Chapter XVIII Embarkation
The ticket for Ash and the others was a ticket to a medium-sized cruise ship in the Gold City at noon. It's still early, and it's still a faint morning light outside.
Maybe he also knew that Ash and the others were going to leave at noon, and Mr. Wataru, who had made an appointment yesterday to bring something to Ash, also appeared at the Pokémon Center early.
Since he had taken off his usual almost iconic cloak and put on his sunglasses, the trainers who didn't usually know each other could recognize that the person sitting in the corner was Mr. Wataru, one of the four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance, saving him a lot of trouble.
Considering that Wataru's first Pokémon is also a fire-attribute little fire dragon, Ash has been listening attentively to Mr. Wataru explaining the skills of taking care of the little fire dragon and cultivating the little fire dragon for a long time.
He even took out the thick book on cultivating Pokémon of the Little Fire Dragon series and asked questions about all the things he didn't understand. That kind of enthusiasm made Xiao Gang, who was also listening attentively to explain the problem on the side, sigh to himself.
Because Sika is about to reach adolescence, the increase of the waveguide begins to slow down suddenly, and his body begins to become lethargic, and he is still sleeping in Xiaoxia's arms.
Xiaoxia just accompanied the two of them to "class", although she was also listening, but obviously not as serious as Xiaozhi and Xiaogang. However, when Du accidentally extended the cultivation to Mo Haima, Tyrannosaurus and other aspects, Xiaoxia immediately joined the ranks of concentrating on listening to the class.
So there was a strange situation in this corner where three juniors caught a senior concentrating on class. Later, a few trainers were attracted bits and pieces, but it was obvious that Wataru was a bit esoteric and messy, and there were many proper nouns, and a few trainers who didn't understand it didn't pay much attention.
In fact, if Ash pays attention to his own situation, he will find that before he knows it, he has already walked out of the way on the path of the trainer, surpassing many pedestrians.
Time flies quickly in the lecture, and it is clear that there is something to be done without transitioning, and after explaining in detail about the Little Fire Dragon series and several Pokémon of similar lines, I will not continue to talk about it.
He took out a small black notebook and a notebook from his satchel and gave them to Ash, telling him that this was what Dr. Oki had asked him to get from the Alliance, and told him to cherish it and got up to leave.
After sending Mr. Du away, Ash and the others went to the restaurant to buy some food, and returned to this corner, only then did they open the small book and notebook.
"Pokémon League Accident and Special Events Prosecutor, Ash?"
Xiao Xia pointed to the black document with Ash's photo on it in surprise, and said in surprise:
"It's... Ash, you're actually a Pokémon League certified incident prosecutor? ”
"Huh? What the? What prosecutors? ”
Xiao Zhi was confused, took the black document in Xiao Xia's hand, opened it, and saw that a long list of titles on the black document was printed next to his photo, with the number, name, age and other information written below, as well as a personal profile.
And that long list of titles is "Official Incident and Special Events Prosecutor of the Pokémon Alliance Events Department".
Below is the certification date, Ash glanced at the date a few times and found that it was yesterday's date.
“... This certificate is given to Ash, an official Pokémon Alliance Certified Trainer, to invite any Pokémon Alliance member, as well as citizens of the jurisdiction, to unconditionally submit to the prosecutor's investigation activities during the course of their work. ”
“... Mr. Wataru has been saying that he is testing you before, is this because of this? ”
Xiao Gang leaned over to take a look, and then opened the notebook in his hand. However, after seeing the paper under the title page of the notebook, he handed it to Ash: "This is also for you, Ash." It was given to you by Dr. Ohki. ”
"Huh?"
Ash put down the ID in his hand, took the notebook that Xiao Gang handed over, and took the small note under the title page and looked at it.
"This is a notebook about a Bodao warrior in the Sinnoh region before he disappeared, and I deliberately searched for it from the study for a long time, so I need to use it properly, Ash. - Dr. Ohki..."
Placing the note on the table for the time being, he raised his legs to carefully protect the egg, and only then did he pick it up and take a cursory look at it.
"Hmm... We'll talk about that later, but let's go to dinner first. We're going to get on the boat in a while, and we're going to get there soon, and we haven't eaten yet..."
Looking at the drunken Sika sleeping in Xiaoxia's arms, Ash suddenly remembered the problem of time, and Xiaoxia on the side glanced at the watch on her wrist and was even more panicked:
"We only have an hour left, it's an hour's walk from here to the port we're going to, and the city bus changes every two hours, and the one we have to catch has just left, plus 15 minutes for ticket checking, 15 minutes for identity verification..."
"In that case, I'm going to clean up my room first, I've been wandering around the Dead Leaves Market for a long time yesterday, and I've been asleep since I got back..."
"Anyway, hurry, hurry!"
...
The sun at noon is not very warm, and the breeze is still very comfortable. Because of the climate, the temperature doesn't get cold even late at night.
Holding the egg of the little fire dragon, Xiao Zhi Xiaoxia and Xiao Gang ran all the way, and finally caught up with the boat they were going to take without danger when the ticket was almost the last few people.
"It's really dangerous..."
Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang gasped for breath, sweating profusely, while Xiao Zhi, who was holding the egg and also carrying a backpack, was unexpectedly only covered with a thin layer on his head, and he didn't breathe, as if he had walked a few steps faster.
He was still staring at his hands in a daze, as if even he hadn't figured out what was going on.
"Please show your ticket."
At this time, the ticket inspector just checked the tickets of the person in front of him, and now it was the turn of Ash and the others. The three men each showed their tickets and boarded the boat.
The ladder is erected directly on the deck, more than ten meters above the ground, but such a cruise ship can only be regarded as a medium-sized cruise ship in Withered Leaf City, which can't help but make Ash imagine how huge and imposing the real big cruise ship should be.
From the wide deck, the white-based decorations create an atmosphere.
And people come and go.
The travelers got together to talk about the world, and many trainers followed their respective Pokémon, exchanging their experiences, the story of the journey or something, Ash sighed with relief, and found a place to stay for a while.
After a while, I'll have to verify my identity one by one.
