Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 524 The Mask of Calamity: I Didn't Run Away with My Lover

Time comes the next day.

"Haha~ Qishu, I'm famous again!"

The next day at noon, Mammon, who was having lunch, immediately heard Qishu's excited voice.

"What's wrong with you going crazy first thing in the morning?"

Mammon said irritably to the strange tree that had run down.

"I'm not going crazy!"

Qi Shu, who was originally excited, suddenly puffed up his cheeks, but then quickly ran to Mammon's side.

"Hey handsome, look! My video's at number one on the trending list!"

Qi Shu showed his phone to Mammon, and the number one item was Qi Shu's article, "Qi Shu's Strange Narrative Takes You to Explore the Mysteries of Zone Zero."

"Three million views in just one night! Wow! I'm amazing, Qishu!"

Qi Shu was incredibly excited.

This is a new all-time high for her!
Mammon took the phone, opened it, and glanced at the comments section.

"Are there really so many Pokémon I've never seen before in Sector Zero?"

"Wow~ Qishu has really made something of himself, he can actually film a video with Mammon."

"Seriously, doesn't anyone think Winged is super cute? Ahhh! I can't resist fluffy Pokémon."

"This research institute is outrageous. Is it really normal for a research institute to produce crystals like this?"

"What about the next one? What about the next one? Kiju, hurry up and release the parts after you went into the research institute!"

There is no doubt that these viewers were very interested in the sights inside Zone Zero.

Especially the Paradox Pokémon that I've never seen before, and Qishu even explained the basic name and information of each Paradox Pokémon that appeared.

However, the video ends only at the Zero Zone Research Institute.

Yes, Qishu is indeed a professional; he has successfully piqued everyone's interest in what's to come.

"That's good, but remember to cut out what Dr. Orin and the others said."

Mammon returned the phone to Qishu.

Although he knew that Qishu was sensible, Mammon still gave her a reminder.

"Don't worry, don't worry~ I know Qishu, hehe~ I didn't expect it to be so popular, hahaha~ Handsome guy, you really are my lucky star."

"There's still so much material to come! I'm sure I'll become the world's number one internet celebrity! I won't hold it against you for secretly touching my leg yesterday, handsome."

Qi Shu smiled broadly, full of hope for the future.

She still has a lot of footage to edit, and Qi Shu can't even imagine how popular she will become next.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mammon raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Huh?! What nonsense am I talking about? You clearly did it last night..."

Qi Shu was stunned for a moment, then puffed out her cheeks. This hateful stinky man, he's already touched me, does he still want to renege on his promise?

"I touched her openly and honestly, okay?" Mammon said matter-of-factly.

Yes, last night when Kiju was massaging Mammon, Mammon's hand climbed up Kiju's leg on its own.

Qi Shu stared at Mammon in disbelief.

"However, I must say, it feels great."

Mammon even gave the strange tree a thumbs up.

"Handsome, you're really shameless!" Qi Shu came to his senses and couldn't help but admire him.

"Hmph~ Fine, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold it against you."

Then, Qi Shu looked at her phone with a delighted expression, her bright eyes filled with happiness.

"By the way, handsome, where are you planning to go today?"

Then, Qishu asked Mammon curiously.

"Let's go out and see the scenery. After all, we've come all the way to Padiya, so it wouldn't be bad to see the Ten Views of Padiya."

Mammon continued eating his breakfast leisurely. The famous Ten Views of Padiya are well worth seeing.

"I'll be your guide to that amazing tree!"

Qi Shu patted his chest and volunteered himself.

“That’s fine, but aren’t you going to take care of your Brewmaster Gym?” Mammon glanced at Kiju.

"Hey~ The regional competition has only just started, and I asked President Yeci for leave so I could be your tour guide, and she agreed."

Qi Shu replied with a grin, looking very pleased with himself.

"There are definitely fewer people challenging the dojo this year; most of them are signing up for the World Championships."

Mammon nodded in agreement. That was indeed true, compared to the World Championships held only once a year.

Regional competitions are indeed lacking; ambitious individuals will definitely choose to participate in the World Championships.

After all, the World Championships allow participants to clearly know their ranking and accurately assess their own strength.

"Speaking of which, handsome, who are you planning to challenge next?"

Qi Shu was very curious about Mammon's next challenge.

"I haven't decided yet, we'll see when the time comes."

Mammon replied casually that he wasn't in a hurry about his ranking in the World Championships, since the year had only just begun.

The true nature of the eight masters will not be determined until the end of the year.

Over the next few days, Mammon and the others toured Padiya, while Mizuki left first.

After all, she is the Alola region champion. Although Mizuki wants to be a hands-off manager, Lusamine can handle most of the affairs.
However, Mizuki occasionally needs to go back, so she used the Spatial Ring of Punishment Hoopa to return to Alola.

About a week later.

With Yeci personally seeing him off, Mammon prepared to leave the Padiya region.

but……

"Hey~ I didn't run off with my lover. I'm on vacation right now, so what's wrong with going out and having some fun?"

"Handsome guy, handsome guy, you agree, right?"

Sitting on Lashiram's back, Qishu argued vehemently with his viewers in his live stream. Well, Qishu had come along too, because according to Mammon, he was planning to go to Beishang Township.

Qi Shu immediately became interested. Rather than returning to Nirvana City, she decisively decided to go with Mammon to see this bustling world.

"Yeah."

Mammon stared at the world map without looking up.

"No wonder that Umbreon was able to travel across the ocean to Kitakami Village; that place isn't too far from the Sinnoh region."

Mammon looked at the location of Beishang Township.

Kitakami Township is the setting for the story "The Azure Mask" in the "Zhu Zi" Dic. It doesn't belong to any particular region; it's more like a remote rural area.

Kitakami Township is very far from the Padiya region, and there is a one-quarter time difference between day and night.

It's worth mentioning that there's a Moon Bear in Beishang Township! And it's a Moon Bear whose appearance has changed due to environmental factors.

That was a succulent that came to Kitakami Village from the Seishi region hundreds of years ago. And according to the map, Kitakami Village is indeed not particularly far from the Sinnoh region.

Even so, it's amazing that this Moon Bear managed to swim all the way from Xicui to Beishang Township.

Cuilu Town in Beishang Township is currently the most well-known town in Beishang Township.

Outside Emerald Town, a magnificent white dragon descended from the sky and landed smoothly.

"Finally we're here."

After getting off Lashiram, Qishu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sitting on Lashiram for so long was really tiring.

"Let's go inside and find a place to eat first."

Mammon reclaimed Lashiram. Green Town was actually a small town, inhabited by generations of residents from Northward Township.

Overall, it was quite friendly, and xenophobia was not serious.

"Wow, it's so lively! Is there some kind of event going on?"

Prandina looked around curiously at the townspeople laughing and talking, many of whom were wearing masks and conversing.

"Everyone is excited because the annual Hidden Face Festival is about to begin."

A familiar female voice came from the side.

"What is the Face-Covering Ritual? Oh, Wu Li, Du Ruo, it's you two."

Prandina turned her head and looked, then exclaimed with delight.

Before my eyes came Wu Lidanyu and her brother, along with Du Ruo and Zi Yu, all four of them dressed in casual clothes.

"Mr. Mammon!"

Ziyu's eyes sparkled, and she ran over happily.

"Zi Yu, and you guys too, what a coincidence!" Mammon greeted the three of them with a smile.

"Yes, we were invited by Wu Li and his companion to come and see the face-covering festival that has been passed down here."

Zi Yu nodded repeatedly.

"I didn't expect the boss to be here too. I guess I'm really lucky." Du Ruo still had her lazy smile on her face, but she was indeed in a good mood at the moment.

"Yes, it is indeed a coincidence. We just came back from Padiya and were planning to visit Kitakami Township for a few days."

Mammon replied with a smile.

“Mr. Namamen, you’ve come at just the right time. In a couple of days it will be our town’s Cover-the-Face Festival, a cultural tradition passed down from Beishang Township. It’s a very lively event held once a year.”

"Everyone's buying new masks now, because you have to wear a mask to participate in the Masked Festival."

Danyu introduced Mammon and the others.

Because she and Wu Li are natives of Beishang Township, they are naturally very familiar with the local culture and customs.

"I see, it seems we've arrived at just the right time." Qi Shu's big eyes lit up.

"Ah, Mr. Mammon, do you have a place to stay? If not, you can stay at my house."

The mulberry tree opened its mouth to Mammon.

"Never mind, we won't bother you any longer. We've already booked a guesthouse, so it's fine."

Mammon smiled and replied, although he understood that Wu Li meant well, but this was also rather troublesome.

"You guys go ahead and have fun. We just arrived, so we'll go to the guesthouse to rest for a while."

Okay~

They watched Mammon and the others leave.

"What a coincidence! I actually met Mr. Mammon. What a destiny!"

Zi Yu held her hands happily, her smile never stopping.

"That's true, but it's not a good time to disturb the boss. Let's go buy some masks instead."

Du Ruo put her hands in her pockets and looked at the masks on a stall not far away.

"Hmm~ I wonder if that 'ghost' will come during this year's Hidden Face Festival."

Wu Li was quite looking forward to it. In fact, in Beishang Township, the Egui Peng, known as the "ghost," was a creature hated by all the townspeople.

However, Wu Li really liked Ergui Peng because he admired Ergui Peng's ability to defeat Bao Ban.

Of course, since Uriel in this world had already become stronger and gained power after joining Team Rocket, he didn't have a deep understanding of Evil Phantom.

But he still had a lingering hope, because he really wanted to see Egui Peng, whom he used to like very much.

the other side.

Mammon and his group arrived at the guesthouse they had booked in advance.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

A bright crimson light shone from Mammon's shadow, and a gleaming Gengar emerged from it, its chubby little paws clutching three masks.

"Good job, Gengar."

Mammon accepted the three masks, a slow smile spreading across his face.

The well mask, the stove mask, and the foundation stone mask were originally sealed in the Kitakami Central Shrine, but Mammon let Shiny Gengar go in and take them out.

With these three masks, we won't have to worry about the evil spirits coming after us.
