In the room, a young man was packing his luggage and backpack.
This boy is Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, he is 11 years old this year.
Next to his shoulder, there was a yellow electric mouse with lively eyes and a fat body.
"Pikachu, we are going to the Johto area soon. This time we must win the alliance championship there!"
"Pickup!"
The two of them slapped each other, one big and one small, holding each other tightly, with high morale.
"Hey Xiaozhi, what are you doing! You're going to be late!"
Outside the room, there was an urging voice. It was the voice of Xiaozhi's mother, Hanako.
"I know, I know..."
Xiaozhi came to his senses and quickly stuffed everything into his backpack.
Regular travel outdoor gear...
Abin’s new dirty props...
"By the way, bring this Pokémon egg with you. Maybe it will hatch in the Johto area..."
Xiaozhi carefully placed the unhatched egg presented by the Royal Masked Man at the Quartz Conference in his backpack.
After everything was ready, he walked out of the room, still complaining:
"Mom, I am already a top five expert in the Quartz Conference and the winner of the Orange League. Don't treat me like a child anymore...!"
"You adults won't stay in bed~"
Hanako just smiled and put a hat on Xiaozhi and adjusted the collar. It was still the classic red and white hat.
In front of the dining table in the living room, a tough-looking dark-faced boy and an orange-haired girl were already sitting, eating breakfast leisurely.
"Bali~"
Next to it, there was a humanoid pink-white Pokémon swaying from side to side, as if sweeping the floor, although it had nothing in its hands.
"Morning, Xiaogang, Xiaoxia, we also want the Magic Wall Doll."
Xiaozhi greeted.
"It's getting late, it's almost nine o'clock."
"And Dr. Ohgi asked us to go to the research institute before leaving Zhenxin Town."
The two of them just rolled their eyes at Xiaozhi without any courtesy.
It's outrageous to sleep in when it's almost time to leave.
"I know, I know~"
Hearing this, Xiaozhi quickly sat around.
He kneaded the sandwich on the table into a ball, then stuffed it into his mouth, then grabbed the cup and raised his head to the sky, "Gurgling", drinking the milk as if it were beer.
Bold.
"Mom, let's go! This time I will definitely get the Johto League's winning trophy!"
Then Xiaozhi grabbed his backpack and picked up Pikachu, pushing the two of them toward the gate.
The eight badges collected by Xiaozhi in the Kanto region, the commemorative trophy for the top eight results of the Quartz Conference, the four shell badges and the golden trophy from the Orange Islands are neatly displayed in the display window of the living room.
"Yeah, if it's Xiaozhi, he can definitely do it~"
Hanako rubbed Xiaozhi's head, with a hint of reluctance in her smiling eyes, and then looked at the two people behind her, nodding lightly.
"Our Xiaozhi will ask you two to take care of him~"
Xiaogang and Xiaoxia naturally agreed, patting their chests.
We just talked on the phone, and now Nibi Gym is booming under the control of his younger brother, and there is no need for Xiaogang to go back and take care of it for the time being.
The same is true for the Hualan Gym. It is still the weakest gym in Kanto. Although it has not improved, it has not retreated. There is no need for Xiaoxia to go back for the time being.
So they decided at the same time to go next door and play for a while.
...
...
Passed through half of True New Town.
In front of the gate of Omu Research Institute.
"Hey, I don't know why you suddenly called us here at this time. Don't you know that our time is precious?"
With everything equipped, Xiaozhi pushed open the iron gate gate with ease, still complaining.
It has been more than a week since they returned to Zhenxin Town from the Orange Islands, and the new season of the Johto League next door officially started yesterday, and now Xiaozhi has already started to feel itchy in his heart.
Time was running out, and they didn't even take a long break before hitting the road again.
"Yanhou~~"
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large rock snake whose whole body is made of crystal. It is crystal clear and is wrapping around the surface of the institute's house as a decoration.
Glistening under the sunlight, it gives the institute a luxurious look.
"Crystal Rock Snake, good morning!"
Xiaozhi said hello, and Big Rock Snake raised his head and said back.
Speaking of which, Xiaozhi wanted to take the Crystal Rock Snake with him to the Johto area before.
According to Brother Xiaogang, who understands the Big Rock Snake, Asakusa City in the Johto area may have a way to evolve the Big Rock Snake, and maybe he can also evolve his own Crystal Big Rock Snake.
But don't worry, you can just swap Pokémon with me when you get to Asakusa City.
"Speaking of Xiaozhi, have you decided what Pokémon you want to bring?"
Xiaoxia next to her couldn't help but ask.
Although it is a new season in other regions, this does not mean that the old seasons cannot be used. Pokémon from other regions and several of Xiaozhi's generals can also continue to compete.
"It's decided."
Xiaozhi nodded, he already had many veterans with him.
Although there may be many new Pokémon encountered in the new area, the veteran cannot be ignored, and he plans to catch them with both hands.
Soon, everyone entered the inner hall of the research institute, and Dr. Omu also put his hands behind his back, waiting for everyone early.
"It's finally here, Xiaozhi. You're as late as the day you picked up Pikachu."
But this face full of sincerity and fighting spirit has not changed, and it even seems to have matured a little?
Dr. Oki smiled and nodded.
As he spoke, he led several people into the inner door, came to a precision device, and pressed the button.
An elf ball composed of gold and silver also appeared in front of everyone.
GS ball, this is a precious prop that several people got when they went to the Orange Islands before.
"I have been studying the GS ball you brought for a week. I am ashamed to say that even I, the most authoritative researcher in the Kanto region, have not found anything."
Dr. Oki touched his chin.
Now except for the "GS ball is made of the feathers of Ho-oh and Lugia" which was solved by Xiaozhi and others from the beginning, Damu had no idea about the other two questions.
Who created the GS ball?
What's the purpose?
"So I'm going to ask you to take the GS ball to a friend of mine in the Johto area. He is a craftsman who hand-makes Poke Balls, and he has made some new breakthroughs."
Dr. Oak grabbed the GS ball in his hand and placed it in front of Xiaozhi.
Since the material is Ho-oh and Lugia, and these two gods have a long history in the Johto area, maybe this Poke Ball came from the Johto area, and the locals there may be more understanding.
.
"And my old friend is in a Pipi town. There is a Pipi gym there, and the route is the same as yours."
Damu had thought of everything, and Xiaozhi had no choice but to put the GS ball into his backpack again.
"Hey, don't say I'm treating you badly, this delivery task is paid."
This sentence made Xiaozhi's eyes brighten instantly. If you are paid, everything will be easy.
"How many Master Balls? Or how many mythical beasts? Even if it doesn't work out, it has to be a quasi-god-level Pokémon that can be expected in the future, right?"
Xiaozhi's series of words made Damu frown, and pushed the former's head away with his backhand.
"Ahem, young people should keep their feet on the ground. You have to fight for mythical beasts and other things by yourself..."
Seeing Xiaozhi's expression dim instantly, Damu continued to speak:
"But there is no Master Ball, but my old friend is good at making Poke Balls. When the time comes, I can ask him to help you create a few special Poke Balls for free..."
"As for quasi-gods... there are some."
Seeing Xiaozhi spread his palms with renewed energy, Dr. Ohmu just turned his head.
"But the thing is not in my hands for the time being... The reward is a Pokémon egg. It was an egg I got from a poacher when I was inspecting Silver Mountain a few years ago. It is now stored in Dr. Kongmu's house in Ruoye Town.
There."
Dr. Ohki remembered that the egg was green in color and that it was produced in Baiyin Mountain. He even waited for almost two years to hatch...
Combining the three phenomena, Damu had roughly guessed what kind of Pokémon this was.
"Just go to Ruoye Town and tell Dr. Kongmu. I have already said hello to him in advance. It is said that the egg will hatch soon."
Ruoye Town is also the first town from the Kanto region to the Johto region.
"Egg again...?"
Even so, Xiaozhi was not greedy. The more eggs the better, and he immediately happily accepted the task of delivering the GS ball.
...
Before parting.
Dr. Ohmu thought of something again and took out a red mechanical device from his pocket, about the size of two palms.
"Didn't you store the illustrated book with me before? I have helped you remodel it, and now it is a universal illustrated book for the Johto area."
Xiaozhi took the illustrated book and looked at it for a while, and found that the appearance of the illustrated book seemed to have become more advanced.
Without the keyboard buttons, the ultra-high screen-to-body ratio makes the entire screen larger.
The horizontal bar in the center of the screen is a bit eye-catching, like a picture book with bangs.
"Speaking of doctor, don't you have any other accessories, chargers or something?"
Xiaozhi looked up and down and found that the shape of the charging socket at the bottom of the illustrated book had also changed, so the charger that came with it before could no longer be used.
"Well, in order to support environmental protection, future illustrated books will not come with matching chargers. If necessary, you can go to the Elf Center in the Johto area to buy it yourself."
