Chapter 589 New area, new adventure

Om-!

The melodious sound of the whistle echoed in the port of Weibai Town. When the cruise ship crossing the ocean docked, Xia You and Li Jia followed the flow of people and went down the gangway to a continent they had never set foot on.

Hoenn Region, here we come!

This is Weibai Town, which can be said to be the starting town for novice trainers in the Fengyuan region. After parting with Xiaozhi and others in Chengdu a few days ago, Xiayou and Lijia went to the nearest port and took this A cruise ship came here.

Weibai Town, just like its name, is a country town unstained by any color and surrounded by fresh nature.

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

At the other end of Weibai Town is the home and research institute of Dr. Odamaki. Just like Dr. Oki in Kanto and Dr. Kuangmu in Johto, Dr. Odamaki is from the Hoenn region and has the ability to train novices. The authoritative doctor of starter Pokémon responsibilities!

As a proper 'newcomer' in the Fengyuan area, he naturally wants to start his new journey here.

However, the two of them did not take the liberty to disturb Dr. Odamaki. After all, there was no reason. They had never met before and no one recommended him, so it was difficult to visit him.

Let’s wait until we have the opportunity to get to know each other again in the future.

The first thing you do when you come to Hoenn is to log in to join the Hoenn League here. Only in this way can you challenge the various gyms here. However, by asking passers-by around you, you learned that there is no Pokémon Center here. If you want to To qualify for login, you must go to the nearby Gumei Town.

"It's really troublesome..." After hearing the news, Xia You couldn't help but shake his head, "Obviously this is the initial town, where many novice trainers start, but the Pokémon Alliance does not set up a Pokémon center here. It's really... I don’t know how to adapt.”

Lijia shook her head: "This should be their own consideration. After all, although the Pokémon Alliance is the largest organization in the world, they have limited funds and cannot do everything."

After taking the boat for several days, both of them were very energetic at this time, so they didn't stop too much in Weibai Town and headed north, directly towards Gumei Town.

In terms of climate and geographical location, the Hoenn region is located in the southwest of the Johto area, separated from the Johto area by a sea. Although they belong to two different continents, the overall customs and styles are not much different.

And here, there are also a variety of natural environments, ranging from tropical rainforests to deserts. There are also large and small islands scattered around the mainland. Generally speaking, the vegetation types and climate here are far better than those in other cities and Kanto. Warmer.

Xia You remembers that the prototype of the Fengyuan region seems to be Japan's Kyushu Island, but Kyushu is turned in one direction. The place name also comes from the Chinese character "芊縁", which means that the Fengyuan region is a place with "rich fate". I don't know if it's true.

After leaving Baibai Town, the two of them walked along the country road, admiring the scenery. They also saw many Pokémon along the way, although most of them were encountered in Kanto and Johto. But there are also some Pokémon, such as Coyote Dog and Snake Bear, which they saw for the first time.

Of course, for Xia You, although these Pokémon have been known to him in games or animations, it is indeed the first time that he has truly observed living life with his eyes, rather than cold electronic data, so It can be regarded as the first time I saw it in the true sense.

Nearing Gumei Town, they also saw an ancient ruins from a distance.

The ruins are located on a wasteland. There are more than a dozen huge oval-shaped stones standing outside. They are half buried in the soil, surrounding some ruins inside, and seem to be protecting it.

The two of them were curious and walked towards the ruins.

There are no protection measures at all outside the ruins. It seems that anyone can visit. The architectural ruins behind the stones are just low-rise houses built of stones. I don’t know how long they have existed. Some places have long been weathered and covered with dirt. traces of time.

There were several people dressed as scholars who had been busy there for a while. When someone looked up and saw them, they came over on their own initiative.

"Hello." This is a man about 27 or 28 years old. He is wearing overalls, his skin is slightly dark, and he has a pigtail. He looks a bit like Xiao Gang with wide eyes. He is smiling. After saying hello, he turned his eyes to Xia You and Li Jia, and said with a smile, "Are you also here to visit the ancient Mei ruins?"

"The ruins of ancient rose?"

The man nodded: "Yes, this is the Gumei ruins, and even the Gumei town next to it is named after it. Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Metz, a researcher engaged in this field. Currently The ruins are being studied here.”

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

"I'm Lijia."

"Would you like to visit the ruins?" Metz said with a smile, perhaps fearing that the two of them would misunderstand, and explained, "Although it is archaeological work, people know too little about this place and have not paid attention to it at all, so I am also committed to letting more people know about the ancient Mei ruins."

"So that's it."

Only then did Xia You understand why Metz took the initiative to greet them. After looking at each other and Li Jia, the two of them were not polite and followed him into the ruins together.

With Metz's introduction, the two of them also had a general understanding of this place. However, Xia You discovered that this place was obviously just an ordinary ruins, but the researchers were still using instruments to detect something.

"Mr. Metz." He asked curiously, "Is there any secret here that has not been discovered?"

Metz nodded: "Actually, buried in this ruins is a door that connects the ancient Pokémon world with the modern Pokémon world."

"door?"

"That's right, it's a door." Metz explained, "The door is located outside a stone room. There is a strange structure on the door. We can't open it yet, and if we force the door to enter, the structural mechanism will be triggered and the door will be opened. The whole place was destroyed, so until now, we still know nothing about the world behind the door.”

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

In his opinion, even if you don't destroy the door, you can still enter the stone room. It's nothing more than using some ghost-type Pokémon to pass through the wall.

Of course, humans will definitely not be able to get through, but at least they can see clearly what is in the stone chamber.

But having said that, if that door is full of magical power like a portal and will transport people who enter behind the door to another place, then that's a different story.

Li Jia also asked: "Then what is the connection you just mentioned?"

"It refers to those ancient Pokémon." Maze said with emotion, "I guess behind the door of the stone chamber, there should be extinct Pokémon like fossil pterosaurs and sickle helmets, or there may be some treasures that we have not yet discovered. Kemeng.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Xia You and said with a smile: "Actually, when I just saw you, I already guessed that you are Pokémon trainers, and I have invited several trainers before. Enter the stone chamber with me and let them help me decipher the secret of the door without destroying the structure."

Although Metz hasn't spoken yet, he knows without thinking that those trainers must have failed.

While they were talking, they had already arrived outside the door of the stone room.

Compared with other parts of the ruins, this stone chamber is made of unknown stones. It is extremely well-preserved and very strong. Even after thousands of years, the structure is still standing. It seems that even after another I'm afraid it will remain like this for thousands of years.

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

Xia You and Li Jia took a closer look and saw that the stone door was made of a thick stone slab. There were no doorknobs or keyholes on it, only a few grooves, which obviously needed to be inlaid with something to trigger it.

Pushing it with her hand, Xia You felt that the stone door was extremely thick and cold, and it did not move at all.

Indeed, as Metz said, if you want to enter the stone chamber, you must find the correct way to open the door.

But looking at this gate, Xia You suddenly remembered that this was the first thing Xiaozhi encountered after arriving in Fengyuan and meeting Xiaoyao!

After thinking about it carefully, he vaguely remembered that the stone chamber seemed to lead underground. There was an underground lake there, and an ancient fish Pokémon lived in the lake. In addition, there were only a few murals with research value, and there were no more Something else.

What kind of fish Pokémon is it... Let me think about it...

By the way, it's the Ancient Coelacanth, which is a very ugly Pokémon. People's understanding of it is limited, and they haven't even discovered what kind of evolved form it has.

And most importantly, this kind of fish is not unique here. They can also be found in deeper underwater caves.

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

Forget it, let's leave this kind of thing to Xiaozhi. It's just a matter of a few days, and he won't have to bother to open this stone door.

They pretended to look at it with Li Jia. After a while, they both shook their heads at Maze. Fortunately, Maze was used to it and didn't feel too disappointed.

After wandering around here for a while, seeing that it was getting late, the two of them said goodbye to Metz and continued walking towards Gumei Town.

Gumei Town, a place where little things have happened, is a beautiful town filled with colorful flowers and green trees.

Gumei Town is located in the southern part of Fengyuan area. To the west is the famous Chenghua City, which leads to Chenghua City to the west. To the north, you can also follow the mainland to reach Zijin City and Kaina City. It can be said that it is located on an important road. , is the only way to many places.

Novice trainers who have never left Bai Town will also go in different directions here to challenge different gyms and start their adventures.

By the time Xia You and Li Jia arrived here, it was already dusk.

The two came directly to the Pokémon Center here, and just like in Johto and the Kan area, Miss Joy still worked here, responsible for treating Pokémon and taking care of the trainers who stayed there.

"welcome."

Seeing Xia You and the other two, Joey had a sweet smile on his face.

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

Xia You said hello first and then handed over his Pokédex.

"Please wait."

Miss Joy took Xia You's illustrated book and operated it on the computer for a few times before she could see Xia You's information clearly. What she saw were the champions of the Quartz Conference and the Silver Conference, as well as the Orange Islands and the Whirlpool Islands. Winning records in two small events!

Good... what a great result!

Glancing at Xia You in surprise, Miss Joy remained calm. After logging in, she returned the Pokédex to him.

"Login completed, then, Mr. Xia You, I wish you good luck in your challenge in Fengyuan!"

Xia You took the illustrated book and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he came to the conveyor nearby and contacted Koharu who was far away in Sakuragi Research Institute.

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

After Xiaochun got in touch, the two of them exchanged a few words first, and then Xia You sent his Blastoise, Bulbasaur, Leib and Crystal Steel Snake. These animals performed outstandingly at the Silver Conference and were completely unnecessary. The retrained Pokémon was teleported back.

With their strength, it would be a mistake to directly challenge the conference. There is no need to travel. Next, they just need to ensure that their strength does not deteriorate.

As a result, the only Pokémon left on him were Gardevoir, Gengar, Dragonite, Mantis, Bankelas, Eevee, Raikou, Suicune, and Celebi.

Among them, Gardevoir and Gengar are his unbeatable and impossible to change lineup. Even if they go to other regions, they will always accompany him.

Celebi is his new conqueror, and he needs to continue to consolidate the relationship between them and take it to more delicious food as he promised.

In fact, as early as on the boat, Xia You had already confessed to Lijia that he had conquered Celebi, and Lijia was not surprised at all. On the contrary, she was sincerely happy that her man could really conquer Celebi. .

Suicune and Raikou are his trump cards for travel after the Three Sacred Birds, so naturally they cannot leave his side.

In addition to these few, the four regular Pokémon, Kuailosaurus, Giant Claw Mantis, Bankiras, and Eevee, will be the Pokémon he focuses on cultivating in Hoenn, and strives to train them to the level of Eevee. , the strength of the big crystal steel snake.

Of course, these four regular Pokémon alone are not enough to challenge the Caiyu Tournament, so a few more Pokémon need to be conquered.

After leaving the Pokémon Center, the sky had darkened, so the two simply found a hotel to stay in Gumei Town tonight.

After dinner, I couldn't help but walk hand in hand in this quiet town, feel it with my heart, and appreciate how different this continent I have never set foot is from Johto and Kanto.

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

If it weren't for the name of the town, which made Xia You clearly know that he had set foot in Fengyuan, he would really not be able to tell the difference between them!
