Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

After a brief rest and confirmation that everyone was present, everyone was ready to set off.

The Bamboo Forest Mountain area is located on Melemele Island, which is located northwest of Ula'ula Island. The patron saint of Melemele Island is Tapu Kokoro. To the southwest of the island is the largest city in the Alola region, Haole City. To the southeast is the Melemele Sea, with a dead volcano on the seashore. The northeast of the island is a high mountainous area, and at the bottom of the mountain is Karawei Bay, which was selected as one of the top 100 scenic spots in Alola.

Unlike the island god Tapu Moo of Ula'ula Island, who is a lazy dog ​​and just sleeps all day, Tapu Kokoro is a hot-tempered guy who patrols back and forth on the island every day at his extremely fast speed. The people he chooses are like Dr. Kukui, who are decisive, have strong execution ability and are hardworking.

Perhaps Wu Song will also get his recognition.

Zhulin Mountain is located in the northeast. If you want to get there, you have to take public transportation.

The members of the Aether Foundation either released their own mount Pokémon, but Jiang Cheng had no mount, so he could only ride on her Charizard with big sister Lisa.

"Everyone, please be patient in the ball for a while."

Jiang Cheng put the elves back into the ball and slowly climbed onto the back of Charizard.

Charizard is not particularly large in size. Just like Garchomp, Charizard as a mount Pokémon is generally around 3-4 meters tall, which is completely different from the 1.7m stated by the official. Therefore, there is no problem in carrying two people. It's just that the driving area will appear a little cramped.

Just like now, Jiang Cheng, with two huge strawberry balls pressing against his back, is sitting upright, looking ahead with a tense face.

"Why, haven't you been flying in the sky on Garchomp every day recently? That should be much more exciting than Charizard, right? Why are you suddenly nervous this time?"

Lisa's question came from behind her ear with hot air blowing into her ear, making Jiang Cheng even more nervous.

"I... This is my first time participating in a Pokémon rescue event. I have no experience, so I'm very nervous."

He really didn't dare to say why he was nervous. Maybe Jiang Cheng was an old man in the past, but now, he was 14 years old, and it was the age when he woke up in the morning and felt that the road ahead was as hard as iron. Do you understand how angry young men are? You use this to test cadres? Jiang Cheng felt that if he didn't use his mind to control himself, he was afraid that the gold list would be raised high.

But the source of his nervousness didn't realize this and laughed: "Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, it's all like this the first time, it will be fine after that!"

"Ahaha... I hope so." There is indeed something wrong with what you said, but why does it sound so weird to me?

Alas, I am not a real 14-year-old boy after all...

It took an hour to travel, and everyone landed in front of the bamboo forest. The leader immediately began to organize the action: "Everyone, get ready. We will survey this area immediately. First, find the wild Pokémon here and conduct field identification to determine the status of these Pokémon. If we encounter any that need rescue, we will capture them. In addition, I received news that they have seen traces of the Skeleton Team's activities in this area before. The Skeleton Team is also our old rival. The places where they are active are either to capture Pokémon or to rob resources. The situation here must be not optimistic. In short, everyone must be more careful."

"Roger that!"

The team members immediately dispersed and began to survey the surroundings. Jiang Cheng watched the activities of these team members with great interest. It was the first time for him to see how his counterparts in the Pokémon world worked. It felt like he was learning from others.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Jiang Cheng quickly released the elves. As soon as Flutterfa came out, he began to stretch his body. Obviously, he didn't like the environment in the ball. The same was true for Erguiyan. As soon as he came out of the ball, he came to Jiang Cheng.

"Send it!"

"Hmm? Flutter felt that you were flying too slowly just now?" When in the Poké Ball, the Pokémon will also have an understanding of the external environment. The Pokémon can see everything that happens in the outside world through the Poké Ball. Otherwise, if you fight right after the Poké Ball comes out, you will be thrown into the battle without knowing the situation and will be beaten without saying a word.

"Fa!" Zhenyifa nodded. He was far inferior to Liebite Lu Shark!

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh. This kid was used to driving a racing car, and suddenly she was asked to sit in an ordinary car and she even started to dislike it.

"Does Flutter Hair like to fly at high speeds?"

"Yes!" Of course!

The wing-flapping speed is as high as 135 points. Basically, except for Iron Baggage, no Pokémon can currently cross this speed line. High speed means high nerve reflex, and it is indeed difficult to withstand slow flight.

"Then let's work hard to find a mount that's particularly fast, okay?"

"Send it!" Okay!

While Jiang Cheng was chatting with Zhen Yifa and watching these people work, his once dead memories began to slowly revive. The climate and geographical environment of the Alola region are quite special. There are snow-capped mountains, deserts, mountains, volcanoes, mangroves, and rainforests. Although small, it has everything. It is also very fertile, so fertile that fruits are everywhere.

Alola is extremely suitable for the growth of fruit trees. Fruit trees that are difficult to survive in other places can be grown in Alola just by planting them on the roadside. They will grow and bear fruit when they grow up. Each fruit has a thin skin, a large filling and plenty of juice.

But why did we have to come all the way to the bamboo forest and mountain area?

Bamboo Forest Mountain Area...Bamboo Forest Mountain Area...This place seems familiar. I seem to have seen this name before, but because I had too many things to remember, my brain deleted the unnecessary memory files, resulting in me not being able to remember it when it came to my mind.

The Ether Foundation came here with more than just one purpose, which was to rescue the elves here.

It is true that they are doing rescue work, and it is also true that the Skeleton Team is operating here, but, at the same time, there is another purpose that only a few members, such as the leader and Lisa, know.

They came here for the Ultimate Beast.

The energy of the Ultra Beasts has been detected in the Bamboo Forest Mountain Area. In addition to rescuing Pokémon, their purpose of this operation is also to find and capture the Ultra Beasts and send them back to their original world.

The research on the Ultimate Beasts has always been a confidential project of the Aether Foundation, and only core members know the relevant information. As for such a large operation, why would they bring an outsider like Jiang Cheng along?

In fact, it was because of the Aether Foundation's strong confidentiality ability that basically no one in the Alola region knew about the Ultra Beasts. In their view, Jiang Cheng, a Donghuang person who had just arrived in Alola, was even less likely to know some of the secrets of Alola. He had no channels to learn about the Ultra Beasts at all. Even if he saw one, he would only treat it as a relatively novel Pokémon.

After all, the other party already had two brand new Pokémon around him, which had made Ms. Lusamine jealous for a long time.

Chapter 133: New Mask!

During field surveys, most of the time, you will basically not see any wild animals.

Most wild animals are sensitive and timid. In fact, humans often misjudge themselves, thinking that they are very weak in the jungle and that anything can take their lives.

In fact, an adult, regardless of gender, who is 170 cm tall and weighs 50 kg, is definitely a large animal, especially since humans stand on two feet, which makes their body size even larger visually. When wild animals see such a big thing that they have never seen before, they will definitely avoid it.

Some small animals that cannot run will use their environmental camouflage and pray that you can't see them. This is when your knowledge, experience and observation skills will be tested.

There was no specific goal for this trip to Zhulin Mountain, so Jiang Cheng began to follow these people.

One advantage of the Pokémon world over the natural world is that these Pokémon are easy to find, and most of them are curious and not particularly wary of humans. In the woods, Jiang Cheng saw quite a few traces of Pokémon.

In fact, if you look carefully, you can see signs of Pokémon activities everywhere in the forest.

For example, the animal trails in the mountains and forests are traces of large Pokémon passing by.

For example, the singing of birds in the forest and the silk of insects among the trees.

It flapped its wings and flew through the woods, sometimes falling behind Jiang Cheng, sometimes beside Jiang Cheng, and then quickly overtaking him. When the distance was far, it would stop and wait for Jiang Cheng to catch up.

Jiang Cheng squatted down and found a small hole.

It might have been dug by some kind of rat Pokémon. The entrance to the cave was very new, and it was obvious that the owner of the cave often renovated it. This kind of cave would generally house a large family. Jiang Cheng measured the diameter of the entrance with his hand and had a rough idea in his mind.

"It's little Rada's hole..." Lisa's voice came to his ears. Jiang Cheng turned sideways and forced his eyes away so that he wouldn't pay attention to the overly conspicuous area: "And judging from the size of the hole, there shouldn't be Rada inside."

"Sure, little brother." Lisa looked at Jiang Cheng with some surprise: "You look so white and tender, and you look like you've never been out of the house. You're surprisingly knowledgeable about the outdoors."

What adjective is white and tender?

Jiang Cheng was speechless for a moment, but when he looked around, he saw that everyone's skin color was tanned by being outdoors in the sun for a long time. The only people with fair skin like Jiang Cheng were Aserola, Liliae, and Mamane, who stayed indoors for a long time.

"I just read some related books." Jiang Cheng didn't want to explain too much, so he found an excuse and immediately changed the subject: "There seem to be quite a lot of Ladas here. Does the foundation have any management measures?"

“No need to manage”

Lisa answered easily, pulling Jiang Cheng to squat next to a plant: "Come, look at this"

Jiang Cheng squatted down and ran his hand over the serrated leaves of the plant: "Is this... hair?"

"This is the hair of the mongoose. With it, we don't have to worry about the little Rattata in this area."

So that's how it is, Jiang Cheng suddenly realized.

There is an ecological predator-prey relationship between Pokémon. For example, there is a clear natural enemy relationship between insect Pokémon such as Caterpillar and Hornet and Pidgeot. Before Alola, the only clear natural enemy of Rattata was Snake, but Snake was obviously unable to cope with the huge number of Rattata. After seven generations, the Shrews welcomed their own father - the Mongoose family.

Mongoose is a Weasel Pokémon. Its action mode is characterized by high energy consumption, high mobility and itinerant hunting. It needs to travel long distances every day to hunt. A Mongoose can control a large area, and its slender body can also support it to drill directly into the holes of Rattata to hunt. Its huge appetite makes it extremely efficient in hunting rats.

There was some mongoose hair nearby, and it seemed that the owner of this cave was in danger.

It turns out that this trip really broadens my horizons.

"Boni?" Ergui came closer and looked at the hair in Jiang Cheng's hand with clear eyes.

"Ergui, this is the hair of the mongoose."

"Boni~" Mongoose boy~

"It's a very small Pokémon with a somewhat fierce personality."

"Boni!" Hearing the fierce voice, Ergui raised his arms and posed to show his muscles, indicating that he could protect Jiang Cheng.

"Then I'll ask Erkuei to protect me. Oh, by the way, I have something to give you."

Jiang Cheng took out a red and white mask from his arms. It was very different from the original appearance of the stove mask. It had hard lines, sharp edges, red and white, and a golden crown standing high. It was clearly a mecha.

How could Jiang Cheng let go of the opportunity to DIY a mask? Naturally, he DIYed one for himself.

The cute little Peng Peng is equipped with a mecha mask, satisfying a man’s two major hobbies at once!

"Boni?" Erguiyan looked at the mask in his hand. Why was it different from the one he had brought back before?

"This is the mask I made for you," Jiang Cheng said with a smile. "The image of the mask is the hero in my hometown, who is called the Light Messenger."

"Boni" Erguirong took it and looked at the mask over and over again. The original titanium crystal on the mask was replaced with the mecha's eyes, forehead, and the area above the eyebrows. The pattern was red, white, and gold, and there was an easter egg in it.

[Personalized customization effect: The exclusive move of Ergui Yan, the Thorn Vine Stick, will be replaced with the Ruyi Sword style, and the skill value remains unchanged]

"Ergui has left that place and should have a new life and a new identity. With this mask on, Ergui will no longer be the evil ghost of Kitakami Township, but a hero who can protect me."

"Boni..." Erguiyan held the mask and stared at Jiang Cheng blankly, with a faint gleam of water in his eyes.

"My safety is entirely in your hands!"

"Boni-ao!"

"Send it!"

"Ah... Of course there is also Flutter Wing Fat! How could I forget the wise and powerful Flutter Wing Fat-sama? Oh, it's because Flutter Wing Fat-sama is so strong that I feel safe just standing by his side, without any worries of danger."

"Fa ah" Zhen Yifa turned his head and put on an expression that it was not so bad. Jiang Cheng couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat.

My goodness, how come raising a Pokémon has turned into a Shura field for yourself?

Next to him, Lisa watched the interaction between Jiang Cheng and his Pokémon with a smile.

"What a great relationship..."

Chapter 134: The hidden clues

"The Rocket Team from Kitakami Township?" Looking at the mission brief handed to her, Shirona tilted her head.

Shouldn't the Alliance send someone to investigate this? At the very least, Qinglu should be responsible, so why did it fall into his hands?

There's something fishy about the whole thing.

However, Shirona was only slightly confused for a moment, and continued to read the mission instructions at a glance. When she saw that the other party was carrying an extremely powerful Land Shark, she raised her eyebrows.

"No wonder it fell into my hands... Now it makes sense." Putting the task brief aside, Shirona stretched out her body, and her well-proportioned and powerful body formed a graceful curve.

Land Shark

"Gaao?" Garchomp, who was taking a lazily nap on the carpet in the middle of the living room, slowly raised his head, curious about the reason why his trainer called him.

"The latest news is that a member of Team Rocket brought a very powerful Garchomp to do evil in Kitakami Township. The opponent fought one against three and knocked down all the legendary three treasures to the ground."

"Someone is going to have a challenger~"

Garchomp dropped his head back onto the carpet, showing no interest at all.

Challengers, the thing he has the most is challengers. As the main elf of the Profound Champion, he has experienced countless battles and has faced countless challengers, including many Tyrannosaurus that claim to be as powerful as himself.

However, after all the waves have washed away, I am the only one standing. Garchomp's strength has been proven after going through the test of time and battles. It is not because she is strong under the hands of the esoteric champion Shirona, but because of her strength, Shirona is the Sinnoh champion.

"Oh, cheer up, think positively, we can go out traveling again!"

"Gaao?" When he heard about going out for a trip, Lu Shark was no longer sleepy and raised his head again.

"Look, it will take some time to fly to Beishang Township for investigation, and it will take some time to look for clues after the investigation. With this mission, we should be able to stay outside for quite a while. Maybe we can also study the local myths and legends on the way. I am also very interested in the myths and legends of Beishang Township..."

Girona is a very dedicated champion. She is powerful, charming and capable, but one thing that cannot be denied is that this champion is a little...disappointing.

While she is the Sinnoh Champion, she is also a Mythology Scholar.

In real life, mythologists may sound unreliable, as if they are studying rope skipping, but in the Pokémon world it is completely different, because they really have gods.

When gods really do exist, the subject of god research changes from a philosophical idealism course to a materialistic subject. Finding knowledge related to gods may very likely save the future of a region.

People are like their pets. Since Takenori has given up, her partner will naturally not be a home-loving type. Tyrannosaurus is a Pokémon that loves to go out for a drive. He will get lazy and feel uncomfortable if he stays at home.

"Okay, wait for me to make a call and then we'll set off."

"Gah!" Land Shark had already climbed up from the carpet, full of energy and ready to take action.

The world is conserved. When some people are enjoying a peaceful life, there are people who carry the heavy burden forward. When some people are free from the noise of music, there are people who are busy with paperwork. The affairs of a region will not decrease, and when the champion can leave at will, it means that someone has silently taken on it all, and that person is the Sinnoh region's Psychic-type gym leader, Gomatsu.

Some people noticed the affairs of Beishang Township, while on the other hand, some people noticed something else.
