On the sea, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang, who surfaced before Xia You, had already found several ship planks and spliced them together to form a simple foothold.
Seeing Xia You and others showing up, he hurriedly reached out and pulled them out of the sea.
"Finally saved!"
Kojiro lay on his back on the middle of the boat, soaked to the skin, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling as if he had walked in front of the Santu River.
Xia You also took off his diving goggles, untied the rope, released Meowth, and at the same time took Magikarp back into the Poké Ball.
Under the warm sun, the surroundings were calm, and there were debris floating up from the Saint-Annu everywhere, but besides them, not even a single person could be seen.
Xiaogang looked around with his squinted eyes and said disappointedly: "It seems that all those who escaped in the lifeboat have left here."
"Then what should we do next?" As soon as Xiaozhi said this, he found that Xiaoxia was sitting on her knees with her back to everyone, with two groups of crimson on her face.
"Strange, what's wrong with you, Xiaoxia?"
Xiaoxia stood up quickly and shook her head.
"It's nothing, I just took a sip of water and felt a little uncomfortable."
She wanted to force herself to calm down, but her eyes couldn't help but wander back and forth between the respirator in Xia You's hand and the corners of his mouth. For a moment, her face turned even redder.
Walking up to Xia You, she changed her usual lively and arrogant attitude and whispered in a low voice: "Thank you so much just now."
Xia You naturally understood what she meant.
But the situation was urgent at that time, so he couldn't care about anything else. Of course, his main priority was to save people.
"You don't need to take that matter to heart." Xia You coughed slightly, but felt that he was a little overwhelmed, so he said no more and turned his head to Xiaozhi, "Xiaozhi, send out your Bibi Bird and let it Take a walk around and see if there are any passing ships or islands."
Xiaozhi released the Bibi bird and gave the order. It circled above everyone's heads twice, seemed to have found the right direction, and then flapped its wings and flew into the distance.
It didn't take long. When Bibi returned, it seemed to have made a discovery. It landed on Xiaozhi's shoulder and kept making gestures with its wings.
As a Pokémon that can speak human language, Meowth now acts as a translator.
"It says there is a port town not far ahead!"
Hearing the word "port", everyone cheered up and commanded the water Pokémon to swim towards the town...
…
Maiden Gorge is a port town located between Kuye City and Golden City.
However, although the place is small, this town is very prosperous. Not only does it have a large population, but also because it has a natural harbor and is located on an important transportation thoroughfare, many ships pass through it every day, making it very lively.
After rowing to the port, as soon as Xia You and the others stepped onto the delicate beach, Team Rocket's trio instantly regained their energy.
I saw that they had brought two roses from nowhere and stood back to back.
Gently smelling the fragrance of the rose, Musashi snorted: "Now that we are here, it's time for us to say goodbye!"
"That's right!" Kojiro said coolly, holding another rose in his mouth, "Although we are very grateful to you for saving us, we will not show mercy until we meet next time!"
"That's it, meow~"
After saying that, amid a burst of wild laughter, they turned around and ran towards a huge rock on the beach and disappeared.
"I really can't stand them!" Xiaoxia sighed, "But I don't have the energy to care about them now. It's so uncomfortable to be wet all over. I really want to take a hot bath now, and then Have a nice sleep!"
In fact, it's not just Xiaoxia, even Xia You is exhausted now after all this trouble.
"Then let's go to the Pokémon Center and rest quickly."
Xia You tightened his backpack and was about to walk forward when suddenly a strange feeling arose in his heart. He turned his head and looked at a small pier in the distance. He saw a man in a white dress with long pink-purple hair. The woman with hair was standing there quietly.
The breeze blew, carrying a strand of her hair, revealing the profile of her face, delicate and beautiful.
But for some reason, there was a faint sadness that lingered around her for a long time.
Xiaogang on the side seemed to also see this woman. His eyes turned into heart shapes and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"What a beautiful woman!"
Hearing the sound, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia looked into the distance, but saw nothing.
"What are you looking at?" Xiaoxia asked curiously, "There is nothing there!"
Xia You blinked, but in a daze, the woman's figure disappeared!
They went along the way and waited for a few people to arrive at the Pokémon Center. After checking in, Xia You also learned from Miss Joy where they were now.
Maiden Gorge?
The soul of a beautiful woman and the ghost...
Thinking of the plot related to the animation, Xia You couldn't help but smile. It turned out that they had arrived here unknowingly.
"By the way." Miss Joy smiled, "You came at the right time. This town is currently holding a summer festival. There are not only grand parades, but also bonfire parties and a lot of snacks. If you can If so, don’t miss it~”
For this kind of activity, Xiaoxia, a girl, and Xiaozhi, who has a young mind, naturally yearn for this kind of activity. However, their physical strength has reached the limit. After discussing the gathering time, they returned to their rooms to rest.
In fact, as a public building with free food and accommodation, the accommodation environment of the Pokémon Center has always been different depending on the region.
Just like the Maiden Gap where they are now, because the town is not big, the Pokémon Center is not very large. As far as the boys' dormitory is concerned, it is just a clean small room with two bunk beds. .
But to Xia You, the white sheets seemed to have extremely strong magical powers, making him want to throw himself on them.
But despite this, he still resisted his sleepiness, took a quick shower, threw his clothes into the dryer, and then fell on the bed, unable to sleep.
The sun was setting in the west, and he slept until dusk before he sat up from the bed drowsily.
Seeing that Xiaozhi and Xiaogang were still sleeping soundly, he shook them awake and knocked on Xiaoxia's door. They reunited and left the Pokémon Center together.
At this time, the entire town was completely enveloped in the joy of the festival.
Countless people in costumes followed the floats and walked through the town. Amidst the laughter and laughter, whether they were the residents of the town or tourists like Xia You, people's moods also became happy. many.
