"I understand.
I will strengthen the guard and let the troops increase patrols, but the sacrificial activities cannot be stopped."
After thinking for a moment, the city lord spoke.
He meant that the sacrifice must not be stopped, but the guard will be strengthened and suspicious people will be investigated throughout the city. "Great, thank you!"
After hearing the response from the city lord, Violet breathed a sigh of relief and expressed her gratitude. "Don't say that.
As the city lord, I will never allow any harm to Ho-Oh.
Don't worry!"
The city lord said with a serious look after hearing the voice. "Then, I will go back to prepare for the sacrifice!"
After gaining the trust of the city lord, Violet was also relieved and was about to prepare for the sacrifice. "Okay, then I won't keep you.
You two have special identities.
Don't run around in the city before the sacrifice, so as not to be regarded as a suspect!"
The city lord nodded slightly, and then reminded ~ again. "I understand, I'm drunk!"
Ash nodded slightly after hearing this.
If they were to start a search, they would be easily regarded as suspects in this outfit. "Ash, come with me, I'll take you to the hotel!"
After the three of them stood up and said goodbye to the city lord, Violet spoke to the two of them, and soon the two of them left with Violet.
The city lord also called people immediately and began to arrange the response.
Ash and the other two, led by Violet, came to a hotel that looked warm and cozy.
The hotel was run by an old couple who seemed to be familiar with Violet.
Violet exchanged a few words with them, and the two of them stayed smoothly without paying.
Violet knew the identities of Ash and the others, and naturally knew that they did not have the currency of this era, and the old couple simply regarded Ash and the others as foreigners!
"Then Ash, I will go back first. The sacrifice will start at dawn tonight. At that time, I will have someone come to find you and take you to meet Ho-Oh!"
Violet explained the situation. In this era, Ho-Oh would come every year at this time, and he did not even need to gather the conditions mentioned by Ash.
Knowing that Ash was coming to meet Ho-Oh, in order to avoid trouble, Violet also mentioned it specially.
"Thank you, Miss Violet!" Ash nodded to her and thanked her.
"No, it should be me who thanked you!" Violet shook her head, and then bowed deeply to Ash.
Violet also admired this young man who came to this era more than a hundred years ago without fear of hardship in order to save his own era.
After that, Violet said goodbye and left, and the two stayed in the hotel.
In the hotel room, the two sat at the table, eating the food prepared by the hotel and chatting.
"I didn't expect it to be so smooth!" Nana thought that she would encounter many dangerous things when she returned to more than a hundred years ago, but she didn't expect that things would go unexpectedly smoothly.
"...…" Ash fell into silence. For some reason, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
"Ash, Ash? What's wrong with you?"
"I don't know, I just feel that something is not right!" Ash shook his head slightly, but he couldn't tell what was wrong!
"Is it because you are worried about your future partners and put too much pressure on people!" Nana asked carefully after hearing the voice.
"Maybe!" Ash replied lightly, but he didn't think so in his heart, so he could only be vigilant.
"Anyway, thank you for your concern, then!"
"Don't be so polite, I should thank you, if it weren't for your appearance, I wouldn't be able to experience the real Sinnoh legend in person!" Nana responded with a smile.
Her grandmother has been conducting research in this area since she was a child. Although the progress is much faster than other Archeologists, many things are only in the theoretical stage after all [there is no way to be confirmed.
If he can return safely this time, it will definitely have a far-reaching impact on his grandmother's research!
"That's not what I'm talking about!" Ash looked at Nana and said calmly.
"Hmm?" Nana was slightly stunned and looked at Ash in confusion. If it wasn't about this matter, what else could it be?.......
"I mean, thank you for believing in me and standing firmly by my side!
!!!
Listening to Ash's explanation, Nana couldn't help but think of the situation in Sinnoh Region.
At that time, she and Ash should be considered to have known each other through fighting. At that time, she didn't know the specific situation, and she didn't ask clearly before she started fighting. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end.
"This matter... If I really want to say it, it's me who should apologize to you!"
"At that time, I attacked you without knowing the right and wrong, but you still protected me. I don't know what happened. I always couldn't calm down and was impulsive when encountering things!"
Nana said while lowering her head unconsciously. Now thinking carefully, she was too impatient before.
With Ash's personality, if she hadn't been aggressive at that time, there would be no misunderstanding at all.
"Always full of blood, rushing around, unconsciously hurting the companions around him, in the past Gabite is the same!" Nana seemed to think of something sad, and a trace of deep self-blame flashed in her eyes.
"Although I don't know what happened, since Gabite is still with you now, I think it can definitely understand your feelings!"
Feeling Nana's emotional changes, Ash also comforted her.
Although the two of them are very compatible and look like partners who have traveled together for a long time, they have only known each other for a day, so Ash did not continue to ask.
"Yes! Thanks to Gabite for always being with me. I'm sorry Ash, I wanted to take care of you, but I didn't expect that I would need your comfort in return!"
Nana listened to Ash's words and nodded in agreement. She used to be very strict with her Pokémon.
So strict that she often got injured even in daily training, but Gabite and other Pokémon never left her. Fortunately, she later woke up and realized that excessive training is often not good.
It's just that sometimes, when encountering big things, she still can't control her emotions, just like when she just met Ash, Ash identified the person as the culprit who stole the diamond and took action directly.
