"Hey, tourists heading to Odomare please go this way!"
On the ship, the tour guide from the travel agency held a loudspeaker to guide the tourists behind to the rest area.
The tourists' faces were filled with expectant smiles, and they communicated their inner expectations for the trip in a friendly manner.
Children holding ice cream were playing on the ship, adults were laughing and chatting aside, and several long-winged gulls flew in the sky in the distance. There was a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere everywhere.
Hu Yang put on a sunhat and sunglasses that he just bought for himself, and asked Gengar in front of him: "How is it? Are you handsome?"
Geng Gui took a look and said happily: "Kou Jie!"
Hu Yang grinned, then took out a sun eye and threw it at Geng Gui. When Geng Gui took it, he lay down on the sun lounger behind him.
Soon, Gengar put on sunglasses and floated forward, blocking the sunlight in the area above Populus euphratica.
Hu Yang opened one eye.
Geng Gui showed a row of white teeth and asked: "What about me?"
"It's cool!" Hu Yang praised.
Gengar was very happy, and then he lay down next to Populus euphratica and basked in the sun.
At this time, the voice of the tour guide from the travel agency introducing the legends spread in Odomare came from next door.
"Is this your first time to go to Aldomare? Let me tell you secretly, our Aldomare has a very long history! There are also legends about infinite Pokémon circulating in this place!"
These words immediately aroused the interest of the group of tourists from other regions.
Under their repeated questioning, the tour guide mysteriously said:
"It is said that a long time ago, there lived an old father-in-law and an old woman on an island called Odomare."
"They fished from the sea with their hands and made a living until one day they rescued a pair of injured little brothers and sisters on the beach."
"The two old men rescued them and took them home and took good care of them. Soon, the injuries sustained by the two children gradually healed. From then on, they lived happily together."
"But suddenly one day, evil monsters came to invade the island, and terrible waves rolled up on the sea. Just when the island was about to be swallowed up by the monsters, the appearance of the brother and sister changed in front of the old father-in-law and the old woman."
"They transformed from humans into two Pokémon. It turns out that they are the legendary infinite Pokémon Latios and Latias!"
"In order to protect the two old men, Latias and Latios flew into the air and called their companions."
"Latios and Latias arrived and brought the power that can drive away the evil of darkness. It is a gem called the Heart Drop."
"The drop of heart lit up, drove away the monsters, and peace was restored on the island. In order to protect the island, Latios and Latias left the drop of heart here."
"Although they left, they still often visit the island where the Heart Drop is located, and since then, no evil monsters have attacked the island again."
Hearing this, Hu Yang opened his eyes.
The Heart Drop is a prop that can enhance Latias or Latios' power by carrying it with them.
Unlike other props such as evolution stones, miracle seeds, and charcoal, every time a Heart Drop appears in this world, a Latias or Latios will die.
Because the Heart Drop is the soul crystal of those two Pokémon.
After the story was told, the tourists fell into the emotions brought by the story.
At this time, one of the girls holding a book and wearing glasses asked:
"Will Latios and Latias still visit this island now?"
Tour guide: "Who knows? However, it is said that Latias and Latios have the ability to transform into human appearances. Maybe the pedestrians you pass by on the road may be Latias and Latios.
Dios.”
The girl closed the book and sighed softly: "It's so romantic!"
“So, you’ve come to the right place this time!” the tour guide said with a smile: “The charm of Odomare is not only the long history and culture spread here, but also a beautiful city standing alone on the sea.
"
While he was talking, the ship sounded a melodious whistle.
The tour guide suddenly smiled and said: "We're here!"
Everyone came to the deck one after another and looked at the beautiful water city not far away standing quietly on the sparkling sea.
"It's so beautiful!" Looking at this scene, many tourists couldn't help but exclaimed.
Soon, the ship docked at the shore.
Everyone on the boat began to disembark. Populus euphratica followed the endless flow of people into Odomare, and then took a long and narrow flat-bottomed boat with pointed ends, a traditional local transportation, to find a hotel.
Odomare is very large. The architectural style in the city is a typical Venetian architecture. Countless rivers intricately pass through the building. Every few meters, you can see a stone bridge above the canal.
Although it sounds crowded, the buildings in the city are very neatly planned. Instead of being crowded, it gives people a neat and orderly feeling.
Populus euphratica briefly walked around the city and found that the expressions on the faces of the locals were very happy, and there were no traces of the city being ravaged by floods.
Based on these two points, Hu Yang judged the current time.
"Well, the theater version probably hasn't started yet."
With an idea in his mind, Populus euphratica felt relieved and began to stroll around the city leisurely.
He came to a roadside ice cream stall, released the Pokémon one by one, and bought each of them a stick of ice cream.
When the girl selling ice cream saw Bangela having trouble with the ice cream, she covered her mouth and chuckled: "This Bangela doesn't seem to be very interested in ice cream."
Huh? Hu Yang glanced at it and happened to look at Banjira.
Thinking of their previous interactions in his mind, Hu Yang suddenly realized that his Bangela did not like sweets.
"I do not want to eat?"
Bangila nodded, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Don't worry too much." Hu Yang took it, took out a stone from his backpack and made an exchange with Bangila.
Banjira grew up eating stones. Before evolving, when it first hatched from the egg, Yukira would start eating stones and soil from the ground up until it reached the ground.
"Is this your first time coming to Odomare?" the girl asked enthusiastically.
"Yes." Hu Yang nodded.
Girl: "Then I recommend you to visit the Great Cathedral in the north! It is a very famous building in Odomare."
"OK."
Hu Yang thought for a while, and it happened that it was still early, so he could go there and have a look.
There are too many people on the street, and releasing so many Pokémon at the same time is really eye-catching.
After eating the ice cream, Hu Yang put them all back into the elf ball, and then rushed towards the Great Cathedral alone in the direction pointed by the girl.
After crossing several rivers, everything in front of us soon became clear.
A majestic cathedral appeared directly in front, and in front of the cathedral stood two tall stone pillars with images of Latias and Latios carved on them.
Walking down the stairs into the Great Holy Church, Hu Yang saw a very special device in the center of the Great Holy Church.
It's this device.
It can use the power of the Heart Drop and Latios Latias to protect the island, but in the movie, it was used by the villain and became a tool to destroy the island.
Hu Yang raised his head and looked at this scene thoughtfully.
At this time, a voice came from beside him:
"For the sake of peace, people in the old days built this device and the Tower of the Sun out of gratitude to Latias and Latios. It is said that when disaster strikes, it can be used to protect the island. But unfortunately,
Its use has been lost."
Hu Yang turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man beside him.
The man smiled and introduced himself randomly: "Hello, my name is Ben Gray, and I am the tour guide of this great church."
Hu Yang also greeted the other party politely: "Hello."
The man who called himself Ben Gray nodded and did not interrupt again. He said, "Please continue to visit, and come back to me if you need anything." Then he turned and left.
Looking at his back, Hu Yang's identity emerged in his mind.
Ben Gray is a key character in the theatrical version. He and his tribe have guarded the island's patron saints Latios and Latias for generations.
"We can just give him the things directly." Hu Yang said in his heart.
At the end of the theatrical version, Latios turned into a drop of heart water and disappeared from the world because his physical strength and energy were exhausted.
If there had been a resurrection potion made by Slow King using resurrection grass, which could instantly restore a Pokémon's physical strength to its peak state, then that ending would never happen again.
However, if he suddenly went over and told the other party that the island would be in crisis in the near future and Latios died to save the island, would the other party believe it?
Hu Yang pondered for a moment, feeling that Ben Gray might not only not believe him, but might even regard him as a lunatic.
However, the specific content will have to wait until you try it.
He couldn't wait here for Xiaozhi to come over and wait for the plot to happen. Besides, he had already come over, and he couldn't watch Latios die anymore.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Hu Yang chose to find Ben Gray directly and said to him:
"Latios and Latias have been targeted. In the near future, they will be arrested, and the other party will use the Heart Drop and Latias to activate the device here."
Ben Gray: "?"
Suddenly hearing these words, the man froze on the spot.
He opened his eyes wide in disbelief. The first thing he did not care about was the future, but like most ordinary people, he asked:
"How do you know this?!"
Knowing that he protects Latios and Latias, as well as the important Heart Drop.
"These are not important." Hu Yang shook his head, looked at him, and continued: "The important thing is that Latios will die soon."
Only then did Ben Gray come back to his senses. He did not think that he was crazy as Hu Yang thought, but instead frowned with a serious expression.
"Who's targeting them?" Ben Gray asked.
"They are two female thieves."
"Female thief..." Ben Gray murmured, he frowned and said, "Why are you telling me this?"
"I just don't want to see Latios die."
It seemed that he had not expected this answer. Ben Gray couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't believe it at first, but when he heard this sentence, he had a vague premonition.
That means what the other person said is true.
So……
"Who are you?" Ben Gray asked again.
Hu Yang shook his head, took out two bottles of resurrection potion from his backpack, and said: "You don't need to know who I am, this thing will be helpful to you one day in the future, when Latios is in crisis
, just give it a use."
Ben Gray took it blankly.
Seeing this, Populus euphratica retracted his hand, turned around and left.
It's not that he doesn't want to deal with the two female thieves directly, it's just that finding them in the huge crowd is a fantasy.
And after such a long time, Hu Yang couldn't even remember their names, let alone their looks.
Another regret from watching the anime was solved. On the way back, Hu Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Well, next there are Aaron and Lucario.
It just so happens that Celebi is here and can take him back to the past.
Counting the time, 211 is coming to an end soon, and in two months time will officially enter 212.
Thinking of the previous conversation with Dialga, Hu Yang thought for a while and decided to temporarily end his trip to the Chengdu region and go directly to the Kanto region to wake up Lucario in Orudran City and send him to the past.
By Yalang's side.
At night, Hu Yang lay on the bed in the hotel, recalling the details of the theater version of Yalang and Lucario.
When Yalang sealed Lucario into the cane, he probably didn't expect to see it again.
Lucario waited for Aaron on the cane for a thousand years, and finally walked on the same path as him, dedicating himself to the original tree of the world.
It's quite emotional to say it.
Hu Yang sighed, looked at Gengar beside him, and told him this touching story.
Gengar was very smart. After hearing this, he immediately asked a key question: "But, we sent Lucario back to the past, what should we do with Lucario in the past?"
Hu Yang shook his head: "We won't know until we get there."
Gengar groaned, recalling the face of the human who sealed it in his mind.
But unfortunately, the time lapse has been too long, and those memories have become vague.
At the same time, Ben Gray, full of doubts and suspicions, finished his day's work and returned to the secret garden where Latias and Latios lived.
He stood next to the fountain, looking at his granddaughter Canon who was playing with Latias, and Latios who was silently guarding his sister not far away.
Ben Gray's appearance caught Canon's attention. She stood up and asked worriedly: "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Ben Gray sighed, looked at the two bottles of medicine in his hand that could revive dead Pokémon, and replied: "I met a strange child today."
Sensing Ben Gray's unusual tone, Latios and Latias on the side also cast doubtful glances at him.
But Ben Gray did not tell them more, but smiled softly and said: "It's okay, it's getting late, you should go and rest!"
