"Golbat! Withdraw!"
The voice of Silver came from Smokescreen, followed by a sound of flapping wings.
"Staraptor! Fan these Smokescreen!"
"Muck!"
Staraptor fluttered its wings and flew high. Dual Wingbeat flapped its wings violently, and a strong wind swept past, blowing away the black smoke.
After Smokescreen dispersed, Yushu saw a purple Golbat grabbing Silver's shoulder and flying into the air, fleeing quickly towards the distant dense forest.
"Staraptor, chase!"
Yushu was about to order Pursuit, but was stopped by Professor Elm.
"Forget it, Yushu."
Professor Elm shook his head. "Let him go."
Yushu frowned. "What about Totodile?"
"I know."
Professor Elm looked at Silver's retreating back and sighed softly, "Totodile can't find a suitable trainer here, so why not let him follow this young man."
"Just think of me as a doctor and give Totodile a chance to choose."
Yushu shrugged after listening:
"Okay, then just listen to the doctor."
Since Professor Elm, the real owner, doesn't mind, then there's no need for him, an outsider, to worry.
Besides, catching Silver will not only get you a bounty, but will also cause you a lot of trouble. Mudkip has been firmly in your hands, and the main purpose has been achieved.
Everyone is happy.
Professor Elm showed a grateful smile on his face, "Yushu, I really trouble you today."
"It's okay, it's just a little effort."
Yushu waved his hand:
"But doctor, our institute needs to strengthen security next time. Don't let Thief sneak in again."
"This is natural."
Professor Elm couldn't help but blush, thinking that when he got back, he would give the research institute a major upgrade and install the most advanced alarm device.
He didn't believe that someone could still cause trouble!
At the same time.
Golbat landed on a big tree, Silver leaned against the trunk and gasped for air.
Fortunately, he had a few tricks up his sleeve and almost fell into trouble.
He looked down at the Poké Ball with Totodile in his hand, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
"Totodile, from today on, you are my partner."
Poké Ball shook slightly, as if in response to his words.
Silver Put Poké Ball on your forehead.
"Don't worry, I won't give in just like that."
"Just wait, that guy named Yushu, I will definitely defeat you next time we meet."
The next day, Professor Elm stood at the entrance of the institute, holding a delicate small box in his hand.
"Yushu, this is a little bit of my thoughts, please accept it."
Yushu took the box and opened it.
Inside lies a delicate bell.
The bell is silvery white in color, with delicate patterns engraved on the surface. When shaken gently, it emits a crisp and sweet sound, which seems to reach the depths of the soul.
[Soothe Bell: Pokémon carrying this item will increase intimacy faster.]
Yushu's eyes lit up, what a good thing, this is an artifact to enhance intimacy. For Pokémon who needs intimacy to evolve, it is simply a must-have prop.
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
Yushu said polite words, but his hand movements were honest, and he put the bell directly into his pocket.
Professor Elm The corners of his mouth twitched.
I think you are quite embarrassed.
But he didn't point it out, he just smiled helplessly and shook his head, and began to tell us about the itinerary:
"By the way Yushu, you will pass by Bellsprout Tower on your way to Azalea Town."
"I've heard about this tower. Rumor has it that the support pillars of this tower are derived from a giant Bellsprout. It looks shaky, but in fact it stands firm."
Yushu replied.
This tower is also considered a historic site of Johto Region. It is said that it has a history of hundreds of years and can be called the Leaning Tower of Pisa of the Pokémon world.
Professor Elm reminded, "Yes, but what I want to tell you is, don't conquer Bellsprout like Pokémon around there."
"Um... I probably can't."
Yushu is a little confused.
Bellsprout? Why is it necessary to conquer this thing?
If it doesn't evolve into Victreebel, this Pokémon is the strongest one and is the Indigo Plateau Conference in the original work.
That's the one. If we really fight, Miltank will pass by Rollout.
Professor Elm explained, "That's good, because the monks in that area do not allow anyone other than them to subdue Bellsprout. If they see it, it will be very troublesome, and it will be difficult for Officer Jenny to interfere."
"I understand."
Yushu nodded.
Johto is different from their Sinnoh, there is a lot of long heritage here.
Just like Bellsprout Tower, Slowpoke Well, they have their own rules.
To put it bluntly, it is local protectionism. Bellsprout is a key national protected object here. Whoever touches it will be unlucky.
Farewell to Professor Elm, Yushu turned around and left New Bark Town.
In line with the principle that good things should not be left idle, he took out Soothe Bell, weighed it in his hands, and then called out Kirlia.
"Here, I'll give you a new accessory."
Kirlia tilted his head and looked at the bell in Yushu's hand, his eyes shining with curiosity.
Yushu hung Soothe Bell around Kirlia's neck. The silver bell was particularly conspicuous against the emerald green body.
Jingle bell.
The bell made a crisp sound.
Kirlia looked down at the bell on his chest, then looked up at Yushu, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yushu always feels that after wearing Soothe Bell, the connection between himself and Kirlia seems to be closer.
It's hard to describe the feeling. It's like the originally good WiFi signal suddenly changed from two bars to full bar. The speed of Download soared directly from 2G to 5G.
"As expected of Professor Elm, this fits the character." Yushu nodded with satisfaction.
Professor Elm Although he seems unreliable at ordinary times, he still knows a lot about this kind of thing.
Kirlia shook his body slightly, and the bell made a pleasant sound.
He also likes this new accessory.
"Let's go, next stop, Azalea Town."
On the way, Yushu suddenly discovered a novel thing, that is, Rotom can be integrated with mobile phones.
What was originally an ordinary mobile phone screen has now become an interface full of technology.
A small Rotom avatar appeared in the upper right corner of the phone, winking at Yushu.
[Rotom Phone: A new device integrated with Rotom and a mobile phone, with stronger computing power and more practical functions]
To be honest, Yushu was surprised.
Rotom Phone, which only existed in later generations, was researched in advance by Rotom who tinkered with electrical appliances every day.
However, Yushu researched for a long time and found that his Rotom Phone did not have as powerful functions as those of later generations, such as shape changes, precise map positioning, and those of Pokédex.
It seems to be simply attached to it, which is equivalent to installing a smart assistant on your mobile phone.
But there is one advantage, that is, the signal is stronger.
He can now make videos in the wild.
Yushu thought for a while and dialed a number.
Du--du--du--!
The call was connected.
A beautiful face appeared in the video, with long blond hair, gentle eyebrows and elegant temperament.
It is Sinnoh champion, Cynthia.
"Sister Cabbage, long time no see."
Yushu said with a smile and waved his hand.
"Yushu? Have you arrived at Johto Region?"
Cynthia Seeing the young and lively boy on the screen, an obvious surprise flashed across his eyes.
"That's right!"
Yushu Yushu said, pointing the phone camera at the surrounding scenery.
"We are now near Violet City. We will reach Azalea Town in two days."
This kind of reporting words made Cynthia feel at ease, but then he discovered a new world. "Huh? Can your mobile phone make video calls in the wild? I remember that the signal coverage over Johto is not high."
"Isn't it awesome?"
Yushu said proudly, "This is my exclusive black technology, the product of the integration of Rotom and mobile phones. I call it Rotom Phone."
(Rotom: I obviously invented it myself...)
(Yushu: Whoever says first about this thing gets the final say!)
"Rotom Phone?"
Cynthia became interested. He put his fingertips lightly against his chin and thought seriously, "This is a good idea. I will ask the teacher to study it later."
"That's not okay, this is my patent."
Yushu said jokingly.
"Okay, okay, I won't compete with you."
Cynthia was amused by his appearance and chuckled softly, "Tell me, how are you doing at Johto Region recently?"
As Yushu walked, he chatted with Cynthia about his recent experiences.
Participated in the fishing competition, met Norman, encountered pirates, met the sea god Lugia, and also met Steven and Wallace...
"Your experience is really wonderful."
Cynthia sighed.
It was okay to meet Gym Leader during the competition, but it was okay to meet pirates... barely.
The most important thing is that I met the sea god Lugia.
In addition to the previous Uxie and Mesprit, does this person have any special fate with the mythical beast?
"Ah? Isn't it like this when you go out?"
Yushu looked like it was natural.
"Probably not..."
Cynthia The corners of his mouth twitched.
Anyway, she has never seen any trainer encounter so many mythical beasts when they go out.
She has been traveling for so long, and the most she has heard is that someone has seen Suicune.
The two of them laughed and chatted. Yushu looked ahead. The mountains in the distance were rolling and there were a few white clouds floating in the sky.
"The scenery at Johto Region is quite nice. Compared to the alpine snowfields at Sinnoh, this side has more pastoral scenery."
Cynthia looked at the beautiful scenery in the picture and said softly:
"It is indeed beautiful. After I finish my research, I also want to go to Johto Region."
"Trust me, you won't be disappointed."
The two chatted for a while, and Cynthia also shared all the interesting things that happened recently with Yushu. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
At this moment, Cynthia suddenly exclaimed.
"Be careful!"
Yushu subconsciously looked up, and a black shadow was swooping towards him at an extremely fast speed!
He almost instinctively dodged to the side, and the black shadow passed by him, and the strong wind caused his hair to fly up.
That's a Pidgeot.
Its unfolded Dual Wingbeat is two meters wide, with bright brown feathers and sharp eyes.
If it had been just one second slower, Yushu would have been hit head-on!
"Are you okay?"
Cynthia asked with concern.
"It's okay."
Yushu's heart was still pounding. "Fortunately, I reacted quickly just now, otherwise I would have experienced the feeling of taking off from the same spot."
He doesn't have the strong physique of the trio. If he really takes off, he might have to start over again.
