Chapter 1200 The Singer "Pudding"
Spike Town.
A punk-style town with buildings piled up haphazardly and crowded together, and a slightly dim overall atmosphere.
Beneath the colorful neon signs, Cypress and the astonishingly roaring tail looked around.
“Eee-ah…”
What a rock and roll place...
Under the tutelage of the Explosive Monsters, Howling Tail mistakenly believes that rock and roll is just six words—
Dark! Bloody! Violent!
The source of the Explosives' knowledge comes from their trainers, namely the members of various third-rate organizations in Ironwood Town in the past.
The saying "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too" is probably a good example of this.
Kashiwagi planned to show the evil cultivator Roaring Tail what a righteous sect is like, to refresh its worldview and prevent it from following the path of the Howling Banshee.
It's fine when you're young, but you might not be able to withstand its sonic attacks when you get old.
Deep inside the town.
The shouting team, with their uniform hairstyles and clothing, were the first to catch the eye, and they also saw Kashiwagi, immediately showing wary eyes.
This kid's trying to steal the cabbage again!
As supporters of Mary, they were more vigilant than her older brother Nie Zi, and even though Bai Mu was a regional champion, he was not immune to their vigilance.
"Crown-cypress!"
A soft call came from the other side, and Mary, who seemed indifferent but actually exuded a pleasant aura, approached.
Calling him by his first name was Kashiwagi's request; using titles would only deepen the rift between them.
He had seen too many adoring glances and didn't want his friends to feel the same way.
"Awaited."
Mary was slightly out of breath, as if she had jogged all the way here.
Morbeco on her shoulder looked at Roartail, wondering why this jigglypuff was acting so strangely.
"Eeee!?"
What are you looking at!?
The short-tempered barking tail immediately snapped back.
Morube was startled, and a surge of anger and hunger instantly transformed him, "Beep!!"
"Morbeko!"
Mary quickly held down the electric rat that was about to pounce, and Kashiwagi slapped the roaring tail on the head as well, "Be friendly! Don't go around acting like a thorn in the side!"
“Ah…”
It roared, its tail covering its head, and glared at the trainer with slight displeasure.
But at least he didn't provoke Morubek again.
To avoid Mari misunderstanding, Kashiwagi explained, "This is Roartail, a Pokémon that looks like Jigglypuff but is not actually Jigglypuff."
"Ee-ah!"
Upon hearing the name "Fat Ding," Roaring Tail reacted angrily, glaring at its opponent.
That's right.
It doesn't even give the trainer any face.
This guy is a combination of being clueless and grumpy, with only his appearance having some redeeming qualities.
Mary suddenly realized, "Regional form?"
"...More or less." Kashiwagi felt that her understanding was probably not wrong.
It is believed that Paradox Pokémon, like Ultra Beasts, will not appear in the next generation normally and must be obtained through special means.
From this perspective, it's not much different from the regional landscape; the only difference is the name.
With the concert still a while away, Mary was eager to take him sightseeing and invite him to try the local delicacies of Spiketown.
Kashiwa readily agreed.
Undoubtedly, despite the fact that Spiketown in the game is only the size of one street and many of the shops along the street are closed, it is still a very small town.
Even though the local economy was in recession, Spiketown in the animation was home to more than 100,000 people and had all kinds of infrastructure.
Mary's familiarity with Spiketown was extraordinary. When she led Cypress through the streets and alleys, almost no two paths were the same, yet she always managed to find her destination with pinpoint accuracy.
"I know every corner of this place!"
The little girl's tone rose, then quickly turned somber as she said, "When I was little, Spike Town was quite lively, but as we grew up, everyone started moving to the big cities."
Population loss has led to the closure of many shops, and if this continues, the population will only decrease.
To restore Spiketown to its former "glory," Mary decides to become an idol—
Uh, the dojo master.
However, considering the invention time of the Max Bracers and Marnie's age, the population loss in Spiketown should have occurred much earlier.
Mary most likely has never seen the truly magnificent Spiketown.
Kashiwa looked around and handed the skewer in his hand to Roaring Tail, whose mouth was full of grease, "One more."
"Ee-ah~"
The evil Jigglypuff accepts all comers, its enormous mouth swallowing everything in its path.
This is the commercial street, the heart of Spike Town, which should be bustling with activity, but it is deserted right now.
As a result, shop owners on the commercial street are too lazy to even turn on their lights, making the whole street incredibly dark.
Cypress looked up and discovered that the light source, besides a few light bulbs that no one knew how many hadn't been replaced, also came from the light shining through the cracks in the dilapidated ceiling.
This……
It seems that what Jianding Town needs to support is not only its economy, but also the morale of its local people.
Which normal tourist would come to a dark place to buy things?
But soon, Kashiwagi realized he was wrong.
The commercial street wasn't lit up because it wasn't time to turn on the lights yet. As tourists flocked to Spiketown to watch the concert, the area suddenly came alive, illuminated by bright lights.
Although it still looks a bit dilapidated, at least it's not as gloomy as it was before.
Thank you for your suggestion!
Mary watched with satisfaction as tourists bought food and props for the concert, and said gratefully, "If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have imagined that my brother's band could attract so many people!"
Prior to this, Nie Zi's band promotion was rather casual, purely out of interest, which led many people to only know that he would sell a small number of records and had no idea that he also held concerts.
Not to mention gathering other people from the rock scene to hold a music festival.
Nie Zi also thought his band was niche and called himself the Sword God of Shilipo, but little did he know that he was already famous all over the world.
He was the only one who was deceived.
—To put it bluntly, this kind of blunder is more common in the Pokémon world.
"Ee-ah~"
The roaring tail quickly became engrossed in the lively atmosphere.
It even "begged" Bai Mu to buy it a sticker of the Nie Zi Band, a cartoon image of a bear sticking out its tongue to block it.
"Are you really going to stick it on my head?"
"Ee-ah!"
"Row……"
He silently pressed the sticker onto the top of Howling Tail's head and patted it hard.
After confirming that it's printed, use the front camera of the phone to show it to the roaring tail.
The roaring-tailed creature looked quite satisfied, whimpering softly.
"..."
Kashiwa sighed.
How did I manage to subdue such a big idiot?
Mary's lips didn't move, but her eyes were full of laughter, while Morubek burst into laughter and rolled on the ground.
"Knock knock—"
The roaring tail took it as a serious provocation and glared at it angrily!
However, the battle did not begin.
Because some tourists nearby said that the concert was open for entry, Marnie used this to stop the two Pokémon from fighting.
The roaring tail gets angry quickly, but it also calms down just as fast. Its fierce face instantly turns into a smile, and it happily tugs at its trainer's clothes, wanting to go in and grab a spot.
"There are assigned seats, so don't rush."
Cypress patted its head.
There are no assigned seats on the shipwreck, and Roaring Tail often clashes with some wild Pokémon that come to listen to the song.
Because of its slightly higher level, almost no Pokémon can defeat it.
Soon no one was competing with it anymore.
But the eccentric howler was still not satisfied. It was used to fighting with others for a seat and would always take the initiative to cause trouble.
Multi-faceted phones believe this is related to its love of lively environments.
Having tasted the loneliness of a roaring tail, I genuinely enjoy the feeling of noise, regardless of its source...
That sounds a bit pitiful?
The ones who actually suffer are the wild Pokémon that get into trouble with it.
Therefore, when Kashiwagi found out, he gave it a good scolding and warned it that if it wanted to take a spot again, it should not use force to bully others.
Roaring Tail agreed without a second thought.
then.
The game of grabbing seats has become a regular feature of the Pokémon Park's shipwreck area.
As they lined up to enter, the lively atmosphere made Roaring Tail overjoyed, and when the warm-up music started, it almost burst into song.
Fortunately, the cypress tree stopped them in time.
He didn't want to blow up the expensive equipment with his high-pitched shouts; losing money was one thing, but causing the concert to be unable to proceed smoothly was another.
"You need to set your volume to level three today, and you can't use any special moves."
Kashiwa reminds you of the roaring tail.
Third gear!
What's the difference between that and not making a sound?
The howling tail gave it a disgruntled look, "Eeee!?"
“There’s no room for negotiation. If you don’t want to, I’ll send you back to Platinum Silver Mountain,” he said firmly.
You can be nice to other Pokémon, but not to Roartail.
It only eats hard things.
The roaring tail gave in, uttering what it thought was a very soft third blast, and looked around curiously.
Its loud voice quickly attracted the attention of others.
"What an adorable Jigglypuff! It's so big!"
"Its trainer even did its hair!"
"I want to raise one too!"
"Jiggling~~"
"babble--"
The Roaring Tail has keen hearing, allowing it to easily hear what others are saying even in noisy environments.
Enraged, it immediately prepared to roar.
But Kashiwagi, quick as a flash, grabbed his mouth and said, "Have you forgotten what I told you?"
"Ee-ah!"
But they insulted me!
The roaring tail was wronged.
Kashiwa took a deep breath and whispered in its ear, "That's because they're ignorant. Don't bother with them!"
"Ee-ah~"
The dazed roaring tail finally calmed down.
Multi-faceted phone quipped, "If Mary hears this, your glorious image will be shattered."
After entering the venue, Mary went backstage to tell her brother, Kashiwagi, that he had arrived.
"I believe she can understand my helplessness." How could Shoujiaowei let it go without smearing those people?
Mary returned soon after.
The concert officially opened, and Nie Zi's Pokémon rock band took the stage—
Lead singer Nie Zi and Du Lan Xiong, drummer Hong Lei Jin Gang Xing, bassist and guitarist are two different types of trembling salamanders, yellow and blue, which are different colors of electricity.
The overall configuration can be described as quite luxurious.
The pop-rock music they sang was a completely new dimension for Howling Tail.
If its masters, the Explosive Monsters, were to come, they might look down on this "conventional" rock, but Howling Tail wouldn't.
It just needs to be lively enough to stir its restless heart.
The restless music, Nie Zi and the blocking bear's shouts, and the chorus of countless people around them—Roaring Tail became completely infatuated with this feeling.
"Ee-ah~"
It revealed a pair of large, watery eyes, tilted its head back, and tugged at the hem of the cypress tree's garment.
Kashiwagi leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong? Want to shout louder?"
"Eee~ Ah~"
Roaring Tail shook its head, pleadingly stating something.
Bai Mu was slightly taken aback; he could vaguely understand what the other person meant.
Think about it.
Want to come again.
"If you like it, I'll definitely bring you here often!" Kashiwagi assured him.
The roaring tail beamed with joy, jumped up, and rubbed against him.
It seems it's genuinely pleased that this stubborn and foolish guy has taken the initiative to get close to it.
The concert lasted a full four hours.
During the event, several new bands went up to help Nie Zi sing, which made Houjiaowei want to go up and sing a song as well.
Fortunately, Cypress reacted quickly, preventing it from succeeding.
"Ee-ah!"
"You're not on their side, don't go!"
"Eee~ Ah~!"
"Can I still lie to you?"
"Ee-ah?"
"You're making me really sad."
"Ee-ah~"
Roaring Tail comforted the feigningly sad Kashiwagi, successfully turning his jokes around until he stopped considering performing on stage.
But after the concert, when they met with Nie Zi, Roaring Tail couldn't help but start singing, causing chaos backstage and many Pokémon running around in a frenzy.
"Death metals?"
Nie Zi covered her ringing ears with one hand and actually managed to make out what the roaring tail was singing.
Kashiwagi, who had caught its lips, nodded. "Yes, this guy learned heavy metal rock from a bunch of popping freaks. I brought it here to broaden its horizons."
"Hmm, you sang well."
Nie Zi gave her evaluation.
Kashiwagi was taken aback. "Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. I used to sing death metal, but because Mary really didn't like it and it was too noisy, I gradually switched to another genre I liked, pop rock."
Nie Zi said in a very serious tone.
Dead sister complex!
Kashiwagi thought to himself, but outwardly looked at its glaring tail and released its elastic lips. "This really surprised me."
He clearly lacked the musical sensibilities to appreciate death rock.
After all, the foundation is the classical guitar of the simulated object [Musician], and the subsequent simulated music-related instruments are also the original instruments such as the piano.
Rock...
It's too far away.
“I have a friend who sings death rock. If you’re willing, you can learn from him.”
Nie Zi proactively sent him an account.
The roaring tail is incomprehensible; it still struggles to understand some of the complexities of human language.
It's because it has had little contact with humans.
After leaving Zone Zero, he only had the opportunity to mingle in human society while he was with Kashiwagi.
Most of the time is still spent interacting with various Pokémon.
After a slight hesitation, Kashiwagi said, "If possible, I would actually like it to learn from you."
"Learn from me?"
Nie Zi was surprised by his words and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't mind, but are your Pokémon willing?"
Kashiwagi then relayed the contents of the conversation to Roaring Tail in front of him.
Without a doubt, the Roaring Tail is quite willing; it knows nothing about so-called musical genres, but simply enjoys sounds that are noisy yet actually quite structured.
Seeing this, Nie Zi said, "Okay, whenever you're free, that's when school starts. I don't have any plans for the next few days."
"Why not now?"
Kashiwagi took the initiative to make the suggestion.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Zi's blocking bear stepped forward, looking down at the roaring tail from its high position, attempting to give this newcomer, who was about to join the team, a hard time.
The Roaring Tail showed no fear whatsoever, and its expression even grew increasingly hostile due to the intimidating power of the other party.
"Ee-ah-"
