Beside a vast river in the northwest of Heijin City.

Populus euphratica held the fishing rod, sat on the pony and looked at the buoy on the water intently.

Suddenly, the buoy shook violently, and Populus euphratica closed the pole with force. Then, a big fish was caught.

“Boga boga!”

"Success!"

Populus euphratica put the big fish into the small bucket next to it. At this time, the Ancient Moon Bird also flew back from the center of the river and put a fish in its mouth into the bucket.

Populus euphratica touched its head and said with a smile: "Okay, these are enough. We can't eat any more."

Gu Yueniao's eyes were dull and he didn't know if he understood.

It lowered its head and did not fly out to catch fish again. Instead, it stayed where it was and began to preen its feathers with its beak.

Seeing this, Populus euphratica took the small bucket full of fish to the side and handled it.

It has been two days since he left Shuimai City, and he is currently on his way to Black Gold City, where he plans to go to the Black Gold Carbon Pit to replenish the stone resources in the ecological park.

After that, I plan to go to Huayuan Town to visit the local flower fields, learn the experience of cultivating flower fields, and then transform the open spaces on the ecological island into flower fields.

Thinking about these things in his mind, after a while, the fish were processed. Populus euphratica prepared one for soup and the others for roasting.

Although there are many Pokémon around, not every Pokémon has fish in their diet. The Pokémon that doesn't eat fish, Populus euphratica, has prepared other foods for them.

Skew the fish with a skewer, brush it with a layer of oil, and grill it slowly on the fire. After a while, the fish meat turns golden brown, and an attractive fragrance fills the air.

Smelling this smell, Bogaman, who was playing by the river, was immediately attracted. He looked at the grilled fish in Populus euphratica's hands with bright eyes: "Bogaman..."

Hu Yang looked at this little guy amusedly, and then skillfully brushed a layer of sweetness brewed by the three bees on the grilled fish.

Suddenly, the fragrance in the air became more attractive.

The golden fat sizzles on the white and tender fish meat, and the burnt aroma of grilled fish and the unique taste of honey perfectly blend together.

This time, even the Ancient Moon Bird was attracted.

Seeing this, Hu Yang couldn't help laughing and said: "Are you that hungry?"

Bogaman's saliva flowed down like a waterfall, and he nodded his little head repeatedly: "Bogaboga!"

Ancient Moon Bird: "Gah."

When the fish was almost cooked, Hu Yang took out a fork and knife, cut off two pieces of fish meat, and fed them to several Pokémon in turn.

Fortunately, the fish was plump and delicious enough.

But a piece of fish meat did not satisfy the Pokémon, but instead aroused their appetite.

Seeing this, Populus euphratica looked helpless.

"Come on."

He sighed, took out two fishes from the bucket, and continued to be a professional fish griller.

The Pokémon didn't go anywhere, they were all gathered around the fire, waiting for the fish to be roasted.

After a feast of wine and food, Hu Yang packed his luggage, stretched his sore wrists, put the Pokémon back into the Poké Ball, and prepared to continue setting off.

This forest is not big, Rotom said. You can reach Black Gold City by walking through this forest and turning a corner.

At this time, Pogaman seemed to suddenly discover something, turned his head and looked towards the other side of the jungle.

"What's wrong?" Hu Yang asked.

“Boga boga!”

"You mean, there are two Pokémon fighting there?"

Pogaman nodded: "Poga Poga!"

In the wild, it is common for wild Pokémon to fight over territory or food.

The road Bogaman pointed to happened to be the way out of the forest. Populus euphratica continued to walk forward. After a while, he saw two Pokémon pinched together in a dense bush.

A circle bear and a fiery monkey.

They fought hard, you punched me and I kicked them equally well, and they were all covered in color.

There were even a few long-tailed monsters standing on the surrounding trees, eating tree fruits while watching the battle below.

He looked like a bunch of people eating melons.

Just as Populus euphratica was hesitating whether to intervene to break up the fight, suddenly, a melodious flute sound came from the distant jungle.

Hearing this sound, the fighting ring bear and fiery monkey stopped in unison, as if they had regained their composure, they let go of each other and each took a step back.

Seeing this scene, Hu Yang was also slightly startled.

At this time, a figure walked out of the grass.

She has beautiful long golden hair, is wearing a red skirt, and is holding a grass flute in her hand. She looks bright and dazzling.

"You guys have to be good!" The girl looked at the circle bear and the fiery monkey and said with a smile.

The circle bear and fiery monkey, who had regained their composure, glanced at the girl, then turned around and left.

The girl looked up at Populus euphratica in the grass opposite and Bogaman in his arms, raised her eyebrows, and asked: "Are you a traveling trainer?"

Hu Yang nodded: "Yes."

The girl asked again: "Are you going to Baiyang Town?"

Baiyang Town? Populus euphratica was slightly startled.

Isn’t that the place where the theatrical version of “The Tower of Time” takes place?

There, a big battle broke out between Dialga and Palkia, and the entire town was affected, dragged into Palkia's time and space, and almost destroyed in the gap between dimensions.

A pitch black figure appeared in Hu Yang's mind.

Although his original destination was not Baiyang Town, judging from the map, Baiyang Town is near Heijin City. If he wants to go to Heijin City, he must first pass through Baiyang Town.

So, Populus euphratica nodded and said, "Yes, it's Baiyang Town."

Hearing this, the girl smiled, turned around and said, "In that case, come with me!"

Populus euphratica followed, and not long after, he saw a hot air balloon in an open space in front of him.

The girl walked up first, looked at Hu Yang and said: "My name is Alice. I am currently a tour guide and studying music."

Hu Yang boarded the hot air balloon: "I am Hu Yang, a trainer traveling in the Sinnoh region."

The hot air balloon floated above the forest and flew into the distance under the control of Alice.

Soon, the outline of a large town located on the plateau appeared in Populus euphratica's field of vision.

Although he knows the specific location where the movie takes place, there is no place like Poplar Town in the game, so even if he knows, Poplar euphratica doesn't know exactly where it is in the Sinnoh region.

Calculating the timing carefully, the plot of the theatrical version should be happening soon, right?

Populus euphratica looked thoughtfully at the town in the distance.

Alice on the side saw the thoughts revealed in his brows and introduced with a smile: "That's Baiyang Town. Is this your first time here?"

Hu Yang came back to his senses and said: "Yes, this is the first time."

"So." Alice asked with a smile on her face, "Do you need a tour guide? I can take you to visit this beautiful town!"

Hu Yang: “…how much?”

Alice grinned and said: "It's not expensive. It only costs 1,500 alliance coins for seven days! I will help you find a place to live."

One thousand five hundred is indeed not expensive.

Populus euphratica, who is very unfamiliar with Baiyang Town, really needs a tour guide.

After thinking for a moment, Hu Yang agreed and hired the girl in front of him to take him around Baiyang Town.

However, his mind suddenly recalled the girl's ability to calm down Pokémon by playing the grass flute just now.

"That flute sound in the forest just now, was it you who played it?" Hu Yang asked.

Alice nodded and said, "Yes, that song is called Orathion. My grandma taught it to my mother, and then taught it to me. This song has the power to restore Pokémon to peace."

Hu Yang: "..."

Orathion...

Hu Yang remembered. Isn't this Alice the key character in the theatrical version, the girl who blew Orathion to restore peace to Dialga and Palkia?

Alice is a very warm-hearted and kind-hearted person, and she introduced the long history and culture of Baiyang Town to Hu Yang along the way.

"Baiyang Town is different from other towns in the Sinnoh region. The architectural style here is very unique, with cathedrals and courtyards that are difficult to see elsewhere."

"During festivals, people pray and give blessings in the cathedral, and the courtyard is a place for humans and Pokémon to play together."

"Of course, the most important one is the Tower of Time and Space! It was designed by the famous architect Gaudi, and it is said that it can be used as a musical instrument! That building is also called the Tower of Time by the Pokémon League

[The largest musical instrument in the world].”

"But you can't feel this now. I'll take you to see it when you get there!" Alice said enthusiastically.
To be continued...
