Pokemon: This Gary is Very Different

"Oh no, the ship has already left!"

After jogging to the dock, Rosa, who was a little out of breath, looked at the back of the departing ship and said in disappointment.

Since the incident in Larousse City ended, Gary, Ash, and others only stayed for one day, and then continued their journey in the Hoenn region.

After Gary, Ash, and others arrived in Sootopolis City, Ash and his friends stayed because May was going to participate in the Sootopolis Contest.

As for Gary, Rosa, and Hilda, they said goodbye to Ash and others and prepared to take the ship to the next gym city, which is Verdanturf Town.

But unfortunately, when Gary and others hurried to the dock, they found that the ship to Verdanturf Town had already left.

"Is there really no ship to Verdanturf Town today?" Rosa, who was somewhat unwilling, took Gary and Hilda to the ticket office at the pier.

"Sorry, the last ship of the day has already departed. If you want to go to Verdanturf Town, you can only choose tomorrow's ship."

Although they wanted to help Gary and others, the staff had no way to do this, so they could only tell Gary and others this bad news.

"Okay." After hearing this news, Rosa became depressed.

"Rosa, this is nothing, we can still take tomorrow's ship, right?" Hilda looked at Rosa, who was a little disappointed, and comforted her.

"As long as we manage our time tomorrow, there will be no problem," Gary also comforted her.

"It seems that this is the only way." Faced with this situation, Rosa had no choice but to accept it.

Just when Gary and his friends left Sootopolis City Pier because there was no ship, an old but majestic voice came from behind them.

"It seems that you have missed the ship. You young people really have no sense of time!"

Hearing this strange voice, Gary and his friends couldn't help but be curious, so they turned around with curiosity and saw an old man with a captain's hat and a black cloak, who was folding his arms and looking at them seriously.

"Who are you?" Rosa looked at the unfamiliar old man, tilted her head, and asked curiously.

"I always feel that you look familiar."

Hilda also kept looking at the old man in front of her. She always felt as if she had seen this old man somewhere.

"You are Drake of the Hoenn Elite Four!" Gary's tone was very sure. The old man in front of him was Drake, who was one of the Elite Four of the Hoenn League like Sidney before.

"What? This old man is one of the Elite Four of the Hoenn League!" Rosa shouted in surprise after hearing Gary's words.

"Yes, it's me."

Drake was also very happy that Gary recognized him. Although he is one of the current Elite Four, he is also in a semi-retired state because of his old age. He rarely appears in public, so many people don't know that the old man in front of them is one of the Elite Four.

At the same time, Drake also had a sigh in his heart: "I didn't expect that there are still young people who know me now. It's really surprising!"

"As a trainer, who doesn't know the Elite Four of the League?" Gary said while looking at Drake.

"But we didn't expect that you, Drake, would appear in Sootopolis City."

"Well, I just happened to pass by Sootopolis City when I was sailing recently." Drake also told Gary and the others the reason why he appeared here.

"But I feel that Mr. Drake, you seem to know us?" The smarter Hilda also noticed from the tone of Drake that he seemed to know them.

"Hahaha, very sharp observation!"

After hearing what Hilda said, Drake burst into laughter and then explained the reason.

"Actually, I know you from Steven and Sidney."

"Is that so? That makes sense." After hearing Drake mention Steven and Sidney, Hilda must have understood.

"I saw that you seemed very disappointed just now. Did you miss the ship?" After a brief introduction, Drake asked Gary and the others.

"Yes, we wanted to go to Verdanturf Town, but we didn't catch the ferry."

At this point, Rosa showed a little embarrassed expression. After all, it was because of her that Gary and the others were late.

"So that's how it is!" After listening to Rosa's explanation, Drake also understood, and then he also extended an invitation to Gary and the others: "Then do you want to board my ship?"

"Mr. Drake, do you have a ship too?" Hilda was surprised by this news.

"In addition to being one of the Elite Four of the Hoenn League, Mr. Drake is also an excellent captain, and his reputation is also known as a man of the sea, so it's not surprising that he has a ship."

Gary, who was standing by, briefly introduced his friends Rosa and Hilda.

"Is it okay?" Hearing this, Rosa was also moved.

"Of course, we also have to go to Verdanturf Town." Drake nodded and said so.

"Then we'd better accept your offer."

Since Drake has already extended the invitation, Gary and the others have no reason to refuse.

"By the way, Mr. Drake, where is your ship?" After arriving at the dock, Rosa looked around and didn't see a ship, so she asked Drake with doubt.

"Because we are going to sail, my crew members are going to prepare." Drake looked at the sea, and then said with a smile.

"Look, isn't it coming?"

Gary and others followed the direction pointed by Drake and saw a ship that was almost made of wood, sailing towards them.

"What a big ship!" Rosa said in surprise as she looked at the ship sailing towards them.

"Captain, the preparations for the ship have been completed and it can set off at any time!" At the same time, there was a young man on the ship, waving his hand and shouting to Drake.

"Got it!"

After answering, Drake looked at Gary and the others and introduced them.

"That's Ethan, my eldest disciple."

Then, after Drake's ship approached the dock, Gary and the other two boarded the ship together under the leadership of Drake.
