Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

The four of them have been roommates for half a year and have a deep friendship, but now they are about to have a short separation. However, this separation is for a better reunion.

Following the address given by Zhuang Yan, Su Yuan and Zhang Long came to a restaurant near the outskirts of the city.

"Hey! Brother Su Yuan, this is it!"

As soon as Su Yuan entered the door, he saw Zhuang Yan.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, long time no see, happy new year."

Su Yuan also greeted him with a smile. It had been more than a month since they parted in Yun Province.

"Haha, Happy New Year, but this New Year's greeting is a little late, come and sit down."

Zhuang Yan asked the two to sit down, and he saw Zhang Long and said with a smile.

"This must be the brother Zhang Long you mentioned who passed the assessment with you."

Zhang Long stretched out his right hand nervously and excitedly.

"Hello, Brother Zhuang Yan, my name is Zhang Long."

Su Yuan could see that Zhang Long's eyes were filled with admiration. After all, Zhuang Yan was not much older than them, but he was already a trainer with eight first-class gym badges. This kind of strength was truly admirable.

"Haha, hello. Don't be nervous and sit down. We are all friends."

The three of them sat down and started chatting while eating, and the three-person team was officially formed.

From a certain perspective, the three of them are all fighting parties with similar interests, and they simply can't stop chatting once they start.

Especially in some tactical play, Zhuang Yan and Zhang Long are very similar. They both firmly believe that the bond between themselves and their Pokémon can create miracles.

Moreover, Zhang Long's family is in Nanhe, and Zhuang Yan's family is in Dongshan, and these two provinces are adjacent to each other, so it feels like they met too late.

Chapter 129: Travel Route Confirmed

After chatting for a long time, the final question finally came to travel.

"By the way, do you have any plans next? Which gym do you plan to challenge first?"

Zhang Long replied.

"We plan to go to the Huaguang Gym in South Vietnam first."

"Oh, South Vietnam? That's interesting."

When Zhuang Yan heard that they were planning to go to South Vietnam first, he also became interested.

When he traveled before, he went all the way south from Dongshan Province and finally arrived in Lingnan. Afterwards, he went to Yun Province with Su Yuan, but he had never been to South Vietnam.

"What do you do after you go to South Vietnam? Where do you plan to go next?"

"I haven't decided on this yet. Su Yuan, which way do you think we should go?"

The two turned their attention to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan touched his chin and thought for a while before speaking.

"Why don't we go north along the coastal provinces and cities? What do you think?"

"Go north along the coastal provinces and cities?"

As he spoke, Zhuang Yan actually took out a paper map from his pocket.

“Going north from the coast of Nanyue, behind Nanyue is Minnan, then Yuhang, Gusu, Dongshan, and finally Tianjin and Beijing.

Hey, this route is interesting. You already have two badges now. If you follow this path, the gym you need to challenge for your last badge is right in the capital."

As he spoke, he placed the map on the table and marked the route he had just mentioned with a pen.

Su Yuan was also stunned when he saw it. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that it could be connected together.

“If you have enough time, after you defeat the last gym, you can even directly participate in the Donghuang League Tournament held in the capital.

As expected of you, Brother Su Yuan, you actually found such an excellent route."

"As expected of you, Su Yuan. Did you secretly study it last night?"

Su Yuan smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Do you believe me, I just said it casually?"

Coincidence, everything is a coincidence. Who would have thought that what I said casually would just connect the dots, and the last gym was where the alliance was planning to hold the event. I can only say that this is incredible luck.

Zhuang Yan put away the map and smiled.

"Well, whether it's a coincidence or not, at least the route of this trip is very good, and it will pass through Dongshan Province. You can come to my house and play then."

"I don't have any objection, how about we just leave it like this?"

The two looked at Su Yuan again, as if waiting for him to make the final decision.

Su Yuan nodded.

"That's it, after all, I was the one who proposed this suggestion, and I can't oppose an opinion I proposed myself."

"Okay, in that case, let's eat first, and then we'll get ready to set off!"

Zhuang Yan seemed to have thought of something and said to Su Yuan with a smile.

"Brother Su Yuan, although this route is very well chosen, clearing six gyms in more than four months is a bit too tight."

Zhang Long was stunned for a moment and asked with some confusion.

"Clear six gyms in four months? Why? What's the rush?"

"Of course, it's to catch up with the Donghuang League competition held during your summer vacation."

Zhuang Yan looked at Su Yuan and said.

"You must collect eight badges to participate in the competition. Su Yuan and you only have two badges now. If you want to catch up with this year's competition, you need to complete this trip within four months."

"Ah this!"

Zhang Long was also a little stunned.

"Su Yuan, are you in such a hurry? You plan to graduate in just one semester."

Su Yuan waved his hand.

"No, I'm just talking. You don't have to be so anxious. If you can't make it to this year's Donghuang League Competition, you can wait until later to participate."

"Haha, that's true. There's no need to be so anxious. It's just a pity that I won't be able to meet you, Brother Su Yuan, in the league competition."

"Well, let's talk about it later. Anyway, we can spar anytime we want, right?"

Su Yuan smiled, shook his head and raised his beer glass.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this and toast to the rest of our journey!"

"cheers!"

"Done!"

The three of them had a delicious meal and then officially set off.

At the entrance to the suburbs, alliance staff checked the identities of the three people.

"Zhuang Yan, a travel trainer. Su Yuan, a travel student at the Department of Biology, Lingnan University. Zhang Long, a travel student at the Department of Biology, Lingnan University. Identities have been confirmed. I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you."

Walking out of the city gate, Su Yuan came into the wild again after more than a month.

"Hoo~!"

Zhang Long took a deep breath and stretched.

"Great! The air outside the city is really fresh. It feels so refreshing!"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said.

"This is nothing. When you travel to a truly uninhabited wilderness, especially in the morning after the rain, the air is filled with the fragrance of soil and grass. That's how refreshing it feels."

"Really? I'm really looking forward to what I'll encounter during the rest of the trip."

"Okay, don't get excited, let's go, at least complete our goal for today first!"

"No problem, come out, Kentaro! Go in the direction where the sun rises!"

"Moo~!"

Zhang Long simply flipped over the cow and rushed out.

"Haha, brother Zhang Long is so generous, so I can't fall behind. Charizard!"

"Roar~!"

The domineering Charizard immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding trainers as soon as it appeared.

"Brother Su Yuan, I'm leaving first!"

Zhuang Yan jumped directly onto the back of the Charizard and rode it into the sky.

"You guys!"

Su Yuan rubbed his temples helplessly. They were bullying him for not having a Pokémon that could be used as a mount, right?

Wait, wait for the day when I will capture a Pokémon with extremely fast speed!

But now, Su Yuan can only walk obediently.

During the previous meal, the three of them planned a more detailed route.

At the same time, they set certain itinerary goals for each day, and their goal today was to camp by a lake far away from the Lingnan city.

At first, Su Yuan thought he had to walk there, and thought that this first target might be a bit far away.

As a result, the two guys showed no moral integrity and simply drove their Pokémon away, leaving Su Yuan hiking alone.

By the time Su Yuan arrived at the lake, it was already evening. Zhang Long and Zhuang Yan had already set up the barbecue grill and were grilling while waiting for Su Yuan.

"You're so slow, Su Yuan. We've already finished a box of canned luncheon meat."

"Yes, brother Su Yuan, brother Zhang Long said that you are very good at setting up shelters. I didn't even set up the tent to see your unique skills. I was just waiting to see your performance."

"you!"

Looking at these two guys, Su Yuan's blood pressure rose. First they left him to hike alone, and now they asked him to build a shelter.

"Sleep on the grass tonight! Don't even think about going to the shelter with you two bastards!"

Chapter 130: Fishing, Pokémon's Prank

Su Yuan forgave them only after Zhang Long and the other man sincerely apologized and vowed that they would never leave Su Yuan alone again.

In the end, Su Yuan showed Zhuang Yan what the art of architecture was. Under Boskodora's steel claws, huge rocks were cut into regular-sized stones. Finally, a temporary shelter was built beside the empty lakeshore like playing with building blocks.

Zhuang Yan was excited by Su Yuan's performance, so he released the Super Armored Rhino to give it a try.

But the result was not satisfactory. Although the Super Armored Rhino could control boulders like Boskodora and had amazing strength, it did not have Boskodora's sharp metal claws and could not cut rocks at all.

"That's awesome! A shelter built like this will probably last for years."

Zhuang Yan patted the sturdy stone house and sighed.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Su Yuan took out a small stool from his travel bag and sat down by the lake, then took out the fishing rod set and began to assemble it.

"There are many wild Pokémon living in the wild. You never know when you might get attacked by some bad-tempered creatures."

Zhuang Yan nodded.

"That's true. After all, for some Pokémon, destroying rocks is not a difficult task, such as Boskodora and Rhydon."

As he said this, he looked at the Super Armored Rhino and Boskodora who were staring at each other in the open space nearby.

Su Yuan also looked at the two big guys staring at each other and took out two more Poké Balls from his pocket.
