Elf: Sailing since being taken in by New Leaf Cat

Chapter 174 Clues
Looking at the coyote dogs around him who were blocking him from leaving, Bean Cricket looked very calm. It seemed that his personality had changed somewhat since leaving the Padia Pit.

"bean……"

Are you sure you're not leaving yet?

It looked at these coyote dogs and gave the final advice. Even if its personality changed, it was still traveling with the goal of being a hero, so it would never take the initiative until the end.

But listening to its cry, those coyote dogs seemed like they couldn't bear it anymore and bit them directly. Seeing this, it didn't even need to switch forms, almost in an instant!

I saw a flash of golden light, and several coyote dogs fell to the ground, having lost their ability to fight. Such strength shocked Shali, who was secretly taking pictures not far away.

"This bean cricket is so strong...but I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

She stared blankly, and then quickly looked at the camera, trying to find the moment when the other party took action, but unfortunately, her hand speed was still too slow, and the process of Bean Cricket killing the coyote dog was not captured.

"Sigh... It's uncomfortable, but it looks like this bean cricket is a wild Pokémon that came in from the outside, so those coyote dogs drove it away, just like some people in the town..."

With that said, she walked forward and saw Bean Cricket preparing to leave, then she smiled and said hello: "Hello~ Can you let me take a photo?"

"bean?"

Bean Cricket showed a puzzled expression, but ignored it and continued to leave. It also wanted to find the Dolphin Man in Beishang Township. This was also its purpose of coming here all the way from the Padia area.

So it didn't want to waste time with these boring people, so it turned into a yellow light and left here quickly. This made Shali very helpless and had to give up and continue her own business.

Because she heard about Granny Momozawa from Qiu Qing, she planned to start there and secretly take photos of the other party, maybe she could collect some information.

So she went directly to the Moozawa store, but strangely the store was not open today. She originally wanted to go in and do some research on the pretext of buying something, but it seemed that she had no chance.

"Why are you so unlucky today... Could it be that after seeing Yueyue Xiong yesterday, all your luck was consumed? This can't be done!"

She was still very persistent and would never give up as long as she decided on one thing, so she asked the neighbors around to know where Grandma Mozawa had gone. She wanted to buy something but couldn't find anyone.

This is a good excuse...

Someone soon told her that Mother-in-law Mozawa should have gone to Baoban Plaza, and it would probably take a while before she came back, so she had to wait for a while, or simply go there to find her.

"Baoban Plaza..."

Shali looked towards the west, remembering that the bean cricket seemed to have walked from that way just now. There might be a chance to see him, but he couldn't miss such a good photo opportunity.

So she set out immediately. She knew the location of Baoban Square very well. When she came to Beishang Township more than a month ago, she went there to take pictures.

After all, that square is also a very famous one in Beishang Township. It is related to local legends. It is said that the three Pokémon that once saved Beishang Township are buried there. The villagers affectionately call them Pokémon and named the place Pokémon Plaza. .

And in the Mask Festival, a traditional cultural event in Beishang Township, the masks of treasure companions are also the most popular. However, the Mask Festival is only held every summer, and it is already winter. Shali also regrets not coming earlier. Catch up on the action.

We climbed up the hill all the way to the Pokémon Plaza. Although it was only early in the morning, there were already some older residents here walking with Pokémon. This is something they do every day. It is not so much a square as it is a park. It should be more relevant.

Mother-in-law Mozawa was also among them. She was taking a walk with Vulpix and several old people of similar age, chatting and discussing things in her youth.

"No matter how you look at it, he's just a normal old man, right? Is there really a problem?"

Sha Li sat on the bench and quietly observed for a while, but did not notice anything unusual. However, Qiu Qing would say this, which naturally made sense.

Who knows whether Mother-in-law Momosawa will be like those in those horror movies, with a kind-hearted look on her face and no problem at all, but when she comes home, she will look like a different scary old woman?

Seeing that they were about to leave her sight, Sha Li quietly took a few photos of Mother-in-law Mozawa with her camera. Then she looked at the photos in the camera and began to observe, hoping to find something weird.

When she opened the first picture, the picture happened to capture Mother-in-law Mozawa tilting her head, squinting her eyes, smiling, gesturing and talking to a few people around her. It was absolutely normal.

Then she flipped through the remaining photos, and the last one was taken just when the other person turned around, and only the back of his head was photographed.

"There's no problem at all... It's better to wait until the other party returns to the store and then take a look. But they should also be... huh?"

Suddenly hearing something moving, Shali subconsciously looked up and saw that the golden bean cricket she had seen before happened to be in front of the ancestral hall belonging to the three treasure companions not far away.

"Haha! Found it!"

She was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the other party came here to visit the treasure companion, so she put down the camera. She didn't know that in the last photo, only the back of Mother Mozawa's head was photographed. At this moment, she slowly turned and turned her head to look. He turned towards the camera and showed a weird smile...

In front of the ancestral hall, Bean Cricket looked at the three Pokémon. It is said that they were once heroes who gave up their lives to save Beishang Township. For Pokémon who sacrificed their lives like this, it will be full of respect for them.

However, in Beishang Township, there seems to be no news related to Dolphin Man. The only ones who can be related to the hero are these treasure companions.

"bean……"

Bean Cricket looked calm. After being silent for a while, he stood up and planned to leave. He continued to look around Beishang Township to see the situation, including the ghost mountain. He heard that there was a case there a few years ago. This is why he was there. I investigated on the way here.

After all, it has lived in Niangguang City for a period of time, and often wanders around cyberspace. It is easy to collect some information, but that's all.

But just when it was about to leave, the sound of Shali's footsteps suddenly came, accompanied by the other person's voice: "Wait a minute, just let me take a picture!"

"..."

Bean Cricket shook his head, why are these humans so annoying...

It really didn't bother to pay attention to it, and was about to leave, but then Shali suddenly shouted: "I remembered, yes... I should have met you once in Niangguang City, and even took photos of you. …”

As she said that, she quickly looked through the photo album on her phone. Most of the photos she took that she was satisfied with were uploaded to her phone, and then she found them. They were photos taken in a park in Niangguang City.

Among these photos, there was one of Speaker Cricket Man teaching other Pokémon to sing, but right next to the pavilion, there was a different-colored Bean Cricket watching quietly. Because he thought it was interesting at the time, he still Taken alone. But after she pulled out the photo, she was stunned. Although Pokémon of different colors were rare, there were many of them. Padiya and Kitakamigo were so far apart, how could they be the same one!

"Um...it seems I made a mistake..."

Shali originally wanted to use these photos to find a topic and then build a relationship to get closer to the other person, but it seemed that the plan failed.

Just after hearing the other party say that a photo of him was taken in Niangguang City, a trace of surprise finally flashed across Bean Cricket's face. Is it such a coincidence? How can someone recognize you even after running so far? Outrageous...

But it is surprising, as it is still very wary of humans. Who knows if the other person's purpose is to get close to him and then want to subdue him? After all, a Pokémon of different colors is still very rare.

So it turned around and jumped away, which made Shali very regretful. She had no choice but to go back to the town. Grandma Mozawa should have returned to the store now, so she could go over there and investigate...

After a while, she returned to Mozawa's store. Sure enough, the store was now open, and Grandma Mozawa, who had returned from a walk, was sitting on the small bench at the door, arranging the freshly picked lettuce.

Seeing this, Sha Li took the initiative to step forward and asked with a smile: "Mother-in-law, do you want to help?"

"No, no, no, old lady, I'm still in good health now, so how can I trouble you kids..."

Mother-in-law Momozawa responded with a smile, her expression remained unchanged and her smile was very normal. Shali did not notice any problem, and then said: "Okay, I want to buy some noodles and seasonings and go back." There’s luncheon meat and…”

"Eating these every day is not good for your health. I see you have come here every now and then to buy them many times. You need to eat more fruits and vegetables. I picked a lot of lettuce today. You can take some back. It's free."

"Haha...thank you then."

Shali smiled. This feeling of being blamed by her elders made her feel quite friendly. After all, she hadn't been home for a long time, and she could only hear her parents' concern when talking on the phone.

Soon, she bought the camping ingredients inside. When she came out to check out, she suddenly remembered her mission, but it was too late. Mother-in-law Mozawa was right opposite her. How to investigate?

But just as these thoughts came to her mind, Grandma Mozawa suddenly asked: "I heard you said before that it seemed that there was some mysterious Pokémon photographed over there in the permanent forest, right? Haven't you photographed it yet?"

"Forehead……"

"It seems like it doesn't exist anymore. Maybe that mysterious Pokémon doesn't exist at all, and even the people who teach us in Beishang Township don't know about it."

"is it?"

"After all, the permanent forest is too far away from Emerald Town. Generally, few people go there. Even the permanent forest is a place where Beishang Township has been developing tourism until now, and it has not been planned as a tourist attraction. It is just too dangerous."

As she spoke, Granny Momozawa seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with a smile: "Instead of taking pictures of that kind of thing, it would be better to take pictures of our heroes in Beishang Township. They may have defeated evil spirits and saved the heroes of Beishou Township, but the real It existed!”

"If I have a chance, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Sha Li instantly grasped the key point of the other party's words, evil ghost? What evil spirit? Could it be the evil ghost in the Beishang Township legend that was driven away by the three treasure companions with their lives?
So she quickly asked out of curiosity: "Mother-in-law, can you tell me about the evil ghost?"

"Of course, after all, for us people from Beishang Township, this is engraved in our bones."

As she said that, Granny Momozawa had packed up the things Shali had purchased and put them aside. Then she said, "That evil ghost suddenly came to Beishang Township from a distant place hundreds of years ago."

"It coveted the power of the crystal light pool on the top of Ghost Mountain, so it oppressed our ancestors. However, in order to protect Beishang Township, our ancestors bravely killed the enemy, but they were still no match for the evil ghost. Many residents were even killed by the evil ghost."

"But just when life and death in Beishang Township were at stake, three treasure companions appeared here. They used their lives to defeat the evil ghosts, and then drove them into the ghost mountain so that the other party could never come out again, because once the evil ghosts escaped from the ghost mountain, they would inevitably I will take revenge on everyone..."

"But we all believe that as long as the evil ghost comes out of the ghost mountain, our treasure companions will continue to protect us and defeat the evil ghost!"

Mother-in-law Momozawa became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, with pride on her face. This made Shali almost completely believe the story... It should be said that she believed in the existence of this evil ghost. If we say that these missing cases were all caused by the evil ghost , does it also mean that the other party may be about to escape from the ghost mountain?

After all, it seems that only this evil ghost can cope with all the abnormalities that have occurred... I'm afraid she has really found a clue!

"Thank you, Grandma Mozawa!"

After saying thanks, Shali picked up the plastic bag and left here impatiently. She wanted to tell Qiu Qing the news. She must prevent the evil ghost from leaving Ghost Mountain and continue to cause harm to Beishang Township.

At the same time, she was also very interested in this legend and wanted to record it through photos, as well as the legendary evil ghost...

At the same time, on the spaceship, Qiu Qing, who had read all the information, was sorting out possible clues with Tiremiao, trying not to miss any detail.

Dream Demon floated aside with a bored look on his face. When Maomao was doing things seriously, he couldn't say anything at all. He felt like he was superfluous... I didn't know if he could find something to do.

So it began to wander around the spaceship. After hatching from the Pokémon egg for a few days, it actually didn't understand the internal conditions of the spaceship at all, because it was stuck to the cat all day long.

"Dream!"

Then explore it!

Dream Demon smiled and began to stroll around the spaceship. As a ghost-type Pokémon, walking through walls is almost an innate skill for it.

Next to the conference room is the infirmary. It goes directly through the wall. However, there is no doctor on the spacecraft, so the infirmary rarely sees crew members, not to mention that the crew members are almost gone now.

So it continued to walk through the wall, intending to go to the cabin warehouse below to have a look. It seemed that it had heard the cat say that there were many good things hidden there.

But just as it was about to penetrate the floor, I seemed to catch a glimpse of something from the corner of my eye. It was under the table, shining like a crystal.

"Dream?"
