Chapter 1071: Meeting the Dragon Man Again
From Boro's mouth.
Kashiwagi learned more information.
For example, the source of the war came from the Diamond Settlements and Pearl Settlements that worshipped the Great Lord Sinnoh.
They started a war due to differences in beliefs, and because they were so powerful that no one could stop them, ordinary people like Boro who were affected had to flee far away.
"Vajra Settlement...Pearl Settlement..."
Kashiwa chewed on these two nouns.
If I'm not mistaken, they should be the predecessors of Team Kong and Team Pearl, and the era he is currently in is earlier than the story line of "Legend of Arceus".
After all, Chuan'a is almost modern, and there are many technological products.
Boro, however, knew nothing about things like electrical wires and electric lights.
So, why did I travel here, and how can I travel back?
As Kashiwagi fell into deep thought, his eyes swept over a strange Pokémon sitting outside the door under the eaves with its back to him and its legs swinging casually.
Boro seemed to have noticed. He considered his words carefully and said, "This is a beast I use. I regard it as my... little girl."
Little girl?
Just raise her as a daughter.
Kashiwagi was not surprised at all, he was more concerned about the way Boro said it.
If this place was near the ancient Xicui area, how could a countryman who had fled here be able to speak like this?
Considering the educational level in mainstream areas, was it so exaggerated in ancient times?
Moreover, ordinary country folk have clean faces, their hair and beards are braided and combed, not messy, and they even know how to boil water for tea...
It's just like the ancient common people living in movies and TV dramas!
His intuition told him that there were certain problems with Boro, and this strange Pokémon he had never seen before might be closely related to the reason why he traveled through time.
"..."
Kashiwagi pretended to take a sip of tea and asked, "Are there any villages or towns nearby?"
"Villages? Yes, there are! There is one at the foot of the mountain!"
Boro nodded quickly, but then said hesitantly: "It's just that the villagers here are extremely xenophobic, so you must be careful."
"Thank you for reminding."
Kashiwagi nodded, and then followed the path indicated by Boro to a nearby human settlement called Kitakami Township.
And soon after watching him leave.
Boro removed a wooden fence from the backyard of the cabin, revealing a deep cave.
Deep in the cave, there seemed to be four pairs of eyes shining.
He touched the Pokémon accompanying him and said, "We haven't been to the countryside for a long time... Do you want to go, Uruk-York?"
"Where's Bo?"
Erguiyan raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes that looked like stars.
-
Go down the mountain road.
During this period, Kashiwagi also encountered many wild Pokémon. When he approached them, most of them chose to hide and dodge.
It can be seen that in places where ancient human activities were frequent, wild Pokémon would not be too ferocious.
“Let’s go to the West.”
He collected some materials and made simple medicines and small explosive bombs.
According to Boluo, the local villagers in Beishang Township are extremely xenophobic. Although he made up an identity for himself as a traveling merchant, what if he was found out?
of course.
You can't trust everything Boro says.
A refugee who lives alone in the mountains, far away from human settlements, accompanied by strange Pokémon, and has extraordinary conversation and living habits.
This is not the modern world built by human civilization!
As for the saying that poor mountains and bad waters give rise to unruly people...
It makes him look like he is from some big city. No matter how evil he is, can he be more evil than Ori under the rule of the Shadow Team?
It was a pity that resources in the mountains were scarce, and after working hard for a long time, he could only make some beggar's version of explosive bombs.
Because of this, he almost got into a conflict with a group of wild Alidos.
"Alas... This is the first time I miss modern industry so much."
He was munching on a sweet peach fruit, with a fainted wild Alidos next to him.
far away.
In the shadows cast by the treetops.
The densely packed wild Ariados and Orb-Silking Spiders were filled with fear and alarm. They watched their companions fall to the ground and did not dare to approach.
There is no other reason.
This human is so scary.
They have basically seen all the humans nearby, and none of them are as ferocious as this one.
They don't run away even when they are chased away by them, and even take the initiative to approach them.
Moreover, this man could just pick up a handful of stones or a branch and beat them so hard that they would flee in panic. He could also easily avoid the venom and spider silk they sprayed.
It's like a monster in human skin!
"Thanks!"
Kashiwagi threw away the fruit core, waved to the Alidos, and left with a small bag filled with various things.
The bag was woven by him twice using vines and spider webs, with skills derived from a simulated subject known as a craftsman.
Many inconspicuous little skills are of great help to him at the moment.
Go down the mountain along the trail.
A few moments.
After going around the bare and rugged rocks, the narrow view suddenly becomes clear.
There is an ancient temple in the front left, and further away are vast fields where farmers are busy.
Affected by the Breath Concealment skill, an old dark-skinned farmer didn't notice his presence until he got completely close.
"Old man——"
"Ugh! Ghost! Ghost!"
The old farmer was so scared that he fell down in the field, was splashed with mud, and crawled backwards in horror.
Upon seeing this, Baimu silently restrained his aura and stopped holding his breath.
When the farmers around heard their companions' shouts, they immediately gathered here quickly with various sticks in their hands.
"Where is the ghost? Where is the ghost? Let me see where the ghost is!"
"It must be those two coming down again!"
"Copy guy!"
Accompanied by bursts of strange local accents, Baimu was soon surrounded by a group of people.
He said calmly, "I am a traveling merchant who has unfortunately fallen into misfortune in your precious place. Is this how you treat guests in Beishang Township by calling for war and killing?"
The farmers raised their sticks and looked at each other in confusion.
"Not a ghost?"
"So tall! They're not the two on the mountain either!"
"What is this birdman mumbling? Hey! He looks so fierce!"
"Call the village chief! Go call the village chief!"
They talked to each other and sent a young man to call the village chief, while the rest continued to look at Baimu vigilantly and went to help the old farmer in the field.
One of the farmers, who had white hair and beard, asked, "Hey! Where are you from? What are you doing here?"
"..."
Kashiwagi realized that the other party didn't understand a word he said, so he described his own experience and identity in a slow voice.
As for where it comes from...
"Hoenn."
When the farmers heard this term, they were confused.
"Hoenn? Have you heard of it?"
"Sister, I do! I know there's a big place in the south called Guanxi."
"It's Kanto, stupid!"
"..."
Kashiwagi was so upset when he heard this that he reminded them that this place was further south than Kanto.
at the same time.
The village chief of Beishang Township was called over.
This was an old man who was probably only about 1.4 meters tall. He squinted his eyes as he looked at the tall and strong Baimu.
"Where are you from, my dear guest?"
"Meet the village chief."
He performed the ancient rituals he had learned from his imitator, the archaeologist, and repeated his self-introduction.
The old man returned the greeting, examined his attire, and said in a hoarse voice, "I am not worthy of being called old man. Please just call me old man. I hope you will forgive me for the crude language of the country folk. Are you traveling alone?"
"What do you mean, old man?"
"At noon, a dragon came with a young man asking for help. We placed him in the room. Perhaps he is the guest's companion?"
"dragon?"
Baimu was slightly startled, and quickly said, "Please take me to see him!"
The village chief glanced at the people around him and nodded, "Okay, my dear guest, please follow me."
He was taken into the village.
There were many children peeking secretly on the road, but not many Pokémon. This shows that before the invention of the Poké Ball, it was difficult for humans and Pokémon to establish a cooperative relationship.
In front of a hut.
The two saw a huge orange-yellow figure.
The village chief said: "With this dragon guarding the young man, we dare not approach casually, distinguished guest..."
Before he could finish, Kashiwagi excitedly stepped forward and shouted:
"Kuailong!"
"Oh?"
Dragonite slowly turned around, and when he saw the familiar Kashiwagi, he flew over excitedly and hugged him, howling non-stop, "Oh oh!"
When the village chief saw this scene, he knew that the peddler and the young man were in cahoots.
A traveling merchant who can command the legendary dragon beast...
He narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat alert.
After all, Kashiwagi claimed that he was attacked by a vicious monster and ended up in Kitakami Township.
What monster can defeat the dragon?
There must be something hidden!
Even if we take a step back and assume that there really are such powerful monsters, wouldn't it be a disaster for Beishang Township if they were lured here?
While the village chief was thinking, Kashiwagi broke free from Dragonite's arms, gave the village chief an affirmative response, and then went into the wooden house.
There was only a simple straw mat in the narrow space, and the dragon man was lying unconscious on it.
Kashiwagi checked the situation.
"Hmm...it should just be a brief fainting caused by external force. It's no problem. I'll give him some medicine."
He smiled and motioned to Dragonite to be at ease, and took out his homemade herbs to feed the dragon man.
Then he checked the dragon man's belongings again, and when he saw the remaining five Poké Balls and several empty Poké Balls, he was a little speechless.
They are both traveling through time, so why do the dragon people come with their own equipment?
Baimu walked out of the wooden house and saw the village chief was still waiting. He hurriedly said, "Thank you for your help, old man. I am very grateful!"
"Haha! That's fine! I'm sure you're hungry after coming from afar. Beishang Township will hold a harvest festival in two days. Now is the time for harvest. Why don't you stay for a while and let us entertain you!"
The village chief laughed and offered to entertain them warmly.
Kashiwagi did not refuse. This kind of reception was undoubtedly a good way to collect intelligence.
At the village chief’s house.
He saw a table full of dishes with an ancient flavor.
Many fruits and vegetables look like modern ones, but they taste completely different from modern ones.
Not only the village chief but also many prominent figures in the village were seated.
At first they were surprised as to why the village chief wanted them to accompany a mere traveling merchant. But when they saw him in person, they realized that he was probably not an ordinary traveling merchant.
The dragon monster that the village chief mentioned later made them even more shocked and surprised.
At the banquet.
When Kashiwagi realized that he was asking questions indirectly, the village chief also asked him about his detailed background and experiences in a roundabout way.
"...To be honest, do you know anything about the sea monster?"
"Sea Monster?"
"That's right. This monster is shaped like a giant fish, several miles long, with wings and can fly. If it appears, it will cause torrential rain! Floods will flood hundreds of miles! The flat land will become a swamp!"
He used the wine to draw Kyogre's appearance on the table.
A group of people gathered around, their faces changing color as they looked at the lifelike Kyogre.
The village chief's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, "Bei, Beishang Township is far from the sea. Will these monsters come ashore?"
"Don't worry, old man. The sea monsters only wreak havoc in the ocean and rarely come ashore." Kashiwagi laughed.
He then described some anecdotes, interspersed with various legendary Pokémon, broadening the horizons of the people from Kitakami present.
It is only natural to talk about the northern continent.
"There is a god in the north, his name is Shen'ao Dazun, he is the master of all things..."
While Kashiwagi was talking.
Someone said, "Huh? Those two hairy people on the mountain seem to be from the northern continent, right?"
The lively banquet suddenly became silent.
The village chief cursed in his local dialect unhappily: "Do you want me to be so nosy?"
Baimu pretended to be curious and asked, "Maomin? Are there people from the northern continent here too?"
"…My dear guest, you may not know that last year a group of hairy people brought strange people to this place, claiming to be lost. We found them very suspicious, so we drove them to the mountain."
The village chief sounded as if it was not us who were unfriendly, it was all Boluo's fault.
In his words, xenophobia is more like racial discrimination.
Boluo's high nose bridge, deep eye sockets and thick curly hair were once considered to be an evil spirit.
If they had not had some communication and learned that they came from the northern continent, they would probably have gone up the mountain with sticks to beat them.
The main reason why Kashiwagi was treated was because everyone had similar faces.
It has something to do with temperament, conversation, including Dragonite, but not that much.
"..."
He was speechless.
This is not incomprehensible.
In ancient China, Russians and Europeans were called Rakshasas and red-haired ghosts.
Although there are more Pokémon in the Pokémon world, they are not necessarily much stronger in ancient times than in the past...
"Don't worry, my dear guest. How can a mere Maomin compare to you? Beishang Township has always welcomed visitors from outside."
Some people thought that Kashiwagi's silence was a sign of worry, and explained with laughter.
Others followed suit.
Only the village chief looked at him with a thoughtful look.
At this time.
A man came running in, shouting, "The boy is awake! The boy is awake!"
Upon hearing this, Baimu immediately stood up and walked out. When he walked out the door, he found that many young people and children were hiding under the window sill and eavesdropping. When they saw his gaze, they immediately pretended nothing had happened.
He withdrew his gaze and walked quickly to the wooden house.
The dragon man was seen holding his head with his hands, looking around in confusion with the help of Dragonite. He perked up when he saw Kashiwagi.
"Kashiwagi! You're here too!"
"How are you, Dragon Man?"
Kashiwagi supported him with concern, and whispered to Dragonite: "Don't let strangers get close to us, drive them all away."
"Oh!"
Kuailong nodded and flapped his wings to drive away the people from Beishang who were approaching.
The dragon man saw this scene and said in confusion: "Kashiwagi--"
"Don't talk yet, listen to me."
Kashiwagi slowly explained the current situation and mentioned again the parts he didn't understand.
The dragon man, who was gradually regaining his spirit, looked surprised.
Time travel?
It was just as exciting as when he fought alone against the Shadow Team to rescue his father.
It’s a pity that he is so weak now for some reason. Even though it’s such an interesting thing, he can’t even be happy.
And looking at his appearance.
Kashiwagi was thinking about something else, "How long have you been here? Why are you injured?"
"Ah? I don't know." The dragon man said blankly: "I just remember that a red Pokémon attacked me and Dragonite, and then threw us down from somewhere..."
A red Pokémon?
It can’t be Gulden!
