Pokémon: Chosen Ranger

"That kid Wuli has great talent."

After Xia Ye said goodbye to Wuli, Xia Ye stood in front of the public hall and whispered, then he looked at the Banglei King Kong Ape who was waving goodbye and said:

"Hang Lei King Kong, let's go, let's take you to experience the mountain trails you haven't walked during the day."

"Hang Lei?"

"Sorry, sorry, it's already night. You should eat first. Then let's eat some sticky cakes on the way." Xia Ye stuffed the sticky cakes in his backpack into the hands of the Banglai King Kong Ape.

"Wuli's grandma gave us a lot, enough for us to eat for a long time."

"Hanglei." Banglei King Kong Ape vaguely noticed why Wuli hated sticky cakes. It was because Wuli's grandma only knew how to make sticky cakes.

Night fell, and the bright moonlight shone on the earth. Xia Ye and the Banglei King Kong Ape spent about half of the day returning to the north center.

Xia Ye returned to Beishang Center for only one reason: to look for ghosts.

According to the story on the introductory card, the ghost's only remaining mask is the green mask, which is a mask that can revive dead plants.

The power contained in it is undoubtedly related to the grass-type Pokémon, so could the breath of the grass-type Pokémon he felt near the Terror Cave be a ghost?

If the villagers hate ghosts, will the ghosts also hate the villagers?

So when he was with Wuli during the day, the ghost couldn't avoid him. Although Wuli himself liked the ghost very much, the ghost didn't know his thoughts, and it wasn't strange to treat him the same way he treated other villagers.

"I'm sorry, Wuli. Then, let's see if we can see the ghost's true face."

After Xia Ye finished speaking, he climbed the stone steps to the north center. With the help of the moonlight, he found a child wearing a mask standing in front of the mask stall, swaying slightly.

"Child, is it still this time?"

As if hearing Xia Ye talking to himself, the child turned around in panic. Its mask was as green as grass, shining brightly in the night.

"Could it be a shining mask?"

The child also used the moonlight to clearly see Xia Ye's appearance. This was a face that did not belong to Beishangxiang, and he exuded warm kindness. This was a feeling he had not felt for a long time.

"Boni~?"

"Sure enough, it's not a human, but a Pokémon." Xia Ye said softly. The Pokémon in front of him should be the legendary ghost. Is it scary? No, it's pitiful. Staring at the mask stall alone at night is too pitiful.

The people of Kitakami Township are afraid of ghosts. Now it seems that the ghosts are afraid of the people of Kitakami Township. Otherwise, why would it come to the mask-masking ceremony at such a time?

Mask Festival. Ghosts wearing masks are like human children. People in Kitakamigo are afraid of ghosts. People will wear masks during the Mask Festival. It turns out that only during this time can ghosts approach people. Its mask is to participate in the festival. Just wore it.

Xia Ye recalled the place where the ghost lived. It was dark and narrow and not worthy of being called home. Did it spend the rest of the year alone there?

The ghost doesn't care about people's rejection at all. It is actually a Pokémon that is afraid of loneliness. It is a poor child that can only enjoy happiness for a short period of time in a year.

Is Baoban really as heroic as the legend says? Should we really believe the legends recorded by Kitakamigo people who have no idea of ​​the truth?

"Huh!" Xia Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, then looked at his partner and said: "Hang Lei King Kong, let's play some music, let's play some music that can recall beautiful memories."

"Boom!"

The Banglei King Kong Ape took off the wooden stake drum from behind and placed it on the ground. It can feel Xia Ye's emotions. In this case, let's play music, forget the worries, only be happy!

"Dong~~~"

"Bo?!"

Hearing the sudden sound of drums, the ghost jumped back in fright. His little feet failed to stand firm, and the mask he was wearing fell to the ground with a splat.

The Banglei King Kong Ape did not stop playing music, and the cheerful and lively drum beats spread into the ghost's heart, and the precious memories buried in the heart gush out like spring water.

Through the moonlight, Xia Ye saw clearly the true face of the evil ghost hidden under the mask. It had an orange face that looked like a ponkan, with five-pointed star-shaped pupils shining in its yellow eyes, and a pair of small tiger teeth added to its beauty. Playful.

horrible? No, it's so cute that it's hard to associate it with the word ghost.

"Boh boh ni bo ni oh.!"

Along with the memories came tears, and the ghost's cries changed from small sobs to howling to the sky. Why did this father-like man encounter such a thing!

It doesn't matter if the home is dark and narrow, as long as he is with his kind companion, it will be the happiest little home.

It doesn’t matter if we are ostracized and scared by people. As long as we have the mask we are wearing, there is no difference between us and them.

Why, why, why, my precious treasure should be taken away. Did I do something wrong? !

"Boom." Hearing the ghost's cry, the Banglei King Kong also stopped playing and showed an apologetic expression. Why was he crying? Was it playing the wrong tune?

"It's not your fault, Thunder King Kong." Xia Ye patted its arm and comforted, "I believe in your strength, so there is only one answer."

"Its most beautiful memories are also the source of its sadness. This sadness is the sadness of losing a loved one."

Xia Ye slowly walked towards the ghost. He squatted down and picked up the mask that fell on the ground, gently patted the dust on it, then held it with both hands and said to the ghost:

"This is something you cherish very much, so you should keep it well."

"Bo"

The ghost's eyes blurred by tears looked at the person in front of him. Unlike the people here, he would not reject me or be afraid of me.

Taking the mask from Xia Ye's hand, Gui silently put it on his face, and then let out a cry of spirit:

"Bonnie!"

"Well, my name is Xia Ye, and he is my partner, called the Thunder King Kong." Xia Ye said in a gentle tone, his expression as gentle as that man.

"Boom!"

The Banglui King Kong gorilla said hello to the ghost. Its tall figure was as strong as that man's.

"Well, your name." Now Xia Ye didn't want to call the Pokémon in front of him ghost. This name was like a contemptuous name for an ignorant person.

"Bonnie!"

After hearing Xia Ye's words, the ghost trotted to an open space, then jumped and waved to greet Xia Ye and the Banglai King Kong.

Xia Ye nodded and walked towards its position, only to see it pick up a small branch and write down the only word the man taught it, its name, on the soil.

By the moonlight, Xia Ye read out the words on the ground word for word:

"E. Gui. Hey, is this your name?" Xia Ye looked at it and said with a smile.

"Bonnie!"

"Well, it seems so. Please give me some advice, Eguifen."

"Boom!"

Facing their greetings, Ergui thought for a moment, took off his mask and put it away carefully. Faced with Xia Ye and the Thunder King Kong Ape, there was no need for a mask!

"Bo Ni!" Egui Peng showed a smile as warm as the sun.

Well, yes, there are indeed people like you in this world. My father, in this night sky, are you turning into a star and watching all this?
