Chapter 203: Bixu Town, Mysterious Red Star (Qingshan Beach, Showdown on the Beach)
After the Fengyang Conference ended, Heimer left Fengyang Town and came to a small town called Bixu Town with the Pokémon.
The sea near Bixu Town is called Qingshan Sea.
Trainers who set out on a journey from Bixu Town will cross the Light Mountain Sea before setting off to prove that they are ready to set off.
This can also be considered a blessing. May your boat pass through thousands of mountains, ride the wind and waves, experience thousands of sails, and successfully reach the other side of your dreams.
In addition, because the starry sky has a very unique meaning to the residents of Bixu Town, many trainers who are preparing to travel will choose to take a boat across the Qingshan Sea at night.
However, in recent times, everyone in Bixu Town has been very afraid to get close to that beach.
The specific reason is... It is said that one night, when someone was preparing to cross the Qingshan Sea by boat, a small dot emitting a faint red light slowly floated to the surface of the sea.
It is said that the man abandoned the ship and fled on the spot, and after that, more and more people saw the strange red dot on the sea. It is also said that some people saw the red dot jump out of the sea and tear the sails of the abandoned ships with very terrifying movements.
The rumor became more and more serious. Someone hid behind a rock and took a close look. It was a black shadow with a glowing red dot. Its outline looked like a star.
So, the fraudulent fortune teller in the town pretended to touch the crystal ball and spoke to the townspeople.
Fortune teller: "A star that glows red!!! That's a very bad omen!!! A very bad omen!!!"
The stars themselves have special meaning to the people in the town. After the fortune teller’s scare, no one dared to go to Qingshan Beach anymore.
At this moment, Heimer had just arrived at the Pokémon Center in Bixu Town. After hearing what Miss Joy said about this matter, he asked in confusion.
Chi Haimo: "Ah? Are there really such creatures?"
Joey: "Yeah!! It is said that he has eight mouths!! His tongue is two meters long!! He is eight feet tall!! So scary!!"
After hearing Miss Joy's description, Heimer, who had originally thought it was a Pokémon, immediately began to doubt himself.
(In the Kanto region...are there such Pokémon?)
Chi Haimo: "Well... is there anyone in this town who clearly saw the specific appearance of that red dot and black shadow?"
Joey: "Well, after the fortune teller said that it was a very bad omen, no one dared to go near the beach. After all, it was a very bad omen!! A very bad omen!!!"
Chi Haimo: "But it's not a good idea to continue like this."
Joey: "Well... But there's nothing we can do about it. Originally, we crossed the light mountains and seas to bring good luck to ourselves before we embark on our journey. But now... Oh! Oh, right! Can I ask you to go?"
Chi Haimo: "Ah? Me?"
Joey: "Yeah, oh, of course, if you are also afraid of the bad omen, I can understand."
Chi Haimo: "Well, that won't happen, um... Then I'll go take a look."
After hearing what Heimer said, Miss Joy said happily.
Joey: “Really?!!!”
Chi Haimo: "Yeah, I also want to see what this red dot and black shadow is."
(Well, if it’s a new species of Pokémon, I can take a photo of it for the professor.)
At this moment, the fortune teller who had spread the rumors before heard the conversation between Heimer and Joey and smiled maliciously.
At night, Miss Joy gave Heimer a scrapped boat. The sail was made of a scrapped curtain. Because it was said that the red shadow liked to tear the sails, Miss Joy only helped Heimer repair the sail.
After Heimer pushed the boat to the seaside, he waited for a while. Not long after, a flashing red dot slowly rose from the sea.
Seeing this, Heimer immediately ran and hid beside a rock, then took out a night vision telescope to observe Pokémon that appear at night.
At this moment, the black shadow with the red dot has stepped onto the boat pushed by Heimer, and as Miss Joy said, began to tear the sails on the boat. Judging from the movements of the black shadow, it seems that he is very happy to tear them.
(Phew, take a deep breath, Hammer, there's nothing to be afraid of.)
Heimer swallowed his saliva, picked up the telescope and looked towards the ship, only to find that there was no monster with eight mouths at all, and the red shadow was actually a starfish!!!
I saw Hai Xingxing happily tearing the sails on Heimer's boat, then draping it over herself and posing in various poses.
The sea breeze blows the cloak on Hai Xingxing's body. At this moment, Hai Xingxing looks like Superman in the movie. With the pose he poses, he looks very majestic.
(Hmm... So who spread the rumor about eight mouths, um, eight feet tall...)
After Hai Xingxing put away the cloak he had made with satisfaction, he jumped directly into the sea and moved towards the nearby reef.
Seeing this, Heimer immediately followed. After arriving at the reef, Heimer took out the Coyote's Poké Ball. A white light flashed, and the Coyote appeared in front of him obediently.
Chi Haimo: "Coyote dog, I have a favor to ask of you. Smell this and then look for a similar smell."
Before coming to investigate, Heimer coated the curtain fabric used to make the sails with spices that had a longer-lasting scent.
Although the smell should be weakened after being washed by sea water, as long as the starfish is near the reef at this moment, it should still be tracked.
The coyote sniffed around and soon found the trace of Starfish.
After Heimer came to the vicinity of Sea Star with the coyote dog in his arms, Heimer picked up the night vision telescope again and was stunned by the scene he saw.
Sails of all sizes and colors were torn into the shape of cloaks. Starfish was seen happily wearing cloaks of various colors and posing in various handsome poses in front of a broken mirror stuck on the reef.
(Hmm... Let's take a photo first. This way I can explain this to the residents.)
Just as Heimer was about to take out his pocket navigator to take a picture, the fortune teller who was following him led a group of residents to the reef.
The fortune teller shouted in pretended shock after seeing the starfish with a faint red light at its core in the darkness.
Fortune Teller: "Oh my god! A red star of great bad luck has appeared! Residents! We can't be scared anymore. We need to be brave! Come on, everyone!"
Resident: “But, that’s a bad omen.”
Fortune Teller: "Oh, if we let the Pokémon use ranged attacks, there won't be any problems."
After hearing the fortune teller's words, everyone took out their Pokémon. In an instant, destructive rays, water cannons, flame jets, and all kinds of powerful long-range attacks attacked Starfish and those cloaks.
There was a loud bang!!! The cloaks collected by Starfish were destroyed by the move and scattered in the wind.
Faced with this sudden scene, Hai Xingxing was very flustered and scared. Seeing her precious cloak being destroyed, Hai Xingxing collapsed to the ground in pain.
Chi Haimo: "Ah?? What is this?? Where did the attack come from?"
Heimer looked towards the direction where the attack was coming from and found that it was the residents of the town who were launching the attack.
At this moment, a destructive death ray shot towards Hai Xingxing at a rapid speed. After Hai Xingxing was directly hit by the destructive death ray, his body became covered with scars.
When Heimer saw this scene, he didn't care about anything else. He just squatted down and held Hai Xingxing in his arms and asked anxiously.
Chi Haimo: "Haixingxing! Are you okay?!"
Starfish: "Yeah..."
Hai Xingxing was very weak and had no strength to respond to Heimer's call.
At this moment, a water cannon quickly attacked Heimer and Sea Star. Seeing this, Heimer immediately took out the Lizard King's Poké Ball.
Chi Haimo: "Lizard King, Blade Leaf!!"
The white light dissipated, and after the Lizard King came out of the Poké Ball, he waved his arms, and a green light blade immediately unfolded. Under the Lizard King's waving, it passed through the water cannon like a green meteor and immediately disintegrated the water cannon.
At this time, Heimer hugged Hai Xingxing and hugged the Lizard King from behind and said to him.
Chi Haimo: "Next, Lizard King, move at high speed!"
After the faint blue light enveloped the Lizard King's body, the Lizard King approached the residents of Bixu Town at an extremely fast speed.
When the residents saw Heimer and the Lizard King, they immediately stopped the attack.
Residents: "There's someone!! Everyone, stop attacking!!!"
After the Lizard King stopped, Heimer got down from the Lizard King's back holding Hai Xingxing, and said angrily.
Chi Haimo: "Look at what you guys have done!!! Why did you do this?!!!"
Fortune Teller: "Why? Humph! If a great omen befalls the town, can you bear the consequences?!"
Chi Haimo: "There is no omen of bad luck at all! The glowing red dot at night is just the red core of Hai Xingxing's body that glows at night! You have all been deceived by this fortune teller!!"
After hearing what Heimer said, the residents began to talk about it. The fortune teller saw that the situation was gradually turning towards Heimer, so she decided to burn her boats. She spoke in an urgent tone.
Fortune teller: "Don't believe him!!! This boy has been infected with a very bad omen!!!"
Hearing the fortune teller say this, Heimer said helplessly.
Chi Haimo: "Please, what era is this? How could anyone still believe this..."
Before Heimer finished speaking, someone in the crowd spoke up.
Residents: “Hang him!!!”
(Oh, okay, just forget I said that...)
After one person's voice appeared, more voices echoed it. When the fortune teller saw that the situation turned to him again, he immediately shouted.
Fortune Teller: "Let's go quickly, don't let them run away!!!"
As soon as the fortune teller finished speaking, the residents immediately stepped forward, ready to surround Heimer and the others. Heimer sighed helplessly and took out Jigglypuff's Poké Ball.
Chi Haimo: "Please, Jigglypuff, sing! Let these guys calm down their brains!!"
The white light dissipated. Because the situation was urgent, Jigglypuff did not bow this time, but started singing directly. Under Jigglypuff's control, the wonderful melody pulled all the people who were in panic, anxiety and anger into a deep dream.
When Heimer saw that the fortune teller and her group were all asleep, he immediately took out his pocket navigator and called Miss Junsha in the next town.
The next day, Hai Xingxing recovered successfully under Miss Joy's treatment.
The group of people who caused trouble last night were called by Miss Junsha for ideological education, and the fortune teller was taken away directly by Miss Junsha because of his fraudulent behavior.
In addition, at Hai Xingxing's repeated request, Heimer took him to the secret base where he once stored the various cloaks he collected.
Seeing his beloved cloak being ruthlessly destroyed, Hai Xingxing felt very helpless.
Upon seeing this, Heimer took out a red cloak bought from the store for use in performances from his bag. He then squatted beside Hai Xingxing and spoke to him gently.
Chi Haimo: "This is for you, the size should be suitable."
When Hai Xingxing saw the exquisite red cloak in Heimer's hand, she immediately jumped up happily.
I saw him excitedly putting on the cloak, standing on the high reef, and posing in various handsome ways.
Chi Haimo: "Yeah, very handsome, hahaha, don't tear other people's sails anymore."
Hai Xingxing: “Aiya!!”
Hearing what Heimer said, Hai Xingxing nodded to Heimer in assurance.
When Heimer saw that Hai Xingxing seemed to have recovered, he spoke to him with relief.
Chi Haimo: "Then I'm leaving, Hai Xingxing, hahaha, you look really handsome in a cape, well, I wish you all the best in the future, then, bye."
After Heimer finished speaking, he turned and left. Hai Xingxing looked at Heimer's back, then looked at the cloak on her back. For some reason, she seemed to have a sense of loneliness she had never felt before.
Just before Heimer's figure was about to disappear, Starfish jumped off the reef and jumped towards Heimer at an extremely fast speed.
Hai Xingxing: “Aiya!!!”
Hearing Hai Xingxing's cry, Heimer turned around in confusion and found that Hai Xingxing had followed him.
Chi Haimo: "What's wrong? Hai Xingxing?"
After hearing Heimer's question, Haixingxing immediately drew a Pokémon ball pattern on the beach, then pointed at Heimer and then at herself.
After seeing this scene, Heimer finally understood what Hai Xingxing meant.
Chi Haimo: "Do you want to go with me?"
Hai Xingxing: “Aiya!!!”
Faced with Hai Xingxing's answer, Heimer happily took out the Poké Ball and said.
Chi Haimo: "Well, then, come on!!"
As Heimer threw the Poké Ball, Starfish also jumped up immediately. The moment she touched the red button, her entire body turned into a red light and entered the Poké Ball.
The Poké Ball stopped immediately after shaking three times.
Finally, Heimer picked up the Pokémon Ball on the beach, gently shook off the sand on the ball, and said happily.
Chi Haimo: "Then please give me more advice from now on, Hai Xingxing."
