On the second day after arriving in the ice field, at dawn, Populus euphratica put on the equipment issued by Dr. Lundo - a cold-proof clothing and camera combination suit, and wandered around in this ice world.
According to what female researcher Yuko revealed, in the next month, the number of Pokémon coming to this ice field will become more and more.
When Populus euphratica climbed up a steep ice break and looked into the distance, he found that the types and numbers of Pokémon in this area had become richer today.
In addition to the Seal Ball family yesterday, Hu Yang met the Sneeze Bear family from the fifth generation here today.
It is an ice-type Pokémon with a white body, a blue head, and snot hanging from its nose.
When Populus euphratica found the little sneeze bear, it was lying next to the ice cave like a polar bear, poking its head into the ice cave, not knowing what it was looking at.
At this moment, a "white bear" that was taller than the Sneeze Bear poked its head out of the ice cave...
It held a fish in its mouth, used its thick flesh pads to scratch the ice next to it, and climbed up.
Oh! It’s the evolved form of Sneeze Bear, the Tundra Bear!
After evolving, the tundra bear became taller and taller, like a polar bear, with thick white fur to keep out the cold. Its facial expression was ferocious, and it completely lost the childishness it had when it was a child.
Hu Yang took out the illustrated book and scanned it, and information about the tundra bear immediately appeared on the illustrated book.
"Tundra Bear, an ice Pokémon, is good at swimming. It can freeze the breath it exhales, make ice fangs and crampons for fighting, or make roads on the sea to walk on. It lives in the cold land of the north."
At the same time, after climbing ashore, the fierce-looking tundra bear handed the fish to the little sneeze bear, and then shook its water-soaked fur hard.
Sneeze Bear took the fish, sat down on the ice, grabbed the fish with his two snow-white paws, and ate it happily.
Seeing this scene, Hu Yang decisively took out Dr. Londo's camera, pointed it, and pressed the shutter.
With a clicking sound, the scene of a rare tundra bear eating was frozen here.
At this time, the tundra bear, who was standing aside waiting for his fur to dry and watching his cubs eat, moved his ears, then turned his head and accurately focused his gaze in this direction.
For a moment, their eyes met.
The tundra bear's gaze began to become dangerous and fierce.
Hu Yang: "..."
Forget it, let him go, the photo has been taken anyway.
So he slid down the ice slope.
The difference between Sneezebear and Tundra Bear before and after their evolution reminded Hu Yang of another panda Pokémon.
Naughty pandas and rogue pandas of the fighting style.
There are also big differences in their personalities before and after evolution.
Soon, Populus euphratica slid to the bottom of the ice slope.
Xiaochao, who couldn't go up because he was too young, was waiting here and asked expectantly: "Brother Hu Yang, have you photographed any new Pokémon?"
"Yeah." Hu Yang nodded, opened the picture of the tundra bear and showed it in front of him: "It's the Sneeze Bear and the tundra bear."
"Wow! So cute!" Superboy's eyes lit up with fighting spirit, "I want to take photos of Pokémon too!"
"Come on!" Hu Yang encouraged.
"Brother Hu Yang, see you later~" Xiaochao said.
In order to ensure the safety of the three of them, Dr. Londo gave each of them a powerful Pokémon to protect them.
The one for Xiaochao is a flame chicken, the one for Youshu is a Chinese Valentine's Day Bluebird, and the one for Populus euphratica is a pretty good Chalem.
But Populus euphratica has its own Pokémon and does not need protection from others, so it rejected Dr. Londo's kindness.
"See you later." Hu Yang said with a chuckle.
Xiaochao waved his hand at him, and the flame chicken on the side picked him up, then jumped ten meters, directly onto the ice slope that Populus euphratica had just climbed up.
Tsk, flame chicken!
This scene reminded Hu Yang of the Super Flame Chicken that appeared in front of Xiaozhi at the beginning of the anime xy.
If he remembered correctly, the flame chicken could jump from the ground to a very tall building in one breath.
Looking at the backs of Flame Chicken and Xiaochao, Hu Yang realized that the plot was starting to look different.
In the original plot, there was no commission for the photo contest, and Dr. Lundo did not send the Flame Chicken out to protect Superboy.
This also directly led to Superboy being attracted to the Pokémon on the ice field while no one was paying attention. Then Deoxys came and the shock wave of fighting Rayquaza caused him severe psychological trauma.
However, with the Flame Chicken here, that kind of thing shouldn't happen again now.
This can be regarded as a good change due to his joining!
From the beginning, Hu Yang never expected that things would develop to this point.
At first, he just wanted Dr. Odamaki to help take care of the Pokémon in the garden, research papers, etc. It was regarded as a gift to Dr. Odamaki.
But as a result, this paper on the ancient coelacanth secretly attracted the attention of Dr. Lundo, which brought this key figure to his door.
Thinking of this, Populus euphratica only felt the wonder of fate.
Where he didn't notice, certain things quietly changed because of his presence.
The figures of the Flame Chicken and Xiao Chao soon disappeared from the ice slope. Seeing this scene, Hu Yang felt that it was time to set off and continue exploring.
As for Youshu... he was separated from Populus euphratica when he first left the camp.
…
Dr. Lundo and his colleagues call this phenomenon of Pokémon appearing in large numbers "colony gathering".
Hu Yang had never heard of this academic term and did not know the reason for this phenomenon, but this did not prevent him from understanding the meaning of the word.
In short: a large number of Pokémon appear in the same place for some special reasons.
Dr. Londo's observation team set up the camp in an open and remote place, which was on the outskirts of the community gathering area, so although there were some Pokémon, the number was not very large.
Now, Populus euphratica is following the route map given by Dr. Lundo, heading towards the center of the area where it appears in large numbers.
As expected, the closer you get there, the more and more Pokémon you can see.
Among them are some rare and rare Pokémon that are difficult to find in the outside world.
There are ice rock monsters that are huge and look like an iceberg, ivory pigs that move in groups, running around in the ice and snow, very lively snow boys, etc.
Together they form a large, vibrant and beautiful picture full of nature.
Apart from some hobbies of touching stuffed Pokémon, Populus euphratica's favorite thing is probably observing the ecology of wild Pokémon.
They look similar to animals, yet full of spirituality.
Hu Yang quickly photographed this memorable scene and saved it in his camera.
At this time, he suddenly heard a familiar singing voice.
There was an expression of surprise on Hu Yang's face.
He has heard this voice!
When I took the White Sea Lion back to the Fengyuan area!
It’s Chenglong!
He turned around and followed the direction of the sound. Soon, he found a group of dragons swimming slowly by in the sea behind an ice cliff fault.
"Crack, click, click!"
When the camera is aimed, Populus euphratica comes up and takes three consecutive shots.
Looking at the photo on the screen of a dragon swimming across the shimmering sea, Populus euphratica couldn't help but think: This must be rare enough, right?
At this moment, Hu Yangshi truly experienced the charm of shooting Pokémon to music.
The group of dragons gradually moved away.
Compared to the cold Arctic, Populus euphratica thinks they may prefer sea areas with moderate temperatures.
…
The shooting trip of Populus euphratica went smoothly.
At noon, he returned to the camp and waited for the camp cook to prepare lunch.
While they were going out to take pictures, Dr. Londo and his team in the camp were also conducting ecological inspections on the Pokémon.
Populus euphratica was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea filled with white mist to warm his hands, while the chatting sounds of the expedition team could be heard next to him.
"I never expected that there would be so many different Pokémon living on the ice sheet!"
"Yes! This is so interesting. The seal ball likes to be close to humans, the Diya sea lion is wary of humans, and the ice treasure running around! Haha, I also used the elf ball to tame a cute
Where’s the Bingbao!”
At this time, the third investigator came in from outside, sat on a chair, and said: "Hey, what do you have? Look at what I gained today!"
As he spoke, he laid out the photos and analysis data in his hand.
The other two people looked over and exclaimed: "Ice Eevee!"
"Haha, it must be rare!" As he said that, the investigator suddenly showed a regretful smile: "In addition to Ice Eevee, I also met a little guy I haven't seen before today."
"It is all white, with a pair of beautiful ice-blue eyes and many fluffy tails. It looks a bit like the fire attribute Vulpix, but unfortunately, the little guy is very vigilant, and I haven't gotten close yet.
, and ran away."
"The Vulpix?" another investigator asked curiously.
"No." The man shook his head: "The Vulpix is yellow, and this one is as white as snow."
"Ah, then I don't know." The investigator thought, and after a moment his eyes showed a light full of fighting spirit: "In that case, let us find it!"
"Yes, investigating unknown Pokémon. This is the purpose of our coming here, isn't it?"
"Then hurry up and eat, and continue exploring outside in the afternoon!"
The three investigators began to rush the cook who was preparing the food.
Hu Yang listened to the entire content silently.
From their description, that Pokémon seems to be Vulpix in Alola form...
In the Pokémon world, some Pokémon have different regional forms depending on the region they are in.
This form gives them completely different attributes and moves from the original version.
At this point in time, the Pokémon League has not yet appeared in the Alola region, so it is easy to understand that Ice Vulpix has not yet been discovered.
The image of Bing Liuwei appeared in his mind, and Hu Yang couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart.
Compared with the original Vulpix, Ice Vulpix's appearance has become higher, and his body is still plush.
Hu Yang decided to go out and explore in the afternoon.
In this environment, several Pokémon on him were reluctant to stay outside because the weather was too cold.
This also caused Populus euphratica to wander outside alone, feeling very lonely.
So here comes the problem. There is no ice field area in the ecological park. Where to stay after the Ice Vulpix passes by is also a problem.
Live in a refrigerator?
Hu Yang thought about it carefully and thought it was feasible.
If you conquer the Ice Vulpix, he will transform the refrigerator into a gorgeous ice and snow castle when you return.
At this moment, Hu Yang completely forgot the purpose of coming here.
When he saw Xiaochao coming in happily, he remembered that he came here to watch the famous scene between Rayquaza and Deoxys.
However, he couldn't rush into this kind of thing.
Because he didn't know when Deoxys would arrive on the planet.
"Hi, Brother Hu Yang!" Xiaochao greeted Hu Yang cheerfully.
"Hi!" Hu Yang looked behind Xiao Chao, but did not see Youshu's figure, so he couldn't help asking: "Where is Youshu?"
"Huh?" Xiaochao looked confused and looked around: "Brother Youshu hasn't come back yet?"
Hu Yang: "..."
Xiao Chao shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
Could it be that you are so obsessed with taking pictures that you have forgotten the time?
Hu Yang thought about it and found that Youshu was unlikely to do such a worrying thing.
Before setting off in the morning, they agreed to be back before noon.
So, nothing happened, right?
Hu Yang instantly thought of the worst possibility.
But he shouldn’t? With the Chinese Valentine’s Day Blue Bird by his side, even if he encounters danger, he can fly away directly on the Chinese Valentine’s Day Blue Bird.
Realizing that something was wrong, Xiao Chao also stopped and said worriedly: "Isn't he in some danger?"
Hu Yang glanced at the time and saw that there were still ten minutes until twelve o'clock noon. He looked up and looked outside and said, "Wait and see."
However, this wait is only an hour.
Twelve fifty.
Before Youshu was seen in the camp, Populus euphratica realized that the worst possibility had occurred.
Dr. Lundo also discovered this and immediately organized people to search outside.
Xiaochao looked worried and wanted to go. Hu Yang quickly stopped him and said, "Just stay here and I'll look for him. Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"I can help too!" Xiao Chao also wanted to help. At this time, Dr. Londo came over and said seriously: "Xiao Chao, don't mess around!"
Xiaochao immediately wilts and can only say to Hu Yang:
"Brother Hu Yang, be careful!"
Hu Yang: “Don’t worry!”
He nodded to Dr. Lundo, then took the Pokémon and looked for Yushu in the direction he walked when they left in the morning.
It snowed again at noon, burying the footprints on the ground.
Without footprints as a reference, Populus euphratica could only make estimates in his mind.
According to Yushu's footsteps, he shouldn't be able to walk too far in one morning.
Along this way, the number of wild Pokémon was no less than the one he took.
However, the types are somewhat different from those there.
For example, Ice Ghost Protector, Mi Lip Baby, Mi Lip Sister, etc.
Seeing that they were quite friendly, Populus euphratica sent Gengar to ask them if they had seen a human walking past here.
Soon, Gengar came back.
From their mouths, Populus euphratica heard that there was a strange guy in the morning, holding a square box and clicking it at them. After finishing the matter, he walked in that direction.
That direction is the west.
Hu Yang glanced at it, thanked the Mizui baby for answering, and then continued on his way forward.
Soon, the terrain ahead began to undulate.
From the beginning of the ice field, it turned into large and small ice slopes, until finally, Populus euphratica discovered a bottomless huge ice cliff in the sky of white snow.
Looking down, I could hear the faint whimpering sound of the cold wind coming from below.
Hu Yang: "..."
So, Yushu probably fell into this, right?
After a moment of silence, he decided to go down and take a look.
Without the Lightning Bird, he couldn't fly, so he could only let Lalu Lasi and use his telekinesis to take him down like a descending land.
After previous training, although Lalulas has not yet evolved, its control over telekinesis is now no less than that of its evolved Kirulian.
As the descent distance deepens, the surrounding environment also changes greatly.
The color of the surrounding ice becomes darker and darker, and the sound of the wind blowing through the canyon becomes clearer and clearer.
At this moment, Hu Yang heard a familiar shout from behind.
It’s Yushu!
The thought came to his mind that this was indeed the case, and he was speechless while letting La Lulas move in that direction.
Soon, I saw Youshu's figure on a raised ice wall.
Youshu squatted on it, holding the little snow boy in his arms. There was no visible injury on his body, but his face was full of loss.
Hu Yang used his eyes to calculate the height from above to here, and suddenly he just wanted to say that he was worthy of being a human in the Pokémon world, and it was okay to be so high...
