Phoenix King, who flew here from far away, looked at the small island below, with a somewhat incredible look in his eyes.
It never thought that one day it would allow humans to stay in human cities for a while.
As a legendary Pokémon among humans, Ho-Oh has an almost infinite life.
It has witnessed the birth and death of human beings with its own eyes. Their lives are really too short.
What exactly is it for?
The scene when he saw the boy for the first time came to King Feng's mind.
At that time, in that human being, it saw the karmic fate that it would have with him.
It didn't understand it at the time.
But now it seems that everything was an arrangement of fate.
Phoenix King looked at the tall tower that existed in his memory.
I really didn't expect that the Hero of the Rainbow would rebuild this place for it.
The Phoenix King slowly landed on the top of the tower and looked up in other directions.
There, it felt several powerful forces.
…
"Phoenix King!"
At the bottom of the Bell Tower, Populus euphratica waved to the Phoenix King above.
King Feng withdrew his gaze and landed on the ground.
Hu Yang smiled and greeted Feng Wang: "Long time no see."
King Feng nodded with gentle eyes and asked: "Is this where you live?"
"Yes!" Hu Yang grinned and said, "Have Emperor Yan and the others not come here yet?"
King Feng replied telepathically: "Come here soon."
"All right."
So, the Phoenix King temporarily stayed in the Bell Tower.
Hu Yang originally thought that the second one to arrive here would be Thunder God. After all, compared with Yandi Shuijun, it could soar into the clouds and mist and fly directly over.
But what he didn't expect was that the second person to arrive on the island was Emperor Yan.
When it came ashore with wet fur, it was immediately discovered by the Porygon monitoring the island, and the news was conveyed to Populus euphratica.
When Populus euphratica rushed over, Emperor Yan was standing on the shore, vigorously shaking the water from his fur. His expression looked like that of a big tiger that had just emerged from the water.
Big tiger……
The image of a swimming tiger appeared in Populus euphratica's mind.
Well, it’s normal for big cats to be able to swim.
"Let's go!" Hu Yang said with a smile as he looked at Emperor Yan who was throwing away the water.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan paused slightly. He originally wanted to use the holy fire to bake his fur, but after hesitating for a second, he raised his feet and followed him with his wet fur.
One person and one holy beast entered the living room. Hu Yang took out the hair dryer, turned it to warm air mode, and began to help Yan Emperor blow up his fur.
Feeling a pair of hands walking around his body, Emperor Yan felt a little uncomfortable at first.
But soon, when the fur on its body was blown dry and the fur that he could not usually tidy up was smoothed, Emperor Yan narrowed his eyes in comfort.
at this time.
Emperor Yan suddenly heard a barking sound.
It opened its eyes and saw a petite dog Pokémon sitting in front of it, looking at it with a pair of curious and bright eyes.
"This is Kati Dog, the child I just hatched not long ago." Hu Yang introduced.
As he said that, he looked at Kati Dog again: "Kadi Dog, this is Emperor Yan, he is a very powerful guy!"
Katigou seemed to understand what he heard, and tilted his head to look at Emperor Yan: "Woof woof?"
As if sensing that Hu Yang was familiar with the big guy in front of him, the Kati dog immediately ran to Emperor Yan enthusiastically and licked its fur with his tongue.
Populus euphratica said happily: "It seems to like you very much!"
Emperor Yan: "..."
Seeing this scene, Emperor Yan felt that a certain instinct hidden deep in his body was about to move.
Just as Populus euphratica had almost blown the fur on its body, Emperor Yan held down the Kati dog with his paws and stretched out his tongue to help smooth the fur on its body.
Seeing Emperor Yan's action, Hu Yang was a little surprised.
But soon, he said with a smile: "It seems that the Katy dog likes you very much. If that is the case, then I will ask you to take care of my Katy dog for a while!"
Therefore, Emperor Yan, who was usually very dignified, took over the job of helping to take care of the children on the first day he came to the island.
When Suicune and Raikou arrived on the island, what they saw was this scene——
Emperor Yan was lying on a piece of grass, and a Cady dog was playing in circles around him. When it got tired of playing, it leaned against Emperor Yan and yawned.
Suicune, Thunder Lord: "..."
The three holy beasts started an encrypted call.
Shuijun was a little surprised: "Who is this little guy?"
Emperor Yan's expression was majestic: "The child hatched by Populus euphratica."
Thunder Lord, who is usually relatively withdrawn, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this sentence. He thought Entei was joking, so he said in a calm tone: "Humans cannot give birth to Pokémon."
Suicune's face was also filled with confusion.
Seeing them like this, the expression on Emperor Yan's face almost stopped, and he said speechlessly: "They hatched from eggs."
Shuijun: "..."
Lei Gong: "..."
At this time, Machado floated out.
Suicune turned his head, looked at it and asked, "Where is Populus euphratica?"
Machado: "He went to a human town to buy things."
Before he finished speaking, a fast dragon descended from the sky.
Hu Yang, who was carrying large and small bags, slid off Kuailong's body, and his eyes lit up when he saw Raikou and Suicune in front of him.
"Already arrived?"
Suicune nodded.
Hu Yang put the things into the room, then ran out, smiled and started to pick up the group of stuffed animals in front of him.
Marshado, who was watching on the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the wild smile on his face.
Alas, this guy has not changed at all after so many years.
Perverted plush control!
Suicune sat next to Mashado, looked at Raikou over there, and said softly: "Thunder Lord, he has become different from before."
Machado was slightly startled.
He raised his head and looked at Lei Gong who was lying on the ground, putting a meat pad on Populus euphratica's hand for him to play with, and nodded in agreement.
According to the past, the withdrawn Lei Gong would not even appear in front of humans, let alone being so close to humans!
And now...
Did Populus euphratica change its view of humans?
The answer is yes.
What he saw on the island during this period of time came to mind in Mashado's mind, and he said in a faint tone: "I have never felt this way before."
Shui Jun said: "Lord Phoenix King said that our encounter with him was a fateful arrangement."
For some reason, at this moment, the thought "It would be great if this kind of excitement could exist forever" came to Suicune's mind.
Upon hearing this, Machado paused and said nothing.
The gray flames on its body beat silently, and after a while, in an unknown corner, Mashado let out a silent sigh.
…
With the arrival of Feng Wang and his family, the entire ecological island suddenly became more lively.
Hu Yang purchased enough new year goods and decorative props in Weibai Town, and together with Slow King Gengar and the others, they built a playground for Pokémon to play in the open space in front of the ecological park.
There is a large maze made of ice, slides, ice sculptures decorated with colored lights, etc.
It took them about a week to build the playground.
As Hu Yang expected, all the Pokémon in the zoo like this place.
On the first day it was built, Pippi, Metal Monster, Pikachu, Gengar, Rose Redo, Beautiful Flower and other Pokémon played hide-and-seek games inside.
Amid a burst of laughter, the trio returned to the ecological park and successfully brought back the wind chime that Kojiro had stored in the mansion.
When they came back, the trio suddenly showed shocked expressions on their faces when they saw the three holy beasts in the living room.
"What, Meow?!" Meow was shocked: "What's going on with these Pokémon, Meow?!"
"Entei, Suicune, Raikou!" Kojiro recognized their names at a glance.
Musashi turned his attention to Populus euphratica making soup in the kitchen: "Boss!"
Populus euphratica came out with a pot of steaming soup and replied with a smile: "They are my friends who came to the island to celebrate the New Year with us."
"Celebrate...New Year?!" Kojiro still didn't react: "They are legendary Pokémon?!"
Hu Yang shrugged, completely unable to understand Kojiro's shock at this time: "Is there anything strange? And aren't Groudon and Kyogre always on this island?"
"Yes!" The trio suddenly realized and stared at the three holy beasts for a while, then did not dwell on this matter any further.
Hu Yang put the soup on the dining table and asked, "Did it go well this time?"
Mentioning this matter, Kojiro's face became visibly happy: "It went very smoothly!"
As he said that, he took out an elf ball and released the wind chime from it: "Thank you very much, boss!"
Wind Chime Ling is also very happy: "Ling Ling~"
Looking at the wind chime that had recovered its health, Populus euphratica nodded and said no more.
As for what the trio called him...
Because they thought it was very strange to call them by name directly and couldn't say it out loud, so Populus euphratica let them go.
With the return of the trio, the arrival of the New Year is getting closer and closer.
December 31, 212, Alliance Calendar.
In winter, snowflakes began to fall throughout the Hoenn region.
The ecological island is no exception. The ground has been covered with a thick layer of snow early.
In this weather, except for some ice-type Pokémon, all other Pokémon outside have returned home.
Even Kirby specially moved its sleeping place from outside to the ecological park.
On the last day of the year, it was rare for Kirby to not fall down and fall asleep after eating its food.
Populus euphratica took out the scarf, put it on for Kirby, and touched its swollen belly to make it sleep well.
Kirby sat on the ground. After Populus euphratica put on the scarf, it lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
Hu Yang then turned around, glanced at the snowy night outside, and returned to the living room.
"Boss, the New Year's Eve dinner will be ready soon, meow!"
Meow meow happily ran out of the kitchen and said to Hu Yang.
Except for Kojiro, among the trio, Musashi and Miaomiao had no homes, so Hu Yang asked them to stay on the island to celebrate the New Year with him.
Meow looked very happy, feeling a warmth that he hadn't seen in a long time.
Hu Yang nodded and prepared to go to other places on the island to see the situation of Pokémon there.
He told King Daidai and others about this, and then walked out with Gengar.
Musashi and Kojiro had nothing to do recently, so they began to study recipes, and their cooking skills improved greatly in just a few weeks.
Hu Yang simply left the preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner to them.
Now, Musashi and Kojiro are preparing New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen.
Meow Meow ran to the copy Meow Meow and sat down next to it. Together with it, they looked at the snowflakes outside the window and said softly:
"Maybe, this is what home feels like, right?"
Copy Meow Meow glanced at it, a little worried: "Meow Meow..."
Hearing this, Miao Miao was slightly startled: "What? You said you were worried about Mewtwo?"
Copy Meow Meow nodded.
Meowth comforted: "It's okay, Chaomeng is a very powerful Pokémon, Meowth! Even Boss Sakaki is not its opponent, and it will definitely not encounter dangerous Meowth outside!"
Copy Miaomiao felt a little relieved.
…
After leaving the ecological park, Populus euphratica went to the hive of the queen bee and the three bees.
Through the window, he saw that these bee Pokémon had closed their eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
"They are all asleep." Gengar said.
Hu Yang hummed and did not stay here any longer: "Let's go, let's go see the situation of the big milk cans again."
In winter, the temperature drops sharply, and some Pokémon are not adapted to the cold winter and will get sick as a result.
For this reason, Populus euphratica has moved all Xie Mi and the beautiful flowers from the island to the ecological garden.
The ecological park has a constant temperature all year round, a warm climate, and flowers bloom all year round. It is the most suitable winter destination for Pokémon like Xie Mi.
In Moo Mo Ranch.
When Populus euphratica arrived here with Gengar, the group of big milk tanks were also lying on the grass, clinging to each other and falling asleep.
Populus euphratica adjusted the heater in the room to a suitable temperature, and then filled the slots with grass so that the big milk cans could eat there when they woke up early tomorrow morning.
After doing this, Hu Yang went to the Pokémon Center to take a look at the Geely Eggs. After finding that they were all asleep, he turned and walked towards the ecological park.
The snow has been falling for a long time, and when you step on it, there is a rustling sound.
The sky in the distance lit up with bright fireworks, which were people from other cities celebrating the arrival of the New Year.
Hu Yang looked at that scene and said softly: "It's the fifth year."
"By the way, your scarf is frayed, do you really not want to consider replacing it?" Hu Yang turned his head, glanced at Gengar wearing a scarf, and asked.
That scarf was the one he gave to Gengar back then.
Bargains bought in the mall for dozens of alliance coins.
Hu Yang also wanted to buy a better one for Geng Gui, but he didn't have that much money at the time, and now that he has money, Geng Gui has been unwilling to change it.
As expected, when he heard this, Gengar immediately shook his head: "I can still wear it!"
Hu Yang laughed and said, "Even the new scarf was given to you by me. Is there any difference between the two of them?"
Gengar thought for a while and found out that this was the case, but he didn't know why. He just felt that this scarf was different from the new scarf.
"No!" Gengar refused.
"Okay." Hu Yang was a little helpless. He didn't expect Gengar to be more nostalgic than him.
At this time, the snow fell even harder.
Hu Yang tightened his clothes, said nothing more, and walked forward quickly with Gengar.
They walked towards the ecological park and towards their home in the heavy snow.
