Pokémon Modifier

September 29, 213 of the Alliance Calendar, Binhai City Port.

A storm swept through, and all ships heading to Suzuran Island were delayed.

Many trainers who were preparing to attend the Suzuran Tournament were stopped in the waiting room, hoping that the heavy rain would stop soon.

In the corner of the waiting room, a young man wearing a peaked cap and low-key clothing was sitting on a seat with a relaxed expression. The expression on his face was in sharp contrast to the other anxious trainees around him.

Next to the boy, there was a large travel backpack, and a Pogaman was putting its head inside, rummaging for something.

Seeing this scene, Hu Yang put down his cell phone, took Bogaman out, then found the candy Bogaman accidentally dropped in from his backpack and handed it to him.

After getting the candy, Bogaman immediately became happy. He sat on the backpack, stuffed the candy into his mouth, and shouted coquettishly at Populus euphratica: "Bogaman~"

Hu Yang smiled and rubbed Bogaman's head, then picked it up and placed it on his lap.

Today is two days before the official opening of the Suzuran Conference, and three months have passed since he left Shenhe Town.

In the past three months, Hu Yang has been driving around the Sinnoh region in that old-fashioned RV, seeing various rural towns and wild Pokémon, and also buying many local specialties.

Those were gifts for the Pokémon in the zoo, as he had promised them before.

The trip to the Sinnoh region has come to an end. After the Lily of the Valley Conference is over, Populus euphratica will prepare to return to the Hoenn region to rest for a while, and then prepare in advance for the arrival of the New Year.

The diamond orbs and white jade orbs that Dr. Jie Zilan gave him have been given to Dialga and Palkia.

Populus euphratica originally wanted to sell the old RV to the second-hand market, but when making the decision, he and Geng Gui were very reluctant to part with it.

After all, everyone is happy when traveling in an RV.

So, after a short period of thinking, Populus euphratica found a shipping company and asked them to help ship the RV back to the Fengyuan area.

The RV is getting very old, and it’s time to retire.

Populus euphratica plans to put it in the forest on the ecological island and remove the car door so that the wild Pokémon on the island can play, hide from the rain and rest inside.

In this case, when he retires, he can go there for a picnic with Gengar and the others.

Of course, during these three months, Pogaman's training did not stop.

Later, Populus euphratica did not always give it to Gengar and the others.

When Bogaman is undergoing special training, he will also stand aside and watch, giving some advice from the perspective of a trainer.

Although Bogaman has not evolved, its strength is also growing steadily.

Compared with the time when he was at Zhensha Research Institute, the aura of Bogaman now seems to have changed a lot.

Many trainers will attend the Lily of the Valley Conference, and Hu Yang is preparing to test the results of Bogaman's special training during this period.

The storm outside hasn't stopped yet.

Some trainers couldn't help but stand up, release their Pokémon, and prepare to ride with them through the storm to Suzuran Island.

Hu Yang looked around and saw no acquaintance here.

At this time, he suddenly received a text message from Sirona.

[Sirona: Where are you? ]

[ Populus euphratica: In Binhai City, we were preparing to take a boat to Suzulanda Island, but now it rained heavily and the flight was delayed. ]

[Sirona: Do you need me to send someone to pick you up? ]

[Hu Yang: ...No need. ]

He didn't have to take a boat. With the fire-breathing dragon around, no matter how big the storm was, it was nothing.

Hmm... Then why is he still here waiting for the rain to stop?

Hu Yang fell into thought.

So a moment later, he put on his backpack and came outside, released the fire-breathing dragon, and used the power of the waveguide to create a shield to block the rain.

Charizard took a curious look at this protective shield: "Ouch?"

Populus euphratica climbed up and said, "This way you won't get caught in the rain."

Charizard tried flying and found that he would not be caught by the rain as expected.

After Populus euphratica pointed out the clear direction, the fire-breathing dragon waved its dragon wings and rushed into the storm.

We arrived at Suzuran Island in ten minutes.

It's also raining here, but the intensity is much lighter than that in Binhai City.

After hearing the news that Populus euphratica had arrived, Sirona rushed over with an umbrella and took the person to an office behind the Lily of the Valley Conference venue.

There was a person standing in the office, and Sirona helped introduce him: "This is President Damalanchi of the Pokémon League."

Seeing this short old man with a white beard, Hu Yang smiled and said, "Long time no see, President Damalanchi."

At the previous Caiyou Conference held in the Fengyuan area, it was this old man who awarded him the championship trophy.

Obviously, President Damalanqi also recognized him: "Hu Yang, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

The three of them sat down and began to discuss the next torch relay.

Speaking of this matter, President Damalanchi was a little embarrassed: "The sacred fire used in the Lily of the Valley Conference has always been from the legendary bird Pokémon Flame Bird. If you pay attention to protection, this kind of flame can burn for a long time. .”

"However, not long ago, the flame inexplicably became weaker than before. With the holy fire in this state, I am worried that it will affect the transmission of the holy fire..."

Hearing this, Hu Yang's first thought was to ask the Flame Bird to help, but he only had the Freezing Bird and the Lightning Bird, and had not yet encountered the Flame Bird.

Sirona on the side fell into deep thought. After a moment, she asked: "Can you take us to see it?"

President Damalanqi nodded: "Of course."

Under his leadership, Hu Yang and Sirona came to the site where the holy fire was stored. As expected, they found that the flame was very weak, and they shrank in the torch with apathetic breath.

"This is the flame we got from a flame bird ten years ago. According to legend, it has the property of never going out and is the second most suitable flame to be used as a holy fire." Damalanchi introduced.

Sirona was a little surprised: "Then who is the first?"

Damalanchi: "It's Ho-Oh. It's a legendary Pokémon in the Johto area. In my impression, it has never appeared in the Sinnoh region. Compared to Ho-Oh, Flame Bird is easier to encounter."

Hu Yang looked at the flame thoughtfully. According to the characteristics of Pokémon such as Phoenix King and Flame Bird, their flames will always burn and will not go out even if they are separated from the body.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the Flame Bird's flame actually had consciousness.

In the anime, the Rocket trio tried to steal the Holy Fire many times, and later even built a grasshopper robot to steal the Holy Fire.

When Team Rocket aimed the flame of the Holy Fire at Xiaozhi, the Holy Fire did not cause harm to Xiaozhi. Instead, it consciously returned to attack the Team Rocket trio, and then autonomously returned to the giant altar containing the Holy Fire.

And if this flame becomes weak, it means that the Pokémon's body is now very weak.

At this time, Sirona on the side noticed Hu Yang's expression, and she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Hu Yang expressed his thoughts.

After listening, President Damalanqi frowned and murmured: "Then this is an incredible thing!"

Flamebird, the legendary bird Pokémon that controls fire.

According to legend, it will illuminate the mountain path with its beautiful burning wings and rescue people in distress here.

It is said that the Snow Country where Flame Bird has appeared can enter spring first, and it is said to be a legendary bird Pokémon that flew from the southern country with Haruhi.

President Damalanqi slowly recounted the history of that year based on his memories:

"Ten years ago, I was only in my fifties. At that time, people encountered a flame bird on a volcano in the Sinnoh region."

"The flaming bird helped the people trapped on the mountain road like the legend. Humans established friendship with it. It happened to be the time when the Lily of the Valley Conference was held. The flaming bird gave the flames on its body to humans. After that, Then he left the volcano and disappeared without a trace.”

"Based on the month at that time, we guessed that it might have left the increasingly cold Sinnoh region and flew south to spend the winter."

Sirona pondered slightly: "In other words, that volcano is most likely the habitat of the flame bird in the Sinnoh region."

President Damalanqi: "It is very likely that when we first encountered it, it flew out of the volcano."

Sirona nodded and said to Damalanchi: "If we go to that volcano again, we might be able to find out why the holy fire is about to go out."

Damalanqi was slightly startled: "Do you think that the injured flame bird is currently in that volcano?"

Sirona nodded: "In nature, some Pokémon will instinctively return to their nests after being injured. They think that is the safest place. And according to what President Qian just described, the flame bird is very likely to Use that volcano as a lair."

As she said that, she looked at the increasingly fainter Holy Fire and continued: "The Holy Fire reacted so strongly, indicating that the flame bird is not far away, and it is very likely to be in the Sinnoh region."

Damalanqi understood. He frowned and looked at Sirona seriously: "In that case, I'll leave this to you. I will send you the location of the volcano."

Sirona nodded, then turned to look at Hu Yang.

Hu Yang: "..." Well, it doesn't hurt to go there and have a look.

So, without waiting for the rain to stop, President Damalanqi arranged for a helicopter to fly Populus euphratica and Sirona into the storm.

Compared with when Populus euphratica arrived at Suzuland Island just now, the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

It is very unsafe to fly in this kind of weather. The pilot's face was full of solemnity and concentration, as if he was afraid that if he was not careful, the plane would be destroyed and everyone would be killed.

It doesn't matter if he's dead, he's pulling two big shots!

Looking at the frightened pilot, Hu Yang closed his eyes and released the power of the waveguide from his body, creating a protective cover that wrapped around the helicopter, blocking out the storm perfectly like an AT stance.

Seeing this scene, Sirona was slightly surprised.

She observed the situation outside and guessed: "The power of waveguide?"

While investigating Sinnoh's history, she encountered a human who was able to use waveguides.

That man's name is Yaxuan, and he lives on Steel Island.

"Yeah." Hu Yang nodded.

After receiving a positive answer, Sirona didn't ask any more questions, but just looked out the window curiously.

The driver in front gave Hu Yang a grateful look.

The volcano is located in the mountains to the north of Mumu City, a certain distance from Suzuran Island.

When the helicopter arrived at its destination and landed on the mountain path below the volcano, two hours had passed.

It didn't rain here, it was sunny.

Walking on the mountain road, Populus euphratica looked up at the tall volcano ahead.

Perhaps it has been quiet for too long, and a layer of green vegetation has grown on the volcano.

Ten years ago, it was in this place that the Flame Bird saved the humans trapped here.

Populus euphratica and Sirona went up the mountain road and soon arrived at the crater. The two stood on it and looked inside.

"There is no magma, this is an extinct volcano." Sirona said while thinking.

But this does not mean that there is no magma in this volcano. All that magma is now dormant underground, and when the time is right, it will burst out and destroy everything around it.

The height was too high to see clearly from above, so Populus euphratica released the power of waveguides to explore the inside of the volcano.

As the power of the waveguide comes out appropriately, all the terrain and things in all directions are completely presented in Hu Yang's mind.

Soon, he found a weak figure among the rocks inside the volcano.

It was a large bird Pokémon with red feathers. It had a straight and pointed beak, a long streamlined crown and tail with billowing flames, and a pair of wings also covered in flames.

However, the flames that should have been burning blazingly were now very languid, and together with their owners, they curled up into a ball and shivered.

"Found it." Hu Yang put away the power of the waveguide and opened his eyes.

While he was sensing everything around him, Sirona stood quietly and waited silently.

Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Sure enough."

Hu Yang was a little curious. He took out the Charizard's Poke Ball and asked, "How did you know that the Flame Bird was back here?"

Sirona also took out a Togekis and replied: "In addition to guessing, it's more intuition."

Hu Yang: "That's it."

He got on the fire-breathing dragon, and Sirona got on the Bok plane, and they jumped out of the crater and flew downwards.

The two Pokémon quickly landed on the ground.

Not far away, the weakly huddled Flame Bird sensed someone's arrival and immediately opened its eyes and looked over with its sharp eyes.

In an instant, a terrible heat wave swept out of it.

Sirona raised her arms to cover her eyes. Sensing the hostility of the Flame Bird, she quickly said: "Flame Bird, please stop, we don't mean any harm, we are here to help you!"

The fire-breathing dragon protected in front of Hu Yang, blocking the insignificant hot wind for him, and roared towards the flame bird.

Hu Yang patted Charizard on the shoulder.

The fire-breathing dragon understood clearly, and in the next second, a blazing flame spurted out from its mouth, drowning the flame bird in it.

Sirona was stunned for a moment.

Hu Yang looked forward and explained: "It's not an attack, it's a treatment."

The flames used by Charizard, which inherited the power of the Phoenix King, have two forms.

A kind of heat so intense that it can burn out all the evil in the world.

The other type contains vigorous vitality and can heal all injuries.

Hearing this, Sirona turned her head and looked at the flame bird.

The flame bird bathed in the golden flame seemed to have been reborn.

The two flames intertwined, and the flames on the flame bird were driven back to their previous state. They burned with a roar, and the eyes of the flame bird below also showed a comfortable expression, looking like they were satisfied.
