Chapter 467: A Succubus Appeared in the Lumiose Waterway
At the Pokémon Center at night.
Coming back from just going to the toilet, Will found that the Sprigatito who was just staying in the hall was gone.
This made him anxious.
He hurriedly went to ask Nurse Joy.
Only to learn that Sprigatito had already been picked up by her trainer.
This made Will a bit disappointed.
That little thing.
Leaving without even telling him or saying goodbye or something.
"Sigh..."
Will sighed, sitting listlessly in the corner.
"Lucario~"
A gentle voice came from behind.
The next moment Will felt someone pressing on his back, carrying a rather large-scale justice.
He didn't even need to turn around to know it was Cynthia:
"Did you come back last night?"
"Mm! Came back very late, and then went to find the Professor early in the morning. What about Lucario, what did you do all day today?"
Cynthia rested her head on Will's head, reaching out a hand to play with his ears like a kitten.
"Played with a kitten all day."
"Was it a Sprigatito?"
"How did you know, did you bring that kitten?"
"No, I just saw Nurse Joy saying that a Sprigatito was looking for you before leaving with her trainer, wanting to thank you, and also tell you... goodbye."
Cynthia's eyelids drooped slightly, pressing her whole body on Lucario.
It's a pity.
The feeling of being a Sprigatito can no longer be found.
The story of the kitten and the big dog.
Has really come to an end.
"Is that so? Hehe, I thought she left without saying goodbye."
Will smiled, instantly relieved.
Cynthia pursed her lips, turning her head to glance at her bag, where a small wooden Sceptile doll hung.
She reached out her hand, quietly hiding the small wooden doll inside the bag.
She didn't want Lucario to discover this little secret.
"It's already very late, let's go back to sleep?"
"Mm."
Will nodded and stood up.
"Lucario carry me back."
Blonde-kun didn't dodge aside, but instead jumped up and wrapped her legs around his back.
"Heavy."
"Liar, you can even carry a Wailord, would you not be able to carry me?"
Cynthia pouted, stretching her neck to lightly bite his ear.
"Emmm, compared to Sprigatito, it is a bit heavier."
"Pfft, comparing me with a kitten."
Cynthia spat softly, then rested her head on Will's head,
"Lucario, you have the smell of Mr. Sun on you~"
Will froze for a moment, looking in a trance,
"Isn't it the smell of seawater?"
"? Why the smell of seawater?"
"...Hehe, nothing."
The different answer brought Will back to his senses.
The one beside him now is not that careless big girl.
Will carried Cynthia back into the room.
Threw Blonde-kun back onto her own bed.
As a result, he had just lain down when Cynthia ran over and lay on him.
"What are you doing? It's so crowded."
"Hehe, wanted to try sleeping lying on Lucario."
"No, go back, if you lie on me, how am I supposed to sleep? Do you think you are a kitten?"
Will pushed and kneaded Cynthia back.
His strength is great.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't feel anything when being pressed.
With over a hundred catties pressing on his body, it's fine for a short while, but if pressed for a whole night, wouldn't he throw up milk when he wakes up tomorrow morning?
"Tch."
Cynthia curled her lips unhappily and crawled back to her own bed.
The moon outside the window shone a gentle glimmer into the room.
Will closed his eyes.
Recalling the days when he traveled around with Big Cat.
Suddenly.
His quilt was quietly lifted.
A figure about the same size as Big Cat slipped in, and then very unceremoniously rested her head on his arm.
Will felt a bit crowded, but sighed and still didn't drive her away.
A night of silence.
The next day.
Will and Cynthia followed Sycamore, once again stepping onto the road back to Lumiose City.
This time.
They would probably stay in Lumiose City for more than half a month.
Because they had to wait for Sycamore to replicate that machine of Team Flare, and then they could take the replicated machine to hit the road again.
The days staying in Lumiose City couldn't be considered boring either.
Whether for Will or for Cynthia.
This largest city in Kalos still had many places that could be explored.
During the day Will accompanied Cynthia to the museum, art gallery, Prism Tower...
At night Cynthia accompanied Will to stroll in the park, looking everywhere in the city for rare wild Pokémon to pet.
Such days.
Might be very ordinary for the people of this world.
But for a soul from another world, it was full of attraction.
At least.
Will hasn't gotten tired of it even after over a hundred years to this day.
In fact, the longer he lived, the more he cherished and enjoyed this plain daily life.
He hoped that every day he could leisurely pet Pokémon everywhere, bask in the sun with the people he loved, and challenge a League together when there's nothing to do.
But such a future.
Can only be thought about right now.
This day.
Cynthia went to Sycamore's laboratory outside the city to study.
Will found it boring so he didn't follow.
He casually bought a children's toy fishing rod and a lure from a roadside supermarket, and then headed towards the Lumiose City waterway.
Because being alone was quite boring.
He even specifically brought Cynthia's Spiritomb over.
"Lumiose City has five major waterways, running through the city in ten directions. These waterways crisscross the Kalos region, and ultimately all directly connect to the sea. There must be many Water-type Pokémon in them."
Will held Spiritomb and introduced it to her.
However, Spiritomb pulled a long face, completely not wanting to listen.
She wasn't interested in fishing at all.
In broad daylight.
She wants to sleep.
But Will didn't care about any of that, constantly chattering away.
Arriving next to one of the waterways.
Will found that there were really quite a few anglers in this Lumiose City.
From septuagenarian and octogenarian grandpas and grandmas, to teenage boys and girls, and even quite a few Pokémon also fishing along with them.
The lively scene made Sister Spiritomb perk up a bit, looking left and right, sizing up everywhere.
There are a lot of resentments here.
All are delicious delicacies.
"Hmph hmph, looks like the 'fish' here are very smart."
Will swept a glance, and the situation at the scene was clear at a glance.
Every angler's face had an expression as if facing a formidable enemy; it was obvious that the Water-type Pokémon in Lumiose City were not that easy to deal with.
This is of course natural.
How many anglers are there in Lumiose City?
These Water-type Pokémon inherently have higher IQs than ordinary fish. Getting tricked every day, with every trick being different, and getting beaten after being tricked; with this accumulated experience, of course they are hard to deal with.
Will came to a relatively open riverside and sat down.
Closed his eyes and perceived.
The number of Water-type Pokémon in the waterway was up to a thousand.
No wonder so many people gathered here, the 'fish' underwater are many.
Suddenly.
Pfft!
A fish churned out from the water surface.
He took a glance at Will, visibly froze for a moment, and then fell back into the lake.
"What are you doing?"
Will glanced inexplicably at that position.
At this time, another "pfft" sounded from the lake surface nearby.
Only to see a Clauncher jump out from the lake surface.
He raised his claw aiming at the angler beside Will; a look of teasing flashed in his sharp eyes, and then a Water Gun with much fanfare but little effect sprayed out.
"Corphish, use Bubble Beam!"
The angler beside reacted very quickly, issuing an order at the first moment.
The Corphish beside him instantly attacked.
Pop pop pop!
The sound of bubbles bursting rang out.
Countless splashes of water scattered around.
Now Will finally knew why the anglers here were basically all drenched.
It turns out the Water-type Pokémon in this waterway would also provoke this group of people fishing.
"Interesting."
Will grinned.
He sat on the ground, extending his legs into the waterway casually splashing, and then cast out the toy fishing rod and lure in his hand.
"Hehehe..."
An old grandpa beside him looked at his appearance, smiled and shook his head, stroking his own beard.
That look.
Was like looking at a child fooling around.
For humans.
Watching the posture of these Pokémon fishing for Pokémon is also quite an interesting thing.
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
Will's fishing rod had movement just as it was cast down.
He casually lifted it.
"Wani wani~"
A Totodile bounced out from the lake surface biting the fishing rod.
"Next is a battle."
Will muttered a sentence.
According to normal sequence, after hooking a Water-type Pokémon, there should be a battle.
But Totodile didn't have any desire to battle him at all.
The little guy was very cute.
After bouncing out, he directly pounced towards Will.
Will smoothly caught him.
Totodile kept drilling and drilling in his arms, wishing he could drill a hole in Will's chest.
"You little thing, go."
Will tossed Totodile back into the lake.
This kind that actively delivers itself to the door.
Don't want.
Splash!
Totodile was thrown back into the waterway.
As a result, he popped his head out in no time, went directly ashore, sat beside Will swinging his little feet, engaging in a staring contest with Spiritomb.
The old grandpa beside stared with straight eyes.
He didn't even notice another Water-type Pokémon jumping out in front of him, resulting in being drenched like a drowned rat by a Water Gun.
"Luck."
The old grandpa muttered a sentence.
By evening.
He understood, this wasn't luck, this was a freaking succubus.
Only to see the empty area where Will was originally located was now surrounded by various Water-type Pokémon so tightly that not a drop of water could leak through.
There were those who actively bounced out from the waterway.
There were also those belonging to nearby trainers.
They all spontaneously gathered around Will, quietly watching Will fish.
That toy fishing rod of Will's also never stopped.
In a while, there would be a willing one taking the bait.
But Will still had that same sentence.
Actively delivered to the door.
Don't want.
Evening.
Will held Spiritomb and floated away lightly, flicking his tail, not taking away a drop of river water.
The next day.
The news that a succubus appeared in the Lumiose waterway spread like wildfire.
Everyone rushed towards the riverbank one after another.
Wanting to catch a glimpse of this newly born folk legend.
But by that time.
The succubus himself had already followed Cynthia and stepped onto a new journey once again.
