A river runs through the dense forest from north to south.
As the eastern region of Hoenn is affected by more rainfall, the vegetation coverage and lushness here are much greater than those in the west.
There are even many big trees that are hundreds of meters high growing here, and the tree house in Yinyu City is built on the big trees here.
When Cypress arrived, it happened to be lightly raining. Many water-loving Pokémon were shuttled among the trees, and many fish Pokémon could be seen floating on the water.
Among them there are many Pokémon that are hard to find in the west, such as Uglyfish and Heartfish.
The heterochromatic Menas is very happy with this environment, swimming happily against the river, displaying its charm freely under the admiring attention of the surrounding aquatic Pokémon.
Even on rainy days, its scales exude a breathtaking brilliance.
shore.
"Do you think it's the influence of Kyogre and Groudon that lead to such subtle climate differences between the east and west sides of Hoenn?" He asked in a low voice on his cell phone with Sister Duolong above his head, wearing a raincoat.
The polygon.
A response came immediately from the loudspeaker.
"Hmm, you mean Groudon and Kyogre live in the west and east of the Hoenn region respectively, so they have an impact on the natural environment based on their characteristics?"
Two synchronized voices sounded, one from the left and one from the right, accompanied by the sound of rolling waves and two cheers of joy.
"Ah, it's so difficult." "Pah."
"Take your time, aren't I practicing with you? And what you just said is indeed what I was thinking."
Kashiwagi turned his head sideways and looked at the heterochromatic Menas walking upwards in the river not far away, as well as the Porygon and the multi-dragon brothers hugging its body and laughing.
The three Pokémon looked like they were having a great time.
It's just that one of them was a little absent-minded, as if he was paying attention to something.
The special version [Stand-in], although it has been successfully released due to Porygon's efforts, the clone and the main body have fallen into a state of mental synchronization for some reason.
To put it simply, if you call it, you only need one of them to respond, but both its body and its clones will respond -
It's not that there are two "I's", but both "I's" are me.
[Two uses at once].
Kashiwagi couldn't help but feel regretful when he discovered this, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He had thought about what if the substitute became an independent individual and expressed that it did not want to disappear and wanted to continue living when its attribute energy and physical strength were exhausted, what should he, as a trainer, do?
He must be trying hard to get the other Porygon to stay!
But in that case, can the stand-in Porygon still successfully play one-on-two with the main body?
It definitely won't work.
As long as the avatar does not disappear, the alliance will naturally make up for this special rule that belongs to the Porygon family, just like the multi-dragon Baruto.
"Aren't you going to play together?"
Kashiwagi raised his head and asked Sister Duolong on his head.
"Hehe!"
Sister Duolong shook her head firmly. Although she wanted to go over and play surfing together, surfing seemed very interesting, but she had to maintain a serious and reliable image in front of her younger brother.
"...Well, if you want to go there, you can go there anytime, don't feel embarrassed."
he said softly.
Sister Duolong shook her head again, so she was not embarrassed!
Kashiwagi retracted his gaze. It was really taxing on his eyes to keep trying to look above his head. After a long time, he felt that his whole eyeballs would roll over.
Just carry a small mirror with you.
he thought to himself.
The Pokémon I follow today is Minus, and it just so happens that Route 119 has a river that connects the north and the south, so it's perfect.
The reason why he released the Doron Mecia siblings was because he believed that if he wanted to initially gain Doron Baruto's favor, he had to win over the Doron Mecia siblings.
As long as there is more
The Dragon Mecia siblings all obeyed him, and Doron Baruto, who hoped to make the two of them his partners, naturally had to obey him obediently.
After getting a head start, try to use the Dragon Heart to have heart-to-heart communication with Dragon Baruto.
certainly.
He had to master the Dragon's Heart first. Relatively speaking, the more gentle and friendly Duolong Mexia siblings were undoubtedly a better training target. After all, they were not familiar with each other yet.
Like the three evil dragons who stick their butts out and know what to poop, I really don’t know how to exchange information with their hearts. Just a look is enough.
"My love for dragon-type Pokémon..."
Kashiwagi fell into deep thought. He thought he liked dragon-type Pokémon, but it seemed that he still needed to go one step further.
suddenly.
The drizzle started to get heavier.
It hit his raincoat and made a crackling sound, and a faint flash of thunder appeared in the dark clouds in the sky.
"Stop! Let's find a place to hide!" Kashiwagi immediately called out to Minas in the river. Although the latter didn't have all the fun, he still returned to the shore obediently, twisting and sliding like a snake.
Go ashore.
Brother Duolong flew towards him like a bullet. He was covered in water and tried to get into his raincoat without even thinking.
"Don't!"
Kashiwagi didn't think about the dripping water on his head, and quickly put it back into the elf ball, preparing to find a place that could shelter from the rain and wipe it clean.
Unfortunately, the cave was not found. He only found a tree hole big enough.
And it is a tree hole with an owner.
"...Hello? I just want to take shelter from the rain! Please translate for me."
Kashiwagi waved his hand at the four wild meerkats that were lying down in the cave but raised their heads to look over. The polygonal beasts immediately let out a snapping sound.
The meerkats looked at each other.
"Meow!"
"Meow--"
Terrifying low roars rang in his ears. Judging from the frizzy bodies of these guys, they were obviously threatening him to get out.
But how could Cypress, who had finally found a shelter from the rain, leave?
"Menas! Hypnosis!"
Menas on his side swam forward, his eyes slightly glowing with blue light, and the pink-purple light waves spread forward, directly affecting the two threatening ones at the front, and their eyelids instantly became heavy as they were caught off guard.
The two at the back saw something bad and flew out with a roar, but because the environment was too narrow, they inevitably collided with their companions in front of them several times.
He looked inexplicably embarrassed.
"Angled!"
The polygon turned into an irregular wall, blocking the attack route of the two mongooses, and hysterical howls suddenly came from inside the tree hole.
Immediately after the white light flashed, the wall that the polygon transformed into disappeared like smoke.
Two furious meerkats escaped from the trap.
But at this moment, Menas's next hypnotic spell is already waiting for them.
then.
There were four sleeping big white cats beside Kashiwagi.
In order to let them sleep peacefully for a long time, he even took out some sleeping essence, and the expressions of the four meerkats instantly changed from struggling to relaxing.
"Peaceful solution~"
He smiled at all the Pokémon.
Whether it's beating these wild meerkats to death or driving them out to soak in the rain, it's not what I want. It's best for everyone to stay quietly and hide from the rain.
Kashiwagi took off his raincoat, released the Doron brother from the ball and wiped it clean with a towel. Fortunately, Doron Mecia, a Pokémon based on a salamander, had no down on its body and had only scales, so it could be wiped clean with a towel.
"Hehe~"
Brother Duolong shook his body, and his eyes drifted towards Meerkat Zhan deep in the tree hole, his eyes lit up, "Hehe——"
Snap!
Sister Duolong silently pulled its tail and hit it on the head with a paw, "Hehe!"
I knew you would definitely go there to cause trouble!
Brother Duolong covered his head in grievance, "Hehe~"
"Hahaha... don't worry. As long as you don't attack them, they won't wake up easily. You have to believe in the power of hypnosis and aromatherapy."
Kashiwagi laughed and patted their heads, sniffing them twice with a strange expression.
As he said before, one of the characteristics of wild Pokémon is that their fur is stained with various unique fishy smells, which can be described as the smell of beasts.
This smell is mixed with aromatherapy...but it has a different flavor?
He couldn't help but take out the aromatherapy manual and rummage through it, and sure enough, he found a lot of "experimental" formulas that used body fluids of animal Pokémon to make aromatherapy.
The above indicates that these aromatherapy are often not accepted by the public due to their slightly weird smell, but in fact they are quite effective.
"It's effective..."
Kashiwagi looked at the various effects written above and found that it was a medical aromatherapy of another level, mainly aimed at improving depression and clearing away many negative emotions.
Some of them also have the effect of stimulating Pokémon's emotions, making them hot-blooded and restless.
Berserker Potion?
He thought to himself, feeling a little itchy and wanted to make a bottle, but he looked at his surroundings and had no choice but to give up.
Not long after.
The heavy rain outside the tree hole has a tendency to gradually slow down and stop.
Kashiwagi waved his hand to the four sleeping meerkats, then placed a few energy cubes in front of them, and marveled at the fluffy feel he just felt. Pokémon with large fur is really nice.
Unfortunately, most dragon-type Pokémon are the type covered in scales.
Continue along the river towards Yinyu City.
Unexpectedly, after walking less than a kilometer, the outline of a building appeared faintly at the front of the dense forest.
"Is this a haunted house in the deep mountains and old forests?"
He blinked. There were all kinds of old houses in the animation, and every one of them showed signs of being haunted. In fact, the people messing around inside were basically ghost Pokémon.
Since his journey to the spirit world, Kashiwagi's fear of various ghosts has been greatly reduced. Perhaps he has seen the reason why ghosts do nothing in the face of absolute strength.
But when I got closer, Kashiwagi realized that it was a hotel.
He looked at the sign next to the gate and instantly fell into memories.
"The Resentful Shadow Doll Hotel...ah, it's Xiaosheng's Resentful Shadow Doll!"
In the animated feature film, Xiao Sheng once formed a friendship with a Shadow Doll who likes to scare people in an old house. After discovering that the supernatural events in the house came from the Shadow Doll, the owner of the house decided to use the Shadow Doll to help him.
The power of building a hotel.
This must be the one in front of you.
But the Shadow Shadow dolls were all taken away by Xiao Sheng...
Beep beep.
He pressed the iron doorbell, which immediately opened automatically, revealing the carefully manicured lawns on both sides and many shrubs that looked like Shadow Dolls. From here alone, you could tell that this was not a haunted house.
Unless it is interested in gardening or what it sees is an illusion, no ghost Pokémon can mow the lawn.
At the same time, the wooden door of the mansion at the end of the line of sight opened inside.
A woman in a small dress bowed from him, followed by a Shadow Doll.
"Welcome to Shadow Doll Hotel, do you have a reservation?"
"Uh, sorry no."
Kashiwagi responded softly, staring at the Resentful Shadow Doll with a puzzled face.
Didn't it go away with Xiao Sheng? Could it be the wild Shadow Doll that Xiao Sheng later tamed elsewhere?
When he entered the hotel lobby, he saw the second and third Shadow Dolls, and then he realized that there were more Shadow Dolls in the hotel.
"If you don't have a reservation..."
The woman in the little dress looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry that the rooms are reserved in advance, so I can't just take them."
"It's okay. Does your hotel provide lunch? You can also lend me the kitchen." Kashiwagi smiled and said,
It was so wet outside that I really couldn't turn on the stove, so I originally planned to eat the emergency dry food in my bag.
"Of course you can borrow the kitchen!"
The woman in the little dress nodded immediately and took him to the spacious and bright kitchen, "You can use the ingredients here as you like as a small compensation for your inability to stay. If you have any questions, you can come to me. My name is Amy.
Li."
So generous?
Kashiwagi nodded clearly, "Thank you, Miss Emily."
Although I picked a lot of fungi and wild vegetables along the way, the quality of artificially cultivated fruits and vegetables is ultimately different.
Let’s show off our skills and capture Doron Baruto!
He put on his apron and decided to make a meal that would move the guy to tears, and he started to pinch him from many aspects!
Lean less.
An extremely alluring aroma came from the kitchen and echoed in the nearby hallway.
A passing Shadow Doll was lured by it and flew in directly through the kitchen door. He immediately saw a stranger standing in front of the stove, with two strange-looking Pokémon surrounding the wok, with salivating expressions on their faces.
expression.
"Hmm? Were you attracted by the scent?"
Kashiwagi turned his head and saw the Resentment Doll and smiled and said, "Would you like to share a bowl with you later?"
"Bo!"
The Shadow Doll nodded crazily and flew outside again.
Um?
Gone?
...Is this guy looking for other companions to share with him?
Kashiwagi felt uneasy, and soon this uneasiness became a reality. Shadow dolls of different sizes came out of the wall, and there were more than a dozen of them, making their figures flying above the kitchen.
Sure enough.
He sighed.
Sister Duolong looked at these resentful shadow dolls with caution, but younger brother Duolong rushed over to play with those resentful shadow dolls. The former didn't even have time to catch it, so he rushed in to catch the guy with an angry look on his face.
.
"What a big-hearted naughty kid..."
Seeing this, Kashiwagi thought to himself, but fortunately his sister is here, so he can worry less.
The disappearance of the Shadow Doll quickly attracted the attention of the person in charge, Miss Emily, who groped her way to the kitchen and was soon seduced by the fragrant aroma.
"Eh? It smells so good!"
One more!
He bared his teeth and said to Emily, "Would you like a bowl too?"
"No...sorry for the trouble!"
Emily's nose moved slightly, and her words suddenly took a turn.
Half an hour later.
Kashiwagi, who was forced to double the size of his lunch, looked at the cheerful Shadow Dolls and Miss Emily who was full of surprise, and finally his eyes fell on Doron Baruto.
This guy refused to eat the food he provided two days ago. He refused for about a minute and then quickly picked it up when he turned his head.
But its mouth was obviously not that flexible, so when Kashiwagi turned his head, he happened to see it chewing as fast as possible while leaking food.
The scene became very embarrassing for a while.
Fortunately, Doronbaruto was very thick-skinned. Although he felt a little humiliated, he still chose to follow the purest appetite.
So now you can see it is eating with a stinking face, looking very upright.
Tsk tsk tsk.
See how long you can hold on!
Kashiwagi is convinced by the allure of luminous cuisine.
Suddenly.
He saw a red light on the top of the head of a Resentful Shadow Doll next to him, followed by a streak of red light flying out from Doronbaruto's body and continuously entering the Resentful Shadow Doll's body.
"This is the special ability of the Shadow Dolls. They feed on many negative emotions. Our hotel is popular because the Shadow Dolls can absorb the negative emotions of tourists... Your Pokémon seems to be in a bad mood? Why is it?
Already?"
Emily explained in time, but then said doubtfully.
Kashiwagi responded: "I just conquered it not long ago, this guy is a little unconvinced, it's not a big problem."
