Chapter 386 Exploration and the Island
Chapter 386 Exploration and the Island
Gengar used Substitute to enter the spatial passage before Ghost Sea and made sure there was no danger on the other side before letting Ghost Sea and the others pass through.
Rotom maneuvered his Iron Man suit and walked straight through the spatial portal in front of him.
Gui Hai felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery immediately changed.
Azure sea and sky, fresh air.
His sudden appearance startled the Pokémon that were foraging nearby, and they scattered in all directions.
Ghost Sea glanced around and immediately spotted a variety of familiar Pokémon.
Goldfish, Black Seahorse, Jewel Starfish, and Magikarp, which can exist wherever there is water.
There was not a trace of human presence anywhere in sight.
There was only a small black dot at the edge of the field of vision, which seemed to be a small island.
After passing through the space passage, Sun and Moon Champion and Zhang Ruo found themselves unexpectedly in an ocean. Luckily, they reacted quickly enough, or they would have fallen into the sea.
The two straddled the flying Pokémon, looked around, and removed their oxygen masks.
"It's not much different from the environment we live in."
"The instrument did not detect any special components."
Gui Hai watched the two of them fiddling around for a while, transmitting the data back to the Alliance. Once they were done, he pointed to the small island and said, "Let's go take a look."
"it is good."
Three figures swiftly swept across the sea.
As they got closer to the Ghost Sea, they gradually saw the situation on the small island more clearly.
Although it's called a small island, it's actually quite large, about the size of a dozen standard football fields.
The island is covered with lush vegetation, but Ghost Sea still saw various traces of human life along the edge of the island.
For example, embers from a campfire, moored boats, and various discarded items.
"It seems that there are humans living in this space."
Sun and Moon Champion and Heavenly King Zhang Ruo also saw those traces using a telescope.
His tone was somewhat strange; it was hard to tell whether he was happy or disappointed.
However, as they got closer, the three of them gradually felt a powerful aura locking onto them.
This aura is roughly equivalent to that of a Champion Pokémon; it's very powerful, but there's no particular hostility. It's just a sense of caution and warning when entering Pokémon territory.
The three men immediately slowed down to indicate that they meant no harm.
Ghost Sea also sent out a diplomatic little ghost—Geng—to ingratiate himself and explain his purpose.
Although the powerful Pokémon did not appear, this was no problem for Gengar, the chubby little guy.
It noticed the anomaly with just a glance at the small island in front of it, then let out a loud, eerie laugh and poured handfuls of energy cubes into it.
While sprinkling the water, he muttered something, leaving the Iron Man suit-clad Ghost Sea utterly speechless.
The Sun & Moon champions and Zhang Ruotianwang couldn't understand what Gengar from Ghost Sea was saying, but they could clearly sense that the powerful Pokémon had weakened its aura.
He looked at Guihai with curiosity, his eyes filled with doubt.
Guihai opened his mouth, but he couldn't very well say that his Gengar was there to offer warmth and that he had to take care of them as long as they recognized Gengar as their big brother, could he?
After a long silence, Guihai finally said, "It's nothing, it's just that Gengar invited the Pokémon on the island to accept us."
Although Sun Moon Champion and Zhang Ruo withdrew their gazes, Gui Hai clearly saw the doubt in their eyes.
Before he could continue his argument, things changed again on the island.
Originally, with Gengar's gift clearing the way, the various Pokémon on the island no longer guarded against Gengar and his companions, and even looked forward to more Energy Cubes falling from the sky.
However, as a group of humans appeared, the Pokémon that had been waiting with their mouths open for Gengar to feed them scattered.
The Pokémon that warned Guihai and his group has also disappeared, seemingly unwilling to make contact with the humans on the island.
"Who are you people, and what brings you here?"
The humans on the island looked no different from the humans Guihai had seen over the years, except that their skin was slightly darker and they were more robust.
This is due to geographical factors and is not considered unique.
These people speak the same language as those outside the city.
If it weren't for the obvious difference between their clothing and the outside world, Gui Hai would have thought this was a stronghold occupied by some terrorist organization.
Although Guihai was the first to enter, this place is, after all, within the territory of the Sun and Moon Alliance.
The champion of Sun and Moon is still here, so naturally this champion should come forward.
“We came from outside and discovered the spatial passage to enter this place, so we came in to explore. We have no ill intentions.”
The champion lowered the flying Pokémon's altitude, speaking gently and smiling as he looked at the island's native, demonstrating his attitude.
The two on the island exchanged glances, both seeing confusion and surprise in each other's eyes.
"The outside world? You're from the mainland? Where is the mainland?"
The middle-aged man at the front of all the islanders looked at the Sun and Moon Champion with eager curiosity and asked.
The three members of the Ghost Sea exchanged glances; there was a lot of information in those words.
It is clear that these people do not know what the outside world means, that is, they do not know that they actually live in a very small fragment of space.
However, they still know that continents exist in this world, and they are still searching for the location of these continents.
This makes the origins of these people somewhat worthy of investigation.
Ghost Sea wasn't there for archaeology, and even the Sun and Moon Champions couldn't remain silent in front of the islanders.
Then the champion of Sun and Moon continued, "We do indeed come from the Sun and Moon Continent. Do you know of the continent's existence?"
The islanders looked at each other again: "Have you ever heard of the Sun and Moon Continent?"
The islanders all shook their heads.
The leader then looked at the Sun and Moon Champion: "We've never heard of any Sun and Moon Continent, we're talking about the Origin Continent."
Sun and Moon Champion paused for a moment, then realized that the continent he was on was a 'pieced together' creation of Regigigas, so it was normal that these people didn't know.
But if these people know about the Origin Continent, then things become simple.
“The Origin Continent does exist, but it’s not my homeland. Since you know about the Origin Continent, then we should be humans from the same world. How come you’re here?”
The islanders fell silent upon hearing this.
Just as the Sun and Moon Champion thought he had touched a nerve with these people and was about to change the subject, the leader of these people suddenly said, "Come with us, we're going back to see the village chief."
The other islanders did not object and watched as Gui Hai and his two companions landed on the island.
As soon as Zhang Ruogang landed, he immediately greeted these people with a smile, showing his goodwill.
Guihai glanced at the chubby Gengar.
Gengar immediately understood and disappeared from the spot, its whereabouts unknown.
Zoroark emerged from the shadow of the Ghost Sea and stood in the way of the islanders who wanted to approach it, lest they be traumatized by the Ghost Sea.
Just after everyone left.
A small figure suddenly appeared where Gui Hai and the other two had just been.
Its figure exudes a solid aura, and its eyes, unlike those of other Pokémon, are not clear but rather convey a sense of maturity and wisdom.
"Chirp chirp..."
