I'm gonna be a Pokémon master

"I heard that there will be a treasure on display at the Maid Shrine over there tonight, how about going to see it?"

"Hmm, it seems to be a treasure handed down from thousands of years ago. I really want to see it!"

"Let's go, it's probably about to start at this time."

……

A few excited tourists were happily chatting and passing by Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi, who happened to hear what they said, was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly showed curiosity. He looked at Sundae next to him impatiently, and was about to persuade her to go and have a look, but he already felt that he The sundae with eager eyes just smiled, stood up slowly and said:

"Then let's find out what it is."

"Eh? Is this a promise?"

Xiaozhi, who was following Sundae, couldn't help thinking in amazement, Pikachu on his shoulder was speechless, do you still need to guess what's on your mind, it's all written on his face.

The two who agreed with each other didn't say much, and followed the crowd to the shrine on the mountain not far away.

☆

When I came to this shrine named Maiden Shrine, I saw that the open space in front of the shrine was already crowded with people who came to watch the treasures, and the surrounding area, which was originally small, was filled with water.

With great difficulty, Xiaozhi took Pikachu and Sundae through the crowd and came to the shrine and stopped to watch.

At this time, I saw a white-bearded grandfather dressed as a priest introducing the treasure next to him under a white cloth to the people around him.

"You guys are right to come today. You must know that this is a treasure from thousands of years ago. It will only be displayed on this day every year. It is not something you can see casually!"

"What the hell is that?"

"The treasure from thousands of years ago should be a work of art like antique porcelain."

"I guess it should be forgings like weapons."

……

The people around were chattering and discussing enthusiastically, they were all aroused by the old priest's words, and they couldn't wait to see the true face of this treasure.

"Hey, Sundae, what do you think is under there?"

Xiaozhi also touched Sundae's hand beside him, and asked curiously.Sundae glanced helplessly at the enthusiastic Xiaozhi, then looked at the shape that was still revealed under the cover of the white cloth, pondered for a while, and based on his past experience, he quickly replied:

"It should be something like calligraphy and painting."

"Calligraphy and painting?"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi nodded ignorantly, retracted his gaze and continued to look over there, waiting for the treasure to appear even more curiously.

In the crowd, the Rockets trio also mixed in, looking at the treasure over there, Musashi couldn't help but smirked:

"A thousand-year-old treasure, if you steal it and sell it, you can definitely make a lot of money!"

"At that time, I won't have to work so hard, meow!"

"Hey hey hey..." x2

And the old man looked at the atmosphere of the scene enough, and he didn't hold everyone's appetite. He grabbed the lower end of the cloth and lifted it up suddenly. At that moment, everyone's eyes fell on the revealed treasure in unison. After seeing it, they were all stunned in surprise.

"Wow! Sundae, you really guessed it!"

Xiao Zhi, who suddenly saw the treasure clearly, shouted in surprise, and then when he saw the content clearly, he was stunned, his eyes widened for a long time and he couldn't regain his senses.

I saw that it was a painting, a very old but extremely exquisite painting.And the main subject in the painting is a young girl, a beautiful and breath-taking young girl.

I saw her standing on a cliff in the painting, looking into the distance with longing eyes, holding her hands together in prayer, her smooth long hair and white dress being blown by the wind, so vivid and vivid, as if It will appear as if she will walk out of the painting in the next second, so that all the audience will be amazed by her beauty the moment they see her.

"Those with impure thoughts, let's get rid of your thoughts as soon as possible. This beautiful girl was born 2000 years ago, and she has disappeared long ago."

When everyone was stunned, the old priest patted the board, coughed and reminded, and continued to explain after everyone recovered:

"About the story of the girl in the painting, it is said that she had a lover who fell in love, but when the war came, her lover was forced to join the army to fight, and they made a promise to meet again.

Since then, the girl has been waiting endlessly. She waited and waited. It has been a long time like this, but her lover never came back. In the past, the girl who has been waiting for her lover to return has now become a stone statue on the Maiden Gorge, continuing to wait in this way. "

After listening to the priest's explanation, everyone was surprised and regretted by such a story.But Xiaozhi fell into a deep confusion and couldn't extricate himself. It was not until Sundae and Pikachu called him several times that he came back.

"What's wrong with you? After seeing that painting, I became out of my mind."

Sundae asked curiously, and Xiaozhi replied in a low voice with a solemn expression:

"But... I just saw her at the port today."

"What did you say?!"

"Pickup?"

Sundae and Pikachu were stunned when they first heard his words, with expressions of disbelief.

"What's going on here, what happened to you at the pier today?"

Sundae frowned delicately and asked, seeing this, Xiaozhi no longer concealed it, and told what happened...

"So, did you see someone who looked like the girl in that painting? Could it be that you got it wrong?"

After hearing what he said, Sundae couldn't believe it was true, but Xiaozhi's expression didn't look like he was lying, which made it even more confusing, how could people from thousands of years ago still appear here.

Xiaozhi didn't care about their doubts, he clenched his fists and said with firm eyes:

"I'm going to have a look there!"

Then he turned around and left, heading straight for the cliff behind the shrine.Sundae, who had reacted, looked at Xiaozhi who had left them behind and couldn't help covering his head and sighing, then picked up Pikachu and hurriedly chased after him.

Not long after, the two came to the edge of the cliff, and when they looked up, they clearly saw a stone statue of a girl standing on the edge of the cliff not far ahead, sitting alone on the edge of the cliff, looking closely at the Looking far away, waiting for the return of lovers.

Xiaozhi's eyes trembled, and he walked straight over there, and came to the back of the girl's stone statue. Xiaozhi lay on the fence and stared at the girl's stone statue in front of him intently.

The sea breeze whipped up waves and slapped on the cliff below, making a rumbling sound, but she who was waiting here alone seemed extremely quiet. For a while, Xiaozhi couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, sighed, and remained silent.

"Did you get the answer you wanted?"

At this time, Sundae walked to him with Pikachu in his arms, tilted his head to look at him and said so.

Hearing the sound, Xiaozhi turned his head to look at Sundae, who was leaning against the fence with calm eyes and a gentle smile on his cheek. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while before hearing his dull voice:

"I don't know, if it's really her ghost, it's a little... sympathetic."

"I didn't expect you to lose your soul because of a girl one day."

Looking at Xiaozhi who was depressed at this time, Sundae said jokingly, but for some reason, she felt a deep sense of frustration when she said this.The delicate and soft hands were involuntarily clenched, but they were loosened after a few seconds. She sighed faintly and felt relieved.

"Huh? Sundae, do you believe what I say?!"

Not noticing the subtle changes in the girl around him, Xiao Zhi asked in surprise.

In his opinion, Sundae, who has always advocated scientific theories, would find it difficult to believe in these fantastic things, not to mention whether human ghosts exist is still an unsolved mystery, and it is not ruled out that it is his nonsense.

But the result was unexpected. Sundae believed him after just a few words of dialogue, which surprised Xiaozhi and moved him at the same time.

"Idiot, I don't believe you, who will believe you?"

Meeting his eager gaze, Sundae couldn't help laughing, which touched Xiaozhi's heart. Just as he was about to thank her for her trust, he heard her say to herself again:

"After all, for a loyal dog, as the owner, you must trust it."

"You return my touch, hey!"

Xiaozhi's smile froze instantly when he heard her words, and he couldn't help roaring in his heart.

Looking at Xiao Zhi who was excited for a while and resentful for a while, Sundae didn't seem to notice the changes in his aura, and said to himself:

"Of course I don't trust you unconditionally. I think so just because I'm thinking of another possibility."

Sundae replied flatly, and then she touched her smooth chin and fell into a short thought.Then I heard her ask like this:

"Assuming she doesn't disappear, Xiaozhi, in what form do you think she will survive now?"

"This……"

Xiaozhi couldn't help hesitating when he heard the words, and after a while, he replied uncertainly.

"Could it be... a ghost?"

A gust of cool evening wind blew, Xiaozhi couldn't help shivering, feeling guilty.After listening to his answer, Sundae nodded slightly, and said:

"I was thinking, since Pokmon will become ghost Pokmon after death, what about people? Maybe after death, people will also turn into ghosts because of the obsession in their hearts, and continue to stay in the world , it's not impossible."

"Could it be possible that what I saw before was her ghost?!"

Xiaozhi's whole body trembled, he swallowed, and said with flustered eyes.The ghost or something has already touched the blind spot of his knowledge.The so-called unknown is the scariest thing. After all, human beings' exploration of the strange and mysterious existence of ghosts is limited to ghost Pokémon. As for human ghosts, they are unheard of.

Seeing Xiaozhi's panic, Sundae couldn't help but sighed to comfort him and said:

"Xiaozhi, don't worry too much. Maybe it's just your illusion. Don't put pressure on yourself. We'll leave here tomorrow."

"..."

But at this moment, Xiao Zhi looked out of his wits, wondering if he had listened.

Just as Xiaozhi and Sundae were talking here, the Rocket trio hiding in the big tree not far behind them had already listened to their conversation through the radio.

"It seems that the little devil, like Kojiro, has seen the ghost of that girl?"

Putting down the radio, Musashi said in doubt.

"Do humans really become ghosts after death?"

"This kind of thing is better to be believed than not to be believed. Didn't you see that Kojiro seemed to be seduced from his soul?"

Miaomiao was not too surprised by this, and said while holding her hands.In his opinion, there are many strange things in this world, and he is not so surprised about ghosts.

"It's really like being bewitched by a ghost to say that."

Hearing this, Musashi nodded in conviction, and then one person and one cat looked at Kojiro, who was hugging him, curled up together, showing a disgusting smile, and was caught in a fantasy. .

"Now is not the time to dream, fool!"

"what--"
