The back, for any elf, is a place that represents dignity and strength, and no one is allowed to trample on it.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, they will never allow anyone to ride on them.

This is why Marshado was so shocked after seeing Suicune's behavior.

Suicune came to Populus euphratica and bent down slightly to make it easier for him to ride up.

Populus euphratica: "?"

It seemed like something happened that he didn't know about.

Hu Yang pointed at himself in surprise and asked: "Are you going to let me sit on it?"

Suicune turned his head and looked at him, nodding slightly.

This opportunity cannot be missed.

After the elves had finished their breakfast, Populus euphratica packed up the sleeping bags and remaining garbage, and took back the Poké Balls from the Slowpoke and Slowpoke placed outside.

After putting on his backpack, he sat firmly on Suicune's body.

Marchado quietly sneaked into the shadow of Populus euphratica.

The Phoenix King's feathers have not lost their vitality, which means that the human boy in front of him still has the qualifications to become the Hero of the Rainbow.

It cannot leave until the light on the feather dims, and needs to stay in the shadow until it guides this human to complete the trial of the Rainbow Hero.

This is Machado's mission, and it is also the responsibility bestowed upon it by the Phoenix King.

Not only it, but also Suicune, Entei, and Raikou.

When the trial is going on, they need to stay with the chosen person throughout the process.

While monitoring them, they are also testing whether the brave man and his companions have a righteous heart.

This kind of behavior is not so much surveillance as it is a kind of protection. In order to ensure the safety of the Rainbow Heroes, he protects them all the way.

This section of the road is Suicune.

Later on, it will be replaced by Emperor Yan, and finally Thunder God.

The content of the test for each holy beast is different.

Only with the recognition of these three can one truly pass the test and become the Rainbow Hero.

This point was not clearly shown in the theatrical version, but was implicitly expressed through the profound plot of the encounter and separation between Xiaozhi and his friends.

Therefore, Populus euphratica did not know about it.

The existence of Marshado is to magnify the dark side of the hearts of the chosen people during the journey and see how they will make choices when faced with this situation.

Now Populus euphratica feels so good that it feels so good that it even wants to scream like Tarzan.

In addition to purifying water, Suicune seems to have the magical ability to control the flow of wind.

Sitting on it, the wind blowing in front of him was like the waves when encountering a rock, parting in front of him and closing behind him.

Sitting on Suicune's body, he was not affected by the wind at all.

Look, what is a suitable elf mount?!

It's fast and can't handle the northwest wind. This ability can't be changed by a hundred wind speed dogs!

This is the first time in the world that Populus euphratica has had such an exciting experience.

The surrounding scenes turned into afterimages, quickly retreating back.

Following Suicune's elegant take-off, the shadows of the trees immediately disappeared, and a large amount of sunlight poured down from the sky.

It's like jumping from a world of shadows into a world of sunshine.

On the green field in the distance stands a small human town.

In the sunshine, it looks particularly peaceful and beautiful.

Gumei Town has arrived.

Hu Yang excitedly rolled off Suicune, took out his camera and took a photo with it.

Suicune's photo, get it!

After taking the photo, Suicune stood there and stared at Populus euphratica.

A gentle north wind blew by, and Populus euphratica seemed to be aware of it, and asked: "Are you leaving?"

Suicune nodded.

"Won't you come with us?" Hu Yang felt a little regretful. Although Suicune behaved so arrogantly in the anime, he still wanted to conquer this Suicune.

Hearing this, Suicune shook his head.

It turned around, glanced at Populus euphratica, and then disappeared into the dense jungle.

Hu Yang: "..."

Well, Suicune should also have his own things to do.

However, his journey is still going on, and there will definitely be opportunities to meet again in the future.

Thinking of this, Hu Yang's eyes were filled with longing and expectation.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to press the brim of his hat like Chihong did.

I feel like that would be cool.

So Hu Yang decided to go to Gumei Town to buy a red cap of the same style.

After he turned around and left, Suicune's figure appeared again from behind a big tree.

It stood in the wind, silently watching the young man's leaving figure.

…

Gumei Town is also called Guchen Town.

In the game, it is the first town that players arrive at with the elf center and friendly shops.

The real Gumei Town does not have many modern high-rise buildings like other large towns, but retains the image of sparse buildings in the game.

There is no department store here, instead there is a blue-roofed building called the "Friendly Store".

The only difference from the game is that the friendly shop in the game only sells props such as wound medicine and elf balls.

The friendly shops here, in addition to these, also sell some daily necessities needed for travel.

Hu Yang found a popular red and white hat inside. After paying the money, he put it on outside, called Gengar out, and asked: "How do you feel? Is it cool?"

Although Gengar didn't know what cool meant, he still cooperated: "Cool!"

Hu Yang was very happy and decided to wear it all the time.

While wandering around Gumei Town, Hu Yang saw a bookstore on the roadside.

He thought for a moment, released King Daizhi, took it into the bookstore, and said, "Daizhi, do you want to read a book?"

He plans to teach King Daidai how to read and some knowledge about human society.

Meow Meow can build machines, and maybe his Slow King can too.

Looking at the dazzling array of books around him, King Dude felt like he was surrounded by a mountain of books.

As a super-type Pokémon, it seemed to have predicted its own future, and suddenly said with a headache: "It's really nerve-wracking."

But seeing the expectant look on Populus euphratica's face, it didn't refuse.

The clerk next to him covered his mouth in surprise: "Talking Slow King, my God! This is simply incredible!"

"Hello, please wrap these up for me, thank you." Hu Yang interrupted the clerk's shock.

He held a pile of books in his hands, ranging from basic understanding of numbers, to slightly more difficult mechanical manufacturing and research, to the following internal connections between the development of human society and Pokémon.

It also includes "How to become a qualified breeder", "Training methods of super elves", "How to make energy cubes", "Food Encyclopedia" and so on.

These books are not only prepared for King Slow, but also for himself and Gengar.

Because the wisdom and thinking ability displayed by the two of them are far higher than those of Yaya and the others.

When a person travels alone, there will always be some things that he cannot remember or take care of.

At this time, someone needs to help him share some of the work.

Gengar and Slow King are extremely suitable for this job.

After piling a pile of books into Geng Gui's body, Hu Yang left the bookstore with satisfaction.

In the sunlight, his shadow slanted slightly to the west.

Seeing this scene, Hu Yang suddenly thought of the missing Marshado.

That little guy isn't still in his shadow, is he?

At this time, Mashado, who was staying in the shadow world and silently observing the real world, noticed that Populus euphratica's eyes stayed on the shadow.

Their eyes met for a moment across the edge of the two worlds.
