The city of shallots and the city of Azure are both seaside cities, and they are not too far away, so that many boats travel between the two cities every day.

Xia You and Lijia easily found a medium-sized passenger liner bound for Zhanlan City at the dock.

However, the ferry does not go directly, but has to pass through Vortex Island and make a short stop there before continuing on to Zhanlan City.

According to the route, this will undoubtedly waste a lot of time, but it is the best option for now.

The two bought tickets and boarded the ship, and found a seat on the deck and sat down.

The salty sea breeze blew on the two of them, and it didn't take long for the passenger ship to slowly leave the harbor as there was a jolt from the hull.

Xia You took out the Poké Ball and released Yin Bu from Xiaomei in Yuanzhu City.

Yin Bu was obviously taking a boat for the first time, he was excited, he felt very fresh everywhere, he ran to the railing from time to time to look at the sea, and from time to time he jumped all over the deck, lively and not good, but maybe it was a little seasick, and after not running for a while, it curled up and shrank at Xia You's feet, refusing to move more.

This guy is obviously seasick!

Shaking his head rather amusedly, Xia You no longer looked at it, but looked at the sea.

Sailing in the sea is really pleasant, used to the fast pace of rushing, occasionally relax is really good, it is refreshing, and I feel that time has slowed down.

He went to the bar on deck and ordered two cocktails, and enjoyed the trip with Lijia over a drink and conversation.

The passenger ship broke through the sea, forming two regular waves, but the same scenery was seen too much, and the interest of the two quickly cooled down.

After driving in the sea for more than half an hour, Xia Youshu sat comfortably on the recliner, bored and almost asleep, when an old man suddenly sat beside them.

At first, he just sat there quietly, but as the voyage became boring, he seemed too lonely, so he started talking to Xia You.

The old man is very good at talking, has unique opinions on many things, and as a native of Vortex Island, he knows a little about every place and everything here.

For example, he told Xia You and the others that there was a group of large waves living on the Vortex Island, and they were more than three times the size of ordinary people, which was quite huge compared to their kind, but because of their size, they had lost their ability to fly.

Bobos that can't fly?

Is it because of degradation?

Hearing such a novel thing also surprised the two of them, so they took the initiative to chat with the old man with more interest.

Through the old man's narration, Xia You knew that in fact, Vortex Island does not only refer to an island, but should be called the Vortex Islands.

It is composed of four large islands such as Qingyan Island, Chiyan Island, Huangyan Island and Yinyan Island, and a group of small islands composed of a number of archipelagos, these islands together form a spiral shape, and there are strong whirlpools near the whirlpool island, the danger of the sea area, so that it is difficult for people to get close to here before, until the emergence of ships in modern times, only to get rid of the constraints of the current, so that the whirlpool island flourished.

It is said that Uzumaki Island was actually a huge island in ancient times, but it was only due to changes in the earth's crust that it split into four large islands.

As a result, a series of labyrinthine and gloomy caverns are connected to each other, making it difficult to descend from any island on the surface of the sea, and it is rumored that you can even encounter Lokia at the bottom of the complex caves!

Hearing the old man mention Lokia, Xia You couldn't help but think of the sea god he met in the Orange Islands.

However, it is clear that the Lokia in the Johto area is not the same as the one there, and if memory serves, the Lokia here is supposed to be a mother with a child, there are two of them.

At this time, looking at Yin Bu at Xia You's feet, the old man smiled and said, "You are also going to challenge the water attribute Pokémon competition, right?" ”

"Water-type Pokémon Contest?"

Xia You and Lijia glanced at each other, and then shook their heads at the old man blankly, they didn't expect to stay on Vortex Island before, so they were not prepared for the homework there.

"It's the first time I've heard of this event, what kind of competition is it?"

"Then what a time you came!" The old man gushed, "It's held in Kuga City on Qingyan Island, and it's a triennial tournament for water-type Pokémon trainers, and the winner will not only have a huge prize money, but also become famous in one fell swoop!" As trainers, you can't miss an event like this! ”

Xia You didn't care if he became famous or not, but the generous bonus in the old man's mouth......

Xia You still feels that his family background is too small, and if he has the opportunity to make money, the attraction of this event to himself will undoubtedly be greatly increased!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Lijia.

And Lijia also saw in his eyes that she was eager to try.

"Then let's participate." She chuckled, "In such a competition, you will definitely meet many powerful players, and you can also get a good workout for Pokémon!" ”

Xia You nodded and asked, "Do you want to participate?" ”

"I'm a grass trainer!" Lijia shook her head slightly, "There are no water-type Pokémon on your body to participate in this kind of competition!" ”

At 3 p.m., the ferry passed by the port terminal of Kuga City, the most prosperous city in the Whirlpool Islands and the capital of the city.

Originally, according to the previous plan, the two would continue to take a boat to Zhanlan City, but now Xia You has listed the Water Attribute Pokémon Trainer Contest as his goal, so he directly disembarked here.

And when I left the dock and entered the city, I found that the city was really lively at this time!

Because of the event, a large number of trainers and spectators from afar appeared in the city, but it was lively, but it also caused a lot of trouble to the two.

Xia You first went to the Pokémon Center here, signed up for the preliminaries of the competition, and just wanted to live here, but was told by Miss Qiao Yin that all the rooms were already full of trainers.

There was no way, the two could only leave the Pokémon Center and go to several nearby hotels and inns, but they were all full.

It can be expected that because of the influx of people, the whole city is like this,

In the end, Xia You simply booked a high-spec suite in a hotel closest to the venue!

Maybe it's because the house price is too expensive, and there is still one room in such a room, but since then, it is inevitable that the two will have to be alone in the same room tonight!

A different atmosphere was created between the two.

Since the two of them traveled, they have never even lived in a tent in the wild, if there is such an experience, it is good to say, now go straight to this step, there is always a feeling of a couple opening a room!
