Not a trainer this time

However, this trip to the Fengyuan area, Zhi Shu failed to make it after all.

Because as soon as he rushed to the ranch in a hurry, Kuailong came back with scars all over his body.

Seeing this scene, Naoki was stunned, and quickly ran forward to check Kuailong's injury.

The scales on Kuailong's body were damaged, and there were red marks on his abdomen caused by the violent impact. He looked very embarrassed and listless.

"Why are you traveling so far away?" Zhi Shu felt a little distressed, and quickly called his brother Ai Guanshi to get a bottle of life goat's milk to feed Kuailong.

After drinking goat's milk, Kuailong recovered, but he was still depressed.

It drooped its head and glanced at Naoki, feeling very sad in its heart.

It failed to catch a fish bigger than tuna and gave it to Naoki. It also lost to the big fish Pokémon, so it could only return to the ranch in despair.

"Ouch..."

Kuailong felt that he almost didn't have the face to see Naoki.

"Forget it, just come back anyway." Naoki sighed, reached out and touched the head of his dragon, and apologized to it: "I'm sorry, I ignored your feelings, I won't do that in the future. .”

Upon hearing this, Kuailong's lonely eyes lit up slightly, but soon he lowered his head sadly.

Naoki brought people into the living room and came to King Lei Guan, asking him to help act as an interpreter.

"Tell me why you suddenly ran away from home." Naoki asked with a serious expression.

runaway? Kuailong was confused, he didn’t run away from home!

"Ooooooo!"

So next, with King Lei Guan's translation, Naoki finally understood the whole story.

It turns out that Kuailong did not run away from home, but wanted to go to the sea to catch a bigger fish and give it to him.

But it wandered around the waters of Padea and failed to encounter a bigger fish.

So it flew to other places, and after a long search and asking about local Pokémon, it finally found a big fish Pokémon.

Naoki: "..."

This strange sense of comparison and desire to win.

Hearing this, Naoki immediately understood how Kuailong provoked Kyogre.

Kuailong: "Aow, ow..." (That Pokémon lives in a very deep sea...)

It told Naoki the scene in detail.

At that time, it broke into the Pokémon's home and woke up the sleeping Pokémon.

In the mysterious and quiet underwater cave, the Pokémon stared at it with its golden pupils, and its voice was as deep as the sea:

"Intruder, why are you here?"

Kuailong was shocked by the majestic aura emanating from the other party. It blankly told the other party the purpose of its trip:

"Ouch..." (I came here to find the largest fish in the world to give to Naoki...)

The biggest fish? absurd! It is the embodiment of the sea!

Kyogre was a little angry. As for Naoki behind him... it sounded like it should be a human name.

A weak dragon, want to give it to a human?

The God of the Sea was enraged, and the surrounding seawater seemed to be boiling, instantly setting off huge waves.

Kuailong realized the danger, his scales exploded, he quickly mobilized his energy and made preparations.

Wisps of white air surged around it, and a strong wind suddenly blew in this dense cave.

Just when Kuailong thought that the opponent was going to lose his mind and attack it, the mysterious Pokémon suddenly stopped.

I saw Kyogre staring at the fast dragon in front of him with a little doubt, because it felt an aura from the fast dragon that was homologous to the sea.

This breath made Kyogre gradually calm down.

This wasn't because it was scared, it was just that it suddenly remembered its nemesis.

Now, the earth and the ocean have finally maintained a balance.

Once its power is slightly depleted, its mortal enemy may take the opportunity to compete with it for the natural energy between heaven and earth in order to expand its territory.

It didn't want to see Groudon standing on the Sendhen Volcano and setting off fireworks.

So, after calming down, Kyogre returned to the lake and said to this overestimating dragon:

"Beat me and you will gain my approval."

Then, Kuailong challenged Kyogre.

Kyogre did not use his own energy or moves. He just mobilized the power of water hidden in the surrounding sea and easily defeated Kuailong.

The defeated Kuailong fell into the sea, while Kyogre returned to the underwater cave and continued to sleep, waiting for the opportunity to come.

The battle between the earth and the ocean will never end, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, maybe even further in the future.

One day, the battle between it and Groudon will begin again.

Naoki: "..."

It seems that he misunderstood Kyogre. It was not Kyogre who attacked Kuailong, but Kuailong who provoked Kyogre.

I just don't know why Kyogre, who was obviously very angry, didn't deliberately hurt Kuailong, but instead asked it to agree to the battle.

Naoki thought about the relationship between the legendary Pokémon in the Hoenn region in his mind, and soon got the answer.

——Because of Groudon.

Naoki sighed and said to Kuailong: "Forget it this time, you will never do such dangerous things again in the future, do you understand?"

Kuailong was very sad: "Ouch..."

It just wants to catch a big fish and give it to Naoki, just like those fast dragons who work.

Zhi Shu saw Kuai Long's intention. He sighed in his heart, reached out and touched Kuai Long's head and said to it:

"I don't want the biggest fish in the world."

Kuailong raised his head and looked at him blankly.

Zhi Shu stepped forward and hugged Kuai Long again: "Don't do dangerous things. I don't care if there are big fish or not, and I don't care about the gift you gave me. I only care about your safety. Do you understand?"

Kuailong's eyes lit up completely. It stretched out its big paws and hugged Naoki back with emotion: "Ouch!"

Naoki smiled, patted Kuailong on the back and said to it:

"We don't need to take risks, as long as we have enough fish to eat, we can live a peaceful life together as we do now."

Kuailong nodded his head happily.

Only then did Zhi Shu let Kuailong go.

"Okay! Just come back! Mrs. Dantès and the others have been worried about you these two days since you were gone. I will give you some biscuits and poffins later. You can take them over to tell them that you are safe!"

"Ouch~"

Kuailong readily agreed and stayed at the ranch for a while with Zhi Shu before picking up the gifts and flying to Zhiqin Town.

When the Kuailong and Hackron workers in the ranch saw Kuailong flying with joy, they all had confused and doubtful expressions on their faces.

"Ouch?" Did it pick up Baofen on the road? asked a dragon.

For them, picking up a poffin on the road is indeed a happy thing.

The other dragons shook their heads and expressed that they didn't know either.

Not far away, Gu Ledun, who was sitting on the grass basking in the sun, glanced at Kuailong, yawned lazily, then closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the beautiful afternoon.

*

Alliance calendar year 199, February 29th.

Early in the morning, Naoki said goodbye to a group of Pokémon in the pasture and rode Gulton to the Bottle City.

Because this business trip was for agricultural exchanges, I’m afraid I didn’t have much time to play there, not to mention that Beishang Township was still a very remote rural town, so Naoki only brought Guluton and Babutu with him. There are five Pokémon: Dirk, Motorized Lizard, Fluttershy, and Dragonite.

The remaining Pokémon are responsible for staying in the ranch and maintaining the normal operation of the ranch.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Naoki arrived at Boping Airport.

Because Guluton could not be included in the elf ball, he directly bought a ticket for Guluton.

However, due to the huge size of Gullton, the seats on the plane could not accommodate it, so Naoki could only place it in the luggage compartment at the suggestion of the flight attendant.

Seeing Gulton's aggrieved look, Naoki reached out and touched its head: "Be obedient, we'll be there soon!"

"Ah, geez..." Gu Ledun agreed pitifully.

Naoki couldn't bear it, but he had no choice. He didn't know the specific location of Kitakami Township, and there was no way to fly there directly on a Pokémon. The best way to travel across regions was by plane or ship.

Return to the cabin and sit tight, and the plane takes off normally.

Naoki closed his eyes and squinted for a while.

He woke up halfway through, drank some water, went to the bathroom, and then began to sit down and read a book.

I don't know how long it took, but the radio on the plane finally announced that the flight was about to arrive at its destination.

Naoki put away the book, waited until the plane landed, and immediately went to the luggage compartment to find Gulton huddled in the corner, and then kissed him hard on the forehead.

"Poor little guy, I've wronged you. We've arrived at our destination and it's time to go!"

"Ah gah?!" Guluton opened his eyes in disbelief, and then happily responded with a "tongue lick" attack on Naoki.

When the passengers behind him heard those words, they thought it was some small and cute Pokémon like Eevee or Pikachu.

As a result, she took a closer look and found that it was a big guy with a fierce look on his face. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "Where is this little guy?"

Zhi Shu didn't notice the expressions of the others. He got off the plane with Gu Ledun, and immediately went to find the local Pokémon Center. He used the video phone there to contact the ranch and reported to everyone that he was safe.

After all this was done, Naoki took out the map and set off for Beishang Township according to the route planned above.

Since Beishang Township is far away from big cities and in a secluded countryside, if you want to get there, you can only go to the bus station and take a bus.

But with Gullton here, it’s okay even if you don’t have to take the bus.

So, after planning the route, Zhi Shu rode on Gu Ledun's back, flew into the sky, and headed towards Beishang Township.

On the way, Naoki kept looking at the Kitakami Township tour guide he just bought at the airport.

It is said above that Beishang Township is not the name of a certain town, but the general name of a large area.

There is only one town there, called Verdant Town.

It is worth mentioning that this guide said that there are also many legends circulating in Emerald Town.

Among them, what attracts Naoki the most is the legend about the "Ghost of Kitakami Township".

The above is described as follows:

"According to legend, a long time ago, there was a very scary ghost in Beishang Township. The ghost was entrenched in the mountain behind the village. Usually the ghost would scare people who came into the mountain.

One day, the ghost got angry and suddenly came down the mountain, causing the villagers to panic. At this time, Gozan Dog, Yuan Zeng Ape, and Ji Pheasant happened to be in the village.

The three Pokémon risked their lives and finally drove the ghost back to the mountains. The villagers affectionately called the brave Pokémon Pokémon, buried their remains generously, and built statues of Pokémon on top. "

"Interesting." Naoki became interested. Did the Pokémon beat the Pokémon to death?

If there was such content in the game, it was the first time he had seen such a straightforward description of the death of Pokémon.

However, judging from this legend, it seems that the ghost did not die, but was driven into the mountains, and the three treasure companions died instead.

Three against one and was wiped out by the group... How strong must that ghost be?

At this time, Naoki raised his head and glanced ahead. After seeing the scene in the distance clearly, he knew in his heart: Kitakami Township has arrived.

Viewed from a high altitude, there are high mountains towering in Beishang Township, and the area at the foot of the mountains is where people live. There is a rural town full of Japanese style.

The town is surrounded by farmland, apple orchards and other tranquil natural scenery that is different from the Padia area.

"Is this Beishang Township?" Naoki's eyes lit up as he looked at this beautiful pastoral scenery.

I have to say, this place is really good!

He glanced down at the road below, then patted Gulton on the back, signaling it to land.

Because Mayor Thomas said that someone would pick him up at the station and take him to Emerald Town.

When Gulton landed at the bus stop next to the highway, Naoki saw an old lady with white hair there.

He stepped forward and showed his identity plate, and the old woman's face suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"W-where did you come from?"

Naoki smiled slightly, pointed at Gulton behind him and said, "My Pokémon flew me here."

"I was really shocked. I explained that I didn't see the bus, so that's what happened! Hello, Naoki, welcome to Kitakami Township. I'm Yukiko from the public hall. Come on! I'll take you to the town! "The old man named Xuezi said.

"Thank you very much." Naoki thanked him politely, and then he and Gulton followed Yukiko along the cement road.

There is a twelve-hour time difference between Beishang Township and the Padiya area. They spent a lot of time on the road, and it was almost dark when they got here.

Naoki looked around, looking at the Pokémon in the grass not far away that were difficult to see in the Padia area.

Orb silk spider, coyote dog, insect bud...

Gradually, as the distance to Cuirv Town got closer and closer, neat rice fields began to appear on both sides of the road.

What surprised Naoki even more was that in these rice fields, he actually saw the figures of Lobster Soldier and Ubo!

Yukiko introduced in a friendly manner: "Ubo and Lobster Soldier will make the soil in the fields more fertile and help the rice fields grow. A long time ago, the town asked these two Pokémon to help in the rice fields."

A lot of questions arose in Naoki's mind.

Won't the lobster soldiers destroy the rice in the fields?

If he remembered correctly, Ubo's skin and mucous membranes seemed to be poisonous, right?

After passing through the paddy field area, they officially arrived at Emerald Town.

This rural town is not as lively as Zhiqin Town. There are very few people here. To be precise, there are very few young people.

It was evening, and many old people had just finished dinner and were taking a leisurely walk around the town.

The town is paved with complete cement roads and looks very clean and tidy in a typical Japanese style.

Like Ziqin Town, Pokémon can be seen everywhere in this place.

The little wild boar following the trainer, Gugu staying on the roof, and the furry little Vulpix lying on the eaves.

Naoki was immediately attracted by those Vulpix.

Damn it! There is a Vulpix in this place!

The furry and warm Vulpix with a white belly is so cute!

Gu Ledun on the side saw Naoki's eyes, and his face suddenly showed a helpless expression: "Ah, geez..."

It started again.
