Chapter 109: Under the Moonlight, Singing a Melodious Song
After parting ways with Di Di, Bai Feng returned to his Room.
Upon arriving at the Room, Bai Feng released all his Pokémon and prepared Energy Cubes for them one by one.
Only after preparing Dinner for his Pokémon did Bai Feng release the Kricketune.
Seeing the Room full of Strangers and unfamiliar Pokémon, the Kricketune couldn't help but flinch. It didn't know how many times it had changed Owners, so facing a new Owner, it couldn't help but feel fear.
It was a Pokémon specifically raised by rich idlers for their amusement. Because it was skilled at playing various Music, it was traded back and forth by that group of idlers. The Kricketune itself couldn't even remember how many Owners it had had.
In fact, it had only been in Danny's hands for a mere few weeks.
As the number of times it changed Owners increased, the Kricketune's Heart grew cold, and the Music it played gradually lost its spirit, making it increasingly disliked.
As expected, was it finally traded to a new Owner?
Thinking of this, the Kricketune couldn't help but lower its Head slightly, not daring to look at Bai Feng.
"Kricketune." Bai Feng looked at the timid Kricketune before him and felt a headache for a moment, but he could probably guess why the Kricketune was like this.
The School Teacher had taught them Knowledge in this Aspect: Pokémon's Affection is mostly very delicate, and frequently changing Trainers makes them very uneasy, even causing them to lose trust in humans.
"Don't worry, I won't casually trade you away like Danny. Of course, if you want to leave, you can tell me directly, and I can let you go."
Hearing Bai Feng's words, the Kricketune quickly shook its Head.
It was a Pokémon raised by humans since birth. Its Strength was not strong at all; it was mainly for viewing. If it left its Trainer, it might starve to death.
Seeing this, Bai Feng sighed and said, "Then just stay here at ease. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Bai Feng's words didn't bring the Kricketune much Safety. Its trust in humans had long been depleted.
After everyone finished eating, Bai Feng instructed everyone to rest early.
At night, the Room was pitch black. The Kricketune lay among many Pokémon but couldn't fall asleep no matter what. So, it quietly got up, walked to the window, and quietly looked at the bright moon outside.
Just then, Brionne heard the movement and opened its eyes. Using the bright moonlight, it saw the Kricketune standing by the window.
"Kricketune?" Why aren't you sleeping?
Brionne asked doubtfully.
"Gah~" Can't sleep.
The Kricketune replied.
So that's it! Brionne understood in an Instant. New Pokémon often joined Fangxing Mountain. At first, they would feel uneasy. The Kricketune must be like this, right?
Brionne rubbed its sleepy eyes, walked in front of the Kricketune, and said, "Since you can't sleep, how about I take you for a walk outside?"
The Kricketune asked doubtfully, "Is that okay? What if we get discovered?" It had never gone against its Owner's will, let alone sneak out at night without permission.
"It's okay, it's okay. If we get discovered, we get discovered. Bai Feng won't blame us," Brionne said indifferently.
After speaking, it climbed out the window and waved back at the Kricketune. The Kricketune was helpless and could only obediently follow Brionne.
However, it didn't need to climb the window because it could fly!
Soon, the two Pokémon stealthily snuck onto the Deck. What they didn't know was that as soon as they climbed out the window, Bai Feng opened his eyes and then sat up.
But after thinking about it, he lay back down on the Bed.
Although Bai Feng and the others slept early, there were plenty of people partying all night on this Cruise Ship, so people often walked back and forth on the Deck.
The arrival of Brionne and the Kricketune didn't attract anyone's attention because most of the people here had Pokémon with them. When they partied, their Pokémon would also party with them.
Therefore, there were many Pokémon like them alone outside on the Deck.
Just then, the Kricketune suddenly saw a person. Its expression suddenly became strange, which was noticed by Brionne.
It followed the Kricketune's gaze and saw an old man in a Tailcoat not far away trying to invite a young woman to spend the night together.
Unfortunately, that young woman refused the old man.
"He's the one who gambled you away?" Brionne immediately guessed that person's Identity.
The Kricketune nodded with an embarrassed expression. It was a little afraid of Danny, so it didn't want him to see it.
"Come with me."
Just then, Brionne suddenly thought of something. It grinned slyly, then pulled the Kricketune aside and hid it.
After being refused by the young woman, Danny was cursing and grumbling as he was about to leave. Brionne, hidden in the dark, suddenly spat a mouthful of Water towards his feet. The next second, Danny fell flat on his face.
"Ahhh!!!"
Danny's old bones took a serious fall. As he was about to get up, he suddenly heard a burst of beautiful Singing Voice coming from somewhere, as if it were the Singing Voice of a beautiful young girl, stirring up Danny's infinite daydreams.
But the next second, his Head tilted, and he fell to the Ground, asleep.
"Hehehe~~" Brionne covered its mouth and snickered. It had just used the Sing Move.
"Come help!" Brionne said to the Kricketune.
The Kricketune was a little scared. It knew Brionne was Sure to prank Danny, so it hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.
Brionne patted it and said, "What are you afraid of? He's not your Owner anymore; he can't hurt you."
Brionne had heard about the Kricketune's Matter from Bai Feng and Bai Ye. It hated this kind of person the most in its life because it had also had a Similar experience.
Knowing that Brionne was venting anger for it, the Kricketune finally mustered up Courage and walked out.
The two Pokémon walked over and moved Danny to the Corner. The Kricketune asked Brionne what to do. Brionne said to find a Rope and hang Danny up, hang him for a night, and properly vent anger for the Kricketune.
After learning of Brionne's plan, the Kricketune told Brionne there was no need to find a Rope. It knew the Sticky Web Move and could directly stick Danny to the wall.
Soon, the two Pokémon found a hidden Location, hung Danny on the wall, and then stuck him there with Sticky Web, ensuring that no one would come to rescue him and he definitely couldn't break free.
After doing all this, the two Pokémon quietly left again. What they didn't know was that all their actions were captured by surveillance and reported to Di Di.
"What should we do, Boss? Should we go rescue Mr. Danny?" an Employee asked.
Di Di let out a light laugh and said, "No... no need. Just let my good uncle sober up more on the wall, so he doesn't keep doing foolish things."
"Yes!" the subordinate bowed his Head and replied.
Di Di turned his Head and was about to leave the surveillance room when he suddenly thought of something again. So he turned back and instructed his subordinate, "Oh right, delete that recording from just now."
"Yes."
"Hahaha..." Di Di laughed as he returned to his Room.
Having done something exciting, Brionne pulled the Kricketune and kept running forward. They didn't know how long they ran, but they ran from the bow to the stern of the ship.
There was no light here; it was even located in the shadow of the moonlight, only a pitch-black area.
"Hahaha!!!" Brionne laughed happily.
Since birth, the Kricketune had always been taught to follow the Rules and obey its Owner. It served its Owner, not a Trainer, and had never done anything out of line.
After finishing today's Matter, its Heart kept pounding, as if it was about to jump out of its chest. Looking at Brionne laughing loudly, it somehow also started laughing with it.
As it laughed, the Kricketune Discovered that its cheeks had somehow become completely wet.
Because the light was too dim, Brionne didn't see the Kricketune crying. It only heard the Kricketune laughing along with it, laughing very freely.
When they couldn't laugh anymore, Brionne suddenly said, "I'll Sing for you."
"Okay." The Kricketune nodded.
So Brionne lay on the railing and started Singing a gentle Singing Voice. This was a children's song it learned from the Television.
The Singing Voice drifted further and further, as if carrying the Kricketune's thoughts far away.
As Brionne Sang, it suddenly heard an accompaniment beside it. That Music was so melodious, making Brionne Sing more and more cheerfully.
At this moment, the Kricketune seemed to have found itself again from the Time when it just Evolved from Nincada to Kricketune. At that Time, it was still full of hope for its future life and looked forward to its Owner taking it to create many, many nice-sounding tunes.
At that Time, the Music it played was as nice-sounding as it is now.
The two Pokémon stayed outside until very late before returning to the Room.
The next morning, everyone got up early, but only Brionne and the Kricketune were still sleeping soundly. So Bai Feng instructed everyone not to disturb the two of them and let them continue sleeping.
Leaving the two Pokémon to sleep in the Room, Bai Feng took the other Pokémon to eat Breakfast. After eating Breakfast, he planned to go to the Training Room for Training.
At this Time, he suddenly heard people discussing something. He walked over and listened, and it turned out that Mr. Danny was hung on the wall all night last night and was furiously looking for the culprit this morning.
As soon as Bai Feng heard this, he immediately laughed inwardly.
Needless to say, it must have been Brionne who did it; it could do this kind of thing.
Just as Bai Feng was about to leave, Danny suddenly noticed him.
"Stop!"
Danny shouted loudly.
Bai Feng turned his Head and pointed to himself: "Mr. Danny, are you talking about me?"
Danny walked so fast he was almost flying, as if his feet had fire wheels installed.
He angrily came up to Bai Feng, pointed at him, and said, "Who else could it be but you? Was it you last night? Was it you?" He questioned angrily and assertively.
"Are you referring to the Matter of you being hung up all night?" Bai Feng asked, suppressing a smile.
"Still playing dumb with me?" Danny was almost stomping his feet.
"Mr. Danny, for Matters without Evidence, please don't just say them casually," Bai Feng said.
"Who else but you? We just had a Contradiction during the day, and something happened to me at night. As expected of you, who else could it be?" Danny stared intently at Bai Feng, seeming to want to see something on Bai Feng's face.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Bai Feng shrugged: "I said it wasn't me. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Danny still wanted to say something, when Di Di walked over.
"Uncle, have you made enough trouble?"
Danny was almost exploding with anger: "I was hung up all night, and you actually say I'm making trouble? Are you even my nephew?!"
Di Di said with a straight face, "You yourself didn't see the culprit's appearance. Who can you blame?"
(╬◣д◢) Danny pointed at Bai Feng and shouted, "It must be him!"
Di Di asked, "Where's the Evidence? Where's the Evidence?"
o(*≧д≦)o!! Danny was speechless.
"Ahhh ahhh ahhh!"
After a few seconds of silence, Danny shouted and ran away.
Seeing this, Di Di walked up to Bai Feng and said, "My unreliable uncle is causing trouble again. Little Brother Bai Feng, please don't mind it. I hope you can have a pleasant day on the ship."
After speaking, Di Di hummed a little tune and left.
Danny's unreasonable nagging was just a small interlude for Bai Feng; he didn't take it to Heart.
Upon arriving at the Training Room, Bai Feng instructed the Pokémon to carry out their own Training, while he began teaching Bai Ye how to use Shadow Clone and Teleport.
Bai Feng had been coveting Kalos's Gardevoir's Teleport for a long Time, so before parting with Kalos, he specifically asked Kalos's Gardevoir to teach him this Move and also learned Shadow Clone along the way.
If it weren't for the lack of Time, he still wanted to learn a few more Moves!
To prevent forgetting halfway, Bai Feng also wrote down the pattern of Gardevoir's Energy flow when using the two Moves on Paper.
Now, taking advantage of having nothing to do on the ship, it was a good Time to let Bai Ye learn the Moves.
"Mom, let's learn Shadow Clone first. This Move is relatively simpler."
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~" I'll listen to my darling!
"Okay then, you carefully feel my guidance later."
Saying this, Bai Feng placed his hand on Bai Ye's back and input Golden Finger Energy, guiding it to feel how it should operate Origin Energy when using Shadow Clone.
Bai Ye closed its eyes, its attention very focused. It was much smarter than Brionne and Heliolisk and quickly and Completely memorized it.
This is probably the difference in IQ between Psychic Pokémon and ordinary Pokémon. Although Bai Ye is a little silly, its IQ isn't low.
On the other side, Brionne and the Kricketune finally woke up after sleeping enough.
Seeing that there was no one in the Room Interior, Brionne calmly looked around and then immediately saw the Energy Cubes Bai Feng had prepared for them beforehand, so it happily ran over to eat.
But the Kricketune was different. Because it overslept, it looked very anxious, walking back and forth in the Room.
Seeing this, Brionne asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Hurry and eat." Saying this, it pointed to the plate of Energy Cubes beside it, which was obviously prepared by Bai Feng for the Kricketune.
"We got up so late, will the Owner blame us?" the Kricketune asked. It habitually called Bai Feng its Owner.
Brionne patted it and said, "No, he won't. Since you'll be following Bai Feng from now on, forget those unpleasant pasts. Everything starts anew."
Under Brionne's comfort, the Kricketune finally no longer felt so restless, but deep down it was still uneasy. In the end, it could only finish the Energy Cubes with a heavy Heart.
Not long after, Bai Feng brought everyone back. Seeing that Brionne and the Kricketune had just finished eating, he joked, "Oh, you two are finally up. What were you doing last night?"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, the Kricketune started getting anxious again. It rubbed its two hands back and forth, feeling for a moment that neither sitting nor standing felt right.
While Brionne, as soon as it saw Bai Feng return, immediately happily pounced over, hugging his leg and constantly acting cute.
Bai Feng patted its Head and said helplessly, "All you know is how to act cute."
Next, as expected, Bai Feng didn't mention the Matter of the two Pokémon oversleeping again. Gradually, the Kricketune began to believe Brionne's words.
