Eric did not continue to stay at Elder Yukito’s house.
Having played the game, Eric knew the character of the two old people, so he rest assuredly left the matter of repairing the mask to him.
After ending the conversation with Elder Yukito, Eric did not wander around in Mossui Town.
“Let’s go, Lilligant.” Eric carefully observed his surroundings.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly led Lilligant into the dark dense forest, then followed the path he had taken earlier to return to the camping cave.
“Victini!” “Pon-ny!” Seeing Eric and Lilligant, Victini and Ogerpon rushed over excitedly.
Victini was fine, but what surprised Eric was that Ogerpon would actually show such affection.
“Alright, alright, sorry to keep you waiting.” Holding one in each arm, Eric took their hands and walked toward the cave.
As they walked, Eric told Ogerpon about going down the mountain to find the mask artisan.
“Sorry, Pon-Pon.” Eric said: “I had to make you be away from your mask for a while longer.” “Pon-ny~~” The little one shook her head after hearing this; she didn’t care when Eric returned the mask.
In Ogerpon’s eyes, the mask was important, but Eric was just as important.
‘Pon-Pon trusts Eric.’ Eric didn’t understand Ogerpon’s words, but some things didn’t need to be said; he could feel the little one’s trust in him.
“Yeah.” Eric stroked Ogerpon’s head and smiled: “Tomorrow, when we get the mask back, let me see your power, Pon-Pon.” “Pon-ny!” Ogerpon immediately indicated it was no problem.
Even without the mask, Ogerpon could still protect Eric.
Well, the mask was also very important.
With the mask, Ogerpon could unleash her true power.
Night had completely fallen.
Eric turned off the desk lamp by his head and squeezed into the tent with the three little ones.
“Pon-ny…” “Lilligant~” Eric cuddled with his Pokémon.
By his left hand was Lilligant, who exuded the fragrance of flowers, and by his right hand was Pon-Pon, who was tightly clutching his arm and curled up into a little ball.
“Ugh…” The heaviest one was the Star of Victory lying on his chest.
It must be noted that the official weight of Victini is 4kg, but Eric’s Victini, because of eating well recently, weighed even more, reaching five kilograms.
“Is this the value of a Pokemon World Human?” Even though such a heavy creature was pressing on his chest, Eric only felt like he was holding a soft plush toy.
However, thinking about the strength of Team Rockets, Eric was still far behind.
“Forget it.” Eric closed his eyes: “Being able to live a normal life with Pokémon is good enough; I won’t be greedy about becoming a super Ash.” Soon, morning came.
Eric made breakfast for the Pokémon.
He let Ogerpon stay here while he went to Elder Yukito’s house.
The sky was just brightening, and the streets were empty.
Eric quietly visited Elder Yukito’s house.
The old man had already gone to sleep, but Grandma Hideko had been waiting there for a long time.
“Mr.
Eric, you’re here?” Seeing Eric, Grandma Hideko quickly took out the teal mask wrapped in cloth from the room: “The item has been repaired.
Please return it to that child.” “Thank you for your hard work.” Eric sincerely thanked the old woman.
Kitakami was a place with its fair share of difficult people, but there were still kind-hearted people here.
Eric was so careful, not daring to have direct contact, precisely to avoid Elder Yukito and Grandma Hideko being implicated in his next actions.
“It’s okay, oh.” Grandma Hideko showed a kind smile.
She placed her hand on her cheek and reminisced: “I haven’t seen him like that for a long time.” “It was like returning to his younger days,” said Grandma Hideko: “Even though he is already so old, he worked excitedly all night long like a child.” “It’s clearly such an important matter to return the mask; he should have done it himself.” Grandma Hideko complained about Elder Yukito, but in her words, that deep affection of a couple living together could not be hidden.
“By the way.” Grandma Hideko looked at Eric seriously: “Before the old man went to sleep, he specifically instructed me to ask you for a favor.” “Please go ahead.” Having received the other party’s kindness, as long as it was something within his power, Eric would not refuse.
However, the request from Grandma Hideko and Elder Yukito was somewhat unexpected to Eric.
“Please take that child away.” Grandma Hideko said: “It’s enough.
That child’s future should not be trapped in this land.” “I beg you…” “Ah.” Eric didn’t say anything like “It depends on what Pon-Pon wants” or other nonsense.
He came to Kitakami precisely to win over Ogerpon’s heart and mind.
Therefore, there was no need to be so hypocritical.
Eric, he just coveted Ogerpon!
“As a Trainer, isn’t this only natural?” Eric smiled and promised: “I will take her out of Kitakami and let her see the outside world!” The more he came into contact with the kind people of the Pokémon world, the more Eric could appreciate the beauty of this world.
Yukito, Hideko, and the man who once accompanied Ogerpon.
How did that saying go?
Those who like Pokémon are not bad people.
Although this statement is a bit absolute, Eric was actually willing to believe it.
“Lilligant?” “Lilligant?” “It’s great to meet you all.” “Lilligant?” Lilligant didn’t quite understand what Eric meant.
She lifted her leaf-like hand, held her Trainer’s, and made a happy sound: “Lilligant~~” Eric didn’t linger in Mossui Town.
His goal had always been clear, so he returned directly to the cave with the mask.
“I’m back!” “Pon-Pon, here.” Eric immediately handed the mask to Ogerpon: “It’s been repaired.
Come and try it on.” “Pon-ny!” Ogerpon stared blankly at the mask in her hand for a long, long time before putting it back on: “Pon-ny-ow!” The next moment, as the gemstone on the mask bloomed with a verdant green light, a surging aura burst forth from within Ogerpon.
She stood there, even though she was so small, yet she brought immense pressure to Lilligant, who was already over level 60.
Strong, very strong!
If the Ogerpon before getting the mask had a Pokémon level between 50 and 60, then the current Pon-Pon had undoubtedly surpassed level 70, and was even infinitely close to level 80.
“This, is the change this big?” Eric was not a reckless person like Ash, but a research-oriented Trainer.
He carefully compared Ogerpon’s changes before and after, then recalled the situation in the game: “So that’s how it is.
No wonder in the game, Pon-Pon without the mask would be bullied by the monkey, chicken, and dog.”
