Buzz——!

The melodious whistle echoed in the port of Weibaizhen, and when the cruise ship docked across the ocean, Xia You and Lijia followed the flow of people, got down the gangway, and came to this continent they had never set foot on.

Hoenn area, here we come!

This is the town of Weibai, which can be said to be the starting town of novice trainers in the Hoenn region, since the separation of Xiaozhi and a few others in the city capital a few days ago, Xia You and Lijia went to the nearest port and came here on this cruise ship.

As its name suggests, it is a country town surrounded by fresh nature that has not been dyed by any color.

Although it is a small country town, it also has a small port, and there are some high-rise buildings near the port, which can be said to be a model of urban-rural integration.

And at the other end of the town is Dr. Odamaki's home and research institute, just like Dr. Oki in Sekito and Dr. Kuki in Joto, Dr. Odamaki is the Hoenn region and has the authority to give novice trainers the responsibility of starting Pokémon!

As a proper 'newcomer' in the Hoenn area, it is only natural that he should also use this place as a place to start his new trip.

However, the two didn't take the liberty to bother Dr. Odamaki, after all, there was no reason, they had never met before, and no one introduced them, so it was really difficult to come to the door.

Let's wait until we have a chance to get to know each other later.

The first thing I did when I came to Hoenn was to log in to participate in the Hoenn Alliance here, and only in this way could I challenge the various gyms here, but by asking passers-by around, I learned that there was no Pokémon Center here, and if you wanted to log in, you had to go to the nearby town of Gumei.

"It's really troublesome......" Hearing the news, Xia You couldn't help but shake his head, "It's obviously the original town, and it's the place where many novice trainers set off, but the Pokémon Alliance doesn't set up a Pokémon center here, so I really don't know how to be flexible."

Lijia shook her head: "This should have their own considerations, after all, although the Pokémon Alliance is the largest organization in the world, they have limited funds, and it is impossible to do everything."

After taking the boat for several days, both of them were full of energy at this time, so they didn't stay too long in Weibai Town, and walked north, walking directly towards Gumei Town.

Climatically and geographically, the Hoenn region is located in the southwest of the Johto region, separated by a sea from the Johto, and although it is located on two different continents, the general customs and styles are not much different.

There is also a wide variety of natural environments, from tropical rainforests to deserts, and there are islands and islands around the mainland, and in general, the vegetation and climate here are much warmer than those of other cities and gates.

Xia Yu remembered that the prototype of the Hoenn region seemed to be the Japanese island of Kyushu, but it just turned Kyushu in one direction, and the place name also came from the Chinese character "豊縁", which means that the Hoenn region is a place with "rich fate", and I don't know if it's true.

Never left Baizhen, the two walked along the country road, stopping and stopping, while enjoying the scenery, they also saw a lot of Pokémon along the way, although most of them were encountered in Guandu and Chengdu, but there were also some Pokémon, like coyote dogs and serpentine bears, which they saw for the first time.

Of course, for Xia You, although these Pokémon have been known in games or anime for a long time, it is indeed the first time that he has really observed fresh life with his eyes, rather than cold electronic data, so it is also the first time he has seen it in the true sense.

Approaching Gumei Town, they also saw an ancient ruin from afar.

The ruins were located on a wasteland, and a dozen huge oval stones stood outside, half-buried in the earth, enclosing some of the ruins inside, as if guarding the place.

The two of them were curious, and they couldn't help but walk towards the ruins.

There is no protection outside the ruins at all, it seems that anyone can visit it, and the ruins of the buildings behind the stones, which are low houses made of stone, I don't know how long they have existed, and some places have long been weathered and covered with traces of time.

There were a few people dressed as scholars, who were busy there for a while, and when someone looked up, they saw them and took the initiative to come over.

"Hello." He was twenty-seven years old

, a man about eight years old, he was wearing overalls, his skin was slightly dark, and he had a small braid, which looked a little like Xiao Gang with wide-eyed eyes, and after he said hello, his eyes turned on Xia You and Lijia, and said with a smile, "Are you also here to visit the ancient rose ruins?"

"Ancient Rose Ruins?"

The man nodded: "That's right, this is the Ancient Rose Ruins, and even the nearby Ancient Rose Town is named after it, ah, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Metz, a researcher engaged in this field, and I'm currently studying this ruin."

"Hello, my name is Xia You, and I'm a trainer."

"I'm Lijia."

"Why don't you go inside the ruins?" Metz smiled, perhaps for fear of a misunderstanding between the two, and explained, "Although it is archaeological work, people know too little about this place and do not pay attention to it at all, so I am also committed to letting more people know about the ancient rose ruins."

"I see."

Xia You then understood why Metz took the initiative to greet them, and after glancing at Lijia, the two were not polite, followed him, and walked into the ruins together.

Under the introduction of Metz, the two also had a general understanding of this place, but Xia You found that this was obviously just a very ordinary ruin, but those researchers were still using instruments to detect something.

"Mr. Metz." He asked curiously, "Is there any secret here that hasn't been unearthed?"

Metz nodded, "In fact, in this ruin, there is also a door to the connection between the ancient Pokémon world and the modern Pokémon world."

"The gate?"

"That's right, it's a door." Metz explained, "The gate is located outside a stone room, and there is a strange structure on the door, which we can't open for the time being, and if we force our way in, it will trigger the structure mechanism and destroy the whole place, so we still don't know anything about the world behind the door."

Xia You wanted to speak again and again, but in the end he didn't say anything.

In his opinion, even if he doesn't break the gate, he can still enter the stone room, which is nothing more than using some ghost-based Pokémon to penetrate the wall.

Of course, humans can't get by, but at least they can see what is inside the stone chamber.

But then again, if that gate, like a portal, is full of magical powers, and will teleport people who enter the door to another place, that would be a different matter.

Lijia also asked, "And what is the connection you just mentioned?"

"That's the ancient Pokémon." "I guess behind the gate of the stone chamber there should be extinct Pokémon like the Fossil Pterodactyl and the Scythe Helmet, or some Pokémon that we haven't discovered yet."

Speaking of this, he looked at Xia You and said with a smile, "Actually, when I first saw you, I already guessed that you were Pokémon trainers, and before, I also invited several trainers to enter the stone chamber with me, so that they could help me crack the secret of the gate without destroying the structure."

Although Metz hadn't spoken yet, he didn't have to think about it to know that those trainers must have failed.

As they spoke, they had already reached the door of the stone chamber.

Compared to the rest of the ruins, this stone chamber is not known to be built of what kind of stone, it is extremely well preserved, and it is very strong, even after thousands of years, the structure is still standing, and it seems that even if it is a few thousand years later, I am afraid that it will remain like this.

It can only be said that the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated even now.

Xia You and Lijia took a closer look, only to see that the stone door was made of a heavy stone slab, built as a whole, with no doorknobs or keyholes on it, only a few grooves, obviously inlaid with something to trigger.

Pushing with his hand, Xia You only felt that the stone gate was extremely heavy, and it was cold to the hand, and he didn't move at all.

Indeed, as Metz said, in order to enter the stone chamber, you must find the right way to open the door.

However, looking at this gate, Xia You also suddenly remembered that this was not the first thing Xiao Zhi encountered after arriving at Hoenn and meeting Xiao Yao

Thing!

After thinking about it carefully, he vaguely remembered that the stone chamber seemed to lead to the underground, where there was an underground lake, and there was an ancient fish Pokémon living in the lake, and in addition, there were only a few murals with research value, and nothing else.

What kind of fish Pokémon is coming... Think about it...

By the way, it's the Ancient Sky Elacanth, a very ugly Pokémon that people don't know much about, and they haven't even discovered what kind of evolved form it has.

And most importantly, this fish is not unique to this area, and they can also be found in deeper underwater caves.

Thinking of this, Xia You immediately lost interest in opening the stone room.

Forget it, this kind of thing is still left to Ash, it's nothing more than a matter of a few days, and I don't need to bother to open this stone door.

Pretending to look at it with Lijia, after a while, both of them shook their heads at Metz, but fortunately Metz was used to it and didn't feel too disappointed about it.

After walking here for a while, seeing that it was not early, the two of them said goodbye to Metz and continued to walk towards Gumei Town.

Gumei Town, a place of accumulation, is a town where colorful flowers and green trees compete to show its beauty.

Located in the southern part of the Hoenn region, Gumei Town is located on the famous Orange Blossom City to the west, Orange Blossom City to the west, and along the mainland to the Purple Sumire City and Kena City to the north.

And the novice trainers who have never left White Town will also go in different directions here, challenging different gyms and starting their adventures.

By the time Xia You and Lijia came here, it was already dusk.

The two of them came directly to the Pokémon Center here, and just like the Johto and Seki areas, Miss Joy still worked here, responsible for healing Pokémon and taking care of the training personnel who stayed overnight.

"Welcome."

Seeing Xia You and the others, Joey raised a sweet smile on his face.

"Hello Miss Joy, excuse me, I'm here to log in to join the Hoenn Alliance."

Xia You greeted first, and then handed over his Pokémon Illustrated Book.

"Wait a minute."

Miss Joy took Xia You's illustrated book, and operated it on the computer a few times before she saw Xia You's information, and what she saw was the champion of the two events of the Quartz Conference and the Silver Conference, as well as the winning records of the two small events of the Orange Islands and the Vortex Islands!

Good... What a great result!

Glancing at Xia You in surprise, Miss Joy remained silent, and after logging in, she returned the Pokémon to him.

"After landing, then, Mr. Natsuyu, I wish you all the best in your Hoenn challenge!"

Xia Yu took the illustrated book and didn't leave in a hurry, but came to the portal on the side and contacted Koharu, who was far away at the Sakuragi Research Institute.

Now that he has come to a new continent, it is time for him to adjust his lineup.

After being contacted by Koharu, the two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then Xia You teleported back his Blastoise, Wonderful Frog Flower, Reib and Crystal Steel Snake, which were Pokémon that performed well in the Silver Conference and did not need to be tempered at all.

With their strength, it is more than a mistake to directly challenge the conference, where is there any need to travel, and then just ensure that the strength does not regress.

In this way, there are only nine Pokémon left on his body: Shanaiduo, Geng Ghost, Kuailong, Giant Pincer Mantis, Bankiras, Eevee, Lei Gong, Shuijun, and Shi Rabi.

Among them, Shanaiduo and Geng Ghost are the lineups that he can't shake and can't change, even if he goes to other regions, he will always accompany him.

Rabbi was new to him, and needed to continue to strengthen their relationship and take it with him to more delicacies, as he had promised.

In fact, as early as when she was on the boat, Xia You had already admitted to Lijia that she had already subdued Shi Rabi, and in this regard, Lijia did not feel any surprises, but was sincerely happy that her man could really accept Shi Rabi.

And Shui Jun and Lei Gong are his hole cards for traveling after the Three Holy Birds, and naturally they can't leave his side.

In addition to these few, the four regular Pokémon of the Fast Dragon, the Giant Pincer Mantis, Bankiras, and Eevee will be the Pokémon he focuses on cultivating in Hoen, striving to train them to the strength of Reib and the Crystal Steel Snake.

Of course, these four regular Pokémon alone are not enough to challenge the Rainbow Tournament, so you need to subdue a few more Pokémon.

After leaving the Pokémon Center, it was already dark, and the two simply found a hotel to stay in Gumei Town tonight.

After dinner, I couldn't help but walk slowly hand in hand in this quiet town, feeling with my heart and carefully understanding the difference between this continent that I have never set foot on and the city capital and Guandu.

Unfortunately, the wind is still the same wind, and the forest is just as dense.

If it weren't for the name of the town, Xia You would clearly know that he had set foot in Hoen, and he really couldn't tell the difference between them!
