Pokémon Modifier

Early the next morning, the sun rose from the east of Snowflake City as usual. Today's weather was not very good and the sky looked foggy.

Hu Yang got up early and went downstairs after washing up. He stood downstairs in the hotel and looked at the situation outside.

Cross also came down from upstairs and said hello: "Morning! Are you leaving the city today?"

"Yes." Hu Yang nodded. His main purpose of coming to Snowflake City this time was to take Reshiram away from the Dragon Spiral Tower. Now that his purpose was achieved, he was ready to continue his journey.

"Okay, wait for me for a while!" Cross said and ran away.

Hu Yang stood there and waited.

After a while, Cross ran back in a hurry, carrying a large bag of ingredients in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Hu Yang was a little surprised: "The monetary system of this era has been in use for two thousand years?"

Cross was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, shook his head with a smile and explained: "Of course not. I sold some things before and used them to exchange for a lot of alliance coins."

All right. Hu Yang nodded and said no more.

In front of him, Cross once again demonstrated the high technology of the future.

He took out a small bag and put the large bag of ingredients directly into it.

Seeing Hu Yang looking at him, Cross explained: "This is a package made using space folding technology. The principle is very similar to the space backpacks of your era - OK, where are we going?"

Hu Yang opened the map, checked the location of Snowflake City, and replied: "Go to Shuanglong City."

The overall distribution of cities in the Hezhong region is in an oval shape, with the Pokémon League in the middle. Starting from Snowflake City, you can just go around the entire Hezhong area in one circle.

Cross naturally had no objection.

So, the two left Snowflake City together and embarked on a journey to Shuanglong City.

Not long after leaving Snowflake City, a tall and spectacular bridge appeared on the road ahead.

Cross looked up at the bridge with great interest and exclaimed: "Wow, this place is really spectacular!"

The tall metal bridge spans the water, the raised bridge towers into the clouds, and the cold steel is criss-crossed to form this spectacular bridge.

Below the bridge is a broad river, with a steady stream of vehicles passing over the bridge. In the foggy weather, the bridge is like a steel giant, standing quietly on the land.

Paths were left for passers-by on both sides of the bridge, and Populus euphratica and Cross walked on them.

Cross asked, "What's the name of this bridge?"

Before coming here, Hu Yang made some inquiries: "Cylinder Bridge, if you want to know more, I don't know, because I'm not a Hezhong person."

Cross's attention was immediately diverted: "Huh? Aren't you from Hezhong? Then which area are you from?"

"Hoenn."

"What a coincidence?! I am also Fengyuan's trainer!" Cross looked surprised.

"It's quite a coincidence." Hu Yang nodded.

Cross wanted to say something else, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a foam chinchilla holding on to the bridge, its body trembling, and about to fall off.

"Danger!"

Cross ran over quickly.

It's a pity that the foam chinchilla has no strength. As soon as his hands are released, the small body falls straight down.

Seeing this scene, Cross didn't hesitate at all. He climbed over the bridge and jumped off.

Seeing this scene, Hu Yang was stunned for a moment.

As soon as he ran over, he saw a sonic dragon slowly rising up.

Cross held the foam chinchilla and sat on the back of the sonic dragon, leading it back to the bridge.

"Little guy, be careful next time!" Cross smiled and put the foam chinchilla down.

The foam chinchilla, curious about the human bridge, blinked, nuzzled Cross gratefully, then turned around and ran away.

Hu Yang stood aside, with some emotion on his face. This guy's behavior just now reminded him of Xiaozhi. In the same words, he would ignore his own safety in order to save Pokémon.

At this time, Cross turned back and grinned at him.

Hu Yang couldn't help complaining: "You are already a champion, how can you still act like a dumb kid?"

Cross didn't care at all about this evaluation. He said with some embarrassment: "Instinct reaction."

When he said this, the sonic dragon on the side also showed a happy look in its eyes. It looked at its trainer and looked very close to him.

"You have a very good relationship with this sonic dragon!" Hu Yang discovered this scene.

Cross hummed, reached out and touched Sonic Dragon's head, and said, "Master taught me to treat Pokémon with care. As long as you treat them with care, they will respond to you with the same feelings."

Regarding this point, Hu Yang could not agree more: "Your master is a very good person."

Speaking of his master, Cross showed an extremely proud look on his face: "He is the best person in the world!"

Populus euphratica: "..."

Come again, come again.

He sighed, turned around and walked silently towards the other end of the bridge.

At noon, the two rested on an open grass field.

Here, Hu Yang saw the Pokémon lineup of the future Hoenn champion.

In addition to the Flame Chicken and Sonic Dragon that I saw before, there is also a Kuailosaurus, Picoxi, Slowshell Beast, and a Tanabata Blue Bird.

This lineup... is too luxurious, right?

Cross noticed his gaze and introduced with a smile: "Flame Rooster is my initial Pokémon. Kuailong, Pixi, and Slowpoke were given to me by my master. Tanabata Blue Bird and Sonic Dragon are mine." Met it while traveling.”

"Your master... his identity must be very unusual, right?" Hu Yang asked thoughtfully.

Cross shook his head: "I don't know, Master, he is a very mysterious guy. He lives alone with a group of Pokémon in an isolated place. I have never seen him leave there."

Hearing this, the image of a mysterious reclusive master instantly appeared in Hu Yang's mind.

At this moment, Cross took out a complete set of high-tech kitchen utensils and ingredients previously purchased in Snowflake City from his space package.

"Let me prepare today's lunch!" Cross said.

Hu Yang did not refuse. Seeing that the other party acted skillfully and seemed to be cooking a lot, he asked in surprise: "Can you cook?"

"Of course!" Cross said, "When I used to practice with my master, I prepared three meals a day."

Over time, cooking skills have been trained to become more and more perfect.

Hu Yang: "..." What kind of lazy master is that?

Seemingly aware of his inner thoughts, Cross shook his head and said seriously:

"It's not what you think. Due to physical reasons, Master doesn't usually need to eat. I forced him to start eating with me."

Hu Yang raised his eyebrows. After hearing this, he couldn't help but become curious about the master the boy was talking about.

He thought of the story the other party told Hall, and asked: "Later...where did your master go?"

Cross said dejectedly: "I don't know either. Master never told me that that day he cut off his messy hair and changed into new clothes. He happily told me that he was leaving here to see his old friends. , I haven’t seen him since then, and I deduce from the things he left behind that the master must have returned to the past.”

Hearing this, Hu Yang couldn't help but feel a little complicated: "So, you don't know whether he succeeded or not."

Cross nodded sadly.

In fact, when he took on this task this time, in addition to his responsibilities as a champion, he also had a small hope deep in his heart - maybe he could see his master again.

Hu Yang comforted him: "Don't worry, maybe he has succeeded."

Cross cheered up again and hummed.

Soon, lunch was ready.

An alluring fragrance wafts in the air.

Without tasting, judging only by taste, Hu Yang realized that Cross was not bragging when he said he was good at cooking.

"Okay, let's release all your Pokémon!" Cross said.

Hu Yang nodded, took out the elf ball, and released Reshiram, Gengar, Gardevoir, Rose Leiduo, Double Ax War Dragon, Fire Breathing Dragon and Ancient Moon Bird.

Cross was originally very curious about the Pokémon in front of him who had awakened the legendary dragon Reshiram.

But when he saw the orange Ancient Moon Bird, he froze on the spot, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

That's... the shining ancient moon bird?

Cross is very familiar with this Pokémon!

Because during the ten years he and his master were practicing, he often saw this bird Pokémon accompanying his master!

Is this... a coincidence?

Or another shining ancient moon bird? !

Cross turned his head and looked at Gengar and Gardevoir aside.

He only felt very strange to these Pokémon.

But that ancient moon bird...

Cross looked in disbelief at the boy in front of him who was feeding the Pokémon with a gentle expression.

At this moment, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

Could it be... could it be that the person in front of me is the past master?

No! impossible!

Cross quickly denied himself.

His master was obviously a tall man, nearly three meters tall, with a vicissitudes of life on his face, always silent, no smile on his face, and full of loneliness.

And the trainer named Hu Yang in front of him...

He is full of energy, optimistic and cheerful, and very gentle.

It is absolutely impossible for these two completely different qualities to appear in the same person, right?

At this moment, Cross regretted that he had not asked the master's name.

If this is the past master, you probably don’t know him yet, right?

Cross felt that his mind was a little confused.

But...how does a human live for so long?

Reason told him that the person in front of him was not.

But there was a voice inside that said: What if he is?

At this moment, Cross suddenly thought that the boy in front of him was also a trainer from the Hoenn region.

He immediately became nervous and accidentally knocked over a pot on the side.

Populus euphratica, who was feeding the Ancient Moon Bird, was startled by the movement. He turned around and found that the boy was looking at him with a strange expression.

Hu Yang: "?"

He was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Cross also realized that he had gone too far. He calmed down a little and asked casually: "By the way, you said before that you lived in the Hoenn region. Which city was it in?"

So you want to know this?

Hu Yang smiled and replied: "I live in Weibai Town. Was there still Weibai Town in your time?"

Right! It was near Weibai Town that he met his master!

"Yes." Cross nodded and said, "Weibai Town had already changed its name to Weibai City at that time. It is a very advanced metropolis."

Cross paused and continued: "At that time, there was a mysterious island in the sea near Weibai Town. It was said that legendary Pokémon lived on it. Many people went there in admiration, but no one found it. A mysterious island.”

But he had better luck and successfully crossed the sea and found the island.

A tall man lived there with a group of Pokémon, including the legendary Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre, who had lived there with the man for who knows how many years.

Cross impressed the other person with his perseverance and asked him to accept him as his disciple. He followed that person to practice on the island for ten years.

Ten years later, the master left the island and left it to him.

That day, the legendary Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre left their habitats, looked toward the unknown horizon, and then left that place together.

All living things have feelings, even legendary Pokémon are no exception.

Cross thought, Groudon and Kyogre must care about him very much after living with their master for so long, right?

When he said this, Cross had been observing the other person's expression.

After hearing these words, Hu Yang felt a little complicated. If he guessed correctly, that island should be an ecological island.

"Have you heard of that island too?" Cross asked.

Hu Yang organized the words in his mind and said: "Actually... that island is my home."

Upon hearing this, Cross couldn't help clenching his fists.

Really a master!

His eyes couldn't help but feel moist. At this moment, Cross wanted to recognize each other on the spot.

But soon, he calmed down.

"Master is quite good as he is now. He doesn't seem to remember me anymore."

Cross thought that his master had visited Mewtwo before leaving.

According to Cross's understanding of the other party, he probably asked Chaomeng to erase his memory, and when he cut his hair and changed into new clothes, he probably wanted to be in his best condition to meet his old friends.

"That lonely memory must be very bad for the master, right?" Cross couldn't help but think.

"Since it is the master's choice to go back to the past, I should respect him and not disturb his current life."

At least, the current master seems to be living a happy life.

This happiness cannot be broken.

Thinking of this, Cross felt a little moved in his heart. He sniffed and looked away, pretending to be nonchalant.

Unfortunately, Hu Yang's perception has always been very sharp. He noticed the other party's strangeness and asked doubtfully: "Why are you crying?"

Cross rubbed his eyes and said in a low voice, "My eyes are filled with dust."

Populus euphratica: "..."

Strange guy.

Cross said no more, picked up the rice, buried his face in the bowl, and plucked the rice into his mouth.

Hu Yang finished his meal first.

He had nothing to do, so he took Gardevoir and Charizard aside to practice super evolution at the same time.

When Cross finished his meal and came over to watch, Hu Yang asked: "Has super evolution become popular in your time?"

After recognizing that the other person was his master, Cross's attitude underwent some subtle changes.

From his stance to his tone, he was full of respect for the other party. Therefore, after hearing Hu Yang's question, Cross immediately tensed up and answered seriously:

"Yes, it has become popular. Two thousand years ago, a doctor named Daizhi discovered super evolution and brought it to the eyes of the world. After two thousand years of development, super evolution has been fully integrated into daily battles. among."

With that said, Cross looked at the Super Charizard and Super Gardevoir and asked: "Master...are you the only two Pokémon that can carry out Mega Evolution?"

"No." Hu Yang shook his head: "I still have a few at home. As you know, the Super Stones corresponding to Pokémon are very rare, so in addition to traveling, I am also collecting Super Stones from Pokémon around me. "

Speaking of the super stone, Cross suddenly remembered the super stone that he had previously auctioned in a certain market and was going to give it to a friend as a gift.

Thinking of this, he quickly touched his pocket, and then took out a round stone that shone with a faint purple light from the space package.

Cross: "I'll give this to you! You can use it for Gengar!"

Hu Yang turned to look at his hand, and the next second, the information about the stone appeared in his mind.

[Gengar Evolution Stone: A stone that contains magical power, a magical stone that allows Gengar to carry it and undergo super evolution. ]

Cross forced the stone to Populus euphratica.

After finishing, he started to rummage around in the space package again: "Do you still lack anything? Do you need an evolution bracelet? Do you need props for Pokémon? Oh, by the way, I still have a lot of evolution stones here. See if you can use it!"

With that said, Cross began to pour out the contents of the package. Fire stones, ice stones, electric balls, and some new things that Populus euphratica had never seen piled up a hill on the grass.

Hu Yang: "?"
