Chapter 378 Tell Shirona about myths and legends (two in one)
Although the Flying Mantis has lost its ability to fight, this gym competition is not over yet.
Hu Yang originally thought that A Bi Er would only send out insect-type Pokémon such as Heracross and Kairos.
But with a flash of white light, the second Pokémon sent by A Bi really surprised Hu Yang.
Because it was an armored chrysalis.
Armored Chrysalis, the evolved form of the Green Caterpillar, before evolving into the Bad Butterfly in the third stage, it only knows three moves, namely: hardening, spinning silk, and impacting.
Apart from this, there are no other means of attack at all.
Sending such a Pokémon to the scene, could it be that... Abi is broken?
Populus euphratica cast a suspicious look at the boy holding an insect net opposite.
Ah Bi was a little embarrassed when he saw it, so he could only say: "Don't underestimate the Bug Pokémon! Even if there is only one left, the Bug Pokémon can still handle it! Armored Chrysalis, use Harden!"
On the field, the armored chrysalis' body glowed with green light, and its body became harder than before.
Hu Yang: "..."
It is indeed very resistant.
In fact, insect-type Pokémon are at a disadvantage in some Pokémon battles.
They are suitable as starter Pokémon to help new trainers through the transitional period, but due to their race, their upper limit is always limited.
As far as Hu Yang knows, there is only one trainer in so many areas who can use insect-type Pokémon to reach the top of the mountain.
That is A Liu, the insect king of the Sinnoh region. However, A Liu’s identity as the insect king is not pure either.
Because his representative Pokémon is Scorpion. Although Scorpion does look like an insect-type Pokémon at first glance, it is actually a combination of poison-type and evil-type Pokémon.
It can be seen from this that the upper limit of insect-type Pokémon is limited, and after all, it cannot bloom like a hundred flowers like other attributes.
Of course, not all bug Pokémon are like this.
There are also some trainers who can use their own strength and cultivation to raise the strength of Bug Pokémon to a new stage.
Just like the giant needle wasp on Sakaki's hand.
Thinking of this, Hu Yang shook his head slightly, retracted his thoughts, and focused all his attention on the battle in front of him.
"Metal monster, telekinesis."
The order was given, and the metal monster started to move.
A blue light appeared on its body, and its powerful superpower burst out instantly, knocking the hardened armored pupa away.
The armored chrysalis fell to the ground in pain. Like the flying mantis, it was very unsuitable to the strong gravity beneath it.
Before it could get up, the metal monster attacked in pursuit, its metal claws crisscrossed across the body, and several clear scars suddenly appeared on the armored chrysalis' body.
But it still hasn't fallen.
This actually surprised Hu Yang.
Can the hardened armored chrysalis be so bearable?
Abi frowned and ordered: "Spinning silk!"
"Hiss!"
The armored chrysalis who fell on the ground struggled to get up, spit out a bunch of white silk from its mouth, and tied the metal monster's right arm.
The metal monster lowered his head and looked down, then raised his arm violently, and the iron dumbbell at the other end of the white silk stockings was thrown away without a trace, and fell outside the battlefield, losing its ability to fight.
Referee: "The armored chrysalis has lost its ability to fight. In the second battle, the player from Populus euphratica won!"
There is only one last game left, Hu Yang thought.
But who would have expected that Abi directly raised his hands and said helplessly: "I admit defeat, my insect Pokémon and I are no match for you."
Hu Yang: "..."
Is this a mental breakdown?
Abi took out a ladybug-shaped badge, handed it over, and said: "This is the insect badge of the Jupi Gym. Now it belongs to you."
Hu Yang took it. He was not planning to participate in the league competition in the Chengdu region. As for this badge, he planned to take it back and keep it at home.
However, looking at A Bi who looked hopeless in front of him, Hu Yang opened his mouth and said comfortingly: "Come on!"
Abi looked at the young man in front of him.
When he saw that the insect Pokémon he had worked so hard to cultivate was helpless in battle, he felt very bad.
But, who is this person opposite?
He is the heroic trainer who saved the Hoenn region, the champion of the Aiyu Tournament, and the final winner!
If you lose at his hands, it's a matter of course, right?
Thinking of this, A Bi suddenly felt relieved. He took a deep breath, looked at the young man in front of him with bright eyes, and said with some embarrassment:
"...I won't lose to anyone when it comes to Bug Pokémon! I feel embarrassed even saying this line. Pokémon with other attributes are also good, and I learned from it. Thank you very much for making me realize it.
at this point!"
Seeing that Abi had recovered, Hu Yang nodded and said: "Keep working hard! I hope to see you on the research section of insect-type Pokémon one day."
In fact, Abi is about the same age as Xiaozhi, and he still has a lot of room for growth.
Abi nodded heavily: "Yes! I will!"
…
After testing the strength of the metal monster, Populus euphratica rested for a night in Jupi Town and then continued on the road to Platycodon City.
On the way, he also started a plan to use gravity to conduct special training on several Pokémon around him.
Being in a gravity environment, whether it is Gengar, Charizard, Double Ax War Dragon or Gardevoir, they are all affected to a certain extent.
Their attack speed and action speed have become much slower than before.
Not only that, some of the moves they use are also affected by gravity.
For example, when the fire-breathing dragon uses flames, the angle of its attack will be tilted. When the double-axe dragon uses its dragon tail to attack the opponent, the force of the dragon's tail will also increase due to gravity, etc.
"That's an interesting point."
Hu Yang stood aside and silently watched the situation not far away.
After running under the gravity field for a while, several Pokémon began to sweat on their foreheads and became out of breath.
But at the same time, they have gained a lot. Once they get used to fighting in a gravity environment and return to a normal environment, their speed, reaction power and judgment ability will be greatly improved.
"Take a rest!"
Populus euphratica glanced at the time and saw that it was almost time, so he asked them to stop, stepped forward, and wiped the sweat off their bodies one by one.
The Double Ax Battle Dragon and Bandila had no complaints. Although Gardevoir and Charizard were tired, they did not want to let Populus euphratica down, so they persevered hard.
As for Gengar...
Seeing Geng Gui lying on the ground without any image, panting, Hu Yang stepped forward and asked: "How do you feel?"
Gengar: "I'm so tired!"
After hearing this, Hu Yang thought for a while and decided to join this special training starting tomorrow.
As a qualified trainer, you should share the joys and sorrows with Pokémon.
Moreover, in the dangerous wilderness, it is easy to encounter some emergencies. It is impossible to survive without a healthy and strong body.
Just like Shiba, the fighting king of Kanto, and Ayabe of the Galar region, they are both strong men who can train with Pokémon.
Although Hu Yang is not proficient in the fighting type, there is no harm in exercising his body. When encountering a surprise attack from some wild Pokémon, he will not stand there like a weak chicken and be slaughtered.
So starting from the next day, several Pokémon saw Populus euphratica running with them in a gravity environment and doing push-ups.
This surprised them all.
Seeing Hu Yang sweating profusely but still persisting, no Pokémon could resist this kind of special training.
When the special training was over, Hu Yang and his Pokémon walked carelessly to the grass and looked up at the white clouds in the sky. No one spoke for a while.
Because this kind of special training is really tiring.
I don’t know how Caidou persisted. Judging from her performance in the anime, she seems to be able to fight with strange forces.
For this, Hu Yang was very impressed.
After a brief rest, Hu Yang focused on the metal monster again.
The metal monster only knows a few moves now, and its attack methods are too single.
After thinking for a moment, Populus euphratica began to think of ways to modify its moves.
The Pokémon moves in this world are slightly different from those in the game. They focus on the balanced and comprehensive development of Pokémon.
Therefore, sometimes physical attack Pokémon are also equipped with some special attack moves.
For example, when fighting dragons with double axes is not possible in melee combat, you can use ultimate moves like Dragon Star Swarm to attack your opponents.
Well, first of all, arrange the cannon light cannon and the destructive death ray.
You can also add some moves that provide speed and buff effects, such as high-speed movement, iron wall, miraculous eye, and ghost face.
Finally, with the addition of Comet Fist, Iron Wall and Psycho Hammer, a metal monster with perfect combination of moves is officially released.
The plan is confirmed and modifications begin!
A temporary tent was set up on the spot, and Populus euphratica lay down in it. After explaining the precautions to Gardevoir and Gengar, he closed his eyes and fell into sleep the next second.
After Hu Yang finished modifying all his moves, the time came to September 21st in the 211th year of the alliance calendar.
After being delayed for too long on the way, Populus euphratica did not dare to stay any longer. As soon as he woke up, he rode the fire-breathing dragon and rushed to Platycodon City.
At noon on September 22, after more than five months, Populus euphratica once again stood at the entrance to the Alfu ruins near Platycodon City.
Nothing here has changed from the last time he arrived. The group of doctors studying unknown totems are still investigating in the ruins.
Following the route in his memory, Populus euphratica entered the ruins filled with a large number of unknown totems.
There are some unknown totems living in the passage of the ruins, their bodies pressed tightly against the walls on both sides.
As if sensing that outsiders were coming here, the unknown totems opened their eyes and fled to the deepest part of the ruins.
Populus euphratica followed closely behind them. After reaching the end of the passage, a secret door leading below quietly opened, and the unknown totem floated in in panic.
Before the secret door was closed, Hu Yang also jumped in and once again came to the large underground room that the unknown totem Z took him into.
There were densely packed unknown totems on the four walls of the room. When they felt someone coming, they all opened their eyes and looked at the human who appeared in the room.
This scene is still so disappointing! Hu Yang couldn’t help but curse.
The last time he came here, these unknown totems opened a time and space passage to another ruins.
But this time, these unknown totems just looked at it motionless, and there was no other reaction.
Hu Yang didn't pay too much attention. The purpose of his coming here was not to enter the time and space channel, but to find the unknown totem Z who was forced to separate from him.
But, what about z?
It seems that there is no figure of Z here.
While Hu Yang was searching carefully, the unknown totems around him suddenly began to stir.
Immediately afterwards, a space-time rift appeared in the deepest part of the cave.
When Hu Yang was a little surprised, a familiar figure slowly walked out of the crack.
That's... Sirona?
Seeing him here, the expression on Sirona's face was also very surprising.
Before Hu Yang could speak, an unknown totem flew out from behind Sirona excitedly and landed on his shoulder.
That's z!
But, how could it be at Sirona's place?
Sirona looked at this scene and explained with a smile: "I met it at the ruins of the city of God. It seemed to be waiting for someone there."
Hearing this, Hu Yang knew clearly that Sirona had met him and Unknown Totem Z once before.
"Thanks."
Sirona smiled slightly, turned around and looked at the condition of the ruins.
She was teleported from the ruins of the divine capital.
Previously, Sirona was exploring the historic Tianguan Mountain, and she discovered the ancient ruins in the ancient area surrounded by snow walls.
In the history of Sinnoh, that place should be the ruins of the legendary city of gods.
However, while exploring, Sirona encountered a familiar unknown totem, and then a space-time passage opened in the ruins, so she walked over there.
Seeing Sirona calmly looking at the unknown totems all around, out of gratitude, Hu Yang took the initiative to introduce: "This is the Chengdu area."
"Chengdu area?" Sirona was a little surprised.
Hu Yang looked at her and nodded with certainty: "The Alfu ruins near Platycodon City are connected to the Shendu ruins in the Sinnoh region."
Hearing this, Sirona fell into deep thought.
Is this already the Johto area?
Although she knew some things about the ancient Sinnoh people migrating to other areas, she didn't know the details.
Hu Yang did not look at Sirona, but looked at the densely packed unknown totems on the wall, and slowly said:
"In distant ancient times, a great disaster occurred in the Chengdu area. In order to avoid that disaster, humans at that time hid in this place."
"The unknown totem accepted the humans at that time. Humans created ancient texts based on the unknown totem. The unknown totem was shocked by human wisdom. Because they were worried that humans would use their power to affect the world, the unknown totem drove humans away.
Out of this ruins."
"But the disaster was not over yet, and the unknown totem couldn't bear it, so it used the teleportation function in the deepest part of the ruins to send those humans to the far north, the land shrouded in snow, which was the Sinnoh region at that time."
"Humanity started a new life there. Hundreds of years ago, some Sinnoh people began to gradually migrate to the Johto area."
"After people from the two areas communicated, in order to express their longing for their hometown, they built the ruins of the sacred city together."
"It combines the legends of two regions, the Spear Pillar on the top of Tianguan Mountain, and the Aluf ruins where unknown totems live. It is the place where two cultures meet."
Hu Yang slowly told those ancient rumors.
These are not nonsense, but information he obtained from the Xicui area after traveling through time and space several times.
Whether it is Magamu or Shiyue from Yumanting, they actually immigrated to the Sinnoh area from the Johto area.
After all, the birthplace of ninja culture is Kagi Town in the Johto region.
Sirona listened to these words with a calm face, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking.
After a while, she came back to her senses and asked calmly: "Are you also interested in these myths and legends spread in the Sinnoh region and the Johto region?"
