Chapter 1197 Ghostly Crossdresser
Evening sunset.
Entrance to the karate dojo.
Kashiwagi turned around and thanked him with a smile: "I'll leave you here, Master Ayaka. Thank you so much for today. Karate is very interesting."
The big-mouthed kid beside him clasped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the octopus martial artist, his expression full of reverence, and said, "Tsk tsk!"
It's just a bit proud, not a rude or ill-mannered person, especially since the other party taught it so diligently.
"Snap!"
The octopus martial artist returned the greeting with a smile.
Seeing this, the Egui Pong tried to imitate it, but its hands were hidden inside its clothes, making it difficult to make any precise movements.
"Bonnie~"
The posture was slightly odd.
The octopus-clawed martial artist didn't seem to care, chuckling as he clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Smack!"
The three children were all very happy together, which shows how enjoyable their short day together was.
This applies to Pokémon as well as to their trainers.
Cai Dou looked somewhat regretful. "Martial arts are not something that can be mastered in a day. Are you really not going to reconsider?"
Her words were echoed by many children behind her.
"Yes! Champion! Let's have a few more days!"
"Champion Brother~"
The innocent voice of a child echoed in front of the door.
During the lunch break, Kashiwagi took the initiative to answer their questions about Pokémon training.
This made them incredibly grateful and excited.
How many people can have the honor of receiving personal guidance from a champion?
This made Cai Dou quite embarrassed. She had invited someone over to have fun, but instead of riding on their popularity, she also got them to help her students train Pokémon.
What's even more embarrassing is that she and her Pokémon ate quite a few of Kashiwagi's snacks.
Products including but not limited to Pokémon cubes, Poffins, and cookies that contain a secret sweet flavoring.
Ayame is a huge fan of all kinds of sweets. Whenever a match or training session ends, she will eat sweets to soothe her mind and body.
When traveling, you can leave other things behind, but you must bring sweets.
In this respect, it's practically a carbon copy of the "sweet treat destroyer" Maw of Fowl, but unfortunately, the two have no similarities in color scheme.
Kashiwagi shook his head and said, "At this stage, my focus is still on pursuing the World Championships Master level. Besides, karate is your path, not mine."
Bea and her Fighting-type Pokémon practice karate diligently every day, gradually improving their strength, but he can't.
There are very few Pokémon in the team that are suitable for martial arts.
How could he possibly focus on just a small group of Pokémon? Pursuing the development of all members is the path he should take.
"I see. It's just a bit of a pity."
Ayaka's face showed relief. "If my father knew about your talent, the title of a once-in-a-century karate genius would surely belong to you."
This is by no means flattery.
She fought Kashiwagi for a total of ten rounds, defeating him only three times with her superior karate skills; the rest of the time, he overcame her with brute force.
During this time, Ayaka also discovered that Kashiwagi did not rely solely on brute force.
The opponent seems to have a background in free fighting, jiu-jitsu grappling techniques, and even some less common boxing styles.
It's just that I'm not particularly proficient at it.
Ayaka believes that if Kashiwagi is willing to formally become a disciple of karate, he will definitely achieve great things!
"There is plenty of time in the future, so there is no need to rush."
Bai Mu chuckled.
These words drew silent criticism from multiple phone users, who thought the trainer was making empty promises again.
Before parting, he handed Bea a can of Pokémon Cubes, saying, "Consider this a memento of today's events, as a gift for my visit. Please don't find it offensive."
"how come!"
Unable to refuse, Ayaka smiled faintly and said, "Come often when you have time. I usually stay at the dojo unless there's a competition or special circumstances."
Amidst the children's reluctant expressions, Kashiwagi waved goodbye to the two little ones.
On the way back to the hotel, he asked Mouthief for his thoughts.
"Tsk-tsk~"
The young lady said that karate is very interesting, especially the kicking techniques, which help improve her close-combat skills.
Kashiwa reached up and touched his head, saying, "That's good."
"Tch!"
The baby smiled sweetly.
When no one else is around, the young lady is at her most obedient, like a large doll, allowing herself to be hugged and kissed at will.
The stark contrast makes Kashiwagi still eager to get close to it.
Of course, this doesn't mean he's tired of the other compliant Pokémon; it's just that Mawile's uniqueness excites him.
Ok……
Is that a bit perverted?
In short, Kashiwagi really likes Maw of Fowl.
"Boni-oh?"
"You touch it too, you touch it too." Bai Mu quickly placed his other hand on E Gui Peng's head, his left and right hands moving with practiced ease.
-
the next day.
Kashiwagi arrived at the station.
Since Suchuan Town has no airport or port, it is necessary to return to Gongmen City.
Today's accompanying Pokémon are Galarian Corsola and Deviljho. Corsola is slightly dissatisfied with the trainer's duty arrangements.
"voice……"
"What a coincidence."
Kashiwagi looked around the station, seemingly searching for something.
Ergui looked up and asked, "Boni?"
“That’s right, I was wondering if there was a chance we’d run into each other during the day.” He nodded with a smile.
Having become a frequent visitor to the spirit world, he was naturally very curious about the ghost train that Dorombalut had discovered.
However, when he went there again last night with Draco, Shiny Gengar, and others, the Spirit Train did not appear, as if there was no train running that night.
That wretched dinosaur! Eating alone!
In a fit of grief and anger, Kashiwagi thoroughly toyed with Dorambaruto, and on the morning of the following day, he sent out Coral, who hadn't accompanied him the night before, to try his luck.
—This is a suggestion from the multi-faceted mobile phone.
It believes that the sun coral, as a reserve gatekeeper of the spirit world, may also have some connection with the ghost train that travels through the spirit world.
Multilateral Beast II makes a bold hypothesis, and Kashiwagi makes a bold argument.
He walked down from the entrance and wandered around the intricate tunnels until he found his target.
"Found it, entrance to Platform Zero."
Platform Zero is the departure point of the ghost train and also the gap between reality and the spirit world.
He and his friends waited until nearly 1 a.m. last night, but no ghost train appeared, so they had to go back to the hotel to sleep.
After opening the door, a pleasant surprise occurred.
A high-speed train was parked quietly on the tracks, its interior brightly lit, and its doors open, spraying cool air from the air conditioner.
If it weren't for the strange darkness all around and the blue sky overhead that was completely unlike daytime, this ghost train would be no different in appearance from an ordinary train.
"Boni-oh~!"
"Yes, thanks to the sun coral!"
Instead of attributing all of this to luck, Kashiwagi decisively handed over the credit to Coral Sun.
Small tricks to stimulate its enthusiasm.
Although it's basically useless, the motivation for corals to rot is shockingly low.
He approached the train and simultaneously released three Dragapults and a Shiny Gengar.
He felt safe surrounded by a group of ghosts.
"Take a look at where this car is going. Don't get on it and find out it's going to some unknown place."
"Isaka gave the instructions," said Kashiwagi.
The ghost Pokémon nodded and dispersed to gather information about the train.
He started wandering around looking for a signboard, but instead of a signboard, he spotted a short-haired girl.
That's right.
It should be a person.
The cypress wood confirmed this after careful examination.
As he noticed the other person, the other person seemed to sense it and looked over as well.
In an instant.
Only a pale, round face with three black holes came into view. Suddenly, Bai Mu's eyes were drawn to it.
"Alas!!"
But the terrified voice came from the other side.
The somewhat thin girl hurriedly stood up, her weak voice coming through the mask, "E-evil spirit?"
"Humanity."
The cypress wood was naturally joined in.
The girl raised her hands in a defensive gesture, then paused, carefully examining them before letting out a sigh of relief. "It really is a person... I must have been mistaken... Huh? How could a human be here!"
She, or perhaps he, remained filled with doubt.
Don't you recognize me?
Kashiwagi stepped forward and pointed to his face. "It's understandable that ordinary people don't recognize me, but you're no ordinary person, Mr. Onio, the owner of the Legend Arena."
Without a doubt, the boy who looks like a girl is actually the second Gym Leader of the Ancient Arena.
Onio, nicknamed "Ghost Boy," is yet another example of GF drawing a female character but insisting she's a male.
Onio was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief after getting closer to see for himself. "It was Champion Ole."
He wasn't surprised that Kashiwagi was in Suchuan Town; he had watched the live broadcast of the match the day before.
"You've gone to the wrong platform. This isn't the train to Gongmen City," he said weakly, his voice extremely low and feeble.
Bai Mu said, "If it doesn't go to Gongmen City, where else can it go?"
"This one……"
Onio didn't know how to explain.
At this moment, Gengar and three Dragapults flew in from different places, chattering away and relaying the information they had gathered.
Seeing this, Onio glanced again at the sun coral on his shoulder, then his eyes widened suddenly. "The gatekeeper..."
"To be precise, they are in the reserve force."
Kashiwagi turned to him and said with a friendly smile, "I know this train is a ghost train, so I came here specifically to see it and experience it."
Such a bold statement took Onio by surprise.
"But... the Ghost Train only carries ghost Pokémon and ghosts... it's not good for humans to get on..."
His voice was very soft, seemingly trying to persuade, but it was actually completely unconvincing.
Kashiwagi countered, "But aren't you going up too?"
"I……"
Onio wanted to say that he was special, but at that moment the ghost train sounded a rapid bell, followed by a voice message.
The source of the sound is a deep male voice.
"Platform 0, the train to Gongmen City is about to depart. Please board in an orderly fashion, and do not push or shove."
Kashiwagi looked at Onio, "Get in the car?"
"..."
Since Onio couldn't possibly miss the train, he had no choice but to board with him.
The lights in the carriage flickered the moment the two stepped inside.
It has a very eerie atmosphere.
Kashiwagi, however, was already used to these situations and, with great curiosity, began exploring the ghost train with several Pokémon.
Onio followed silently, mainly because he was worried that the champion might be in danger.
Even if the other person inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu that they were more familiar with the place than he was.
After passing through several ordinary carriages, an automatic door opened, suddenly revealing large groups of floating balls.
Without a word, they wrapped themselves around Cypress's arm, trying to pull him up.
The encyclopedia describes it as a being that abducts children and tries to take them to another world.
It looks terrifying, but there's actually some additional explanation in the second half—
But they'll always end up being grabbed and tossed around.
There's a kind of beauty that's countered by mischievous kids.
"Giggle~"
Gengar suddenly opened its mouth wide, its blood-red tongue flailing wildly, and a surge of energy poured out, startling all the Floatballs that were entangled with Cypress Tree into quickly scattering.
[Startled]
Ghost-type moves, though relatively weak, are surprisingly effective against Pokémon much weaker than Gengar.
Onio hesitated, "..."
He was shy by nature, and when he saw that his usual friend, Piao Piao Qiu, was being misunderstood, he didn't dare to say a word.
After passing through the Floating Ball carriage, there's the Pumpkin Spirit carriage, the Little Wood Spirit carriage...
Even the Iron-Faced Ninja has a separate carriage, but Kashiwagi knows that the true owner of the carriage is their "sibling" brother, the Shell-Escape Ninja.
After passing through seven or eight carriages filled with wild ghost Pokémon, Kashiwagi suddenly stopped.
The train car was very quiet, so quiet that only the "stones" on the ground were visible.
"Look, sun coral, you've found your brothers and sisters!"
Kashiwagi said in a teasing tone.
No sooner had he finished speaking than countless scarlet lights illuminated the floor of the carriage.
The sun coral on his shoulder rolled off and gently collided with many Galar sun corals.
Kashiwagi: "?"
Onio stepped forward and said in a soft, moved voice, "So you've come to see its family?"
Kashiwagi: "???"
No, buddy, he was just joking!
"Boni-oh?"
Egui Peng looked up at him with admiration. He thought he was here to play, but it turned out he was here to introduce the Sun Coral to his family.
Gengar and the three Dragapults were equally amazed.
I had some doubts about the multi-sided phone, but I didn't dare to bring them up at this time.
Cypress was drenched in sweat.
He strode forward, scooped up his sun coral, and whispered, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I find you in the sea?"
"..."
The sun coral didn't reply, continuing to stare at the other Galar sun corals below.
After a long while, it slowly opened its mouth.
"voice……"
Without needing multiple phone translations, Kashiwagi gradually understood the reason.
It turns out that, compared to the sluggish coral that doesn't like to move, it has a group of friends and family who love to ride the ghost train.
Left with no other choice, it was forced to move around.
Unexpectedly, when the train passed through Waterloo Town, a problem occurred, and a Pokémon broke into a carriage, causing it to fall out.
Then, propelled by the waves, it sailed far away.
Normally, after being separated from loved ones, one would try to find their way back, but the sun coral likes to slack off and drifts with the current until it is finally retrieved from the seabed by Kashiwagi a long time later.
Its relatives and friends have been traveling all over the world on ghost trains in search of it, but to no avail until now.
Kashiwagi: "...Is that so?!"
No wonder it was the only Galar sun coral in the sea at that time, with nothing else around it.
So it was by chance that the sun coral ended up there?
Now, because of his unintentional act, Coral Sun has been reunited with his old friend.
Did my curiosity do something good?
Kashiwagi put down Corsola and turned to look at the group of Pokémon who had heard the reason.
"This was indeed unexpected."
He stated it very honestly.
The Pokémon didn't react much, but Onio was somewhat moved. "This... this must be fate. I think that as long as we're willing, we'll meet again sooner or later. The existence of the Ghost Train has also become meaningful."
