Chapter 268 Populus euphratica’s plush mythical beast (two-in-one)

After leaving the Sendoff Mountain, Populus euphratica originally wanted to let the Lightning Bird fly to Yinyu City in one go.

But he never thought that it would rain on the way, and it was getting dark soon, so he could only give up this plan temporarily and choose to land in the forest below to find a place to rest.

The climate of the Hoenn region is a bit like a temperate oceanic climate, with mild rain and humid weather throughout the year.

Overall, it's very livable.

Although there is nothing wrong with walking in the rain, Populus euphratica doesn't like the feeling of getting wet all over.

Since he was not in a hurry anyway, he released the roaring whale and let it float above his head to act as an umbrella, while letting it replenish water through rainwater.

Hu Yang originally thought that he needed to explain it in detail to the Howler Whale first. However, although the Howler Whale was a little timid, his little mind was still very smart.

It lowered its head, looked at Populus euphratica with slightly wet hair with its small eyes, and then followed the steps of Populus euphratica like a cloud that followed automatically.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Populus euphratica touched the round belly of the roaring whale and said with a smile.

"Hooo~"

Howler whales love rainy weather.

Because in this environment, even the air that is breathed in is full of water, which makes Roaring Whale, a water Pokémon, feel very comfortable.

Seeing that it was quite happy to play alone, Populus euphratica took his eyes back from the roaring whale and began to look for a place to camp at night.

The wild environment in the Pokémon world is great, and the grass and woods are almost the same as those shown in the anime.

Because of the rain, the forest seemed a little quiet at this time, and there didn't seem to be a single Pokémon.

But Populus euphratica knows that those little guys must have returned to their nests now, or are licking their fur gently, or quietly looking at the heavy rain outside.

Because there were two water-type Pokémon with him, the place where Populus euphratica finally found it was a relatively open space by the river.

He asked the Howler Whale to block the rain above, while he released Gengar and Chirulian, and they worked together to set up a tent in the rain below.

Soon, the tent was set up, and Populus euphratica and Charizard began to make a fire and cook under the Roaring Whale, while Gengar looked around and then floated away.

When it came back, there were several large leaves similar to lotus leaves in its arms.

Gengar held up the rhizome of the leaf to serve as an umbrella, and then gave the other leaves to Kirulian and Axetooth.

So when Populus euphratica turned back to look for them, he saw this scene - several Pokémon stood in a row under a big tree, holding a big leaf in their hand as an umbrella, and stared blankly at them.

Rain dripping from the edges of the leaves.

Seeing Populus euphratica looking at them, the little guys had silly smiles on their faces.

Populus euphratica waved to them: "Come here for dinner!"

At the command, several Pokémon ran over in a swarm.

The smell of delicious food spreads along the moist air.

There is nothing more comfortable than drinking a bowl of hot and fragrant soup on a rainy day.

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the forest not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a Pokémon with three stupid hairs on its head and a body like a duck ran out of the grass.

It's just that its body color is not the yellow color of ordinary Kodak ducks, but a very handsome blue-blue color.

That's...a flashy duck!

Hu Yang's eyes widened.

What kind of luck is he?! Not long ago, he encountered a natural Shiny Howler, and now he encountered a second Shiny Pokémon!

Although he can use the modifier to modify it himself, there is no artificially produced wild incense, not to mention the shiny Pokémon encountered in the wild, which is also a proof of good luck.

Gotta conquer it!

Hu Yang's heart moved, and just when he was about to take out the elf ball, he heard a girl's voice coming from behind Kodak:

"Hey! Wait for me! Where are you going?!"

The sound came from far to near, and soon the owner of the sound emerged from the dense grass and bumped into the duck.

It was a cute girl wearing an orange beret, a khaki T-shirt and shorts.

Although the girl looks quite cute, she still can't hide her embarrassment.

"Kada?" Koda Duck turned around and looked at his trainer with dull eyes.

The girl touched her painful head. As soon as she stood up from the ground, she saw the boy not far away and the group of Pokémon surrounding him.

Oh, it turns out that this shiny duck has a trainer.

Hu Yang regretfully took his eyes away from the Duck and put the Poké Ball back into his pocket.

"Hello...Hello!" The girl's face was slightly red, as if she was a little embarrassed about her hair loss just now.

"Hello." Hu Yang greeted her politely.

"Excuse me, are you also a trainer who is traveling outside?" The girl said, but there was a growling sound in her stomach.

An embarrassing atmosphere suddenly filled the air.

The girl's face became even redder.

"..."

Hu Yang glanced at the small and pitiful backpack she was carrying on her back, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I still have food here, if you don't mind."

This place was still a long way from the nearest town, and the girl obviously didn't have much food left.

Now that she heard this, her face immediately showed an expression of great gratitude, she bent down deeply with a duck in her arms, blushed and said loudly: "Excuse me!"

Hu Yang: "..."

The girl looked as if she hadn't eaten for a long time, and she started to devour it as soon as she sat down.

Populus euphratica had already eaten enough, so he hugged Chilulian and squeezed its little hands and feet like a cat, while staring at the duck that was feasting on food.

Although Pokémon with different colors are very rare, most Pokémon with different colors are actually quite ugly.

For example, the green Flash Monster, the green Flash Dragon, and a lot of other Pokémon with devilish colors are so ugly that people can’t look straight at them.

However, the color scheme of Sparkling Duck is not as ugly as those Pokémon, and is actually quite cute.

Hu Yang felt itchy and wanted to steal this little girl's duck.

However, as a good law-abiding citizen, he cannot do such a thing.

The girl on the side finally filled her stomach, and she found that the kind-hearted trainer was staring at her Pokémon without blinking.

After thinking about it, he took the initiative to introduce: "This Pokuda is a Pokémon I caught in the hunting area. In order to catch it, all my food was eaten by the Pokémon there, so...

"That's why she ended up like this.

I originally thought that as long as I speed up, I would be able to reach the next town in a short time, but I never thought that Kodak would always leave the Poke Ball on his own halfway and run around, provoking wild Pokémon living in the forest.

Hearing this, Populus euphratica keenly captured a key term: "Hunting zone?"

He recalled it carefully, and it seemed that there was indeed such a place on the way from Yinyu City to Shuangshen Mountain.

The girl nodded and introduced: "In the hunting area, there are many rare Pokémon that are not found in the outside world living in the wilderness there. As long as you pay the entrance fee of 500 alliance coins, you can go in and catch Pokémon at will."

"Oh." Populus euphratica also remembered about the hunting zone at this time, and nodded, indicating that he understood.

Hu Yang plans to go there early tomorrow morning to check in, see if there are any Pokémon he likes, and take them home to raise them.

He was thinking this in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He just looked at the girl and asked, "Are you a trainer who just went on a trip?"

The girl nodded sheepishly: "Yes, I'm from Akiye Town, my name is Qingtian Yuka, thank you very much for the food."

"It's nothing, don't worry too much." Hu Yang said. He had been helped by others before, not to mention that this kind of thing was just a piece of cake for him.

Although there are bad people in this world, most people are still kind.

After solving the dinner problem, Hu Yang took out a new spare tent for the embarrassed girl.

When the other party saw Gengar taking out such a large tent from his body, his mouth opened wide in shock.

"Pokémon have a variety of magical abilities. As trainers, we should develop and use these abilities reasonably." Hu Yang shrugged and said calmly.

"Is this Gengar? What a magical Pokémon!" the girl envied.

If she also has such a Pokémon, then she won’t have to worry too much about not being able to fit the things she wants to take on future trips!

"Okay, it's time to go to sleep." Hu Yang said.

It's getting late, and rainy days are the best time to lie down and sleep, so Populus euphratica is not planning to stay up late tonight.

He put the few Pokémon still outside into their Poké Balls, then took off his muddy sneakers and returned to the tent.

Then……

He took out the elf ball of unknown totem.

With a flash of white light, the unknown totem Z appeared in this small but warm space.

Unknown Totem Z looked around and looked very happy, floating briskly around the tent.
