I got the Pokémon

Chapter 973 Gathering together, the taste of the theater version

The three of them walked on the plateau towards Tianguan Mountain.

Under their feet was a convenient path made by travelers. The path was not wide, only about one meter, but it was enough. Perhaps because they walked a lot, compared to the lush green grasslands on both sides, there were only a few weeds growing on this path occasionally, and the rest were trampled flat.

Just at this moment, a shadow passed by their feet. Before the three of them looked up to see what the shadow was, they suddenly heard someone shouting something at them.

And this voice...

Xiaoyao turned to look at Xia You, puzzled: "Brother Xia You, why does this voice sound familiar? Do you think I have some kind of altitude sickness and am hallucinating?"

"You think too much." Shaking his head in amusement, Xia You sighed, "When encountering such a situation, it can only mean one thing."

Although he didn't finish his words, Xiaoyao had already guessed it. She couldn't help but grin and force a smile: "It can't be such a coincidence... I can't run into them everywhere I go, right?"

The two looked up at the sky, and saw a hot air balloon slowly floating behind them under the blue sky. Because the altitude was not very high, the two could easily see in the hanging basket below, a boy wearing a red baseball cap with a Pikachu sitting on his shoulder, waving at them.

Isn't it Xiaozhi!

"Brother Xia You!! Xiao Yao!!"

Xiaozhi's voice also echoed at this moment. I can only say that it is so recognizable!

Xia You and Xiao Yao looked at each other, shook their heads and chuckled.

It's really him.

The three of them stood still, watching the hot air balloon landing in front of them. Before it stopped, when it was still one meter above the ground, Xiaozhi, Xiaogang and Xiaoguang jumped out of the basket one after another and landed in front of them with agility.

Xia You clapped his hands: "This appearance was great, coming down from the sky, plus the handsome somersault just now, it really surprised me."

Xiaozhi chuckled, and Xiaoguang and Xiaogang also greeted Xia You and Xiaoyao at this time.

Just as his eyes shifted away from Xiaoyao, Xiaogang naturally saw Yami standing beside him. The next second, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Who is this beauty!?"

Almost in the blink of an eye, he flashed in front of Yami, his eyes were full of hearts, as if he had changed his face, and said to Yami excitedly: "My name is Xiaogang, currently single, I haven't asked for your name yet..."

Before he could finish his words, a blue shadow that was faster than him flashed by, and a bad frog also flashed to Xiaogang's side. Then, a strange purple light flashed from the frog's paw, and it hit Xiaogang's lower back hard.

But apparently someone is faster than it.

While Xiaogang was talking, his hands were not keeping quiet and he wanted to touch Yami's hand, but Yami just turned around lightly and not only avoided Xiaogang's dirty hands, but also knocked him to the ground, causing Xiaogang to fall.

The bad frog's frog palm stopped in mid-air, and the attacking movement froze there for a moment. He lowered his head to look at Xiaogang who had fallen down, his cheeks puffed up, and then turned to look at Yami who seemed nothing had happened. A drop of cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and he silently put down his frog palm.

Seeing this scene, everyone found it hilarious.

I never thought that Xiaogang, who is as brave as a pervert and falls in love with every girl he meets, would actually fail during the introduction stage. It is really rare!

"Hello, I'm Yami, and I'm currently traveling with Mr. Xia You and Miss Xiao Yao."

"Hello, I'm Xiaozhi."

"I'm Xiaoguang!"

After greeting each other, Xiaozhi took his gaze away from Yami and looked at Xia You and Xiao Yao.

"How come you are here?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you." Xia You also looked at him, "Why are you here? At this time...shouldn't we go challenge the EMI Gym?"

"I've already finished the EMI Gym." Xiaozhi waved his hand, "We're on our way to the next place now!"

Frowning, Xia You asked curiously, "Your next destination should be Veil City, right? Since you have to cross Tianguan Mountain, I remember there is also a road near Baidai City. Why did you come here?"

After the words were spoken, Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang both looked embarrassed.

“Um…” Xiao Guang was still a little more shy and said embarrassedly, “Actually, we read the map wrong and got lost…that’s why we ended up here…”

Can I get lost and end up near Black Gold City?

This is completely two directions! !

Perhaps noticing that Xia You and Xiaoyao had strange expressions, Xiaoguang guessed what they were thinking. He felt embarrassed and was about to say something else when he inadvertently glanced and noticed Xiaoyao's wrist.

She remembered that there was nothing there originally, but now... there was a pink Pokéwatch!
"Eh? Xiaoyao, did you buy a Pokéwatch too? The color is so pretty! I have to say, pink really suits you!"

Somehow, Xiaoyao's ears turned red. She secretly glanced at Xia You, then nodded to Xiaoguang: "It's very beautiful, I like it too."

Ignoring the conversation between the two girls, Xia You's attention was now focused on a woman in the hot air balloon basket.

This hot air balloon certainly couldn't belong to Xiaozhi and his companions. It was obvious that someone was kind enough to bring them here.

And this woman should be the owner of this hot air balloon.

She had blonde hair, smooth on top and fluffy and curly on the bottom, and a pretty baby face. However, because of her delicate makeup, Xia You couldn't tell her age at all. She looked like she was twenty-three or twenty-four, but also like twenty-seven or twenty-eight. She was wearing a red V-neck sweater and black trousers. Next to her, there was a little flame monkey hanging on a pillar. It must be her Pokémon.

"Who is this?"

Seeing Xia You looking at her, the woman waved and greeted him with a smile on her face before Xiao Zhi could introduce himself.

"Hi, hello, I'm Alice, are you Xiaozhi's friends?"

Alice...

The same name really easily reminds people of someone in the Unova region...

It seems that this name is really common in this world.

However, compared with the dignified and steady-looking blonde woman in front of him, Alice from the Unova region can be said to be two completely different types.

As the thought flashed through her mind, Xia You and the other two nodded to her in a friendly manner and introduced their names.

At this time, Xiaozhi rubbed his fingers under his nose and laughed, "We just met Alice, and he is going to take us to the Poplar Town ahead!"

Before Xia You could say anything, Alice asked, "Where is your destination? If it's also Baiyang Town, I can give you a ride!"

"This..." Xia You hesitated for a moment, "...Isn't this a bit bad?"

"It's okay, come on up!" Ellie smiled nonchalantly, "Although I majored in music, I also work as a tour guide in my spare time. Since this is your first time here, I can introduce this beautiful town to you!"

The guide that Alice mentioned is completely different from the profession of "tour guide". It is more like a public welfare, responsible for helping those who are lost and guiding them to Baiyang Town, just like what she is doing now.

Since the other party said so, Xia You looked at his two companions and stopped being polite. He climbed into the hot air balloon basket with Xiaozhi and the others.

I have to say that the basket of this hot air balloon is not very big, and with the three of us adding in, it already seems a little crowded.

But fortunately, it does not hinder flying.

"Hold on tight, we're about to take off."

At Alice's command, her little flame monkey spit flames upward, and driven by the hot air, the hot air balloon flew off the ground and slowly flew into the sky. It must be said that compared to riding a flying Pokémon, this slow and leisurely way is really novel.

In just a few minutes, as the hot air balloon continued to rise in altitude, the ground beneath our feet became clearly visible. Within the field of vision, the wild Pokémon were like ants, and even the big trees and rivers became smaller and farther away.

This also made Xia You feel infinite emotion.

In this situation, Xiaozhi was able to see and recognize himself at a glance. What a good eyesight!
He is worthy of being the man of the new town!

Looking up, I saw that at the end of my sight, the river water was getting more and more, and finally formed two wide rivers. At the confluence of the two rivers, surrounded by mountains, a huge towering island stood in the river.

On the high ground between the island and the other side of the island is a very prosperous town.

The island and the highland are connected by a huge stone bridge, which is also the only entrance and exit of the island. Under the sunlight, the same ochre tiles reflect a faint golden light, and in the golden light, a tall tower is very eye-catching!
There was no need for Alice to introduce it, everyone knew that it was Baiyang Town!

And that tall tower must be the Tower of Time and Space!

However, even though we can see it with our eyes, it will undoubtedly take a long time to fly there at the speed of the hot air balloon.

But they were lucky to have taken a hot air balloon ride. If they had walked, it would have taken them much longer. Even the two large rivers in front of them would have been an insurmountable obstacle, and they would have had to take a longer detour to reach Baiyang Town.

But now, with the hot air balloon floating in the air, all problems are no longer problems, it is just a matter of time.

In their ears, Alice also talked about the history of this town and the local customs and culture here. Xia You and the others listened and nodded in agreement from time to time.

At a certain moment, she suddenly mentioned something: "From the looks of you, you should all be trainers and coordinator trainers, right? That's just right, Poplar Town will be holding a gorgeous convention in the next few days, you can just participate!"

A magnificent event! ?
Hearing this, Xiaoguang and Xiaoyao were naturally delighted, but soon, Xiaoyao's expression became depressed again.

Noticing her abnormality, Xia You only took a glance and knew what was going on.

Xiaoyao's mind is undoubtedly more delicate than Xiaoguang's. She is certainly happy that the gorgeous conference is being held, but if she and Xiaoguang both participate in the competition, no matter what round they reach, one of them will be eliminated. This makes her, who has become friends with Xiaoguang, a little unsure of what to do.

Xiaoguang was a little slower than Xiaoyao to notice this, but after she saw Xiaoyao's expression clearly, she also realized it. For a moment, both of them fell silent with complicated expressions.

However, Xia You should not interfere in the friendship and bond between these girls, so let them handle it themselves.

He also believed that both of them were very intelligent people with good personalities, so this kind of thing could definitely be handled well.

Alice didn't notice what the two girls were thinking, but at this moment, she took out a leaf and blew it to her mouth.

In an instant, soft and beautiful music came out from her mouth and the leaves and spread far away, attracting not only the attention of the two girls, but also a few large-billed gulls in the distance, which approached the hot air balloon after hearing the sound and flew with it.

"Is this... a grass flute?"

This so-called Grass Flute, of course, does not refer to the move in Grass-type Pokémon that puts the target to sleep, but rather a way of playing beautiful music through leaves. In fact, any leaf can become a Grass Flute as long as it is suitable.

Compared to instruments like the ocarina and harmonica, a grass flute only requires a fresh leaf. Although it looks simple, it takes a long time of practice to blow the leaf. Therefore, although the few people had heard of grass flutes, this was the first time they saw one with their own eyes.

Listening to music, feeling the breeze, and watching the hot air balloon slowly move forward, one can feel extremely relaxed.

Whether it was Xia You, Xiao Zhi, or anyone else, people stopped talking and just looked ahead, thinking quietly about their own thoughts.

It didn't take long. After the song was over, Alice put down the leaves in her hand and smiled at the others, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"No way..." Xia You shook her head, "As expected of a music student, a simple leaf can produce such a beautiful sound. It's really eye-opening."

Alice smiled even more happily: "In fact, I play music not only for fun, but also to judge the direction of the wind through the transmission of sound. It is also a unique way for me to fly a hot air balloon!"

"Eh?" Xiaozhi said, not quite understanding, "That's really amazing..."

As they were talking, the hot air balloon was getting closer and closer to Baiyang Town. When it reached above the town, it did not stop, but continued to float towards the highest tower of time and space.

It was at this moment that Xia You and his group truly saw this landmark building with its artistic style!

Unlike the model in the museum, what appeared before Xia You and his companions was a giant building built on a square in the front and surrounded by lush green forests in the back. Two different harp-like towers reached the sky, reaching an astonishing height of more than fifty floors!
Its unique shape also attracted countless tourists to the square, who took photos to commemorate the occasion.

Knowing that it was the first time for everyone to come here, Alice recounted the origin of the Tower of Time and Space. But what she didn't know was that Xia You and the other two had already known about this in advance. Only Xiaozhi and the other two were hearing about the origin of the Tower of Time and Space for the first time.

Xiaozhi and the other two were naturally moved by this building. Even Xiaoguang, who was a native of Sinnoh, was hearing about this place for the first time and was inevitably surprised.

Just at this moment, a strong airflow blew and hit the hot air balloon.

Affected by this airflow, the entire hot air balloon shook violently, and the people standing in the basket naturally swayed along with the basket.

“Hold on tight!!”

Alice only had time to scream before she fell headfirst into the hanging basket. Apart from her, the others were also caught off guard and also fell down.

Xia You was the first to stand firm.

With the help of his strong legs, he stood still after just a stumble, and grabbed the vertical railings on both sides with both hands to prevent himself from falling backwards.

Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang, who were closest to him, were petite and the lightest, so they were nearly shaken away. Fortunately, at the moment they bounced up, each of them grabbed one of Xia You's arms and held on to it tightly as if it were a life-saving straw, and finally they were able to calm down.

A little further out is the sprout rice.

As the person standing in the middle of the hanging basket, the dazed Ya Mi had nothing to hold on to. When the wind blew, she was caught off guard and fell into the hanging basket just like Alice.

With the constant shaking, she tried several times but failed to get up. In order to avoid being stepped on by others, she could only reach forward in panic and try to grab something.

You know what, she was really lucky, and she actually caught a strange stick!

It was strange because the stick was blocked behind some cloth, making it difficult to grab. But in a panic, she still managed to grab it!
At first, the stick was a little soft, but as soon as it was grabbed, it became extremely hard!
This also allowed her to get up and climb out of the hanging basket.

But this time, Xia You suffered a lot.

What is Yami catching?
Of course it’s his clone!

When he was grabbed like this, he was startled at first, but when he realized that it was Yami's hand, he was stimulated and his clone raised his head uncontrollably. The powerful force also helped Yami stand up from the fall.

Shocked and surprised, Xia You wanted to reach out and help Ya Mi up directly to prevent his clone from suffering such "torture".

But at this moment, his hands were tied tightly by Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang, and he couldn't pull them out at all. He could only helplessly let Yami hold them like this.

It seems like he is surrounded by girls on both sides, and there is another one in front, but he is really suffering!

Fortunately, he also knew that Yami was doing it subconsciously, or maybe she didn't even realize what she was holding, so it was an unintentional act. Therefore, he opened his mouth, but didn't know how to say it to remind her.

Finally, it was the dazed Ya Mi who let go of the "stick" herself, allowing Xia You to breathe a sigh of relief.

Luckily no one noticed...

Strong winds come quickly and go away quickly.

But within twenty seconds, everything calmed down completely.

When the hot air balloon stopped shaking, Alice finally got up and turned to look at the people around her: "Is everyone okay?"
