Chapter Twenty-Six: Hinoki Town, the Well of the Dumb Beast?
"Okay~ It's so hot!" After saying goodbye to Muramasa and his son, Peng and Xiaoying came to the vicinity of the second gym - Hinoki Town. It was a very hot day, and the sun had no intention of resting.
"The fields around here are all withered, and it looks like it hasn't rained for a long time!" Xiao Ying looked at the dry fields nearby and said, "Well, I'm almost dead, how nice it would be to have a little water at this time!" "By the way, you can use the Blastoise~" Xiao Ying ordered: "Blastoise, use the water cannon to help Ah Peng take a shower! Be light~" Before the words were finished, a powerful water column directly hit Ah Peng on the rock behind him, "How can I end up with Xiao Zhi!" Ah Peng complained in his heart.
"I'm sorry, Peng. Blastoise didn't mean it, so forgive it. Xiao Ying apologized to Ah Peng with a smile on her face, but Ah Peng didn't care, she just wanted to give the GS ball to Mr. Steel as soon as possible and go to the gym match. As he walked, Peng saw a road sign. It reads: Due to the continuous drought, water supply restrictions have been implemented, and government offices, schools, and Pokémon Gyms have all been closed. "Alas, it looks like the Gym Tournament will take a while, so we have to hurry up and get the GS ball. Xiao Ying, let's go!" After saying that, Ah Peng took Xiao Ying's hand and didn't take a few steps, Ah Peng only felt that he had stepped on something under his feet, and he looked at it calmly, it was a dumb beast!
"You~" The stomped-on dumb beast shouted from behind, "Do you only feel pain now? It's really a 'dumb beast'!" Ah Peng just finished speaking, "He just bullied the dumb beast god!" A boy's voice sounded, and Ah Peng shouted terrible! Just about to leave with Xiaoying, the people around him surrounded the road in front of him, "No, I didn't mean it just now!" Ah Peng hurriedly defended. "Arrest them!" "Send them to the police station!" "Spank a hundred butts!" All kinds of punishments came out, Ah Peng didn't say a word, pulled Xiaoying and ran back, and the people behind chased after him step by step, "Stop!" "Don't let them run!"
"I can't run, Peng!" Xiao Ying stopped suddenly, "That's not good, they're about to catch up!" Peng was in a hurry, and suddenly the arm of the Dumb Beast came out of the grass, "Quick, put on this!" The "Dumb Beast" said and took out two of the Dumb Beast's costumes, "Look at Ah Peng! There's another one!" Xiao Ying said in a panic. "Let's go over!" Ah Peng followed before he could explain to Xiao Ying. As soon as he put on the costume of the Dumb Beast, the crowd behind followed, "Where?" "Not here?" "It's too hot, I won't let them go next time!" After leaving these few words, the crowd dispersed.
"Finally gone, I thought I was going to be killed! Thank you anyway!" Ah Peng said with a lost sigh. "In this place, the Dumb Beast is like a god. The man who had made the dumb beast said. "Why do you want to think of it as a god?" Xiao Ying immediately had a question.
The man cleared his throat and said, "A long time ago, there was a drought as severe as it is now, and that was about 400 years ago. It didn't rain every day, the sun was so big and poisonous that the whole place was about to be dried, and on that day, there was a dumb beast, and the stupid beast happened to yawn a lot, and the sky was immediately covered with dark clouds, and it rained heavily, saving the local water crisis, and since then the people of this place have worshiped the stupid beast like a god. ”
"Oh, yes, but then again, the way the Nerd Beast uses the rain is really special, it's yawning, I thought you were talking about yawning skills at first. Ah Peng replied with a smile after listening. "No, it's not an ordinary prayer for rain, it's a more powerful prayer for rain!Although this skill is not available in the Pokémon profile now, it does exist, because the rain lasted for an hour, and it is impossible for an ordinary rain prayer trick to last that long!" the man in the Dumbbeast costume immediately retorted.
"I see, all in all. It would be fine if the weather here returned to normal, right?" Peng said suddenly. "Do you have a way to make it rain?" the man asked. "Okay, now I'll go back to the people to settle this matter, Xiao Ying, wait for me here!" Ah Peng finished and took off the costume of the dumb beast, "Wait!Ah Peng, what can you do?" Xiao Ying immediately stopped Ah Peng, "Ah Peng, could it be that you are the last Kanto Alliance champion Shen Zhipeng?" The person on the other side was shocked.
Peng smiled, "Yes, so trust me, Mr. Steel!"
"What, this person is the Mr. Steel we're looking for?" Xiao Ying said in surprise. "Shen Zhipeng, how did you recognize me? We haven't met before!" Steel was also surprised, "I'll talk about this later, anyway, Xiao Ying will ask you!" After Ah Peng finished speaking, he ran towards the town, Xiao Ying wanted to stop Ah Peng again, but when she thought that Ah Peng always had some strange ideas, she didn't worry anymore.
On the other hand, when Ah Peng arrived in the town, he was immediately surrounded by the crowd.
"It's you! I didn't expect you to dare to come back!" "Catch him!" "Take him to the police station!" The crowd began to stir. "Wait a minute!" Peng shouted, stopping the crowd. "If I can make it rain, then the things that are not worth mentioning just now can be wiped out!" After Ah Peng finished speaking, people began to whisper again, and then an old man who seemed to be experienced walked out, "If you can restore the weather, not only can you erase the matter just now, but you can take everything in our town as you like!"
Ah Peng shook his head and said, "Alas, I wanted to help you, but was it so insincere?" One of them whispered a few words to the old man, and then the old man cleared his throat and said, "Please remove the drought for us, we will be grateful!" After saying that, the crowd knelt down. (PS: In Japan, kneeling is a sign of politeness, not punishment or shame)
"Well, now tell me where the water level is high here?" Ah Peng asked a question that confused everyone, and then after being guided, Ah Peng found a place with a higher water level, at this time Xiao Ying and Gang also rushed over, Ah Peng seemed to remember something and walked in front of Xiao Ying. "Please, lend me the Blastoise!I'll explain it to you later!" Although Xiao Ying didn't quite understand, she still called the Blastoise's treasure ball to Ah Peng.
Peng ran to a higher place, and then ran out of two Poké Balls, one was the Poké Ball that Xiao Ying had just asked Xiao Ying to borrow, and the other was an insulated ball with a yellow pattern, and then, a big yellow bird flew in the air
