Chapter 273: Capture! Rotom!

Marvelous Bridge is a bridge in the Unova region connecting Route 15 and Route 16. The wonder of this bridge is that its two ends are not directly connected to the land on both sides, but use elevators to transport people to the rest station under the cliff.

However, the most impressive thing is that this high-tech bridge always breaks down. When Guang Tai rode Aegislash to the rest station, it was already near midnight, and there were still many people in the rest station of the bridge.

Parasol Lady: "It seems it can't be repaired today."

Doctor: "The worker said it should be tomorrow... Why has it been repaired for several days and still not working?"

Bald Guy: "I don't want to walk this bridge anymore. With this time, I might as well go to Mistralton City to take a plane..."

Backpacker: "I'm still on the journey. It seems it won't work today either."

Businessman: "I'm going to Black City. Work is too late! Why can't it pass yet!!!"

Youngster: "Hmph, let that stupid trainer be arrogant for a few more days. When I arrive at Black City, their good days will come to an end."

Strange Gentleman: "..."

People of all kinds crowded into the rest station. Unlike the game, it provides rest and accommodation services here. After all, it is the highest bridge in Unova, so of course, it has some characteristics. And there is a Pokémon Center nearby, which is convenient for people to recover Pokémon nearby without having to trek back to Nimbasa.

Guang Tai flew over, so the speed was naturally very fast. But if some people don't have flying Pokémon, they can only walk or ride a bicycle. If they want to drive, it's not impossible, but the middle section is harder to walk. This is probably why most vehicles in the Pokémon world are off-road vehicles.

"Everyone, I'm very sorry..."

The staff of Marvelous Bridge didn't know how many times they had apologized. They were exhausted, and the workers who were repairing were also burned out. They had clearly operated it well once before, and just after transporting a batch of people out, it broke down again immediately.

What exactly is going on? This is unimaginable, and Marvelous Bridge has such an incident once or twice a month, delaying for several days at a time. In total, it is under maintenance for almost a quarter of the year!

"There are so many people at night."

Guang Tai originally thought there wouldn't be many people tonight, thinking he could solve this matter without attracting attention. Now it seems he can't avoid attracting attention.

But that doesn't matter, just treat it as a "display."

Guang Tai carried a large backpack, hung a ukulele on his chest, put Aegislash back into the Poké Ball, and walked in like this. This slightly unique dress attracted the attention of other backpackers.

Yo, is there a bard in Unova?

"That! Does anyone want to see Patrat perform?"

"Take a break, being anxious is useless."

A lady with a single ponytail looked a bit weak. She looked at the impatient people around her, trying to use her power to mobilize their emotions, so that everyone's hostility could dissipate a bit.

"Ah, Miss Shoko... If it were normal circumstances, I would definitely like to watch Patrat perform, but now everyone's mood is not very good. If I don't guess right in the performance, the mood will definitely get worse."

"It's already midnight now. It was expected to be passable at this time, but now it seems it's still not working."

"Speaking of which, it was said like this yesterday, and the day before yesterday was the same. But it did run successfully once the day before yesterday."

An Ace Trainer with blue hair and twin tails held her forehead, and Miss Shoko, who was named, also showed an embarrassed smile.

Guang Tai saw this scene.

Shoko is a Patrat performer on Marvelous Bridge. The four Patrat she carries will perform a spinning dance, and at the same time let the protagonist guess the riddle. If you guess the Patrat with the Big Mushroom, you can get a Big Mushroom as a reward. In the game, the riddle can be done once a day.

And it seemed to feel the master's weakness, and the four Patrat were also dejected and somewhat frustrated. At this time, Guang Tai found a resting empty seat. This position was close to the elevator, and then began to play the ukulele.

Bo-long-long~

The wonderful melody rang out.

The four Patrat were the first to be attracted. They opened their mouths and looked in the direction where the sound came from with a heart of exploration.

The wonderful melody of the ukulele can not only soothe Pokémon but also soothe people's hearts. Those impatient people also looked at the direction where the music came from.

A backpacker carrying a strange backpack and playing a strange guitar.

The sound was wonderful and melodious, and also somewhat cheerful and light, like the wind of the tropics blowing into this space, making people can't help but fantasize about the style of the southern country in the sea they have never met.

People were attracted, and Patrat seemed to have "!" symbols on their heads. They jumped and ran away from Shoko's side, and then ran to Guang Tai's front and began to spin and dance!

Some Pokémon seem to be born to dance, and some Pokémon just dance randomly with the rhythm. But even so, people can watch very happily. When the melody changes, the movements of the Patrat will also change. That kind of innate biological instinct makes them most compatible with this natural music!

This is of course!

The "Ukulele Sound·Thunderbolt Melody" doesn't have a formal name. It is a Pokémon piece played by the Ukulele Pichu for other Pichu. In other words, this was originally a piece of music made by Pokémon!

Human music will have some personal emotions mixed in, while Pokémon music doesn't have these troubles. In the game "Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs," Pichu's ukulele can play more beautiful music through continuous upgrades. That music can convey the emotions and thoughts in one's heart to the hearts of other Pokémon as completely as a capture cursor!

The highest power can even reach Arceus's heart!

From a certain point of view, it is exactly the music of nature and the world!

"Mina~ Mina~ Na~~~"

The tails of the Patrat were held high, completely immersed in the performance.

"It sounds so good... I feel like the previous fatigue has been swept away."

"My soul seems to have taken a bath... The melodious wind blows on my cheeks."

While people were constantly intoxicated by the music and watching the performance of the Patrat with full attention, the workers who were repairing the elevator were also listening to the music while feeling more strength in their hands, eliminating fatigue, and originally planned to work hard and strive to repair it...

However, the suddenly rising electric current startled them, followed by messy electric light emerging one after another from the elevator, accompanied by strange laughter of "hee-hee-hee-hee." That was not one, but a group!

"Woo-wah, what happened to the elevator?!"

The people listening to the music were startled by the movement from the elevator, but the sound of the ukulele was still echoing in the rest station, and with the electric light flashing in the elevator, the vocal music of the ukulele began to become high-pitched and cheerful!

Guang Tai also entered the state of music immersion again. Although he knew the abnormal movement of the elevator, this was just the beginning!

Next, there will be more amazing things! Whether it is music or the "electric ghosts" in the elevator!

"Woo-wah, things are flying up!"

"The trash can is also flying up!"

People were scared by the strange phenomena happening around them. Those flying trash cans and waste paper balls, as well as bottles of Fresh Water, Moomoo Milk, and Soda Pop, were flying around in the rest station as if they had life, and even things like the Parasol Lady's umbrella, the businessman's wig, and other messy things!

"My hair!"

That businessman touched his bald head, looking at his wig flying in the sky in despair, while the real bald guy in a jacket next to him patted the businessman's shoulder sympathetically and gave a thumbs up with a smile, and at the same time, a flash of electric light flashed on that shiny bald head.

"Mi-mi-na-na~~——"

The heart's voice of the Patrat was also heard by Guang Tai, and he understood some of the moves they possessed!

When the electric light in the elevator echoed in the form of a ghost, Guang Tai heard several relatively hollow and lonely echoes.

【Echoes from the Spirit Realm attacked you! You are immune to negative mental states!】

【Your psychic power is responding to the echoes of the Spirit Realm!】

The power of the Spirit Realm is here! Those Pokémon from the Spirit Realm also revealed their true bodies!

Guang Tai stood up from the seat, and the sound of the ukulele became like a ship tossing in a storm and big waves. The sound of that urgent battle made the fighting will of the Patrat high!

"Patrat! Odor Sleuth!"

Clearly Shoko's Pokémon, but at this time they completely followed Guang Tai's instructions. The four Patrat held hands and formed a "Rat Wall," and eight eyes released huge and bright beams at the same time, finding the true position of the opponent!

Odor Sleuth! Moves that have no effect on Ghost-type Pokémon and opponents with high evasion become able to hit! At the same time, it can find the true body of Ghost-type Pokémon!

Swish swish swish swish!

Four strong lights illuminated the road to the elevator, and those ghost powers and electric lights flying in mid-air were instantly broken!

The released electricity made the surrounding air crackle. It was like the sound of lightning passing by!

Three strange Pokémon that kept twitching were flying around in mid-air. They laughed hee-hee-hee, and the smiling faces turned into not-hee-hee the moment they were broken!

Three Rotom!

"Mean Look!"

Staring at the opponent with a mean look as if to hook the soul, making it unable to escape from the battle!

The eyes of the Patrat changed from bright light to black light. These black lights shone on the Rotom, and the Rotom that were still running around suddenly seemed to be hit by a fixation method and began to scream in panic!

Rat stare!

"Hypnosis!" Guang Tai gave the final instruction. The Patrat held hands and drew a large circle in front of their chests, and at the same time, eight eyes lit up with dazzling light!

Rat, this time I really want to make the opposite side fall asleep!

Rat hypnosis!

Hypnosis accurately hit the three Rotom. At this moment, the music of the ukulele reached its climax!

Guang Tai took out three green Poké Balls.

【Item: Strange Ball!】

【Description: A ball changed from some Poké Balls. It seems that it doesn't need relevant manufacturing technology of Poké Balls to manufacture. In capture, it seems to be no different from ordinary Poké Balls... What kind of effect it has is still a mystery?】

【Effect: It seems to have a special effect on Pokémon from other worlds! Try it when capturing!】

This is an item obtained after changing three Poké Balls through the Release Orb, consuming Release Orb ×3.

Three Strange Balls accurately hit the three hypnotized Rotom. After three thuds, the Strange Balls didn't shake even once and directly captured the three Pokémon completely!

【The effect of the Strange Ball appeared!】

【For Pokémon coming from other worlds, the capture rate rises significantly! At the same time, it can block the power of the other world!】

In itself, the Strange Ball is a ball type that cannot be identified by the next generation of games when cross-generation transmission occurs in the game, so it will automatically become this appearance. Looking at it this way, the Strange Ball indeed has the effect of "blocking the power of the previous generation"!

In essence, it changed the other party's data!

"Mi-mi-mi~na!"

After the three Strange Balls landed, the music of the ukulele gradually dissipated. The Patrat high-fived each other, indicating that this time it was done well, simply elegant and powerful, and most importantly—

It's so fun!

Many Pokémon have simple minds. If there are fun things and items, they will be attracted. No matter what they do, happiness is the most important thing!

Guang Tai picked up the three Strange Balls, and at this time, a sound came from the elevator side:

"The elevator is restored! It turns out that those things were making trouble inside! What is that, Pokémon! Never seen it before!"

The workers were very happy. They didn't have to face this inexplicable failure problem for the next few days, and they didn't have to work overtime to do useless maintenance. Guang Tai made a performance-ending action very politely, and the people around who reacted also gradually reacted.

At first, one person applauded, and soon it developed into three or five people, dozens of people, dozens of people!

And the Patrat, many people approached to touch and praise them, which made this group of Pokémon happy too.

"Miss Shoko, thank you for your Patrat, they are very excellent."

Guang Tai greeted Shoko.

"No! Where! It's your playing that's good! But thank you very much this time!"

Shoko also breathed a sigh of relief, and the Patrat ran back to her side. She looked at the repaired elevator: "Finally can go home."

She lived on the side of Village Bridge. The performance on Marvelous Bridge was just work and hobby, but Village Bridge was in the north of Unova, so she had to pass through Marvelous Bridge to go back, and she didn't have flying Pokémon.

Now the time has reached midnight. Although theoretically everyone should stay overnight at the rest station and go back, everyone is afraid that the elevator will break down again. Even if the workers guarantee that the strange Pokémon that made trouble have been captured, people still don't believe the elevator of Marvelous Bridge.

Although the failure problem was eliminated in reality, it didn't in people's hearts.

"Even if you want to rest, you should go to the rest station on the opposite side!"

"That's right, that's right! People at the rest station on the opposite side must think so too!"

People boarded the elevator one after another. Shoko thanked Guang Tai and boarded the elevator first. She thought of a good idea. Next time she performs Patrat, she will also use the music of Village Bridge as accompaniment!

Speaking of famous musical locations in the Unova region, Village Bridge is of course one of them! There are four musicians there!

Oh, there is also a bridge girl who is tone-deaf, described as sounding like a ghost howling...

Guang Tai looked at the three Strange Balls in his hand. The Rotom were sealed in the balls, and they couldn't use any power. This kind of ball is a complete occult creation and doesn't eat that electronic technology set at all.

Electric ghost, electric ghost, isn't it over if there is no electricity?
