However, at present, the most critical thing is that the colored feathers have always been missing. It is just unknown whether the Trainer that Morty values has colored feathers.
If he has colored feathers, or if he may have them in the future, then all three conditions are met, and there may be hope to welcome Ho-Oh.
"Everything should be discussed after Morty and him finish the battle!" After listening to the little sister's words, Miki spoke again.
She has many concerns. It is naturally great for Ho-Oh to return, but in this era, is Ho-Oh's return really a good thing?
Even without Ho-Oh, relying on various high-tech and Play Nice with ordinary Pokémon, the development of humans in Ecruteak City has been thriving in recent years. If Ho-Oh is not there, everything will be calm, but once Ho-Oh appears.
Will it repeat the mistakes of a hundred years ago? It's not that she doesn't want to welcome Ho-Oh's return, but she is worried that if Ho-Oh returns, it will harm it and may even push humans to extinction.
After all, more than a hundred years ago, Ho-Oh's flames completely burned down the bell tower.
Who can be sure that if such a thing happens again, what will be burned this time? She has many concerns in her heart, but since Ho-Oh has given people colored feathers, maybe it thinks that the human heart is pure and beautiful enough? If it has let go of its prejudice against humans...
Of course, these are just her own wishful thinking, so her current attitude is to see the situation first, how this Trainer with colored feathers is recognized by Ho-Oh. "Got it!"
After listening to Miki's words, several girls seemed to understand her concerns, nodded in response, and then returned to the dance floor together.
On the other side, after leaving the dance floor Morty returned home, walked into the house, and went directly to the courtyard to listen to the noise in the courtyard.
In the courtyard at night, a middle-aged man in ancient costume stood in the courtyard, holding a wooden spoon in his hand and scooping water to water the flowers.
"You're back~?" Hearing the footsteps behind him, Feng spoke without turning his head.
"Well! Uncle, haven't you rested yet?" Morty looked at the man and responded.
This man is called Matsuno. He is Morty's uncle. Morty's parents are not in Ecruteak City, so he is currently Morty's only elder at home.
"I heard that something big happened at Burned Tower today?"
"Well! It's not a big deal. It's just that someone went in and disturbed Gastly who lives inside!" After listening to Matsuno's words, Morty also briefly explained.
As Morty's elder, Matsuno, although most of the things are now handed over to Morty, he naturally has the right to ask questions at ordinary times.
"Oh? Who is it?"
"It's a Trainer who came to challenge the gym, from Pallet Town called Ash, they wanted to challenge the gym but they went to the wrong place and accidentally entered the Burned Tower!
Morty explained that his family has always been responsible for protecting the Burned Tower and the Bell Tower.
Now that his parents are not here, his second uncle is the real person in charge of the family, and Morty doesn't want him to have any misunderstandings.
"Is that so..." Matsuno didn't say much after hearing this
"By the way, second uncle, I will also have a gym battle with him in the Bell Tower tomorrow!"
After saying this, Morty also mentioned it deliberately. After all, the second uncle is now acting as the head of the family, and everything needs to be reported to him.
"Huh??"
"It's okay to fight in the gym? Why do we have to do it in the Bell Tower?" Hearing this, Matsuno stopped his hand directly.
"Because this challenger has seen Ho-Oh and took photos to record it. I think he is very likely to have become, or will be the spokesperson for Ho-Oh in the future!" Morty also explained again
"What?" Matsuno heard Morty's words, and his originally calm face finally showed an extremely surprised expression.
"You...are you telling the truth?"
Throwing the wooden spoon into the water tank, Matsuno suddenly turned around and looked at Morty.
He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, or that Morty was joking with him.
However, with Morty's personality and style of doing things, he would definitely not joke with him on such a big matter.
"||I saw it with my own eyes, there is absolutely no mistake!"
Seeing the surprised expression of his second uncle, Morty was not surprised. He had this kind of surprised expression several times today.
"If that's the case, do those little girls have any objections?"
After a while, Matsuno slowly calmed down, then put his hands into his thick sleeves, turned around and his tone gradually returned to calm.
"Yes, I found them, and they all said there was no problem." Morty nodded!
"Since you have already agreed, just do as you said. Even if it is a Trainer recognized by Ho-Oh, you have to see if he is qualified to get your gym badge ["
"I understand, second uncle, then I will go back to my room first!"
Morty nodded slightly in response, then turned around and left directly.
Matsuno was the only one left in the yard, and from time to time he could hear the sound of (promised) Frog Rosa woodwinds and running water.
After a long time, Matsuno slowly opened his eyes, with a gleam in his eyes, and looked in the direction of the bell tower.
Pokémon Center!
After checking in at the Pokémon Center, Sundae washed his hair and walked into the room while wiping his hair with a towel. He saw this moment.
Pikachu, Celebi, and Braixen were playing together. Serena was lying on Ash's lap, while Ash was leaning against the window sill, with one hand resting on his head, looking out the window with a slightly gloomy expression.
"Ash, what's wrong with you?"
Sundae unconsciously slowed down his movements while wiping his hair. It was rare to see Ash in a daze.
Serena had been staring at Ash's reaction for a long time, but Ash had been motionless and dazed, and didn't say anything. He thought Ash was thinking about something important, so he didn't disturb him!
