Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Johnny~Johnny~" At this moment, Ditto came to Xiaozhi with a glass bottle in his hand and handed the glass bottle to Xiaozhi with his short legs.

"Is this a message in a bottle?" Xiaozhi took the message in a bottle from Ditto with a look of surprise.

"I didn't expect that there are still people playing with drifting bottles these days?" Xiaoxia asked puzzledly.

"Judging from the style of this message in a bottle, it must have been thrown into the sea many years ago and has never been found until today when it was picked up by Ditto." Xiaogang analyzed. After all, the glass bottle style is not a product of recent years.

"Xiaozhi, quickly open it and see what's written inside?" Xiaoxia said curiously.

"Let me see..." Xiaozhi opened the glass bottle and found a map in addition to a letter: "This ancient map looks a bit like the legendary treasure map, eh?"

"Treasure map? Let me see..." Xiaoxia took the map excitedly.

Xiaozhi was curious and read the contents of the letter carefully: "Hello, lucky sailor! I am the great pirate Liu Mang. Before I died, I buried my life's treasure on an uninhabited island, and put the buried treasure map in a drifting bottle and threw it into the sea, waiting for the destined person to take my life's treasure."

"It's actually the great pirate Liu Mang?!" Xiaogang said in surprise.

"Xiaogang, do you know him?" Xiaozhi asked curiously.

"Liu Mangke is a very powerful pirate. I heard that he once captured Lugia, and the Pokémon he possesses are either mythical Pokémon or legendary Pokémon."

"The existence of this pirate is a headache for the alliance. He once committed a shocking crime and robbed several groups. In order to completely eliminate this pirate, all alliances have joined together to send a large number of gym trainers, kings, and champions to hunt him down."

"Unfortunately, even the champion who was in the limelight at that time could not do anything to the opponent and was beaten back by Liu Mang. This feat was admired by many evil organizations and pirates, and the Great Pirate Era was opened in the same year."

"It was a chaotic era, and this situation lasted for 30 years until he met your brother Chihong during a robbery. Liu Mang wanted to rob Chihong, but he was beaten so badly that he couldn't even raise his head."

"Especially when Liu Mang found out that Red was only a trainer who debuted for a few years, he became disheartened and withdrew from the stage of the times and disappeared from then on. I didn't expect to find his treasure map many years later." Xiaogang exclaimed.

"I've also heard about this from my grandmother. I always thought it was just a plot from a novel, but I didn't expect it to be true." Xiaoxia interrupted.

"I didn't expect my brother to be so strong." Xiaozhi exclaimed. Although Xiaozhi had been practicing with Red for a while, he had never seen Red use his full strength. Therefore, Xiaozhi only knew that his brother was strong, but he didn't know how strong he was.

"Your brother was the leader of that era. All trainers were beaten to the point of not being able to raise their heads. He was also known as the strongest champion in history. Even the evil organization that was notorious at the time was forced to disband." Brock explained. Others may not understand Red's strength, but Brock knows it very well. After all, one of the people who was beaten to the point of not being able to raise his head by Red was his father.

"In that case, the treasure left behind by the great pirate Liu Mang must be very rich. Should we go looking for the treasure he left behind?" Xiaoxia was very interested in this.

"Of course we have to look for it. After all, I am also very interested in the treasure left behind by the great pirates." Xiaozhi agreed.

"But before we start looking for treasure, we have to rent a ship." Xiao Gang said. After all, it is impossible to look for treasure on the sea without a ship.

"Don't bother, just leave it to me."

"Besides, the fewer people who know that we are going to look for the pirate treasure, the better." Xiaozhi waved his hand and said, then turned to Ditto and said, "Ditto, you turn into Laplace and take us to find the treasure."

"Ah~" Ditto's body began to change in the light, and then a Laplace appeared in the sight of Satoshi and others.

"Ditto is so convenient. I want to catch one so I can transform into all kinds of water-attribute Pokémon." Misty was very excited when she thought that owning Ditto would be equivalent to owning all water-attribute Pokémon.

"Xiaoxia, stop smiling foolishly. It's time for us to go treasure hunting!" Xiaozhi, who was already sitting on the back of Laplace (Ditto), urged.

"Here I come!" After taking back the Pokémon, Xiaoxia hurriedly sat on Laplace's back.

"Laplace (Ditto), let's go!" Xiaozhi said excitedly.

"Pickup!"

"Ah~" After receiving Ash's instructions, Laplace (Ditto) headed towards the uninhabited island marked on the treasure map.

"Did you hear it? It's actually the treasure buried by the legendary pirate Liu Mang." Musashi said excitedly behind a rock on the beach.

"As long as we snatch the treasure and hand it over to Boss Banmu the moment the little brat finds it, we will definitely get a promotion and a raise," Meow Meow said excitedly.

"Ha~" Kojiro didn't care about it at all. Instead, he yawned out of boredom.

"Kojiro, why do you look so uninterested?" Musashi asked puzzledly.

"That's right, meow~ This is the treasure of the legendary pirate. As long as we get the treasure, we can definitely become rich, meow~" Meow Meow was also very confused as to why Kojiro seemed so uninterested in this.

"Musashi, Meow Meow, let me ask you~ What do you think is in the treasure?" asked Kojiro.

"Is there any need to ask? Of course it's all kinds of precious gems and gold coins." Musashi said as a matter of course.

"You seem to have forgotten one thing? I am now the future heir of the Sasaki Group. Any precious gems I want can be delivered to me in the shortest time. As for gold coins, I have as many as I want. So why should I be interested in a pirate's treasure?" Kojiro rolled his eyes.

"That seems to be the case." Musashi nodded.

"That's true, but Kojiro, don't you want to see the treasure of the legendary pirate? Maybe there are out-of-print bottle caps hidden in it, meow." Meow Meow suddenly said.

"Collector's edition bottle cap? What are we waiting for? Let's go find the treasure!" Kojiro immediately got excited when the bottle cap was mentioned. To Kojiro, no treasure could be more attractive to him than the collector's edition bottle cap.

Meow Meow looked at Kojiro's back and smiled faintly, as if to say: "He's just a rich second-generation. I can easily control him, meow."
