Hu Yang took his Pokémon and boarded the ship to Liuli City again.
The day after he separated from Daigo and Mikri last time, the Fengyuan Alliance sent someone to deliver the building materials he asked for. Two large trucks were filled with them and were piled in the forest clearing next to the ecological park.
In addition, a latest elf ball teleporter was also given.
Populus euphratica placed it in the ecological garden and handed it over to King Dadai to manage it.
This year's Caiyou Tournament has been postponed to November 5th due to Groudon and Kyogre.
After Hu Yang prepared to participate in Liuli City's rebirth celebration, he immediately set off for Caiyou City, the venue for the league competition.
The league competition does not limit the number of Pokémon that contestants can bring, so this time, Yang Hu took a total of seven Pokémon with him except Ancient Moon Bird.
There are seven Pokémon: Rose Redo, Gengar, Dual Axe, Gardevoir, Charizard, Megalodon and Zapdos.
As for Guoran Weng, he was left by Populus euphratica in the ecological park to continue hatching eggs.
Near noon, the ship arrived at Liuli City.
Before getting off the boat, Hu Yang was a little worried that he would be surrounded by enthusiastic people. But when he got off the boat, he did not see the scene he imagined below, and he was relieved.
When Mikoli came to pick him up, he saw this scene and said with a smile: "I know you don't like that situation, so no one came over."
"That's good." Hu Yang nodded with relief.
Some time ago, whenever he went out on the street, he would be surrounded by enthusiastic people, which scared him so much that he did not dare to go out casually.
It seems that he can no longer stay in this Hoenn region. Once the competition is over, he will immediately go to other regions to start a new trip.
Seeing him like this, Mi Keli couldn't help laughing and said: "Let's go! Populus euphratica!"
Hu Yang hummed, and followed Mikri into Liuli City by flying from the crater.
From a long distance, he saw the statue that didn't exist before in the center of the city.
The subject of the statue is a young boy, with a silly-looking bird beside him, looking forward with a dignified and solemn expression.
That's...what?
The Populus euphratica people were stupid.
"No...it doesn't have to be like this, right?" Hu Yang stammered.
Mi Keli smiled elegantly and said: "It's used."
While talking, the two landed in the square of Liuli City.
After several months of reconstruction, this city built in the crater has taken on a completely new look.
The white buildings in the city, people's faces, and the trees growing along the roads all show a vibrant scene.
Because of the celebration, the city was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and a long table was set up around the statue in the square.
The table was covered with a simple and elegant white cloth printed with pale gold patterns, and a variety of food and fruits were placed on the white cloth.
People put on ancient Greek-style classical clothing that matched the city. Some sat around the table with their Pokémon and talked and laughed, while others danced elegantly in the square with their Pokémon.
When Mi Keli brought Populus euphratica to the entrance, several girls came forward and put wreaths and silk scarves representing gratitude on Populus euphratica's head.
One of the girls with clear eyes stood up on tiptoes, placed a gentle kiss on Populus euphratica's forehead, and then stepped away.
Hu Yang was stiff throughout the whole process and asked Mi Keli with his eyes: Are these the customs of Liuli City?
Mikri smiled softly and said: "Relax and devote yourself to this rebirth celebration with your Pokémon!"
Hu Yang came to a seat with him, and Mikli reminded: "Release all your Pokémon from the Poke Ball!"
"Oh!" Hu Yang finally reacted and took out some of his Pokémon's elf balls.
Seeing this scene, the enthusiastic citizens of Liuli City rushed forward again, surrounded the Ancient Moon Birds, and helped them put garlands on them one by one.
And Populus euphratica also welcomed a group of grateful children, including the little girl he met at the elf center who gave him fruit, Xiaotong.
Hu Yang has always been very patient with children and Pokémon. He responded to their thanks and hugs one by one, but when faced with the small gifts they sent, Hu Yang had some difficulties.
He thought for a while, then called Gengar, and gave them the candies in Gengar's body, the pokeballs with stickers on them, and some props, in exchange for greeting cards written by them and various handmade gifts.
Mikri watched this scene with a smile.
When the group of children ran away and Hu Yang could breathe a sigh of relief, he asked: "After this is over, you plan to go directly to Caiyou City, right?"
Hu Yang nodded: "Yes."
Mi Keli imagined it for a moment and said with emotion: "Dawu must be very excited now. If someone becomes the new champion, then he can leave the Fengyuan region and go around the world to find rare stones."
Hu Yang: "...Why do you have so much confidence in me?"
"The intuition of an excellent trainer." Mikri looked at the Pokémon playing with the children over there and said, "I can feel that they have been cultivated very well by you."
"Rather than the results, I enjoy traveling with them and experiencing the process of these games." Populus euphratica also looked at Gardevoir and the others.
"Don't you want to be a Pokémon Master?" Mikri asked in surprise.
"That kind of thing is not necessary for me." Hu Yang shook his head and said seriously: "Rather than becoming stronger or winning the championship, I still prefer to travel with them around the world and meet new friends.
Experience the culture of different regions.”
"Is that so?" Mikri murmured, "Trainers like you are not common."
Compared with this, most people aim to become a stronger trainer.
"So for me, as long as I can be with them, it will be fine." Hu Yang said softly: "Whether it is participating in competitions or traveling together."
After hearing this, Mikri fell into thinking. After a while, he said: "I probably know the reason why Groudon is willing to choose you."
"Unlike Chiyan Songshui Wutong and others, you are very pure. You don't want to conquer them, you just want to be by their side, and you will not abandon your partners because they are weak."
Mikri sighed: "I think Groudon must have understood this, so he chose to help you, right?"
"Maybe."
Hu Yang looked at the people celebrating, and he felt vaguely familiar with this scene, as if he had passed by somewhere before.
But he didn't think much about it, after all, sometimes people have this feeling, and a certain scene that is happening seems to have happened exactly the same before.
Hu Yang thought about the upcoming league competition, and thought about how busy Dawu was, and asked: "Will you be very busy after becoming the champion?"
Mikri shook his head and said: "The champion does not need to stay in one place all the time. The league has no hard requirements for this kind of thing. Only when something is too difficult to solve in the league will you be needed to help."
"As for Daigo who runs around all day... I think it's because of the responsibility in his heart!" Mi Keli said: "Dawu is a very responsible person. After becoming the champion, he will automatically assume the responsibility of a champion.
Responsibilities.”
Therefore, in the special plot, Daigo will ignore his own safety and forcefully use the three divine pillars to block Groudon and Kyogre and protect the Hoenn region until the moment when his physical strength is exhausted and his life ends, right?
Hu Yang thought of this and looked up at the statue standing in the center of the square in the distance.
