Not getting a response from Mashado, Entei could only turn his confused eyes to Suicune.
"..." Shuijun was silent for a moment and said tactfully: "I hope the situation you mentioned won't happen!"
Emperor Yan thought of Thunder Lord's strange temper again and nodded heavily.
Suicune didn't speak any more.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan also lowered his head and rested it on his forelimbs.
Soon, the cave became quiet again, leaving only the dying bonfire and the patter of rain outside.
Early the next morning, Populus euphratica was the first to walk out of the cave with a strange look on his face.
He stopped outside, turned his head, and saw two huge, thick figures walking out of the shadows of the cave, walking to his left and right sides and stopping respectively.
Hu Yang: "..."
Good guy, when others participate in trials, they are all kinds of training and battles.
Fortunately for him, he didn't talk about any difficulties and was escorted by two bodyguards throughout the whole journey.
It doesn't look like I'm going for a trial, but more like I'm going to Tianqing Mountain for a trip.
more importantly……
Does King Feng know that he and Gu Yueniao are already on the way?
Thinking of this question, Hu Yang fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong?" Shuijun, who came to Hu Yang's side, asked gently.
Emperor Yan also cast a majestic look at him.
"Wait a moment."
Hu Yang thought for a moment, took off his backpack, and took out the feathers in the compartment.
Since it just rained last night, the air this morning seemed a little damp.
This feather that has accompanied Populus euphratica for more than two years shines brightly in the morning breeze, emitting colorful light like a rainbow.
Hu Yang: "..."
He suddenly felt that there was something wrong not with the feather, but with the Phoenix King.
Seeing the sign of the chosen one, Entei and Suicune lowered their heads at the same time and cast their gaze on the feather.
The feathers are glowing...well, this is the sign of being chosen by Lord Ho-oh to participate in the test and become the Hero of the Rainbow.
No problem! Suicune and Entei thought at the same time, why did Populus euphratica show such an expression?
They looked away from their feathers and looked at the humans in front of them in confusion.
Hu Yang's expression was a little strange. He was silent for a moment and asked: "Do you know how humans like me get feathers?"
This? They know this.
Emperor Yan's face was filled with relief, and he explained: "When Mr. Phoenix is flying around the world, when he meets a human being who is pure and kind in his heart, he will take the initiative to leave a feather for him."
"Then has there ever been a situation where Master Feng Wang was passive?" Hu Yang asked smoothly.
Upon hearing this question, Entei and Suijun were stunned for a moment.
After a moment, Suicune shook his head slightly and replied: "Without the permission of Lord Ho-oh, it is impossible for humans to get feathers from it."
Hu Yang: "..."
He wanted to ask what if the other party was not a human being?
At that time, he saw Phoenix King on the boat. He must have followed Phoenix King and thought of the situation when Xiaozhi met Phoenix King. Then he thought of the feather left by Phoenix King.
Then this idea was sensed by Gu Yueniao, and he mistakenly thought that he also wanted a feather, and then...
Although so much time has passed since the incident happened, Hu Yang can't help but feel outrageous every time he thinks about it.
What's even more outrageous is that this feather actually recognized him...
Hu Yang didn't know what to say for a moment.
He looked at Entei's majestic eyes and Suicune's gentle eyes, and silently swallowed these words.
Forget it, let’s not talk about these things to these two cute guys.
As for all the questions, he will know the answers when he meets Feng Wang.
After the rainy night passed, the Pokémon who took shelter in the cave waved goodbye to Entei gratefully, and then turned around and rushed into the dense mountain forest.
The chosen one and the three members of the Phoenix Guards continued to move towards Tianqing Mountain.
This time, Hu Yang chose Emperor Yan as his mount.
Suicune, who was not selected, was not discouraged and followed Entei with a brisk figure like the north wind.
…
Two days later, Populus euphratica passed through the periphery of the Yunying Mountains and officially entered the deep area.
Compared with the outside, this place seems even more inaccessible, and even the ecology of wild Pokémon nearby has changed.
Perhaps because they are far away from human towns, the wild Pokémon in this mountain forest grow wilder and stronger.
The Sand King with sharp claws, the Nido King and Nido Queen with strong muscles, the giant flower-eating flower quietly dormant in the lush grass, waiting for prey to come to the door, the grumpy monkey monster who can get angry at every turn...
…
However, because Entei and Suicune were there, not a single wild Pokémon attacked him.
As usual, Populus euphratica was hanging out in the grass with Entei Suicune, recording the life of this group of wild Pokémon with a camera.
But just when they were about to get up and continue setting off, Hu Yang suddenly heard a cry for help.
Um?
Hu Yang raised his head and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
But Emperor Yan raised his head keenly and looked in one direction.
Hu Yang: "..."
Okay, as a human, he still doesn't have as strong a sense as a Pokémon.
Following the sound, Populus euphratica passed through a path covered with dense grass, and soon he came to a slope.
There was an old wooden crutch on the top of the slope, and the cry for help came from below the steep slope.
Hu Yang glanced at it and guessed that someone had accidentally fallen down.
He knelt down and looked down, and sure enough he saw an old man in simple clothes leaning on a stone, calling for help in the distance.
Hu Yang's first reaction when he saw this scene was that the other party wanted to have sex, but considering the situation of that person, it should be impossible to do so.
Forget it, just treat it as a good deed.
After all, when he first came to this world, he was helped by many strangers.
With this thought in mind, Hu Yang stood up and jumped from the top.
The height of this steep slope is about two meters, which is not too high.
Seeing Hu Yang jump down, Emperor Yan and Shui Jun also jumped down and guarded him.
Hu Yang helped the old man up, "Are you okay?"
The old man gasped and raised his eyelids to look at the young man. He originally wanted to say thank you, but when he looked up, he saw the two big guys behind the young man. His breath suddenly caught in his throat, and he even forgot about his own situation.
, exclaimed:
"It it it they are?!"
"The companions who are traveling with me temporarily." Hu Yang did not deliberately conceal the fact that Emperor Yan and Sui Jun were by his side, and explained casually.
The old man was a little dazed.
Living in the Yunying Mountains, it is natural that he has not heard of the legend that Tianqing Mountain is the habitat of the Phoenix King, and he certainly knows about the three of them, Emperor Yan, Suijun and Thunder Lord.
On weekdays, trainers occasionally encounter Entei and Suicune in the wild, so the photos of these two Pokémon are not a secret to humans.
Anyone who knows a little bit about them will be able to recognize these two Pokémon when they see them.
"Oh my God..." Seeing the two holy beasts following the boy, the old man couldn't help but murmured: "It seems that they have recognized you..."
Hu Yang smiled slightly.
The old man came back to his senses and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving me."
Just a small thing.
Hu Yang didn't care. He took a look at the old man's condition. He didn't have any pockets, and he didn't look like a trainer traveling with Pokémon.
Hu Yang helped him sit down on a rock and asked casually: "How could you go into such a deep place alone?"
"No, I live here." The old man shook his head, pointed in a direction, and said, "I have lived here for more than ten years..."
Hu Yang: "..."
Good guy, this really allowed him to meet a human who lived in seclusion in the wild far away from the city.
The old man asked: "If possible, can you send me back. As a reward, you can rest in my hut at any time..."
It's not necessary. He has a tent and Pokémon, so he can rest anywhere.
Hu Yang sighed softly.
That's all, good things will come to an end.
Anyway, he was paddling and fishing with Entei Suijun along the way, photographing the ecology of wild Pokémon, and he was not in a hurry to go to Tianqing Mountain.
Seeing that he had agreed, the old man's face softened slightly and he said sheepishly: "Sorry to trouble you."
Hu Yang went up and took off his crutches, helped him walk back, and soon saw a wooden house at the end of the road.
The door to the cabin is not locked.
Hu Yang opened the door and helped the old man in.
After he sat down, Hu Yang stood up and saw many lifelike wooden Pokémon statues placed on the table in the wooden house.
Other than that, there is only a simple wooden bed, a table, and a campfire outside for cooking.
"Don't you have any family?" Hu Yang asked somewhat unexpectedly.
How dare an old man live alone in the wilderness...
Even he had to admire this man's courage.
I'm afraid he's not a reclusive brother, right?
"I don't have any family." The old man's face was full of disappointment: "An old friend of mine has been living here with me all these years, but he suddenly ran away the day before yesterday and has never come back."
"Is it a human?"
"It's a Lucario." The old man shook his head and sighed sadly: "Maybe it thinks I'm too useless..."
