According to what Mashado said, Emperor Yan seems to be here in the Hoenn region.
Hu Yang originally wanted to go out to find it immediately, but Gengar said that some ghost Pokémon were attracted by the stone slab they just took out...
Seeing this, Hu Yang could only postpone the matter of finding Emperor Yan, and instead go to drive away the ghost Pokémon that gathered in the ecological park.
After he finished this, he learned from Mashado that the aura of Emperor Yan had gradually faded away.
Hearing this, Populus euphratica could only choose to give up.
Marshado just settled down in the ecological park.
Hu Yang promised it not to tell anyone about its departure from the shadow world.
After the trip outside, Hu Yang felt lazy.
All day long I would either sit in the ecological garden with a bowl of nut snacks and bask in the sun, or lie in bed and sleep until late at night.
At first, the lively fire dinosaur would crawl upstairs, pull off the quilt, and let Populus euphratica take it out to play.
But after an invasion of cold air, the fire dinosaurs never came again.
There's no other reason than it's too cold outside.
In response, Gengar laughed at the Fire Dinosaur, a fire-type Pokémon, for being so afraid of the cold.
Hu Yang and Gengar stood aside and shook their heads.
The days passed like this day by day.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the middle of November.
With the arrival of winter, it snowed here in Weibai Town, and the cold current blowing from the sea made the temperature here become even colder.
Hu Yang put new scarves on all the Pokémon and played with them on the snow in the courtyard making snowmen.
Looking at Gengar squatting on the ground rolling snowballs, Populus euphratica thought of what happened last winter.
He stepped forward and built a big fat snowman in the shape of Gengar, and said to it, "Look, does it look like you?"
Gengar stood there pretending to be angry: "Gengar!" (I'm not that fat!)
"Slightly!" Populus euphratica made a face at it.
Gengar turned around and decided to ignore this childish trainer.
At this time, the fire dinosaur and the axodontosaurus built a strange snowman.
The fire dinosaur carefully put a scarf on it with its paws, ran over and asked Populus euphratica for credit: "Fire!"
Hu Yang: "..."
He wanted to say that your trainer's head was not that big, but seeing the shining eyes of the Fire Dinosaur and Axiodon, he decided not to undermine their self-confidence for the time being.
So, Populus euphratica praised without conscience: "The pile is really beautiful!"
The fire dinosaur was very happy: "Fire!"
Turn around and build a new snowman.
Next to them, La Lulas and Rose Leiduo also worked together to build two exquisite and cute snowmen.
They also happily showed the snowman to Populus euphratica.
Hu Yang turned around and saw one tall and two short. Although it was very crude, he could still tell that the tall snowman was him.
The two short snowmen next to them are Rose Redo and La Lulas respectively.
She is truly a clever girl.
Hu Yang was very happy. He turned to look at the big-headed dolls piled up by the Fire Dinosaur and Axiodon, and couldn't help but curse:
As expected of two boys, in terms of dexterity and dexterity, they are still no match for the two girls, La Lulas and Rose Redo.
One person and a few Pokémon happily played together all morning.
At the end, Populus euphratica called out the ancient moonbirds and lightning birds who lived in the ecological park, and took a group photo with them in front of the snowman.
The upper part of the background is an endless blue sky and white clouds, while the lower part is a snowfield covered with various patterns of footprints.
In the snow, there are a few strange-looking snowmen piled here and there.
Looking at the group photo above, Hu Yang felt very satisfied.
Gengar didn't have a body during the last Chinese New Year, but everyone is here during the Chinese New Year.
He returned to his room, wrote the date on the back of the photo, and put it in his travel album.
In the afternoon, Populus euphratica rode a lightning bird to clear the snow that fell on the isolation cover above the ecological park.
It's New Year's Eve in two weeks.
After clearing the snow, Populus euphratica took a few Pokémon and went out to buy new year's goods.
Gengar's favorite mushrooms, Fire Dinosaur's lava cake, Zapdos' crispy dried eel, etc.
After the heavy snowfall, the entire roof of Weibai Town was covered with a thick layer of snow.
Because of the Chinese New Year, people also began to decorate their shops and houses with decorations such as ribbons and lanterns, and the town was filled with a cheerful atmosphere for a while.
People on the street are followed by all kinds of Pokémon, like family members and partners, with happy expressions on their faces.
Hu Yang looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
He turned around and walked around the department store with his Pokémon.
The specialty dark gray rice crackers I bought at the department store last time were eaten by several Pokémon as snacks.
Hu Yang bought dozens more boxes for them and gave them all to the department store employee Guili, who helped drive them there.
These strange forces have already gotten to know Populus euphratica. When they saw their old acquaintance, they showed happy smiles on their faces. One of them stood not far away and showed off its toned muscles.
Hu Yang: "..."
I don’t quite understand you muscular men.
The department store here in Weibai Town does not have the same free market as Chenghua City.
Instead, a New Year's Eve market was opened on the seaside.
But that place would only open at night, so Populus euphratica returned to the ecological park first, sat on the sofa with popcorn, and closed the curtains, creating a dark environment.
Then I found a scary Pokémon movie and started watching it.
The movie tells the story of three evil dragons who, after losing their three heads, stopped passing Pokémon in the wild and asked them if they had seen their own heads.
If the answer is yes, then you have to take it to look for it. If you can't find it, the three evil dragons will pick off the head of the passing Pokémon and put it on your neck.
On the contrary, if the answer is not seen, then the three evil dragons will directly take off the opponent's head.
Not to mention, the movie special effects in this world are quite good.
Populus euphratica looked at it with gusto and ate the whole bucket of popcorn in his hand.
However, when the movie ended and he turned on the light, he saw several Pokémon with frightened faces.
Hu Yang: "...Is it so scary?"
The fire dinosaur was timid, and even his voice changed its tone: "Fire..."
Hu Yang: "..."
The direct consequence of this incident was that the fire dinosaurs and axodonts no longer dared to sleep in the cave.
At night, as soon as Populus euphratica got into bed, she heard a knock on the door from outside.
Then, he saw two pitiful heads poking out from the crack in the door.
Hu Yang: "..."
Gengar appeared and chuckled, "Two cowards!"
The fire dinosaur and the axodontosaurus looked full of grief and anger: "Fire!"
"That's all." Hu Yang sighed helplessly and said, "Come in!"
The fire dinosaur rushed over happily, and the Axetodon followed behind and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of their body parts, neither of them can go to bed.
Hu Yang thought for a while, got up and got out of bed, and took out the nest used by Axetodon and Fire Dinosaur from another room.
Although they are a bit small for the current situation, it is still enough for one night.
"Nata~" The Axetooth dragon breathed a heavy sigh of relief, laid its body except for its tail into its nest, and closed its eyes in relaxation.
Lalulas and Gardevoir were resting in the ecological park, while Roseredo lived with the walking grass.
Perhaps due to racial differences, they don't seem too scared of today's horror movie.
Hu Yang asked Gengar to turn off the lights.
The flames on the fire dinosaur's tail illuminated the room brightly in the darkness.
Populus euphratica was lying on the bed, and soon the reassuring and even breathing sounds of the fire dinosaur and the axodon came to his ears.
This sound gives Populus euphratica the feeling of a cat snoring.
Unknowingly, a hint of sleepiness arose in his mind.
…
The next day.
Hu Yang originally thought about going to the night market last night, but because the fire dinosaurs were a little scared, he had to give up that plan.
It was only now that he took Gengar to the beach night market on the beach.
The sea breeze at night is very cold, but the atmosphere in the night market is very lively.
There are sellers of octopus balls, sushi, and the red Magikarp.
Hu Yang bought two octopus balls and ate them with Gengar while walking on the beach.
When he came here this time, Hu Yang wanted to join in the fun and didn't want to buy anything in particular.
But the idea only lasted until he saw a guitar at a garage sale stall.
Populus euphratica stopped.
Geng Gui swallowed the octopus balls in his mouth, looked up and saw his gaze, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"I want that." Hu Yang looked at the guitar and said.
When he was in college, he learned a little bit from his roommate, but now he suddenly saw something he was familiar with, and suddenly felt an itch in his hands.
Hearing this, Gengar looked down at his stomach in confusion: "Gengar..." (But I have no money...)
Hu Yang was stunned for a moment and said happily: "I didn't ask you to buy it for me."
Gengar: "..."
"Let's go and take a look together." Hu Yang said with a smile.
After that, one person and one ghost came to the stall. Populus euphratica looked at it for a while and thought it was very good, so he paid for it and then took Geng Gui to a secluded beach and sat on a stone.
He held the guitar in his arms and gently plucked the strings.
He hadn't touched this thing for a long time, and Hu Yang felt a little unfamiliar with it. He went back and forth to get familiar with it for a long time before he found a feeling.
Soon, a melodious tune began to sound in the wind.
In front of you is the endless sea with waves, and above your head is the night sky with a crescent moon.
Gengar floated aside, listening quietly and obediently.
Hu Yang didn't speak either. He played an old song by Teresa Teng, "I Only Care About You."
It's quite embarrassing to say it, he only knows one song like this.
Although this song sings about love, Hu Yang felt that the first four lines would be quite appropriate if applied to him and Gengar.
…
December 31st.
New Year's Eve has officially arrived.
On this day, Hu Yang personally cooked and prepared an extremely sumptuous dinner.
A group of Pokémon sat around the table, with happiness written all over their faces.
Although they don't know what day it is, they are definitely happy.
Geng Gui stared at this scene blankly, recalling what happened during the Chinese New Year last year in his mind.
Hu Yang was replying to Da Wu's New Year's message. As soon as he sent it, he saw Geng Gui's stunned expression and realized that it might have recalled some bad memories.
Then he comforted her: "Don't worry, everything has passed."
Gengar turned to look at him.
At exactly this time, people in Weibai Town lit up celebratory fireworks and appeared in front of everyone through the windows.
Gengar raised his head, and the gorgeous fireworks were reflected in his eyes.
Amidst the noise, Gengar heard someone say to him: "Happy New Year".
The Pokémon in the zoo were also attracted by the fireworks in the sky.
Slowpoke and Slowpoke tilted their heads and looked above their heads in a daze.
The ancient coelacanths and the Carp King surfaced from the water, looking above and quietly blowing bubbles in the water.
The walking grass cuddled together, stopped walking, and sat on the grass, with bright lights flashing in their eyes.
The rogue crocodile and the desert dragonfly stood on the sand, looking up at the sky, staring blankly at this scene they had never seen before.
At the police station in Weibai Town.
The two Squirtles were sitting on the bench, staying with other Pokémon working here and the firefighters on duty, looking up at the gorgeous fireworks display.
Although it is Chinese New Year today, they are not on holiday, but are still fighting on the front line as usual.
Because this time of year is the most likely time for fires to occur.
Therefore, they cannot go back to rest yet.
…
City of Karnaz.
After finishing the dance, Dawu returned to the room, stood in front of the window and looked at the bright scene outside, and his mood couldn't help but soften.
The world is slowly getting better.
Even though evil and darkness still exist, he believes that one day these things will be defeated by the hope and courage in human hearts.
At this moment, Dawu made a small wish in his heart:
In the new year, may the world be peaceful, may Team Ocean and Team Lava be able to settle down, may he be able to dig more rare stones.
…
Meanwhile, Zhenxin Town.
After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Xiaozhi began to roll around happily on the bed.
This year, he will be ten years old!
This means that he will soon receive his initial Pokémon from Dr. Oak and go on a trip with them!
Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle...
Which one should I choose?
Xiaozhi was extremely confused.
At this time, Hanako's voice came from outside the door: "Xiaozhi, remember to drink all the milk before going to bed!"
Xiaozhi responded loudly: "I know, Mom!"
Outside the door, Hanako shook his head helplessly: "Oh, this child..."
A worried look appeared on her face.
Is it really okay for Xiaozhi to travel alone?
Thinking of this, Hanako stopped, turned around, opened Xiaozhi's door, and said worriedly: "Xiaozhi, why don't you wait until you grow up a little before you go on a trip?"
Xiaozhi stood up from the bed and said: "Mom, I am already ten years old!"
"But..." Hanako looked a little hesitant, as if he had remembered something bad.
When Xiaozhi saw his mother's appearance, he immediately realized that she was thinking of her father and grandfather who had gone on a trip and lost contact with each other.
So he got out of bed, hugged Hanako and comforted him: "Don't worry, Mom, nothing will happen. Whenever I arrive in a new town, I will call home to report that it is safe. My Pokémon will travel with me."
.”
Hearing this, Hanako sighed and said softly: "Okay then."
After a pause, he warned worriedly: "Don't forget, you must remember to contact me, okay?"
