lizzie Gem Shop to find the Queen of the Island, and then handed over the Z bracelet to each other.
No way, most of the students have left Alola. Even Meiyue felt that building an alliance was very difficult after a summer vacation, so she decided to go to practice first, and then travel with Xiaoyang in the Kanto area to challenge the place over there. Gym.
So Hoshino now has six more Z bracelets in his hand. He is going to give one to the king of the island first, and the rest will be decided according to the situation.
Fortunately, there are many things going on in Konica City recently, and Li Zi has no chance to leave at all, and she is even very irritable as if she has reached menopause. When the two entered the gem shop to find someone, the clerk at the door still whispered to remind them not to talk nonsense.
At this moment, Li Zi was sitting at the innermost desk on the first floor of the gem shop, with a headache on her face and she didn't know what she was thinking. It was not until Hoshino and the two came that she finally recovered and greeted her with a smile.
"Alola~ I didn't tell you why I came here suddenly. The situation in Kenic City is not very good recently. If you come to play, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"We also came here after hearing about the disappearance of Pokémon in Konica City, to see if we can help."
Li Liai responded politely, Lizi listened, forced a trace of joy on her face, and said, "It's been almost two months, and I can only find a few clues, which should be related to ghost-type Pokémon..."
"We thought so too..."
"That's why it's such a headache. I finally found a boyfriend. As a result, a lot of things made it difficult for me to meet him. I'm in my 30s. If I can't find a marriage partner, I will be caught by those in the circle." A pile of rich women laugh at you!"
Lizi suddenly seemed to go crazy, startling the two people in front of her. Lilia quickly changed the subject, thought for a while, and asked, "Uh... Miss Lizi already has a boyfriend? It must be very good, right?"
Hearing this question, Lizi clasped her hands together, showing an idiot-like expression, and responded very excitedly: "He is a gym trainer in Dark Gray City, and he is an expert in using the rock system like me! His The charming squinting eyes and the bronze-colored strong figure are like dancing on my xp~”
"Almost got it..."
Hoshino couldn't bear it any longer. If you, a guy like Qishu who grows so young that he can't tell his age, puts on such an expression, I won't say anything to you.
Fortunately, they quickly explained the purpose of their visit. Hoshino handed the Z bracelet to the other party, and explained the important matters when using it again.
After listening, Li Zi put on the Z bracelet and nodded: "Don't worry, I've already prepared it, Rock Z, right? Just leave it to me!"
As the kings of Alola's islands, everything they do is for the sake of Alola's development. They will definitely help with this kind of thing unconditionally, even if they are at a disadvantage, it doesn't matter.
After sending out the Z bracelet, the two left the gem shop. At this moment, Lilia sighed softly and said, "Even the queen of the island can't do anything about it, so where do we start to investigate?"
"Well... how about asking online?"
Hoshino suddenly thought of a good idea. At this time, it is time to use the Wanshiwu website. This website is their circle. You can not only answer others' doubts, but also ask yourself!
After hearing his thoughts, Liliai immediately went to ask. Hoshino is usually busy all the time, so she has a lot of water, because she can't go out for surfing.
Then he directly talked about the current situation, and soon the following reply came...
Shui Lian: "Ah? Is it so scary? Are my parents and my sister all right? But they didn't tell me about such a big event in Nico City. I have to call back and ask."
Lillie: "Don't worry, there has been no human disappearance, and nothing will happen. It can be speculated that it should be the ghost of the ghost-type Pokémon, but there is no way to lock the other party."
Acerola: "Ghost department, right? Konic City, right? I'll come right over, I don't even know such an interesting thing..."
Paipa: "There won't be such a thing if you raise a mastiff godfather. The residents of Partia are worried that there will be wild ghost Pokémon entering their homes at night to steal things, so they will choose to raise a mastiff godfather to visit the nursing home."
A Feng: "I usually leave the unsold desserts for them at the dessert shop at night, so that they can reduce the chance of them stealing from other people's houses."
Pipa: "I don't like people stealing my food. Recently, Mr. Savaro is teaching us advanced dessert making. I'm busy with this."
Afeng: "Dessert? Does Paipa come to my dessert shop to learn?"
Zhulan: "This Wanshiwu seems quite interesting."
"..."
Seeing that Ms. Zhulan, who had joined the group for a month, actually spoke for the first time, Li Liai seemed a little dazed.
However, she noticed the sentence that someone above was coming, and then she suddenly remembered, and said quickly: "Hoshino, Acerola said that she is coming, she is an expert in the ghost department, maybe she has a way to catch that The guy who stole the child!"
"What? Is this guy coming?"
"Correct!"
"This guy is also a big trouble."
Hoshino recalled the first time he met Acerola back then, it seemed that two years had passed in the blink of an eye, after so long, at least he could mature a little bit, but don't make dirty jokes...
Ula Ula Island is just to the southeast of Akara Island, very close, and it takes only half an hour for Acerola to arrive at the pier by boat.
It's been a long time since I saw her, but she still hasn't grown any taller, and she is still dressed in the same Mimi-Q style, with a skirt stitched out of rags. After seeing the two people waiting for her at the pier, she immediately ran forward.
"Alola~ Long time no see, do you miss Acerola~"
"No."
"Gengar!"
As soon as Hoshino responded, a large Geng Ghost suddenly jumped out with flashing special effects, and then stared at his own Geng Ghost with courteous eyes.
Two years ago in the Pokémon Academy, it was fascinated by the other party at a glance, especially when it ran away and tore the balloon at the back, it was not too handsome.
"Gengar..."
Stared at by this malicious gaze, the little Geng Gui retreated slightly, but Xinye Miao jumped up from Hoshino's shoulder and gave the big Geng Gui a slap!
"Meow"
Where are the eyes looking, you don't want it anymore, do you?
"It's as lively as ever~"
Seeing her Geng Gui being beaten, Acerola stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, then she looked at Lillie, pursed her lips, and complained: "Big sister, you really are, obviously in Alola, but You haven't come to play with me for such a long time, it really means that you will forget about my lovely sister when you have a man!"
"Haha, this..."
Lilia is also very embarrassed, and she can't go out and run around, but fortunately, staying at home and helping manage the website can relieve boredom.
At this time, Acerola also noticed the little Nebula she was holding, tilted her head, and asked curiously: "What kind of Pokémon is this? I haven't seen a duck before!"
"Little Xingyun, say hello to my sister."
"Hey~"
Little Xingyun waved her hand, and Liliai didn't put it in the bag because she was afraid it would be too stuffy, as long as she didn't run around.
"It's so cute, I'll give you candy~"
Acerola grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to Xiao Xingyun, then looked at Hoshino who was punching and kicking Big Geng Gui with Xinye Miao, leaned forward, showed a sly smile, and asked in a low voice : "How's the development with big sister? I've already done everything I need to do~ It feels...it hurts!"
Before he finished speaking, Hoshino knocked her on the head. If you can't beat others, can you also beat you?
"What are you thinking about all day long? Girls are only likable if they are reserved!"
"Tsk, I can tell by your attitude, useless things... If I were you, I would have taken down my eldest sister, and then all day long... it hurts!"
Acerola covered her head, her eyes were shining brightly, she pouted and shouted: "Don't keep beating me on the head! The president is not tall!"
"Your poor puberty has died long ago, and this life can only grow sideways."
"That's too much to say!"
"Too much is right~"
"Well!"
Acerola looked at him resentfully like a wronged little girl, but then changed her attitude, leaned forward again, and whispered: "I got some very good manga here, I'll give you a discount , do you want to~”
"Ok?"
Hoshino's eyes sharpened instantly, he glanced around immediately to confirm the situation, and then lowered his voice.
"want!"
But as soon as the words finished, Lilia blushed and shouted loudly: "I can hear you! You are not allowed to buy it!"
"..."
A few people made noise and left from the pier. Soon the topic returned to the main topic, and Acerola learned everything from them.
"So that's it. That's really serious. It's so close to me."
"Hey... I just don't have a clue now, and I don't know how to catch it at all."
"Don't worry big sister, as long as the other party comes out at night, I will be able to track it down!"
Acerola said very confidently that experts in the ghost department have more or less unusual abilities, so it is definitely not difficult for this kind of thing.
Hoshino hugged Geng Ghost and walked behind the two of them. At the same time, he and Xinye Miao stared at the other big Geng Ghost, and then he said: "Then act at night, there are still a few days until Halloween. There will be a lot of Pokémon, and maybe this prisoner will do something on Halloween!"
"Halloween~ The spirit world will open~"
"Huh? Wait... the spirit world?!"
"Hey, don't you forget, back then we were able to spend a night between the spirit world and the real world, at least we experienced it once!"
"That was not what I meant……"
Hearing Acerola mention that the passage to the spirit world would open on Halloween, Hoshino thought of Boss Boss deliberately mentioning Halloween. Could it be that the prisoner is related to the spirit world?Was it the civil servants of the spirit world who did it again?
After all, the spirit world is different. It belongs to the world of ghost-type Pokémon and undead, and no living person can enter it. If it is related to the spirit world this time, then these missing Pokémon...
"...you won't be taken to the spirit world!"
"Um?!"
Lillie and Acerola looked at him at the same time, and they all froze in place. What should I do if the living beings can't enter the spirit world?Just hang up and go!
"Could it be that those Pokémon have... been killed?"
"Impossible, civil servants in the spirit world have clear regulations that absolutely cannot kill living beings and bring their souls into the spirit world, otherwise the punishment will be very severe!"
Regarding this, Hoshino said in a casual tone: "It doesn't have to be with them, what if there is some small accident? They just passed by and picked up these souls by chance, um...just picked them up!"
"This……"
Acerola was speechless. Although the spirit world has issued regulations to restrict civil servants, but this is only when you are at work. Who will care about you after get off work?The standard for becoming a civil servant is to be strong, but there are no requirements for character.
Speaking of which, Lillie became more and more worried. She could only pray that the missing Pokémon were okay. Many of them had just come into this world and were taken away without doing anything...
The atmosphere became heavy in an instant. At this time, Hoshino said: "Then there should be a passage to the spirit world near Knicker City? Although it has not been opened, you must know something about it."
Hearing this, Acerola raised her little hand, and responded with a smile: "I do know something, as expected, you still have to look at me, then let's go~"
"Ok!"
On the outskirts of Konica City, there is a cemetery that is very famous in Alola. It is a place where people and Pokémon memories are connected, and sometimes some tourists come here to visit.
Acerola led the two of them to this side soon, and from a distance, one could find that the entire cemetery seemed to be surrounded by mist, and it was impossible to peek at every plant and tree in it, which was very mysterious.
"This is... the Hill of Memories?"
Lillie has read in the book that it is said that the Hill of Memories used to be the cemetery of the Alola Kingdom. Because it is close to the life relic where Tapu Diedie is, this cemetery has become a dividing line.
The dead can sleep here, but at the same time, they will also assume the responsibility of guarding the relics of life, so there will be a fog, and those who are not sincere will not be able to go through it to the relics of life to see the patron saint.
"Just fool the Alola people who attach great importance to their beliefs, who can be stopped by this thing, I can run over it on a motorcycle lizard..."
Hoshino complained silently in his heart. He didn't dare to say this kind of thing in the face. Maybe everyone wouldn't mind, but it would still cause some unpleasantness.
However, the cemetery is indeed a distant place for many ghost-type Pokémon, and there is a fog shrouded in it, so there is a high possibility that the prisoner is hiding in it!
At this moment, Lilia turned sideways and asked, "Is the passage to the spirit world just on the Hill of Memories? It's not Halloween yet, so how do we find it?"
"Go ahead and have a look around. Anyway, this is my family's cemetery. I'm going to chat with the ancestors. Maybe they know something."
"???"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't cause damage, the ancestors won't blame you~"
"...Is this the problem!"
"I'm a descendant of the Alola royal family. In the past, I was a serious princess. You don't really think I'm joking!"
Acerola deliberately showed off the gold armband worn on her left arm. This is the bracelet symbolizing the royal family. The Hill of Memories is the royal cemetery. Although it has become a scenic spot, it is not a problem to say that it belongs to her family.
Lilia was at a loss for words for a while, why does it feel like the plot is starting to develop in the direction of a horror movie?
"Meow~"
Xinye Miao yelled at her, as if mocking her at what age to be afraid of ghosts.
"I'm not afraid!"
Lilia pursed her lips and stared back. Hoshino shook his head while holding his forehead, and said, "Why do you care so much? Before it's dark, let's go in and have a look. This kind of place is not very safe at night."
"Don't worry, I'm here~"
Acerola was very confident, and then walked in with them...
Although it was daytime, the visibility here basically did not exceed five meters, and there was a fog as far as the eye could see, and the temperature was completely different from outside.
The surrounding area is unusually quiet, but there are frequent glances, as if there is something fluttering, which means that there are many wild ghost-type Pokémon living nearby.
Xin Yemiao remained vigilant, and if something happened, it would immediately use its calamity power, and Geng Gui was also watching very vigilantly.
The only exception is Little Nebula, which doesn't seem to know how to write the word fear without suffering.
Even in this kind of place, it was still full of excitement and curiosity, and even wanted to run out to play, but it didn't realize that in this fog, there were already several strange sights staring at it.
Lilia, who was holding Xiao Xingyun, felt a chill, and shivered subconsciously. She didn't know where it came from, but she was obviously not afraid at all. Could it be that her body was afraid?
"Meow?"
"Look at me..."
"Meow~"
Look at you~ Xinye Miao turned around and couldn't help snickering. She didn't expect this young lady to be so timid after so long, maybe she can find a chance to scare her next time.
"..."
Acerola continued to lead them around the cemetery, but unfortunately, as the sky gradually dimmed, they were still scurrying around like headless chickens.
Finally, Hoshino couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Isn't this your cemetery? Why are you still lost!"
"I haven't been here a few times!"
"Then you are still so confident!"
"I am confident that there will be no danger!"
"Stop teasing me!"
"It hurts...don't pat my head!"
"It's getting dark and you took us here to wander around. You are also a child. Be careful that a tomb dog will jump out and take you away. Go back to the city first, maybe the criminals will come to catch Pokémon again at night. "
"Who are you calling a child! I'm several years older than you... Hey! Don't run away!"
The two of them fought and left in the direction of Konica City. This fog will only hinder your progress. It is very easy to leave.
Lilia shook her head, and was about to follow Xiao Xingyun with her arms, but suddenly the temperature dropped suddenly, as if something was about to approach.
She subconsciously took out the elf ball, but it seemed that she was too nervous, and the elf ball slipped accidentally. This was a big deal, she could only look at the two people in front to remind them that there was danger here, but it was too late, just the next time Seconds, this sense of crisis suddenly disappeared.
"Eh?"
"Meow~"
Xinye Miao came to her side at some point, and she was lying on the ground holding her stomach and laughing loudly. She didn't expect to frighten her like this with just a little calamity energy, and she was still scared.
"..."
Li Liai was not stupid, and instantly guessed that the sense of crisis just now was caused by Xin Yemiao, so she wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead. Although she was relieved in her heart, her expression also became resentful.
"Don't play such a prank!"
"Meow~"
Xin Yemiao stood up and shook her head triumphantly. Seeing it like this, Lilia couldn't continue to say anything. After all, it wasn't her own Pokémon, and the other party wouldn't listen to her.
At this time, Hoshino's voice slowly sounded in front of him: "Are you still staying here because you want to spend the night here?"
"coming!"
"Meow!"
Liliai and Xin Yemiao glanced at each other, and then followed. Xiao Xingyun didn't know what happened, but thought it was very interesting.
It's just that after they all left, there seemed to be another figure floating in the mist...
The three of them returned to Konica City and began to wait after dinner. The criminals committed the crimes at night, so they had to wait here if they wanted to catch the other party. Unfortunately, the first night was fruitless.
Prisoners don't act every night, and there are no rules for their actions. Waiting for one night is fruitless, and several of them can only leave first.
Unexpectedly, Hoshino and the others did not come again on the second night, but when they were resting to replenish their energy, two more Pokémon disappeared in Kaniko City, and they missed them perfectly, so they came again on the third night, but unfortunately this time the other party no action...
At dawn, several people were having breakfast at a breakfast restaurant in the food street in the urban area. Li Liai watched Xiao Xingyun take a bite of a small steamed bun, then reached out and stroked its head, and sighed: "Why do we stagger every time? The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow." It's Halloween, there's not enough time..."
"I suspect it was deliberately targeted!"
Acerola was also very angry. She came here because she thought it was interesting, but in the end, she didn't wait to say anything, and she didn't even have time to sleep and play.
Hoshino touched her head with the hand that had just grabbed the steamed bun, and responded in a flat tone: "Thinking too much, it's just bad luck, but Halloween is coming soon, these few days can only be in the Stay here, do you want to go to the Hill of Memories?"
"Are you still going?"
"This time we turn around by ourselves, lest some guy who can get lost in his own cemetery lead the way."
"Hey! Who is this so-and-so! I'm angry, go and play by yourself, huh!"
"OK OK……"
Li Liai quickly smoothed things over. She has long been used to Hoshino's personality that likes to bully others. In the past, she was often bullied to the point of being speechless. Own.
That being the case, Acerola also shook her head: "Then let's go again, without my leading the way, I'm not responsible for what happens inside!"
"What can happen..."
Hoshino stood up and called Motor Lizard and New Yemiao, who had already eaten dozens of cages of steamed buns, to get ready to go. Geng Gui sat on his head, wary of other Geng Gui's approaching with malicious intentions...
A few people came to the Hill of Memories again. It was still the same as the previous few days, shrouded in fog, and there was no change. It was only when they got closer that they could clearly feel that it seemed to be getting colder.
"what's going on?"
"Halloween is getting closer and closer, and the passage to the spirit world is about to open. The spiritual power here has increased a lot, and it will naturally feel cold. People with poor physical fitness should not approach it casually, as it is easy to get sick."
Acerola explained, but she still had a smile on her face. She was naturally friendly with spiritual power, so staying in this kind of place would be very comfortable.
After understanding the situation, several people entered it again. Xin Yemiao used the ability of the Disaster Jade to raise the temperature a little, lest the motorcycle lizard be too cold to walk and unable to react to special circumstances.
This time it was Hoshino who led the way, and the other two followed, maybe because they were bored, Acerola stuck next to Lilia and asked in a low voice: "Why haven't you guys made any progress yet? Is it because you lack a strategy? Do you want me to see you off?" Do you want to study some pure love comics?"
"Uh... this, I... that, the main reason is that I don't know what he thinks of me."
"He obviously likes you!"
"how is this possible……"
"Big sister, you just don't have self-confidence. If he doesn't take the initiative, then you will take the initiative. A will win in one go!"
"I've taken the initiative, but not completely. You'd better not worry about my business..."
"Both of you have problems, no wonder Meiyue said in the group that she doesn't want to get involved in your affairs, and put it on me, I'm anxious to see it!"
"..."
Lilia didn't know how to respond, and Hoshino who heard the conversation between the two in front was even more embarrassed. He could hear any sound in such a quiet environment. Sure enough, it was better to pretend that he didn't hear it, and at the same time, his mind became a little confused.
The good atmosphere became inexplicably awkward. At this moment, Xiao Xingyun, who was hugged by Lilia, seemed to feel something, as if something was calling him in this mist.
"Huh?"
It was a little puzzled, and then it came out of its hand and floated curiously in a certain direction.
"Little Nebula!"
Hearing Liliai's voice, the other two immediately came to their senses, Geng Gui quickly chased after them, and the others also hurriedly chased after them.
Fortunately, Geng Gui was still fast, and Xiao Xingyun was quickly caught by it in the mist, but the others behind him hadn't caught up yet.
"Gengar!"
When Geng Gui hugged Little Nebula and was about to teach it not to run around, a grimace suddenly appeared from the mist behind him. Little Nebula, who was still curious, was frightened when he saw him.
"Hey!"
"Gengar!"
Without hesitation, Geng Gui swung his fist towards the back, but the grimace disappeared in an instant. Instead, someone hurriedly chased him from the side, and he was sent flying by the punch before it had time to recuperate. It rang, and even the tombstone in the distance was smashed.
"Meow!"
"Moligo!"
"Are you okay, Hoshino!"
"Gengar..."
For a moment, Liliai sat beside the shattered tombstone, let the half-dead Hoshino pillow on her lap, and while bandaging him, she educated Xiao Xingyun: "I told you not to run around!"
"Hey..."
Little Xingyun was aggrieved and floated aside. It just felt something calling itself, so it came here out of curiosity, so it's not considered running around.
"...Geng Gui couldn't hit me for no reason, there must be something that lured him over."
Hoshino spoke weakly, and Geng Gui, who was extremely self-blame, nodded immediately, while Liliai asked worriedly: "Are you okay, don't move around."
"A mere fatal injury, no..."
Before he finished speaking, Hoshino glanced at him before noticing where he was lying, paused for a moment, and whispered, "Then...let me lie down for a while."
"Well, have a good rest."
Lilia knew that he was taking advantage of her, but it didn't matter, it was just a knee pillow, but what the other party said just now caught her attention.
"You said something attracts... Wait, Xiao Xingyun is also a child!"
"Hey~"
Little Xingyun nodded quickly, expressing that he was indeed a child. At this moment, Acerola, who was strolling around, suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "This is the place! The passage to the spirit world is here!"
"sure?"
"Of course, haven't you noticed that the tombstones around here are all different? They are obviously much taller, because in the past only the king of Alola was eligible to be buried here!"
As soon as the words fell, Acerola was stunned for a moment, staring at the fragments of the tombstone, dazed for a moment, and shouted: "Look at what you have done! The tombstone of the ancestors was killed, how should I tell them?" Ah, Acerola has become a sinner... woohoo."
"..."
Hoshino couldn't stand her crying, so he could only leave Liliai's comfortable knee pillow, stand up with support, and then said, "I'll pay as much as I want. Do you want 502 to glue the tombstone? Or should I pay the whole cemetery?" All refurbished?"
Hearing this, Acerola immediately stopped crying, showed a playful smile, and raised her hand in response: "There is no need to renovate, as I am their descendant, you just need to compensate me directly."
"I'll compensate you for putting a tombstone here for you, and I'm doing you a favor."
"Hey~ It's okay to give me the money to buy the tombstone directly. Recently, the pocket money has been getting less and less, and it's not enough to buy comics."
"Where's your face?"
"Hey, stop arguing!"
When several people were making a noise in the cemetery, Xinye Miao jumped out suddenly pushing a metal ball with a diameter of about half a meter, and started to play with it. Maomao had no resistance to the ball.
But this attracted the attention of other people. They looked subconsciously and found that this strange metal ball looks a bit like an elf ball. The lower half is white, the upper half is metallic, and there are a pair of golden waves on the left and right sides. Wire.
"This is!"
Hoshino was taken aback, Acerola immediately jumped out and snatched the ball from Maomao's hands, and said curiously: "I seem to have seen this in my family's history book, it belongs to my ancestors!"
"Meow!"
Xin Yemiao exploded in an instant, this is a toy I found, how did it become yours?
Hearing this, Hoshino quickly asked, "Where did you find it?"
"Meow~"
Maomao pointed to the back of the shattered tombstone, where there was a wooden box damaged by the impact, which seemed to be the funeral object of the owner of the tomb.
After understanding the situation, Xinye Miao had already started a fight with Acerola. Mao Mao will not be polite to you, but the little girl is not easy to bully.
During the fight, the metal ball fell to the ground and was caught by Xiao Xingyun, but unfortunately it couldn't pick it up.
Lilia came to the side, looked at the metal ball curiously, then stretched out her hand, and touched its center circle.
But then, as if some mechanism was triggered, the metal ball suddenly shook, Hoshino quickly pulled her away, and then the two watched carefully,
I saw a strange body protruding from above the metal ball, with a vibrant red and blue color structure on the chest.
Its head is a medium-sized sphere with a seven-tooth gear-shaped hat fixed on it, and a pair of large ears that look a bit like two halves of a huge disc, like a rabbit.
There are spherical shoulders on both sides of the body, thin upper arms, claw-shaped forearms, and sharp hands. After the lower body is unfolded, it looks like a ball gown, and the legs are slightly pointed.
This sudden situation stopped the fighting between Xin Yemiao and Acerola, and this strange robot immediately attracted their attention.
"It really is Magearna!"
……
(End of this chapter)
It's another week before Halloween, although the recent strangeness of Alola has made the atmosphere in the whole area weird, and many Pokémon are reluctant to go out.
But the festival is approaching, and the ghost-type Pokémon who can finally celebrate the festival don't care about it, they continue to play music and dance, and the atmosphere is lively again.
On the other hand, the commemorative activities of Master House continued as in previous years.
This day last year was the day when the Youth Cup ended, and it was also the day when Hoshino and Lillie cleared up their misunderstanding and got back together, which is of great significance.
In one year, two new members, Tiebaolu and Xiaoxingyun, were added to the family, making it more lively every year. Finally, Lilia was really in the Wanshiwu and spent this anniversary with everyone.
Now she has finally fulfilled this regret. If she wants to talk about her wish, she actually still has some.
For example, taming a new Pokémon, being able to celebrate the New Year in the Master House, and being able to have a family reunion for a New Year’s Eve dinner... But this is basically impossible, and I can only dream about it.
In the early hours of the morning, the activity finally came to an end, and a bunch of tired Pokémon fell asleep in the living room. After taking pictures to commemorate, Hoshino and Lillie began to pack up.
The most sensible Geng Gui also followed, and then asked Tie Baolu to help clean up the garbage, and sent it all to the garbage station, which was much more convenient.
"Gengar~"
Recently, Geng Gui has been busy working with Sai Fuhao, helping Master House to receive the entrusted Pokémon. Although it is not tiring, it has also lost a lot of time to play. Fortunately, their festival is coming soon.
But at this time, Hoshino, who was holding the plate and preparing to go to the kitchen, suddenly said: "By the way, you guys don't want to run out of Kabukicho to play, there is a lot of Ultra Beast outside, you might not be an opponent if you fight alone, wait Follow me when I go out."
"Gengar~"
Geng Gui nodded and had no complaints. As the oldest Pokémon in the House of Everything besides the motorcycle lizard, although it is young, it just turned 3 years old today, but it is well-behaved and sensible and can take care of others. It is what everyone is talking about. need it to take care of.
Then it continued to help tidy up the living room. After everything was cleaned, it didn't forget to go back to the bedroom and take out the blankets to cover these guys.
After everything was over, it talked to Hoshino and went downstairs to the izakaya to continue playing.
Li Liai put down the mop, looked at Hoshino, and said with a light smile, "It feels like Geng Gui is really like a big sister who likes to take care of others~"
"It used to be very naughty, torturing me in the claw machine every day."
"I've heard you say it, but it also shows that you are very good at educating Pokémon."
"Education is one aspect, and willingness to work hard is another aspect. The credit cannot all be attributed to the trainer. Xinye Miao, Sai Fuhao, Pope Dolphin... Almost all of them were cared for by Geng Gui when they first came here. This is not my teaching. Yes, it learned by itself."
If you want to say who in the family reassures Hoshino the most, it must be Geng Gui who has no time to run away. He is well-behaved, sensible, lively and good at making friends, and he can mix up wherever he goes.
The only problem is that Geng Gui's blackening is too terrifying. He really rushed to kill the enemy completely, and he didn't even listen to his words.
And this just happens to explain that Geng Gui usually has a lot of backlog of pressure, but his personality is too good, even if he suffers any grievances, he will hide it and never show it. He will never let his family know. Only blackening can completely eliminate it. excitation.
At this time, Lillie suddenly remembered something again, and said with some concern: "By the way, the case of the disappearance of Pokémon in Kaniko City seems to be getting more and more serious, and the case has not been solved yet."
"That case, how should I put it... is a bit troublesome, and it won't be able to be dealt with in a short while. We still have a commission here."
"Ugh……"
The two of them suddenly brought up the topic of this case, while Geng Gui had already arrived in the izakaya, and greeted Long-tailed Firefox...
With the development of Ultra Beast, the traffic in the izakaya is getting worse and worse, and many familiar faces have not been seen in the past few days, which makes Geng Gui a little disappointed.
Fortunately, Haoli and Iron Bone Turen, who came here almost every day, were not afraid of these things at all, and the civil engineer who could work on the construction site for so long without running away was already not afraid of anything.
When King Daidai saw it, he asked, "Is the upstairs party over?"
"Gengar~"
Geng Gui nodded with a smile, and then floated not far away, just as Cang Yan Saber Ghost passed by with a plate, and they also greeted each other.
They have a very good relationship. When Geng Gui was first brought here by Hoshino, he was rescued by Cang Yan Saber Ghost. Although he was very afraid of each other at the time, after getting along with him, he felt that this big sister was just a little bit cold. Very caring.
Geng Gui has a secret. It is good at taking care of others. It actually learned it from Cang Yan Ren Gui. As for why the other party is so good at it, it also asked curiously, but it didn't get an answer.
In the middle of the night, the master house has turned off the lights to rest, and when the early morning arrives, many guests have gone home, Haoli and the others have also left, and they have to go to work tomorrow.
In a blink of an eye, there was no one customer left in the izakaya, and Geng Gui sat on the bar counter boredly, playing with the dumb beast who had been looking up at the sky and "screaming dumbly".
Sitting behind the bar, Dumb King was taking out a newspaper and reading it. He likes to read such things, but he doesn't like cell phones and the like.
Then it picked up a lollipop, and said slowly: "An accident happened again on Akara Island, and now Alola really can't calm down at all."
"Gengar?"
"It's a bit serious. There have been 77 incidents of newborn Pokémon disappearing in the middle of the night in Konica City. Not only the breeding houses, but even some trainers' homes have been brutally murdered... catching children, tsk, dumbfounded Look down on these guys."
Hearing this, Cang Yan Saber Ghost glanced at it, but was blocked by Dull King who shook his head: "Don't make extravagant matters that have nothing to do with us, this kind of thing should be done by the guy upstairs, he is not the last Do you like meddling in this kind of business?"
"Gengar~"
Geng Gui nodded, saying that this matter should be left to Wanshiwu, but there are guys who kidnap children, it is simply intolerable!
Seeing that it took the commission, the King of Silence deliberately reminded: "Be careful, the guy who can quietly capture the child must be very powerful, and Halloween is coming soon, maybe it has something to do with it."
"Gengar?"
In this way, during the daytime of the next day, Hoshino rushed downstairs and grabbed the umbrella-like collar of Daidaiwang, and shouted: "Is there anyone who sends out commissions like this! You fooled my Geng Gui to accept the commission every day, right?"
"Don't pull, don't pull, it's about to break."
"Humph!"
Hoshino snorted coldly, this guy used Geng Gui's trust to deal with trouble not once or twice, anyway, the final entrustment fell on himself, but this time the difficulty was obviously different.
When Nai-chan came to talk to Lillie before, he had paid attention to this case, but he didn't expect it to become more and more serious. Lila and the others also investigated it, and finally confirmed that it was not the work of the Ultra Beast, and it was probably more serious. weird stuff.
"Trouble to die for, so what about commission details? Just one Halloween?"
Hoshino just cursed a few words, but the next commission would definitely be completed, he believed that the other party must know some details, just because he was so upright, Daidaiwang was able to succeed almost every time.
Dumb King straightened his collar, and then said: "No one cares about this matter, I can only let you deal with it. After all, you like to meddle in business. Alola has been panicked enough recently. I don't want these messy things." Let’s continue to scare the guests away.”
"..."
"I don't know exactly what it is. After all, I didn't go to the scene to investigate, but I guess it might be related to Halloween. You have to trust your intuition!"
"..."
Hoshino has taken it, and let him handle the commission just because of this clue?Fortunately, Li Liai also followed, and quickly comforted: "Okay, okay, let's treat it as a commission from Sister Naijiang. At that time, I also promised to report it to be safe, but there is still no result yet."
"Ugh……"
Having said that, what else can Hoshino say?The main reason is that he was going to arrange the Z-movement plan next time, and a sudden commission came, which immediately disrupted the arrangement...
Back in Wanshiwu, Geng Gui didn't expect Hoshino to be so angry this time, so he lowered his head and floated aside with some self-blame.
"It's none of your business, it's just that this stupid boss is not a good person every day."
"Boss Boss is not a human being."
"..."
Hoshino was silenced by Lilia, and then contacted Lila, and asked the other party to send him some information about the last investigation of this case, so he had to study it carefully.
After reading the information soon, I found that the situation was indeed a bit serious. First of all, the missing cases were all in Konica City, and the missing Pokémon were either newborn or members of the baby team. They only targeted Pokémon, not human cub.
The time of disappearance can basically be determined, from ten o'clock to zero o'clock every night, and random locations in the city, there is no pattern to find, as if it is just a child...
After reading all of this, Li Liai was very angry: "It's disgusting, it's been like this to catch Pokémon, and the longest disappearance has been almost two months. Did Pokémon Hunter do it?"
"These guys don't have the ability, and the Ultra Beast crime has been ruled out, so it can only be a very dangerous Pokémon, and there should be more than one. The possibility of a gang committing crimes is very high."
Hoshino continued to speculate, but it's a pity that there are no clues to this case so far. Because of this, it has been almost two months and has not been solved.
Boss Boss doesn't want to take care of things, so let him deal with it. It must be that the case has developed to a very serious level, but this guy must know the reason, and even gave a Halloween reminder!
That is to say, the prisoner may be a ghost department?Thinking about it, only the ghost system and the super power system can do this, but the boss just gave a hint, and I don't know what he wants...
"It's troublesome... I can only go to Konica City to have a look first, and send the Z bracelet to Miss Lizi by the way."
"Can I go with you?"
"Ok?"
"I'm a little worried about these Pokémon, and...it's been almost two months, and I haven't left Kabukicho..."
Seeing Lilia's anxious expression, Hoshino shook his head, then stretched out his hand to gently pinch her face, and said, "It's okay, just follow me and don't run around."
"Ok!"
"Then let's go now, Sai Fuhao, you and Geng Gui will help look after the house, maybe we won't be back until tomorrow."
"Ji-Wah-Wah~"
"Gengar!"
Sai Fuhao said it was okay, it liked the feeling of being the boss, but Geng Gui refused, and it was the one who took the commission, so naturally it had to keep up!
"Okay, you can leave the iron burden at home, I'm afraid Sai Fuhao can't handle it alone."
"Drip-"
The iron burden nodded, indicating that it is okay. It generally seldom holds objections, and thinks more on its own. It belongs to the type that has its own opinions, but prefers to be more passive.
After the arrangement was made, they set off directly. Lilia was very happy to be able to go out after a long time. She sat sideways on the motorcycle lizard with Xiao Xingyun in her arms, and leaned on Hoshino to enjoy the scenery along the way.
But just after they left, the Dumb King came out of the izakaya again, looking at him calmly.
Then, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside it, but it didn't care, but said slowly: "They took the commission and left, wouldn't you issue the commission yourself for such a thing, you have to let me hand it over to them , just want to test it?"
"..."
……
The moment the two appeared in Hau Le City, they were discovered by people from the Ethereum Foundation. These people only had the task of stalking and would not do anything else.
After taking a boat in the port area, they soon came to Knicker City, and sure enough, they felt something was wrong as soon as they entered the city.
The police can be seen everywhere, especially around the cultivation house. The once lively streets are now hardly visited by tourists.
Xinye Miao felt it for a while, and there was no aura of disaster, so it was not a disaster, but it did have an unusual smell.
"It's really strange..."
Hoshino looked around, and Liliai also held Xiao Xingyun and carefully looked at it, but found nothing. Geng Gui floated aside and shook his head as well.
"I should ask the Pope Dolphin to ask. It has been running with the Muscle Mosquito every day during this time, and even joined forces to help the International Police defeat the Ultra Beast. Such a big thing happened here, they should know it too. .”
"Then ask when you get back."
"Ah."
Hoshino nodded slightly. When he went out to deal with commissions, he usually had Motor Lizard and New Leaf Meow. Other Pokémon would only be brought out if they had nothing to do, and they would definitely not bother them if they had something to do.
It was still early in the evening, so they first went to the Lizzie Gem Shop to find the Queen of the Island, and then handed over the Z bracelet to each other.
No way, most of the students have left Alola. Even Meiyue felt that building an alliance was very difficult after a summer vacation, so she decided to go to practice first, and then travel with Xiaoyang in the Kanto area to challenge the place over there. Gym.
So Hoshino now has six more Z bracelets in his hand. He is going to give one to the king of the island first, and the rest will be decided according to the situation.
Fortunately, there are many things going on in Konica City recently, and Li Zi has no chance to leave at all, and she is even very irritable as if she has reached menopause. When the two entered the gem shop to find someone, the clerk at the door still whispered to remind them not to talk nonsense.
At this moment, Li Zi was sitting at the innermost desk on the first floor of the gem shop, with a headache on her face and she didn't know what she was thinking. It was not until Hoshino and the two came that she finally recovered and greeted her with a smile.
"Alola~ I didn't tell you why I came here suddenly. The situation in Kenic City is not very good recently. If you come to play, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"We also came here after hearing about the disappearance of Pokémon in Konica City, to see if we can help."
Li Liai responded politely, Lizi listened, forced a trace of joy on her face, and said, "It's been almost two months, and I can only find a few clues, which should be related to ghost-type Pokémon..."
"We thought so too..."
"That's why it's such a headache. I finally found a boyfriend. As a result, a lot of things made it difficult for me to meet him. I'm in my 30s. If I can't find a marriage partner, I will be caught by those in the circle." A pile of rich women laugh at you!"
Lizi suddenly seemed to go crazy, startling the two people in front of her. Lilia quickly changed the subject, thought for a while, and asked, "Uh... Miss Lizi already has a boyfriend? It must be very good, right?"
Hearing this question, Lizi clasped her hands together, showing an idiot-like expression, and responded very excitedly: "He is a gym trainer in Dark Gray City, and he is an expert in using the rock system like me! His The charming squinting eyes and the bronze-colored strong figure are like dancing on my xp~”
"Almost got it..."
Hoshino couldn't bear it any longer. If you, a guy like Qishu who grows so young that he can't tell his age, puts on such an expression, I won't say anything to you.
Fortunately, they quickly explained the purpose of their visit. Hoshino handed the Z bracelet to the other party, and explained the important matters when using it again.
After listening, Li Zi put on the Z bracelet and nodded: "Don't worry, I've already prepared it, Rock Z, right? Just leave it to me!"
As the kings of Alola's islands, everything they do is for the sake of Alola's development. They will definitely help with this kind of thing unconditionally, even if they are at a disadvantage, it doesn't matter.
After sending out the Z bracelet, the two left the gem shop. At this moment, Lilia sighed softly and said, "Even the queen of the island can't do anything about it, so where do we start to investigate?"
"Well... how about asking online?"
Hoshino suddenly thought of a good idea. At this time, it is time to use the Wanshiwu website. This website is their circle. You can not only answer others' doubts, but also ask yourself!
After hearing his thoughts, Liliai immediately went to ask. Hoshino is usually busy all the time, so she has a lot of water, because she can't go out for surfing.
Then he directly talked about the current situation, and soon the following reply came...
Shui Lian: "Ah? Is it so scary? Are my parents and my sister all right? But they didn't tell me about such a big event in Nico City. I have to call back and ask."
Lillie: "Don't worry, there has been no human disappearance, and nothing will happen. It can be speculated that it should be the ghost of the ghost-type Pokémon, but there is no way to lock the other party."
Acerola: "Ghost department, right? Konic City, right? I'll come right over, I don't even know such an interesting thing..."
Paipa: "There won't be such a thing if you raise a mastiff godfather. The residents of Partia are worried that there will be wild ghost Pokémon entering their homes at night to steal things, so they will choose to raise a mastiff godfather to visit the nursing home."
A Feng: "I usually leave the unsold desserts for them at the dessert shop at night, so that they can reduce the chance of them stealing from other people's houses."
Pipa: "I don't like people stealing my food. Recently, Mr. Savaro is teaching us advanced dessert making. I'm busy with this."
Afeng: "Dessert? Does Paipa come to my dessert shop to learn?"
Zhulan: "This Wanshiwu seems quite interesting."
"..."
Seeing that Ms. Zhulan, who had joined the group for a month, actually spoke for the first time, Li Liai seemed a little dazed.
However, she noticed the sentence that someone above was coming, and then she suddenly remembered, and said quickly: "Hoshino, Acerola said that she is coming, she is an expert in the ghost department, maybe she has a way to catch that The guy who stole the child!"
"What? Is this guy coming?"
"Correct!"
"This guy is also a big trouble."
Hoshino recalled the first time he met Acerola back then, it seemed that two years had passed in the blink of an eye, after so long, at least he could mature a little bit, but don't make dirty jokes...
Ula Ula Island is just to the southeast of Akara Island, very close, and it takes only half an hour for Acerola to arrive at the pier by boat.
It's been a long time since I saw her, but she still hasn't grown any taller, and she is still dressed in the same Mimi-Q style, with a skirt stitched out of rags. After seeing the two people waiting for her at the pier, she immediately ran forward.
"Alola~ Long time no see, do you miss Acerola~"
"No."
"Gengar!"
As soon as Hoshino responded, a large Geng Ghost suddenly jumped out with flashing special effects, and then stared at his own Geng Ghost with courteous eyes.
Two years ago in the Pokémon Academy, it was fascinated by the other party at a glance, especially when it ran away and tore the balloon at the back, it was not too handsome.
"Gengar..."
Stared at by this malicious gaze, the little Geng Gui retreated slightly, but Xinye Miao jumped up from Hoshino's shoulder and gave the big Geng Gui a slap!
"Meow"
Where are the eyes looking, you don't want it anymore, do you?
"It's as lively as ever~"
Seeing her Geng Gui being beaten, Acerola stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, then she looked at Lillie, pursed her lips, and complained: "Big sister, you really are, obviously in Alola, but You haven't come to play with me for such a long time, it really means that you will forget about my lovely sister when you have a man!"
"Haha, this..."
Lilia is also very embarrassed, and she can't go out and run around, but fortunately, staying at home and helping manage the website can relieve boredom.
At this time, Acerola also noticed the little Nebula she was holding, tilted her head, and asked curiously: "What kind of Pokémon is this? I haven't seen a duck before!"
"Little Xingyun, say hello to my sister."
"Hey~"
Little Xingyun waved her hand, and Liliai didn't put it in the bag because she was afraid it would be too stuffy, as long as she didn't run around.
"It's so cute, I'll give you candy~"
Acerola grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to Xiao Xingyun, then looked at Hoshino who was punching and kicking Big Geng Gui with Xinye Miao, leaned forward, showed a sly smile, and asked in a low voice : "How's the development with big sister? I've already done everything I need to do~ It feels...it hurts!"
Before he finished speaking, Hoshino knocked her on the head. If you can't beat others, can you also beat you?
"What are you thinking about all day long? Girls are only likable if they are reserved!"
"Tsk, I can tell by your attitude, useless things... If I were you, I would have taken down my eldest sister, and then all day long... it hurts!"
Acerola covered her head, her eyes were shining brightly, she pouted and shouted: "Don't keep beating me on the head! The president is not tall!"
"Your poor puberty has died long ago, and this life can only grow sideways."
"That's too much to say!"
"Too much is right~"
"Well!"
Acerola looked at him resentfully like a wronged little girl, but then changed her attitude, leaned forward again, and whispered: "I got some very good manga here, I'll give you a discount , do you want to~”
"Ok?"
Hoshino's eyes sharpened instantly, he glanced around immediately to confirm the situation, and then lowered his voice.
"want!"
But as soon as the words finished, Lilia blushed and shouted loudly: "I can hear you! You are not allowed to buy it!"
"..."
A few people made noise and left from the pier. Soon the topic returned to the main topic, and Acerola learned everything from them.
"So that's it. That's really serious. It's so close to me."
"Hey... I just don't have a clue now, and I don't know how to catch it at all."
"Don't worry big sister, as long as the other party comes out at night, I will be able to track it down!"
Acerola said very confidently that experts in the ghost department have more or less unusual abilities, so it is definitely not difficult for this kind of thing.
Hoshino hugged Geng Ghost and walked behind the two of them. At the same time, he and Xinye Miao stared at the other big Geng Ghost, and then he said: "Then act at night, there are still a few days until Halloween. There will be a lot of Pokémon, and maybe this prisoner will do something on Halloween!"
"Halloween~ The spirit world will open~"
"Huh? Wait... the spirit world?!"
"Hey, don't you forget, back then we were able to spend a night between the spirit world and the real world, at least we experienced it once!"
"That was not what I meant……"
Hearing Acerola mention that the passage to the spirit world would open on Halloween, Hoshino thought of Boss Boss deliberately mentioning Halloween. Could it be that the prisoner is related to the spirit world?Was it the civil servants of the spirit world who did it again?
After all, the spirit world is different. It belongs to the world of ghost-type Pokémon and undead, and no living person can enter it. If it is related to the spirit world this time, then these missing Pokémon...
"...you won't be taken to the spirit world!"
"Um?!"
Lillie and Acerola looked at him at the same time, and they all froze in place. What should I do if the living beings can't enter the spirit world?Just hang up and go!
"Could it be that those Pokémon have... been killed?"
"Impossible, civil servants in the spirit world have clear regulations that absolutely cannot kill living beings and bring their souls into the spirit world, otherwise the punishment will be very severe!"
Regarding this, Hoshino said in a casual tone: "It doesn't have to be with them, what if there is some small accident? They just passed by and picked up these souls by chance, um...just picked them up!"
"This……"
Acerola was speechless. Although the spirit world has issued regulations to restrict civil servants, but this is only when you are at work. Who will care about you after get off work?The standard for becoming a civil servant is to be strong, but there are no requirements for character.
Speaking of which, Lillie became more and more worried. She could only pray that the missing Pokémon were okay. Many of them had just come into this world and were taken away without doing anything...
The atmosphere became heavy in an instant. At this time, Hoshino said: "Then there should be a passage to the spirit world near Knicker City? Although it has not been opened, you must know something about it."
Hearing this, Acerola raised her little hand, and responded with a smile: "I do know something, as expected, you still have to look at me, then let's go~"
"Ok!"
On the outskirts of Konica City, there is a cemetery that is very famous in Alola. It is a place where people and Pokémon memories are connected, and sometimes some tourists come here to visit.
Acerola led the two of them to this side soon, and from a distance, one could find that the entire cemetery seemed to be surrounded by mist, and it was impossible to peek at every plant and tree in it, which was very mysterious.
"This is... the Hill of Memories?"
Lillie has read in the book that it is said that the Hill of Memories used to be the cemetery of the Alola Kingdom. Because it is close to the life relic where Tapu Diedie is, this cemetery has become a dividing line.
The dead can sleep here, but at the same time, they will also assume the responsibility of guarding the relics of life, so there will be a fog, and those who are not sincere will not be able to go through it to the relics of life to see the patron saint.
"Just fool the Alola people who attach great importance to their beliefs, who can be stopped by this thing, I can run over it on a motorcycle lizard..."
Hoshino complained silently in his heart. He didn't dare to say this kind of thing in the face. Maybe everyone wouldn't mind, but it would still cause some unpleasantness.
However, the cemetery is indeed a distant place for many ghost-type Pokémon, and there is a fog shrouded in it, so there is a high possibility that the prisoner is hiding in it!
At this moment, Lilia turned sideways and asked, "Is the passage to the spirit world just on the Hill of Memories? It's not Halloween yet, so how do we find it?"
"Go ahead and have a look around. Anyway, this is my family's cemetery. I'm going to chat with the ancestors. Maybe they know something."
"???"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't cause damage, the ancestors won't blame you~"
"...Is this the problem!"
"I'm a descendant of the Alola royal family. In the past, I was a serious princess. You don't really think I'm joking!"
Acerola deliberately showed off the gold armband worn on her left arm. This is the bracelet symbolizing the royal family. The Hill of Memories is the royal cemetery. Although it has become a scenic spot, it is not a problem to say that it belongs to her family.
Lilia was at a loss for words for a while, why does it feel like the plot is starting to develop in the direction of a horror movie?
"Meow~"
Xinye Miao yelled at her, as if mocking her at what age to be afraid of ghosts.
"I'm not afraid!"
Lilia pursed her lips and stared back. Hoshino shook his head while holding his forehead, and said, "Why do you care so much? Before it's dark, let's go in and have a look. This kind of place is not very safe at night."
"Don't worry, I'm here~"
Acerola was very confident, and then walked in with them...
Although it was daytime, the visibility here basically did not exceed five meters, and there was a fog as far as the eye could see, and the temperature was completely different from outside.
The surrounding area is unusually quiet, but there are frequent glances, as if there is something fluttering, which means that there are many wild ghost-type Pokémon living nearby.
Xin Yemiao remained vigilant, and if something happened, it would immediately use its calamity power, and Geng Gui was also watching very vigilantly.
The only exception is Little Nebula, which doesn't seem to know how to write the word fear without suffering.
Even in this kind of place, it was still full of excitement and curiosity, and even wanted to run out to play, but it didn't realize that in this fog, there were already several strange sights staring at it.
Lilia, who was holding Xiao Xingyun, felt a chill, and shivered subconsciously. She didn't know where it came from, but she was obviously not afraid at all. Could it be that her body was afraid?
"Meow?"
"Look at me..."
"Meow~"
Look at you~ Xinye Miao turned around and couldn't help snickering. She didn't expect this young lady to be so timid after so long, maybe she can find a chance to scare her next time.
"..."
Acerola continued to lead them around the cemetery, but unfortunately, as the sky gradually dimmed, they were still scurrying around like headless chickens.
Finally, Hoshino couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Isn't this your cemetery? Why are you still lost!"
"I haven't been here a few times!"
"Then you are still so confident!"
"I am confident that there will be no danger!"
"Stop teasing me!"
"It hurts...don't pat my head!"
"It's getting dark and you took us here to wander around. You are also a child. Be careful that a tomb dog will jump out and take you away. Go back to the city first, maybe the criminals will come to catch Pokémon again at night. "
"Who are you calling a child! I'm several years older than you... Hey! Don't run away!"
The two of them fought and left in the direction of Konica City. This fog will only hinder your progress. It is very easy to leave.
Lilia shook her head, and was about to follow Xiao Xingyun with her arms, but suddenly the temperature dropped suddenly, as if something was about to approach.
She subconsciously took out the elf ball, but it seemed that she was too nervous, and the elf ball slipped accidentally. This was a big deal, she could only look at the two people in front to remind them that there was danger here, but it was too late, just the next time Seconds, this sense of crisis suddenly disappeared.
"Eh?"
"Meow~"
Xinye Miao came to her side at some point, and she was lying on the ground holding her stomach and laughing loudly. She didn't expect to frighten her like this with just a little calamity energy, and she was still scared.
"..."
Li Liai was not stupid, and instantly guessed that the sense of crisis just now was caused by Xin Yemiao, so she wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead. Although she was relieved in her heart, her expression also became resentful.
"Don't play such a prank!"
"Meow~"
Xin Yemiao stood up and shook her head triumphantly. Seeing it like this, Lilia couldn't continue to say anything. After all, it wasn't her own Pokémon, and the other party wouldn't listen to her.
At this time, Hoshino's voice slowly sounded in front of him: "Are you still staying here because you want to spend the night here?"
"coming!"
"Meow!"
Liliai and Xin Yemiao glanced at each other, and then followed. Xiao Xingyun didn't know what happened, but thought it was very interesting.
It's just that after they all left, there seemed to be another figure floating in the mist...
The three of them returned to Konica City and began to wait after dinner. The criminals committed the crimes at night, so they had to wait here if they wanted to catch the other party. Unfortunately, the first night was fruitless.
Prisoners don't act every night, and there are no rules for their actions. Waiting for one night is fruitless, and several of them can only leave first.
Unexpectedly, Hoshino and the others did not come again on the second night, but when they were resting to replenish their energy, two more Pokémon disappeared in Kaniko City, and they missed them perfectly, so they came again on the third night, but unfortunately this time the other party no action...
At dawn, several people were having breakfast at a breakfast restaurant in the food street in the urban area. Li Liai watched Xiao Xingyun take a bite of a small steamed bun, then reached out and stroked its head, and sighed: "Why do we stagger every time? The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow." It's Halloween, there's not enough time..."
"I suspect it was deliberately targeted!"
Acerola was also very angry. She came here because she thought it was interesting, but in the end, she didn't wait to say anything, and she didn't even have time to sleep and play.
Hoshino touched her head with the hand that had just grabbed the steamed bun, and responded in a flat tone: "Thinking too much, it's just bad luck, but Halloween is coming soon, these few days can only be in the Stay here, do you want to go to the Hill of Memories?"
"Are you still going?"
"This time we turn around by ourselves, lest some guy who can get lost in his own cemetery lead the way."
"Hey! Who is this so-and-so! I'm angry, go and play by yourself, huh!"
"OK OK……"
Li Liai quickly smoothed things over. She has long been used to Hoshino's personality that likes to bully others. In the past, she was often bullied to the point of being speechless. Own.
That being the case, Acerola also shook her head: "Then let's go again, without my leading the way, I'm not responsible for what happens inside!"
"What can happen..."
Hoshino stood up and called Motor Lizard and New Yemiao, who had already eaten dozens of cages of steamed buns, to get ready to go. Geng Gui sat on his head, wary of other Geng Gui's approaching with malicious intentions...
A few people came to the Hill of Memories again. It was still the same as the previous few days, shrouded in fog, and there was no change. It was only when they got closer that they could clearly feel that it seemed to be getting colder.
"what's going on?"
"Halloween is getting closer and closer, and the passage to the spirit world is about to open. The spiritual power here has increased a lot, and it will naturally feel cold. People with poor physical fitness should not approach it casually, as it is easy to get sick."
Acerola explained, but she still had a smile on her face. She was naturally friendly with spiritual power, so staying in this kind of place would be very comfortable.
After understanding the situation, several people entered it again. Xin Yemiao used the ability of the Disaster Jade to raise the temperature a little, lest the motorcycle lizard be too cold to walk and unable to react to special circumstances.
This time it was Hoshino who led the way, and the other two followed, maybe because they were bored, Acerola stuck next to Lilia and asked in a low voice: "Why haven't you guys made any progress yet? Is it because you lack a strategy? Do you want me to see you off?" Do you want to study some pure love comics?"
"Uh... this, I... that, the main reason is that I don't know what he thinks of me."
"He obviously likes you!"
"how is this possible……"
"Big sister, you just don't have self-confidence. If he doesn't take the initiative, then you will take the initiative. A will win in one go!"
"I've taken the initiative, but not completely. You'd better not worry about my business..."
"Both of you have problems, no wonder Meiyue said in the group that she doesn't want to get involved in your affairs, and put it on me, I'm anxious to see it!"
"..."
Lilia didn't know how to respond, and Hoshino who heard the conversation between the two in front was even more embarrassed. He could hear any sound in such a quiet environment. Sure enough, it was better to pretend that he didn't hear it, and at the same time, his mind became a little confused.
The good atmosphere became inexplicably awkward. At this moment, Xiao Xingyun, who was hugged by Lilia, seemed to feel something, as if something was calling him in this mist.
"Huh?"
It was a little puzzled, and then it came out of its hand and floated curiously in a certain direction.
"Little Nebula!"
Hearing Liliai's voice, the other two immediately came to their senses, Geng Gui quickly chased after them, and the others also hurriedly chased after them.
Fortunately, Geng Gui was still fast, and Xiao Xingyun was quickly caught by it in the mist, but the others behind him hadn't caught up yet.
"Gengar!"
When Geng Gui hugged Little Nebula and was about to teach it not to run around, a grimace suddenly appeared from the mist behind him. Little Nebula, who was still curious, was frightened when he saw him.
"Hey!"
"Gengar!"
Without hesitation, Geng Gui swung his fist towards the back, but the grimace disappeared in an instant. Instead, someone hurriedly chased him from the side, and he was sent flying by the punch before it had time to recuperate. It rang, and even the tombstone in the distance was smashed.
"Meow!"
"Moligo!"
"Are you okay, Hoshino!"
"Gengar..."
For a moment, Liliai sat beside the shattered tombstone, let the half-dead Hoshino pillow on her lap, and while bandaging him, she educated Xiao Xingyun: "I told you not to run around!"
"Hey..."
Little Xingyun was aggrieved and floated aside. It just felt something calling itself, so it came here out of curiosity, so it's not considered running around.
"...Geng Gui couldn't hit me for no reason, there must be something that lured him over."
Hoshino spoke weakly, and Geng Gui, who was extremely self-blame, nodded immediately, while Liliai asked worriedly: "Are you okay, don't move around."
"A mere fatal injury, no..."
Before he finished speaking, Hoshino glanced at him before noticing where he was lying, paused for a moment, and whispered, "Then...let me lie down for a while."
"Well, have a good rest."
Lilia knew that he was taking advantage of her, but it didn't matter, it was just a knee pillow, but what the other party said just now caught her attention.
"You said something attracts... Wait, Xiao Xingyun is also a child!"
"Hey~"
Little Xingyun nodded quickly, expressing that he was indeed a child. At this moment, Acerola, who was strolling around, suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "This is the place! The passage to the spirit world is here!"
"sure?"
"Of course, haven't you noticed that the tombstones around here are all different? They are obviously much taller, because in the past only the king of Alola was eligible to be buried here!"
As soon as the words fell, Acerola was stunned for a moment, staring at the fragments of the tombstone, dazed for a moment, and shouted: "Look at what you have done! The tombstone of the ancestors was killed, how should I tell them?" Ah, Acerola has become a sinner... woohoo."
"..."
Hoshino couldn't stand her crying, so he could only leave Liliai's comfortable knee pillow, stand up with support, and then said, "I'll pay as much as I want. Do you want 502 to glue the tombstone? Or should I pay the whole cemetery?" All refurbished?"
Hearing this, Acerola immediately stopped crying, showed a playful smile, and raised her hand in response: "There is no need to renovate, as I am their descendant, you just need to compensate me directly."
"I'll compensate you for putting a tombstone here for you, and I'm doing you a favor."
"Hey~ It's okay to give me the money to buy the tombstone directly. Recently, the pocket money has been getting less and less, and it's not enough to buy comics."
"Where's your face?"
"Hey, stop arguing!"
When several people were making a noise in the cemetery, Xinye Miao jumped out suddenly pushing a metal ball with a diameter of about half a meter, and started to play with it. Maomao had no resistance to the ball.
But this attracted the attention of other people. They looked subconsciously and found that this strange metal ball looks a bit like an elf ball. The lower half is white, the upper half is metallic, and there are a pair of golden waves on the left and right sides. Wire.
"This is!"
Hoshino was taken aback, Acerola immediately jumped out and snatched the ball from Maomao's hands, and said curiously: "I seem to have seen this in my family's history book, it belongs to my ancestors!"
"Meow!"
Xin Yemiao exploded in an instant, this is a toy I found, how did it become yours?
Hearing this, Hoshino quickly asked, "Where did you find it?"
"Meow~"
Maomao pointed to the back of the shattered tombstone, where there was a wooden box damaged by the impact, which seemed to be the funeral object of the owner of the tomb.
After understanding the situation, Xinye Miao had already started a fight with Acerola. Mao Mao will not be polite to you, but the little girl is not easy to bully.
During the fight, the metal ball fell to the ground and was caught by Xiao Xingyun, but unfortunately it couldn't pick it up.
Lilia came to the side, looked at the metal ball curiously, then stretched out her hand, and touched its center circle.
But then, as if some mechanism was triggered, the metal ball suddenly shook, Hoshino quickly pulled her away, and then the two watched carefully,
I saw a strange body protruding from above the metal ball, with a vibrant red and blue color structure on the chest.
Its head is a medium-sized sphere with a seven-tooth gear-shaped hat fixed on it, and a pair of large ears that look a bit like two halves of a huge disc, like a rabbit.
There are spherical shoulders on both sides of the body, thin upper arms, claw-shaped forearms, and sharp hands. After the lower body is unfolded, it looks like a ball gown, and the legs are slightly pointed.
This sudden situation stopped the fighting between Xin Yemiao and Acerola, and this strange robot immediately attracted their attention.
"It really is Magearna!"
