Chapter 1084 Return to the Future
Passed away?
Kashiwagi and Ryuto looked at each other in disbelief.
They were so curious about who the mastermind was that they came here wearing new masks, but it turned out that he had already passed away?
The young man outside was still vigilant, but after seeing the strange-looking Tao Dailang, his vigilance turned into disgust.
"It's this bad guy!"
"Bad things..."
Kashiwagi twitched the corner of his mouth and found that Taodailang was still looking for the family of Grandpa Masahiko mentioned by the young man. He opened a screen from time to time, and his expression changed between expectation and frustration.
It seems that it does not understand what "death" means.
From Taodailang's appearance, we can see that he has a deep affection for Grandpa Masahiko's family.
The dragon man whispered, "What should we do now?"
"What should I do..."
Kashiwagi slapped his forehead.
The young man observed them from a distance, then suddenly turned and ran away, shouting at the top of his voice: "That bad guy is back! The evil monster that bewitched Grandpa Masahiko and Grandma Xizi is back! Come on, everyone!"
"what??"
The dragon man was startled and started to chase after him.
Baimu stopped him and said, "Let him shout. It will save us from asking others for information."
The dragon man's idea made sense, so he released the Super Armored Rhino to avoid unnecessary conflict.
Living in Kitakami Township these days gave him a general understanding of the ancient social environment, and he knew that the taller the Pokémon, the easier it was to intimidate ordinary people.
Tao Dailang searched all the rooms but couldn't find his beloved grandparents. He felt disappointed and confused.
"Yeah?"
Where did they go?
at the same time.
The quiet village gradually became lively.
Young and strong male villagers armed with pitchforks and sticks surrounded the abandoned wooden house in groups, shouting at the two men to come out.
They wanted to break in, but when they saw the Super Armored Rhino, they stopped in tacit understanding.
"Nah!"
Tao Dailang frantically sought shelter from Gouzan Dog and the others, but unfortunately all his companions were in Kashiwagi's Poké Ball.
It had no choice but to roll on the ground and turn into a peach to pretend to be dead.
"This guy……"
When Kashiwagi saw its appearance and thought of the information he had seen in the illustrated book before, he felt inexplicably speechless.
[Pokémon: ? ? ? (Tentative name Momotaro)]
[Attributes: Poison + Ghost (tentative)]
[Gender: None]
【Height: 27cm/0.3kg】
【characteristic:? ? ? 】
【Level: 70】
[Moves: Turbid Mist/Poisonous Gas/Farewell Gift/Scare]
[Retreat into a shell/Same fate/Fake crying/Throwing harsh words]
[Shadow Ball/Poison/Trick/Self-Regeneration/???]
It's a level 70 Pokémon after all, what are you afraid of? Could the ancient people be higher level than you?
Kashiwagi picked up the peach and slapped it twice, "You're so cowardly and mean!"
"Nah!"
Tao Dailang shook his body as if in protest.
The time they had spent together made it realize that apart from forcing it to work, Baimu would not hurt it at will, so it became much bolder.
"Dear fellow villagers! Please be patient! We are only here to find the owner of this monster."
The dragon man stepped forward to negotiate with the villagers.
The innocent boy's appearance made many people restrain their hostility.
He continued, "We came from Beishang Township. This demon beast and its accomplices were causing chaos in Beishang Township, but we tamed them. We traced their origins to Guibao Land..."
"It's not our village's monster! We are victims too! And this bad thing has harmed Grandpa Masahiko's family!"
The young man said this through gritted teeth.
When Tao Dailang heard someone mention his grandfather, he quietly opened the shell and looked out.
Kashiwagi glanced at it and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"
Suddenly.
Shouts and curses came from the back of the crowd.
"Put down your weapons! What are you shouting and screaming about? Get out of the way!"
The panicked villagers immediately moved to the sides, revealing a middle-aged man.
The other party smiled and said, "You two beast masters have come from afar. Welcome. I am the chief of Taotao Village. I hope you will forgive me for my rudeness and disrespect."
Is the village chief so educated?
Baimu was surprised in his heart, but said on the surface: "We are so presumptuous. I wonder if the village chief can explain what happened here?"
"Please allow me to explain the whole matter while I entertain you two."
The head of Taotao Village took the initiative to invite us.
then.
Scene changes.
They came to a tea room with tatami mats.
The village chief did not keep the matter in suspense. He just looked at the bewildered Tao Dailang with complicated eyes and told him the whole story as he knew it.
It turned out that Tao Dailang was adopted by an elderly couple who had lost their son in middle age.
Even if it is a monster, he still treats it as his own.
But for some reason, the originally kind and simple old couple changed their temperaments. They became reclusive, greedy, and wanted to get everything they saw.
For this reason, Tao Dailang often stole various things from the villagers' homes.
Since it was unclear who stole it at the time, everyone had to suffer in silence.
Who would have thought that all the nearby villages were robbed!
As a result, all kinds of rumors spread around, and some people even thought that it was a monster wreaking havoc, and paid a large sum of money to hire a monster master to solve it.
In the end, nothing was achieved.
Until a while ago, the old couple suddenly appeared and told the villagers what had happened - they had asked Tao Dailang to steal the things.
Then he returned all the stolen items.
They even wanted to go to other villages to admit their mistakes to the owners and return the stolen items, but were stopped by the villagers.
On the one hand, the old couple are kind to others and they feel that there must be a reason for this; on the other hand, if others knew that the criminal who committed such a shocking crime was in Taotao Village.
Wouldn't their village be destroyed?
After being stopped, the old couple didn't say anything and returned home quietly.
But when the villagers visited the house again, they were shocked to find that the old couple had passed away.
"…Suicide?"
The dragon man's eyes widened.
The village chief said sadly, "I don't know... but Uncle Zhengyan left a letter, saying that he was ashamed of his ancestors and couldn't face us again. We collected the remains of the two elders and buried them properly in the peach forest according to the instructions in the letter."
The tea room was peaceful.
Until a sharp gasp suddenly sounded, coming from Tao Dailang's collapse.
“N-N-N!!”
It screamed and shook its head, its voice filled with pain and despair.
It was obvious that Tao Dailang finally understood what they were saying.
It suddenly flew outward and disappeared in an instant.
The village chief was shocked and said: "This..."
"Can I borrow the letter to take a look?" Baimu didn't care where Taodailang was going, he just wanted to take a look at the letter.
The village chief nodded with a complicated expression.
After a while.
Kashiwagi and Long Ren lowered their heads to observe, and Long Ren blinked, "Kashiwagi, do you understand?"
"Ah."
He responded without looking up.
The knowledge he gained from the calligrapher enabled him to easily understand the text of the letters written hundreds of years ago.
The content described above is similar to what the village chief said.
But the old couple did not blame Tao Dailang in the letter. They just said that they were too greedy and ate too much poisonous sticky cake, which aroused their potential greed.
It was Tao Dailang's unintentional mistake.
If the Peach Blossom Demon returns safely one day, I hope the village chief and villagers will drive it away and not harm its life.
The two men were willing to die as a token of atonement.
"It's a complete tragedy."
Kashiwagi sighed, looked at another item taken out by the village chief, and asked, "What is this?"
"Relics found among them."
The village chief pointed at the rough little doll that was obviously Tao Dailang's.
no doubt.
Even after the old couple regained consciousness, they still loved and missed Tao Dailang who had gone away.
Unfortunately, due to the influence of Kashiwagi, Tao Dailang was trapped in Beishang Township...
Even without him, it would be difficult to catch up.
According to Kashiwagi, the reason why the old couple woke up was probably because Taodailang was defeated by Erguiyan.
Because many people at the festival venue who did not eat the peach fruit also regained consciousness inexplicably.
Without Baoban's help, it would be difficult for Tao Dailang to return to Taotao Village in a short time.
Is it a destined tragedy?
"Excuse me."
Kashiwagi stood up and went to the peach forest pointed out by the village chief with the confused dragon man.
Under a huge peach tree, they saw a simple grave and the escaped Tao Dailang.
This palm-sized fellow was staring at the grave mound stupidly.
Kashiwagi felt the vibration at his waist, thought about it, and released all his companions.
"Ouch!"
They surrounded Tao Dailang, their faces filled with worry.
Didn't get any response.
Tao Dailang's heart was filled with such deep sorrow that Kashiwagi could see at a glance that the death of the old couple was perhaps a greater blow to him than being beaten or doing hard labor.
For a Pokémon with a fragile heart, it would probably be difficult to survive.
After a long time.
A few tears fell slowly.
The silent crying reveals its inner sadness.
Kashiwagi did not go up to educate Taodailang and say "this is the price of making a mistake". He knew that even if he did not say anything, the other party had already fully understood it.
He placed the small Tao Dailang doll on its head and left with the dragon man.
The doll falls.
Tao Dailang's eyes fell and tears flowed like a fountain.
"Nah! Nah!"
It could no longer hold back its crying, like a child who had lost its home.
-
After a long time.
In Taotao Village.
Kashiwagi waited for three bewildered companions and Tao Dailang who turned into a peach.
After scanning with his mobile phone, Duobian said, "Its mental strength is very weak. I guess it has been hit so hard that it is about to fall into a long sleep."
Dragon Man: "Eternal sleep? Will it last long?"
"Not sure. Mythical Pokémon are usually a group of unconfirmed Pokémon, and their habits and abilities are unknown."
Multilateral mobile phones cannot give the correct answer.
The dragon man looked at the cypress and asked, "Do you want to leave it here? Bury it under that tree?"
"I don't think Taotao Village can accommodate them."
Kashiwagi shook his head.
It may not be a big deal to bury the sleeping Tao Dailang in the ground, but what about his precious companion?
They are inevitably active nearby.
Separation would probably be difficult.
Not to mention that their own strength depends on Tao Dailang, they themselves are unwilling to be separated from Tao Dailang.
"Take them back to Beishang Township. That's the only place that can accommodate them."
Kashiwagi thought of Boro and Ergui.
It might be a good decision to let them take charge of these goods.
Bring back?
Regardless of whether Arceus agrees or not, there is already a sleeping mythical beast at home.
Leave it in Beishang Township, maybe we can see it again in the future.
If they are really destined to be together.
Kashiwagi and Long Ren bid farewell to the chief of Taotao Village, and with the help of Kuailong, they traveled across mountains and rivers to return to Beishang Township.
at this time.
The new residence of Boro and Erguiluo has been almost completed.
In front of the shrine, Ribes and another boy were fighting against Rock Dog using Smocha.
Kashiwagi had told them that if they wanted to make the monsters stronger, fighting was inevitable.
Some time ago, they were often brought to the shrine and bullied by the Dragon Man's Pokémon.
Everyone was very happy to see the two return.
Boro accepted the task of looking after Tao Dailang without any hesitation. Erguilang successfully became the new boss of Baoban, often holding a thorny vine stick and looking at him covetously.
Baoban was sweating profusely.
Seeing that everything that needed to be done had been done, Kashiwagi secretly gave the homemade Jade Washing Elf Ball to Riboso and discussed the return with the dragon man.
"Are you leaving now?"
The dragon man thought he would go to Xi Cui to have a look.
Kashiwagi said: "Almost. Anyway, I can't stand it anymore."
These days, he missed his Pokémon more and more, and dreamed of them every night.
Sometimes I shout subconsciously when I wake up.
If he hadn't been worried about the number of times the Crystal Light Pool would have been crossed, he would have started traveling back and forth between the two timelines long ago.
"alright."
The dragon man nodded.
Upon hearing that they were about to leave, many people and Pokémon expressed great reluctance to let them go.
"Boni-oh..."
Eruption stared at him eagerly.
Apart from Boro, its favorite human is Baimu, who is very gentle to it.
The dragon man was always startled and was not taken seriously by the dragon.
"Meeting is fate, we will meet again if we are destined to do so."
Baimu smiled and patted its head, then said to Tao Dailang who was placed on the altar: "I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you again when I have time. You must learn to turn over a new leaf."
Tao Dailang did not respond.
The companions looked at each other, and for some reason they felt reluctant to leave.
"You stay here and if your boss wants to do something evil again, persuade him to stop someone like me from appearing again."
Kashiwagi patted their heads in a friendly manner.
The companions immediately behaved in a humble and submissive manner.
Rushing to the back mountain.
Ribes came over breathlessly, her eyes red as she said, "Can you take me with you? I can do anything. I know how to do anything."
"Sorry Ribes, the path we're taking is one only we can take."
Kashiwagi patted his shoulder and said, "Work hard, young man. With your talent, you can have a brilliant future even without us."
The dragon man smiled and said, "Just don't forget what we taught you!"
"..."
Ribosome bit her lip stubbornly.
When the two of them reached the mountain, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to them three times, "Master! I won't let you down!"
Among the woods.
The two heard the shouting coming from behind and smiled at each other.
On the way, we encountered Haunter again.
Kashiwagi gave it the last piece of honey in his pocket, which was specially prepared for it, and said, "Goodbye, friend."
"Huh?"
Haunter chewed the candy, looking quite confused.
Kashiwagi smiled and said, "Nothing."
mountain top.
A crystal pool overflowing with brilliance.
This was not the first time the dragon man came, but this was the first time he came so close. He squatted on the shore and said, "Just touch it--"
The words have not yet fallen.
The person has disappeared.
It can travel through time just like that, the efficiency is exaggeratedly high.
Kashiwagi turned his head and looked in the direction of Kitakami Township, took a deep breath and said, "See you in modern times!"
Familiar people and Pokémon.
Farewell!
He touched the water gently.
The next moment, everything in front of my eyes suddenly became dark and my consciousness became blurred.
I do not know how long it has been.
The darkness faded, and the scene in front of my eyes gradually became clearer, but my mind was still confused.
"Is this...a dormitory?"
Kashiwagi looked at the quiet dormitory, turned his head and glanced at the huge crystal cluster, wondering to himself, "Why am I outside the door?"
