Pokémon Modifier

So what happened to the chrysanthemum leaf just now?

Could it be because it has a timid character?

However, if this conjecture is true, it is really a good effect!

Increased affinity towards wild Pokémon, which is equivalent to a good buff for Populus euphratica who likes to secretly observe Pokémon in the wild.

In order to verify whether this buff was effective for all Pokémon, Hu Yang spent an entire afternoon trying it out in the forest while looking for suitable wild Pokémon to fight against the newly evolved Charizard.

When night fell and darkness enveloped the entire Silver Mountain, Hu Yang finally figured out the specific effect of the buff.

Overall, it was just as he imagined.

When walking on the road, you will not be attacked by some aggressive wild Pokémon, and some weak Pokémon will approach you in a friendly manner.

However, this effect does not seem to be absolute.

Because when Populus euphratica passed through the territory of a giant needle bee, even with the blessing of that buff, he was still pursued by a group of giant needle bees.

Through the identification of the modifier, Populus euphratica saw the reason why the giant needle bees attacked him - because his sudden intrusion stimulated the giant needle bees and regarded him as an intruder in their territory.

After a moment of trembling, Populus euphratica led the fire-breathing dragon to behind a big tree.

One person and one dragon looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing when they thought about how they had just escaped in embarrassment.

Smiling, Charizard opened his mouth wide and let out a huge yawn.

At this time, it was already evening. Hu Yang took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time on it, and found that it was already half past six without realizing it.

Charizard fought with wild Pokémon all afternoon. Although the injuries on his body healed quickly under the influence of the sacred fire, its energy was still inevitably exhausted.

"Then rest here today."

After thinking for a while, Hu Yang released all the Pokémon on his body, and everyone set up a tent and cooked together.

In the forest under the moonlight.

Ancient Moon Bird, Rose Redo, Charizard, Kirulian, Gengar, and Axetooth were resting around the fire.

Hu Yang sat aside and watched this scene, and suddenly felt that his whole life was complete.

Not only because the fire dinosaur evolved into a fire-breathing dragon during this trip, but also because this scene was something he had fantasized about while watching Pokémon anime in his previous life.

This feeling... is so good.

Thinking of this, Populus euphratica relaxed his body, lay comfortably on the grass, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

At the same time, in other corners of the world.

Entei, Suicune, Raikou, and Machado also raised their heads at this moment and looked at the moon.

The evening wind blew over them, and the moon gently spread its light over the land. The whole world seemed to be covered with a thin silver veil.

…

The matter with King Feng will come to an end here. Next, Populus euphratica prepares to return to the Fengyuan area to continue his journey.

Early the next morning, Populus euphratica was preparing to leave the Baiyin Mountains with Charizard and take the ship back to Fengyuan.

Unfortunately, not long after they set off, it began to rain heavily.

Looking at the gloomy sky, Populus euphratica was speechless, and said to Charizard: "Let's go down to avoid the rain for a while."

"Ouch!"

The fire-breathing dragon responded, waving its wings and landing towards the forest below.

It is raining, and the wild Pokémon living in this mountain forest are also looking for places to take shelter from the rain.

Hu Yang originally wanted to take the tent, but Charizard turned his head as if he suddenly discovered something.

Populus euphratica turned around, followed its gaze, and saw an old-fashioned building similar to a shrine in the heavy rain.

And someone over there noticed them and shouted to them in a friendly manner: "Children over there, come over here and take shelter from the rain!"

Populus euphratica: "..."

Could it be some kind of man-eating monster in this deep mountain forest?

He couldn't help but think of the Liaozhai he had seen in his previous life.

However, before he could think about it, the people over there saw him standing still and walked over holding an umbrella.

The person who came was an old lady with a kind and kind face, wearing a Japanese kimono.

Before Populus euphratica and Charizard could react, they were "dragged" into the shrine by the old man.

"Are you a trainer who is traveling outside?" The old man put the umbrella aside and asked.

Hu Yang nodded: "Yes."

The old man put the umbrella aside, poured two cups of hot tea from the table, handed it over, and said: "Quick, drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up. It will be terrible if you get sick later."

Populus euphratica: "..."

joke! How could he, the brave hero of the rainbow, and a super young man, get sick just from being exposed to this little rain? !

However, the moment this idea came to him, he sneezed on the spot.

Populus euphratica: "..."

Charizard looked helpless: "Ouch..."

The old lady couldn't help laughing and said, "Look, are you sneezing?"

"After drinking this cup of hot tea, you can change out of your wet clothes and rest here for a while. It doesn't matter if you wait until the rain stops before setting off." The old man said with a smile.

Hu Yang felt a little uncomfortable, and to this old man, they were still strangers.

It was so weird to be so warm to a stranger.

"You must be thinking why I am so enthusiastic about you, right?" The old man looked at Yang Hu's strange expression and quickly guessed what he was thinking.

Hu Yang nodded.

The old man had a kind smile on his face, and instead of explaining immediately, he slowly told a story.

"There is a legend circulating in this temple. A long time ago, a very fierce battle took place here, and many Pokémon died as a result. Afterwards, the war became more intense, and all the land on this mountain was barren.

At that time, the legendary Pokémon Phoenix still lived in this land. Because of the war, nature was destroyed. The angry Phoenix burned human weapons with fire, and then used his own power to make the lake and the earth revived.

After that, the Phoenix King, who was disappointed with human beings, left here, and this land, as well as the Johto area, also lost the favor of the Phoenix King.

In order to reflect on their mistakes, people kept the flame left by the Phoenix King in this temple and passed it down from generation to generation.

Our ancestors told us that as long as humans can be friendly to everything in this world, then maybe one day the Phoenix King will feel our apology and be able to return to this land and the Johto area.

Since then, this temple has begun to help passing trainers and Pokémon living nearby. "

Hu Yang understood and said, "Do you help others because you want King Feng to return to this land?"

"Our ancestors had this idea at first." The old man shook his head, with a relieved smile on his face: "However, now maybe he just wants to help others! Maybe doing this will make the world a better place. It’s wonderful, after all, the Phoenix King hasn’t appeared for many years…”

Populus euphratica, who had just met Phoenix King yesterday: "..."

However, he noticed one thing.

"Is this place already within the Chengdu area?" Hu Yang asked.

If he remembered correctly, Silver Mountain seemed to be on the map of the Kanto region, right?

The old man understood what he meant and explained with a smile: "Silver Mountain connects the Johto area and the Kanto area. Although it is in the Kanto area, in the Pokémon Pokédex, Baiyin Mountain is registered as a place in the Johto area. Place."

"Our temple is located on Baiyin Mountain. When the Silver Conference is held every year, the trainers participating in the competition will come here to pass the sacred torch."

The Silver Tournament is a large-scale tournament that trainers in the Johto area participate in after collecting eight gym badges. It is the same as the Quartz Tournament in Kanto and the Aiyu Tournament in Hoenn.

Hu Yang remembered that in the anime, before the Silver Conference, there would indeed be an opening ceremony to pass the torch.

And the name of the place where the sacred fire is taken seems to be...Houwangyuan.

He remembered that it was Hoou-in, a place that appeared in the anime!

Compared to the Kanto area, the Joto area is more rural and is also the birthplace of many traditional cultures.

For example, in Yanmo City, which is located among the mountains, dragon culture has emerged there.

The Buddhist and Shinto culture surrounding Enzhu City and Kikyo City is very prosperous, so a variety of ancient buildings full of historical atmosphere are built there, such as shrines and bell towers.

There is even a culture of worshiping Slowpoke in Huipi Town. It is known as the "Hometown of Ninjas" and Kaji Town is famous for its ancient ninjutsu.

Even though he has never been to these places, Populus euphratica can still imagine what they look like.

At this moment, Hu Yang wished he could learn the shadow clone.

In this way, he can travel to different areas at the same time and witness different customs and cultures.

It's a pity that he hasn't reached half of the Fengyuan area yet...

Hu Yang took a deep breath.

Decided!

After his trip to the Hoenn region was over, he immediately came to the Johto region for vacation to see what the hometowns of Phoenix King and Entei were like.

"It seems like the patron saint of the water city, the place where Latias and Latios the Movie takes place is in the Johto area." Hu Yang thought silently.

Odomare is an island city based on the water city of Venice.

It just so happens that he can drop by and take a look when the time comes.

Populus euphratica and Charizard sat cross-legged on the tatami, staring at the heavy rain outside in a daze.

Before I knew it, the rain outside finally stopped.

The old man walked out, looked up at the sky and said, "It's sunny..."

Then it’s time to get going.

Populus euphratica led the fire-breathing dragon out of the temple and said goodbye to the friendly old woman: "Thank you."

Charizard: "Ooo!"

The old lady showed a kind smile: "Don't worry, if you can, please help those humans and Pokémon in need during your travels!"

Thinking of the group of people who helped him in Chenghua City and the stuffed chinchilla in Chenghua Forest, Populus euphratica smiled slightly and said softly: "I will do it."

After saying that, Populus euphratica climbed on the back of the fire-breathing dragon and flew towards the Kanto area while the sky was clear.

The old man stood on the ground with a smile on his face, watching the young man disappear into the sky.

At this time, a staff member from Hoohin suddenly ran over and said breathlessly: "Grandma Liangzi, something happened to the Holy Fire!"

The old man known as Granny Liangzi turned around, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Staff: "The holy fire... the holy fire is burning! Its flame suddenly becomes bigger than before!"

The two came to the room where the sacred fire was stored. At this time, several staff members had gathered in the room. They looked at the hot and beating flame in the container with excitement on their faces.

"Grandma Liangzi, does this mean that Lord Feng Wang has felt our feelings?!"

Liangzi stared blankly at the flames.

That was the holy fire left by King Phoenix a long time ago.

After so many years, it is still burning brightly and has no tendency to extinguish.

Over the years, this sacred fire has never changed.

And now...

Looking at this scene, Liangzi couldn't help but murmured: "Lord Phoenix..." Are you really coming back?

…

After leaving Baiyin Mountain, Populus euphratica did not stay in the local town, but rode the fire-breathing dragon all the way to the dock in Kuye City.

By the time they boarded the ship back to the Hoenn region, it was already March 17th.

As for the reason why it was so fast, it was because Populus euphratica received two text messages sent from Fengyuan area.

One from a sailor on the White Sea Lion.

The other one comes from Daiwu, whom I haven’t seen for a long time.

[Old sailor: Populus euphratica, we have found the island that emits cold air. If you have time, please be sure to come over! ]

[Dawu: Hello Hu Yang, I am Dawu. I recently found something in Green Ridge City that may be of interest to you. ]

Hu Yang sat in the cabin of the ship and looked at the two text messages on his phone.

The island that the sailors on the White Sea Lion mentioned in the text message should be the island where Regice is sealed.

Last year, when he returned to Weibai Town after finishing the glamor contest, Hu Yang asked them to help him find it, but he didn't expect the results to come out so quickly.

After all, without a specific location, trying to find the islands in the vast sea is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The long-standing plan to find the three sacred pillars has finally made new progress.

After thinking for a while, Hu Yang replied to a text message, agreeing to meet in Chenghua City, and then go out to the sea to see the island together, and try to see if the Ancient Moon Bird could forcefully break through the seal and conquer Regice.

If this method was feasible, then he would not have to worry about finding the location of the announcement stone room.

As for the other text message from Daiwu...

The content mentioned above should also be about ancient ruins.

The last time we met, Hu Yang also made a commission with Dawu.

He found the stone, and Dawu would help him find the relics during his travels, and then notify him.

Hu Yang didn't know what specific ruins Dawu was talking about. He thought about it and replied to Dawu:

[Understood, the goods you want are ready. ]

Anyway, he has a lot of stones at home, and they are all gifts given to him by Pippi. When the time comes, he can just bring a few good-looking ones and throw them to Dawu.

Green Ridge City.

Daigo looked at that sentence on the screen and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The goods you want are ready...

Are they doing some weird underground business?
