Chapter 262 A Plaything to Be Played With at Will

Haoyan sat on the plane bound for the Sinnoh region, looking down from the sky through the window.

Through the thin layer of clouds, one can see the deep blue ocean beneath.

Looking down from above, the vast ocean is like a mirror, reflecting the azure sky.

The Sinnoh region is located northeast of the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn regions.

The Sinnoh region is not a peninsula, but a large island.

Like the Hoenn region, there is a famous Mt. Cenotaph.

Mt. Tenkan extends north and south, dividing the Sinnoh region into the east and west.

This time, Haoyan chose to travel to the Sinnoh region primarily because it is relatively close to the Hoenn region.

Secondly, the Sinnoh region is the location for this year's Attribute Specialist Tournament.

When the time comes, just participate directly.

No need to run around.

... ...

The plane landed smoothly, and Hao Yan set foot in Canal City in the Sinnoh region.

The city of Canal Street is similar to the city of Slateport in the Hoenn region; both are seaports with beautiful beaches.

After getting off the plane, Haoyan wandered around the beach in Watermai City, not in a hurry to check into the hotel.

Anyway, it's not peak tourist season now, so hotel rooms aren't hard to book.

More importantly, he is rich.

If the regular rooms are fully booked, then we can just choose the expensive presidential suite, it doesn't matter.

Haoyan is now the gym leader of Slateport Gym, and recently he captured Team Aqua members Drip and Tide.

The league awarded $1500 million in bonuses.

Now that you have money, you should treat yourself better.

Walking on the beach in Seminyak, you'll see many tourists enjoying sunbathing.

The temperature in the Sinnoh region is generally a few degrees colder than that in the Hoenn region.

There is relatively less sunshine.

People in the Sinnoh region have lighter skin.

To keep warm, the bridge of the nose is also relatively high.

However, because it is colder and drier, the skin is less tender compared to the Hoenn region.

Overall, the women of the Sinnoh region are more in line with Hirohime's aesthetic preferences.

After all, fair skin can cover up many flaws.

Her fair skin is already a highlight.

Perhaps because it is relatively difficult to see the sun, people in the Sinnoh region are very keen on sunbathing.

The beach was filled with eye-catching beauties in swimsuits.

She lay back on the beach chair with her long legs, put on her sunglasses, and comfortably enjoyed a sunbath.

In contrast, the men in the Sinnoh region appear rather rough.

Perhaps due to the need for warmth, men in the Sinnoh region tend to have more body hair.

It has a rugged, primitive feel to it.

These tourists were accompanied by several Pokémon unique to the Sinnoh region.

The starter Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, such as Torkoal, Chimchar, and Piplup, are frequently seen.

As we slowly walked along the coastline, we gradually moved away from the city.

... ...

"Waaah~"

As Haoyan walked along the coastline, he heard a hissing sound coming from afar, the sound carrying a clear sense of pain.

The sound was very far away. If it weren't for Haoyan's extraordinary hearing and the help of waveguide power, an ordinary person really wouldn't have been able to hear it.

With that in mind, Haoyan walked toward the source of the sound.

... ...

A large, blue-skinned aquatic Pokémon lies on the beach.

His fore and hind limbs are like oars.

Its slender neck stretched forward, then drooped weakly; its eyes were tightly closed, and it kept groaning in pain.

The Pokémon that made that painful groan was Lapras.

"Come on, why aren't you moving!"

"Get out of here!" A young man in a blue striped shirt stomped hard on the dragon's forelimbs.

"Waaah~"

The dragon let out a painful cry.

"let me!"

Another guy with an afro found a thick tree branch and, with a ferocious expression, smashed it down on Lapras's head.

This heavy blow caused Chenglong immense pain, and the groans of agony he let out became increasingly shrill.

The shirtless youth who had been sitting on the dragon's back kicked the dragon's neck hard when he saw this.

He yelled, "This is so boring! This piece of trash can't even move!"

"By the way, boss, you said this piece of trash has such a thick shell."

"How about we find a power drill, drill open its shell, and see what's inside?" the young man with the afro said with a cruel smile.

"Haha, this is fun!"

"Is this called vivisection?"

"How about we become PhDs for research? Hahahaha!" The shirtless youth burst into laughter upon hearing this.

The other two immediately became interested upon hearing this.

"The boss is right!"

"Let's be PhDs for once and perform live dissections!"

"Look at this piece of junk, see what's inside its shell!"

The three young men had contorted, numb expressions on their faces.

It was as if the Pokémon beneath their feet weren't living beings, but rather experimental subjects they could slaughter at will.

In this world, some people love Pokémon, while others hate them.

People who hate Pokémon are definitely a minority.

Most people love Pokémon.

Even if you don't love it, you will maintain a peaceful state of mind.

At least, they won't hate you, and they certainly won't abuse you!

Just like the Blue Star in Haoyan's previous life, there are some scumbags who enjoy abusing cats and dogs.

They even became addicted to torture.

This world also has its share of scum!

I enjoy torturing Pokémon!

They wouldn't even care if they beat a Pokémon to death!

Because, in their eyes, Pokémon are nothing more than toys that can be played with at will!

Chapter 263 The Wounded Dragon

Dragons possess both ice and water attributes, making them the best companions for sailing the high seas.

Before passenger ships and cruise ships became widespread, it was considered extremely lucky for many people living by the sea to own a dragon.

The history of riding dragons can be traced back to ancient times.

He is enormous, reaching 2.5 meters tall when he is an adult.

The back is spacious, with a raised keratin layer that serves as a handle.

Dragons are very docile and have a gentle and kind heart.

They are not afraid of humans, and it is common to see fishermen and tourists in distress being rescued by the dragons.

Chenglong also loves to sing, and his songs can bring peace to people's hearts.

Secondly, the dragon's combat power is also quite good.

With his dual ice and water elemental abilities, he has a very good range of hits.

Lorelei, the Ice-type beauty from the Kanto region, has Lapras as one of her main units.

The fact that a Pokémon can be used by Elite Four member Lorelei shows its immense potential.

... ...

With a gentle and pleasing personality, outstanding abilities, and excellent sea riding skills.
