However, this trip to the Hoenn area, Naoki failed to make it after all.

As soon as he hurried to the pasture, the dragon came back with scars all over his body.

Seeing this scene, Naoki was stunned and hurriedly ran forward to check Kuailong's injuries.

The scales on the dragon's body were broken, and the abdomen was red from the violent impact, and it looked very embarrassed and unrefreshed.

"What are you doing all this far?" Naoki was a little distressed, and hurriedly beckoned his brother to take a bottle of life goat's milk and feed it to Kuailong.

After drinking the goat's milk, Kuailong's state recovered, but he was still depressed.

It drooped its head and glanced at Naoki, feeling very sad in its heart.

It didn't catch a bigger fish than a tuna and gave it to Naoki, and lost to the big fish Pokémon, so he had to go back to the ranch in disgrace.

"Whew......"

Kuailong felt like he was running out of faces.

"Forget it, just come back anyway." Naoki sighed, reached out and touched his own fast dragon's head, and apologized to it, "I'm sorry, I neglected your feelings, I won't do that in the future." ”

Hearing this, Kuailong's lonely eyes lit up slightly, but he quickly lowered his head sadly.

Naoki leads the man into the living room and comes to King Leiguan, asking him to help act as an interpreter.

"Tell me why you ran away from home all of a sudden." Naoki asked with a serious expression.

Running away from home? The dragon was stunned, it didn't run away from home!

"Woohoo!"

So then, under the translation of Lei Guanwang, Naoki finally understood the whole story.

It turns out that Kuailong is not running away from home, but wants to go to the sea to catch a bigger fish for him.

But it walked around the waters on the Padian side, but failed to meet a bigger fish.

So it flew somewhere else, and after a long search and asking about the local Pokémon, it finally found a large fish Pokémon.

Naoki: "......"

This strange desire to compare and lose.

Hearing this, Naoki immediately understood how the fast dragon provoked Gaioca.

Kualong: "Woo, woo......" (That Pokémon lives in a deep, deep sea...... ）

It tells Naoki in detail about the scene at that time.

At that time, it broke into the Pokémon's home and woke up the sleeping other.

In the mysterious and secluded underwater cave, the Pokémon stared at it with its golden pupils, and its voice was as thick as the sea:

"Intruder, what are you doing here?"

The fast dragon was shocked by the majestic aura emanating from the other party's body at that time, and it told the other party the purpose of its trip in a daze:

"Woo ......" (I came here to find the world's largest fish to give to Naoki...... ）

The biggest fish? Absurd! It's the embodiment of the sea!

Gaioca was a little angry, as for Naoki in the back...... It sounds like it should be a human name.

A weak fast dragon who wants to give it to a human?

The god of the sea was enraged, and the sea around him seemed to boil, and the waves were instantly enormous.

Realizing the danger, the dragon exploded with scales all over his body, quickly mobilized his energy, and made preparations to deal with it.

Wisps of white air surged around it, and a strong wind suddenly blew through the dense cavern.

Just when the fast dragon thought that the other party was going to lose his mind and attack it, the mysterious Pokémon suddenly stopped.

I saw Gaioca staring at the fast dragon in front of him with a little confusion, because it felt an aura of the same origin as the sea from this fast dragon.

This breath made Gaioca gradually calm down.

It's not that it's scared, it's just that it suddenly remembers its nemesis.

Now, the earth and the sea are in balance.

Once its strength is slightly weakened, then its sworn enemies will probably take the opportunity to compete with it for the natural energy between heaven and earth, so as to expand their territory.

It didn't want to see Groudor standing on the Mount Sunken setting off fireworks.

So, after calming down, Gaioca returned to the lake and said to the fast dragon, who was not overwhelmed:

"Overcome me, and you will have my approval."

Then, the dragon challenged Gaioca.

Gaioca didn't use his own energy or moves, he simply mobilized the power of the water lurking in the sea around him, and easily defeated the dragon.

The defeated dragon falls into the sea, while Gaioca returns to his deep sleep in the underwater cavern, waiting for the right moment.

The struggle between the earth and the sea will never end, maybe for decades, maybe for hundreds of years, maybe even further into the future.

Someday, there will be another feud between it and Groud.

Naoki: "......"

It seems that he misunderstood Gaioca, and it was not Gaioca who took the initiative to attack the fast dragon, but the fast dragon who provoked Gaioca.

I just don't know why Gaioca, who was obviously angry, didn't deliberately hurt the fast dragon, but instead put forward the conditions for it to approve the battle.

Naoki pondered in his mind the relationship between the legendary Pokémon in the Hoenn region, and soon got the answer.

- Because of Groudato.

Naoki sighed and said to Kualong, "Forget it this time, you must not do such a dangerous thing again in the future, do you know?" ”

The fast dragon was sad: "Wow......"

It just wants to catch a big fish and give it to Naoki, like those fast dragons who work part-time.

Naoki saw what Kuailong meant, and he let out a sigh in his heart, reached out and touched Kuailong's head, and said to it:

"I don't want the biggest fish in the world."

The dragon looked up and looked at him blankly.

Naoki stepped forward again and took the initiative to hug Kuailong: "Don't do dangerous things, I don't care if there are big fish, and I don't care about the gifts you give me, I only care about your safety, you know?" ”

Kuailong's eyes lit up completely, it stretched out its big paws, and hugged Naoki back with emotion in its heart: "Whew! ”

Naoki smiled, patted the fast dragon on the back with his hand, and said to it:

"We don't need to take risks, we just have enough fish to eat, and we can live together for the rest of our lives like we are now."

Kuailong nodded happily.

That's when Naoki let go of the fast dragon.

"That's it! It's good to be back! Mrs. Dantès and they have been worried about you for the past two days of your absence, and I will give you some biscuits and Baufen later, and you can bring them over and tell them that they are safe! ”

"Whew~"

Kuailong happily agreed, and stayed in the pasture to stick with Naoki for a while, and then took the gift and flew to the town of Yanqin.

The part-time workers in the ranch, Kuailong and Haklong, saw the happy appearance of Kuailong about to fly, and their faces showed confused and puzzled expressions.

"Huh?" Did it pick up Baufen on the way? A quick dragon asked.

For them, it is indeed a joy to find Boffen on the road.

The other dragons shook their heads, saying they didn't know either.

Not far away, Gu Leton, who was basking in the sun on the grass, glanced at Kuailong, yawned lazily, and then closed his eyes and continued to enjoy this beautiful afternoon.

*

February 29, 199 in the Union calendar.

Early in the morning, Naoki said goodbye to a group of Pokémon in the ranch and rode to Glass Bottle City on his way.

Because this business trip is for agricultural exchanges, I'm afraid I don't have much time to play there, not to mention that Kitakami Township is still a very remote country town, so Naoki only brought five Pokémon by his side: Old Leton, Babu Tupa, Motorcycle Lizard, Winged Hair and Kuailong.

The rest of the Pokémon are responsible for staying in the ranch and keeping the ranch running.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Naoki rushed to the glass bottle airport.

Because Oldton can't be included in the Poké Ball, he directly buys a plane ticket for Oldon.

However, due to the size of the plane, the seat on the plane could not accommodate it, so Naoki had to place it in the baggage compartment at the suggestion of the flight attendant.

Looking at Gu Leton's aggrieved eyes, Naoki reached out and touched its head: "Obedient, I'll be there soon!" ”

"......Ahh

Naoki couldn't bear it, but there was no way, he didn't know the specific location of Kitakami Township, and there was no way to fly directly on a Pokémon, and the best way to sail across the region was by plane and ship.

Return to the cabin and sit tight as the plane takes off normally.

Naoki closed his eyes and squinted for a moment.

He woke up, drank some water, went to the bathroom, and then began to sit in his seat and read a book.

I don't know how long it took, but the radio on the plane finally broadcast the news that the flight was about to arrive at its destination.

Naoki put away the book, and when the plane landed, he immediately went to the baggage compartment to find the wronged old Lerton who was huddled in the corner, and then kissed it fiercely on the forehead.

"Poor little guy, I've wronged you, the destination has arrived, it's time to go!"

"Ahh So Leton's eyes widened in disbelief, and then happily responded to Naoki's "tongue licking" attack.

When the passenger behind him heard that, they thought it was some kind of cute Pokémon with small sizes such as Eevee and Pikachu.

As a result, she took a closer look, but found that it was a big guy who was so big and had a fierce face, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: "Where is this little guy?" ”

Naoki didn't notice the other people's expressions, he took Soleton off the plane, and the first thing he did was to find the local Pokémon center, and use the video phone there to contact the ranch and report that everyone was safe.

It wasn't until all this was done that Naoki took out the map and set off for Kitakami Township according to the route planned above.

Due to the location of Kitakamigo far from the big city and in the secluded countryside, the only way to get there is to go to the bus stop and take a bus.

But there's a reason for Le Dun, even if you don't have to take a bus.

So, after planning the route, Naoki rode onto the back of the old Leton, flew into the sky, and headed in the direction of Kitakamito.

On the way, Naoki has been looking at the Kitakamigo tour guide that he just bought at the airport.

As mentioned above, Beishang Township is not the name of a specific town, but a general term for a large area.

There's only one town there, and it's called Verdant Town.

It is worth mentioning that this guide says that there are also many legends circulating in Verdant Town.

One of the things that attracts Naoki the most is the legend about the "ghost of Kitakamigo".

Here's how it is described:

"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there were very terrible ghosts in Kitakami Township, and the ghosts were entrenched in the mountains behind the village, and they usually scared people who entered the mountains.

One day, the ghost was furious and suddenly descended the mountain, causing the villagers to fall into a panic.

The three Pokémon fought for their lives and finally drove the ghosts back into the mountains, and the villagers affectionately called them the heroic Treasure Companions, buried their remains, and built a statue of the Treasure Companion on them."

"Interesting." Naoki is interested, did Pokémon beat Pokémon to death?

If this is also the case in the game, it would be the first time he has seen such a straightforward description of the death of a Pokémon.

However, judging from this legend, it seems that the ghost did not die, but was driven into the mountains, and it was the three treasure companions who died.

Three strikes and one were also wiped out by the regiment...... How strong should that ghost be?

At this time, Naoki glanced up at the front, and after seeing the distant scene, he knew in his heart: Kitakami Township has arrived.

From above, Kitakami-go is surrounded by mountains, and at the foot of the mountain is a small Japanese-style town.

The town is surrounded by farmland, apple orchards and other tranquil natural landscapes that distinguish it from the Padian region.

"Is this the North Upper Township?" Looking at this beautiful pastoral scenery, Naoki's eyes lit up.

I have to say, this place is really good!

He looked down at the road below, then patted Oldton on the back and motioned for it to land.

Because Mayor Thomas said that someone would pick him up at the station and take him to Verdant Town.

When Guleton landed at the bus stop next to the road, Naoki saw a gray-haired grandmother there.

He stepped forward to show his identification plate, and the old woman's face suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"Y-Where are you from?"

Naoki smiled slightly, pointed to Gu Leton behind him and said, "My Pokémon flew me here." ”

"It really scared me, I said I didn't see the bus, so that's it! Hello, Naoki, welcome to Kitakami Township, I'm Yukiko from the public hall, let's go! I'll take you to town! An old man named Yukiko said.

"Thank you very much." Naoki politely thanked him, and then followed Yukiko along the concrete road.

There was a twelve-hour time difference between Beishang Township and the Padia region, and they spent a lot of time on the road, and it was almost dark by here.

Naoki looked around, looking at the Pokémon in the grass not far away, which were hard to see in the Padia region.

Silk spider, coyote dog, insect bud......

Gradually, as the distance from Emerald Green Town got closer and closer, neat rice fields began to appear on both sides of the road.

What surprised Naoki even more was that in these rice fields, he actually saw the figures of the lobster creeps and Ubo!

Yukiko said in a friendly way, "Upo and the lobster creeps will make the soil in the field more fertile and help the rice fields grow, and the town has asked these two Pokémon to help in the rice fields a long time ago. ”

Naoki had a lot of questions in his heart.

Don't lobster creeps destroy the rice in the field?

If he's not mistaken, Ubo's skin and mucous membranes seem to be poisonous, right?

After passing through the paddy field area, they officially arrived at Verdant Town.

This rural town is not as lively as the town of Zhiqin, where there are very few people, to be precise, very few young people.

It was evening, and many old people had just finished dinner and were leisurely walking around the town.

The town has a well-paved cement road that looks very clean and tidy, typical of the Japanese style.

Like the town of Ranqin, Pokémon can be found everywhere in this place.

The little boar that followed the trainer, the coo who stayed on the roof, and the little furry six-tails who were lying on the eaves.

Naoki was instantly attracted by the six-tails.

it! There are six tails in this place!

The fluffy and warm six-tailed with a white belly is so cute!

Gu Leton, who was on the side, saw Naoki's eyes, and suddenly showed a helpless expression on his face: "Ahh......h

It's here again.
