To be honest, I am not that interested in the ancient legends about Populus euphratica spread in the Sinnoh region.
After all, he has personally seen, experienced, and recorded some of them.
But now, when he told Sirona this, he was just thanking her for sending back the unknown totem z.
However, it seems that there is no function to teleport back to the Alfu ruins at the Shendu ruins.
So, how did Sirona enter the space-time rift and get here?
Was it Dialga or Palkia who secretly provided help without him seeing it?
Various thoughts flashed through Hu Yang's mind. Looking at the Sinnoh champion in front of him, he smiled softly and replied:
"Pursuing the origins of mankind and the world from ancient ruins, and understanding the past of the creation of legendary Pokémon through countless time, is a very fascinating thing in itself."
Sirona frowned in thought.
Populus euphratica doesn't want to stay in this place where the san value is low.
He turned around, tilted his head, and said, "See you next time, Miss Sirona."
Sirona was slightly startled.
Before she could speak, the boy opposite walked out of the underground room.
…
Platycodon City.
Populus euphratica, who had been sleeping in the wild for several days, first found a B&B, took a hot bath, and changed his clothes again.
After doing this, he felt as if he had been reborn.
Glancing at the Trumpet Bud Tower in the distance, Populus euphratica sat in the lobby of the B&B, took out a map from his backpack, and checked out the nearby towns.
Now that Unknown Totem Z has returned to the team, he can continue to travel as he pleases.
So the question is, which city should he go to next?
To the north of Platycodon City is Yuanzhu City, which is the hometown of Phoenix King.
To the west is Asakusa City located on the seaside.
To the southeast is the town of Huipi where he came before.
To the southwest is Manjin City, where the famous Moo Mo Ranch is located. It is said that the gym leader there, Xiao Qian, is extremely powerful, and the rolling milk can has become a nightmare for many trainers.
As for the east side of Platycodon City, it was Jihua City that he had visited before.
Hu Yang looked tangledly at the cities in these directions, and for a moment he didn't know where to go first.
He called out Gengar and asked for its opinion.
Gengar blinked and asked in confusion: "Is there anything different in these places?"
Hu Yang thought for a while, pointed to the locations on the map, and answered one by one: "There is the famous Asakura restaurant in the Chengdu area over Asakura City. It is said that the food there is very delicious, and some people even almost choked to death because it was so delicious.
If we go there, we can experience the unique local food.”
"Yuanzhu City is a town with rich cultural heritage. The Phoenix King we met before once lived there. People there worshiped the Phoenix King as a god. We can participate in the commemoration of the Phoenix King and Lugia there.
of the festival.”
"As for Manjin City, it is the birthplace of Moo Milk. The Manjin Department Store sells many things that cannot be bought elsewhere. Well, there is also a large game city there where you can exchange the currency you win by playing games.
A rare Pokémon."
If he remembered correctly, there were three Pokémon that could be redeemed, namely the third prize Arbor, the second prize Casey, and the ultimate prize Mini Dragon.
Thinking of the mini dragon, Populus euphratica's eyes lit up with a light.
Although it has no hair on its body, the final evolved dragon is very cute.
Geng Gui on the side saw Hu Yang showing this expression and immediately slapped the table and said: "Don't go to Manjin City!"
Hu Yang: "..."
Gengar: "If you want to raise Pokémon, you can ask Dai Zhi to send the Pipis from home!"
The image of Hu Yang walking around with a group of skins hanging on his body popped up in his mind, and he immediately shook his head.
Not making the Pokémon around you sad and taking care of the emotions of every Pokémon in the team are essential skills for an excellent trainer.
In this case, let's eliminate Manjin City first.
There are still Asakon City and Yuanzhu City left.
Choose one of the two, who to choose?
After thinking for a moment, Hu Yang decided to decide by tossing a coin.
He took out a coin from his pocket and handed it to Gengar, saying: "If it's heads, go to Qiancong City, and if it's tails, go to Yuanzhu City."
Gengar has no objections to these two cities at all, and he is not very interested in eating or participating in festivals. Anyway, as long as he can be with Populus euphratica.
Seeing the expectant look on Hu Yang's face, Gengar threw the coin in his hand into the air.
The silver coin drew a perfect parabola in mid-air, and then landed on the table with a clatter.
One person and one ghost looked down.
It's the front.
"In that case, let's go to Asakusa City first!"
After confirming the destination, Hu Yang immediately went upstairs to pack his things, and set out on the road to Qiancong City with his travel backpack on his back.
Two days later, in a dense forest.
Hu Yang, who was sweating profusely, stopped the special training of several Pokémon in the gravity field.
Several days of special training have had a very significant effect on these Pokémon. Although it has not been tested in actual combat, Hu Yang, as a trainer, can feel that their aura has become stronger than before.
It's thicker.
"Not bad!" Populus euphratica handed them a few bottles of water to restore their condition and said, "That's it for today!"
Several Pokémon reached out to take it, raised their heads and drank heavily.
After Hu Yang took a short rest, he walked up to Banjira, raised his wrist, and showed it the keystone bracelet he was wearing.
Bangela was a little puzzled.
Populus euphratica sat down in front of it and explained the matter of super evolution to it in detail from beginning to end.
"...So, as long as you and I think about doing the same thing, you can get more powerful power from it and evolve into a more powerful form again."
Bangila's expression also became solemn.
Seeing this, Hu Yang asked: "Want to give it a try?"
Bangela nodded and then stood up.
Hu Yang also stood up and said: "Now, focus on that big rock and treat it as our enemy."
Banjila's huge body stood on the earth like a hill, his eyes fixed on the big stone.
After hearing Populus euphratica's words, its eyes gradually became sharp and fierce.
"Very good, that's it!" Hu Yang felt the pressure Bangila unleashed on the imaginary enemy, and continued: "Now, imagine attacking it, join me, and use all your strength!"
"Roar!"
Bangila let out a roar, and the next second, its body glowed with white light, and a terrifying coercion spread violently, and then turned into a milky white beam of light, shooting out of its mouth.
The destructive death light hit the big stone, and the big stone was instantly blown into pieces.
The enemy was successfully eliminated.
It's just that Banjila didn't shine with the light of super evolution.
Hu Yang frowned and took a look at the favorability score of this Bangila. It was 90, which was already very high. This was something he had slowly cultivated with Bangila over the past few days.
But, it still doesn’t work.
Does the basic favorability of a super evolution have to be above 95 points?
Seeing Banjila coming back with a serious face, Hu Yang comforted him: "Thank you for your hard work."
Bangela: "Roar!"
Hu Yang: "It's not okay now, but don't worry, maybe it will be okay after a while."
Saying that, Hu Yang reached out and touched Banjira's armor and said, "Don't worry!"
He put a few Pokémon back into the Poké Balls to rest, and Populus euphratica continued on his way.
But before he could get too far away, he heard a sudden burst of frantic shouting not far away.
Hu Yang turned around and saw a man running past him crazily.
And behind him, followed a group of Pokémon with caring eyes.
The man ran and cried and shouted: "Ah! Don't chase me!"
But the group of Pokémon turned a deaf ear to these words.
Soon, the man was caught up, and several green caterpillars, giant needle wasps, and kettles surrounded him with love on their faces.
The man saw Populus euphratica and reached out to him for help: "Help, Gulu!"
While he was talking, a green caterpillar crawled onto the man's face and slowly wriggled on his face with its tentacles.
Seeing this scene, Populus euphratica suddenly felt a chill.
At this time, an old woman on crutches chased from behind. When she saw the man being knocked down, she gasped and said:
"Really, I've said you can't drink unfermented tree juice, why don't you just refuse to listen?!"
"Um..." Hu Yang asked out of turn: "Excuse me, what happened here?"
The old woman glanced at him and sighed helplessly: "That guy secretly drank the fermenting tree juice."
Hearing this, Hu Yang was stunned for a moment, looking in disbelief at the man who was crazily doted on by a group of Pokémon.
Isn’t it supposed that the juice from the kettle tree helps Pokémon recover its physical strength? How can it also attract Pokémon?
Seeing the expression on his face, the old woman explained:
"That's tree juice that has not yet been fermented. When humans drink the juice at this stage, a special hormone will emit from their bodies. All Pokémon that feel this smell will be obsessed with chasing that scent for three days in a row.
people."
As she spoke, the old woman took out a medicine bag from her pocket and sprinkled it towards the group of Pokémon in front of her.
Hu Yang: "This is?"
Old woman: "This is the medicine to restore the attracted Pokémon to normal."
After the words fell, the eyes of the wild Pokémon affected by the powder gradually returned to normal, and they jumped off the man one after another.
"Okay, okay, it's time to go back to Huhu Paradise!" Looking at the pots, the old woman waved.
Those pots followed the old lady obediently.
The man who realized what he had done ran over with a red face, bent down and apologized: "I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble!"
The old woman glanced at him speechlessly and said, "So, next time, you should be more careful and don't drink the drinks left on the roadside casually!"
"Yes, I understand!" The man nodded repeatedly.
"Let's go!" said the old woman: "It's getting dark soon, and it's very dangerous in the forest at night."
Man: "Yes!"
The old woman ignored him, but turned to look at the people eating melons, Populus euphratica, not far away, and said:
"You should come along too! There is a very powerful wild Pokémon living in this forest. Night is its hunting time. It is very dangerous to stay outside."
Eh?
Hu Yang was a little surprised. He originally planned to find a place to set up a tent and spend the night, but seeing that the old lady was very nice and what she said about Huhu Paradise, after thinking about it, Hu Yang decided to accept the other party's kindness.
"You are also a trainer who is traveling outside, right?" the man on the side asked with a grin.
Hu Yang nodded: "Yes."
A light lit up in the man's eyes: "That's such a coincidence! Me too!"
Hu Yangxin said that I would not just drink drinks from unknown sources on the road, but he was not familiar with the other party, so he could only smile politely when he heard this.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a small ecological park.
The old woman walking in front opened the door and said, "Come in!"
"Excuse me." Hu Yang politely thanked him and followed him into the living room.
Hearing this thank you, the old woman showed a kind smile on her face and said: "You don't have to be too polite, there are many trainers passing by who will rest here for the night."
The man next to him nodded repeatedly: "Grandma Huhu is a very good person. She often helps trainers who are lost in the forest and provides them with rooms and food."
A warm-hearted old man who keeps pots and pots.
Hu Yang nodded, with this evaluation in his mind.
This ecological park is called "Hu Hu Paradise". As the name suggests, this place is home to a large number of Hu Hu.
Pokémon like Ketu have very magical abilities.
They can ferment the tree fruits stored in the carapace for a long time into tree juice that can replenish physical strength, and this tree juice has good medicinal value.
Therefore, there are some people in this world who specialize in raising kettles, sell the tree juice they brew to Chinese medicine pharmacies and friendly shops, and process it with herbs into various recovery medicines to sell to trainers who travel outside.
Hu Yang learned this information from the man.
Not long after they returned to Huhu Paradise, the sky outside became dark.
The old woman went to prepare dinner, and Populus euphratica went to the park to observe the pots.
The kettle looks somewhat similar to a small turtle.
Its body is a red hollow hard shell that can store fruit. There are many holes on it that lead directly to the inside. The edges of the holes are white annular protrusions, and the head and limbs protrude from some of the holes.
Because the fruit was fermenting in the body, the other holes were blocked with wooden plugs.
Huchu has a very docile temperament and is also very timid.
Seeing the stranger, Populus euphratica, barging in, many Huhuhu hid under the rocks in the park in fear.
For dinner, the old lady specially prepared fermented tree juice.
Populus euphratica took a sip and found that it tasted unexpectedly delicious, with a sweet and sour taste, which was very appetizing.
"Is it not bad?" the old woman asked with a gentle smile on her face.
Hu Yang hummed, and if he had a chance later, he would also like to raise a few kettles on the island.
"The fermented tree juice in Huhu is very time-sensitive." As if aware of his intention, the old woman said slowly: "It won't work if it's too early, and it won't work if it's too late."
"You just saw the unfermented tree juice. For trainers, that is a very bad thing."
Hu Yangmoran, yes, all Pokémon who see you will fall in love with you, even Pokémon with a trainer.
This is simply an alternative version of the Minotaur. Fortunately, he took back the Pokémon around him into the Poké Ball early in the afternoon.
"If the fermentation time is too long, the taste of the tree juice will become very bad. Although Huchu doesn't mind, for us humans, drinking this kind of spoiled tree juice will upset our stomachs."
"So, if you want to raise Huhu, you need to pay attention to the fermentation progress of tree juice in their bodies every day. This is a very troublesome thing!"
