Professor Oak briefly introduced what happened on his side, and Ash listened carefully, nodding from time to time.
At the end~
"Don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Professor Oak smiled and assured Ash: "I guarantee that when you come back from the Orange Islands, they will be healthy.
Snorlax will definitely be well taken care of by Professor Oak.
Krabby was originally malnourished, but Professor Oak took care of him and restored him to health.
Not to mention a Snorlax.
After Ash and his group finished their call with Professor Oak, they went straight to rest.
The next morning, they followed the instructions and went to the museum to take a close look at the Orange Alliance trophy.
During this period, the trophy was not stolen by the Rockets.
This allows viewing behavior to proceed normally.
Ash and his group also admired the championship trophy throughout the whole process.
I have to say that the Orange Alliance championship trophy from three hundred years ago does have great artistic value.
But for Ash~~~
"It's better to get your own championship trophy in your hands. It's much better looking."
Other people's championship trophies are ultimately theirs, so it's better to challenge and win one yourself.
Apart from the museum on the island, there is nothing else to see on Moro Island.
After a quick visit to the museum in the morning, Ash and his group continued to board Lapras and headed for the sea.
But this time, before they walked far~~~
"Let me see where our next destination is... huh!?!"
Tracey looked up in astonishment, staring at the fog that was spreading and expanding around her.
The surrounding sea areas were suddenly shrouded in a vast expanse of white fog.
Logically speaking, if this happens on the sea, it means...
"There's a good chance that a Ghost ship will appear~"
Ash said this deliberately, and Tracey and Misty's bodies tensed up.
"How is it possible...
They both just laughed there.
"This should just be some normal natural weather on the sea. How could it be a ghost ship?!!"
In the fog right in front of us, a very old and dilapidated ship suddenly appeared.
Misty and Tracey almost screamed out.
"It appeared!!"
Their throats rolled out at the same time, and they swallowed their saliva together.
"The spooky 227..."
"What are we going to do?"
This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
"Don't worry about this ship~~~"
Ash took a look at this so-called Ghost ship, and then continued to call on Lapras to move forward and ignore it.
He knew that the captain of this ship was the owner of the championship trophy displayed in the museum on Moro Island.
300 years ago, he won the Orange Alliance championship with the power of Gastly and Haunter.
Moreover, the captain also used his ship to help transport supplies between the islands.
The captain loved Pokémon very much during his lifetime. In addition, because he helped various islands, he was warmly welcomed by the islanders every time he visited an island.
But unfortunately, one night 300 years ago, they encountered a fierce hurricane rain and unfortunately the ship sank.
From then on, the captain's most precious thing in his life was the championship trophy.
He has also been protected by Gastly and Haunter on this Ghost ship.
But until recently, some humans discovered their shipwreck, and took away the championship trophy while Gastly and Haunter were sleeping.
So, after waking up, Gastly and Haunter used their own power to float the sunken ship on the sea.
They are preparing to take back their treasure, which is also the most important treasure of their captain.
And looking at the sailing route of this ship, it is obviously heading towards Moro Island.
Therefore, this so-called Ghost ship also ignored Ash and the others and sailed away on its own.
Well, in the future, Moro Island might become even more lively.
"Hey~~~"
At this time, Gengar poked his head out from the shadows on the sea.
"You noticed it, too, right? The presence of Gastly and Haunter on that ship~"
Ash asked with a smile.
Gengar nodded honestly. It was very familiar with the scent of its own kind.
"They have their own things to do, so we just don't bother them."
The fact that humans salvaged the championship trophy from a sunken ship was offensive in itself.
These two, Gastly and Haunter, have relatively calm personalities and don't want to worry too much.
Even in the original storyline, Ash and his crew, as well as Team Rocket's trio, broke into the Ghost ship.
Haunter and the others also spoke kindly, presenting Ash and the others with the cause and effect of the incident, and gained their understanding.
These two are very reasonable Pokémon.
This is much better than the mischievous Gengar trio on Lavender Tower in the Kanto Region.
(aceh) It should be said or not, this should be the difference between well-educated and wild and uneducated.
After all, Gastly and Haunter on that ship were two main Pokémon trained by Captain Trainer, who was once the outstanding champion of the Orange Alliance.
Seeing how easily both of them can control the ship gives you an idea of their power.
They just want to quietly guard the championship trophy, continue to sleep, and don't want to be disturbed by anything.
Therefore, they simply chose to ignore Ash and his friends who were passing by and had no involvement with them.
Ash and the others also watched the Ghost ship quickly move away in the direction of Moro Island.
Gradually, it disappeared from their sight.
"But I have to say that Ghost Pokémon like Gastly and Haunter live for a really long time..."
Ash was sighing there.
"They have lived in the shipwreck on the seabed for three hundred years, but they still seem to be unaffected~"
"And the thousand-year-old Gastly that taught you..."
Ash looked at Gengar beside him, whose eyes were still clear. Well, fortunately, he had not been led astray by the thousand-year-old Gastly.
Previously after the Indigo Plateau Conference.
The thousand-year-old Gastly said that he had to do business in Johto Region Region at this time every year, so he took the lead.
The place it was going to seemed to be Yuanzhu City.
It is also a famous place in Johto Region with a strong Ghost Type atmosphere.
"Okay, let's go too."
Without the Ghost ship blocking the way, Ash continued to call on Lapras to set sail as if nothing had happened.
"For us, these are just a small episode."
"The subsequent Orange Alliance competition, my own personal trophy, is still waiting for me!"
Later, when sailing on the sea.
Ash and his friends got the follow-up report about the championship trophy.
It is said that on a full moon night, a ghost ship suddenly appeared on the coast of Moro Island.
Then, the championship trophy displayed in the museum seemed to be guided by some ghost.
With the help of some kind of power, it flew straight towards the Ghost ship.
There were people who tried to stop it during that time, but they all seemed to be repelled by an invisible force.
Then, the Ghost ship, which had taken back the championship trophy, was under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Amidst the shocked and horrified eyes, the Ghost ship took off into the air.
Floating, flying, heading towards the bright moon hanging high in the sky!
Gastly and Haunter wanted to take the championship trophy to a place where they would not be disturbed.
Since the seabed beneath the deep sea can still be excavated and explored by humans.
So, they just chose to go up to the sky, to the farthest point of Soaring in the sky!
Go to the moon, a place that truly cannot be disturbed by humans.
Afterwards, according to the press conference results given by Moro Island, it was stated that it might be the previous captain.
The Pokémon he left behind did what he did, he's pretty good at Ghost Type after all.
Therefore, the people should not panic and nothing serious has happened.
However, there was a rumor that Officer Jenny, who was in charge of this matter, had expressed her feelings privately.
"If Mr. Ash was here, maybe this wouldn't have happened~~~"
After hearing the rumor, Ash just shrugged and smiled slightly.
There is no way. In this matter, humans are not in the right.
The other party just came to take back what belongs to him.
Besides, Gastly and Haunter are already very polite.
Not only did this action not harm anyone, but no buildings were damaged when the championship trophy was taken out.
It flew out from the window.
It can be said that they really acted within their duties.
Even if Ash was there, he would not do anything to them.
They pretended not to understand or know about this matter and continued their journey on Lapras.
Then, they came to their next destination, the Island of Meowth.
The Island of Meowth, also known as the Golden Island.
It is an island located southeast of the Orange Islands.
The reason for this name is that the people on the island admire Meowth very much, and the residents will dress up as Meowth.
There is a huge golden statue of Meowth here, and there is a legend that on a night with a white full moon.
A white Meowth will appear, that is the happy Meowth God. The happy Meowth God will bring true happiness to the people here.
In the original storyline, it was Meowth from the Rocket trio.
Because they failed to attack Ash again, they were knocked away and landed on this island.
It was also on the night of the predicted full moon that Meowth was blown away and fell on the Golden Island.
Therefore, the island owner Mekoos and the high priest Shimagion thought it was the car of the happy Meowth.
Meowth's ability to speak human language is the most powerful proof of this.
Therefore, they brought all the tribesmen to start offering sacrifices to Meowth, and served it with good food and drink.
"So this is an island that worships Meowth...
After arriving on the island, Misty felt that her horizons had been broadened.
Sure enough, by traveling more, visiting more places and meeting more people, one can really broaden one's horizons.
Even Pokémon like Meowth has an island dedicated to its worship.
And they also set up a huge
A large golden statue of a man standing...
"I really have no place to spend my money~"
Misty was amazed, especially when she saw the residents on the island, all of whom were dressed as Meowth cats.
I know that their brains may not be working well.
"Oh, by the way... ..."
She thought of something: "Ash, don't you also have a Meowth in your hand?"
Previously on Children's Day, when I passed by Sakura Kindergarten.
Ash was there, and he captured a very powerful Meowth.
"Well, it has been living in Professor Oak's courtyard, and it lives quite comfortably."
Ash smiled and said, "But it was a little too wild before. Professor Oak plans to gradually adapt it to the human environment."
That Meowth had champion-level qualifications, and when it was Meowth, its physical fitness was horribly fishy.
If you can train and adapt well, you may be able to become a strong main force in fighting Pokémon.
"Isn't this just perfect?"
Misty tapped her hands, "There is an island that worships Meowth here, just bring that Meowth over!"
"Let it feel how much humans love it!!"
It must be said that Misty was also considering Ash and Zhong.
However, she was a little naive.
"Do you really think that they believe in Meowth?"
Ash said with a half-smile.
"Um?!"
Misty was startled, isn't it?"
"Look at their clothes and attire, they are..."
"They like and admire Meowth, that's right~~~"
Ash said slowly, "But what they really want is for Meowth to hold a happy ceremony."
Misty was confused again, "A happy ceremony?!"
"Well, let Meowth use Pay Day to bring them money~~~"
The island's high priest, Shimagion, and other residents believed that Meowth could bring them wealth through Pay Day.
In particular, the island owner Mekoos firmly believes that according to the legend, as long as he worships the happy god Meowth.
Then it uses the gold coins created by Pay Day, and true happiness will visit them.
Well, being able to create gold coins out of thin air would make me happy!
In particular, the huge golden Meowth they created was made from the gold coins that the ancient Meowth conjured up by Pay Day.
Therefore, once Meowth appears, the guys on this archipelago will definitely not let it go.
"I see..."
After learning what happened, Misty and Tracey began to understand the deformity of the island.
"It's a good thing you didn't bring Meowth here, Ash..."
Misty felt slightly relieved.
"With such a strange island, we should hurry up and leave."
"That's right."
Neither of them had any objection to this.
It's clear that the residents of this island are not normal, and they don't want to change anything.
The formation of such customs and habits on this island did not happen overnight.
This has been ingrained in the minds of residents who want to claim the Pay Day coins for a long time.
Ash and the others, who have just arrived on this island, should not get involved.
After the three people landed on the island and replenished their supplies, they left quietly and without attracting attention.
And their next destination...
"It's Marcot Island, I know where it is.
Tracey had heard of the island: "It was a small island with dense trees and looked peaceful."
His tone was quite excited: "I have been very interested in this island for a long time."
Marcot Island is an island located southeast of the Orange Islands.
There are a large number of Bug Type Pokémon living on this island, and many Trainers come here to catch Pokémon.
From this point of view, it is very similar to the hunting zone in the Guan Region.
"This is an island where many insect Pokémon live. You may find insect Pokémon that are not on the Pokédex yet!!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke: "Coming to this island, I can experience the fun of observing Pokémon even more!!"
Tracey was very excited and eager to try.
On the contrary, it is Misty~~~
She has always hated and feared insects.
Therefore~
"Come out, Venonat, Marill!"
Tracey directly took out the only two Pokémon he had and walked in front.
"Let's clear the way ahead and search for the Pokémon here!!".
