Chapter 26: The Weird Duck

****

At Vermilion City Amusement Park, a large closed-door sign was posted today.

As the only couple of tourists in the amusement park, Gary couldn't help but marvel.

"I didn't expect it to be closed today. Fortunately, Lorelei, you have an acquaintance." Gary shrugged and said thankfully.

"Uh~ I don't have many acquaintances. I just booked the whole place today." Lorelei smiled lazily: "After all, I have a special status. If I go to a crowded place like an amusement park, it will probably cause a stampede accident~"

Gary raised his eyebrows. Even as a rich second generation, he could only say that Lorelei was truly wealthy for this kind of operation...

After the moonlight dinner last night, Gary was ready to say goodbye to Lorelei, and he would continue his journey.

Lorelei also nodded in agreement sensibly, but after checking his itinerary.

Lorelei was excited to find out that he still had one day off before going back to Indigo Plateau to report on his work.

So~

Wearing black flat glasses, a white shirt, and a hip-hugging skirt, the lady in black silk stockings lay on the cooking table and raised a finger pitifully to Gary: "One more day with me, okay~ I've already forgotten how long it's been since I went out to play…"

Gary shook his head and sighed, who can resist this? The charming and mature Lorelei just wants to go to the amusement park. What's wrong with that? Of course, I agreed to her...

Hence, today's trip to the amusement park was born~

"Okay, these are all ours today, which one do you want to start with?" Lorelei turned around, and all the rides in the amusement park lit up.

Gary tilted his head and thought for a while, did he forget something important? "Forget it, never mind it, I want to ride the roller coaster first!"

...

In the Vermilion Gym, there was a cigarette butt on the ground under Lt. Surge's feet. He rubbed his hair and roared: "Mazefake! That boy Gary Oak dares to let me go! Where is he and who is he with! I'm going to kick this kid's ass right now!"

The younger brother below said: "Well, that boy is currently at the Vermilion City Amusement Park. Lorelei from the Elite Four has taken over the amusement park. The two of them are currently playing. Boss, do you want me to take my brothers to pull the switch for them?"

Lt. Surge's expression changed: "Shut up your trap! As a gym staff, how can you be so unreasonable! Just go to the door and wait for me. When the young master is finished, you can tell me to give him an invitation from his Vermilion Gym."

The younger brother was stunned on the spot: "Huh? Boss, when did we become so reasonable..."

The corner of Lt. Surge's mouth twitched, and he looked up like a big-eared melon, showing off his right bicep, which had a new tattoo.

The text is written in the language of the China region, and above it is the word "reason": "I have always convinced people with reason, do you understand? Understand?"

The younger brother covered his face in grievance. He was afraid that he would cry too loudly... "I know, boss, I'll go right away."

Seeing his younger brother walking out of the door, Lt. Surge breathed a sigh of relief: "That bitch Lorelei is going crazy, even Lance can't stop it, so I won't get into trouble. Hmph~"

...

"Ah!!!" Accompanied by Lorelei's screams and Gary's cheers, the roller coaster soared into the sky.

"_(??") Vomit... Jynx, who was sitting in the back seat, vomited on the first lap.

"Yah! It's so enjoyable." After getting off the roller coaster, Lorelei was as excited as a little girl: "How about we do it again?"

Gary looked at Jynx, whose face was bleached, and shook his head speechlessly: "It's better to go take the jumping machine."

Jynx froze, and decisively took out her Poké Ball and bumped into it.

"Well, it seems that Jynx is not too interested in the amusement facilities. Let's just play together." Lorelei smiled nonchalantly and pulled Gary to continue to experience life.

As the central amusement park in Vermilion City, the amusement facilities here are indeed diverse.

Gary and Lorelei took the jumping machine, the pirate ship, and the rapids.

Seriously, those Poliwags in the rushing water, don't think I didn't see you deliberately spraying water cannons on my back!

The two of them went crazy all morning. At noon, they simply ate some of the amusement park's specialty marshmallow-caramel sandwich biscuits, each had a latte, and sat by the artificial lake to catch fish.

"Hmm~ It's so comfortable~ I haven't been this relaxed for a long time." Lorelei moaned like a kitten and sat lazily on her little bench.

"Are you very busy? The work of the Elite Four?" Gary asked while looking at his float.

"Well~ How should I put it? In fact, most writing work is handled by specialized administrative personnel, but the location of the Kanto region is too special.

The rampant Team Rocket needs us to suppress them. There are no exhibition games touring the entire region, the annual Masters Tournament, the Champions League, and the playoffs, so there is no chance to have a good time." Lorelei counted her workload on her fingers.

"It feels like you are busier than other regional champions." Gary said with a smile.

"Isn't it~" Lorelei sighed, the Kanto Monster Room, in fact, each of the Kanto Elite Four has the strength to be infinitely close to the championship. However, no one can defeat the other three.

Because of this, the Kanto region is jointly administered by the Elite Four, and there is no single champion who calls the shots.

You know, the Elite Four in other regions are much more comfortable. The champions of Hoenn are even free to dig holes and look for rocks all over the world. Kalos's champion is also a well-known actress...

"Thank you~" Gary smiled and shook his head.

"It's not hard work, it's a hard life~" Lorelei waved her hand: "When will there be a genius with enough strength and a good mind who can defeat the four of us in one go and pick up the scepter of Kanto? We, the Kanto Elite Four, will be at ease~"

Gary raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Well~ it will happen. Trust me."

Seeing Gary blinking, for some reason, Lorelei felt that this boy could really do it.

Wow~ Suddenly, Gary's hand sank!

"I'm hooked, pull him up quickly!" Lorelei said excitedly.

Gary shook his head dumbfounded: "In the artificial lake in the park, there is probably Magikarp. It's not like I caught Kyogre~"

"Oh, come on, come on, let's see if we can find out." Lorelei patted Gary on the shoulder and urged.

"Okay, I get it. Lorelei, stay away, don't get slapped in the face by Magikarp's limbs~" Gary reminded while pulling the fishing line.

I still remember that when I was a boy, Gary went fishing outside the town. Before he even reached the river, he saw Ash being slapped six or seven times in the mouth by a Magikarp.

Gary used this as a joke and laughed at Ash for a year...

"Qua~" As the underwater Pokémon surfaced, Gary couldn't help but feel confused.

A yellow, fat duck with three dull hairs on its head waved to Gary and even gave him a wink...

"What the hell? Did this Psyduck just wink at me?" Gary asked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Uh... it seems like this." Lorelei also looked at the Psyduck in front of her curiously.

Looking at Gary, where he was stunned, the duck hanging on the fishhook couldn't help but flutter for a while, and then his eyes turned blue, with blue light lingering all over his body, he floated directly up and came to Gary.

Then, the Psyduck put one hand behind his back and one hand on his chest, and performed a standard aristocratic salute~: "Qua~ [Are you, my destined trainer?]"

Gary was completely stunned. Was that telepathy just now?

Heck, isn't telepathy a technique that can only be used by Pokémon with extremely high mental power and higher than normal IQ and EQ!

Why would a Psyduck use it? Pokémon of this race shouldn't be confused and ignorant, right?

Seeing Gary's surprised expression, Psyduck spread his hands in a humane manner. In Gary's mind, the voice sounded again: "I think I can explain. Now, can you find me a Poké Ball first? I want to take a nap." After a while~"

Lorelei nodded at Gary, this kid is definitely special, there is absolutely no harm in conquering him.

Gary thought so too, so he took out an empty Poké Ball and placed it in front of Psyduck.

Psyduck looked at Gary, nodded with satisfaction, tapped the button lightly, and entered the Poké Ball.

Gary and Lorelei were left looking at each other.
