He knows Pokémon better than me

Wudou Town, Eastern Sea Region.

At this moment, the three of Xiaozhi are sitting on Chenglong's back, sailing leisurely on the sea.

"Wu~~!"

From time to time, Chenglong sprayed out a jet of water, splashing countless water droplets, and seemed to like this atmosphere quite a bit.

Pikachu sat on Chenglong's head, lying flat, with a lazy look.

This sea area is a shallow sea, and even on the sea surface, there are many big sisters in bikinis and boys in swimming trunks floating and playing on the sea surface.

The reef foreshore, which rises above the water from time to time, provides them with a temporary resting point.

"Hey... I don't know where Sister Bilan has gone."

It was the first time to be separated from Bilan for a long time, and Xiaolan was somewhat uncomfortable, sitting on Chenglong's back and feeling sleepy.

Well, it's also possible that Chenglong's spiked shells are a little bit assy.

After leaving Kanaz City, Bilan didn't know where to go.

However, there was news the day before yesterday that they will meet up in Kaina City, and there will be good things to share at that time.

"Kana City...?"

Xiao Gang nodded secretly, Kaina City was their destination.

If you continue sailing past Kaina City, you will enter the open sea of ​​the Hoen area, and the ocean currents and trenches are very dangerous.

"Okay, then hurry to Kaina City and challenge the next gym!"

Xiaozhi stood on Chenglong's back, waving his thumb, quite like a captain.

Although he was defeated by Dawu not long ago, at this moment, Xiaozhi's fighting spirit is even more aggressive.

Now he is just a trainer of the Heavenly King, there are countless people stronger than him in this world!

...

Dusk is coming, and the sky is getting late.

After sailing for most of the day, the three of Xiaozhi planned to find a place to rest for the night.

They have probably passed half the distance of this waterway, and it will not be too late to continue on the road tomorrow.

It's just that amidst countless mist and dust, an extremely huge and wide figure suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

Hazy, quite gloomy...

"It's a ghost ship!!"

Xiaolan subconsciously hid behind Xiaozhi and screamed.

Without Bilan carrying the truth in her stomach, Xiaolan is not too courageous.

In the waters of the Yoshien area, there seems to be rumors of ghost shipwrecks all the time...

However, Xiaozhi's eyes brightened, and his expression gradually became fiery.

"There should be ghost Pokémon on the ghost ship!!"

When I came to the Fangyuan area, I haven't tamed any ghost Pokémon yet.

So he comforted Xiaolan again and again, and then enthusiastically directed Chenglong to approach the huge ship-shaped shadow in front of him.

Xiao Gang didn't have too much fear about this, and he wasn't a youngster traveling for the first time either.

Ghost or something, right now, there is the most dangerous ghost in Xiaozhi's body.

It just so happens that we have a foothold for tonight, let's set up a fire and cook on it...

...

It was only when they got close to this giant ship-shaped object that the surrounding fog slowly dissipated, and the three of them finally saw the whole picture of the "wreck".

This is not a shipwreck.

It is more like a giant offshore construction platform, or a wide and large ship carrier.

Then there was a rollover, half of which sank below the sea surface, and the other half tilted up, exposing a part of the sea surface, giving people the feeling of hitting a rock and sinking a ship.

At the entrance of a landing, there is an old man guarding there.

Above, hung a huge red banner.

"Haizi Cordylia Ruins, everyone is welcome to come and play ~!"

Xiaozhi and the three looked at each other.

So it's not a ghost ship, but a tourist attraction?

The three of them immediately became interested. It is not a short distance from the town, and a tourist place was built here inexplicably.

And the name Violet Hai...where did I hear it before?

"Oh~Young and brave trainers, aren't you the kind-hearted people who came to exorcise ghosts~!"

Before Chenglong landed, the old man on the shore greeted him cheerfully.

These words made Xiaolan frowned again.

So there are still ghosts?

"Exorcism?"

Xiaozhi and Xiaogang looked at each other... They seemed to have experienced a ghost exorcism mission when they were in the Kanto area.

The ending was naturally to arrest the vigorous Geng Gui on the spot.

Although I don't know how serious it is, it's just a good time to meet the monsters and ghosts in the Fangyuan area.

"That's right! We're here to exorcise ghosts!"

After landing, Xiaozhi immediately agreed, patted his chest.

"Can you introduce this place so that we can move forward...?"

Xiao Gang has a long-term mind, and plans to understand the background first before acting.

"Oh, this is natural, three please come with me~"

So the three of them followed the old man up a ladder and slowly boarded the sloping platform.

It is said to be inclined, but in fact, many places still maintain a flat posture.

It wasn't until the three of them climbed to the high place that they realized that only the area exposed to the sea had a relatively huge square area, which was very wide.

It was already evening, but the lights here were brightly lit.

There are even small tourist shops in some flat places.

"It's really a tourist place...?!"

...

When they came to a small shop, the old man enthusiastically served food and juice, and said that all expenses for the three of them on the boat were free.

After some conversation, the three of them knew the background of this strange place.

"Here is the site of Corydalis Haizi, and it is also an important project of Zengjin Dazizheng Company..."

The three of them were taken aback for a moment, convinced that the name had been heard in Devon before.

It seems to be a company that has declined due to the rise of Devon.

"The former Great Purple Corydalis Company is the largest company in the Fangyuan area, and the deepest field involved is naturally energy mining and development."

The old man took a sip of strong tea, his eyes were far-reaching, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

He used to be an employee of the company.

"And this huge platform is the submarine energy mining platform built by the company, named Hai Zijin."

Later, Devon also entered the competition in the energy field, and took the lead in developing a new type of energy.

Overnight, the stock funds of the Great Purple Cordyce Company collapsed across the board, and within a few days, Zeng Jinuoda's corporate empire declared bankruptcy.

The three of them had never experienced this industry, and were simply listening to a story, but the old man had experienced it personally, and his expression was extremely sad.

"And this huge offshore platform was naturally declared abandoned. Because of time, it rolled over on a certain day..."

Since the company's headquarter is located in Zijin City, the central city in the Fangyuan area, the local government finally took back all the assets of the bankrupt Dazijin.

Similarly, this distant Haizijin platform is also a local property of Zijin City.

"Later, this sloping platform, because it was completely integrated with the environment, produced unique landform features, and even inhabited a lot of wild Pokémon, so it was also used by local waste and transformed into a tourist facility..."

Abandoned and gloomy large platform buildings, natural adventure zones... Such places are far more attractive than sandy islands, and the flow of tourists here has also increased with the tide.

"Until recently, a supernatural event happened to Violet Hai..."

The old man changed the subject and finally got to the point.
