Hu Yang, who successfully arrived in Hualan City, told King Dadai what had happened during this period when he called the ecological park.
At the end, Hu Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Lucario waited in the scepter for a thousand years before he found his own hero. This kind of thing sounds really... so touching!"
The Slow King on the other side of the screen also nodded emotionally and said: "For Lucario, it must be very happy to see Yalang again."
"Yes!" Hu Yang sighed. He thought that Yalang and Lucario were no longer here, and he suddenly felt a complicated feeling in his heart.
Upon seeing this, King Dadai blinked, then changed the topic and said: "By the way, Populus euphratica, have you seen the news? It seems that someone is looking for you on the Internet."
Hu Yang's attention was immediately diverted. He was slightly startled and asked: "What?"
King Daidai showed an expression that showed he knew you weren't looking, and then he brought a portable computer, tapped the keyboard a few times, and a news report played on the computer screen.
The protagonist, Populus Hu, is no stranger to him. He is none other than the museum administrator Ben Gray whom he had met before in the water capital of Odomare.
A reporter was interviewing him: "Can you tell me a little more about the tsunami that almost submerged the entire city in Odomare not long ago?"
Ben Gray nodded and said: "It was a disaster caused by two greedy female thieves. In order to steal the legendary treasure Heart Drop, they activated the mechanism in the museum, which then triggered a large tsunami.
.”
The reporter nodded and asked: "Well, Mr. Bengre, do you know about the legendary Infinite Pokémon, Latios and Latias, appearing in the city? It is said that many people watched it.
When it comes to their presence, some people say that they saved the city from the flood."
Ben Gray did not answer this question directly, but said:
"Odomare is a city that is affected by legendary Pokémon. A long time ago, the legend of Latios and Latias spread on the island."
"I think they must have felt the disaster on the island, so they took the initiative to help us humans, right?"
The reporter said excitedly: "It's just like what is recorded in the legend! I heard that several trainers gained their friendship and helped them save the island. Is that true?"
Ben Gray smiled slightly and nodded: "That's right. It is precisely because of them that Odomare was able to survive intact. I think I should thank them on behalf of this city."
"Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, and Populus euphratica, the city of Odomare will always welcome you. In addition, Populus euphratica, please be sure to come to Odomale if you have time."
The interview ends here.
Populus euphratica was a little surprised.
The movie version of "The Guardian Saint of Water City" has already happened?
Judging from Ben Gray's appearance, Latios's fate seemed to have changed. He did not die, but survived.
This was the best, and it wouldn't be in vain for him to make a special trip to Odomare.
Ben Gray's last words sounded like he wanted to give him a thank you gift.
But Populus euphratica has no intention of passing.
He just didn't want to see Latios die.
As for the rest, why should we care so much?
King Daidai asked: "Do you want to go there?"
Hu Yang shook his head: "I won't go. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I will go back after taking a walk around Guandu."
There are still a lot of things to deal with when we return to the island, the most important of which is to get familiar with the current ecological island.
Compared with when he left at the beginning of the year, the island has undergone earth-shaking changes this year.
Not only the newly added Pokémon, but also the appearance of the ecological island.
According to King Daidai, the flowers, plants and trees they planted grew very lush under the cultivation of Celebi, the god of the forest.
In addition to these, there is also the matter of bringing Rose Redo back for the New Year.
"Okay." King Daidai nodded and said, "We will wait for you to come back on the island."
"Well, okay, I will bring you gifts back." Hu Yang said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone and looking at the city surrounded by waterways in front of him, Hu Yang planned to visit the nearby Zhenghui Lighthouse to see if he could get any news about the giant dragon in the anime.
When he first watched the anime, the huge dragon with super strength, always appearing in the mist, and full of mystery attracted his attention for a long time.
"Where are you going to Tom next?" Rotom asked with the Rotom illustrated book floating in the air.
Hu Yang thought for a while and then said: "Search for the location of Zhenghui Lighthouse."
"Received Tom!" The Rotom illustrated book upgraded by Slow King is equipped with a map function for each region. In addition to introducing the illustrated book, it can also help with navigation and guide the trainer to the next city with a gym.
It avoids detours.
Soon, Rotom's illustrated book found its destination: "Successfully found the location of the Zhenghui Lighthouse! It is located on the seaside cliff northeast of Cerulean City in the Kanto region!"
The destination is determined, take Rotom with you, and Populus euphratica starts to head there.
When he arrived at Zhenghui Lighthouse, it was already evening.
The sea looked dark, and the Zhenghui lighthouse stood on the cliff by the sea. Two beams of light flashed on it, guiding the direction of the ships sailing in the sea.
Hu Yang stepped forward and knocked on the door, asking, "Is anyone there?"
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and then the door opened, and a man wearing a researcher's coat walked out.
The man's appearance was slightly slovenly, his green hair looked a bit messy, and he looked like he had stayed up all night.
Before Hu Yang could speak, the man showed a surprised expression after seeing his face clearly: "You...you...you are Hu Yang?!"
Yeah? Zhenghui knows him?
Populus euphratica nodded slightly and said, "It's me."
"Oh my God!" Zhenghui looked very surprised. He rubbed his messy hair and said a little incoherently: "Why are you here? No, I mean are you traveling in the Kanto area recently?"
"Uh..." Hu Yang nodded: "Yes, I was traveling in the Kanto area and happened to pass by here, so I wanted to come over and ask if I could stay here for a night."
"Of course!" Zhenghui said happily: "Please come in quickly!"
Hu Yang: "..." Something is wrong!
Zhenghui, what’s going on?
Why are you so enthusiastic about him?
Following Zhenghui into the lighthouse, before Hu Yang could speak, he heard a familiar voice from the side.
"Populus euphratica?"
Hu Yang turned around and saw Dr. Ohki's figure on the screen of a video phone placed in the hall.
He was a little surprised: "Dr. Omu?"
Dr. Omu smiled and nodded: "Well, has the egg you sent over last time hatched?"
"Not yet." Populus euphratica shook his head. He had already sent the eggs and the guoran weng back to the ecological park, where they would slowly hatch.
Dr. Ohmu was not surprised by this answer, and just said: "If you talk to that egg more, maybe you can make it hatch faster."
Hu Yang was a little embarrassed: "Because it's a bit busy traveling with so many Pokémon at the same time."
Let’s not talk about the upbringing and training. Just cooking takes a long time every day.
Hearing this, Dr. Oak showed an understanding expression: "So, the alliance has determined six as the optimal number of Pokémon for trainers to carry with them while traveling."
Seeing that the two looked familiar, Zhenghui was a little surprised. He looked at Dr. Omu, then at Populus euphratica, widened his eyes and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Dr. Omu smiled and nodded: "Well, we have known each other a long time ago."
Hu Yang raised his eyebrows. Now he knew why Dr. Omu seemed so familiar to him when he first saw him.
It turned out that he knew his name from the beginning.
