"Hey! Does what you just said still count?" The trainer behind him yelled at Fossil.

The "casting a wide net" plan has made new progress. Now Fossil Maniac no longer needs to ask other trainers to search for the Phantom Tower in the desert.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to abandon the trainer who had received half the task, waved his hand at him, and said: "It doesn't count!"

Trainer: "..."

Hu Yang: "..."

"That's too much, wasting so much of my time!" The trainer muttered when he saw this, stamped his foot, turned around and left angrily.

Hu Yang looked at his back for a while, then turned his attention to Fossil Mania and said, "Are they these two?"

The fossil maniac carefully put away the two fossils like a child, and walked back while answering:

"That's right, it's them. Let's go back first!"

Hearing this, Populus euphratica raised his foot and followed him.

When he originally accepted this commission, Fossil Mania had agreed.

As long as he completes the commission, he will be allowed to choose three stones from the collection for free, plus a Pokédex that allows trainers to enjoy the Pokémon Center for free.

Populus euphratica has already used up one of the three opportunities to pick stones.

That keystone is the commission deposit paid by Fossil Maniac...

The second piece, Populus euphratica originally wanted a stone of light.

But now his Poison Rose has evolved into Rose Redo, and there are no other Pokémon on hand that need to evolve through the Light Stone.

Therefore, Populus euphratica wanted to see if the fossil maniac had dug up any other rare things this year.

The two entered the house one after the other.

As soon as the fossil maniac entered the door, he went straight to the workbench in the hall, gently placed the two precious fossils on the workbench, took out a magnifying glass, a clean rag and other tools from the drawer, and carefully identified them.

Hu Yang was not in a hurry, he still had plenty of time, so he stood in the hall and looked around.

Well, it’s been a year since we last met, and Fossil Mania’s home is still so messy.

A mess of stones and tools were piled haphazardly on the floor, and the pile in the corner was even covered with a thick layer of dust.

Fossil fanatics seem to have become addicted to the world of stones.

Seeing him like this, Hu Yang didn't bother him. Instead, he found a clean bench and sat on it with his mobile phone to play the mini-games that came with it.

About ten minutes later, the fossil maniac's identification finally came out with the results.

He raised his head with a red face and said excitedly: "That's right! These are the fossils of the legendary extinct ancient Pokémon Tentacle Lily and Ancient Feather Insect!"

With that said, Fossil Maniac turned his head and said to Populus euphratica: "Thank you very much for helping me bring them back!"

Hu Yang's attitude towards this matter was very indifferent.

It's just two ancient fossils. It's not a rare thing. Anyway, he has a lot of them.

"Come with me!" Fossil Maniac said again.

After a year, Populus euphratica once again returned to the underground treasure house used by fossil enthusiasts to collect rare stones.

As the fossil maniac walked, he babbled:

"You already took away a stone last time, and now you have two more opportunities to choose. I have prepared the Stone of Light for you. Take a look, is there anything else you want?"

At this time, his steps stopped, as if he remembered something, he patted his head and said:

"Oh, by the way! There is also a Pokémon illustrated book! Wait, I will get it for you right away!"

With that said, Fossil made a crazy turn, walked to a storage cabinet, opened the cabinet door, took out a red electronic illustrated book and handed it over.

Hu Yang took the illustrated book into his hand and pressed the button on it. Then, a mechanical voice came from above:

"Blank illustrated book! Please go to the local doctor's office to log in the holder's identity information! This illustrated book is a illustrated book given to ancient fossil researcher Yamakasa by the Fengyuan Alliance!"

Fossil laughed wildly and said: "I got this from the Alliance several years ago. It's very simple to register your identity in the illustrated book. Dr. Odamaki, you know that, right?"

Hu Yang nodded and said yes, she is his Pokémon nanny!

"That's fine. Just take the illustrated book and I'll write a letter of introduction for you later. Go to his place and show the letter to him, and he will help you register."

"After registration, this illustrated book officially belongs to you. From now on, you can take it with you and enjoy the free services of the Pokémon Center in any city."

"At the same time, it can also prove your identity as a trainer and record the number of badges you have collected."

"Of course, its functions don't stop there. If you encounter a Pokémon you don't know in the wild, just scan it with it and the Pokémon's information will automatically appear on the screen."

"In addition, it can also automatically scan and collect information about unrecorded Pokémon. If you discover many unknown Pokémon, you can also receive gifts from the alliance!"

Fossil Maniac introduced the information of the Pokémon Pokédex in detail, and Hu Yang listened carefully beside him.

From this point of view, a Pokémon illustrated book is really even more powerful for a traveling trainer.

However, he had also learned about the information in the illustrated book before.

Pokédex is a very valuable item, and not everyone is qualified to distribute it at will.

Only doctors or researchers appointed by the alliance can distribute it to new trainers.

For example, Dr. Oki from the Kanto region, Dr. Odamaki from Fengyuan, etc.

Before issuance, they will register the identities of trainers who are about to travel.

Therefore, the illustrated book is also used as a trainer's identification.

"I understand." Hu Yang nodded.

"That's no problem." Fossil Maniac relaxed and said: "Okay, there are two stones left, you can see what you like!"

After hearing this, Populus euphratica began to wander around the stone collection room.

The general layout here has not changed much from the last time he came here. The only difference is that there are many more small ornaments inside.

Populus euphratica looked at the restored fossil pterosaur skeleton and suddenly asked:

"Did you buy this thing from the Nibi Science Museum in the Kanto region?"

Fossil Maniac: "Huh? How do you know?"

"Because I've been there before and heard the staff mention it." Hu Yang replied.

Fossil Maniac laughed and said, "That's such a coincidence!"

"Fossils are the most wonderful things in the world. They are treasures left behind by time. They spanned countless years before they came to meet us in modern times!" Fossil Mania said infatuatedly.

Hu Yang: "..."

It's not that I can't understand it.

Take him for example, it was only after crossing a dimension with Pokémon that he was able to meet him.

The joy he felt when he conquered Pokémon for the first time was no less than the reaction of Fossil Maniac when he first saw those two fossils.

It's just that he is more reserved and doesn't show off like a fossil maniac.

After all, some hobbies are only suitable for hiding in the heart.

It would be bad if it was too obvious and would scare the Pokémon.

Hu Yang silently repeated this sentence in his heart, and then concentrated on picking out the stones he was interested in.

In addition to the basic evolution stones, there are many more various small stones in the fossil maniac's collection.

For example, hard stones that increase the power of rock-type moves,

A pumice stone that can make Pokémon lighter,

After being carried, evolution stones can improve the dual defense of Pokémon that can evolve, etc.

In addition to these, Populus euphratica also saw a pile of meteorite fragments.

Goldfinger's introduction said that they feel warm to the touch.

Hu Yang stretched out his hand and touched it, and found that it was indeed as warm as Goldfinger said.

magic.

This magic does not refer to those meteorite fragments, but to stone lovers like Fossil Maniac and Dawu.

It's too outrageous. I can dig up the ground with a stone and find the ancient ruins of the people of the Meteor.

Fossils were dug up like crazy, and a bunch of stone-type props were dug out.

This made it difficult for Hu Yang not to doubt whether he would be able to dig out the light stone and dark stone formed by Lei Ziram and Zekrom if he was sent to the Hezhong area.

Thinking of this, Populus euphratica turned to look at Fossil Mania.

"What's wrong?" Fossil Maniac was confused and touched his face: "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Hu Yang asked with great interest: "I would like to ask, are you interested in the Hezhong area?"

If he remembered correctly, there were also fossils that evolved into two ancient Pokémon in that place.

It seems to be called Archaeopteryx and Protozoa, right?
