The rest of the journey passed without incident. The plane flew on safely, and the strange occurrence from earlier slowly began to seem less frightening.
"Say..." Long Weixi looked down unkindly at Wen Xu in her arms. "You've pretty much recovered by now, haven't you?"
Wen Xu stiffened, then her expressionless face rapidly took on a look of weakness.
Wen Xu: _(´_`"∠)_
"Hey, don't pretend!" Long Weixi pinched Wen Xu's cheeks hard. "It's been three hours! If you keep using my legs as a pillow, they'll go numb!"
Wen Xu: _(´□`"∠)_
Meanwhile, Cheng Tian was working with Su Han to provide psychological counseling, and their patient was, of all things, Gengar.
Yes, two people were giving a ghost psychological counseling...
About ten minutes after the plane resumed normal flight, Gengar emerged from Cheng Tian's shadow, looking utterly listless. Cheng Tian had never seen the usually calm Gengar like this before.
Somewhat worried, Cheng Tian squeezed its plump belly. "What's wrong, Gengar? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Geng..." Gengar shook its head.
"Could it have been caused by that strange occurrence just now?" Su Han guessed.
"That's certainly possible." Cheng Tian considered it. Logically speaking, Giratina should have been the strongest Ghost-type Pokémon, so it should hardly have been surprising that Gengar felt afraid.
At that thought, Cheng Tian patted Gengar reassuringly. "There, there. That big fellow's already gone. You're safe now."
Su Han leaned over and said with a smile, "That's right, Gengar. Besides, there are so many Elite Four members on this plane. They'll definitely protect you."
"What did the higher-ups say?"
Yang Yonggang turned off his phone's screen. "They're probably in a meeting. There won't be any instructions for a while, and this was an unexpected incident. It doesn't have much to do with us, either."
"I see."
