Chapter 478 Requesting Support! (Please vote with monthly tickets!)

March 21, Saturday, cloudy turning sunny.

On the northern coast of the Hoenn continent.

Wilderness areas, also known as "hunting zones".

It is a legal and compliant Pokémon catching area within the League. As long as you pay, you can even conduct large-scale hunting there.

However, you cannot use Pokémon to battle with it during the capture process, meaning you cannot forcibly capture it after defeating it.

Of course, if the wild Pokémon attack a trainer who enters, the trainer can retaliate through battle.

In addition, a special Poké Ball—the Safari Ball—must be used to catch Pokémon in the wild.

How should I put this Poké Ball?
The success rate of catching a ball without defeating it in a battle is even lower than the success rate of catching it with a regular ball.

Each person receives 30 Safari Balls after paying the fee, which can be used to catch any Pokémon in the Safari Zone, regardless of whether they are strong or weak, rare or common.

However, when leaving, no matter how many you catch, you can only take one with you.

However, in most cases, after 30 balls are thrown, not a single one is caught.

It gives you the feeling of spending money to play a ring toss game, but not being able to win a single ring.

However, many people still enjoy it.

In particular, when people learned that there was a baby Bellatrix, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, in this wild wilderness area, they flocked there in droves.

"The Hoenn region's hunting grounds claim to have Beast, and the Kanto region's hunting grounds claim to have Dratini—their marketing tactics are the same."

Jinghe rode a Rotom bicycle along the roads in the Wilderness Area.

Young Kiras sat in the basket, and after Rotom switched the bicycle to off-road mode, it moved smoothly even on the bumpy, muddy terrain.

"But considering that Dratini have indeed appeared in the hunting grounds of Kanto, it is likely that Dratini do exist here as well."

He remembered that there was a small lake in the hunting grounds of the Kanto region, where pseudo-legendary baby Dratini did indeed live.

They shouldn't be shooting aimlessly in the hunting grounds.

"But there are so many wild Pokémon."

Jinghe looked up.

The vast grasslands are teeming with wild Pokémon, some flying in the sky and others running on the ground.
A group of about a hundred Taurophorus butterflies feeding on the lakeside grass; busy Butterflies and Swallowtails hovering among the flowers in springtime; racing Doduri; and Lily Padmas swaying on the lake.
Finding a Bellatrix in such a vast place, among so many wild Pokémon, is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Not to mention, trying to catch a baby dragon with 30 "crude" hunting balls.

Thirty?
Even three hundred or three thousand might not succeed.

Therefore, in reality, catching Pokémon in the Safari Zone by force is only an option for people with exceptionally high luck.

Ash's act of using thirty Safari Balls to catch thirty Tauros is an extremely rare exception.

The more correct approach is to try to establish a friendly relationship with wild Pokémon and gain their favor before catching them.

However, there are time limits for hunting, so everyone has to rely on their own abilities.

"A quasi-god is like a passing cloud to me," Jing He said leisurely as he pedaled his bicycle, completely uninterested in finding the treasure dragon.

I already have two pseudo-legendary characters.

One is a Dragonite that has evolved to its final stage, and the other is a "Desert Tyrant" that is still in its hatchling stage.

Just look at the costs of training these two!

Dragonite was fine, but for Dratini and Dragonair, because they were well-fed in the "Dragon Sanctuary" and had excess nutrition, Jinghe didn't need to invest much in them in the early stages.

But after evolving into Dragonite, it grows to nearly three meters tall, with a belly even bigger than Gengar's, and its daily needs...
Needless to say, Young Kylas was even worse.

From birth, except when sleeping, we eat almost every moment. We are either eating or on our way to eat, and we may even be eating in our dreams.

Jinghe once suspected that the Pokémon egg that Giovanni gave her might have been injected with hormones, making it so edible.
The mere sight of a quasi-god cub, Young Giras, was enough to deter Jing He.

One more?
I'm afraid even after plucking all the hair, I might not be able to afford to feed it.

In any case, Jinghe has no intention of collecting any more Pokémon for the time being.

If so.
That's a Grass-type Pokémon!

On the one hand, it's because his family does lack the Grass type, which makes him, who has a "collecting obsession," somewhat itchy.

On the other hand, and more importantly, Grass-type Pokémon are easy to raise!

They may not even need to eat, or they only need to consume a small amount of energy cubes, as they can be self-sufficient most of the time through photosynthesis.

How comfortable?
Unbeknownst to her, Jinghe's views had changed.

I used to think that raising Pokémon with Power Cubes was very resource-intensive, but now I see Pokémon that can be raised using only Power Cubes, which is just too cute.

Of course, that's all for later. First, let's feed our current dogs.

Riding a bicycle leisurely.

The azure sky stretched as far as the eye could see, and a gentle breeze swept across the grassland, creating green waves. The peaceful wild Pokémon living along the way also brought a sense of tranquility.

"Yo-yo."

Larvitar munched on the ore while greeting the wild Pokémon along the way.

The wild Pokémon stared in disbelief, casting envious glances at them.

How comfortable Young Kiras
Although Rotom transformed into a bicycle, it didn't stop it from taking pictures; the flashes that occasionally lit up on the bicycle were all brought by it.

only.

The probability of taking a good photo using Gengar's "Conceptual Ability" is indeed quite low.
Fortunately, Rotom was already used to it and still enjoyed it.

Just ignore the Gengar that inexplicably appears in the photo.

Gradually.

A town is faintly visible at the edge of the grassland.

The vast Hoenn region actually has more than just a dozen towns.

Many towns and cities, large and small, are also scattered throughout the area.

For example, the town that Jinghe is about to arrive at is one of them, called "Yaxia".

Located on the northern coast of the Hoenn region, it is bordered by Lilycove City to the east, Lovren City to the west, and Wild Safari to the south.

The town was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, bustling with people, creating a lively and extraordinary scene.

At the entrance to the town, two beautiful figures, one tall and one short, both with long golden hair, stood still.

Upon seeing Jing He arrive leisurely, the blonde woman dressed in black, with crescent-shaped eyes, revealed a charming smile.

Meanwhile, the blonde little girl, dressed in a pink dress with hair almost reaching the ground, pouted, looking rather "unfriendly," as if she were complaining that Jing He's arrival had disturbed their shopping trip.

The two in black are Cynthia, who was already arranged to meet them, while the girl in pink is Gadria, who possesses extremely strong superpowers.

Jinghe couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache at the fact that Jia Deliya was also there.

This little girl's "hostility" towards him was even greater than Garchomp's, and he never expected that Gadria would happen to be with Cynthia.

"You're here." Cynthia's voice remained gentle.

"Ah."

Jinghe nodded and folded up the bicycle.

"Hmph!" Gadriya snorted coldly and turned her head slightly.

Jinghe has learned her lesson and will ignore her, just pretend she doesn't exist.

Seeing that Jinghe acted as if he hadn't seen her, Jiadeliya became furious, clenched her little fists, and looked ready to fight.

"Yo-yo."

Young Gilas, who was picking his teeth with a small stick after eating, looked at Cynthia with curiosity, then at Cattleya, and tilted his head to the side.

It remembered Cynthia, but this was the first time it had seen Gadria.

Gengar seemed more familiar with the situation, flying out of Jinghe's shadow and hovering beside Cynthia with an eager expression.

"Genga~~"

Long time no see!
Cynthia smiled and took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses, handing them to Gengar.

Upon seeing this, Gengar's eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, it took the pendant and put it on its face, giving Jinghe a wink.

Am I handsome?

I have to say, the Gengar actually looks quite like a thousand-year-old ghost after wearing it.

At least, they've become wiser.

"Boshi Glasses?" Jing He was somewhat surprised.

[Glasses of Knowledge: Increases the power of a Pokémon's special moves by 10% while it is holding this item.]

This thing isn't cheap, and it's actually quite suitable for Gengar.

Gengar became even more eager after receiving it.

"And here's one for you." Cynthia crouched down, patted the little baby Gilas's head, and handed him a dark stone with a smile.

Young Gilas twitched its nose slightly, let out a cry, and immediately took it and put it in its mouth.

This black stone is somewhat like the obsidian of the scythe. It is very hard, and even with Larvitar's current teeth, it cannot be directly bitten and crushed. It can only be held in its mouth and slowly ground down.

"Didn't you just finish eating?"

Jinghe tapped the little guy on the head in an annoyed tone.

Young Gilas kept clutching his head and stomach, mumbling incoherently, making it impossible to understand what he was saying. Despite his flustered movements, he looked rather endearingly clumsy.

This made Cynthia's smile even wider.

Before Jing He could speak, she seemed to know what Jing He was going to say, so she explained, "It's the reward for the mantis that splits the axe."

The Pokémon Scizor is almost extinct. When the two of them found one, they sent it to Professor Yamanashi's laboratory. Professor Yamanashi didn't know where to start his research for a while.

Fortunately, Jinghe knew about the evolution of Scizor and gave Professor Yamanashi advice, which led to the current research results.

It's estimated that Dr. Yamanashi will present his findings on the scythe mantis at the researchers' conference convened by Dr. Blatano later.

Upon hearing this, Jing He suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

"These are some of my discoveries at some ruins."

Cynthia handed over a small bag, similar to a spatial backpack, which was filled with many oddly shaped stones of various sizes.

These are all food for young Gilas.

This would be considered a gift from a good friend.

"Thank you."

Jing He didn't refuse, but a thought lingered in her mind.
Does this mean my baby Gila grew up eating food from many different families?

"I said." Gadria couldn't stand it anymore. There was a living person here. Couldn't you two please pay attention to them?
"Gardelia?" Jing He looked surprised, as if she were quite shocked. "When did you arrive?"

Gadriya: "."

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Fengyuan? Look at me, I haven't made any preparations as a 'host'," Jing He said with a slightly exaggerated expression.

Cattleya bit down, making a soft "crunching" sound.

Upon seeing this, Jing He's expression immediately turned serious, and she hurriedly said, "Gengar, there's an ice cream stand over there, let's go take a look."

"Genga?!"

Where is it? Where is it?

"Don't run away, I challenge you to a duel!" Cattleya chased after her angrily.

Cynthia smiled and shook her head.

"Is it a holiday today? The house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations."

In the town of Yaxia, Jinghe held an ice cream in her hand, eating it as she asked a question.

Behind him, Gengar floated, bouncing like a balloon, holding an oversized ice cream in its hand and licking it incessantly.

Young Gilas, carrying the same ice cream as Gengar, waddled ahead, though it slightly obstructed his view, so he had to stop every now and then to peek out from behind the ice cream to check the road.

"There are no festivals, it's just a circus performance."

Caldelia was also holding an ice cream, her tone rather disdainful, but the curiosity that couldn't be suppressed in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

"Small in stature but big in brains," Jing He thought to herself.

"There really is a circus performance." Cynthia realized she hadn't had ice cream in a long time; this was her first time this year. The light lick of her tongue brought her joy.

After a pause, he added, "But it is still a holiday."

"Ok?"

"Today should have been the 'Water Festival' for the people of the water."

People of the Water, Water Festival
There are many ancient inhabitants in the Hoenn region.

For example, Mikoli is a member of the Lapis Lazuli people, an ancient people who once worshipped and worshipped Rayquaza. There is a branch of the Lapis Lazuli people in Lapis Lazuli City.

Meanwhile, within Meteor Falls, a branch of the survivors known as the Meteor People also thrives. Higana and Shiogana, who are related to Rayquaza, are both members of the Meteor People.

The people of the water, or the people of the water, are one of the ancient peoples, but it seems that they have disappeared without a trace nowadays.

The reason Jinghe and Shirona came to the town of Asshal was because Shirona learned that this place was originally the breeding ground of a water people.

Perhaps we can find traces of the sea god and his relics here.

The Aquatic Festival is an ancient festival of the people of the waters. The current inhabitants of Asshai do not have this custom; they celebrate it simply because a circus is coming to perform.

"Shall we go take a look?" Jinghe suggested.

Upon arriving in the Pokémon world, he had never actually seen a Pokémon circus performance before, and he wondered how different it would be from his original understanding.

"Little girl" Cattleya pouted, but her body language betrayed her true feelings.

Cynthia, of course, wouldn't object.

"Genga?"

"Yo-yo?"

Gengar and Larvitar, on the other hand, seemed very excited and expectant.

A circus performance, huh?
Is it a horse-riding performance?

The town square in Yasha Town.

The huge square was packed with people, a cacophony of voices and a sea of ​​heads. Under the colorful flags, carriages and strollers formed a semicircle, with a stage set up in the middle.

Jinghe and his group arrived at a rooftop platform, which offered an excellent vantage point, allowing them to see the entire square from below.

For this rare circus performance, Jinghe and Cynthia summoned all their Pokémon, eagerly awaiting the start of the show.

Thud! Thud! Thud—

Fireworks burst in the sky, and a change occurred on the stage.

"I'm coming!"

The crowd below began to cheer.

"By the way," Jing He, leaning against the railing, suddenly asked, "what kind of circus is this?"

Cynthia shook her head.

“The Little Wharf Circus? You don’t even know that?” Gadriya blurted out.

Her cheeks flushed slightly at the "you knew all along" looks they gave her.

"I...I just happened to overhear someone mention it on the street," Cattleya retorted, her neck stiff. "As a superhuman, it's perfectly reasonable for me to be able to hear things you can't!"

Jing He's smile held a strange undertone.

It's very reasonable.

As trainers, it's perfectly reasonable for us to carry around wrenches, axes, hammers, and the like.

But why does the Little Pier Circus sound so familiar?

I feel like I've heard this somewhere before.
"Gengga! Gengga!"

It’s started! It’s started!

Gengar was floating in mid-air; if Jinghe hadn't stopped it, it probably would have already floated onto the stage.

A bright green mosquito coil frog king appeared on the stage, followed by two mosquito coil minions and mosquito coil tadpoles.

Mosquito Coil and Mosquito Tadpole spat out streams of water, but instead of scattering, they were transformed into water spheres floating in mid-air by the psychic powers of a Charemus and a Marshall.

Pop! Pop! Pop—

"Wow, wow!"

While clapping, the Mosquito Coil Frog King began to sing a strange but rhythmic tune.

Immediately afterwards, a clown-dressed man rode onto the field on a unicycle. He had his arms outstretched, on which stood five pufferfish, each spitting out water balloons, which became props tossed around by the clown.

at the same time.

Dewprik, Goldeen, and other Water-type Pokémon fell into the water sphere. From the high platforms on both sides, people dressed in strange swimsuits appeared and leaped into the floating water sphere like mermaids, beginning their performance.
The audience cheered enthusiastically, and the Great Blacksmith, Martial Arts Bear Master, and Azure Flame Blade Demon were also very happy.

Gengar's gaze was intense.

It suddenly realized that while the circus performance was entertaining, it didn't seem particularly challenging.
My own friends can do it too, and they can even do it better, right?
Making money by establishing an "outlaw circus"?
Jing He, who was watching the performance, was also stunned.

He couldn't recall anything about a "small dock circus" on its own, but seeing this performance brought back some memories.

Isn't this a scene from the movie "The Prince of the Sea, Manaphy"?

The legendary mythical Pokémon, Manaphy, the "Prince of the Sea," is a Pokémon capable of controlling and manipulating Kyogre!

Speaking of which, Kyogre has had a pretty rough time. It's either been "pierced" by its brothers, "controlled" by mythical Pokémon like Manaphy and Hoopa, or caught out by other players.
Since Kyogre hasn't recovered yet, Manaphy's egg probably hasn't appeared either, right?

But Jinghe already had a guess about the "sea god's ruins" that the statue pointed to.

It is highly likely to involve the "Temple of the Sea," Aqsha.

Those are all treasures.
“Jing He,” Shirona suddenly said.

"Ok?"

"They can breathe freely in the water."

She was referring to the two people who jumped into the water balloon to perform.

Ordinary viewers might think they were just holding their breath, but the observant Cynthia noticed something else.

Of course, it was also because she investigated the reasons for the "water people".

Legend has it that the Water People can breathe freely in water.
drip-

The phone suddenly rang.

It's an emergency call for help from the International Police Department, issued simultaneously to a wide area, and the sender is none other than a familiar face—the handsome guy!

"Request support!"
