...
"Masha?"
This time, Natsu heard it clearly, and turned his head almost subconsciously. Sure enough, in the shadow behind him, he saw a familiar silhouette with a dark head like fog.
Marshadow!
Marshadow again?!
How did you leave Saffron City, or even Kanto Region, and still encounter it?
Marshadow also noticed his lost self-control, quickly raised his little hand to cover his mouth, and turned to hide back to Natsu's shadow disappeared.
Seeing Marshadow hiding, Natsu's heart is complicated.
It's just that the focus is now on dealing with the hordes of Mightyena and getting out of their territory first.
After Beedrill's efforts, after defeating several Mightyenas in a row, he finally escorted Natsu back to the town without any risk.
The Mightyena from Fiery Wrath just kept barking at the edge of the line, just like the last time they were harassed by Natsu and Beedrill.
After shouting for a while, he slowly retreated angrily.
However, they should not be harassed by Natsu and Beedrill again for a short time.
Because of his attention, already not in these Mightyenas.
Also, the tactics that need Beedrill to practice are almost there, and Natsu has found a way to deal with Druddigon.
But, before challenging Druddigon, he has a more important problem to solve.
Squatting next to a building in the town, reflecting his shadow on the wall, Natsu pursed his lips as he looked at his shadow.
As early as when he entered this small island and set foot in the small town, he had the feeling that he had returned to the underworld again.
I thought it was just similar at the time, but now that I think about it, maybe it has something to do with Marshadow.
It's possible that the arrival of Marshadow made this place like this.
But Natsu prefers another possibility.
Perhaps, it is because this island, this town is similar to the underworld, that it came here, seeking a feeling of returning home.
After all.
The change of a small town is definitely not something that can be formed in just a few days or months.
And the rules and boundary lines that these Wild Pokémons on the entire island abide by are not something that can be changed in such a short period of time.
So he prefers the latter probability.
Besides, in his impression, although Marshadow is very powerful, he is not a violent Pokémon, otherwise he will not be the examiner of Ho-Oh "Rainbow Brave" in the future.
"Marshadow?"
Natsu lightly exclaimed.
But the shadow didn't change a bit, and Marshadow showed no sign of coming.
He doesn't have Ho-Oh's feathers, and Marshadow doesn't seem to have become an examiner for the "Rainbow Brave" yet, so why does he have to hide in his shadow every time?
Just because you brought it out of the underworld?
But in fact, with Marshadow's ability, as long as it is willing, it can come out of the underworld at any time.
And, didn't it ride that Shiny Charizard before?
What about Shiny Charizard?
Watching Natsu on the ground and shouting to his shadow continuously, Beedrill and Abra were nothing, Togepi tilted his head and walked to Natsu step by step.
He stretched out his little hand and touched the wall.
It failed to touch anything, shadows covering its hands.
Turn to look at Natsu.
Hesitatingly, he put his hand on his forehead.
"Just ya?"
no fever?
Natsu was just twitched and didn't say anything about Togepi's actions.
Call for Abra instead.
"Abra, try it out, Psychic covers my shadow, and try to communicate with the little fellow hiding inside."
Marshadow was reluctant to come forward, so Natsu could think of a solution. Only Abra's Psychic and telepathy.
Before Abra acted, he reminded again: "Be gentle, don't provoke it."
"Keso." Abra nods.
It followed Natsu to see Marshadow. At that time, Shiny Charizard was so powerful that even the two Elites, Agatha and Pryce, wanted to be subdued. Marshadow was just lightly patted, and Shiny Charizard was subdued, Be obedient.
Abra is also very afraid of Marshadow.
See, blue's Psychic extends from its body and spreads slowly, wrapping Natsu and his shadow very "gently".
Attempting to contact Marshadow with Psychic and telepathy.
It's been a long time.
Abra's eyes gaped, moved towards Natsu and shook his head helplessly.
Not even Abra's Psychic?
It seems that as long as Marshadow doesn't want to appear, he can't force it.
"Perhaps, when I found it, it had run away." Natsu could only explain in such unreliable words.
Natsu just laughed at himself as soon as he gave his self-comforting explanation.
Just kidding yourself.
Slowly stood up and looked at the shadow for a long time without speaking.
Togepi looked up at Natsu and then at Abra, whose face was also dignified, and seemed to finally be a little aware of what Natsu was doing.
Small eyes rolled.
Hesitantly, he touched his body, not knowing where he pulled out a crystal clear Pokéblock.
Some distressed, some tangled to go to Natsu's shadow.
"Just Ke Yi?"
Little Shadow, are you eating well?
Togepi This is also to try with hobby with your own habits, after all, if it is it, you will be attracted by such food.
Looking at the Fairy Pokéblock with tender pink palms in his palms, Togepi swallowed quietly.
It made up its mind that as long as it silently counted three times and the other party did not act, it would eat the Pokéblock that it had finally left behind.
Keep an eye on the shadow.
"Just Coy"
I'm going to start the countdown.
"Just yay!"
Three!
Speak very fast, for fear that the other party will regret it.
When the voice fell, Togepi threw the Pokéblock to his mouth with a small hand.
And in this brief moment, a dark cloud suddenly emerged from Natsu's shadow, wrapped around the Pokéblock that was thrown into the air, and was quickly drawn back into the shadow.
Yes.
Togepi took a bite, and the upper and lower teeth collided, making a crisp sound.
"Just yay?"
Huh?
"Masha Masha—"
Then, a sound was heard from Natsu's shadow, mixed with chewing.
"Just yay!" Togepi's eyes widened.
Gently tugging at Natsu's pant legs.
Is there really a ghost?!
Natsu of course saw this too, eyes shined.
He squatted down again, took out a whole box of Pokéblock from his arms, and handed it to his shadow.
No speaking.
But soon the group of Haze emerged from his shadow again, rolled up the box, and was disappeared again.
"Marsha Marsha—"
Marshadow's cheerful voice came from the shadow.
"Marshadow," Natsu whispered.
A pair of orange oval-shaped eyes appeared on his shadow, blinking, looking at him with a vivid halo, curiosity, surprise, timidity and other emotions.
Really.
Natsu tried his best to show a self-kind smile to avoid scaring this extremely powerful, even terrifying, existence with very little courage.
He didn't think about taking Marshadow.
That's an impossible thing.
After all, Marshadow is Illusory Beast, comparable to the existence of Divine Beast, impossible is conquered by ordinary Trainer, even more how is him.
He was just trying to figure out why Marshadow was following him.
And why is it here?
What unknown secrets does this small island have?
Of course, if things go more smoothly, maybe a friendly relationship with Marshadow can be established.
But before he could speak, Marshadow's eyes fell on Beedrill behind Natsu.
"Marsha Marsha—"
Marshadow's glutinous voice sounded.
Natsu didn't understand what he was saying.
"Keso."
Next to Abra helped with the translation.
After listening to Abra's words, Natsu was obviously stunned, and immediately responded muttered: "You said, Beedrill has a special divine aura?"
"Marsha Marsha—" Marshadow nods lightly.
Beedrill has a special divine aura on his body.
The thought that flashed in Natsu's mind immediately was that when Beedrill was still in Weedle, Tom Ritchie who summoned Zapdos using "Pure Gold Feather". and then Weedle ate "that"
This also seems to be the only possibility.
Is that "pure gold feather" special?
