Pokémon Modifier

  Chapter 226 Howang Court (2 in 1)

   What happened to that chrysanthemum leaf just now?

   Could it be because it is a timid character?

   However, if this conjecture is true, it is really a good effect!

   Increases the affinity for wild Pokémon, which is equivalent to a good buff for Populus euphratica, who likes to sneakily observe Pokémon in the wild.

   In order to verify whether this buff is effective for all Pokémon, Populus euphratica spent an entire afternoon trying to find suitable wild Pokémon to fight the newly evolved fire-breathing dragon while trying it out in this forest.

   When night fell and darkness enveloped the entire Baiyin Mountain, Hu Yang finally figured out the specific effect of the buff.

   Overall, it was just as he imagined.

   When walking on the road, you will not be attacked by some aggressive wild Pokémon, and some weak Pokémon will approach friendly.

   However, this effect does not seem to be absolute.

  Because when Populus euphratica passed through the territory of a large needle bee, even with the blessing of that buff, he was still pursued by the group of giant needle bees.

  Through the identification of the modifier, Populus euphratica saw the reason why the hornbees attacked him-because of his sudden intrusion, the hornbees were stimulated and regarded him as an invader of the territory.

   After a while of jumping around, Populus euphratica and the fire-breathing dragon came to the back of a big tree.

   One man and one dragon glanced at each other, thinking of how embarrassed they had just escaped, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

   smiled, and the fire-breathing dragon opened his mouth wide and yawned.

  The time has come to evening, Hu Yang took out his mobile phone, glanced at the time above, and found that it was half past six before he knew it.

   Fire-breathing dragon fought wild Pokémon all afternoon. Although the wounds on his body healed quickly under the effect of holy fire, his energy was still exhausted.

   "Then let's rest here today."

   After a little thought, Hu Yang released all the Pokémon on him, and everyone set up a tent and cooked together.

   In the forest under the moonlight.

  Ancient Moonbird, Rose Raido, Fire-breathing Dragon, Kirulian, Gengar, and Axetooth rested around the fire together.

  Hu Yang sat aside and watched this scene, and immediately felt that his whole life was complete.

   Not only because fire dinosaurs evolved into fire-breathing dragons during this trip, but also because of this scene, which he had fantasized about when he was watching Pokémon anime in his previous life.

   This feeling...it's really nice.

  Thinking of this, Populus euphratica relaxed, lying comfortably on the grass, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

   Meanwhile, in other corners of the world.

  Entei, Suicune, Rai Gong, and Mashado also raised their heads at this moment and looked at the moon.

  The evening wind blew through them, and the moon gently sprinkled light on the earth, and the whole world seemed to be covered with a thin layer of silver veil.

  …

  The matter of King Ho will come to an end here. Next, Hu Yang is going to return to the Hoen area to continue his journey.

   Early the next day, Populus euphratica was going to leave the Silver Mountains together with the fire-breathing dragon, and return to Hoenn by boat.

   As a result, the sky did not go as expected. Not long after they set off, it started to rain heavily.

   Looking at the gloomy sky, Populus euphratica was a little speechless, and said to the fire-breathing dragon: "Go down to avoid the rain for a while."

   "Ow!"

   The fire-breathing dragon responded, waved its wings, and landed in the forest below.

  It is raining in the sky, and the wild Pokémon living in this forest are also looking for places to shelter from the rain.

   Populus euphratica wanted to take the tent, but the fire-breathing dragon turned his head, as if he had suddenly discovered something.

  Hu Yang turned back and followed its gaze, and then in the heavy rain, he saw an old-fashioned building similar to a shrine.

   And someone over there found them, and shouted to them friendly: "Children over there, come here to hide from the rain!"

   Populus euphratica: "…"

   In this deep mountain and old forest, could it be some man-eating monster?

   He couldn't help but think of the Liao Zhai he had seen in his previous life.

   However, before he could think about it, the people over there saw him standing still, so they walked over with an umbrella.

  The person here is a kind and amiable old lady wearing a Japanese kimono.

   Populus euphratica and the fire-breathing dragon were "dragged" into the shrine by the old man before they could react.

   "Are you a trainer traveling outside?" the old man asked, putting the umbrella aside.

  Hu Yang nodded: "Yes."

  The old man put the umbrella aside, poured two cups of hot tea from the table, handed it over, and said, "Quick, warm up with a cup of hot tea, it will be bad if you come back and get sick."

   Populus euphratica: "…"

joke! He is a hero of the rainbow, how could a super white man get sick because of the rain? !

   However, the moment the idea came up, he sneezed on the spot.

   Populus euphratica: "…"

  The fire-breathing dragon looked helpless: "Ouch..."

  The old lady couldn't help laughing and said, "Look, are you sneezing?"

   "After drinking this cup of hot tea, you can change your wet clothes and rest here for a while. It doesn't matter when the rain stops before you set off." The old man said with a smile.

  Hu Yang felt a little unaccustomed, and they were still strangers to this old man.

   It's so strange to be so warm to a stranger.

   "You must be thinking, why am I so enthusiastic about you, right?" The old man looked at Populus euphratica's strange expression and quickly guessed what he was thinking.

  Hu Yang nodded.

   A kind smile appeared on the old man's face. He didn't explain the first time, but told a story slowly.

   "There is a legend in this monastery that a long, long time ago, there was a very fierce battle in this place, and many Pokémon died because of this. After the war became more and more fierce, all the land on this mountain was desolate.

At that time, the legendary Pokémon Hoo still lived in this land. Because of the war, the nature was destroyed. The angry Hoo burned the weapons of human beings with fire, and then used his own power to make the lake and the earth is revived.

   After that, Hoo, who was disappointed with human beings, left here, and this land, as well as the Joto area, also lost the favor of Hoo.

  In order to reflect on their own mistakes, people kept the flames left by Hoo in this temple and passed them down from generation to generation.

  Our ancestors told us that as long as human beings can be kind to everything in this world, then maybe one day, Ho-oh can feel our apology and be able to return to this land and the Seongto area.

   Since then, this temple has started to help trainers passing by and Pokémon living nearby. "

  Hu Yang understood, he said, "Do you help others because you want King Ho to return to this land?"

"Our ancestors had this idea at the beginning." The old man shook his head with a relieved smile on his face: "However, maybe now I just want to help others! Maybe doing this will make the world a better place. It's beautiful, after all, King Hoo hasn't appeared in many years..."

  The Populus euphratica, who only saw Fengwang yesterday: "…"

   However, he did notice one thing.

   "Is this place already within the Chengdu area?" Hu Yang asked.

  If he remembered correctly, Silver Mountain seems to be on the map of the Kanto area, right?

The old man understood what he meant and explained with a smile: "Silver Mountain connects the Chengdu area and the Guandu area. Although it is in the Guandu area, in the Pokémon Pokédex, the Silver Mountain is registered as the Chengdu area. Place."

   "Our monastery is located on the Silver Mountain. When the Silver Conference is held every year, the trainers who participate in the competition will come here to pass the torch."

The   Silver Tournament is a large-scale event that trainers from the Joto area participate in after collecting eight gym badges. It is the same as the Quartz Tournament in Kanto and the Saiyou Tournament in Hoenn.

  Hu Yang remembers that in the anime, before the Silver Conference, there will indeed be an opening ceremony to pass the torch.

   And the place where the holy fire is taken is called...Honoin.

   He remembered that it was Hooin, the place that appeared in the anime!

  Compared with the Guandu area, the Chengdu area is more rural, and it is also the birthplace of many traditional cultures.

  For example, in Yanmo City, which is located between the mountains, the culture of dragons arose there.

  The Buddhist and Shinto culture around Enju and Kikyo is very prosperous, so there are various ancient buildings full of history, such as shrines and bell towers.

   Even Hippi Town has a culture of worshipping dumb beasts. It is called "Ninja Town" and Kaji Town where ancient ninjutsu is spread.

  Even if he has never been to these places, Populus euphratica can still imagine what they look like.

   At this moment, Hu Yang wished that he could learn the shadow clone.

   In this way, he can travel to different regions at the same time and witness different customs and cultures.

  It’s a pity that he hasn’t run halfway in the Hoenn area…

  Hu Yang took a deep breath.

Decided!

   After his trip in the Hoen area was over, he immediately came to the Joto area for a vacation to see what the hometowns of Ho-no and Entei were like.

   "Looks like the patron saint of the water capital, the place where the theatrical version of Latias and Latios takes place is in the Chengdu area." Hu Yang thought silently.

  Odomare, an island city based on the water city of Venice.

   is just right, he can stop by and have a look at that time.

   Populus euphratica and fire-breathing dragon sat cross-legged on the tatami, watching the heavy rain outside in a daze.

  Unconsciously, the rain outside finally stopped.

  The old man walked out, looked up at the sky and said, "The sky is clear..."

   Then it's time to keep going.

  Hu Yang took the fire-breathing dragon out of the temple and said goodbye to the friendly old lady: "Thank you this time."

   Fire-breathing dragon: "Ouch!"

   The old lady showed a kind smile: "Don't worry, if you can, please help those humans and Pokémon in need during your travels!"

   Thinking of the group of people who helped him in Chenghua City and the full-bodied chinchilla in Chenghua Forest, Populus euphratica smiled and said softly: "I will."

   Having said that, Populus euphratica climbed on the back of the fire-breathing dragon, took advantage of the clear weather, and flew towards the Guandu area.

  The old man stood on the ground with a smile on his face, watching the boy disappear into the sky.

   At this time, a staff member of the Howang Academy suddenly ran over and said breathlessly, "Mother-in-law Ryoko, something happened to the holy fire!"

  The old man known as Ryoko's mother-in-law turned around, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

   Staff: "Holy fire... The holy fire is burning! Its flame suddenly became bigger than before!"

   The two came to the room where the holy fire was stored. At this time, several staff members had gathered in the room. They looked at the scorching flame in the container with excitement.

   "Mother-in-law Ryoko, does this mean that Lord Hoo feels our hearts?!"

  Ryoko stared blankly at the flame.

   That is, the holy flame left by Ho-oh a long time ago.

   After so many years, it is still burning and has no tendency to go out.

   In all these years, this holy fire has never changed.

   And now…

   Looking at this scene, Ryoko couldn't help but murmured, "Master Ho..." Are you really coming back?

  …

  After leaving Baiyin Mountain, Populus euphratica did not stop at the local town, but rode the fire-breathing dragon all the way to the wharf in Dryleaf City.

   By the time they boarded the ship returning to the Hoenn area, it was March 17th.

   As for the reason why it was so fast, it was because Hu Yang received two text messages from the Fengyuan area.

   A sailor from the White Sea Lion.

   And the other one is from Dago, whom I haven't seen for a long time.

  [Old sailor: Populus euphratica, we have found the island that emits cold air. If you have time, please come over! ]

   [Dawu: Hello Populus euphratica, I'm Dawu, I recently found something that might be of interest to you in Luling City. ]

  Hu Yang sat in the cabin of the ship, looking at the two text messages on his phone.

  The island that the sailors on the White Sea Lion said in the text message should be the island where Regais was sealed.

   Last year, when he returned to the Fengyuan area after finishing the Gorgeous Competition, Hu Yang entrusted them to help him find it, but he did not expect the result so soon.

   After all, in the absence of a specific location, trying to find that island in the vast sea is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

   The long-term plan to find the Three Gods Pillar and housekeeping has finally made new progress.

  Hu Yang thought for a while, and sent them a text message, agreeing to meet in Chenghua City, and then go out to sea to see the small island together, and try to see if Gu Yueniao can forcefully break through the seal and subdue Regais.

   If this method is feasible, then he will not have to worry about finding the location of the announcement stone room.

   As for another text message from Daigo…

   The content mentioned above should also be about ancient ruins.

   The last time we met, Hu Yang also made a commission with Dawu.

   When he finds a stone, Dawu will help him find the ruins during the trip, and then inform him.

  Hu Yang did not know what the ruins Dawu was talking about. He thought about it and replied to Dawu:

   [Understood, the goods you want are ready. ]

   Anyway, there are a lot of stones in his house. Those are all gifts from Pippi. When the time comes, just bring a few good-looking ones and throw them to Dawu.

   Green Ridge City.

  Daigo looked at the sentence on the screen and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

   The goods you want are ready...

   Are they doing some weird underground business?
