Chapter 939 Black Chestnuts of Beishang Township
A deserted island near Niangguang City.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Ash, with Pikachu, stood on the deck of the Asagi, arms crossed, gazing into the distance.
From the dense forest not far away, a rumbling sound continued to echo. It was Pipa fleeing for his life.
"No... how could we possibly win, you bastard!!" The burly man with flowing long hair, now a mess, was riding his magnificent steed at breakneck speed.
Mastiff Godfather, Chili Pepper, Salt Stone Giant... these three main Pipa fighters have only grown from being knocked down in one move to being able to hold out for a few minutes before collapsing after all these days.
This bear-themed outfit is almost supermodel-worthy!!
On the other side, Nemo, whose sleeve was half gone, gritted her teeth and cheerfully emerged from the woods.
She was the only woman to win two one-on-one matches. Although it was a six-on-two battle, she managed to wear down Ash's Kornet and Meowth through a gauntlet-style fight until they were almost out of stamina.
However, being a champion-level player, she still managed to win two matches. She was also the only student to complete Ash's mission.
"Good job. Go back, take a shower, eat something, and get some rest." Ash nodded, recalled the Pokémon that had been training with the two, and continued to look into the distance.
The horizon of the deserted island has been flattened by a meter. The three little ones, who were chased and tortured by Ash's six heroes every day, can now cooperate with each other and take turns retreating.
Although they still failed to capture even one, the strength of all three had visibly improved.
Finally, the moment Rayquaza's finishing touch landed, the three little ones leaped out of the forest exit and arrived in front of Ash.
Roy's Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile has a deep, bone-revealing scar on its right side, giving it a fierce and imposing presence.
Riko's Magic Masked Cat and Blazing Roaring Tiger were also battered and bruised, but their eyes shone with an alarming brightness.
The duck feathers were all puffed up in the frenzied dance, but the kicking and knife skills were frighteningly sharp!
The three little ones have definitely become stronger!
Looking at the forest behind them, now reduced to ruins, Riko and the other two helped each other up, revealing smiles of relief at having survived a disaster.
"Finally, I survived." Rico patted her chest.
"I think I can still turn the tables." Roy scratched his head, still as reckless as ever.
"Starting from the fourth day, the teachers completely stopped caring, and that was the most dangerous time. But we were smart enough to analyze things calmly."
Clap clap clap~ Ash clapped and nodded: "Congratulations, your special training is over. Next, your tasks are~ eat, take a bath, and sleep!"
"Aww!! That's great!!" The three little ones couldn't help but cheer. Being wild in the forest had exhausted them.
"Go back and take a shower, the curry is ready. After you shower, let Molly check you all up, eat well and get a good night's sleep." Madeke, like an old father, led the three little ones to the cabin.
Xiao Zhi and Fried nodded: "Let's go, north to the countryside."
The valiant Asagi slowly rose into the air, heading towards Kitakami Township in eastern Parthia...
……
After docking at the port and getting a good night's rest, the three little ones got up the next day and saw that Fried had bought train tickets to come back.
"Everyone, we have confirmed with the staff of Beishang Township. Teacher Bai Leiya is currently camping at Jingguangchi."
The Blueberry Academy exchange group and summer camp students are currently staying at the community center in Greentown.
"We can't take a boat here anymore; we'll have to take a bus to town," Fried explained.
"Alright, everyone, let's go." Xiao Zhi nodded in agreement. This time, everyone except the old man who stayed home was going.
Following the country road lined with farmland on both sides, Ash and his friends stumbled and swayed until they arrived at the brightly lit Green Town.
"Wow, it looks so lively here," Rico exclaimed.
"It must be some kind of memorial service or something," Dian Dian chimed in.
Soon, the group got off the bus in the town center and arrived at the entrance of the community center, which is a public place in the town to entertain visitors and provide a place for people to chat and dance when they have nothing to do.
"Excuse me, is anyone here?" Fried asked as he stepped forward.
"Ahem~ Hello everyone, I'm the administrator, what brings you here?" An elderly gentleman with a receding hairline walked out with his hands hanging down.
"Hello, we're here to see Professor Bai Leiya," Fried said, getting straight to the point.
"Oh, Ms. Bai Leiya, she went to the Crystal Pool and hasn't returned yet," the administrator explained with a smile.
"Then let's go find her ourselves," Oreo said anxiously.
"No~" The administrator shook his head: "To go to the Crystal Pool, you must get the administrator's permission."
"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.
“We may be outsiders, but we’re not bad people…” Fried tried to explain, but the old man waved his hand and said, “Rules are rules.”
"Then, may I ask how we can get permission?" Ash stepped forward, and a small head wearing a mask popped out from behind him.
"Oh my, could this be... an Evil Spirit?" The administrator stared wide-eyed in surprise.
"That's right, old man, this child is my Pokémon, what's wrong?" Ash asked, puzzled.
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful!" The old man nodded with tears in his eyes. "After all these years, I never thought I would encounter Egui Peng again. She has finally returned here."
"It seems like there's a story behind it." Fried and the others exchanged glances.
"Young people, I would like to ask you for a favor. If you can, I will grant you the same permission to use the Crystal Pool," the elderly administrator earnestly pleaded.
"Tell me about it?" Xiao Zhi responded instinctively.
"Tonight is the village's harvest festival. At the same time, it is also a time for us to reflect on the past."
Once, deceived by Baoban and Taodailang, we regarded Eguipeng as an evil spirit and drove it away.
Nowadays, every harvest, we set up a large drum in the town, and people wearing masks imitate the posture of Egui Peng to beat the drum, which is meant to scare away evil spirits and is also a ritual to commemorate Egui Peng.
If possible, I hope you can help out with whatever you can during the festival.
And I hope that, amidst the radiance of the four masks, the drumbeat of forgiveness can truly resound. Please! The old man bowed deeply.
"Ergui Pong, what do you think?" Xiao Zhi patted the little guy and asked gently.
This is Evil Pine's own business, and Ash doesn't want to order her to do anything.
"Bang bang..." Ergui Peng looked confused for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
Forgive the past, for it is already over. Now, all I want to do is accompany Ash as he embraces the new future.
"That's wonderful!!" The old man saw E Guipeng nod and immediately started dancing with excitement.
“We can help too,” Fried nodded.
Oreo is in charge of repairing the various machines at the celebration, and Molly seems to have set up a medical support point.
Roy and Madeke are going to sell candied hawthorns...
“However, I still have a question.” Xiao Zhi pointed at Ergui Peng: “My child only has three masks. The fourth blue mask seems to be in the hands of the person who sent out the invitation to Blueberry Academy this time.”
"What?!" The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned and ran into the room. Sure enough, a moment later, a roar came out: "Where did it go? My elder brother's family heirloom mask, where did it go?!"
"Grandpa, don't call out." A little girl came out from next door: "Brother Wuli took that mask."
"Grandpa, don't be angry. I'm just returning it to its rightful owner. This thing was originally passed down in my family." A clear voice rang out.
Ash and his friends suddenly turned around and saw a lazy-looking boy with purple hair tied back, wearing a loose school uniform, leading five students with the Blueberry School logo standing outside the door.
"Welcome, everyone from Grape Academy, to my hometown, Kitakami Township." The boy shrugged and then looked at Ash.
"You are Ash Ketchum, whom Miss Alice often talks about, the former world champion, right?"
Xiao Zhi smiled with interest: "Well, what do you want, classmate?"
