A week passed quickly, and with the chirping of cicadas and the sound of waves coming from the mountains behind, the Pokémon School finally ushered in its annual long vacation.
We are all facing separation, even though we are deeply reluctant to say goodbye, we still sincerely wish each other the best.
Seeing the sad expressions on their faces, Hu Yang smiled and took out his camera.
Dr. Ku Kuyin on the side saw the camera and was surprised: "Wow! It's an antique!"
In recent years, technology has developed rapidly, and things like cameras have been updated and iterated several times. Nowadays, this style is hard to see.
Hearing this, Hu Yang looked down at the camera in his hand with nostalgic eyes and said: "I bought this eight years ago when I first went on a trip."
"No wonder!" Dr. Ku Kuyin suddenly understood. He saw Hu Yang's meaning and called out to Xiaozhi and the others enthusiastically: "Everyone, come over here and take a group photo! I don't know when we will be able to see each other in the future.
!”
"Yes!" Shui Lian wiped her tears and ran over with Lillie.
Everyone and their Pokémon gathered together and stood in a row, with Hu Yang and Kukuin, the tallest, standing behind the children.
They asked a teacher next door to come over and help take pictures.
The teacher held the camera and kept saying: "Xiao Zhi, lean a little further to the left!"
"Lilia, don't be so nervous, relax!"
"Kachi, don't look so serious on your face, just smile!"
"Momane, don't stand on your tiptoes intentionally, the screen can capture you."
"Look at Shuilian and Mao, yes, that's it!"
"Okay, come on, one, two, three, Alola!"
Everyone: "Alola!"
With the sound of "kacha", the picture freezes, and everyone in the photo has a smile on their face.
"Thanks!"
Hu Yang thanked the teacher, then took the camera, printed out eight photos, handed them to everyone in front of him one by one, and said to them: "Here, here is the proof of your friendship."
Everyone reached out and took it, holding the photo in their hands with great care.
"Okay, everyone, let's go!"
Hu Yang and Dr. Ku Kuyin stood side by side, looking at the six people in front of them.
"Um!"
Lillie and the others waved goodbye to the teachers, turned around and left the Pokémon School, taking steps towards their new path in life.
Soon, only Hu Yang, Ku Ku Yin and Xiao Zhi were left here.
"I'm going home too!" Hu Yang said with a smile. He looked at Xiaozhi next to Kukuyin and said: "Goodbye, Xiaozhi!"
"Goodbye, Senior Hu Yang!" Xiaozhi said: "If you have time, go to Zhenxin Town to play!"
"Well, it will pass." Hu Yang smiled and nodded.
Xiaozhi was about to leave Alola and return to Zhenxin Town. It was an afternoon flight and he didn't have much time to stay here.
He planned to use the remaining time to say goodbye to Roaring Xiaohu and Mumu Xiao.
Hu Yang watched Xiaozhi and Kukuyin turn around and leave. After they could no longer be seen, he picked up the photo and looked at it intently.
For a moment, Hu Yang sighed softly, then turned around, turned over and rode on the back of the fire-breathing dragon.
"Let's go! Go home!"
"Ouch!"
The fire-breathing dragon let out a roar, spread its wings and flew high into the sky.
Hu Yang lowered his head in the air and looked down at everything below. He saw the crowd in the school rushing forward like a river, eventually branching into different branches at the intersection and flowing in different directions.
Maybe, life is like this.
Reunion and separation, joy and sadness, the eternal thing is the friendship and memories that shine like pearls and diamonds.
The fire-breathing dragon carried Populus euphratica and flew towards the ecological island.
Xiaozhi and others also started their new journey.
Hauale City Port, a large ship docked on the coast.
This is a giant luxury cruise ship that travels around the world. Next, it is the turn of the Galar region, which is famous for the Gigantamax battle.
Lillie, wearing a white sun hat, stood on the deck, looked at her brother and mother in front of her, and asked softly: "Mom, are you going to look for dad with us? What about the Ether Foundation?"
In Lillie's impression, Lusamine had always been busy with work and rarely had time to rest.
Hearing this, Lusamine looked far away at the blue sea: "When you were young, I was always unable to spend more time with you because of work. Now that I think about it, I feel very regretful."
"Mom..." Lillie was slightly startled.
Lusamine looked at her daughter, smiled and said, "Now let's set out as a family to find that guy!"
…
Dr. Ku Kuyin's home.
Xiaozhi looked at the Pokémon he met in the Alola area in front of him, and said to Dr. Kukuyin on the side: "Dr. Kukuyin, these guys will be left to you for the time being!"
"Don't worry!" Dr. Kukuyin said, "I will take good care of them."
Xiaozhi hummed, said goodbye to the Pokémon in front of him, and then boarded the plane back to Zhenxin Town.
…
Team Rocket's secret base.
Meowth, Musashi and Kojiro are packing their things.
"The survey in the Alola area is finally over, Meow~" Meow turned around, looked at Mimikyu, Good and Bad, and Wear Bear and other Pokémon, and asked reluctantly: "We are leaving, what should we do with these guys?"
Meow?"
Kojiro smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, the boss called the day before yesterday and said that the Pokémon captured in the Alola area can be brought to the island for foster care, and Daizhi will help take care of them."
"That's right." Musashi looked at Mimikyu and felt a little happy in his heart: "In this way, when we have our own home in the future, we can take them over and live with us."
"This is really great, nya~"
"Everything is packed, let's go! It's time to go back to the ecological island to report to the boss and Daizhi!"
…
Fengyuan area, Weibai Town, ecological island.
Populus euphratica passed through the portal and returned to his home.
"I'm back!"
Hearing his voice, the Pokémon in the zoo immediately gathered around.
Hu Yang hugged Bogaman, rubbed his cheek with it, and asked with a smile: "Did you miss me?"
"Bojiajia~"
At this time, Daizhi came down from upstairs. He looked at Hu Yang and asked: "There are many reporters who want to interview you. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"About what?" Hu Yang asked.
Dai Zhi: "Maybe it's because they are curious about you as the person behind the Ancient Moon Bird Foundation! The foundation office building has received many invitations during this period."
Hu Yang shook his head: "It's better to forget it and push it all away!"
Dai Zhi nodded gently: "Okay, then I will go over and give them a reply."
"Well, please."
Hu Yang said to Dai Zhi that he had other things he wanted to do.
Maybe he was moved by the scene. At this moment, he just wanted to see everyone in the ecological park and see the Pokémon who would always be by his side and live with him.
"I understand." Daizhi nodded and turned to work.
Populus euphratica held Bogaman in his arms and walked around the ecological park.
There, Regichicas stood in the backyard like a loyal guard, guarding the safety of the ecological park.
"Long time no see, big guy!" Hu Yang said with a smile.
Seeing him coming, Regichkas greeted him with his slightly bulky body.
"I'm just coming to see you." Hu Yang said.
Because it makes him feel at ease.
Regichkas seemed to understand. He didn't understand what the other party meant, but he could feel the warmth in the other party.
Populus euphratica patted its arm, "Okay, continue to rest. This time I can stay with you for a long, long time. You will no longer be sleeping alone under the cold temple like before!"
Regichkas was very happy. When he was happy, he stretched out his huge and thick arms and hugged the human in front of him.
Populus euphratica didn't struggle, stayed with Rejichicas for a while, then said goodbye to it, and turned to the place where the ancient coelacanths lived.
He quietly watched the thousand-year-old fish on the shore for a while.
The ancient coelacanths are still the same as before, spitting bubbles in the lake water with dull eyes.
At this time, a relatively young-looking ancient coelacanth discovered him.
It swam to the surface of the water and looked at him with its dull eyes. It just looked at him quietly and made no other movements.
Through telepathy, Populus euphratica understood its meaning.
This ancient coelacanth is asking: "Where did that golden fish go?"
The golden fish, this should be said to be King Magikarp.
Populus euphratica was a little surprised, but still replied: "It lives in another place on the island. Do you want to see it?"
The ancient coelacanth responded.
"I know, I'm going to bring it over now."
With that said, Hu Yang turned around, found the Gyarados that was fighting against the rapids, and brought it to the Ancient Coelacanth.
After Magikarp evolved, both his personality and momentum have undergone great changes.
Feeling the terrifying aura and that ferocious face, the ancient coelacanth in the lake was immediately frightened and hid in the lake.
Among them is the young coelacanth just now.
Populus euphratica: "..." Good guy, it's okay to not recognize people after evolution.
Perhaps there is no concept of evolution in the mind of the ancient coelacanth?
Or is it because their brain capacity is too small and Gyarados has been separated from them for several years?
After thinking for a moment, Populus euphratica told the ancient coelacanth that this Gyarados was the Magikarp.
The ancient coelacanth looked at Gyarados, his eyes dull.
Hu Yang: "..."
He had no choice but to send Gyarados back to where it lived.
After parting ways with Gyarados, Populus euphratica came to the farm.
There, he saw Rose Redo teaching a group of beautiful flowers and walking grass how to better control the grass attribute energy and use them to take care of the plants.
The beautiful flowers studied very seriously. Populus euphratica did not come forward to disturb them, but just stood in the distance and watched.
He looked at it for a while before turning around and leaving, continuing to walk forward, and soon arrived at the orchard.
There, Populus euphratica met a Kuailong who was picking fruits from the tree.
When Kuailong saw him, he immediately came over to him affectionately, stretched out his big paws, and placed an orange fruit on his paws.
"I won't eat it, you can eat it!" Populus euphratica touched Kuailong's head.
Hearing this, Kuailong thought for a moment, then turned around and motioned for him to sit up.
Populus euphratica didn't know what it was going to do, but he still rode on it.
After he sat firmly, Kuailong flew into the sky and flew all the way to Dragon Valley.
In Dragon Valley, a group of fast dragons are living happily there.
Kuailong landed on a high mountain, sat down on the ground, and began to eat the fruit.
Populus euphratica sat next to it, and looked with it at the Kuailong family playing below.
Suddenly, a dragon saw him.
It happened to be holding a pink flower in its hand, flapped its wings and flew over, flew to Populus euphratica, and handed over the flower in its hand.
"For me?" Hu Yang reached out and took it.
"Woo~" Kuailong let out a melodious cry.
It stretched out Fei Dudu's paw, dragged Populus euphratica and ran down, as if it wanted to take him to see something.
Populus euphratica followed helplessly, and they arrived at the lake.
Kuailong roared into the lake, and then a pink and tender figure emerged from the water.
pink……
That's...a Glitter Mini Dragon?!
Hu Yang was a little shocked and asked quickly: "Is this your baby?"
Kuailong nodded noddingly.
Hu Yang turned around and looked.
The mini dragon was looking at him innocently and curiously with its big, clear and clean eyes.
Populus euphratica stretched out his hand towards it, and the mini dragon slowly swam over, swam to the shore and rubbed its head against the palm of his hand.
"So cute!" Populus euphratica said softly.
He touched the mini dragon's head very gently. After a while, he stood up as if he remembered something, touched his pocket, took out an energy cube from it, broke it into small pieces and fed it to the mini dragon.
.
"Eat it!"
The mini dragon happily ate it.
"So good!"
When the mini dragons were full, Populus euphratica stood up, said goodbye to them, and agreed to play with the mini dragons again tomorrow.
The mini dragon readily agreed and watched Populus euphratica go away with expectant eyes.
After leaving Dragon Valley, Hu Yang stopped by to see the sticky dragons.
The place where the sticky dragons live is next door to the Dragon Valley. When he arrived there, the sticky dragons were lying by the river drinking water.
Hu Yang did not come forward. After seeing that Nian Meilong lived well here, he left here.
Passing through a forest, the sky suddenly turned dark.
When I looked up, it turned out to be a group of wind fairies flying past from above.
It seems that they are doing well in the ecological park.
Hu Yang suddenly felt satisfied.
Next, he went to see the big milk tank in the pasture, the rogue crocodile and the desert dragonfly in the gym, the Kirby beast in the grass, and the three bees in the hive.
After everything was over, Populus euphratica slowly walked toward the ecological park with the wind speed dog he met by chance.
On the way, he met Gengar and Ancient Moon Bird who ran out to look for him, as well as the Double Ax Battle Dragon who was specially trained on the island alone.
Seeing the double-axe fighting dragon, Populus euphratica shouted to it: "Ya Ya, go home!"
Hearing his voice, the Double Ax War Dragon followed the large army.
They returned to the ecological park together, and when they opened the door, Populus euphratica saw Gardevoir and his daughter sitting by the window, watering a pot of flowers.
"You guys can play here!" Hu Yang yawned, touched Gengar's head, and said, "I'm a little tired from walking just now, and I want to take a rest."
"Go!" Gengar responded obediently, and then began to play with Bogaman.
With a smile on his face, Hu Yang glanced at everyone, then walked up to the second floor.
The Ancient Moon Bird also flew over after him.
"Why are you here too? Are you tired too?" Hu Yang asked.
Gu Yueniao was still so stupid: "Gah."
"I see, I understand." Hu Yang said with a smile: "Then let's take a nap together!"
He took the Ancient Moon Bird back to his room, and the Ancient Moon Bird automatically fell into his nest, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Hu Yang sat at his desk and took out the photo he had just taken at the Pokémon School.
He picked up the pen and wrote a line of words in the blank space on the back of the photo.
——Hu Yang and everyone, on August 31, 216 in the alliance calendar.
After finishing writing, Hu Yang put the photos into the travel album.
He took the photo album with him, lay down in the rocking chair, and slowly looked through the contents.
Gengar and the others are playing in the living room downstairs.
There was a lot of noise outside, the fan inside the house was spinning slowly, and the scorching summer air was blowing on the Populus euphratica.
Hu Yang lay on the rocking chair, holding the photo album and slowly closed his eyes. He felt very calm. He had memories to accompany him, enough to support him until he grew old.
