Pokémon, start your journey from the Donghuang Alliance

Chapter 52: The end of the journey is not important

After eating, Su Yuan asked.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, which gym do you plan to challenge next?"

After coming out of the hotel, Zhuang Yan burped and grinned.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I still have plenty of time. Let's walk around first."

"Don't you have a goal in mind?"

"How do you say something like a goal?"

Zhuang Yan scratched his head and sorted out his words before speaking to Su Yuan.

“It’s good to have a goal, but sometimes don’t pursue it too blindly. After all, life is a journey. The purpose of the journey is not to reach the point, but the scenery along the way is the most important.

I finally came to the south, and I planned to walk around and see a lot. Anyway, there is still some time before the start of the Donghuang League competition, so just take it as it comes. "

“The end of the journey is not the purpose, the scenery along the way is what is ultimately important.”

Su Yuan repeated Zhuang Yan's words in a low voice. He seemed to sense something, but he couldn't put it into words. It was as if he could reach out and touch it, but just a little short of it.

"Brother Su Yuan, what about you? Are you planning to challenge the next gym?"

"Ah, me?"

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment and returned.

"Next I plan to go to Yun Province to challenge the poison gym there."

"Yun Province! Well, that's a good place too. I heard that the rice noodles in Yun Province are good, and there are also wild mushroom feasts."

Zhuang Yan clapped his hands.

"Yes, it's a good place. Thanks to Brother Su Yuan for reminding me, I've decided to go there."

Hearing that Zhuang Yan also planned to go to Yun Province, Su Yuan suggested.

"Really, then maybe we can go together."

"It's not necessary if you're traveling with me."

Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

"It's not easy for you students to have a holiday. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. You should spend the Chinese New Year with your parents at home. My Pokémon and I traveled all the way here, and we will waste a lot of time on the road. If you come with me, If so, I’m afraid I won’t be able to reach Yun Province before the Chinese New Year.”

While joking, Su's father drove the car to the entrance of the hotel.

"Get in the car, little brother Zhuang Yan, let's get in the car and go to our house for two days. Although our place is a small county, the scenery is pretty good."

"No uncle."

Zhuang Yan rejected Su's father's invitation.

"I plan to play here for two days, and then I will go to Yun Province. Anyway, I have left my contact information. I will come and play with you one day after I collect all eight badges."

"That's it, then you must come and play with us then."

"I know, I will definitely do it."

"Remember to call."

Before Zhuang Yan took a taxi and left, Su Yuan was still greeting Zhuang Yan and remembering to call him back. Zhuang Yan yelled and got in the car and left.

"Gee, what an interesting guy."

Seeing Zhuang Yan go away, Su's father said cheerfully.

Su Yuan, on the other hand, was sitting in the passenger seat thinking about something.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yuan, you and little brother Zhuang Yan hit it off right away, are you reluctant to part ways now?"

"What are you talking about? Brother Zhuang Yan is quite interesting. I do feel a little bit reluctant to let go, but I'm not thinking about him."

"Then what are you thinking about? If you are young, don't always look sad. Tell me and see if I can help you solve it."

Su Yuan was silent for a moment and said.

"Dad, do you think I can catch up with this year's Donghuang League competition?"

Suddenly there was silence in the car.

It took a long time for Su's father to speak.

"Xiaoyuan, it's a good thing to have ideals. I support you if you want to participate in the league competition, but sometimes, we have to be realistic."

"Too."

Su Yuan smiled awkwardly.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became awkward again, Su's father said.

"But you can definitely give it a try after you graduate. After you graduate, you can devote yourself to Pokémon training. If you need anything, just tell me, dad, and I will fully support you."

"Thank you dad."

Su Yuan is very lucky that he has a father who supports him and a mother who cares about him. Whether before or after the world line change, my parents cared about me so much and supported me in pursuing my dreams.

Just like before, all relatives were not optimistic about Su Yuan studying biology at university, but Su's father supported him without hesitation. Now, Su Yuan wants to challenge the Donghuang League competition, but Su's father still chooses to support him.

"Why are you thanking me? I am your father. I support my son. Is there anything else I can thank you for?"

Father Su asked cheerfully.

"By the way, when do you plan to go to Yun Province to challenge the gym?"

Su Yuan thought for a moment and replied.

"Let Guisi and Mibulim take a rest in two days. But it won't take too long. I plan to finish it before the end of the year."

"That's right, finish it early and come back to celebrate the New Year. How about you, are you confident about the second gym? I heard that the gyms in Yun Province use poison. Is it dangerous?"

"Don't worry, there won't be any danger. But Dora is not afraid of poison, and Guisi himself is not afraid of poison."

"Really, that's good, that's good."

The father and son chatted for a while. Su Yuan felt a little tired and sat back on a chair.

"Dad, let me take a nap. Call me when you get home."

"Okay, you go ahead."

Just when Su Yuan's eyes were blurred and his consciousness was lost, there was the sound of golden finger.

[Congratulations to the host for achieving this achievement, a small step for a trainer.

Achievement reward: Zero fruit, store redemption is opened simultaneously.

A series of missions begins: Forging a Legend.

Mission description: Obtain eight gym badges from the Donghuang Alliance, challenge the Donghuang Alliance, and become the champion.

Series mission one: Osmanthus Gym challenge completed.

Rewards: Battle points*10,000, dust-proof goggles, secret skill machine*1]

Su Yuan opened his eyes suddenly.

Good guy, the system is still delayed. I was almost home after playing the gym, and you didn't respond until I got there.

If the system hadn't come on unexpectedly, Su Yuan would have almost forgotten that in addition to being a store, this system could also issue tasks.

Ten thousand battle points is neither too much nor too little. After all, when he was in school, Su Yuan saved a lot from his dear roommates, which could barely cover the expenses of two foodies.

However, these dust-proof goggles are a bit interesting. In the game, Pokémon can be immune to dust-type moves after wearing dust-proof goggles. He was a little curious about how a Pokémon could wear these dust-proof goggles in the real world. ,

Mibulim is lucky to say that Ghost's body is almost in a gas state. Can he wear it? Also, are you sure you can wear the dust-proof mirror on Kodora? Is it too small? After all, Kodora is indeed a bit big.

Moreover, Su Yuan, who is best at dust-type moves, has successfully challenged the grass-type gym. Because this is his first time to challenge the gym, the Pokémon levels of the gym trainers are not high, so not many of them know those dirty moves. .

If I had to say it, maybe the Poison-type gyms in Yun Province could spring up. After all, there are quite a few Poison-type Pokémon that know such dirty skills, and Ghost is one of them.

Chapter 53, traveling together

After two days of repairing at home, Su Yuan finally packed up and set off. They were only going out for two days, so Su Yuan only prepared two sets of changes of clothes, and not much more than a backpack.

"Stay safe out there."

"Remember to call back when we arrive."

Su's father and mother at the station kept asking Su Yuan, who was preparing to take the high-speed train to Yun Province.

"Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've traveled far."

Su Yuan waved goodbye to his parents and walked towards the waiting hall. Su's father and mother left only when they knew they would never see Su Yuan's back again.

In the waiting hall, Su Yuan took a look at the train timetable, made sure it was not delayed or missed, and then found a place to sit down.

"Huh~!"

Su Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the advertisement on the wall of the hall.

In the advertisement, the train travels between mountains, across grasslands, and across a wild Pokémon sanctuary.

On the train, there are high-level Pokémon trainers escorting the whole city, and they are equipped with advanced wild Pokémon driving devices to ensure the safety of the journey.

However, Su Yuan's mind was not on that at all. He looked at the natural scenery on the screen and felt a little dazed for a moment.

"Traveling?"

"Hey! Brother Su Yuan!"

Just when Su Yuan was in a trance, a familiar voice sounded.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Su Yuan saw a familiar figure.

"Brother Zhuang Yan!?"

The man walking towards him was Zhuang Yan, who was included in this travel package.

"Haha, it's really you, brother Su Yuan. I thought I saw it wrong."

Seeing that he had recognized the right person, Zhuang Yan happily sat down next to Su Yuan.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, didn't you say you were going to travel all the way to Yun Province before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Zhuang Yan scratched his head and smiled.

"Hey, actually I have been struggling with this matter for several days."

"Tangled? What are you tangled up in?"

Su Yuan asked with some confusion.

Zhuang Yan explained.

"After I said goodbye to you and my uncle that day, I thought about it for a long time in the hotel and realized that I hadn't seen my family for a long time, so I thought about whether I should go back and have a look.

However, I thought that it would be a pity to give up now after halfway through the trip.

In this way, I struggled in the hotel for two days, and finally decided to go back and have a look. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming, and what we Donghuang people like most is a family reunion. "

"I see."

Su Yuan smiled and patted Zhuang Yan on the shoulder.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, I'm going to say a few words to you. You're really over the top."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"I never think that going home is the end of the journey. On the contrary, home should be a haven where we can take shelter during our travels. Although the scenery outside is beautiful, there will always be times when we are tired after a long trip, and home is when we are tired. A place where we can take shelter from wind and rain.

When we take a short rest and adjust ourselves, we will be able to travel better, right? "

After listening to Su Yuan's words, Zhuang Yan was silent for a moment and finally burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, what you say makes sense. I didn't expect that, brother Su Yuan, you actually have such an opinion. It's because I have been taught. As expected, those who have gone to school know more than me, who has not gone to school much. ah."

Zhuang Yan's laughter immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, making Su Yuan strangely embarrassed.
