Hoenn area, in the desert of Route 111.

The great desert is vast and misty, undulating continuously, and people suddenly seem so small in the middle of it, under the scorching sun, the desert rises with waves of heat, making people feel difficult to breathe.

Ji Yuan was wearing a black cloak and a one-piece hood of the same color as the cape, which made people unable to see his true face, and walked forward step by step in this hot desert.

He was followed by a creature flying at a low altitude, looking like a dragon and not a dragon, looking quite vicious, its whole body was blue, it had a pair of blood-red wings, it was at least two meters tall, it had a hideous scar on its chest, and it wore a very good-looking round pearl on its neck, the surface was crystal white, but the inside was a few pale red and blue long marks intersected together.

This dragon-like creature is none other than Kigen's original Pokémon, a storm salamander in his hometown known for its powerful and amazing destructive power.

Often referred to as the Tyrannosaurus or Bloodwing Wyvern, the Tyrannosaurus is Kigen's original Pokémon that was not fully hatched when it was still an egg.

It was bought by Ji Yuan's father from a well-known large-scale poaching organization in the Hoenn region at a huge cost of manpower and financial resources.

And gave this Pokémon egg to Xiao Jiyuan, who had just passed his fifth birthday, and gave it to him as a birthday gift.

As for why his father gave Ji Yuan Pokémon Eggs, the main reason was that when he was young, he showed a love for Pokémon.

I like to read some of the pictures or books that record Pokémon and the like, and even slowly even the ancient books that record the strange things in this world have become very fond of reading, and even he can read the content recorded in them.

Because his own child showed this amazing talent, Ji Yuan's father chose to give him a Pokémon egg that he bought from the poachers organization when he had just passed his fifth birthday and had not yet reached the age of ten.

At the beginning, no one, including Ji Yuan's father, knew what kind of Pokémon this egg would hatch, only that the egg's parents were powerful Pokémon, so it showed that the elves in this egg would definitely give birth to Pokémon with outstanding talents.

This large-scale poaching organization in the Hoenn region also suffered heavy losses to get this Pokémon egg, and it was only at a high price on the black market that it was finally bought by Ji Yuan's father, who was the highest bidder.

However, Ji Yuan at that time was also very excited to receive this birthday gift, and he didn't care what Pokémon was in the egg at all, but he was excited and looking forward to it being born soon.

Over the next few months, the elves inside the egg were finally born and hatched into the baby dragon, the original form of the salamander.

And in the next eleven years, I will accompany Ji Yuan to get along day and night, and slowly grow and become stronger together.

Especially in the last three years, he accompanied him on expeditions around the world, and was born and died several times, and he was also scarred, so that the feelings and bonds between the two reached a level that ordinary people could not understand.

............

Ji Yuan, who had been walking in the hot desert, suddenly stopped, his brow furrowed, and looked at the position not far in front of him.

Because there was also a group of people there, and there were eight members of this group, and the leader was an old man with short gray hair who was about fifty years old and wearing the standard white coat of Pokémon researchers.

Behind him were three young men and women who were also wearing white coats, and a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties, with a beautiful face, wearing a black glasses, a convex and backward figure, a very hot figure, but holding a microphone in her hand, looking like a TV reporter.

Behind the beautiful reporter, followed by a young man who looked to be about thirty years old, slightly chubby, carrying a camera on his shoulder, constantly filming the people around him.

Around this group of people, there were two young men who looked to be in their twenties, with a few Poke Balls hanging from their waists, and looked like trainers, vigilantly looking around to protect the safety of these people.

The desert in Route 111 is the largest desert in the Hoenn region, and it is usually very uninhabited, except for a few small villages that have been living in this large desert, and you can't see even half a human figure in normal times.

Unless you're lucky enough to meet a trainer who came here to catch Pokémon, even if you're killed, no one will come to find and save you.

Who are these people?

Ji Yuan frowned a little puzzled at the suddenly discovered crowd in front of him, because he had a hunch in his heart, these people probably had the same purpose as him, and they were also here to find the Phantom Tower hidden in this desert and leaving many mysterious deeds in the local area.

However, judging from his exploration experience in the past three years, as well as the information he actually had, he didn't think that this group of people had the ability to survive after entering the Phantom Tower, even if there were two trainers who seemed to have a little strength to protect them, it was far from enough.

After all, Ji Yuan didn't know these people, it was none of his business, and he had no obligation to remind and protect these people. So he didn't pay too much attention, but continued to speed up and walked towards the location of the Tower of Phantoms.

............

The other side.

The beautiful reporter was already a little unbearable from the desert climate, took out a pink handkerchief from the backpack behind her, kept wiping the sweat on her forehead, and said to the leading old man impatiently: "Dr. Richard! We have been in this desert for three days, and a day before our car was unable to drive because it was deep in the desert, so we stayed there, when will we be able to reach the Tower of Phantoms and reveal this mysterious place to the public in the Hoenn region. ”

Beauty has privileges after all! Especially this girl who is straightforward and fast-talking, and has a hearty personality.

So Dr. Richard, who didn't care about her impatience, laughed heartily: "Hahaha~!" Mayumi, you girls just can't endure hardship, I'm as young as you, when I was an assistant to others, but with my doctor back then, in the primeval forest with the harshest environment, it was more than a month...... You've only been around for a few days now, and you can't stand it anymore. ”

"Haha!"

Hearing Dr. Richard's humorous words, the people who were walking in the harsh environment of the desert and were in a somewhat irritable mood couldn't help but laugh along.

This beautiful reporter named Mayumi pouted a little embarrassed and annoyed when she saw the laughing crowd, and with her beautiful and charming face, she looked quite cute.

Then.

A young man in a white coat who was still laughing suddenly turned his head sideways and saw the more eye-catching salamander flying in the low altitude, as well as Ji Yuan beside him, he immediately stopped laughing, and said to Dr. Richard: "Doctor, you look at our rear, there seems to be a person, and he is followed by a Pokémon, it seems that it should be a Pokémon trainer." ”

When Dr. Richard heard this, he immediately turned his head and saw Ji Yuan, who was wearing a black cloak and a one-piece hood covering his entire head, and then nodded and said, "Look at this person's appearance, he is indeed a trainer, he should have come to this great desert to subdue Pokémon?" We went up and said hello to him. ”
