After resting for the night, and having breakfast the next day, Xia You and Lijia left Gumei Town.

After all, there is nothing worth visiting here except for the ruins of ancient roses, so there is no need to continue wasting time here.

And then, in terms of route selection, the two got their heads together and studied for a while, and finally Xia You chose to go to Orange City first, and then go around in a big circle, passing through Kazna City, Autumn Leaf Town, Yinyu City, Shuijing City, Green Ridge City, Liuli City, and Dushui Town, and finally returned to the Hoenn Continent to challenge Kaina City and Zijin City.

Of course, this is not a fixed route, it is just planned as it is, and if there are changes or other circumstances, you can change it at any time.

However, before challenging the gym, Xia You decided to accept a few Pokémon first and expand his lineup.

After all, he can't always take some Pokémon that have participated in the tournament to challenge the Gym Competition, in that case, although it will be easy to get badges, but it will not serve the purpose of training Pokémon at all.

As for where is his favorite Pokémon nearby......

Xia You set his eyes on the mountains not far away.

Compared to these on the side of the road, the small woods or meadows that have already made the various trainers turn over the sky, and there should be some rare Pokémon hidden in the deep mountains in the distance.

With their supplies in hand, the two left the main road and headed for the mountains.

As they move away from the city, the road beneath their feet becomes more and more difficult, not only do they often have to change direction, the weeds do not reach their feet, they have to keep an eye on the situation, and they also have to wade through streams or burrow into dense forests from time to time.

Fortunately, the two of them have long been accustomed to such a journey, and even chatted leisurely, not taking such difficulties into account at all.

The surrounding scenery has become even greener.

It's far away from people, and he's not afraid of being encountered by others, so Xia You simply released Shi Rabi and Eevee together.

As one of the key cultivation goals in this area, Xia You has great expectations for Yibu, but this guy is too energetic, smelling east and west for a while, and frolicking with Shi Rabi, and he can't be quiet at all.

But because of such a Pokémon by their side, Xia You and Lijia don't feel the boredom of travel at all.

After walking for a long time, they came to the foot of the mountain, and just before going up the mountain, the two of them only felt that something suddenly happened in the grass beside them, and they flashed and ran into the distance.

When they looked up, they saw a wild Larulath burrowing into the bushes in the distance!

Larurath......

Looking at that familiar appearance, Xia You couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

By the way, there are indeed wild Larulas in the Hoenn area, and although they are still very rare, there are already a few trainers carrying them!

And as Shanaiduo's original form and his first Pokémon, Lalulath can be said to have accompanied Xia You through the most difficult time.

It's a pity that now it's not what it used to be, and I and Shanaiduo have grown a lot, and we can't go back to what we were then.

Alas......

It's really nostalgic and a sigh.

After sighing, Xia You and Lijia also went up the mountain.

After entering the mountain, there were obviously more wild Pokémon around, but under the mountainside, there were still those common Pokémon, and the two climbed halfway up the mountain and met dozens of different Pokémon, but they didn't have any interest in subduing them.

It's not surprising, if cherished Pokémon were so easy to find, they would have been all over the streets long ago.

Just like a few of Xia You's Pokémon, that is also borrowing the light of the anime, so that he is familiar with the plot, so that he can be successfully subdued, like now, it is basically a big luck, and it takes a blind cat to meet a dead mouse.

After all, this also involves the division of habitat and territory, unless wandering or migrating, a certain mountain, a certain lake, even if it is turned over and over, there are only so many Pokémon.

The road on the mountain is steep and difficult, which also makes the two lose the mood to talk and begin to concentrate on climbing the mountain.

When I came to the top of the mountain, even if I had traveled for so long, I had already exercised my physical strength,

It also made Xia You sweat finely.

Although I haven't encountered any rare Pokémon, the scenery here is really good, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, you can take the entire Gumei Town and Gumei ruins into your eyes, which is refreshing.

After a while of the mountain wind, Xia You's stomach was hungry, so he and Lijia set up a temporary camp here.

They were about to finish their lunch and rest for a while to descend the mountain, but they had just finished their lunch, and the aroma of the food was everywhere, and before they could start, they heard the grass tremble not far away.

Apparently something is hiding there!

The rabbi was the first to notice something approaching, and he held his food in his arms, as if afraid that someone would fight him.

Eevee, on the other hand, ran to the grass and barked at it.

Perhaps frightened by Eevee, the grass shook a few times, and then a small, chicken-like Pokémon jumped out of it.

Hey? It's not ......

Although it was the first time he had actually seen it, Xia You still recognized the identity of this Pokémon at a glance, which was the original form of the Flame Chicken - the Fire Chicken!

The young chicken's body resembles that of a chick, with a predominantly orange body, covered in fluffy feathers and two small wings, but apparently, it is not capable of flying.

Taking out the Pokémon Illustrated Book, Xia You aimed it at the turkey chicken.

Pokémon Illustrated Book: "Drop, fire chick, chick Pokémon, fire attribute, fire chick has a bag with flames in its body, as long as life is still alive, the flame will continue to burn, when it is held like a hot water bottle, when it is attacked by the enemy, it will spit out the fireball formed in the stomach from its mouth to attack, the scorching fireball of 1000 degrees Celsius can scorch the opponent, the most afraid of the dark night when you can't see your fingers, it often pecks at the ground in order to eat pebbles that can help digestion, These stones also raise the temperature of the flames it spews, which is called killing two birds with one stone."

As early as the Sakuragi Research Institute, Xia Yu asked Dr. Sakuragi to download his Pokémon Illustrated Book from all over the world, so after coming to Hoen, there is no need to upgrade it additionally, and it can be used as usual.

And whether it is a turkey chicken, or an evolved strong chicken, or a flame chicken, he likes it very much, and even before coming to Hoen, he has included the flame chicken in the must-take list.

Now, he was able to meet here, and he really wanted to doze off, so he came to a pillow, and it was really not in vain that he came to such a remote place.

But......

How did the turkey get here?

You must know that most fire-type Pokémon like drier places, and few of them run to the top of the mountain alone!

Seeing that the fire chicken wanted to escape, Xia You hurriedly called Yibu back and said to the fire chicken, "Are you attracted by the fragrance? What, do you want to eat it?"

Hearing this, the fire chicken didn't react, and Shi Rabi on the side hurriedly protected his plate, as if he was afraid that Xia You would divide its food.

After hearing Xia You's words, the fire chicken paused obviously, out of the unknown to humans, it actually didn't want to get so close, but there was no way, the taste of the food was too fragrant, so that it couldn't help but be attracted by the fragrance!

Seeing its hesitant look, Xia You smiled and said, "Then let's do it, come and fight with me!"

Pointing to his own Eevee, Xia Yu continued, "If you win this guy, you can eat whatever you want here, but if you lose, come with me and become my Pokémon, what do you think?"

The fire chicken looked up at Xia You, and then at Eevee, who was eager to try, his brows furrowed, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Xia You naturally didn't want to give it time to think, so he couldn't help but resort to the agitation method: "Huh? Do you still need to think about it? Could it be that ... Are you scared? Or are you not confident in yourself?"

Hearing that the human in front of him actually said that he was scared, the fire chicken immediately became angry!

It is a bold character in itself, otherwise it would have smelled the fragrance, and hid in the grass like this, and now when I hear this human, I dare to look down on it,

How can you stand it!

shouted a few times at Xia You, even if he didn't need Geng Ghost to translate, Xia You knew that this fire chicken must be saying: I'm not afraid, you just let the horse come!!

Glancing at each other with Lijia, a smile appeared on both of their faces.

Xia You naturally laughed at his success in his radical move, while Lijia shook her head helplessly.

It's really naïve enough for such a big person to still use this method, it's better to let Ibu attack and defeat it and subdue it directly!

Beside them was a clearing, and the turkey was the first to walk with his head held high, and Eevee leaped in front of it.

For this subjugation battle, Xia You did not give a command, but sat on the side for a long time, looking lively.

It's like an outsider!

It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that although the two Pokémon are only in their primary form, after all, Eevee has traveled with him for a while, and he has also participated in some battles, so he definitely has no problem with experience, and he doesn't need to interfere at all.

In the field, the two Pokémon faced each other, with a gap of more than ten meters in between, their eyes were firm, and they didn't flinch, and they didn't know if they had a heart, and suddenly the next second, they ran forward together and rushed towards each other!

Xia You's body sat slightly upright, carefully observing the fire chicken's every move.

I saw it run to Ievee, raise one of its claws, and scratch at Ievee's face, but Ievee was a little faster than it, and just turned around, and dodged safely.

After dodging the attack of the fire chicken, Eevee hit it headfirst, and the fire chicken was hit like this, and one of the fire chickens was so unstable that he almost fell, but after a few steps back to the side, he stopped his body.

However, it did not flinch, but its lower abdomen bulged, and as its mouth opened, a cloud of sparks erupted and burned towards Eevee!

Because of the distance, Ibu was also burned this time, but apparently he had already had the experience of dealing with it during his previous trips, rolling on the ground a few times and extinguishing the flames on his body with sand.

A momentary injury was naturally nothing to Eevee, and when it got up, it was entangled with the fire chicken again.

After watching it for a while, Xia You had already discovered that this fire chicken was actually turning over and over with just a few moves, and he didn't have any special skills, and with such strength, it was naturally impossible to win against Yibu.

Sure enough, the two Pokémon fought for a while, and the fire chicken's physical strength was obviously exhausted, and finally fell into the hands of Eevee's move, the high-speed star.

Seeing that the fire chicken fell to the ground, Xia You took out the Poke Ball that had been prepared a long time ago and threw it at it.

Bang~

The red light wrapped the fire chicken, and then brought its body into the Poké Ball, only to see the Poké Ball shake a few times, and then with a soft sound, it fell completely silent.

Very good, turkey chicken, successful acceptance!

After subduing the fire chicken, Xia You picked up the Poké Ball and released it again.

By the time Lijia had treated the wounds of the two Pokémon and given them a taste of Lijia's cooking, the turkey chicken, who had only met them for a few minutes, had become completely familiar with them.

Watching the turkey chicken play with Eevee and Shi Rabi, no longer looking like he was just unfamiliar at all, Xia You shook his head with amusement.

It can only be said that Pokémon of this personality is indeed very easy to get along with, and as long as you are kind to it, it will naturally return you with the same emotions.

But fortunately, thanks to such a character, Xia You did not waste so much time, and after this trip, he finally had an unexpected gain and obtained a new Pokémon.

And counting the fire chickens he just subdued, he has already obtained 19 Pokémon since his travels, and if you count Ladias and Ladios in the Water Capital, he has received a total of 21 Pokémon!

This is not a lot, but the quality of each one is highly guaranteed!

After resting at the top of the mountain for a while, after both of them had recovered their strength, Xia You packed his luggage and walked down the mountain with Lijia.

Coming with anticipation, returning satisfied!

This also lets

He was so happy that almost all the way down the mountain was humming a song!

However, after arriving at the foot of the mountain, in order to avoid attracting attention, he still put Shi Rabi and Eevee into the Poke Ball, leaving only the fire chicken by his side to continue to communicate with it and cultivate affection.

And when I returned to the main road and arrived at Orange City in the evening, the turkey was already completely familiar with Xia You, and it looked no different from ordinary Pokémon!

Orange Flower City, located in the southwest of the Hoenn continent, is a well-known city despite its small size and small population!

There is no other reason, it is precisely because of the strong strength of the owner of the Orange Flower Gym, Qianli, that many novice trainers are discouraged, and they have made a name for themselves.

It is said that the Chisato family originally lived in Johto, but only moved to Hoenn with their families to fulfill their duties as the owner of the gym.

This man has been in pursuit of great strength all his life, so people often describe him as 'he was literally made for Pokémon'.

However, it is already so late, and it is impossible for Xia You to take the liberty of challenging the gym at this time, and only by waiting for the next morning can he officially come to the door to challenge!
