Pokémon Memories and Journeys

"After 2000 years of waiting, I couldn't wait for the ship to return to Hong Kong. More than 2000 years ago, there was a girl with peerless appearance. This girl was infatuated with her lover. Although the girl was gifted with looks, she was not Given a good destiny, the girl's lover went out with the army. The girl has been waiting for her lover's return. The girl looked at the sea that will never end, waiting endlessly at the seaside. In the end, she The beautiful body turned into a stone statue. But the girl lost her humanity due to the long wait and turned into a hungry ghost, wandering in the Girl's Gorge forever."

""

"What the hell?" Lilith threw the travel guide aside. "This story is too bloody. It is also called the top ten unsolved mysteries of Kanto."

Lilith was dragged onto the communication ship by Chi early in the morning. Fortunately, they did not miss the ship. However, Xiaozhi and the others were not so lucky.In order to pass the time, Lilith picked up a book and periodical, and it turned out that the introduction happened to be about a destination where the ship would dock next.

""

"At first glance, it seems that the editor wants to make money and deliberately adds a sense of mystery to attract tourists. Are you right?"

"You don't believe in ghosts"

"That's not true. It's just that I don't believe there are gods in this world." Lilith paused for a moment, "Although it's not that I don't believe in ghosts, the ghost of Maiden Gap is too fake, okay?"

"some"

"What are you saying? Do you mean there is lunch included on this ship?"

Chi reluctantly pulled Lilith's head back: "Ghost"

"Ha" Lilith opened her mouth wide, "Aka, you are so naive. Now this kind of legend can't even be deceived by elementary school students."

""Chi didn't speak, but his expression was very serious.

Lilith picked up the book suspiciously and read the following content: "Every summer at the end of summer, a summer festival will be held at the Maiden Gorge Port. At the festival, tourists from all over the world will come here, so when summer comes, People in this place become busy. The festival will continue until the end of the Ghost Festival, and a dance competition will be held on the night of the end of the Ghost Festival. It is said that the ghost of the girl will appear on the night when the festival ends. The ghost will blend in with the crowd to find her lover who has been waiting for thousands of years."

"Yeah." The content of this book is similar to what Chi knows.

"It's really true." Lilith put down the book gently and looked straight ahead with an expression of disbelief, as if she saw something that shouldn't be there.

"" Chi frowned.

"It's really true." Lilith grabbed Chi's sleeve, her eyes empty as if she saw a ghost.

"where"

"In Maiden Gorge"

""

"That's what I'm talking about." Lilith pointed to a picture of a temple fair printed on the book. "Wherever there is a temple fair, there is a temple fair. It's the kind of temple fair where people wear yukata, there are many stalls, and there are fireworks displays at the end." Today is still the last day to hold the celebration.”

""

Lilith's eyes shone: "Go to Maiden's Gorge"

"Detour"

There was a huge flow of people in the temple fair. There were couples in yukata and paranormal enthusiasts with cameras coming and going. You could vaguely hear the cheerful music from the temple fair.Zai leaned on the torii pillar leading to the temple fair with his hands folded and his eyes closed to meditate. He didn't like the noisy environment.

Just now on the boat, he still couldn't resist Lilith's insistence, so he could only agree to bring Lilith to this festival in Maiden Gorge.It's not that Chi can't be determined, it's just that Lilith is so good at acting that if Lilith doesn't agree to her, she'll cry every second, and even the other passengers on the boat are pointing their fingers at Chi.So Lilith's plan was a complete success and she came to the Maiden Gorge where the legendary ghost appeared.

After arriving at Maiden Canyon, Lilith left Chi alone.Why is it because Lilith has to put on the bathrobe that Anna prepared for her before? In Lilith's words, "Have you ever seen someone wearing clogs instead of running shoes when traveling? So clothes like yukata, except at temple fairs, Where else can I wear it?"

Chi naturally had nothing to say, but he was also a little puzzled that no one would bring such clothes when traveling.Forget about changing clothes, but Lilith has been changing clothes for more than an hour now

"Young man, you are waiting for someone." An old woman with a cane walked out of the shadows.

"" Chi looked at the old woman, wearing an old-fashioned kimono with a wrinkled face and a cold smile. If she were not in such a lively place, maybe this old woman would be considered a "ghost mother-in-law."

"Look, I'm just waiting for someone." The old woman smiled coldly, "And she's waiting for a girl."

""

"Today is the Ghost Festival, so it's not strange to encounter anything. Don't blame me, old lady, for not reminding you. Pay attention to the people around you. If you get lost, it's hard to find them with so many people at the temple fair. "The old woman walked into the temple fair with a sinister smile and disappeared in the crowd.I don’t know if it was overwhelmed by the crowd or if it really disappeared.

""Chi didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

The old woman walked towards the cliff in the darkness, the sea breeze was cold and cold.The deep sea seemed to be roaring with resentment, and the sound of the sea wind echoed around the cliff like the howling of ghosts and wolves.The old woman's body became lighter and lighter, and the cracked smile at the corner of her mouth became deeper and deeper.Walk slowly towards the statue on the cliff.The statue depicts a beautiful girl praying. Just like the legend, even if she turns into stone, she cannot hide the beauty of the girl.

The human body was beyond recognition and turned into a ball of purple light.Finally, its ghost prototype was revealed.The ghost stopped at the statue of the girl.

There is another shadow behind the stone statue. If you look closely, this person looks exactly like the stone statue.The only difference was the overflowing resentment in the girl's eyes.

"You're here." The girl turned her head, but her suspended body stood on the ground, her white dress fluttering in the sea breeze.She is the ghost of the legendary Maiden Gorge.

"It's been 2000 years, aren't you ready to let go?" It was this ghost who spoke.

"Don't worry Guisi, this will all be over soon. He will be back soon." The girl's resentment faded slightly as she thought of this.

"If you were not that person's lover, I wouldn't have helped you in 2000. You can think about how much blood your hands were stained. The fact that you became an injustice cannot be changed. To be honest, I really don't want to help. you."

The girl suddenly became anxious: "No, you must help me. This is the last time. This is already the 2000th year. In the last year, as long as today is successful, he and I can meet."

"Hmph. I've told you before, be careful not to lose anything when you make a deal with that devil Giratina."

"Ghost, how can you say that? How could Lord Pluto Dragon not abide by the agreement? It promised me that as long as I stay in Maiden Gorge for 2000 years, and dedicate a soul to Lord Pluto Dragon every year on the Ghost Festival, Lord Pluto Dragon will give him a gift. Resurrection from the dead.”

"You dare to say it. Of the two thousand souls that have died under your hands and mine, 2000 have died. Be careful that you yourself are also devoured."

"I can't control so many ghosts anymore. As long as we get through tonight, I will give you your freedom."

"Have you finally come to the end after watching the scenery of 2000?" Guisi looked at the girl fooling around and sighed firmly, "Whatever you want."

"Thank you, Ghost." The girl ghost smiled.

"So who do you want me to be this time to create the illusion of an unintentional death?"

"It's the girl you just hypnotized. As expected, this was all arranged by Lord Pluto Dragon. Lord Pluto Dragon asked me to dedicate a pure black soul in my final year. I didn't expect that this girl who got lost and stumbled here has exactly what she needs. Such quality.”

"That's what you said." Guisi looked at the sleeping girl lying under the stone statue.That girl is Lilith, "Hey, are you sure you want to extract her soul? You understand, her soul is stronger than the two of us combined."

"Right, this is the best pure black soul. Master Pluto Dragon will definitely praise me."

"Do you know what you are doing? Although your soul has been tempered for 2000 years, it is no problem to swallow the souls of 1999 ordinary people before. But this girl, she is enough to make you disappear."

"There is no need to worry about this. She looks like an ordinary trainer, so what if she has a powerful soul? Besides, I have completed the preparations for the memorial ceremony. What is more troublesome now is that this sacrifice has a companion. I need you to become her and lure away her companions. Just make up a random reason for your death and you will be free."

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you this time."

"Guisi, I'm at the end of my rope. Do you think it's possible for me to find another pure black soul in such a short period of time?"

"Her companions are not ordinary people and are at great risk. Stop it, so many people have died."

"It's impossible for me to give up. I'm willing to do anything for him. I'm about to succeed. How can I give up? Guisi, this is an order."

Ghost gritted his teeth. He could not resist the girl's order: "Don't regret it." Then he disappeared in this space.

The girl ghost looked at Lilith who was still awake on the ground and clenched her fists: "Ghost, this is really the last time. I will be able to meet him soon."

Chi lowered the brim of his hat, unable to see his expression.Suddenly he heard something and turned his head.A pair of clogs appeared in front of him.The noisy crowd did not affect Chi's analysis of the footsteps.The clogs made a clicking sound when they touched the ground, and finally stopped in front of Chi.

""Chi's gaze moved upward little by little, and it was indeed Lilith's face.However, Chi's eyes were full of coldness.

"Long waiting." The girl said with a light blush on her face.The light yellow coat has a soft luster, and the broad sleeves are printed with rabbit patterns.The temples drooped slightly, and the rest of the hair was tied back.The kimono suits Lilith very well, and the dazzling lights bring out Lilith's delicate facial features.

"Um"

"Let's go." Lilith was no longer noisy as usual, and became extremely dignified and generous.Every movement is appropriate and appropriate, and the behavior of a lady is completely reflected in her body.Lilith suddenly changed her appearance, as if she really was a different person.

""Such a girl should have been welcomed by the opposite sex, but Chi's face became increasingly gloomy.

Lilith on the other side moved her eyebrows.Her head hurt as if she was drunk. Lilith held her dizzy head and sat up.Looking around, there was a place she didn't recognize. A big wave crashed and made a huge noise, which scared Lilith.

Lilith shook her head, trying to wake herself up.It took her a moment to realize that she was on the edge of a cliff, with the statue of a girl next to her.

"Damn, I keep falling asleep for no reason lately, and then I go to a strange place. Am I suffering from sleepwalking?"

"You're awake." The girl's ethereal figure came from nearby.The girl's ghost floated in front of Lilith.

Lilith glanced at the ghost.Suddenly she stood up and remembered something, "It's been so long. Isn't Chi tired of waiting?" Apparently she ignored such a living ghost.

"You" Lilith's behavior obviously aroused the girl ghost's anger, "Do you know who I am?"

Only then did Lilith really look at the girl ghost: "Well, there is only one ghost in Maiden Gap." And if she guessed correctly, it was this ghost that knocked her out, so Lilith didn't have a good impression of her.

"It's very arrogant. This is how you behave when facing a ghost." The girl ghost became even more domineering.

Lilith glanced at her. Although she looked good, her temper was too bad.Lilith didn't bother to answer: "Sorry, I have something else to do and can't stay here."

Lilith patted the dust on her body and frowned. The bathrobe she had just put on was dirty.Lilith thought about leaving and not caring so much for the time being, but the girl ghost rushed over and stopped in front of Lilith: "You can't leave yet."

Lilith sighed: "Beautiful Miss Ghost, although I am only slightly interested in you. But I still have to meet my friends now, and I really don't have time."

"Do you think you can just leave this place?" The ghost smiled proudly.

"What do you mean"

"Haha, besides, you don't have to worry about your friend. Because he has already seen you. Arrogant person."

"Miss Ghost, is your mind a little abnormal?"

"Don't you understand yet? Let me tell you simply. My Pokémon has turned into your appearance and will go to your friends instead of you. And soon you will die in an accident."

"Someone took my place." Lilith's face suddenly turned gloomy. She couldn't pretend she hadn't heard this.

Lilith directly penetrated the body of the girl ghost and walked in the direction of the light on the opposite side.But just when she wanted to leave this shadow area, she immediately ran into an invisible wall.Rather than a wall, it was more like countless ropes binding her hands and feet, preventing her from taking another step forward.

The girl ghost smiled even more proudly: "You run away, keep running away. You will never be able to escape from this place."

A powerful force bounced Lilith back, and Lilith was pushed to the ground by this force.Lilith glared at the girl ghost fiercely: "What did you do?"

The aura emanating from Lilith caused the girl ghost to step back some distance.The girl ghost was shocked at first, and then laughed crazily: "Ha, hahaha, you are indeed a pure black soul. What I am looking for is you. Your soul must be enough to exchange for him."

"Get me out of this hellish place." Lilith didn't want news of her inexplicable death to spread to the outside world.

"This is impossible. There are powerful knots all around here, and even the 2000-year-old me can't destroy them at all. Even if you have a pure black soul, you are still delusional. Your job is to be a sacrifice obediently."

"Something, some pure black soul sacrifice" is nothing.

"You are about to die anyway, so I might as well tell you. I made an agreement with the gods. As long as I stay on this cliff for 2000 years, I will dedicate a human soul to someone on the Ghost Festival every year. My My lover can resurrect from the dead. However, that gentleman asked me to dedicate a pure black soul in the last year. Today is the deadline. To be honest, I still want to thank you. I wouldn’t have been able to find you if you hadn’t suddenly appeared. Pure black soul.”

The girl ghost said it sincerely.He held his hands on his chest in a praying motion, his eyes filled with anticipation of seeing his lover.What a beautiful love story.

"Pfft." Lilith snickered in confusion.

"why are you laughing"

"Well, I don't know what kind of deal you made with the fake god. But no matter what the situation is, it is impossible for people to come back to life. Although saying this will make you feel that 2000 years of hard work have been in vain, But it's true."

"You are talking nonsense. You are all lying to me. How could a god lie to me? He will definitely come back, okay?" The girl ghost suddenly became very excited. "Why does everyone say this? Do you all want to destroy our love?"

"I have heard about your miserable deeds. It's not surprising that you have so much resentment." The blame is because the girl loves you too deeply. "I bet even if you kill me today, you won't be able to see your lover." .You have committed so many sins, and you have never thought of repenting."

"Shut up, how good do you think you can be with your pure black soul?"

"" Lilith held her chin and thought for a moment, "A pure black soul is really ridiculous."

"How about admitting it? You must have committed a lot of sins."

"Sure enough, everything becomes dark when you look at dark things." Lilith also came to a conclusion.Her special ability is to completely integrate her energy into the surrounding environment, thereby amplifying the power of the surrounding energy molecules.In other words, her own power merges with the darkness here, and then amplifies it. Only then will this ghost mistakenly think that she has the power of darkness, which is what she calls a "pure black soul."

"Hand over your soul" the girl ghost yelled, her eyes turned blood red, and a ball of resentment rushed towards Lilith.

"It's useless." Lilith didn't avoid it and took the grievance from the front. "The energy molecules here have long been integrated with me, and your grievances are also used by me."

"Why don't you stop joking?" The girl ghost roared loudly, her beautiful face already changed beyond recognition.

"Well, ask again, can you let me go?"

"Ah ah ah ah, give me your soul quickly." The girl ghost let out another wave of resentment.If this hits a weak ordinary person, it might shorten their lifespan, but is Lilith an ordinary person?

"That's it." Lilith sighed helplessly.Taking your time to tie up your hair, you roll your yukata up to your mid-thigh.

"what do you want to do"

Lilith shook her head, and her eyes became even more bloody in the strong wind, with a cruel smile on her lips: "It's nothing," Lilith said easily, "It's just that I haven't fought for a long time."
