Pokemon: Release? Nonexistent

Chapter 1234 Shocked Morty

(First update!! Please collect and send flowers!!)

"Ah! It turns out that this person is the Gym Trainer of the Ecruteak Gym!"

At first, I thought I had gone to the wrong place, but I didn’t expect to actually meet the Gym Trainer from the Ecruteak Gym here.

Seeing how Gastly and Haunter listen to his words, you can tell at a glance that they are difficult characters to deal with.

"I'm sorry, after this place was abandoned, it never saw the sun all day long. It was the favorite environment of Ghost-type Pokémon, so it became the residence of Gastly and them unknowingly.

"They thought you were intruders, so they attacked you. I'm so sorry!" Morty looked at the three Ashes and said apologetically.

"Ah! So, we scared Gastly and them!"

Hearing this, Misty said a little guiltily, and they ran in, but scared the Pokémon inside.

"No, because there is no prohibition on entry here, that's why something like this happened suddenly."

Morty shook his head slightly after hearing this. In fact, people should have been banned from entering such a deserted place long ago.

But because this tower has extraordinary significance to Ecruteak City, it did not do that. The locals in Ecruteak City knew the situation and Normal would not come here.

"You don't seem to be from Ecruteak City, are you tourists?" Morty gestured with his eyes. After Gengar understood, he gestured to Gastly to follow Haunter.

Soon, Gastly and Haunter disappeared into the shadows.

"Yeah! My name is Ash, and I'm here to challenge the gym."

"My name is Misty!"

"My name is Xiaogang!" The three of them also introduced themselves, and Ash also explained his purpose.

"I see, but I'm sorry, this is not a gym, but an abandoned tower of warning."

Morty nodded slightly after hearing this. As a gym trainer, he naturally had to accept the challenge from the challenger, but this place is not a gym now, so there is no way to fight here.

"Tower of Warning"?"

"Well! When you came here, you should have seen a building called the Bell Tower, right?" Morty nodded slightly, then walked over and looked at the mural that he couldn't see.

"Yes! I saw it when I came here." Xiaogang nodded slightly. When he came here, he did see a tall tower not far away.

"That one was newly built, and what was called the Bell Tower three hundred years ago was actually this Burned Tower."

"The people here built this tower three hundred years ago. After Ho-Oh's visit, this tower became the only place where humans and Pokémon could communicate.

"At that time, Ho-Oh was also hailed as a symbol of peace, but only a few people could be recognized by Ho-Oh."

"My ancestors were one of them, but a hundred and fifty years ago, there were some people who wanted to use the power of Ho-Oh."

"Their behavior angered Ho-Oh. In a rage, Ho-Oh burned the tower and disappeared from the sight of humans, never letting humans see it again."

"Today, everything about Ho-Oh has become a legend."

Morty looked at the strokes in front of him, his expression full of melancholy.

And this legend is different from other legends. Many legends in many places were handed down from ancient times with little evidence and basically impossible to verify.

But their Ecruteak City is different. Because of the existence of this Burned Tower, even after so many years, the people of Ecruteak City believe that the legend is true.

"Is that so? But we have met before!" Misty hugged Togepi, listened to Morty's words, and responded subconsciously.

"What?!"

Hearing Misty's words, Morty turned around in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes! When Ash and I first met, we saw it!" Seeing Morty's surprised look, Misty spoke again.

"That's impossible. Since that time, Ho-Oh has cut off contact with people [you must have read it wrong."

Morty spoke in disbelief, as if he didn't want to believe it, because he had been waiting back and forth between the two towers since he was a child, hoping that one day he could wait for Ho-Oh to return.

But until now, there has been no movement at all. Maybe hearing others say that he had seen it was too much of a shock to him, and he seemed to be a little excited.

Ash didn't argue. Many people were like this. Just like Cross who met before, he also met Ho-Oh, but he was unwilling to admit that he was not the recognized person.

"But we've obviously seen it before. It flew in the direction of the rainbow, and Ash even got its feathers!"

Misty also started to argue, but it was not like she was being thought of as nonsense or pretentious.

…………What?!"

Morty looked at Ash in surprise. He was a descendant of Ho-Oh's followers. He could tell at a glance whether he had Ho-Oh's feathers.

"Yes...can you show it to me?"

Morty listened to Misty's words and was unwilling to miss this opportunity, so he spoke to Ash with excitement.

Ash did not refuse when he saw this. He took the necklace out from his neck and handed the rope of the national necklace to Morty.

"This...is...really Ho-Oh's colorful feather?!"

Morty said incredulously. Although he had never seen Ho-Oh, he firmly believed that these were colored feathers, and then looked at Ash in surprise.

Could it be that Ash is the person Ho-Oh recognized again after being disappointed with humans?

Morty looked at Ash in surprise. You must know that it is difficult to gain trust again after being hurt.

Ho-Oh has not forgiven them yet, but Ash has not only seen it, but also owns its colorful feathers.

Since (De Li Zhao) Ho-Oh left, there has been a legend that it sent three holy beasts to observe the world. Only one day, someone recognized by Ho-Oh appears again, will it appear again.

Colorful feathers are proof of being recognized, but these have always been unfounded.

"Can you give it back to me?" Seeing that Morty was silent, Ash suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Ah! Sorry!!" Morty took a deep look at the necklace in his hand, and then handed it back to Ash solemnly.

Ash took the necklace and put it on again, and at this time, Morty also spoke at the same time.

"I'm sorry that I was too emotional just now. The reason our ancestors did not repair this tower but built a new Bell Tower was to warn future generations."

"And our family, after more than a hundred years of waiting, has yet to wait for Ho-Oh to come again, so I can't believe it for a while."
