What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

Evil Ghost Pon [Grass]: Its attribute changes depending on the mask it wears. It uses its agility and kicking techniques to toy with its enemies. It enjoys pranks and has a strong curiosity. It unleashes the attribute energy hidden within its mask during battle.

Once its mask is removed, you can see its lovely face, without any trace of evil spirit.

So warm, so gentle...

"Gab-bang." Ergui Pon looked at Xiaozhi, and was instantly overwhelmed by this warmth, choosing not to run away.

"Pikachu Pikachu~~" At this moment, Pikachu handed the mask to Ursaring, showing a gentle attitude together with Ash.

"Oogap~" Erguipong took the mask from Pikachu and carefully put it on its face. The mask covered its true face. It stood up, leaned forward slightly, and bowed slightly to express its gratitude to Ash and Pikachu for their help.

Then, Evil Pine's gaze lingered on Ash.

Its gaze remained unwavering; Ash was its sole focus.

"Looking at me like that, is there something strange on my face?"

Ash tilted his head in confusion, looking at the other person with bewilderment.

"Gah? Ga-pong, ga-pong. (Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry!)"

The strange creature in front of him suddenly became frightened and uneasy, and hurriedly apologized to Xiaozhi.

Its gaze kept lingering on Ash, mistaking him for a former companion.

But it understood one thing: it was known as a 'ghost' in Beishang Township, a creature despised by everyone, and had no right to come here.

Even the man in front of him, upon learning that it was a 'ghost,' would surely feel fear and want to stay away.

"It's okay, I don't mind this kind of thing. You don't need to apologize. If you want to see it, just look. You can say it openly and honestly." Xiao Zhi touched Ergui's little head with his hand, showing no fear whatsoever.

It appeared dignified and had a warm, sunny feel, illuminating a light that had not been seen in the centuries since the Egui Pong.

"Zhizhi, where are you going? There are evil spirits around here!"

"Honey, does my saliva really not taste good?"

"Xiao Zhi, you don't actually want to drink Su Shi's saliva, do you?"

As his girlfriends walked over, they discovered the strange creature and couldn't help but feel curious.

What kind of Pokémon is this? They've never seen it before.

"Could it be... that this is the legendary 'ghost'?!"

Suddenly, Lixi's purple pupils widened, drawing everyone's attention.

"Lixi, do you know about this Pokémon?"

Ash hugged the Spectral to his arms, not wanting it to escape, and wanted to face reality head-on.

"Clang?! Clang!" Ergui Pong struggled rapidly, but couldn't get out of Xiaozhi's palm.

In the end, Ursaring gave up struggling because it was afraid of hurting Ash.

More importantly, it inexplicably sensed that Ash meant it no harm and that there was a unique warmth in him.

The same warm and gentle feeling as its former companions would make the Evil Pine involuntarily choose to accept it.

“I am an international police officer. My colleagues have all investigated the ghosts in Kitakami Township, but only one old man gave different information, so I was able to identify the ghost’s appearance immediately.”

Lixi briefly explained her situation, and then she noticed that most of the people were looking at her curiously.

Intelligence? What intelligence?!

"Sigh...you absolutely must keep this a secret." Li Xi told him the story with a hint of impatience.

She has a duty of confidentiality, but...

Damn it! Ash is looking at me with curiosity, how am I supposed to refuse?!

Don't look at me like that! I can't stand it!

“Hundreds of years ago…” Lixi’s cheeks flushed, her heart pounded, and she began to recount the information.

As a result, they didn't notice that Uri, a villager from Kitakami Township, was spying on them not far away.

"Information about ghosts? What's going on?"

Wuli admired Ergui Pon's power and thought it was very cool that it could defeat Baoban, so she quickly covered her mouth and didn't say anything, silently listening to the information that Lixi was saying.

1294 The Legend of the Evil Pine, the Mischief of the Crow Chestnut

Hundreds of years ago, a man from a foreign land brought a strangely-looking Pokémon, Ghoul, to Kitakami Village. Because their makeup and appearance were out of place with the villagers, they were ostracized as outsiders and were not allowed to enter the village.

Upon seeing this, the village's mask maker carved four masks for the man and the Pokémon to cover their faces so that they could blend into the group.

Gouzan Dog, Yuanzeng Ape, and Jizhi Chicken came to Beishang Township to steal the mask.

However, the man suddenly returned to his cave during the theft and witnessed the entire incident. He fought back fiercely and ultimately protected one of the masks.

Several hours later, Egui Pon returned to his residence and found only traces of the struggle and a green mask. He put on the mask and ran down the mountain in a rage, defeating Gouzan Gou, Yuanzeng Yuan, and Jizhiji who stole the mask. He severely injured the mastermind, Taodailang, and sealed him in his peach shell, putting him into a deep sleep.

However, the unsuspecting villagers only saw the demon's furious outburst and were terrified. They believed that the dog, the monkey, and the pheasant had protected the village from the demon's clutches, so they affectionately called them "treasure companions" and gave them a proper burial.

The injured Egui Pon, immersed in grief, returned to his residence alone.

The mask maker, who knew the truth, kept telling the villagers the real situation, but not only did no one listen, but he was also regarded as a heretic and suffered persecution.

To protect his descendants, he preserved the truth and ensured that his descendants would continue to pass on the true history.

"What is all this?! Poor Egui Peng! The Treasures are so mean! Zhizhi, let's let the residents of Emerald Town know the truth!"

After hearing the whole story, Aine couldn't help but take out her Poké Ball, and her mood soured.

How could this be?! The evil spirits were persecuted, but these dogs, monkeys, and pheasants were worshipped and even given lavish burials. How could they be so beastly? It's a miracle they didn't tear up their graves.

"Calm down! Isn't it all just a legend? Only..."

"I think that's very likely."

Before Lixi could finish speaking, Xiaozhi interrupted him and solemnly expressed his own thoughts.

"At least, I don't think the Evil Phantom in my arms is as cruel as the rumored 'ghost'. It seems cute and gentle, and the story Lixi told is much more reasonable than the rumors told by the residents of Emerald Town."

Ash held Ursaring tightly in his arms, sharing his body heat with it.

Rather than doubting, one should choose to believe. This approach will undoubtedly win over the monster and increase its favorability.

"Oh, come on?..." His words instantly stole E Guipeng's heart.

This was the first time in hundreds of years that it had heard someone say such a thing, choosing to believe it instead of treating it as a ghost.

This is the first time in hundreds of years... in hundreds of years...

I haven't felt this warmth since my trainer left.

It's so great that I was able to run today...

"Gah... Gah..." Suddenly, countless tears flowed from Evil Pon's star-like eyes. These tears flowed silently under the mask, dripping onto Ash's hand.

"It's okay, no one here will hurt you. Just vent your emotions. We will definitely be able to find out the truth."

Ash was touched by Urgot's tears, and he gently stroked Urgot's head.

Upon seeing this, the girls all looked on with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Damn it! I want Ash (Satoshi) to do that to me too!

You filthy scoundrel, give us back our spot!

They didn't have too much doubt about Ash's choice of Urgot.

That blockhead Satoshi is always like this, able to easily steal a Pokémon's heart and skip the process to get the answer.

Ash seems to have a mysterious talent for Pokémon, easily able to read their minds and take care of them.

This is something they don't have, and because they like and trust Ash, they won't doubt his thoughts.

"Satoshi! I want one too!" Just then, Aine shamelessly snuggled into Satoshi's arms.

"I understand." Xiao Zhi helplessly reached out and stroked Aine's pink hair.

"I...I want some too." The lamp, slightly embarrassed, also moved closer to Ash's arms.

"Seriously, can you guys stop being so shameful? Aren't you all still trying to find the truth? Then stop making a fool of yourselves."

Su Shi's nose twitched slightly as she picked up Xiao Zhi's jacket, sniffing it carefully, a hint of pleasure in her eyes.

"Sniff~~"

"Huh!? How dare you talk about others like that?"

When Lixi saw it, he wanted to punch the Dynamaxed breasts of the woman below and flatten them.

Lixi: You little rascal, when did you steal Xiaozhi's jacket?!

"A ghost... is it actually the victim? That's... not cool at all."

Wu Li walked aimlessly along the road, his mind seemingly elsewhere. He paid no attention to the pedestrians or the scenery around him. His steps were mechanical and sluggish, as if he were sleepwalking, without any goal or direction.

"It's clearly Hoban who's causing trouble, yet everyone's ostracizing the demon! And the champion... just holding the demon in his arms like that... I wanted to capture the demon too, so why is it the outsider who sees the demon, and not me?"

His destination was Baoban Square, and when he saw the altar with three memorial statues in front of him, his emotions suddenly changed drastically.

Baoban Square: This is where the villagers from the north buried Baoban. An altar with three memorial stone statues was built on the burial site.

"I've been wanting to meet a ghost so much, but I've never done it. Instead, the champion met a ghost first!"

Wu Li's anger erupted like a volcano, and he angrily punched the altar of the memorial statue.

The stone statue was hit, triggering a chain reaction.

Wu Li seemed to have lost control, and couldn't help but throw punches repeatedly, each one hitting the stone statues hard.

These memorial statues had simply stood there quietly before.

"why why?"

As Wu Li continued to bombard the statue, the light on it gradually intensified, turning from a faint flash into a dazzling brilliance. Wu Li was completely immersed in his anger, his reason consumed by rage, and he did not notice the changes in the statue.

Boom boom boom——!

Suddenly, the statue emitted a purple light, intense and profound, a stark contrast to Wu Li's fury. The statue began to tremble violently, accompanied by a rustling sound.

"Huh?" Wu Li was shocked by this sudden change. He looked up at the stone statue with a puzzled expression.

1295 The Resurrected Companion

Immediately afterwards, a powerful purple beam of light shot out from the statue, soaring into the air. The statue's structure shattered, and fragments flew everywhere.

"Great!" "I wish there were more!" "Auspicious pheasant!"

The moment the stone statue shattered, three Pokémon known as the Pokémon Companions of Kitakami Township appeared on it, radiating overwhelming malice and with fierce eyes.

The awesome dog, the wish-granting ape, and the lucky pheasant, a treasure duo, here we come!

"Is this a lie? Baoban has come back to life?" Wuli stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

This...this...could this be my fault?!

I remember this companion was a villain!

"Look, it's Babylon!" "It really is, it's Babylon!" "It's come back to life!"

Before Wu Li could react, the villagers of Cui Lv Town were all excitedly watching Bao Ban.

The treasure companions were once the heroes who protected Beishang Township and were loved by the villagers. To express their gratitude, the villagers built stone statues for them.

Being able to see it with their own eyes is extremely exciting for them.

"Awesome!! (Give me everything!!)"

The dog was so clever that it snatched a child's candy apple and ate it itself.

"Waaaaah... Mommy!! My friend is bullying me!"

"Eh?!...Baby, this is my child's apple candy, could you please not take it?"

The child's mother rushed towards the dog, wanting to argue with it.

Her face was filled with anxiety; her efforts were destined to end in failure.

"Great!" The Great Dog's reaction surprised everyone. It quickly swallowed the apple candy in the child's hand and then punched the child's mother hard.
