MTL - Not a Trainer This Time-Chapter 326 New memories suddenly arise

Chapter 326: New memories suddenly arise

Zhishu and Eguitun rode Guledun down the mountain. When they were about to arrive at Emerald Town, Eguifen suddenly showed a fearful expression on his face.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 “Ah gah?”

Huluton glanced back, then landed outside the town, and turned around with Naoki to look at the frightened Eguifen.

"What's wrong?" Naoki was a little confused, but then he realized that Eguifen might be afraid of coming to the town because of his experience of being ostracized by the townspeople before.

“Don’t you want to go in?” Naoki asked.

 "Boni..." Eguifen nodded slightly.

 At this time, a villager carrying a **** passed by.

Egui Peng immediately put on his mask in panic and hid behind Naoki.

The villager glanced here and recognized Zhi Shu as a farmer who came to Beishang Township from other places for exchanges.

 He smiled, waved his hand and said hello: "Good afternoon! Have you had lunch?"

"Not yet." Naoki replied politely: "I visited outside for a while, and now I'm getting ready to go back."

The villagers smiled and nodded, then left with their hoes.

Huluton lowered his head helplessly: "Ah, geez..."

"Don't be afraid." Naoki turned around and looked at Ergui. He thought about it carefully and asked, "It was the descendants of the mask craftsmen in the village who told me about you. His ancestors once wanted to tell the truth to others. Villagers, but they were persecuted by those people until they lost their lives."

"Boni..." Erguipun showed hesitation. It touched the mask on its face, and the human craftsmen who made these masks for it appeared in the depths of its memory.

"The descendants of that craftsman have been worried about you and feel very sorry for you. Would you like to go with me to see him?" Naoki asked.

Afraid of Equai, Zhi Shu comforted him again: "Don't worry, no one will hurt you this time. Whether it's me or Guluton, they will all stand by your side."

 “Ah gah!” So ​​Luton shouted in agreement.

Eguifen looked up at them and couldn't help but look moved.

It hesitated for a moment, then finally summoned up the courage and nodded slightly.

Zhishu reached out and touched Er Gui's head. He turned around and looked at the town. He saw that it was still some distance from Wuli's house, and he might encounter many villagers during the process.

 At that time, Ergui might be very scared.

After thinking for a while, Naoki took out an empty poke ball: "If you are afraid, come here first!"

 Ergui ran into the elf ball without hesitation.

The red and white elf ball shook slightly twice, and then became completely quiet.

 This means that the conquest is successful.

 But his mood was completely different from when he conquered Kuailosaurus and the others before. Even though he knew that this Pokémon might be a legendary Pokémon, Naoki was not happy at all.

 Because Equei is so pitiful.

　　It is simply the most pitiable Pokémon other than King Thunder. In a sense, it is even more miserable than King Thunder.

“When we return to the pasture, we must let the Frost Milk Fairy and the others take good care of Ergui and play with Ergui.” Naoki thought to himself.

He sighed silently, put away the elf ball with his backhand, and then led Gulledon into the town. As expected, he met many townspeople who greeted him along the way.

Zhishu responded one by one, and soon he arrived at Wuli's house.

Wuri's grandfather Xuezhong was feeding a mosquito tadpole by the Magikarp fountain. When he saw Naoki coming, he quickly stood up and asked, "Have you seen the Egui Puppet?"

Zhishu nodded, then took out Ergui's elf ball and released Ergui.

The moment he saw Ergui, Xuezhong's eyes widened immediately, and then he quickly closed the courtyard door and pushed Naoki and the two Pokémon into the house.

Xuezi, who was preparing lunch, had a surprised look on her face when she saw this scene, and the iron basin in her hand fell to the floor with a clang.

 Wuli and Danyu, who were watching TV on the sofa, also quickly got up.

Danyu covered her mouth with her hands in shock, while Wuli stared blankly at Ergui.

Although he has never seen it with his own eyes, the masked figure is so familiar!

Danyu asked in disbelief: "That Pokémon is..."

Zhishu glanced at the Ekuei who was hiding behind him, and introduced: "It is the Ekuei."

Wuli felt extremely excited at this moment.

He has been fond of ghosts since he was a child, because ghosts are very powerful. He killed three treasure companions by himself. This is really cool!

 And after hearing the truth about ghosts from his grandfather, he likes it even more now.

 Xuezhong on the side made sure that the doors and windows were closed, and then looked at Erguifen with tears in his eyes, and murmured: "It's great... it's great..."

 “Boni?” Erguifen was still very timid and looked cautiously at the unfamiliar humans in front of him.

Zhi Shu introduced: "This is the descendant of the craftsman who made the mask for you. The two here are his grandson and granddaughter."

With that said, Naoki looked at Xuezhong again and said to him: "Eguifen is willing to leave with me. I plan to take it away from here and go to my hometown after the exchange meeting ends in two days."

“Okay, okay, I’ll leave everything to you then!” Xuezhong felt like a big stone had fallen to the ground in his heart.

He sat on the sofa with relief, but as soon as he sat down, it bounced back like a spring: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing!"

 “What?” Naoki was slightly startled.

Xue Zhong explained: "Mask, Ergui's mask!"

"My ancestors once made four masks for ghosts. Now it looks like there is only one left... Huh? This mask is broken?" Xuezhong said, observing carefully.

Hearing this, Ergui took off his mask and looked down at the green grass mask in his hand sadly.

Naoki originally wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the other three masks, but after hearing this, he changed his mind and asked, "Can the masks still be repaired?"

This thing is so important to Erguifen, it carries the memories of its past. If it can be repaired, it should be repaired.

“Although my skills are not as good as those of my ancestors, don’t worry, there is still no problem in repairing this mask!” Xuezhong took the mask and inspected it carefully.

 “That’s good.” Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Zhong: "I have all the other materials to repair the mask, but there is one very critical material that I need your help with."

  “What is it?”

“Crystal fragments sunk at the bottom of the Crystal Light Pool.” Xuezhong said: “It’s just that the Crystal Light Pool is located at the top of the Ghost Mountain. There are many dangerous Pokémon living along the way. It’s not easy to get there.”

 Equie Ming on the side couldn't help but feel very worried when he heard this.

Zhi Shu ignored the second half of the sentence, because for them, no matter how strong the wild Pokémon was, it was not a problem for Guluton and Babutubo: "The top of the ghost mountain? I understand, I will go there right away."

Zhishu took out the elf ball, put the Ergui Pulse back, then turned around and walked out the door without looking back, riding Guluton straight to the top of Ghost Mountain.

However, halfway through, Ergui suddenly ran out of the elf ball on his own initiative, with a worried look on his face: "Boni..."

Naoki immediately realized Erguifen's mood. He reached out and touched its head and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry."

But Erguifen was still uneasy, and after a brief hesitation, it decided to stay outside.

Although it is not very good at fighting, it can also help Naoki if he needs it.

 Thereupon, Zhishu and Erguichen rode on Guledun and flew toward the top of Ghost Mountain.

 At the same time, the Xue Zhong family. Xuezhong looked at the green grass mask in his hand and said to the curious Dan Yu and Wu Li: "There are four ghost masks in total. In addition to this green grass mask, there are three other masks."

“What is it?” Dan Yu asked hurriedly.

"They are the blue well mask, the red fire stove mask, and the gray foundation stone mask." Xuezhong sighed: "But these three masks are now being kept in the shrine in the center of Kitakami, and the villagers regard them as... The relics of the three companion Pokémon..."

 “Damn it! How could this happen?!” Dan Yu gritted his teeth angrily.

Although Wuli didn't speak, he clenched his fists.

“Well, forget it, the most important thing now is to help Egui Peng repair this green grass mask first.” Xuezhong sighed, stopped eating, turned around and began to concentrate on repairing the green grass mask.

 Wuli and Danyu became more and more angry after finishing lunch.

They came to the town, and Dan Yu was trembling with anger: "It's so abominable! That is obviously something evil!"

Wuli looked towards the north direction of the center. He pulled his sister's sleeves and mustered up the courage to say: "Sister, let's go get the mask back and give it back to the ghost!"

Hearing this, Dan Yu seemed to be clicked, and she said excitedly: "That's right! I didn't expect you to be quite smart, Wu Li!"

Dan Yu looked around: "At this time, everyone is having lunch, and there is no one at the north center. Let's go! Let's go get the mask back and give it back to Eguipun!"

The two siblings talked to each other, quickly made a plan, and then quietly sneaked into the Beishang Center halfway up the mountain.

   *

 The top of Ghost Mountain.

 Under the leadership of Gu Ledun, Zhishu avoided the pain of climbing the mountain and went directly to the top.

 But when he saw clearly the situation on the top of the mountain, he suddenly froze on the spot.

The beautiful lake lies quietly on the top of the mountain, and under the calm lake surface, sleeping piece after piece of crystals emitting bright light!

That crystal is clearly found at the bottom of the Padia Pit!

Dr. Olin said that these crystals contain huge amounts of crystal energy.

At this moment, Naoki suddenly realized how the previous lava bug was too crystalline.

 But...why is there Taijing that is only found in the Padia region in Beishang Township, which is far away on the other side of the planet?

Egui Pun on the side didn't understand these things. It looked at the shining stones under the lake and suddenly became happy: "Boni!"

 It can feel that this kind of power also existed on its mask before!

Seeing that Ergui was happy, Zhishu thought it was happy for this beautiful crystal light pool.

 Guluton slowly landed on the ground. Zhishu got off it and asked, "Has Eguifen been here before?"

Eguifen shook his head, then took off his little feet and ran to the lake with brisk steps, looking at the beautiful stones at the bottom of the lake with bright eyes.

There are no other humans here, and Erguifen is in a very relaxed state.

 Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun followed with a smile.

 He observed the situation at the bottom of the lake, thinking about how to obtain the crystal fragments below.

Looking around, the ground around the entire crystal light pool showed a strange white color, with some gravel scattered here and there.

“It seems that Ghost Mountain was once a volcano.” Naoki guessed in his mind.

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, after the volcano erupted, a crystal light pool gradually took shape in the crater.

 The large amounts of volcanic ash scattered in this area made the land extremely fertile, attracting people to settle here and establish Beishang Township.

“Could it be that Taijing comes from the ground?” Naoki couldn’t help but guess.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies?

At this time, Eguifen showed a troubled expression on his face, because the stones were all at the bottom of the water and he didn't know how to get them.

Seeing this, Naoki smiled, and then began to take off his clothes: "Just leave it to me!"

In the sunshine, he jumped vigorously and dived into the lake, then picked up a few crystal fragments from the bottom.

 After a while, Naoki resurfaced and said to Eguifen with a smile: "I got it successfully!"

 “Boni!” Eguifen screamed happily.

Zhi Shu got dressed and didn’t stay here long: “Next, let’s go back to the town to repair the mask!”

He rode on Gulton, stretched out his hand to pull Egui Pulse up, and then they returned to Green Town together.

 When it got close, Ergui was still very scared, and it took the initiative to run back into the elf ball.

Seeing this situation, Naoki sighed helplessly.

In this case, he didn’t want to stay in Beishang Township anymore, because Eguifen didn’t seem to like it here at all.

“Forget it, let’s look back and see if we can end the exchange activities early and go back to Padia!”

 Guluton landed in the yard of Xuezhong's house, and Zhishu handed the Taijing fragments collected to Xuezhong.

Xuezhong was shocked by his flying speed: "So fast?!"

“That’s because of the help of flying Pokémon!” Naoki smiled.

 Gulton on the side shouted proudly: "Ah gah!" That's right, that's it!

"Sure enough, I read it right!" Xuezhong took a deep breath: "Then the next step is the last step!"

 He placed the pieces of Taijing on the mask, then picked up the tools and continued tinkering.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhi Shu turned around and looked around, but did not see Wu Li and Dan Yu.

Huh? Where did those two guys go?

Just when Naoki was confused, Xuezhong in the room suddenly made a happy voice: "It's done!"

Zhi Shu hurriedly walked over and saw Xuezhong holding a brand new green grass mask in his hand.

 The mask is inlaid with a crystal that exudes beautiful brilliance, and a strange energy is slowly flowing in it.

At just one glance, Naoki felt that this mask was unusual.

It is definitely the same as Dialga's Diamond Orb, it is an exclusive prop for Ergui!

 “Okay, let’s release the Egui Pulse!” Xuezhong said expectantly.

Zhi Shu nodded, and with a flash of white light, Eguifen's figure appeared in the room.

Zhishu reached out and took the mask from Xuezhong, and then handed it to Eguifen.

Egui stared blankly at this brand new green grass mask. At this moment, time seemed to have returned to the past.

 At that time, the former mask craftsman also handed the mask to it like this.

Memories of the past surfaced, and tears shone in Erguifen's eyes.

　　It looked up at Naoki, then wiped away the tears with his hands, and put this mask carrying new memories on his face.

And the moment Ergui put on the mask, it was Baoban Square located on the top of Apple Hill.

As if sensing the aura of the mask, a purple beam of light suddenly erupted from the shrine dedicated to the Three Treasures.

Three Pokémon with an ominous aura crossed their arms and slowly walked out of the light pillar with domineering steps.

Looking at this familiar world, evil smiles appeared on their faces.

At the same time, Naoki was asking Ergui how it felt to put on the new mask, and an anxious voice suddenly came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a girl hurriedly rushed in and said anxiously:

“Grandpa Xuezhong, it’s bad! Wuli and Danyu went to the Beishang Center to steal masks and were caught!”
