Chapter 138: Heading to Maiden's Peak

Although Yumachi Wharf suffered a lot of damage, some parts were still intact, so it was still possible to enter and exit.

Ash's group didn't intend to stay in Rampur for a long time. After breakfast, they bought an S.S. Ticket to Maiden's Peak and waited on the pier.

"It's really thanks to you this time, Horsea..." Leaning on the slightly tattered railing, Misty looked down at Horsea who was playing with Staryu and Starmie in the sea. After what happened yesterday, she kept Horsea with her, mainly because Horsea wanted to follow her.

Ash and Brock were talking behind Misty. They were discussing how humans and Pokémon should get along with each other, because what happened yesterday really made them feel differently.

Brock really hated people who were willing to destroy the peace between humans and Pokémon for their own selfishness because there had been many such situations in history, and the final result was that both humans and Pokémon lost.

And this was a situation where the gods didn't take action. Once the gods became malicious towards humans, the entire world of humans would be completely extinct. This was not a joke.

Fortunately, the gods were close to human beings, and even at many critical moments, when human beings had disasters, they were overcome by the actions of the gods. For example, this time, if Marshadow hadn't taken action, Rampur might have really been destroyed.

It's just that Ash and Brock were still indifferent at this time, even if they had any ideas, they couldn't implement them. They could only do their best and at the same time positively influence the human beings they came into contact with as much as possible.

However, the vast majority of human beings had a peaceful mind, and only some ambitious people wanted to use Pokémon to achieve their own goals, either to conquer the world or to destroy it.

Maiden's Peak was located in a strait not far from the south of Lavender Town. There was a small pier. There weren't many boats coming and going, but it wasn't too small, because there were legends about the name Maiden's Peak.

There was a special stone statue of a girl in Maiden's Peak. There had been a legend since ancient times that a girl had a lover two thousand years ago, and he went out with the army.

The girl had been waiting, but until the end, her lover did not come back. During the long wait, the girl gradually became the stone statue standing on the harbor strait.

It was precisely because of this legend that Maiden's Peak had a lot of fame in the Kanto Region, and many people were willing to come here to visit, and at the same time, to further attract popularity.

At the end of summer, Maiden's Peak held summer festivals.

The festival lasted for about ten days until the end of the Ghost Festival, and a grand dance conference would be held on the last day.

The reason why Ash and his group chose to come to Maiden's Peak was mainly to go to Lavender Town from Maiden's Peak, and then go to Saffron City from the west road of Lavender Town to challenge the Saffron Gym.

"I see the harbor!" At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ash and his group, who had already set off by boat, finally saw the harbor in Maiden's Peak, which made Misty very happy.

During this period of time, they had been on the boat too much. Although the boat ride was also an experience, Misty already felt a little bored because it was so boring on the boat, and there was almost nothing to do.

"Pikapi——!" Pikachu pulled on the railing beside Misty, and looked at the harbor that appeared in sight with Misty, also very happy.

"The liaison ship from Rampur has arrived at the harbor, passengers are requested to disembark in order..." When the ship arrived at the harbor, the announcement sounded, and Ash and his group lined up to disembark according to the instructions of the staff.

After landing at the harbor, there was a street leading to the town. There were many small stalls on the street, selling everything, and there were many pedestrians.

"It seems that many tourists have come here because of the festival." While heading to the Pokémon Center and observing the situation on the road, Brock rubbed his chin, and when he saw a beautiful woman, he revealed a weird smile.

Just when Brock wanted to express his love to this beautiful woman, the Poké Ball on Ash's waist opened automatically, and Ivysaur appeared, staring at Brock in a daze.

Brock's face froze, and then he smiled awkwardly, with bitterness in his smile. Even though Bulbasaur had evolved into Ivysaur, he seemed to be as strict with him as always.

After Ash and Misty looked at each other and smiled, they took Ivysaur back into the Poké Ball and continued to the Pokémon Center after confirming that Brock would not use Solaceon to strike up a conversation with others.

Brock looked back at the beautiful woman he had seen just now, but was surprised to find that she had disappeared, which made him feel a little regretful.

"Pika..." The Pikachu standing on Ash's shoulder seemed to feel a little strange. It looked at the direction where the woman disappeared, and tilted its head slightly, as if it felt something was not right.

After Ash's group walked away, the woman who had disappeared before reappeared. She looked at the back of Ash's group and showed a weird smile, but the strange thing was that the surrounding pedestrians didn't seem to see her.

"Hey, Ash, after checking in at the Pokémon Center, shall we go out for a walk?" Misty looked at Ash expectantly; the atmosphere made her want to go on a date.

"I have no problem..." Ash didn't finish his sentence, but just looked at Brock, who seemed a little absent-minded.

"Brock, let's go out for a stroll together later?" Misty naturally knew this too, so she looked at Brock with a half-smile, hoping that he would get the hint.

"What, what?" Brock came back to his senses and looked at Misty in a daze, not knowing what she had just said.

Misty had no choice but to repeat what she had just said.

"No problem, but I want to go for a walk by myself; you two go together." After thinking for a while, Brock nodded. He wanted to see if he could see that beautiful woman again.

Misty naturally didn't know this, so after hearing Brock's words, she gave him a satisfied look. It seemed that Brock was very sensible.

The group came to the Pokémon Center, completed the check-in procedures, put down their luggage, and after a short rest, they left the Pokémon Center and went to the street.

Ash was in a group with Misty and Pikachu, while Brock was walking alone on the street, looking around from time to time, trying to find the woman he had seen before.

"Where...where is she?" Brock felt a little hopeful in his heart that if he could meet the woman again, it would mean that there was fate between them.
