Chapter 25: The St. Annou
"Ahh However, he also knew that Xia You was joking, a way to get closer, so he also spread his hands, "Maybe it's because I have nine younger siblings to take care of, so I'm overworked." ”
"That's right." Ash asked, "Do you want to come with us to the port now?" ”
Xia You was puzzled: "What are you doing at the port?" ”
"Just now in the city center, someone gave us a ticket for a luxury cruise." Xiaoxia explained, "The person who gave the ticket said that there was going to be a luxurious trainer's banquet under the financing of a big chaebol, and there would be many people attending, which was very fun, and everything was free!" ”
"And such a good thing?" Xia You frowned and said, "How does it sound, it feels like a scam." ”
Seeing that Xia You didn't believe it, Ash took out a ferry ticket from his pocket.
"It's true, you see, this is the ticket for that cruise ship, and we've seen a lot of people on our way to the port."
"Even so..."Looking at the ticket, Xia You couldn't help asking, "But there is only one ticket, how are the three of you going to get there?" ”
Ash opened the ticket and let Xia You see the word 'group' on it.
"Hehe, this is a group ticket, you can go as many people as you want, if you want to go too, just come with us."
Xia You looked at the ticket carefully, on the front of it, there was a photo of a luxury cruise ship, and on the side, there was also a line of big characters - St. Annou.
The St. Anno?
Xia You was stunned, isn't this the famous shipwreck in the animation!?
Without seeing Xia You's hesitation, Ash was still there in an excited tone, gushing: "It's great to fight and communicate with trainers from different places, and to see many Pokémon that I haven't seen before!" ”
"That's right, that's right!" Xiao Gang nodded approvingly, thinking about it, "And there must be a lot of food there, as well as a beautiful big sister!" ”
Even Xiaoxia had a yearning in her eyes: "A leisurely boat trip, lying on the deck and sunbathing, it's very exciting to think about." ”
While the three of them were thinking about it, Xia You was thinking about another question in his heart.
If memory serves, shortly after the St. Annou set sail, it was attacked by Team Rocket, encountered a storm, and finally sank to the bottom of the sea under the ravages of huge waves.
A cruise ship with such a high cost will sink like that, and the loss of property will be at least billions...
However, Xia You thought about it, even if he kindly reminded him and warned him in advance, he was afraid that he would not be able to change its fate.
Since Team Rocket can infiltrate the St. Annu, they must have made thorough preparations, and if they intervene rashly without evidence, not only will they not attract the attention of the captain, but will cause Team Rocket to be alert, and even if it is too obvious, it will also attract the attention of the organizer of this banquet, that is, the boss behind Team Rocket, Sakaki!
As for that storm......
Although Xia You doesn't know much about things at sea, he will definitely pay attention to relevant meteorological information in advance when such a large cruise ship sails.
Since the captain was allowed to sail, it means that either Team Rocket suddenly changed the course of the cruise ship, or the huge storm that was enough to overturn the cruise ship was formed suddenly!
"Huh? Xia You, what are you thinking? Xiaoxia saw that Xia You was silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "How is it, do you want to go with us?" ”
Xia You nodded: "Of course we want to go together, I also want to see it." ”
As soon as they stepped into the port of Withered Leaf City, they saw many ships of different sizes docked on the shore, but the largest and most luxurious of them was the St. Annu.
The height of more than a dozen floors makes this behemoth the most well-deserved dazzling existence of the port.
The St. Annou is a world-famous luxury cruiser, and it is said that it docks once a year in the city of Withered Leaves, and then sails to other places for world cruises.
As Ash just said, there are indeed many trainers with their Pokémon who are checking tickets at the dock to board the ship.
And the closer you go, the more you can be shocked by this cruise ship.
"Wow, that's huge!" Xiaoxia raised her head, looked up, and let out an exclamation, "Are we going to take this ship to sea?" ”
However, just as Ash and the others were about to get on the boat, Xia You stopped them first.
"Wait a minute, I'll buy something first."
With that, he walked to a nearby diving goods store and picked for a long time before buying a pair of diving goggles and a simple breathing apparatus from it.
It's so expensive......
After buying these two things, only half of the savings he had saved through his part-time job were left.
Seeing Xia You pay and put them into his backpack with a heavy face, Xiao Zhi was curious: "What are you buying these things for?" ”
"I'm not very good at water, these things, I can't use them at any time."
For Xiao Zhi and the others, Xia You did not choose to tell them the truth, after all, it is something that has never happened, and for many considerations, these people have their own luck and can always turn the danger into a disaster, even if the St. Annus really sinks, there must be a way to get out.
Queue, check-in, boarding.
When Xia You and the others climbed the gangway, crossed the deck, and came to a glorious hall.
The hall is high and wide, with a large space, with golden decorations and countless crystal chandeliers, you can see that it is already full of all kinds of tourists, and on the red carpet, there are long tables with rich food for people to taste at any time.
Xia You walked into the crowd and looked left and right.
Whether it is acquaintance or first acquaintance, people are enthusiastically communicating with each other, talking about their own travel stories, talking about the Pokémon in their hands, everyone's face is full of smiles, and it seems that they are very satisfied with this cruise ship.
On both sides of the hall, there are also vendors selling all kinds of goods.
From earrings and earrings to figurines to Pokémon dolls, everything is available, and the sounds of conversation, shouting and bargaining are endless.
But to say that the most attention-grabbing thing is the Pokémon battle being held in the center of the hall at this time, under the observation of layers of onlookers.
The battle was organized by the travelers themselves, and the trainers on both sides were a middle-aged man in a suit and a teenager in a green shirt.
And their Pokémon is a small Lada, fighting against the jewel starfish.
