Pokémon: Gyarados Evolution

However, Jon did not show any strangeness on his face, and still responded politely:

"Well, my name is Jon, her name is Zhulan, she is my sister. We came from the neighboring Hoenn region."

Although Jon was madly complaining in his heart, he still explained half-truthfully, trying to make his words sound reasonable and credible.

But he did not lie to Zhubei about his origins. He was originally from the Hoenn region, but the times were different.

"So that's it!"

After listening to Jon's explanation, Zhubei looked them up and down again, and seeing Jon and Zhulan's harmless faces, she chose to believe it.

If they were members of the Galaxy Team, she would know most of them, and Jon could subdue the powerful ivory pig, so he must not be an unknown person.

Thinking of this, Zhubei chose to believe Jon's words, and the expression on her face became more friendly.

As she spoke, Zhubei led Jon and Zhulan to the campfire.

The bonfire was burning brightly, crackling and emitting waves of warmth, which dispelled a lot of the coldness around.

At this time, three Nuras came over with juice. After they handed it to Zhubei and the other two, they retreated to the side.

Jon and Zhulan took the juice, thanked them, and took a sip. The sweet and sour taste spread in their mouths, making people feel very comfortable.

Zhubei looked at them with a concerned expression on her face and said, "It's almost winter now. It's cold and the road outside is not easy to walk. You can't continue your journey. Why don't you stay here for a while? When the snow is over and the weather gets better, I will help you find a way back."

Jon and Zhulan looked at each other after hearing this. In fact, they were still completely confused about how to go back.

I had been waiting at Tianguan Mountain before, but after waiting for so long, I was not sure whether my approach was right or not. When I heard Zhubei's proposal, I hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to make a decision.

"That's right!"

Jon seemed to suddenly put down the juice in his hand and looked at Zhubei, "Chief Zhubei, is there a Zoroark nearby? That Zoroark is very powerful."

After all, they were involved in the time tunnel with Zoroark, but who knew that after Zhulan woke up, she searched everywhere around and didn't find any trace of it.

Even Jirachi and Garchomp didn't find any trace of it at the time. After all, it is the only Pokémon that appeared in the modern Washicui region, and it may be a way to go back.

"Hmm?"

After hearing what Jon said, Zhubei showed a little surprise on her face, frowned slightly and said:

"Zoroak is not very common around us. Occasionally, some come from other places to find food, but why are you looking for it?"

"Because we came here with it, but later we lost its clues..."

"Jon, let's stay here."

Just as Jon was speaking, Zhulan suddenly spoke.

"Okay."

Jon agreed without any hesitation, after all, they really had nowhere else to go at the moment.

And Zhulan must have been running around in the wild for a long time, and she must have stayed there long enough. It was not easy for her to wash herself properly every time before.

Although Jon built a bathroom for taking a shower, she had to dry her clothes every time before she came out, which was really too much trouble.

But there was nothing they could do about it. When they went out, they didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected situation, and it was impossible for them to go out with a change of clothes.

"Great."

When Zhubei heard that Jon agreed to stay, she was immediately excited. Her eyes lit up and she said with a smile:

"Our Pearl Team is in need of talents like you. Come on, let us see your strength."

After that, she didn't wait for Jon to respond, and immediately pulled Jon excitedly and walked quickly towards the largest training ground.

"I didn't say I would join the Pearl Team, I just said I would stay here."

Seeing this, Jon hurriedly followed and explained anxiously. He didn't want Zhubei to misunderstand his meaning.

"It's the same!"

Zhubei waved her hand indifferently, believing that as long as Jon stayed, he would definitely join the Pearl Team.

She held Jon's hand without any intention of letting go, and her steps were still fast and urgent, constantly approaching the training ground.

......

After the battle.

Jon and Zhulan followed Zhubei's footsteps and came to a large house in the Pearl Village. This is the cafeteria of the entire village..

Although the permanent population of the Pearl Village is more than a thousand, most people are out collecting supplies, so there are only three or four hundred people left in the village, and these people are eating in the cafeteria.

The news that Jon helped Xiaomei successfully capture the ivory pig and the long-haired pig, and that Jon defeated all the guards, spread in the settlement.

The people here are very simple and honest, and they think Jon and Zhulan are not bad people from the bottom of their hearts, so when they see them come in, everyone is very enthusiastic, with sincere smiles on their faces, and some people greet them warmly.

"Most of the people in the settlement may never leave here far in their lives. For them, going to the seaside to fish may be the farthest distance.

But I often go out, but I haven't been to other places. But when I was in Zhuqing Village, I also got along with people from different places on the Galaxy team."

Zhu Bei patiently explained while leading Jon and Zhulan to the cafeteria.

Indeed, most people in this settlement are simple and honest. Although they know that Jon and Zhulan are outsiders, they all saw and remembered Jon's help to them before, so they were so friendly to them.

"Team Galaxy is not the Galaxy Team in Sinnoh."

Zhulan keenly noticed the doubt on Jon's face, so she moved closer to him and whispered in his ear to explain so that Jon could understand the difference.

"I understand."

After listening to Zhulan's explanation, Jon nodded thoughtfully.

Soon, the aunt in the cafeteria brought up a fragrant long-haired pig leg and placed it on the table in front of Jon, Zhubei and others.

The roasted golden pig leg exuded an attractive aroma, which made people swallow their saliva.

"This is what you caught, you should have the first bite."

Zhubei smiled and took out a knife, skillfully cut the pig leg, cut a piece and put it on Jon's plate.

Then he cut another portion and handed it to Zhulan, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "This is also a celebration of your joining."
