The next day, somewhere on the sea in the Orange Islands.
"Wu~"
A riding dragon was driving slowly, making a low sound from time to time and spraying a stream of water behind it.
There are three humans sitting on the hard shell on its back.
"I have long heard that sailing on the back of a dragon is very cool. I feel very good about it!"
Xiaozhi stood in front of the carapace, holding the thorns with one hand and raising his other hand to his brow to look into the distance. An electric mouse was lying on his hat.
The Dragon Rider is a Pokémon that can carry people on long-distance sea voyages. Although this one is not yet an adult, the weight of three people is just right, and another small one may not be able to bear it.
Xiaomao's water arrow turtle is just like Tu Yile. Like its trainer, it will be exhausted after surfing for more than ten minutes. However, even if Chenglong is carrying three people, it can sail for at least 4 or 5 hours.
Each island in the Orange Islands is not too far apart, almost a 2-hour trip. There is no need to worry about the battery life of Chenglong, not to mention its own water storage characteristics. It is simply a small island in the sea.
Perpetual motion machine.
"Well...except that it's a little hard, there's really nothing wrong with it."
Xiaogang and Xiaoxia rubbed their buttocks and tried to find a flat carapace to sit on their sides.
Along the way, the waves were rolling, the gentle sea breeze was blowing, the sailing speed was not fast, and it was drifting like a small boat. From time to time, there were a few Magikarp jumping out of the water. This kind of journey was really impressive.
"According to the travel guide given by Xiaojian, the first gym we are going to is a place called Xiagan Island, located to the west of the Orange Islands..."
Xiaogang held in his hand the map guide Xiaojian left behind when he left, which included the directions of the four Orange League gyms.
"Okay, our first target is Xiagan Island!"
Xiaozhi gave a big command, quite like a captain.
"Wu~~"
Chenglong also roared loudly and responded positively.
Although we only got along with him for less than a day, this Chenglong is outgoing and likes to communicate with humans. He has become completely familiar with them.
"Wu..."
Even during its voyage, it would stick its slender head into the sea every ten minutes, and then it seemed to find something? It raised its head and turned to look at Xiaozhi, with something strange in its mouth.
A few people could barely distinguish these things by relying on illustrated books.
"This seems to be the Heart Scale, some kind of rare prop..."
"This is a good medicine."
"Magical candy? I'll peel it for you and you can eat it yourself."
"I know this? They are broken boots (left)."
This operation also made everyone wonder whether the characteristic of this riding dragon is to store water? Or to collect lost items...?
But at this time, Chenglong once again picked up a strange object? The shell of a glass wine bottle was sealed with a cork, and a folded note could be seen inside.
drifting bottle.
"A distress letter?"
This was the first impression of the drift bottle in the three people's minds. Xiaozhi didn't dare to be careless. He quickly took the bottle and pulled out the cork with a "pop" sound and took out the note inside.
Fortunately, this is not a letter asking for help, but a letter asking for help.
"Have you ever seen the Crystal Rock Snake? If you have any information about the Crystal Rock Snake, please come to A Gong Glass Jewelry Shop on Ougan Island? Thank you very much!"
"—Masamiru."
The geographical location of Ougan Island is also written below, which happens to be the closest island to several people.
The letter was written very simply. It seemed that this person named Zhengmei was looking for a certain Pokémon. It was just a description of this Pokémon, but it instantly piqued the interest of several people.
Crystal rock snake?
A big rock snake is just a big rock snake. How many of you are familiar with it? Even Xiaogang has two? But what does adding crystals in front of it mean? Can a big rock snake also have crystals?
The figure of a large rock snake suddenly appeared in everyone's mind, but the gray-brown rock was replaced by crystal clear crystal. The picture suddenly changed from rough and rough to delicate and elegant.
"Wait a minute, Xiaozhi, do you remember what Dr. Uchigi said before?"
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly remembered what Dr. Uchigi had once talked about about her research project.
Pokémon's regional form differences.
"I remember the flashing appearance of the big rock snake is dark green. If the crystal big rock snake mentioned by this person really exists, this is a major discovery..."
Xiaogang, the elder brother of the Big Rock Snake, showed a serious expression. Maybe it was possible that a crystal Big Rock Snake was born due to factors such as climate and environment, so he had to go and see it no matter what.
"Teacher Gang, do you still remember our agreement?"
Xiaozhi suddenly spoke, with a hint of probing in his tone. The name Crystal Rock Snake alone made his heart flutter, but it was obviously a Pokémon that Xiaogang was good at...
Unexpectedly, Xiaogang simply patted the former's shoulder.
"I remember that we agreed on the spot in the back hill of Zhenxin Town that if a second precious rock snake appears in the future, you will have the right to capture it."
Xiaozhi had already given him the precious giant rock snake at the beginning, so it didn't matter if he gave up the crystal big rock snake to Xiaozhi this time.
Although the Crystal Rock Snake also made him jealous, the brotherhood was obviously much higher.
"Brothers!"
The two of them got together, and the strong brotherly love lingered on Chenglong's back. For a moment, Xiaoxia next to him felt that she was a little redundant.
"Then it's decided, let's go to Ougan Island first!"
"Wu~"
Then Xiaozhi waved his big finger, and Chenglong veered in the direction of Ougan Island.
...
...
Ougan Island is a small island.
Go ashore.
According to the address on the note, Xiaozhi and the others have arrived at a place similar to a tourist pedestrian street, with a spacious avenue in the middle and various local specialty shops on both sides.
What was unexpected was that at least the shops on the 7th floor here were all related to glass. Along the way, several people had seen various glass jewelry shops, or glass sculptures of characters or Pokémon, all displayed crystal clear.
In the display window.
After a while, everyone found the Ah Gong glass jewelry shop.
It's just that this jewelry store is obviously much deserted than the surrounding ones, and the glass jewelry displayed in the window are also scattered, looking like it's about to close down.
Seeing someone approaching, a 5 or 6-year-old girl ran out and greeted a few people cheerfully. Xiaozhi took out the note.
"Ah, do you have any news about the Crystal Rock Snake? My name is Zhengmei, and I am the one who threw this bottle."
Zhengmei said happily, but Xiaozhi's next words made his face darken instantly.
"We don't know about the Crystal Rock Snake either. We just saw it and wanted to come over and ask..."
"Ah, you don't know either..."
She shook her head in disappointment, but she was still a customer after all. Zhengmei had to try her best to smile and planned to drag a few people into the store to talk in detail.
"Crack!"
At this time, the sound of breaking glass not far outside the store attracted everyone's attention. Several people looked up and saw a brown-haired man with his head lowered, surrounded by two other people scolding him.
"Ah Gong, what are you carving? If you sell them, it will really disgrace our Ougan Island!"
"If you don't have talent, don't carve. Why should you learn to carve things?"
As they spoke, the two of them smashed the glass jewelry in the brown-haired man's hands to the ground, and walked away with sneers.
