"Pipi!"
"Woo~~"
"The song~"
The four little ones were quite interested in this and also wanted to know why Bai Luo disliked this place.
"There are two versions of the ghost legend. I'll start with the one circulating in Kitakami Village."
Bai Luo and his group were walking down the stairs, but none of the occasional tourists seemed to notice him, as if Bai Luo and the others didn't exist at all.
"Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a very terrifying ghost in Kitakami Village. It haunted the mountains behind the village and would usually scare people who entered the mountains."
Ignoring the pedestrians passing by, Bai Luo began to tell the story of the ghost that was circulating in Kitakami Village.
"One day, the ghost flew into a rage for some reason and suddenly went on a rampage down the mountain."
Bai Luo: "But at this time, there happened to be three Pokémon in the village: Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti."
"They risked their lives and finally drove the ghost back into the mountains."
"So, the villagers regarded them as heroes who saved the village, affectionately called them the Loyal Three, and named the area where they were buried Loyal Three Plaza."
"They also built statues of them in the plaza."
Speaking of this, Bai Luo waved his hand, and the appearance of the Loyal Three Plaza and the statues of the three Pokémon immediately appeared around them.
The four girls and four Pokémon didn't interrupt, but continued to listen attentively to the story Bai Luo was telling.
"Legend has it that the ghost has four shiny, magical masks, and the power it wields varies depending on the mask it wears."
"Wearing the green mask can revive withered plants; wearing the red mask can make candle flames burn brightly; wearing the blue mask can stop the flow of rivers; wearing the gray mask can easily crush hard rocks."
"However, before falling, the Loyal Three stole three of the ghost's masks, sealing most of its power, preventing it from harming the world again."
After saying that, Bai Luo said: "The above is the legend about the ghost circulating in Kitakami Village."
Chapter 115: Ogerpon (Seeking Subscription)
"In this story, the three Loyal Three are heroes who protect the village. They defeated the evil ghost and stole her power."
Bai Luo: "However, the true history is not like this."
Originally, the Pokémon, who somewhat admired the Loyal Three for fighting to the death for justice, were suddenly stunned to hear Bai Luo say this.
"Kowa? (Is this fake?)"
"Pii?"
"Mew (Then what's the truth, Master?)"
Bai Luo stroked the Vulpix in his arms and continued, "The ghost isn't a bad person. This story is a false lie from the beginning."
"The legendary ghost in Kitakami Village is named Ogerpon. Not only is she not fierce, but she is a very kind Pokémon."
"A long time ago, a man from a foreign country came to Kitakami Village with Ogerpon.~"
"They originally wanted to settle down here, but they were ostracized by the villagers because of their appearance, which was different from the locals."
"Helpless, the man and Ogerpon had to live in a cave in the mountains outside the village."
"The mask craftsman in the village felt sorry for them, so he personally made four masks for them,"
Bai Luo: "And the gems inlaid on those masks were brought by the man from a foreign country."
"After wearing the masks, the man and Ogerpon began to get along with the villagers in a friendly manner, and sometimes they would secretly participate in the village festivals."
Although this prequel to the story was short, everyone could hear the humility and kindness of Ogerpon and the man.
Even if they were ostracized, even if they were嫌弃 for their strange appearance.
They still didn't hate the villagers.
Instead, they lived silently in the mountains until they met the mask craftsman and received the few kindnesses.
"Although they are not welcomed by the villagers."
Hongye said with emotion: "But being able to secretly participate in the festivals and feel the lively atmosphere of the village in the corner, they must have been satisfied."
This sentence allowed the Pokémon to feel sadness while also being able to understand.
Small and humble happiness is that simple.
"If things could have continued like this, they might have eventually been accepted."
"However, the good times didn't last long. The gorgeous masks attracted three greedy Pokémon."
Bai Luo changed the subject: "They secretly sneaked into the man's residence, trying to steal the masks."
"The man tried his best to protect the Teal Mask, but the other three were stolen by the three little thieves."
"And when Ogerpon returned to the cave, all she saw were the traces of the fight and the only remaining Teal Mask."
Realizing that the man who was like a father and brother had met with misfortune, Ogerpon flew into a rage.
She put on the mask and came to the village at the foot of the mountain, and in a rage, killed all three little thieves.
"The villagers who didn't know the truth thought that Ogerpon was going to attack the village,"
Bai Luo: "And the three Loyal Three saved each other and protected the village."
"Kowa!!"
"Pii! Pii Pii!"
"Mew!!"
When Bai Luo said this, the three Pokémon couldn't bear it any longer and all spoke up for Ogerpon.
At the same time, they were very dissatisfied with the Kitakami villagers who didn't know right from wrong.
"Ogerpon didn't explain anything."
Bai Luo: "She left the three masks behind and returned alone to the cave that was left to her, immersed in grief until this day."
"No wonder Master hates the people of this place."
Hongye said, "Ogerpon is clearly the victim, but those few thieves got the name of the Loyal Three and have been worshiped for hundreds of years."
"Has no one ever suspected the truth of this matter?"
The one who asked this question was Mao'er.
Don't look at the girl who is always fighting with Delta on weekdays, but in fact, her mind is particularly sensitive.
After all, she herself had once transformed into a cat and wandered alone in the K world.
When she heard that Ogerpon's family was killed, and she faced the empty cave after taking revenge, Mao'er empathized with that kind of loneliness.
"Master, let's go help Ogerpon."
Mao'er just wants to find Ogerpon now, and then give her a warm hug and a new home.
And her idea was unanimously approved by Hongye and the Pokémon.
"That's what I'm here for."
Bai Luo smiled and comforted Mao'er in the sanctuary, and then said, "Also, not everyone thinks Ogerpon is bad."
"In fact, the craftsman who helped Ogerpon and the man make the masks once tried to tell the villagers the truth afterwards."
"But the result was that the villagers didn't believe the craftsman's words at all and even ostracized him."
It's conceivable what kind of persecution the only craftsman who knew the truth would suffer afterwards.
"The people here are really too bad!"
Even Delta, who has always been carefree, began to hate this place in Kitakami Village.
"Although most people in the Pokémon world are simple and honest."
"But there are always some guys who are full of calculations in their hearts."
In Bai Luo's view, among the residents of Kitakami Village in the entire Teal Mask, only the old couple who were descendants of the craftsman were truly good people.
The others...
刁民!
Kitakami Village is full of 刁民!
Especially that bald administrator.
He clearly knew the truth of the matter and defeated the Loyal Three, but he still kept their shrines afterwards.
He even said that he knew the Loyal Three were bad people, but the Loyal Three's shrines were innocent.
Not only did he want to rebuild the shrines, but he also asked Bai Luo, who was a player, to find wealthy people to fund them.
What's even more excessive is that the player donated 100,000 yuan, but only got the most ordinary T-shirt.
And as long as the player returns to the old couple, they will give away such T-shirts for free, and there is no Kitakami Village advertisement.
Yes, advertisement!
The T-shirt given by the bald old man is printed with an advertisement for Kitakami Village.
The reason for giving it to the player is actually to let the player wear it out so that it can promote Kitakami Village and attract more tourists.
MD!
It's simply too欺人太甚!
"Boss!"
After listening to Bai Luo's description of the shameless behavior of this group of 刁民 in Kitakami Village, Delta immediately said, "Let me kill them!"
"Uh..."
Bai Luo was stunned for a moment, and then said awkwardly, "What, Delta, your idea is a bit extreme."
Although the residents of Kitakami Village are greedy and selfish, they don't deserve to die.
The reason why Bai Luo wants to do something is more to vent his anger for Ogerpon, who is about to become a companion.
Of course, Bai Luo wouldn't force Ogerpon if she didn't want to.
Anyway, there is a way to punish Kitakami Village in the original plot.
Bai Luo only needs to awaken Pecharunt to let the residents here taste the lesson.
"Cough cough."
"Let's talk about these things later."
"The most important thing now is to find Ogerpon first."
Bai Luo has already locked on to Ogerpon's aura.
But he didn't use instant movement to appear directly in front of her, that would scare her.
So, Bai Luo continued to conceal his and the Pokémon's auras, and then quietly passed through the Oniyama rocks and came to the vicinity of the Crystal Cave where Ogerpon lived.
"We're here."
Bai Luo put down the Vulpix and Pipi in his arms and said, "Ogerpon is in that cave over there. You go over first and tell her that I want to meet her."
"Remember, the point is to make her not afraid."
"We emphasize being friendly!"
Bai Luo said that they are all good people and will not bully the cute Ponpon like the 刁民 in Kitakami Village.
"Woo~"
"Pii!"
After listening to Ogerpon's story, the two little ones sympathized with her very much.
After learning that Bai Luo wanted to subdue Ogerpon and take her away, Pipi and Vulpix immediately accepted the mission and ran happily towards the Crystal Cave.
"Bo ne?"
Inside the Crystal Cave, a Pokémon of about 1 meter tall, with a petite body, was gnawing on the tree fruit found in the forest.
This Pokémon has a green body, decorated with white flowers and yellow circular patterns.
The outside of her legs is black, the inside is white, and there are 2 green leaves between her toes.
"Pii?"
"Woo?"
