Chapter 1324 Sinnoh Festival
Water Vein City.
The venue for the Sinnoh Festival.
To allow more people to experience life in the Xicui era, the Alliance specially built a replica of Zhuqing Village here.
"Speaking of which, wasn't the predecessor of the Sinnoh League Team Galactic?" Dawn was greatly surprised by the Multi-Phone's words.
How did the Sinnoh League get involved with Team Galactic?
After parking the car, Zhu Lan laughed and said, "Polygon II should be referring to the 'Galaxy Team' that used to pioneer the land of Xicui, not the Galaxy Team you remember."
"Ah!"
Xiao Guang remembered that Bai Mu had mentioned it to her, but at the time, her attention was focused on her ancestor Xiao Zhao, and she subconsciously ignored it.
Zhu Lan took the initiative to popularize the deeds of the Xi Cui Yinhe Team and led the two into "Zhu Qing Village". As one of the world's leading archaeologists, her knowledge of history was extremely close to the truth, and she even revealed a lot of things that Bai Mu did not know.
What made him most uneasy was that he heard himself mentioned in Zhu Lan's words.
"The mysterious member of the investigation team?"
When Xiaoguang said this, he subconsciously looked at Bai Mu.
Cypress remained unfazed as she listened to Bamboo Orchid continue recounting the "mysterious existence"—
"That person appeared and disappeared suddenly. The records within Team Galactic only mention him briefly, but in the logbooks left by Team Pearl and Team Kong, he is referred to as the man who saved Xi Cui in a single day."
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "It's a pity that no specific name was left. All we know is that he claimed to be the messenger of the Great Lord of the Divine Realm."
"The Great One Sinnoh?" Dawn tilted her head in thought. "The former king of Sinnoh."
"No, it's Arceus."
Zhu Lan's interest in talking was completely piqued, and she talked on and on, only able to nod in greeting when others greeted her.
Meanwhile, inside the modern Zhuqing Village, many staff members have already changed into traditional costumes and are standing in front of the gate, greeting tourists with smiles.
You know what, it actually looks pretty convincing!
For Cypress, who has just returned from Xicui, the environment and residents are already seven or eight parts similar, so it is definitely impossible for them to be 100% similar.
More than a hundred years have passed, and there are slight differences in clothing, hairstyles, and even the specifications of buildings.
Zhu Lan smiled and asked, "Would you two be interested in changing into the clothes of the Xi Cui Era and blending into this environment?"
"Yeah!"
Xiao Guang was really interested, especially after seeing Xiao Zhao's photos.
Kashiwagi's expression was strange, but he didn't refuse.
The multi-faceted phone whispered, "You must be thinking it's ridiculous that you didn't wear it when you went back, but now you're back and have to wear it, right?"
"I know you're smart, so shut up."
Kashiwa made a gesture that said "don't talk."
Inside a cylindrical house, the three rented clothes that fit them well. The styles for men and women were basically the same, but they were slightly different from the Galaxy team uniforms that Kashiwagi knew.
At least in the past, clothing was limited by dyes, so there weren't as many colorful and complex patterns.
"Something doesn't feel right?"
Xiao Guang twirled in front of the full-length mirror, catching Zhu Lan's curious gaze. "Something's not right?"
She said, "It should be something simpler..."
"This is indeed a modified outfit. I didn't expect you, Hikari, to have such knowledge about Sinnoh's traditional clothing?"
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Would you be interested in studying history with me?"
This champion is not much different from the other champions; he always likes to extend an olive branch without anyone noticing.
Xiao Guang chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Oh, no, I just happened to... um, I saw it online once!"
She did not share the secret of the cypress with Zhu Lan.
Those who enjoy gossip should be prepared to enjoy it! Only then can they enjoy the gossip a second and a third time!
Zhu Lan, unsuspecting, tightened Xiao Guang's belt and patted her shoulder gently, saying, "Alright, let's go out! Don't keep Bai Mu waiting!"
The two walked out of the clothing rental shop but couldn't see Kashiwagi. It wasn't until a Team Galaxy Officer Jenny ran past them whistling that they noticed him grabbing the stall owner's arm in front of a stall.
Zhu Lan was taken aback, and quickly ran over with Xiao Guang.
"What's wrong, Kashiwagi?"
"Caught a conman I know." Kashiwagi calmly handed the groaning Magikarp to Officer Jenny.
It's the same old trick they've always used: exaggerating the capabilities of ordinary Magikarp and then charging exorbitant transfer fees for them.
This is equivalent to exploiting a loophole in the trainer's special rules.
Xiao Guang proudly showed off his clothes, twirling around a few times. "Ta-da! How about it? No problem, right? Definitely no problem!"
How did you manage to steal Serena's lines?
Bai Mu inwardly complained, but outwardly said, "Not bad, indeed very much in the style of a jade-washing person!"
He knew that Xiao Guang was referring to the previous photo. After putting on this replica team uniform, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Guang looked 99.9% alike.
After finishing up with Officer Jenny, Zhu Lan returned and asked with a smile, "Bai Mu, have you been tricked before?"
"Do you think I'm that unreliable? I was just standing up for a friend." Kashiwagi thought to himself that Kojiro should be considered a half-friend.
Huh?
He suddenly remembered something very important.
When I dealt with Team Rocket, did I have them find a place to wait for me?
Kashiwagi glanced at the multi-faceted phone, which didn't understand. When Kashiwagi mouthed the name of the Rockets, the phone suddenly realized what he meant and was then shocked.
How could I have forgotten about those three guys!
Perhaps it's because it's really not that important...
The multi-faceted phone quietly split off a clone to search for the Rockets trio, even though it thought that so many days had passed and the three guys might have already left.
—They didn't leave!
Using Rotom, the Rockets' cell phone, it successfully located the trio grazing in the woods near Twinleaf Town.
It's not that they're starving and have no money, but rather that they're eating because they have nothing else to do.
"Hey!"
Its sudden appearance startled the three of them.
Meow and Kojiro were the first to react, "It's Porygon II, Meow!"
"So you finally have time to come see us? I almost thought we'd been completely forgotten..."
Kojiro said with great relief.
I've actually forgotten about it.
Multi-Phone muttered to himself, then said to them, "Kashiwagi sent me here to tell you that next time he and Satoshi are both around, don't show yourselves."
"...That's all?"
The Rockets trio, thinking Kashiwagi had given them some instructions, immediately became flustered upon hearing this.
They waited for five whole days! And all they got was this one sentence!
Before the trio could feel any negative emotions, the multi-faceted phone added, "Also, come back to Alola when you have time. The bears really miss you."
“When we went back last time, Mimikyu and Goody-Bad asked us about it.”
Upon hearing this, Kojiro was stunned and tears streamed down his face.
Of the three, he loved his Pokémon the most. When he ran away from home, he even rejected Growlithe, who had grown up with him since childhood, just so that it wouldn't suffer with him.
"Waaaaah! You mean, bad star~!"
He covered his eyes with his arm and burst into tears.
Jessie, with her prickly personality, is also having a hard time. Although she doesn't express her love as obviously as James, she loves her Pokémon just as deeply.
Meow Meow shouted, "Let's go now!"
"Whoosh!"
As expected, Weng loudly agreed.
The Rockets trio immediately launched their hot air balloon and set off, no longer caring about Kashiwagi making them wait for so long.
Watching their departing figures, Duobian Phone sighed, "As expected of Kashiwagi, he managed to coax them into submission with just a few words!"
We still need to learn! We still need to practice!
-
The Sinnoh Festival.
Kashiwagi meets Ash and his travel companions again.
This is not a particularly unusual situation; it would be strange if he didn't participate in such a large event.
Ash was overjoyed to see the group again after several days and showed off his Gengar, saying, "This guy just drank Max Soup! He can transform into Gigantamax Gengar now!"
"哓GA!"
Ash's purple-haired chubby son stood tall and proud.
Seeing this, the chubby gray boy from the Kashiwagi family also emerged from the shadows, standing tall and proud alongside the other man.
—The gray fat guy is obviously taller and wider, which allows the ghost to develop a second growth. It can only be said that his family's food is really good.
The purple fat guy was not convinced and took a step forward to try to bump the gray fat guy with his belly. The gray fat guy did not back down and bumped back. The two Gengars kept squawking and making a lot of noise.
Piplup and Pikachu quickly intervened to separate the two.
Kashiwagi chatted with Satoshi and the others.
Because he thwarted Team Galactic's plot ahead of time, no major events occurred during the Sinnoh Festival, and Arceus lost the opportunity to make another appearance on his journey.
It seems it was rather unwilling?
Otherwise, they wouldn't have entrusted such an important task as recycling the stone slabs to Kashiwa.
He was able to relax and enjoy himself immensely after spending time with familiar faces for the first time in a long time.
During the routine tour of the museum, which features information about special Pokémon from the Greenery period, Cynthia said, "During the development of Sinnoh, they were affected by something and gradually disappeared, but they have reappeared in recent years."
Has it reappeared?
Xiao Zhi and the others asked excitedly.
The image features Pokémon such as Growlithe, Savannah Highmane, Deerclops, and Savannah Growlithe, all rendered with lifelike 3D effects.
Cynthia laughed and said, "That's right. We thought these Pokémon were extinct, but we recently discovered that they were actually hiding in some corners of Sinnoh."
"After extensive breeding efforts, the Pokémon professors of the Sinnoh League plan to release these Pokémon back into the wild in the future, allowing them to set foot in new Sinnoh lands!"
Upon hearing this, Kashiwagi's heart stirred. He didn't remember this part in the anime. Was it because he had changed the past?
Is the Sinnoh Temple still intact?
He sent multiple phones to investigate, but unfortunately, the Sinnoh Temple was gone, with only a few spear pillars remaining.
The statues of the ten kings and the roof of the temple all vanished into thin air.
why?
Who bombed it?
unknown.
The Pokémon egg in my arms is still and quiet; who knows when it will hatch?
They played and frolicked until evening.
The special fireworks display, a staple of the celebration, will proceed as scheduled.
Smelling the gunpowder-like odor in the air, Kashiwagi pondered how to find the next stone slab.
Aside from the clear stone slab, there are only two remaining stone slabs—the steel stone slab and the ugly stone slab.
In the game, the former is on Heatran, and the latter is on Cresselia, the goddess of dreams...
They're all very hard to find!
Kashiwagi decided to ask the person who knew the most about the Sinnoh region.
"Miss Zhulan."
Under the night sky ablaze with fireworks, he turned to Zhu Lan and said, "Can I ask you a few questions?"
"...You ask."
Zhu Lan's attention shifted from the fireworks to his profile. The shimmering light covered his handsome face, and even she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Kashiwagi asked, "Do you know where we can find Heatran and Cresselia?"
“Shedron... Cresselia…”
Cynthia knows about these two legendary Pokémon. "You want to catch them?"
"Do not."
Kashiwagi frankly stated, "What I want to obtain from them is something quite important—the stone slab."
"slate?"
Zhu Lan pursed her lips.
After the fireworks display ended, the two sat down in a quiet place to discuss the stone slab.
Zhu Lan indeed asked him first why he was looking for the stone slab.
Kashiwagi then asked her if she remembered Arceus, who had appeared in the interdimensional rift, and told her that Arceus had given her a mission back then.
Zhu Lan understood. "Then how did you determine that the stone slabs were among them?"
"I can't be sure, but since these Pokémon possess such great power, perhaps they have the help of the stone tablets?"
Kashiwagi gave a rather unconvincing reason.
Zhu Lan believed her and said, "I don't really know where Sidran and Cresselia are, but I might be able to take you back to God and Town to see the stone tablet. There are many records about mythology there."
Cypress wood is perfectly acceptable.
The next day.
Xiao Guang, Xiao Zhi, and the others parted reluctantly.
Upon learning that Kashiwagi was going to Shinwa Town with Takeran, Hikari wanted to go with them, but she also had to set off.
"I have to participate in the Mikkelsen Cup."
"Good luck! May you win this important ribbon!"
Cypress gave her her blessing.
Dawn is now a top-tier Coordinator, but after the Wallace Cup was revamped with the Grand Festival, it is no longer just for ordinary Coordinators; instead, it has been changed to two arenas.
One is ordinary, the other is top-notch.
Before parting, Xiao Guang said, "You should come and join us from time to time! Everyone misses you!"
The top circle of the Grand Contest is no smaller than the trainer circle. The "legend" left by Kashiwagi is still passed down by word of mouth. Many new coordinators constantly study his performance videos, just to become the next Kashiwagi.
Unfortunately, people like him are extremely rare.
"I will if I have time."
As Bai Mu casually remarked, he got into Zhu Lan's car and headed towards Shenhe Town.
Sinnoh has a very advanced transportation system. The two set off in the morning and arrived at their destination at around 1 p.m.
Once a secluded retreat, now Shenhe Town.
Kashiwagi couldn't help but ask, "Miss Takeran, do you know Wusi?"
"Have you met Ms. Wu Si?"
Zhu Lan looked surprised. "Where did you meet her? Did this happen recently?"
Kashiwagi: "Uh...it's been a long time."
It's been about a hundred years.
"I see." Zhu Lan composed herself and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I got a little excited. Ms. Wu Si was my history teacher, but she disappeared a long time ago."
"How long ago was 'a long time ago'?"
"I think it was when I was about eleven or twelve years old."
"That's quite early indeed."
"..."
