Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 262: Night Festival

Regardless of what Zhulan was thinking, she had originally planned to go to the Hoenn region’s Faunus after her vacation in Kitakami Township to free Jirachi from her once-in-a-millennium fate.

"It's not urgent right now. Let's wait until tomorrow to participate in the night festival before leaving."

Normally, the "sending ghosts" activity will be carried out at the end of the night festival, but unfortunately Link will not be able to experience it because he will take the ghosts with him.

After deciding on the day of departure, he went to the shrine to inform Eruption about this matter. The latter never expected that he would encounter such a lively event just when he was about to go out for an adventure with the other party. It turned out that what the fire fox said was true.

Link became more speechless, this was really not normal - after the recent events in Kanto and Hoenn ended, it would take at least three years before new events would occur in Johto and Sinnoh.

"Erguilu, do you have anything you need to take with you? You can put it all in Kirby's bag first."

The Eruption shook its head. It had already carried the mask that carried its memories with it.

"It's amazing that you can carry all four masks with you."

Link finally reacted and looked at the less than 1.3-meter-tall Peng Peng with curiosity. He found that the masks had shrunk to the size of pendants and were strung on vines.

Can these masks shrink?

"The skills of the mask craftsman are even better than I thought."

"Bonnie~"

Ergui nodded. If not for this, Taodailang would not have traveled across mountains and rivers to snatch it.

However, he remembered that in Zero's Secret Treasure, this thing broke when it fell from its hand...but it could withstand moves in the fiercest battle without being damaged.

It's really Schrödinger's durability.

"Muff."

Fire Fox, who could see what the trainer was thinking at a glance, explained seriously that this was because the mask was also a carrying item for the Pokémon. When worn, it could synchronize with the Pokémon and share the Pokémon's energy to a certain extent.

But if the synchronization is removed, it will basically just be an ordinary gorgeous and rare mask.

After hearing this, Link pondered for a long time and was really confused.

"Wait a minute, if the carried item needs to be synchronized with the elf to take effect, then why can the red card or scarf given to the opponent directly through the "trick" be effective?"

Among Firefox's many tactics, there are "magic tricks" such as exchanging red cards to force rotation or exchanging scarves to force the opponent to use only one set of moves.

You can't force your opponent to synchronize with the item when you give it to him.

"Fu~"

Yes, what else?
If the moves cannot reach this level, why not just use "telekinesis" to throw it at the opponent? Why bother practicing an extra "trick" that is not that simple?
Of course, the "tricks" that beginners can only use include some back-attack tails, fire orbs, etc., but it is a different story after you have mastered them.

In order to realize the strategy of hand-rubbing items on the spot to exchange with opponents as originally envisioned in the battle factory, Firefox practiced seriously for a long time.

"Boni-oh."

Eruption mentioned in passing that if the item is in sync with the spirit to a high degree, such as the Green Grass Mask, even "magic" or "telekinesis" cannot easily take it away.

"Fufu~"

But if it is a "seal", there will be no problem. If Fu is given enough time to analyze it, even if Erkuei activates the power of the mask, he can still use the "seal" to crystallize it.

But as for the time required for this analysis... there is no need to worry about whether the Pokémon other than Mew and Lugia can do it on the spot.

At least Firefox hasn't finished parsing it yet.

Ergui Yan subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Why did this fire fox want to attack Yan?
A little weird.

"Let's get back to business." Link then remembered that he didn't come here to talk about fighting. "We will go back to the Sprout Ranch in the Kanto region tomorrow night to put all the local specialties and souvenirs back and replenish supplies. If you still have familiar people and elves, you can take this opportunity to say goodbye.

"It's not like I won't come back later, but I still want to avoid making people worry."

Ergui nodded. It had lived in Beishang Township for so many years and had indeed made many friends. It couldn't just leave...

……

After the thrilling changes at the Masking Festival, the After-Night Festival seemed somewhat mediocre.

That night, people come to Apple Hill or the riverbank near the river on Kitakami Street and place their thoughts and wishes for the year ahead on rice paper boats, letting them float away with the water.

"I really hope this can work." Xiaoxia murmured after releasing the paper boat, and wished that she could find a like-minded travel companion to go on an adventure together next year.

Simply put, it would be best if he was someone who was as opposite to Link as possible, except for his fighting prowess and cooking skills.

"It is said that the water flowing down from the Crystal Light Pond is quite effective." Link subconsciously looked at the two doctors in the distance and reminded them, "But no matter how effective it is, there is a limit to its effectiveness. If you wish to become a fish master or the most beautiful girl in the world, it will definitely be useless."

"Of course, becoming a water master depends on my hard work. As for the world's most beautiful girl, I am already one, so there is no need to make a wish."

Link responded with silence.

"Say something, hey!"

Then Xiaoxia discovered that the other party did not seem to make a wish. Instead, Eruption, Fire Fox and a group of elves released their paper boats.

"Xiao Lin, don't you have any worries or wishes?"

He groaned and said, "It's impossible to say that there is no such thing, but my wishes are all very small goals. Even if I don't make a wish, it won't take much time to achieve them."

For example, becoming a champion, becoming a fighting legend, defeating opponents in the Mengtian battle, or changing the fighting environment and training methods of this world, etc.

These insignificant little goals are not worth making specifically for.

Even if I really want to make a wish... the wish of living happily with the elves is obviously beyond the capacity of the Crystal Light Pool.

"And this kind of activity always reminds me of the Intestine Festival..."

Xiaoxia didn't understand what was so impressive, and became curious about the wishes of other people or elves.

It’s a pity that the boat with a paw print as the text is impossible to decipher.

"Fu~"

In this way, all the small boats have been released.

It is said that the wishes of the paper boats that successfully reach the confluence beach will surely come true.

only……

Not long after these paper boats drifted out, swarms of carp kings and chou chou fish floated to the surface and began to eat them.

But some people took the opportunity to throw the ball, and some were even lucky enough to capture a different-colored Magikarp.

It seems that the ghost-sending ceremony can indeed bring good luck.

The activities of the late night festival last until midnight.

When everyone started to go home to rest, Link, Fox and Uruk-York, who had already said goodbye to the B&B landlord in advance, boarded Dragonite and flew back to the Kanto region at a speed faster than a jet plane.
