Each Bogaman has a different personality.

Hu Yang discovered that his Bogaman did not refuse the food provided by the trainer as Dr. Yamanashi said.

This is probably because it is closer to me?

However, it is true that he is very competitive.

For example, on the way to Zhuqing City, Populus euphratica met a baby bear trapped on a tree trunk because he wanted to climb a tree to pick fruits.

The small paws, the soft fur, and the light yellow crescent moon on the forehead.

Populus euphratica's eyes were immediately attracted. He took the initiative to run over, hugged the baby bear from the tree, and took the opportunity to stroke it twice. Finally, he helped the baby bear pick the fruit it wanted to pick and gave it to him.

it.

But this scene was seen by Bogaman, and his face immediately showed a shocked expression.

At first, Hu Yang did not notice Bogaman's condition.

It wasn't until he handed the baby bear to the circle bear who came to find the child and waved goodbye to the two bears that he realized that Pogaman had lost his temper.

Pogaman crossed his arms and tilted his head, looking like "I'm angry."

Hu Yang: "..."

Maybe this is what is called being competitive?

If he remembered correctly, Xiaoguang's Pogaman was also angry with Xiaoguang when he saw Xiaoguang caring about other Pokémon.

So, in order to appease Bogaman, Populus euphratica stroked Bogaman hard to prove that it was more plush and cuter than the baby bear.

For another example, when a bad frog blocked the road, Hu Yang wanted Yaya to take action, but Bogaman suddenly jumped out of his arms.

With a serious look on his face, he shouted "boga boga" several times at the bad frog opposite.

It's like making peace with a bad frog.

After a while, the bad frog walked away on his own.

Pogaman's little face was full of arrogance, he patted his chest with his hand and said: "Pogapoga!"

Hu Yang raised his eyebrows: "You mean, if we encounter this kind of thing in the future, you hope that you can be the one to solve it?"

Pogaman nodded his little head: "Poga Poga!" (You can also let me fight when encountering a duel!)

Hu Yang: "..."

Okay, he understands.

This is also a manifestation of Bogaman's competitive spirit.

Hu Yang thought for a moment, and Gengar sneaked out of the elf ball.

Hu Yang glanced at Gengar, nodded with a smile and said, "Then I and everyone else will be entrusted to you to take care of us, Bogaman!"

Pogaman nodded happily: "Poga Poga!"

Then he jumped up and jumped into Populus euphratica's arms, letting him hold his own and continue setting off.

Hu Yang glanced at the time. Five hours had passed since he set off from Zhensha Town. This place was still some distance away from Zhuqing City.

At noon, he found a place with water to rest, then released a few Pokémon and let the Ancient Moon Bird play in the river, while he began to prepare lunch.

Speaking of Zhuqing City, Hu Yang couldn't help but think of the former Zhuqing Village.

Time has passed and the small village has now developed into a modern metropolis.

That annoying guy Magamu has now returned to dust.

"I wonder if Beishang has returned to the Hezhong area." Hu Yang said in his heart.

The Unova region, after he finishes his trip to Sinnoh, he will go there to start a new trip.

However, it's too early to tell now.

After calming down, Hu Yang continued to prepare lunch.

Since we can arrive at Zhuqing City before dark, making this lunch with Populus euphratica is very simple.

After a few Pokémon filled his stomach, he planned to continue setting off.

However, when Hu Yang packed his things and was about to leave the forest, he suddenly heard the screams of Pokémon not far away.

Pogaman, who was outside, also heard it. He turned his head and looked in that direction with a little doubt.

Hu Yang also looked in that direction, and after thinking for a moment, he took Bogaman and walked over.

Soon, Populus euphratica saw a familiar figure in an open space.

That's... Shinji?

Hu Yang was a little surprised.

In front of Shinji, there were two Pokémon standing.

One is a little fire monkey and the other is a Gyarados.

Under Shinji's command, Gyarados used its water gun at the little fire monkey.

The little fire monkey wanted to run away, but Shinji ordered with a serious face: "Don't avoid it."

As expected, the little fire monkey stayed motionless and resisted the water gun, with a painful expression on its face.

Hu Yang understood.

Shinji is improving Pokémon's endurance through special training methods that allow Pokémon to withstand each other's moves.

But this method is too harsh and cruel.

Hu Yang's eyes showed disapproval.

At this time, Shinji heard the movement behind him and turned around.

"Your special training method is too much." Hu Yang frowned slightly.

Bogaman put his hands on his hips and followed Hu Yang in accusing the boy opposite: "Bogaboga!"

Shinji looked at the two of them and immediately recognized the other as the new trainer who had received Bogaman for his trip at Dr. Yamanashi Research Institute.

Looking at the Bogaman, it seemed that he had been accepted.

Shinji didn't react much, but responded in a calm tone:

"I will not allow weak Pokémon to exist in my team. If it can't even withstand this training, it would be better to release it into the wild as soon as possible."

"Besides, there is no point in having a good relationship with Pokémon. Doting on Pokémon too much will only make them weaker and more vulnerable."

Hu Yang said in his heart that he was indeed Shinji, and he asked: "Do you think so?"

Shinji glanced at the Pogaman and asked, "Are you a newcomer who just received Pokémon?"

Hu Yang? Hu Yang’s eyebrows jumped. Why is he regarded as a new trainer when he is so tall?

Although it’s not like there aren’t teenagers who want to pick up Pokémon and go on trips, it’s a bit outrageous to be treated as a new trainer at this age...

Before he could answer, Shinji put Gyarados and the injured little fire monkey into the elf ball, turned around, and prepared to leave:

"When you collect eight gym badges and have enough strength to defeat me, come and teach me a lesson."

After saying that, Shinji raised his feet and left here.

After hearing what he just said, Pogaman was very angry: "Poga Poga!"

Populus euphratica's reaction was not that big.

Because he knew that this was the early Shinji.

Later, after meeting Xiaozhi, his views will slowly change, and he will begin to care about the Pokémon around him.

The only thing Hu Yang didn't expect was...

"Interesting, do you think of me as a new trainer?"

Looking at Shinji's back, at this moment, Hu Yang wanted to know what kind of reaction Shinji would make after knowing his identity.

It's just that Shinji has already gone far, and there is no need for him to chase him to prove his identity to him.

Hu Yang shook his head, turned around, and walked towards the completely opposite path to Shinji.

But, having said that, that little fire monkey should be Ash's main Pokémon in the future, right? Hu Yang thought silently.

…

In the evening, Populus euphratica finally arrived in Zhuqing City.

Standing at the entrance of the city, looking at this prosperous and tall city, for a moment, Populus euphratica's eyes became a little dazed.

He couldn't believe that this was the small village from back then.

This is the first time Populus euphratica has come to Zhuqing City.

He walked in the city, trying to find traces of the past.

But it is a pity that such a long time has passed and everything has changed.
