Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 382: Stepping into the eastern jungle and retracing the journey (55)

So and so, it is three days.

First, there was Naqi's careful guidance, and later, first Ketna, then Lai, formed a quite luxurious lineup together.

Although she is young but very smart, Shafia began to grow up through continuous training. Her originally somewhat eccentric and rough personality was reversed under the influence of Rai and Naqi.

Being strong is not the same as being brutal, nor is it the same as being rough. This is something Lai hopes Shafia can understand early on.

Although he had already made up his mind to completely eliminate the two major scourges of the Lava Fleet and the Water Fleet before Ruby and Saphia started their gambling game, this did not affect his hope that Saphia could embark on a healthier growth path. the road.

Looking at his daughter who is growing up, and seeing the help provided by Rai and others along the way, even though Dr. Odamaki has an open-minded and informal nature, he always writes down a favor and waits to repay it in the future.

Following Route 119 north, you will reach the forest area and a rare mountain peak on the east bank of the river.

At this point, the routes of both parties deviated slightly.

Dr. Odamaki and his party will cross the river from the mountain bridge to the west bank, and then go all the way north to the Weather Research Institute.

Across the river is an area jointly maintained by the mountain people and the forest people. It is difficult for the direct forces of the alliance to intervene. Some areas are also the residences left to the northeastern mountain people after the agreement between the forest people and the mountain people. The land is fertile, pleasant weather.

As for Lai and the others, they want to stay on the east bank of the river and re-take the road Naqi took when she went to the South China Sea. They will follow the peaks, hills, and dense forests on the east bank, passing through multiple settlements, until they reach Yinyu City.

······
On the east side of the ferry bridge, even though it is nearly [-] meters above the water, the sound of the rushing water hitting the rocks is still clearly visible.

"It's really a pity. Several of my old friends should really want to meet you."

Holding Lai's hand, Dr. Odamaki said sincerely that after a few days of getting along, he had a good impression of the young people in front of him.

"There will definitely be an opportunity in the future. When I have enough time, I will definitely come and bother you!"

The hands of the two were clasped together.

"Teacher Naqi, you must come to Weibai Town. I will take you to find delicious tree fruits!"

Shafiya grabbed Naqi's clothes, full of reluctance and expectations for the future.

"You must come. Since you have been studying with your father, in addition to research and field trips, you must also read the textbooks given to you carefully. Do you understand?"

Caressing Safiya's hair, Naqi did not forget to give careful instructions.

"I have to say goodbye after a long journey, Dr. Odamaki, Safiya, and everyone else, please take care of yourself."

Looking at Dr. Odamaki and his entourage walking onto the crossing bridge, the three of them waved goodbye.

Not long after, the figure was already on the other side of the river hundreds of meters away.

"Okay, it's time for us to move on and re-walk the way Naqi went to find me."

Lai turned around and looked at his two companions, his smile dispelling the feeling of separation.

······
The east bank of the river where Route 119 passes, and all the way to both sides of Route 120, are the areas where the people of the forest live.

Over the long years, they have had frictions and cooperation with the alliance, and now they are part of the alliance.

But this attribution is more on a nominal level.

The eastern jungle has the largest number of flying Pokémon in the alliance, and the people of the forest are generally specialized trainers of the flying type.

With Yinyu City as the core, there are nearly a million forest residents in more than a dozen settlements. They are the main source of the alliance's air power and are completely irreplaceable.

Therefore, since joining the alliance decades ago, this area has maintained a high degree of autonomy. Even the leader of the White Feather Gym has always served as the leader of the alliance's official gym, with the authority to supervise the other seven gym leaders. .However, based on the principle of strict neutrality, the leaders of the forest people have never used the coercive power of this power.

Today, the leader of the forest people of this generation is none other than Na Qi's father, Mo Shu, the current owner of the White Feather Gym.

Mo Shu, who seems to have nothing to do with the world and does his job well, also serves as the leader of the alliance's flying force and works hard for the development of the alliance, but in fact he hides his secrets.

When he first took office, he overcame all objections and signed a far-reaching truce agreement with the mountain residents, and jointly established the Weather Research Institute, a scientific research institution covering multiple fields of climate, environment, and outer space exploration.

If the residents of the mountain ranges in the eastern and northern parts of the desert suffer from drought, then the dense forests in the east receive so much rainfall that it affects their lives. Therefore, both sides have needs for improving the climate, but the needs of the forest people are not so urgent.

Now, after many years of recuperation, although some mountain bandits will plunder along Route 119 whenever they encounter difficulties, and they do not distinguish between mountain people and forest people, the relationship between the two parties and the strength of the forest people are all. has been significantly improved.

It is against this background that Mo Shu has a very high prestige among the people of the forest, and his daughter Naqi is also highly respected.

After several battles against bandits, Naqi, whose talent, strength and ability were impeccable, was naturally regarded by everyone as the next undisputed leader of the forest people.

······
Walking down the east side of the mountain peak, there is a settlement of the people of the forest called Congye Town.

A year ago, on the way south, Naqi once stopped here and was quite familiar with the environment here.

Similar to the situation in Yinyu City, most of the buildings here are built on the thick and tall trees of the dense forest, either dug on the trunks or wooden buildings built on flat areas.

There are two roads left on the ground and high, connecting the entire city.

Along the way, most of the residents could recognize Naqi's appearance and greeted her warmly.

Looking at the familiar scenes and familiar compatriots, Naqi felt a lot of emotion.

After a year away from home, her hometown has not changed much, but she herself has grown to a height that was originally unimaginable.

Feeling the unrest in his girlfriend's heart, Lai silently took her shoulders so that she could rely on something.

Cortna silently took a few steps back, giving a little distance, looking a little disgusted, and kicked a stone away from her feet.

Because it was the morning, there were not too many people in the town. Most of the residents were working in the woods or fields. Those who stayed in the town were mainly old and young.

A group of children in simple clothes were playing on the street. The older ones were studying in one of the few relatively decent houses in the town. Walking on the street, you could vaguely hear the sound of reading.

In terms of content, it contains some common knowledge unique to the dense forest, as well as some content from the textbooks that were mailed to Yinyu City earlier.

Listening to the familiar content, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Following the main road of the town and walking through the squarely structured town, Naqi chatted with the townspeople who took the initiative to say hello from time to time. It took her a long time to get out of the town.

When the buildings behind you disappear from sight, the vast dense forest and wild nature once again become the main body of this space.

A few townspeople were vaguely visible, cutting wood or gathering with the cooperation of their Pokémon partners. Lai and the others did not disturb them, but quietly walked around under the guidance of the power of the heart, trying not to disturb others. Heading north.

Going a little further, you can see trainers who are out practicing from time to time. In such a fertile and competitive environment, although they are not necessarily very strong, most of them are in a high-spirited state of mind.

"After seeing our town, what do you think?"

Cortna was already far behind her, and the residents of the town could no longer be found around her. Naqi turned her head and looked at Lai.
